STORM IS Disastrous.
Fears for Chicago's Water supply
Traffic Demoralized.

Chicago. March G.-For the past SC
hours Illinois. Minnesota. Iowa. Nebras-
ka. Missouri. Michigan and Wisconsin
have experienced a series Of storms, re-
markable for their severity. The CEN
ter however. appears to have been
through Wisconsin, and Illinois and
along Lake Michigan where heavy
snow. changing to hail, then 10 rain, ac-
companled by a gale, has resulted in
partial decentralization OF the telegraph
and telephone service and has badly
crippled railway service Today the
Ohio valley and lower lake region is be-
Ing drenched with rain. which in places
is driven in perfect clouds by the fierce
wind
There is some danger OF Chicago's
water supply being partly cut off,as all
OF the cribs and intakes are hemmed
IN by perfect mountains OF ice and only
unceaslng work By the crib keepers has
so far prevented trouble.
