Over Two Feet Of Snow Fell in
the Northwest.

Helena. Mont, April 9.-An April
blizzard. bringing with it from to
21a feet of snow and sleet, has prac-
ticalIs- isolated western Minnesota and
a large section of North Dakota The
storm which ragged with great fury
from Thursday continuing until late
yesterday afternoon, not only complete
" blockaded the railroads with huge
drifts, but so prostrated the telegraph
service that it probably win be two
weeks before it is restored. The sec
tion of the country around Fargo, N
D., is shut out from all communication.
Before the single wire working west
failed last night it was learned that 30
inches Of snow had fallen at Fargo
and that not only the main lines of the
railroads, but all the branches were
tied up tight. From Mapleton, Mimi,
to Staples, Mimi, a distance of about
10 miles, it was estimated that from
three to four hundred telegraph poles
had been blown down or undermined
by water. Snow plOWs are out in all
directions and it is hoped to get the
main lines clear within a few hours.

dead but a good rain will bring it out
in good shape. Then no matter how
we'll it may look it is not absolutely

we have had rain. are that the wheat
crop in Thomas county will be pretty
good again this year

Secretary Hutchins of the Topeka
Retail GrOcers' association has re-
voked the order sent out a few days
ago that all of the grocers and meat
shops must close on Sunday. There
is an ordinance on the statute books,
under which the action was taken sew
eral days ago. Chief McCollum was
the inspiring genius of that move.
Mayor Bergundthal said that he knew
nothing about the matter, had not
given NIcCollum any orders one way
or the other. and was not very much
in favor himself Of closing them on
Sunday
McCollum and Hutchins. however,
hatched up a plan whereby to shut
them up. Mr. Hutchins sent out no
tices last Saturday and they had the
backing of the police chief This
morning Mr.. Hutchins announced
that he was not going to close them
up. A little later Chief NcCollum
called uD on the telephone and an
nounced that he would arrest every
butcher and grocer who kept open on
Sunday. When informed that Mr
Hutchins had changed he seemed
pleased. and announced: "All right
I'm satisfied. I don't want to get
into the mix-up."
