THE STORMS WORK.
Wild Blow of Sunday Night Made
Heaps of Trouble.

The work of the wild storm of sum
day night was shown yesterday in late
trains, broken telephone and telegraph
wires, broken windows and shutters,
and blocked roadways.
The Ontario and Western passenger
train, which was held at Orson by q
coal train that was stalled in a close-by
cut, did not get into Carbondale until 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The wires
between here and points north were
down, cutting off communication with
Mayfield yard. They were repaired dur
ing yesterday.
The storm, which was the worst since
the blizzard OF 1883, caused q good deal
of damage and inconvenience. The
roads leading to town were lost under
the snow drifts, making it almost i'm
possible 10 reach the city. The stage
from Clifford had to come around Dun
daft way and did not reach here until
past noon. In most of the city schools
only one session was held. The big
Coalbrook was affected by the storm,
and the men We're sent home soon after
reporting for work.
There were number of shutters and
windows broken throughout the town.,
but the most damage in any single in
stance was at the Van Bergen COM
pany's offices, on Dundaff street, where
big plate glass window was blown in.

BOY BUILDING.
That Is the r,ission of Good Food,

There is an abundance of proof that
food can be selected that will build up
a brain as we'll as body.
One case is that of boy and the
description is given by his mother. She
says, This particular son has always
had delicate stomach, and when he
was an infant had cholera infantun
two or three seasons in succession;
he was exceedingly hard to raise, and
was not we'll enough 10 so to school
when he became old enough"
= The mother says. FINALLY we con-
cluded TO put him on Grape-Nuts ex-
clusiVely and see what the food would
do for him, We did, and to our great
astonishment our boy improved daily.
He Is now hearty and getting along in
school unusually we'll. He still de-
pends upon Grape-Nuts for goodly
share of his diet.
& Whenever children are hungry at
bedtime 1t is always safe to let them
eat Grape-Nuts and let them go TO bed.

Nuts by using il myself, and found

About General Gordon.

On Tuesday, February II, General
John B. Gordon is to come here in the
Brockway lecture course and speak on
THE Last Days Of the Confederacy."
AS one of the active agents of that
body he participated in the stirring
scenes which he will vividly describe in
this city. General Gordon was born in
Georgia in 1882 and educated at the
University of Georgia. Before the war
he practiced law, and in 1851 entered
she Confederate army as captain of in
fantry. He rose through the various
grades and in 1868 was major-general
and corps commander. When the army
of Lee surrendered at AppomattcX
General Gordon was in command of the
second army corps. During hostilities
he was wounded eight times and bears
on his face now an ugly scar made by
u union ball.
After the war he took q prominent
place among the progressive men Of the
south and in 1868 was elected governor
OF Georgia. In 1868 and in 1872 he was
q delegate to the Democratic national
convention and a presidential elector.
In 1872 he was elected to the United
States senate and soon ranked as one
of it's most brilliant orators. He was
elected to succeed himself, but resigned
to give more attention to his private
affairs. In 1886 and again in 1888 he
was elected governor of Georgia and
in 1890 was again chosen as United
States senator
1t may be of interest to add that
General Gordon entertained Admiral
Sihley at Atlanta a few days ago.
