judge in a field of three candidates by
a plurality of 11O9. Mr.. Jackson was

representative and he received a plu-
raility of 316 in a field of four candi-
dates.
for prosecutor by a plurality of 122

dates. His nomination is neither a
victory for the temperance workers or
the saloon interests. He was support
ed by both elements and was generally
known as a compromise candidate.

treasurer by majority of 72o.
There were eight candidates in the
field for sheriff H. A. Kirk winning

CHICAGO COVERED.
Residents Forced to Hotels as They
Cannot Get Home.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Several deaths.
many injuries and much suffering
have followed in the wake of one OF
the worst billiards experienced in
this section in several years. Traffic
on surface and suburban lines is prac-
tically tied up and downtown hotels
are filled with residents of outlying
districts who found themselves unable
to reach their homes. The storm,
which broke early yesterday, ragged
with increasing fury until nightfsll,
subsiding somewhat toward midnight.
A tragic occurrence in connection
with the storm was the wrecking in
the harbor at Waukegan of the fish
ing boat Anspach, in which two men
lost their lives and six others narrow
ly escaped death.
BY 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
seven inches of snow had fallen. The
wind at frequent intervals blew with
velocity of fifty miles an hour, and ~
hurled the snow through the streets
in such binding clouds that it was
impossible to see for a greater dis
tance than a half square. and often
the range of vision would be limite4
to few feet.
