A SEVERE
BLIZZARD
RACED THROUGH TERRITORY LYn
ING BETWEEN ROCKY NOUN
TAINS AND GREAT LAKES.
RAILROADS AND TELEGRAPH
LINES SEVERELY DAMAGED
Street Railways in the Cities of Kan.
saS, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri
Forced to Suspend Operations
Because of Snow Drifts.

Chicago Dec. 2S.-One of the most.
severe storms of recent years has
ragged through the territory lying be
tween the Rocky Mountains and the
Great Lakes since early Tuesday
morning and caused much trouble to.
street cars, railroads and telegraph
companies.
The latter were the greatest suffer
erers, for the blizzard which swept
through the west and northwest dur
ing the last "a hours was preceded by
a heavy fog and drizzling rain which
made the wires almost unworkable.
Railroad trains were badly delayed all
through the west.
In its extent the storm was the most
widespread of any during the last 10.
years. Counting the fog as a compo-
nent 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 three men
killed.
At 10 o'clock last night the storm
was reported as subsidng at Kansas
City and at other points on north
and south line from that city.
The storm extended from the middle
of Missouri as far south as Indian
Territory and was accompanied by
high winds and snow which on the
level would have been about one foot
in depth. 1t was drifted so badly by
the gale, however, that in nearly all
the cities of Nebraska, Kansas and
western Missouri street car traffic
was at q StaudStill bV noon
The storm reached eastern Missouri
by noon and the temperature in st.
Louis went down 20 degrees in two,
hours, while the wind piled the snow
up in the streets in great drifts.
At Omaha and Des MOines similar
conditions were reported. All through
western Iowa the storm ragged with
great fury. In the northwest the storm
was even more violent than in Mis-
souri, and Iowa.
The storm struck Chicago shortly
after noon and increased until it had
assumed hurricane violence at $3.50
o'clock, when the wind tore through
the streets at the rate of 70 miles an
hour. 1t fell away after that and by
o'clock had dropped to so miles an
hour, where it remained through the
night, with occasional gusts that
would bawl through the streets with
the force of a cyclone. tearing down
signs, smashing in plate glass win
dows and in many sections of the
down town district hurting pedestrians
from their feet and overturning
wagons.
Reports from Wisconsin are that
the storm was the most severe ever
known in that section of the country.
Damage in the city of Madison is esti-
mated at 100000.
In Indiana the damage was especi-
ally heavy in the oil fields, where fully
500 derricks were blown down and all
operations suspended.

Both Must Hang.

Harrisburg. Pa, Dec. 29.-Gov. Pen
nypacker has fixed February 16 for
the execution of Mrs. Kate Edwards,
the Berks county murderess, and her
negro accomplice, Samuel Greason.
The woman's husband, John Edwards,
was murdered nearly four years ago.
The case has been before the pardon
board repeatedly and was also before
the supreme court. The legislature
passed a bill at the last session which
was intended to apply to this case,
which permitted the courts to review
newly discovered evidence on appli-
cation for new trials in murder cases.
Every effort, however, to free either
the woman or her accomplice failed.

A Queer Checker Match.

New York, Dec. 30.-Two Scotch

United States. Between them they

if either had that amount he would be
admitted, otherwise both would be re-
fused admission. They are members
of a party of Is converts to the mis-
sionaries of the Holy Ghost and Us So
ciety and they are bound for Shiloh
Hill, Me-, the headquarters of the sect.
All members of the party will be re
turned to Glasgow on Saturday who
cannot produce $25.

THEY CAN DO WITHOUT HIM
The Presidential Inauguration Will
Take Place Despite Absence
of Vardeman.

