Wires Down and Trains Delayed
Throughout Prussia.

Berlin. April 2o.-The SO hour snow
storm over middle Europe ceased today
at daylight The snow is two inches
deep in Berlin, increasing to yard
deep in the Hartz highlands. Snow lies
deep in east Prussia and Poland, where
wires are down and trains delayed. The
temperate in most parts of Germany
is barely at freezing point so that the
damage to the fruit crops may not be
SO serious as at first supposed. The
snow is melting rapidly and the
streams are already flooding. The gov
eminent has issued notices that tele-
graphic communication with Russia is
interrupted and that the lines commun-
icating with Pomerania. Silesia and
eastward of Berlin are also down.

MUSIC AND MATRIMONY
Well Blended in the Theodore
Thomas Engagement.

Music and matrimony win soon be in
sweet accord among the soloists who
are to appear in the May musical fes-
tival at the auditorium, for very soon
they are practically all to be married to
somebody or other.
The charming fad was instituted by
Miss Mabelle Crawford, the contralto.
who, on April s. was very quietly and
unostentatiously married at her home
in Chicago. the other party to the pro-
ceeding being a wealthy resident of
Omaha.
Not to be outdone in this, ~or any
other nation on EARTH" as Bryan says,
Glen Hall went straightway and en-
gagged himself to Miss Eames, daugh-
ter of partner of Marshall Field. the
millionaire merchant of Chicago.
Upon this. Alfred Williams. lin the
full pride of his magnificent manhood, .
to quote the adora bic Miss Laura Jean
Libby. FASTENED out among the fair
ones and made preliminary arrange
ments for wedding a perfectly lovely
Galesburg girl.
The remaining soloists are still out of
commission. but they are said to be
busy with NEGOTIATIONS of the most de-
lightful character and all expect to have
concluded deals advantageous and full
OF promise before the June roses have
shed their petals.

ON TRACK OF FRAUD.
Great Bond Attorneys Find Deeds Be-
lieved to Be Forged.

Information has come to the office of the
secretary Of state which indicates that
some one has been acting fraudulently as
a notary public in making false deeds to
real estate and mortgages. The informa-
ton comes in a query from Russell d
Russell, attorneys at Great Bend They
write to inquire if a notarial commission
was ever issued to c. A. Barr of Ellsworth
county, to expire April g. 1905 They say
that a real estate transaction involving a
deed and mortgage on which $500 was Dor
roWed is mixed up in the affair and the
circumstances point to a forgery and swim
die.
1.-The instruments purport to be acknowl-
edged BY or before c. A Barr, a notary
public as aforesaid" the letter continues.
IF there is no such commission Of record
with you then clearly the whole thing IS
a swindle If you have such a record II
viii bring relief to several parties to learn
the facts and to be apprised of the post
office address of Mr. Barr
There is no such commission as the one
mentioned on record in the office Of the
secretary of state, so it looks as though
a fraud had been committed.

CREATOR
Praise your Maker while you live,
Everything to US he gives
Milk, cream bread and butter,
Tomato potato, honey and sugar.
All are fond of salt and pepper,
OF the washer and the wringer,
Radish, lettuce, pea and sulphur,
Wick. oil, lamp and burner
MnIet. cane. flax and clover.
Sand lime brick and mortar.
Heart. Stomach, brain and liver,
Cherry, apple peach and pear,
Nose mouth head and hair.
