Blizzard in Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 13.-The storm
that set in several days ago has as :
sumed the proportions of blizzard
thruout southern and western Wyom-
ing, and stock men who are ranging
herds and hocks in regions where there
is little feed are now greatly alarmed.
In the western portions of the state
snow has fallen to a great depth, blu.
from Evanston east to the Nebraska
line the snow fall has gradually DIM
inished. High winds have accompanied
the storm and the snow has piled up in
railroad cuts, delaying traffic. The
weather has been bitter cold and the
Indians are fearing colder weather. In
the Red desert country, between Raw
Inns and Evanston, which is the most
favored of all the winter ranges in the
state. sheep are dying, the grass being
covered and the supply of sage brush
short. Cattle are in poor condition. ow-
ing to the long series of severe storms.
and in sections where there is no hay to
feed. the losses will be large.

Tendency of The Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one Of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men hove to contend with,
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from a cold or from an
attack of influenza fgrippe), and it has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy ras been used dur
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grippe in recent years. and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until 1t is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold Is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

Radical Measure May Be Adopt
ed to Compel Shippers to
Unload Quickly
TERMINAL FACILITIES NEEDED
Freight Car Equipment Increased 400
Per Cent in the Last Few Years, But
the Terminal Facilities Are Poor
Combination of the Railway Men
Against the Goulds.

Chicago, Feb. 13.--Radical measures
are being considered by the general
managers of Chicago railroads to COM
pei shippers to accept quick delivery
of freight and unload cars promptly
Among the measures being considered
is general notice thet If freight is not
taken out of cars within twenty-four
hours the cars will be taken to the
Stickney yards and the shipments
stored there subject to the owners
orders.
Attention is called to the fact that,
while freight car equipment has been
increased 400 per cent in the last few
years and traffic has increased almost
as pllenomenally, the terminal facilities
o, the railroads have not been in
creased more than per cent The ac-
QUESTION of additional terminal facili-
ties in large cities is becoming more
and more difficult. and the only remedy
is to keep the freight moving.
Recent developments in the railroad
world have led to the belief that a
combination of the men who control
the majority of the great systems in the
country has been formed for the pur-
pose of combating the growing power
of the Goulds. This theory has been
advanced to account for several moves
which have recently been made result
ing in alliances which would have been
pronounced Impossible one year ago.

road makes his statement semi official
Mr. Fox is now connected with the Sc

fact that the proposed change of the
capital from Pierre to Mitchell would
suggest Chamberlain as the point =

extension will be built from Evarts?'
Mr.. Fox was asked.

that the first line to cross the reserva-
ton will be built from Eyarts. MI

While Mr.. Fox said he knew moth

from other sources that President
Earring of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad believes the Evarts route IL
the Hills the most practicable, while
Roswell Miller, chairman OF the board
of directors, has inclined to Chamber

the coal famine is past all dead
freight will be barred on Sundays.
The superintendents are instructed
TO arrange matters so that the greatest
possible number of engine and freight
train crews shall be at their home sta
lions hy Sunday morning, or Sunday
noon at the latest. Ii this can be ac-
eomplished by starting the crews out at
midnight the superintendent are m
structed to do SO. IL is further pro-
vided that all switehnlen and yard
crews. except those necessary to move
the perishable freight, shall be given
their time between a. m. and p M
on Sundays.
The changes contemplated by the
order are radical. L. is the custom
with railroads to make Sunday day
for general cleaning UP in freight mat
tiers. On that day all way freight crews,
all available suburban passenger power
and every available employe and equip
ment OH the entire system are pressed
into service with a view to getting all
DELAYED freight to destination. The
railroad has known no Sunday except
one of extra toll and hardship.
Now this is to be changed on the
Northwestern system. and the Sunday
at home witt, his family and friends
will be the joyous prospect which the
Northwestern employe will look ror-
ward to thru Il week Of nard work. The
officials were moved to the innovation
by the belief that the stimulus of one
days rest will result in a greater
amount of freight being handled in six
days than is now handled in seven. They
are also of the opinion that the moral
effect OF a Sunday at home will raise
the standard of efficiency and make
better men of their employees.

Details of Northwestern's Project to
Abandon Sunday Freights.

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 13.-Thousands of
employees of the Northwestern railway
will now spend their Sundays at home.
Freight Agent Snyder this morning re-
ceived advices from the general offices
relative to the new order of things.
For the first time since the organiza-
ton of the Northwestern road fifty
years ago not a ton of dead freight, :"
except coal, will be moved on Sunday,
and If the plan is success this will be
the condition each succeeding Sunday
hereafter The management has also
expressed the hope that the Northwest
ern's example will be followed by other
systems, so that the reform may spread
ito all the railroads.
The order issued by the Northwest
ern instructs all division superintend-
ents to continue the movement of
freight to the handling of live stock,
meat and perishable shipments. The
sole exception is in favor OF coal and
fuel of all kinds and the necessary coal
ears to keep the mines supplied. When
