Chicago, Feb. 1S.-One of the cold
est waves of the year struck Chicago
yesterday The heavy snow storm OF
Friday and Saturday has been fol-
lowed by intense cold and six inches
of snow on the ground adds to the
rieors of the cold snap and impedes
traffic.
The entire country is swept by
wintry storms of unusual severity.
Snow has fallen as far south as Louis
lana and Texas and the temperature
has tumbled to a point that has
brought on much suffering in the
usually mild climate. Along the At
lantic seaboard the flercest gale in
some time is playing havoc with ship
ping interests from Key West to
Maine. In the West and Northwest
the snow has drifted to such q depth
and the cold is 80 intense that rail-
road trains are stalled and cattle and
sheep are g

1t was reported from Bucklin. Kan,
that the west-bound Golden State linn
tied on the Rock Island road and two
freight trains were in drifts between
there and Hutchinson, and the east
bound limited was also stalled near
there.
In Chicago the drop in the tempera'
ture to near the zero mark has caused
much suffering among the poor. Loss
of life attending the storm, however.
was less than anticipated, but one per-
son, so far as known, having sue
cumbed. An unidentified man was
found frozen in snow drift in the
down town district.
The heaviest snow storm of the
winter struck the Ohio valley yester.
day. Following the heavy rains OF
Saturday and Sunday and sleet
storm Sunday night, snow began fall

A serious flood is. threatened in
Southern and Western Indiana. Tho
heavy rains Of Saturday and Sunday
have started the Wabash river on 4
rampage and there is fear that one OF
the worst floods in years will occur in
the Vicinity of Vincennes.
Rain, snow and sleet, combined in
many places with high winds, pre-
vailed throughout the South last night.
AS a result railroad traffic is delayed,
while in a number of cities the street

Amendments.
Washington, Feb. 18. - The senate
committee on judiciary yesterday con-

Wide-Open Regime.
Pollock, S. D., Feb. 4.-Citizens are
beginning to complain because this
place, which is one Of the compaEa-
lively new towns of South Dakota. has
been run thus far on "wide-open"
policy. The result is that gambling
and other reminders of frontier days
are in flourishing condition. The
people are becoming tired of this con.
dition of things, and If mutterings in.
dicate anything it is probable that
steps will soon be taken to rid the
community Of the disreputable ele.
ment in order that Pollock may be.
come a law-abiding town.

1T STILL SPREADS WILL IS PROBATED
Bulk of FIandrau Estate Left to
Widow.

'In the name of the great first cause,
whoever or whatever that may be, 1,
Charles E. Flandrau, of the city of st.
Paul, in the state of Minnesota, and OF
sound mind and memory, do hereby de-
clare this to be my last will and testa-
ment."
This is the language with which the
late Judge Flandrau prefaces his last
will, which was filed for record in the
probate court yesterday. The will was
made April q, 1896. being witnessed
by Fftzhugh Burns and Joseph D. Hal
pin. Its brevity is characteristic of the
late jurist, there being but one short
page of the document.
The value of the estate left by Judge
Flandrau is given as $4,000, of which
$4,000 is personal property, but the
estate Is believed to be of much greater
value.
After bequeathing $4,000 to his wild
owed daughter. Mrs. Martha NJ f.
Slemes, the will provides that the bal
ance of the estate shall go to the wild
ow, Rebecca B. Flandrau, there being
no conditions attached whatever. The
widow is also named as eXecutrix Of
the estate.
A married daughter and the sons are
not provided for in the will, but this
is explained In the testator's state
ment that his daughter is married and
we'll cared for, and that his sons are
able to care for themselves.

So far as routine work is concerned,
the grand jury will have but little TO
do. There are less than a dozen tjail
cases" to be considered, and unless
some outside work is taken up the
session of the jury promises to be a
brief one.
May investigate Blind Pigs.
1t has been intimated for some time
about the court house that one of the
| matters which the coming grand jury
| will be asked to thoroughly investi-
| gate will be that of blind pigs" which
are alleged to exist in the Hamline dis
trict. 1t is also stated that County At
torney Kane will ask the jurors to look
into the charges made by some of
the county commissioners to the effect
that a number of blind pigs" are be-
ing conducted at various points
throughout the county, especially at
some of the lakes.
The wine rooms, it is said, will not
be bothered by the grand jury unless
some of the members of that body de-
sire to take up the matter themselves.
The failure to secure convictions in
indictments returned by preceding
grand juries against alleged violators
of the wine room law is given as a
| reason for not taking these cases up
again.
The last grand jury in its final re-
| port made some strong recommends
tons regarding the present smallpox
! hospital, and since nothing has been
| done to relieve the situation it is more
! than probable that the new jury will
look into the matter again.

GIVES UP OFFICE
Secretary McNamee, of School
Board, Too Iii to Work.

