STORM RACES IN CHICAGO.
Windy City In Grasp Of Old Fashioned
Blizzard

Chicago.-The most violent storm
that has visited Chicago in many years
commenced at O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, and at night is raging with in
creasing violence, with no prospect OF
a lessening of its force before morn
ing.
By o'clock in the afternoon seven
inches of snow had fallen, and it was
still coming down heavily. The wind
at frequent intervals blew with a ve-
locity of fifty miles an hour, and it
hurled the snow through the streets in
such binding clouds that it was impos-
sible to see for a greater distance than
a half square, and often the range of
vision would be limited to a few feet.
A great number Of accidents of a
minor character were caused by COLI
sions between wagons and street cars.
Up to 6 o'clock at night no serious cas-
ualties had been reported, although
quite a number of people had been in
jured by wagons and by falls on the
pavement.
At o'clock, when the home-going
crowd was thickest, the wind was
blowing so heavily and the snow was
falling in such binding sheets that it
was positively dangerous to attempt to
cross Michigan avenue and it's inter-
section with either Jackson boulevard
or Van Buren, street.
The crossings are used by thousands
of people every night to reach their
homes in the southern part of the city
and in the suburbs by means of the
Illinois Central railroad.
1t was found necessary to station
large number Of city and park police
at those corners to assist women, and
often it was more than one officer
could do to pilot woman across with
out assistance. 1t was out of the ques-
tion for a woman to cross the street by
herself
An officer was stationed half
square west of the crossing of Jackson
boulevard and Michigan avenue, with
orders to send women back or to bring
them through the Stratford hotel, by
which means the worst portion of the
crossing was evaded.
The street car companies ana the
elevated roads Jared well throughout
the day, but the heavy increase of
snow that came late in the afternoon
made desperate work for them. Every
available man and all the snow plows
were constantly at work in keeping
the tracks clear
In the suburbs the trolley lines were
operated with great difficulty because
of the constantly increasing drifts and
locomotion became constantly more
difficult
1t was estimated at the weather bu-
reau that the fall of snow would
amount to one foot or more by morn
ing.

tTO BE CONTrNUED)
Mans Prejudice for Black Clothes.

In opening an artistic dress exhibi-
ton MIR. Louis N Parker, master of
the recent Warwick pageant, said
there could be no doubt that the
clothes men wore were foolish, says
the Pail Mall Gazette. He claimed
that as woman could array herself in
sympathetic colors and flowing folds.
the time had arrived when man should
be placed on equality with her instead
of the having to array himself in black
for dinner, the theater, funerals and
weddings. He believed and hoped that
his pageants would do something to
sweep away the prejudice for black,
for it was horrid custom on the part
of civilization.

Hypnotjc Sunstroke

A German physician who had a pa.
tient who could not afford to go to a
warm climate, thought he would ac.
complish the same result by means of
hypnotism. The doctor chalked pic.
ture of the sun on the ceiling. and by
suggestion induced the patient to be-
lieve 1t really was the sun and that
it would cure him. But the patient
soon died. When the doctors friends
guyed him about the novel treatment
he Indignantly explained that the pa.
tient was getting along nicely and
would have got well had he not unex
pectedly died OF slnstroke.

Attest:
Canon City Water System.

Canon City.-An ordinance authoriz-
ing and enabling the city to constru
a gravity system of water works at
cost not to exceed $225.O00 was passed
upon first reading in the city council
without a dissenting vote. Four per
cent fifteen year bonds for the amount
have already been negotiated to fur
nish the money for the construction of
the system next spring. The issuance
of these bonds was authorized by the
voters in special election in April,
1907, but not until now has the coun-
Gil been able to agree upon a PROPOSE
tion. According to present plans the
water will be taken from the Arkansas
river at point eight miles above the
city.

Arbor Day Proclamation.

In accordance with the annual Gus
tom, Governor Buchtel has issued the
following Arbor day proclamation:
by law the third Friday in April
of each year is set apart as Arbor
day, to be observed by the people of
the state in the planting Of trees, with
the proviso that the actual planting of
trees may be done on the day desig-
mated or at such other convenient
time as may best conform to local
climatic conditions. Under this law
we name a day for the education of the
people which we all Arbor Day, and
then announce that the actual plant
ing of trees may be done when condi-
tions are favorable.
"Arbor day in Colorado should be
one of the most joyous of all jubilee
days. 1t is impossible to estimate the
value OF trees in the promotion of
health and comfort, and In ministry
to the refinement of life Every school
ground should contain specimens of
all the native forest trees as can be
made to grow here. Boys and girls
should be permitted to live with the
trees and the birds as well as with
the history of dead tongues and dead
kings.
IN dccOTuance Wltn lne COlOrauO
Arbor Day law, / therefore designate
Friday, April 18th, as Arbor Day for
the year 1908, and heartily recommend
to all the people of the state, to all
professors and students in the educa-
tional institutions, and to all teachers
and pupils in the public schools that
the day be properly observed with
literary exercises and in the planting
of trees.
'In witness whereof. | have. here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of state to be affixed at
Denver, this 18th day of February,
1908.

