ANNIVERSARY OF BLIZZARD
Thirty-Five Years Ago Terrible Storm
Struck the West.
NEBRASKA AND KANSAS CENTEI
Never EquaIled for Intensity and
Scope of Its Disaster-Wind,
SIeet and Snow the
t'' Chief Elements.

Wednesday, April Is, was the thirty-fifth
anniversary of the big blizzard and sleet
storm that struck the west with varied de-
grees of intensity, with its center over
southern Nebraska and northern central
Kansas
The first twelve days of April of 1873 were
as mild and balmy as was ever known to
any spring time. On the morning of the
18th a snow and sleet storm started which
has never been equalled in intensity and
disastrous results in the west. 1t prevailed
for three days. In Nebraska the gale blew
for two days at a rate of sixty TO eighty
miles an hour and the snowfall was tre-
mendous Grand Island was completely cut
off from the world and at York the snow
fall reached a depth of nearly five feet.
Railroad traffic was suspended through
out the entire west. Fortunately 1t was
not extremely cold but the wind and snow
were terrific. Cattle and sheep perished
by thousands. In that early day no prep
: aration had beer nor could be made for
the protection of live stock. Many lives
were lost during the storm throughout
Nebraska.
Mostly Sleet in Kansas.
In Kansas it assumed the nature of a
sleet storm and the destruction of live
/ stock in that state far exceeded the loss
| in Nebraska. The country east of Wal
| lace, Kan, to the Missouri river was a
veritable sea OF ice and sleet. Cattle were
| driven before the storm into draws and
canons and perished there i'm the floods
of sleet and ice that swept down on them.
| A popularity of the storm was that II

The cause of constipation is the use of
harsh physic.
II begins with the occasional use of
salts and harsh pills. They irritate
the bowel lining, as shown by the
gripping and pain.
Then Nature hardens that lining, Just
as she hardens the skin where you
constantly irritate II. The lining
like the skin-becomes calloused.
Its natural functions cease.
Then you take physic oftener-then
larger doses.
Eventually the bowel lining grows so
hard that you have chronic consti-
patton.
"Pills" can't cure that trouble, for
they were the cause of It.
You must do now what you should
have done at first. Take nothing
but Cascarets.

CITY,

Butte county republicans de-
It3ided to get along without putting
the county to the expense of having
il primary next month and proceeded
ito select a delegation that will go
solidly stalwart to the state con-
| Wention.
Under the caption "Stalwarts in
the Lead, the Argus Leader of
Sioux Falls, printed an article Tues
day containing figures to show the
relative strength of stalwart and in
Surgent delegations up to the pres
vent time.
y The first named are credited with
II 33 and the latter with 43 delegates,
with a number of the counties still
ITO be heard from. Pennington's rep
resentatives are placed in the stall
'wart column although it was not
'known locally that the delegation
had been selected. The Insurgents,
according to the statement expect to
lake the lead in the counties where
primaries are to be held next month
and thereby win control of the state
convention. The stalwarts, however,
dispute, this, and are expecting to
get their share of del gates in the
'ecntested counties.
A man prominent in the insurgent
movement said recently that SO far
Ms state politics were concerned, the
matter OF controlling the June con-
Nention was merely one of prestige,
and i'll case the stalwarts were
strongest there, another story would
'be told at the June primaries where
the choice TO delegates will have an
important bearing on the choosing OF
candidates for state Offices.
Democrats throughout the state
are getting into line to profit by the
@plit in the republican party and feel
dng is quite prevalent among them
that the present year is one to make
may in. At present many of the
democrat organs are working over
time TO widen the breach in the re-
publican party, hoping to get partial
support at least from the wing that
loses out next summer.
: The name of Andrew H. Lea is
'2eins mentioned prominently as
a possible candidate for the COVER
horship on the democratic ticket in
preference to LaFolette, Stransky
and others who have been suggested
as likely candidates for the job. The
Nlain Talk of Vermillion, and the
" ankton Herald, believe he is just
'she person to carry the banner of
democracy into the state capitol and
with other party organs are boost
ing strongly for him.

ROCKFORD PETITION
IS NOI GRINI[D
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE
UNABLE TO ALLOW TOWN
SHIP ORGANIZATION.
Twcnty-SiX Taxpayers Object to Pc
I Continue the Fight.

A special meeting Of the county
commissioners was held in the city
this week to act on the petition pre-
sented by a number of men living
in the vicinity of Rockford praying
that the township organization in
which the village is located be duly
organized.
Formal opposition was made to
the organization scheme by num-
Der Of taxpayers of the township
who retained Schrader G Lewis to
present their side Of the controversy
to the board. The petitioners also
had legal adviser in the person of
G. L. Wood.
1t seems that the petition origin
ally sent to Mr. Wood had attached
the names Of forty-two men. How
ever, when it was presented to the
beard there We're only thirtv-one sig
natures, the paper Bearing ell ven
names having in some manner be-
come detached from the document
After deliberating On The question
and hearing the argument Of both
sides, the board decided that thirty
one names were not enough to cause
therefore the proposition was voted
down.
Upon discovering that the petit
tion was short the original number
of signatures. Attorney Wood went
before the commissioners Tuesday
afternoon and endeagored TO secure
reconsideration of the decision ar
rived at in the morning, but in view
OF the fact that even with the addi-
ticnal names, the amount of taxes
paid by the twenty-siN objectols
was considerable more than received
from the petitioners, the board re-
fused TO change its attitude in the
mater and for the present at least,
Rockford will not be situated in a
regularly organized township.
The recent ruling forbidding the
sale Of liquor in unorganized town
ships and then only when the voters
have made known at the polls their
desire to license the sale OF liquor
is SAID to be at the back Of the de-
sire for organization.
Another petition was taken back
to Rockford by the defeated host
and further attempts viii be made
to secure enough signatures to carry
Their plan through. The objectors,
however, are Just as determined not
to allow the move If they can nelp
it and intend making every effort
possible in that direction.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Activities Along the Skirmish Lines
Continue With unabatcd Vigor
ThrOuohOut the State

Both wings of the republican par
ty, stalwart and insurgent, and the
democrats, have not allowed politi-
cal affairs TO grow dormant during
the week, rather the tendency is
considerably the other way for Sen
ator kittredge and Governor Craw-
ford are still telling the voters why
the parties they represent are the
best ever. One noticeable fact if
the press reports may be trusted, is
that neither Of the distinguished can
didates have resorted to mud sling
ing up to the present time. although
each has questioned the acts of the
other rather SHARPLY on several oc-
casions.
Beth candidates spoke to large
crowds on Washingtons birthday,
Crawford addressing an overflow au-
aiencc at Nermil]ion. The Panama
canal, and the Reed Smoot and Bris-
tol cases We're touched upon briefly
by the speaker in the course OF his
remarks. Kittredgc had large
number Of auditors at Centerville.
Friday night proceeding from that
town to Canton, where he delivered
an afternoon a,lrcss in the court
house. He made defense Of his
record both as q railroad attorney in
this state and also as its representa-
tive in Congress. According to the
stalwarts, Senator Kittredge won
many votes in Canton, which is
claimed to be one of the strongholds
of the insurgency.
The fight over the March primary
in N1innehaha county was settled last
week by all parties deciding to do
away with it on the present occa-
sion. Some time ago the republican
party had taken an opposite position
but upon the otner party committees
standing out against it steps were
! Immediately taken to make the holI-
ing of the election unnecessary and
twenty-four stalwart delegates were
promptly appointed to the state con.
vention.
Lawrence county is also lined III

delegates for Kittredge and at the
same time the central committees