Edward McNamee has resigned the
position of secretary of the board of
school inspectors on account of i'll
health. The resigna ton was placed in
the hands of O. E. Holman, president
of the board, yesterday afternoon, and
will be acted upon at the special meet
ing to be held Friday afternoon, at
which time it is expected that a sue
cessor to Mr.. McNamee will be ap-
pointed.
Mr.. McNamee was elected secretary
early last May, to assume the duties of
the office July /, upon the retirement of
James P. Healy. Mr.. McNamee had
for some years been in ill health and
before July l had found it necessary
to go to a hospital for a surgical OPP
Grafton, SO when that date arrived he
was unable to enter upon his work.
With the consent of the board, Octave
Savard, one of the board members,
was deputiZed by Mr.. McNamee as
secretary for one month.
Within few weeks Mr.. McNamee
returned to the city apparently much
improved in health. He took UP the
work of the secretary's office Aug. 1
and for a time continued to gain in
strength; but recently his case again
assumed an unfavorable aspect and he
is now convinced that he cannot so far
recover as to engage in active work.
He has been i'll for some days and I'M
able to leave his home.
1t has been customary for the board
to elect its secretary at the first meet
ing in March, but at that time this year
no agreement could be reached among
the members, and James P. Healy, who
had held the Office for a number of
years, was requested to remain until
July l.
When it was announced that Mr..
Healy had resigned there were several
candidates for the Office and some ac-
tive campaigning ensued, but at the
present time 1t is doubtful if any of
the former aspirants would re-enter
the field. with the exception, perhaps,
Of Mr.. Savard.
At the time of the former vacancy
Mr.. Savard said that would accept the
office, and he probably will be appoint
ed at the meeting Friday.

WILL PUT ITSFFFD
WIRES UNDERGROUND
Street Railway Begins Work of
Burylng ALI Power Distrl-
button Lines.

The street railway company will put
ali its heavy feed wires in the bust
ness district of the city underground
The work was commenced Monday and
will be continued until every cable now
hanging to pole is lowered.
The first of the wires to go down
are those on Seventh street, from Wa
basha to Broadway, and men are now
engaged in laying the conduits. Next
will come Wabasha street. and after
that Fifth, Fourth and other streets in
the district on which the company has
wires.
From the new power house which the
company is preparing to erect at Col
iese avenue and Wabasha streets addi-
tional power will be distributed, and
this is the reason for the change. This
will necessitate more and heavier feed
wires. and as it is hardly likely that
the city would permit this the compa-
ny decided to put its feeds under
ground
In order to carry the high voltage
current which is to be transmitted
from Minneapolis to the new power
house the company has already laid a
conduit on University avenue through
to the station in the Mill City. This
will be continued down Wabasha street
to the College avenue power house.
1t is estimated that the conduit sys-
tenn which the company is putting in
will call for an expenditure of nearly
$50, 900

Smallpox Report Shows %
Cases in Past Week.


Smallpox returns to the state board
Of health for the week ending Sept. 16,
shows that the contagion is still active,
twenty three new cases being reported,
with no deaths in that period. The
new cases are distributed throughout
the state as follows: In Emily town
ship, Crow Wing county, 9; Amherst
township, Fillmore county, g.; st. Au-
gusta township, Stearns county, s.;
township 50, range 20, St. Louis county,
2; Cambridge township, Isanti coun-
ty, 1.
Besides the cases already enumerated
reports have just been received Of for
ty-five old cases not previously report
ed Five of these cases were in the
city of Waseca, and the failure to re-
port them when they should have been
reported is believed to have been due
to carelessness rather than intent to
suppress the fact that the disease exist
ed at that place.
The unreported cases in st. Augusta
township, forty in number, cover pc
riod of many months, and their discoV-
cry is the result of an investigation re-
Gently made by DR.. Bracken, secretary
of the state board. From reports which
came to the office Of the board In this
city DR.. Bracken had reason to believe
that there was some laxity or neglect
III I0dI part Oh the SloiIS III lIlC CtlIOl &c
ment of the quarantine laws, and while
in that vicinity about two weeks ago
he made inquiry. He found that there
had been been in different parts of ST
Augusta township at least forty, and
perhaps more, cases of mild but I'M
mistakable form of smallpox that had
never been reported to the proper au-
thorities. These cases he found had
occurred chiefly among the farmers
and from what could be learned it is
believed that the failure to report them
was due in a large measure to ignor-
ance of the character of the disease. II
is evident, however. that in some in
stances the nature Of the disease was
known and that knowledge was sup
pressed to avoid quarantine. DR.. Bracken
has instructed the local health authori-
ties to be more vigilant in future and
more careful as to reporting contagious
diseases to the state board.

GRAND JURY WILL PASS
ON CHRIS HAAG' S CASE
Is Held by Municipal Court for kirch-
offs Death.

Chris Haag, charged with causing the
death of Otto Kirchof during a row at
Kent and Lafond streets, on Sept. S,
was given a preliminary examination
before Judge Finehout in the municipal
court yesterday morning.
The witnesses, Charles Poferi, Frank
Poferl, John Downs and Fred Kirchoff
the latter brother of the boy who was
killed, repeated the testimony given at
the inquest. Otto. Kickoff, they say,
was angered at some remarks made to
him by number of boys, of whom
Haag was one. When Kirchoff chased
them one of them threw a stone which
struck Kirchoff on the head, causing
his death a few moments later. 1t is
charged that Haag is the one who
threw the stone, although none of the
witnesses yesterday were positive.
They said, however, that the one who
threw the stone was about the same
size as Haag. They had heard, they
said, that Haag had admitted throwing
the stone, but none Of them heard him
make the admission.
AT the conclusion Of the hearing the
court held Haags to the grand jury,
which will meet the first week in Octo-
Der. Haag has been out for some days
on $1,000 bail, and this was continued
yesterday.
