The rush for homesteads in the Pierre

January, regardless of the cold wealth
er. which has prevailed all the month
so far, making the looking-over OF
lands an uncomfortable proposition.
For the first half Of the month seventy
five filings have teen made. OF which
twenty-eight were made on Thursday
last. The filings made that day were
practically all by parties from Brook
ings county. One of the features Of the
demand for the lands being secured In
that district. Is that, so far. those doing
the fling are from the eastern border
of the state or from Northwestern
Iowa, who know just what South Da-
kota is, and know hat they are getting
a good thing. 1t Is not yet such a
grand rush from farther east as was
the settlement Of the early eighties; but
that is bound to follow as soon as the
warm weather comes. The people OF
that section Of the country have yet to
learn that this section is not tce-bound
for six months in the year, and they
are afraid to venture out until they are
certain that the weather will be warm.

New York, Feb. 23.-Snow followed

this city and vicinity the most disa-

During the early hours OF the day
heaVy, wet snow fell in huge flakes.
This condition prevailed for several
hours, Shortly after noon the snow
turned into a steady drizzle OF rain
that continued with intermittent perl
DDS of sleet, all afternoon and far into
the night. Much OF the snow that was
left from the recent blizzard was quick
ly converted into slush and last night
the streets We're inches deep. The side
walks throughout the city were COW
cred and the crossings were almost i'm
passakle.
The work OF the street cleaning de-
partment was undone and the city's
streets are in a worse condition than
before thousands of snow shovelers
went TO work after the blizzard. Dur
Ing the evening the temperature fell
enough TO. turn the downpour Of rain
into a coating of ice over buildings
and trees. In Central Park the trees
creaked under the weight OF the thick
Ice. Many branches fell. This condi-
ton prevailed throughout the other
parks of the city.

Traffic or the Brooklyn bridge was
almost at a s~tandstill. Heavy trucks
could scarcely be moved even when
four stout horses to each did their best
to get a foothold on the slippery road

every indication that the electric SER

entirely out OF service in a few hours.
Electric wires were down In every part
OF the city.
