STORMS IN Middle STATES
BLIZZARD VISITED CHICAGO
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, NebrasLn,
Kansas md Texas Ahected-Trafhc
stopped in PIaces-One Fatality
Reported From Texas.

A severe blizzard occurred during
the first of the week among the middle
states and in Texas, and doing much
damage.
Six inches of snow on the level and
drifts in many cases in the outlying
districts, piled as high as second-story
windows, is the condition Chicago is
in. The snow began to fall early in
the day, and by the middle of the after
noon a regular blizzard was raging,
with the wind blowing gale from the
west
The snow and wind storm was gen.
eral throughout Nebraska and north
ern Iowa. The worst snow storm in
several years ragged in northern Kan
sas and southern Nebraska.
The snow storm that struck Des
Moines is the most severe of the win
ter. A strong northwest wind has been
blowing all day, drifting the snow.
A blizzard from the northeast ragged
all day in Milwaukee. Only few
street cars are running. The snow is
drifting badly.
A tornado did great damage in the
western portion of Delta county, Tex
as. The home of James Moody, at Hon
est, was wrecked and his 4-year-old
daughter fatally injured. Tink Sur
rett was killed and two daughters seri
ously injured at Rattan, where mum
Der of houses were wrecked. At Den
ton an oil mill was wrecked, hut nc

Beers Capture AN OUTPOST
LATE REPORT OF KITCHENER.
Meddersfontein Garrison Troops Had
to Surrender-Were Attacked by
Superior Forces-No Defnils-Pet-
ersburg Reoccupied. a.

London, Feb. 5.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, commander in chief in
South Africa:
Pretoria, Feb. 4.-Our post at Med
dersfontein, on the Gate railroad.
southeast of Krugersdorp, was attack
ed by a thousand Beers. The relief
column sent out from Krugersdorp
failed to prevent the fall of the post.
No details yet at hand, but the officers
and men not captured at the post are
arriving at Vereeniging"
Petersburg Reoccupied.
Bloemfontein, Feb. 4.-The British
have reoccupied Petersburg.
Occupy Portuguese Land.
Lorenzo Marques, Feb. 4.-There is.
a commando of two thousand Beers on
Portuguese territory. 1t is supposed
that their intention is to rescue the
Beers here. The Portuguese authori-
ties have decided to remove to Madeira
such Boer refugees as decline to sur
render to the British.

big Fight Is on.

Cincinnati, Feb Although the mayor
of Cincinnati has issued a permit for 10
round bout between Childs and Martin
and 20 round bout between Jeffries and
Rubin in this city on February 10, it is
evident now that the event can not be
pulled off without coming in conflict with
the whole power of the state, as well as
with the opposing elements in this city.
Mayor Fleischmann has persistently re-
fused permits for local fights or boxing con-
tests of any kind, but in sympathy with
the old Saengerfest association he promised
a permit for their benefit on February 10,
and kept his word, notwithstanding the
storm Of local opposition. 1t is not be-
lieved that Mayor Fleischmam will go
any further than he has gone in issuing
the permit. He will not use the police of
the city to protect the contest in the event
of the opposition of Governor Nash, and
there is no longer any doubt about the
opposition of the governor. The brother
of Mayor Fleschmann is on Governor
Nash's staff, and both Fleischmann broth
ers are close friends of the governor, per.
sonally and politically.

sake of his beloved mother. The king has

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet's report for
last week is as follows:
Business on the whole was Of a larg-
err volume last week. Cold and stormy
weather unquestionably stimulated re-
tail business in boots, shoes, rubber
goods and clothing and this has aided
i'll Tightening the stocks carried by re-
tailers as result of mild weather here
tofore. More has been doing, too, in
wholesale lines on spring account and
business in this respect is classed as
fair. Reports are relatively best from
the west and south, from which sec
tion advices are that the total January
business compares well with a year
ago. The contrary is reported from
leading eastern markets. however, and
the aggregate done here has not by far
equaled expectations. Trade collec-
lions as a whole were fair, the only
complaint coming from sections where
mild weather has interfered with the
distribution of heavy goods.
Foundry pig iron was lower at all
leading markets but on the other hand,
Bessemer is rather firmer, while steel
billets sell for 25c more per ton, and
there is talk of an advance of 81 per
ton. In finished products wire and
wire nails are So up. The weakness
in foundry grades is chargeable to
large buyers who, having satisfied their
early wants now, are holding off, and
to reports that stocks are increasing.
A sale of 10000 tons is reported closed
at the concessions noted. Export trade
in crude forms is practically dead but
in finished lines a good business is
still doing in railway material, exam
pies of which are shipments of locomo
tives to France, steel rails to Mexico
and South Africa and steel billets to
England. Heavy calls for pipe are re
ported from the new oil district in
Texas. The labor outlook has been
helped by the compromise between the
valley furnace operators and thei1
men.
Wheat, including -four, shipments
for the week, aggregate 3,776,100 bush
els, against 4,S3S,67S bushels last week
2,742,937 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1900 and 6,5S5,418 bushels II
1899.
From July 1 to date this season
wheat exports are 5,957, 6S3 bushels
against 100, 1895 bushels last season
and 150, 1877, $50 bushels in 1898-99.
Failures in the United States for thu
last week of January numbered 23'
as against 2S1 last week, III in this
week a year ago and 207 in 1899.
Canadian failures for the week mum
Der 81, as compared with "a last week

Denver, Feb. 4.-The following call for
the convention of the American Cattle
Growers association has been issued:

erly come before the convention. The
present basis of representation of this asso-
cation is individual membership, and any
citizen, cattle grower and owner, is eligi-
bic for membership upon payment of mi
uatlon fee of So, and will be entitled to
one vote in this convention.
This convention is the result of a meet
ing OF large number of prominent grow
ers OF cattle from many states and terri
tories held in Salt Lake City on the even
ing OF Jan. IL, 1901, to consider the ques-
ton whether there should be formed gem
eral organization to promote and protect
the industry of cattle growing. The gen.
eral interest felt in the question was mani
fest by the large and enthusiastic attend
ance, wherein every state and territory
but one west of the Mississippi river was
represented. After discussion it was de-
cided the cattle growers association should
be constructed and its membership was to
be made up exclusively of cattle growers.
Officers and executive committee, repre-
senting each state, to hold until the first

that boycott against the National league
is the result of the Players Protective

tween the players association and the
league exists and that the national asso-
citation will either have to recognize the
players association or fight to finish.
