Elure OF this city recently shipped fifty
head of thoroughbred Shorthorn cattle
10 Beresford, s.. D., to be sold at auc-

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Young Woman Found Dead at the
Foot of An Airshaft.

New York, Dec. pa young wonl-
an bearing many evidences of pros
perity was found dead Wednesday
night at the foot of an airshaft in a
tenement house, in Delaney street
The police are undecided whether her
death was the result of a crime or ac-
cident.
She lay with her head bent under
her body and her neck is thought to
have been broken. She was about 90
years of age and well dressed. She
wore plain gold wedding ring mark
ed IL. B, to c. c., April 10, 1900"
The police are looking for a man
who was seen in the hallway into
which the airshaft opens, and who,
when asked his business there, replied
that he was an inspector of the build

MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Dead Body of An Infant Found Sus-
pended From Suspension Bridge.

Cincinnati, Dec. 20. = Suspended
from thin iron girder below the foot
walk Of the suspension bridge con-
meet Cincinnati and Covington, the
body of male child, about two
months old, was found Wednesday
morning by Daniel Fordyce, foreman
of the bridge. How many hours the
body had been hanging, exposed to the
zero winds that swept along the Ohio
river is not known, but the frail little
figure, when found, was frozen, and
even the scant clothing on it was stiff
It is believed the chIld's body first
struck against the iron railing of the
bridge, on being tossed over, the gull
ty person expecting to conceal the
deed by the waters carrying away the
body. Instead however, it struck on
an iron girder five feet below the foot
walk, and, catching under the chin,
hung for hours. Coroner Tarvin, of
CovingtOn, does not accept without
question the theory of murder. He
says the child had been suffering from
bowel complaint, and from conditions
thinks that the strange child was dead
before the attempt to throw the body
into the river was made, either be-
cause they were not in position to let
1t become known there was such
child, or were too poor to provide
burial

SILVER BULLION SCARCE.
All That Is Available in the Country
Has Been Exhausted.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2S.-John H. Lam
dis, superintendent of the United
States mint here, announced Tuesday
that the available silver bullion of the
country has been exhausted. Unless
congress takes prompt action to re-
lieVe the situation by authorizing the
purchase Of more silver bullion for
coming purposes or by accepting a
suggested temporary remedy, he said,
commerce will be greatly hampered
next year as a result of a $4,000, 900
shortage in small silver coin. The
prevailing conditions of the countrY's
collateral also entails wholesale dis
charge of mint employees to take effect
on January l and unless relief is OBJ
tained from congress, the regular mint
force will be cut down to a nominal
number within the next few months.

ToFoREieN LANDS.
international Money Orders Issued in
New York For the Holidays.

New York, Dec. 29.-The United
States played Santa Claus to the world
at large, according to reports secured
from General Superintendent Joseph
Elliott, of the money order division
of the New York post Office From De
cember 1 to December "a, the night
before Christmas, no less than 334 ,0St
international orders were forwarded
to other lands from this city, and these
orders called for 1856 ,62S.9O.
''The remittances," said Mr.. Eli
oft, Wednesday, "were the largest in
the history of the post office. The fig
ures show an unusual distribution al
So For instance, Italy came second
in the list of benefciaries, in point of
money received and a good first in
the amount of individual orders.
Great Britain, as a matter OF
course, got more money and more or
ders, but averaging the amount of the
separate orders it is seen that the
British recipients got but little more
than SO piece. The Italian orders
show an average of more than $50
each.
Portugal had the smallest average.
The average of the orders forwarded
TO that country was So. In making
the. holiday remittances $4,117,4

the buying a tidy amount was saved
for Uncle Sam. International money
orders are obtained from the post of.

A TERRIBLE STORM.
One of the Severest in Reccrt Years
Ragged in West ard Southwest.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-One of the most
severe storms of recent years has rag
ed throughout the territory lying be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
great lakes since early Tuesday morn
ing and has caused much trouble to
street car companies, railroads and
telegraph companies.
The latter were the greater suffer-
ers, for the blizzard which swept
through the west and northwest dur
ing the last "a hours was preceded by
heavy fog and drizzling rain which
made the wires almost unworkable.
The intense cold and terrific gale that
followed close upon the fog, coated the
wires with ice and later in the day
threw poles to the ground, crippling
the companies badly. Railroad trains
were badly delayed all through the
west, some of them being "a hours
late. Street car traffic in all the cities
of the west and northwest was prac-
tically at a standstill at some time dur
ing the day.
The storm reached westward from
st. Paul until it covered almost the
entire northwest and from the Dako-
tas, Eastern Montana, Wyoming,
Northern Michigan and Wisconsin the
story was the same from all points.
The wires were down in all directions,
the snow was falling in dense volumes
and driven by a high northwest gale
was filling the streets and railroad
cuts.
In its extent the storm was the most
widespread of any during the last Is
years. Counting the fog as a COM
ponent part of the storm, it stretched
clear from the Rocky mountains to
New York and from Winnipeg to New
Orleans.
The fatalities reported as due to the
storm were four men killed, three in
this city and one at Muncie, Ind.
The storm struck Chicago shortly
after noon and increased with great
rapidity until it had assumed hurri--
cane violence at $50 o'clock, when
the wind tore through the downtown
streets at the rate of 70 miles an hour.
1t fell away after that and by z o'clock
had dropped to so miles an hour,
where it remained throughout the
night, with occasional gusts that
would howl through the streets with
the force of a cyclone, tearing down
signs, smashing in plate glass win
dows and in many sections of the
downtown district hurting pedestrians
from their feet and overturning light
delivery wagons
Between noon and o'clock in the
evening the mercury dropped from 81
to II and was still falling.
The late reports from Wisconsin are
that the storm was the most severe
ever known in that section of the coun-
try. Damage in the city of Madison
is already estimated at 100000. In
Indiana the damage done by the storm
was especially heavy in the oil fields.
The loss on derricks alone in the
neighborhood Of Muncie is placed at
100000 and at $4,000 around Port
land