1t is announced from New Orleans
that Gov Vardaman, of Mississippi. has
decided not to accept the invitation to
attend the Inauguration of the president
his absence being intended as "a rebuke
to President Roosevelt
1t may mitigate the modification of
the president at the "rebuke," remarks
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. to reflect
that the invitation Of the fiery governor
was purely perfunctory, the same invi-
tation being issued as a matter of GUS
tom to all governors of states as we'll as
to other persons in high official posi-
tions, and President Roosevelt himself
had nothing to 90 with the sending Of the
customary missives. There are other
governors who will fail to put in an ap-
pearance, for reasons of convenience,
and their absence will neither be in
tended nor will be construed as a snub
to the president. In fact, nobody cares
probably, where Gov. Nardaman is or
what he is doing when the quadrennial
high jinks" are going on at Washing
ton. He will never be missed.
The Vardamans, the Tillmans and the
others of their kind who make noisy nui-
sances of themselves represent only a
limited class of the southern people, but
they do some mischief because that sort
is not so widely understood in the north
as it might be. They have been sternIy
rebuked by the better class of newspa-
pers in the south for their rabd non
sense. They keep to the front only be-
cause certain element is in accord with
their radical views, while larger num-
Der regards their utterances as mere
vaporings. but support them for other
reasons. 1t should be remembered that
the success of noisy demagogues has not
been confined to the south.

SOUTH AND DEMOCRACY.
a Voice Crying in the Wilderness
Puts UP a Howl Against
Wall Street.

The Hon. Thomas f. Watson, in a
speech at Charlottesville Ga. lately,
declared that the democratic party now
exists only to promote the same sys-
TEN of class legislation for which the
republican party stands" and to fight
sham battles"
On this theory Mr. Watson predicted
that the Parker-Belmont-
German combine" while apparently
fighting Bryanism will nominate Bry
an in 1908, knowing that Bryan will
be defeated worse than Parker was"
Therefore Mr.. Watson exhorts the
south to cut loose from the democracy
on the ground that, until it does so,
the grip of Wall street on the party
can never be broken, nor an effective
opposition organized to "priviIeged
class legislation and corporate greed"
OF course, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, Mr. Watson has lost all hope
that the democracy will ever be able
to do what ne thinks ought to be done.
He regards himself, sincerely enough,
as a voice crying in the wilderness to
the plain people to come out OF bond
age and achieve their freedom. The
trouble with Mr. Watsons view Of the
eastern democratic leaders is that il
ascribes to them more than human
wisdom and less than human fear.
Mr.. Bryan will undoubtedly en-
deavor to rally the democracy upon a
platform of downright radicalism. He
will do so because, wholly aside from
any question of sincerity, Mr.. Bryan is
a practical politician, and knows that
in semisOcialism is the democracy's
only hope. But the eastern democrats
are also practical politicians, and they
will never accept Mr.. Bryan on any
such platform.
The eastern democrats know-they
learned it again in the last campaign
that Mr. Bryan does not fight sham
battles. Whether he leads or follows,
Mr.. Bryans fighting is always real,
because he is a practical politician,
and knows that only by real fighting
can victory be won. The eastern dem
Ocrats might be willing to tolerate d
sham battle, but they know that Mr.
Bryan would make it a real one. And
he might win. That would be their
fear Practical men do not give the
ideas they most fear a chance to win
on the chance that they may lose
From doing that the eastern demo-
Gratis would be restrained by just ordi-
nary human fear.
Yet, while the theory on which Mr.
Watson advises the south to- cut loose
from the democracy is contrary to the
facts of human nature, his advice is
good in itself. Until q considerable
number of southern white men do cut
loose from the democratic party, learn
to stand on their feet and think for
themselves in politics, the south will
continue to be mere backwater of
the stream Of American political life

GOV. ALVA ADAMS PETITION.
He Asks the Supreme Court to Appoint
a Committee to Open All the Ballot
Boxes in Denver and Report as to
the Alleged Frauds.

Denver, Col, Dec. 29.-Attorneys
Charles S. Thomas and Samuel w.
Belford filed a petition in the supreme
court yesterday on behalf of Alva
Adams, the democratic governor-elect,
asking that either the court or COM
mission to be appointed by the court
shall open all OF the PA ballot-boxes
used in Denver at the late election and
make a thorough examination of their
contents.
Gov. Adams petition charges that
certain evilly disposed persons are
using the supreme court as a cloak
under which they may nullify the will
of the people as constitutiOnally eX-
pressed at the polls. The petition in
sists that, however extensive the
frauds perpetrated, the legal voters
have a constitutional right to have
their ballots counted and to that end
every ballot-box in the city of Denver
should be opened and scrutinized.

BILE comes from recent change in the
canons of the church regarding the
appointment of a court of that nature.
