BAD BLIZZARD IN WYOMING
Storm Said TO Be the Worst Which Has
Visited State in Fifteen Years.
RAILROAD BLOCKADE IS ANTICIPATED
several stages Reported Lost and Two
Mail Carriers Also Reported Lost
Drop I'm Temperature Would
InJure Stock.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. ~1s.-(Special
Telegram. )-Probably the worst blizzard
that has visited southeastern Wyoming,
western Nebraska and northern Colorado
in fifteen years is in progress. Snow began
falling at midnight and the storm increased
In fury today. being accompanied by a high
wind that piled the snow in high banks and
filled the railroad cuts. At noon business
was practically suspended In the city and
1t is feared owing to the inability OF the
dealers to deliver coal there will be much
suffering.
Reports from the country indicate that
the blizzard extends from Rawlins as far
east as North Platte, north to Casper and
south to Denver. The railroads are run
ming rotaries and wedge pillow and large
gangs Of shovelers are at work, but It APP
pears that a blockade must surely occur
unless the storm abates.
Several stages are reported lost in the
storm on the Laramie plains and two mail
carriers are believed to have been lost
north Of Cheyenne.
. There have been no losses of stock as
yet, but should the temperature take a sud
den drop the worst is feared.
TOPEKA, Kan. Dec. ia cold rain pre-
in progress for the last six hours. The
temperature is much higher than at any
time for q week and the snow, which cov-
cred the ground to a depth Of hve inches,
is rapidly melting. The ground has not

appropriation the Portland exposition. Mr..
Knapp was assured by Governor Savage that
he would do so. Later he saw Governor
elect Mickey, who was passing through the
city, and he, too, promised to recommend
that Nebraska have an exhibit at Portland.
The exhibit at Portland, said Mr.. Knapp,
would be no additional cost to the state.
His plan is to have the exhibit that Ne
braska sends to st. Louis transferred to
Portland at the close of the ST.. Louis
exposition. The railroads, he said, had
agreed to ship the exhibit free Of cost.
Portland will furnish the buildings in
which the exhibits will be placed unless
the various states desire to have separate
buildings. In that case each state will
furnish its own building.
The state Of Oregon has appropriated
$500. 900; Portland, $500, 900, and congress
will be asked to appropriate $780, 900 to
pay the expenses Of the exposition. Most
Of the states west of the Mississippi have
s~ignihed the intention to take part in thH
exposition.
Governor Mickey was in Lincoln a short
time this morning and left for York, and
expects to return to Lincoln the first Of the
week.

his interstate debates will be between Ne
braska- Colorado at Colorado Springs in
March; Nebraska-Kansas at Lawrence in
April; Nebraska-Missour at Lincoln prob
ably early in May. These two questions
have been decided upon for two Of the de-
bates:
Resolved. That as a general principle the
continuance of public service industries in
the United States should be insured by the
legislature compelling the arbitration Of
employees.
The other question decided upon Is:
Resolved. Thai experience proves that
the concentration of vast ag%gregations OF
capital In tho hands OF single private manu-
featuring corporations is inimical to public
welfare.
Both questions will be debated in the. pre-
liminary contest. 1t has not been decided
with what state Nebraska will debate the
latter question, but the first will be handled
by Kansas and Nebraska.
The fourth annual meeting Of the indie
pendent telephone companies representa-
tives is. In session at the Lincoln hotel and
will hold over until Saturday evening. Il
is expected that seventy-hve members will
