The statement in q Topeka paper yes
terday that the colored people were up

caused indignation among members Of
that race.

scented in this connection. He says that
in the home Of nearly every colored man
in Topeka this matter was discussed last
night, and generally any participation
one way or another in the crusade OF
Mrs. Nation was strongly opposed
He further says that there is strong
talk of forming a vigilance COMMITTEES

Snowfall Only Lacked 8 Hun
dredths of an Inch However.

'arhe snow begun in the cleaning
And busily all the night,
Heaped the fields and highways
In a silence deep and white
Each birch and FIR and hemlock
Wore erTnine too dear for an earl
And the smallest twig on an elm tree
Was ridged inch deep in pearl"
Eleven and seven-hrlndredths inches
of snow is the record of the fall as made
by the weather office here since Friday.
The snow was light and fluffy and
stayed on the ground, instead OF melt
ing The fall Friday was one-half inch,
the fall Saturday three inches and
half and Sunday record was eight inch
es making a total of nearly IL inches
Sunday morning the fall of snow was so
dense that it was hard to see more than
a block. The large fakes were coming
down four in a bunch and the street car
men were busy trying to keep the lines
open. Two, three and four cars in a lire
were bucling the drifts on the track in
a vain effort to keep ahead of the fall
ing fakes. On Kansas avenue the street
force was out with the big, road grad
ers and four horses trying TO clear tina
cutters so that when the melting comes
the flood will not be over the sidewalk
The snow was not wet and the line
men were not called out as the wires
were not heavily loaded The street car
ploughs could hardly keep up with the
little flakes. On the Sixth street hills
the three cars behind the plOws slid to
the bottoms of the grades, made a. run
again up the hills bucking into the snow
for a few inches and sliding back to the
bottom again. People walked in the
middle of the streets. making faster
time than the street cars. By this mora
ing the lines were pretty well opened
and the cars were running as closely on
time as possible.
Sunday the maximum temperature
was Il and the minimum 15 Saturday
night the temperature was 81 from mid
night till o'clock. Today the maxi
mum was six above and the minimum at
8 o'clock this morning two above. The
maximum occurred at 10 o'clock this
morning.
The snow has been general over Kan
sas except at Wichita, where there is
snow five miles north Of the town but
none in the city. The storm came in
from the southwest There was moe
snow in western Kansas Saturday than
here. A low barometer moved southeast
from New Mexico through Colorado to
the east and brought the storm. There
has been precipitation. either in rain or
snow, in southern California. Arizona
New Mexico Utah. Colorado Kansas
and Missouri.
