Res uIts Of Recent Elections Indicate Pass
ing OF LegaHzed joints
The State Temperance union has beer
collecting data as to the result Of the re
cent municipal elections IN Kansas as il
related to the enforcement Of the pro
hibitOry law, and the current issue Of the
Kansas Issue. the organ Of the union
contains the following:
'Oue hundred and sixty towns OF SOC
people and over have reported to the
union the results Of the recent spring
election. Classifying the towns in va
riOus ways We find, first, that Of the 16O
towns reporting . Of the formerly wet
towns went dry and IS Of the formerly
wet towns went wet? Again 81 Of the
formerly dry towns went dry and So of
the formerly wet towns went wet In
q Of the 100 towns the reports indicate
an uncertainty as 70 the attitude Of the
incoming administration toward the en-
forcement OF the prohibitOry law. The
probable condition during the coming
year was reported better il 80 towns and
worse in only 10.
The reports were tabulated conserva-
lively. For instance where the incom-
ing administration was reported not par
lcularIy interested, indifferent 'neut-
raj favorable to temperance, but not
active 'luEewarm,' 'apathetic,' slack
etc, we have counted such towns in the
wet lists unless other statements in the
report make it clear that they were
dry
"In a number Of instances where the
administration last year was dry and
the new administration is also dry the
new condition was reported as even
better than the old. In some cases the
new administration was not reported as
dry but as to more favorable to law en-
forcement than the old. We find 81 Of
the 16O towns are in a decidedly hopeful
CO ndition, because either the law will be
enforced or the situation is more hope
ful than it was last year.
"Reports from towns Of less popula-
ton than 500 would doubtless make the
showing better. The reports that we
have, however, are most encouraging
and show that the comments are well
founded which are being made all over
the land on the endorsement given by
Kansas at her recent spring elections"

COUNTRY UNDER A BIG SNOW
Has Parallel, May ?, 1891, When
a Mammoth Crop Was Raised.
One Ofthe Heaviest SHOWS Of the Year Falls
Tuesday and Wednesday, Accompanied
With Heavy neutrality-suspicious.
Below the Freezing Point.

Tuesday the whole sky was overcast
with clouds and in the afternoon a light
sleet Of rain began to fail, which turned
to snow in the evening. The wind was
high al night Tuesday asd all day We'd
nesdsy, and the heavy fall Of snow was
driven hard through the air and was
piled up in big drifts here and there.
Fully six inches Of snow fell before the
storm abated.
The storm seemed to be general over
the country, snow falling in the western
part OF Kansas and in Colorado, but in
the more eastern part Of the country the
precipitation turned to rain and was &C
companied by less cold.
Although the season has been quite
backward it was not expected that
Sherman county would be covered with
blanket Of snow at this time Of year.
The settlers say that 50 big q snow as
this has not been Witnessed In this coun-
try since 1891, when on the End Of May
foot Of snow fell. That was the year
Of the record breaking wheat crop for
Sherman county, and the people say
that If TINS untimely big snow means the
same thing it did in 1891 they are will
ing TO suffer a blanket snow each year.
The most unfavOrab bic condition Of the
storm was the low temperature. The
mercury hung below freezing during the
storm, and the fruit blossoms have
doubtless been killed. The wheat and
other small grain is so small that it has
perhaps received but little damage.
Preparations were made at the rail-
road yards 70 clear the cuts Of snow, but
no difficulty was encountered by trains.
Cattle had to be shattered and fed
where the owner was able to do 50, but
no losses have been heard Of during the
storm.
/ This section is not alone in the ex.
Perience Of this storm. Draw a line on
the map from Duluth, Mimi, to Dodge
City, Kan, and west OF this line to the
Rocky Mountains this great snow storm
and blizzard ragged. In all probability
the storm reached into the panhandle oil
Texas and swept all New Mexico east Ol
the mountains. While there has been Z
heavy loss in the fruit crop. and probably
stock losses, this wetting viii be a great
benefit to wheat and other small grain,
if the freeze was not too hard.
This storm may insure early and
copious rains, which will be the mean
Of good crops OF cereals Of all kinds II

COVE RNMENT''s CASE.
Brief Filed in the Appea! Of the North.
ern Securities Action From the
Circuit Court.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The brief Of the
government in the case of the Northern
Securities company and others against the
United States, IN appeal from the de-
cision of the circuit court for the district
Of Minnesota, was filed today. The docu-
ment was prepared by Attorney General
Knox n Assistant Attorney General
Day, and covers $50 printed pages. After
stating that the bill in the case was origi-
nally brought by the government to re-
strain violation of the antitrust low by
the Securities company in the consolida-
ton of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railroads, and that the decision
of the court below was favorable to the
contention of the United States, the brief
enters into specifications as to the reasons
for the action. 4
The supreme court today began hear
ing arguments in the case Of the
Northern Securities company, y. J..
Hill, j.. Pierpont Morgan and others,
against the United States, on appeal
from the district court Of Minnesota.
The decision was that: the purchase Of
the greater share of the stock of the
two companies constituted a merger,
and was contrary to the Sherman anti
trust law, and the case involved the
community of interests principle. The
court room was crowded inside and
outside the bar. Attorney General
Knox was present with an array OF
assistants, while the opposition was
represented by a long list Of distin-
guished counsel, including former At
torney General Griggs and John G..
Johnson of Philadelahla. Justice
Brown was the only member of the
court not present.
Joh G. johnson, representing. the Sc
curities company, made theffirst argu-
ment. He announced the three rail-
ways ana the securities company de-
sired to be heard by their counsel,
while it was stated for the government
speak. Mr.. johnson said the purpose
of the company in acquiring the stock
of the railroads had been, not to pre-
vent competition, but to conserve the
interests of their w property. and
commended that in holding the stock 1t
had theSright to control it.

A BOLD HOLD UP.
Hishwaymen Relieve Fred Gabus O
Watch and Much Money.

Watch n Much Money.
ETH City, S.. D., Dec. 16~.-TIighway
robbers held up Fred Gabus, who tiav-.
els for the Adams-Graham company of
Deadwood, and relieved him of 500 in
money and his watch.
The robbery took place on Main
street during the evening and he was
confronted by two men with their
faces partially masked, who showed
3t~ix-shooters into his face and demand
cd that he throw up his hands. Mr..
eg4zaEnsp put his hands up and one of the
men then told him that If he would
keep still he would not be hurt. They
proceeded leisurely to go through his
pockets and extracted what he had
about him. In taking his money they
removed a number Of letters and ether
papers
After getting his money and watch
the highway men crdered Mr.. Gabus
to move on. They remained in their
positions until he had gone a. block or
such al natter then they made off up,
one of the alleys. Mr.. Gabus and
others afterwards visited the scene of
the robbery and found some OF the
letters and papers that had been re-
moved from his pockets. These had
evidently been considered OF no value
by the robbers and discarded.
The uncertain light In the locality
prevented MI. Gabus from obtaining q
definite idea Us to the appearance OF
TWO men or the II in which
they were disguised. He Is. however,
positive that they had something over
their faces. There Isl no means Of tell
ing Wlothe persons We're that held him
up and no arrests have been made or
any clue obtained that might lead to
IN arrest.
