old SOL BREAKS
THROUGH STORM
TRAFFIC ON RAILROADS GREATLY
HINDERED LAST NIGHT AND
TODAY.
STREET CARS ALSO
No Schedule Could be Maintained
Yesterday - City Almost Cut off
From Country by Wagon
Roads.
STREET CARS ALSO

Following the blizzard of yesterday
the sun came out clear and bright to.
day. Indications are that the storm Is
over. The snow is still drifting con-
siderably but by tomorrow Will be
sufficiently settled to prevent further
delays In train service.
Street car traffic was practically
demoralized yesterday, but today SUI
perintendent Raber reports all cars
running on schedule. Early this morn
ing the sweeper was brought out and
the tracks cleared of the drift snow.
Communication fro mthe country by
wagon roads is almost shut off be-
cause Of the deep snow drifts in the
cuts. Probably by tomorrow most of
the main travelled roads will be in a
passable condition.
Trains Delayed.
All passenger trains were delayed
today No. 3 on the Burlington from
Chicago was two hours and thirty
minutes late this morning. 1t is due
in Ottumwa at 7:45. The fast mail
was about as late. Large drifts were
encountered all the way from Chi
cago.
Milwaukee train No 8 from Chi
cago was over two hours late. 1t is
due in Ottumwa at 1918. Almost the
same difficulties were encountered by
the Milwaukee, as the storm was gen.
eral.
Children Kept From School.
Many children were kept from
school this morning, but because of
the favorable conditions overhead
many took heart and trudged through
the snow to the schools who otherwise
would have been kept at home.
Yesterday afternoon the high
school didn't convene because Of the
blizzard and the difficulties that
would be encountered in going to the
school from distant parts Of the city
Many OF the children of the grade
schools were kept at home by their
parents although some of them were
late in starting, none of the grade
schools were closed because of the
storm.
No Trains Stalled.
! No trains were reported stalled BY
any of the railroads, which would
have been the case If the storm hat
continued today.
AS far as the street car compan,
4 was concerned, the storm prevented
any kind of schedule being maintain
4 ed by the officials. Cars would b.
sent out as soon as they came in
j Sometimes several cars would b.
stalled on line at the same time. o.
the East end line two cars wer
thrown from the rails. This tied III
three cars
u The drifting snow interfered wit
all of the south side lines and sci
4 vice was not regular, sometimes in
termissions of over thirty minute
elapsing between passing cars. TIL
west and loop lines were not badly al
fected. Court Hill and Jefferson stree
lines were probably the worst to kee
cars running at all yesterday. Car
} climbing Court Hill often travelled a
snail's pace and would be oblige
to back down and get fresh start.
