FRIDAYS SNOW STORM.
One Of the Most Severe Of the Winter
Visited Augusta Friday.

One of the most severe snow storms
of this winter. which has hitherto sur
passed long standing records for mild
ness and lack of snow visited this sec
ton Friday and it was one of the big
gest since last year. and as far reach
ing in effect as many Of the bliZZards
that fell to our lot, in l304-5. The
snow began first to descend about 3 a.
NJ. in light and ast-melting flakes.
but as the morning progressed the
snow fell in finer flakes until at noon
two or three inches covered the ground
and sharp wind was blowing from
the north. The snow continued during
most OF the afternoon and into the
evening, turning to hail and rain, af-
ter seven or eight inches of snow flaG
fallen The wind blew all day. and
people who drove in from the country
reported that it was drifting quite
heavily on the roads in the outlying
districts.
This storm was predicted in nearly
all published almanacs, and it was
pl obably due in Il great measure to
the eclipse Of the moon which occurred
early Friday morning, for it is not
only q superstition that a severe storm
follows an eclipse of the sun or moon.
but also a well-known and umdisput-
able astronomical fact.
The trains of the Maine Central rail-
road were nearly all late, the after
neon trains bound East being consid-
crably affected. The telephone and
telegraph systems in this section were
rot affected seriously as far as could
be learned, ana the storm did not in
terfere with the electric cars beyond
slight delays at the terminal points

NEW KIND OF SPORT
Snake Shooting Is the Latest and Is
Made Easy Because of
a Flood

Alton, ILL.,, May Presidents of Cal
hound county, H., have found a new
diversion to entertain travellers in the
form of snake shooting. Since the IL
linois river flooded the lowlands it has
driven from their homes rattlesnake s,
black snakes, water moccasins and bull
snakes, and the reptiles have taken
lodging in trees. Between Kampsville
and Eldred the route Of the old stage
coach is now covered by a man in a
skiff, who carries a rife with which
his passengers are allowed to shoot the
snakes from the boat.
The snakes are found coiled up in
the branches of the trees, summing
themselves and waiting for the wat
er 10 go down. Charles B. Johnson,
of Alton, claims to have shot fifteen
snakes in a ride of four miles, not one
of which was under five feet long.

mayors declaration came in the nature
Of painful surprise. Mayor Schmitz
told the general committee that from
information in his possession it APP
peared that 700 car loads of food and
supplies Of various descriptions had
+ been distributed since the morning of
the earthquake, April Is, and the
Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe and 9TH

Of only 10S cars on the way.
Food for Fifteen Days in Sight.
General Greedy does not take such
a pessimistic view. Basfng his cal
culatiOns upon reports received within
the past twenty-four hours General
Greedy stated that the entire available
food supply, including shipments on
hand and those en- route, would be
sufficient for the present population
during a period of fifteen days. This
reckoning is made upon the rate at
which supplies have been consumed
since the fire. Under the army ration
system that will hereafter prevail Gen
eral Greedy stated his belief that the
same amount of food would last TWEEN
ty-one days.
Distribution of Food at Oakland.
1t was decided at a conference held
by Governor Pardee, Representative
Kahn, General Greedy and Mayor
Mott that the distribution of relief sup
plies in Oakland should be also placed
under military direction, similar to that
in vogue in San Francisco. Oakland
being the nearest large place of refuge
from this city has been obliged to at
tend to the task of feeding and housing
thousands of unfortunate people, and it
is stated that the same misuse Of food