"Mr. williston informed. did he
not?"
"Williston? Oh. yes. he informed.
but he'd never "a done it if it hadn't
"a been for the boss. The oil jellyfish
wouldn't "a had the nerve to inform
without backin', as sure as stone

you, Miss. But Williston g goin' on

The two cowboys at the corner table
had long since finished their supper.
They now lighted bad-smelling cigars
and left the room. To Louise's great
relief Munson rose, too. He was back
very soon with a neat little runabout
and a high-spirited team of bays.
"Boss's private" explained Jim with
pride. 'Nothin' too good for lady,
so the boss sent this and me to take
keer O it. And O you, too, Miss" he
added, as an afterthought.
He held the lines in his brown, mus
cular hands. lovingly, while he slowed
away Louise's belongings and himself
snugly in the seat, and then the blood
burned hot and stinging through his
bronZed, tough skin, for suddenly in
his big, honest, unframed sensibilities
was born the consciousness that the
boss would have slowed away the lady
first. 1t was an embarrassing mo-
ment. Louise saved the day by climb
ing in unconcernedly after him and
tucking the linen robe over her skirt
1T will be dusty drive, won't it,"
she asked, simply.
Miss. you're a-dandy," said Jim
as simply.
AS they dove upon the pontoon
bridge, Louise looked back at the little
town on the bluffs and felt momen
tary choking in her throat. 1t was a
strange place, yet it had tendrils
reaching homeward. The trail be-
yond was abscurely marked and not
easy to discern. She turned to her
companion and asked quickly: why
didn't Mary Gomez"
Great guns! Did l forgit to tell
you? Williston's got the stomach
ache to beat the band and Mary's got

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

''What'll you have" he asked, hos
pitably, the familiar air of the Bon
Ami bringing him back to his accus-
toned self-confident swagger.
Might l have some tea and toast,
please?" said Louise sinking into a
chair at the nearest table. with two
startling yet amusing thoughts ram
pant in her brain. One was. that she
wished Aunt Helen could have seen
her swinging along in the wake of this
typical bold and licentious" man,
and calmly and comfortably sitting
down to cozy little supper for two
at public eating house; the other
startling thought was to the effect
that the invitation was redolent with
suggestiveness, and she wondered il
she was not expected to say, "A whis-
key for me, please"
Guess you kim" answered Jim,
wonder in his voice at the exceeding
barrenness of the order. Mrs. Hig-
gins, hello there, Mrs Higgins! l say,
there, bring on some tea and toast
for the LADY,"
Where is the Three Bars" asked
Louise, her thoughts straying to the
terrors of 15-mile drive through
strange and uncanny country with a
stranger and yet more uncanny man
She had accepted him without ques-
ton. He was part and parcel with the
strangeness of her new position. But
the sudienness of the transition from
idle conjecture to startling reality had
raised her proud head and she looked
this new development squarely in the
face without outward hint of inward
perturbation.
Say, where was you raised?" asked
Jim, with tolerant scorn, between
huge mouthfuls of boiled pork and
cabbage, interspersed with baked po-
tatoes, hot rolls and soggy dumplings,
shoveled in with knife, fork or spoon
He occasionally anticipated dessert
by making a sudden sortie into the
quarter of an immense custard pie,
Fastening the end by means of noisy
draughts of steaming coffee. Truly,
the Three Bars connection had the fat
of the land at the Bon Ami.
why, it's the Three Bars that's
bringin' you here Didn't you know
that? There's nary a man in the
hull country with backbone enough to
keep off all-fours 'ceptin' Paul Lang
ford. Um. You just try once to walk
over the boss, will you? Lord! What
a grease spot you'd make!"
MIR. Gordon isn't being walked
over, is he?" asked Louise, finished
with her tea and toast and impatient
to be off.
"Oh, Gordon? Pretty decent sort o.
chap. Right idees. Don't know
much about handlin' hoss thieves and
sich. Amt smooth enough. Acted
kind O. like chicken with it's head
cut of till the boss got into the round
up"
"Oh!" said Louise, whose concep-
tion of the young counsel for the state
did not tally with this delineation.
Yep, Miss, this here's the boss's
doin's. Yep. Lord, Whatll that
gang look like when we are through
with 'em. Spendin' the rest o. their
days down there in Sioux Falls. medi.
tatin' on the advisability o. walkin'
clear o the toes o the Three Bars in
the future and cussin' their stupendi-
fled stupidity in foolin even once with

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Brattleboro People Know
How to Save It.

