STORM SWEPT
State in Throes Of a Storm APP
preaching a Genuine
Blizzard.
FIRST REAL COLD SNAP
Snow Is a Foot and a Half Deep in tho
Black Hills and the Storm Is
Heavier Than Any of
Last Year.

Deadwood, S. d., Dec. 4.-Eighteen
lnche of snow have covered the Black
Hills, yesterday and last night. The
storm is one of the worst in recent
years and seems to indicate that the
approaching winter will be a severe
one The storm started with the ther-
mometer high, but during the night The
mercury dropped, n with q high wind
the storm practically developed into a
blizzard. 1t is feared that stock will
suffer on account of the storm, as
stockmen would not be expecting such
a severe storm so early in the winter.
Pierre, s.. D., Dec. A fierce snow
storm ragged all day yesterday and last
night here. The snowfall is heavy, APP
prog ching q foot in places, n 1T is GER
tain to prove disastrous to young stock
on the range. However, cattlemen have
plenty of feed, and the grass is long,
so there Will be 10 suffering on that
score.
Huron, S.. D., Dec. A snowstorm
set in here yesterday morning and has
continued without interruption. The
temperature was mild all day yester-
day, but during the night the thermom-
eter dropped, n during the night the
storm approached a blizzard. The snow
is light and will not prevent cattle from
grazing on the Jim river valley prairies.
The weather is not severe enough to
cause suffering among stock.

CROKER WILL RETURN
Former Tammany Chief to Come Back
to New York.

New York, Dec. 4.-Richard Croker
will return in the spring. This infor-
nation was obtained from John Fox,
president of the democratic club. Mr..
Fox was in Europe this summer and
had several talks with Mr.. Croker. He
said MI. Croker told him that he eX-
pected to visit New York during the
coming year to see his relatives and old
friends. When Mr.. Fox was told that
this information was at variance with
the statement of Mr.. Croker's inten-
tons made by ]. Sergeant Cram on his
return from abroad, he said he was
sure Mr.. Cram must have received a
false impression from Mr.. Croker's re-
marks.
Mr.. Croker has no desire to resume
the leadership of Tammany hail." said
Mr.. Fox, and his coming will have no
especial significance.
His idea is that the young men
ought TO be put at the helm in this
state. If hat is done, and the men
whose political experience enables
them to give valuable advice accord to
the new leaders their loyal support, the
state car be carried by the democracy"

Delegates Of the Brotherhood
Formulating Requests
at Chicago.
ARE WORKING IN Nj
For the First Time in Eight Years the
Trainmen Are United and Will
Stand Together in Event
Of Trouble.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-The Chronicle thi:
morning says:
With the purpose of formulating re-
quests for an increase of from 10 to q
per cent in the pay Of 10000 railroad
employees, committees from -four prom
inent labor organizations are o
meeting in Chicago. They are holding
sessions in four Chicago hotels and may
be expected 10 present their demands
to the railroad officials early next
week.
III four organizations represented
by the committee are: Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, membership Al
600; Brotherhood OF Locomotive. Fire
men, membership AZ, 1000; Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, membership Co.,
coo; Order Of Railway Conductors
membership 22,0C0.

mony and may be counted upon t.
stand together in the possibility OF
trouble with the railroads.
1t is announced by members Of the
committee representing the ~organiza
ton that requests for increases in pay
will be made by the -four organization,
from every railroad system in the mid
die west and northwest. Eastern roads

CORN HUsKiNe OUT POOR.
Next Years Seed Corn Will Have to
Be Imported,


Canton, S. D., Dec. 4.-The annual corn
harvest throughout this section is almost
completed. The end of the week will sec
very little, IL any, corn left TO be husked,
and the work is being finished several
weeks earlier than usual. The result Of
the crop has been little better than was
estimated six weeks or two months ago.
While there were a few good fields, the
great majority of the crop Is soft and un-
desirable, very little of ii being fit for
.cribbing. A great many farmers have not
considered their corn worth husking and
have turned their stock into it to eat IT
up as quickly as possible, and for thi5
purpose there is a great deal of young
stock purchased abroad and imported for
feeding purposes. In numerous instances
tenants who had land rented for cash
rent turned the entire crop over to the
owner in payment for the rent. The
result of the shortage cannot help but
work a great scarcity of corn throughout
the entire southern part Of the state the
coming year. Many farmers say that
there will be scarcely any corn in the
country this year fit for seed and the bulk
of next years seed corn will have TO be
imported. The trouble with the crop thi-
year has been the unusually late frost
spring, which threw the crop back
several weeks, and the continuous heavy
rains during the growing season Whici
prevented proper cultivation.

MAY HAVE TO WALK.
Street Car Employees in Chicago Are
Again Threatening to Strike.

Chicago. Dec. 3.-Dissensions within the
ranks of the Chicago City railway en-
ployes and the failure Of General Man
ager McCulloch to live up to an agree
ment to increase the pay Of the men have
caused so much discomfort that another
street railway strike is among the holt
day possibilities. A strike during the
holiday season, the men believe, would
bring about a more speedy settlement Of
the points at issue than is usually the
case. Several weeks ago., when the diff
ferences between the employees Of the
road and the management were settled,
the leaders say Manager McCulloch prom
ised TO increase the pay of the men, but
