Chadron, Neb., April 23.--A wet.
heavy snow has been falling for -
hours, and there is now about a foot
II snow on the level. This is the most
disastrous storm for the cattle that
has fallen this winter, as grass has
act yet grown enough for feed on the
ranges. Many Of the poorer cattle
will die, but small number are of
this class, as the winter has been
mild and has left the most Of them
in good condition.

warnings. the Venetians, secure in the con-
hdence born OF centuries OF safety, have
paid little heed TO the changes which 1t Is
asserted time and the elements were work
ing In secret. The toppling OF the Cam
panile, however, seems to have awakened
the Inhabitants at length TO sense of the
danger impending. AT. official investigation