Many Brattleboro people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the kid.
neys when they know these organs need
help Sick kidneys are responsible for a
vast amount of suffering and i'll health,
but there is no need to suffer nor to re-
main, in danger when all diseases and
aches and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured by. the
use of Doan's Kidney BILLS. Here is
Brattleboro citizens recommendation.
F. E. Fuller, Is Clark street, Brattle-
boro, Vt, says: For three months or
more | was troubled with headaches and
dizzy spells. l knew that my kidneys
were at fault as there was too frequent
action of the secretions, forcing me to
arise often during the night. When. |
caught cold, it always made my trouble
worse and 1 was unable to get relief I'M
til | procured Doan's Kidney Pills at +.
H. Holden L. Co.'S drug store. They not
only rid me of the headaches and dizzy
spells but corrected the kidney weakness.
Whenever | have an opportunity l en-,
iorse this remedy in the highest terms.
For sale by all dealers. Price so cents.

Elroy Kent Faking Insanity?

There was little sleep for the prisoners
in the vicinity of Elroy Kent's cell in the
Rutland county Jail last week. Kent
made the nights hideous with yells and
loud talk. Sometimes he seemed to be
possessed of the idea that he was being
pursued by a crowd of angry men. Keep
away from me- you fellows" he would
cry, Don't you see my mother com
ing:" Kent kept it up that way two or
three nights and all efforts to quiet him
were unsuccessful.
The house of correction officials believe
that Kent is shamming in the hope that
he may be sent back to the Waterbury
asylum, where he probably thinks he
would have better chance to escape,
A new discovery was made the. other
day at the home in East Wallingford of
Miss Della Congdon, for whose murder
Kent is under indictment. During. an
auction sale of Miss Congdon's household
effects the auctioneer came across a
wooden potato masher stained with blood
It is believed that the implement was
used by the murderer in his attack on
Miss .Congdon and overlooked by the Of
icers who searched the house after the
tragedy. It was turned over to Deputy
Sheriff A. A. Leonard of Walingford.

preen CompOund

Infantile eczema, which has baffled the
skill of the" best physicians for SO many

The Rev. Lewis Steeley of Weatherly,
Pa, writes:
Our baby boys little face was SO
dreadfully covered with eczema that blood
and water ran from the sores nearly al
the time. After using 81 bottles OF u;
D. D. Prescription we are so happy to tell
you he is entirely cured and the disease
has never broken out again. II this let
ter is in any way help to other suffer
els, you may publish it."

once and how all the cures seem to- be
permanent; we have seen this too often
to hesitate at all in recommending the

Sporting Notes.

st. Johnsbury, it is understood, will
not be represented by professional
basketball team this season. The arm
orv which was used for the sport last
winter has been turned into a moving
picture theatre, and there is no other
available place in which to play. More
over, the patrons were not wholly salts,
fed with the management of "Billy"
GRAY. Keene is planning for strong
team. It has engaged Vaughan, Gion,
McGuiggan and Sebastian and has its
Iires out for the redoubtable "Jack "
Fox. The outlook for professional
basketball in Brattleboro this winter
is anything but roseate, although some
of the fans are endeavoring to arouse
interest in the idea. Turner's Falls will
have a team, but it will be made up of
local PLAYERS.

Saturdays Football Results.

Yale did the heavy scoring in the foot
ball games of Saturday, piling up 40
points against the Massachusetts, "A!g
gies," light team of comparatively, lit
tie strength. Harvard, with Capt. Burr
absent, won from Brown by score OF
6 too and ought to have scored more
points judging BY the distance it gained.
Princeton and West Point had q ieree
tussle neither side scoring. The Indians
won from Annapolis, IS to g., the former
making all it's points on goals from the
field. Pennsylvania won from Carnegie
Is to 0, Trinity from Holy Cross % to O.
