at this time Of the year SEEM to be an.
anniversary of the fearful blizzard that
swept this country in the winter of
1873, when there was such fearful loss

people of the state were not in shape
to withstand the cold then as they are
now and the stock was not so we'll

at that time tellstories Of that winter that
seem almost i'm probable in the lightofthe
winters that have come and gone since
that time, however the present is bad
enough for all concerned.

reins in that city when the place was in
worse condition than at present and
brought it up to proper level and there

wisdom of having a fearless man at the
head OF affairs. The city has large
and increasing debt that it is hoped he
will be able to eradicate. s..
