SNOW Ths UP TRAFFIC.

Friday morning found the railroad
men in q state of mind unpleasant
anduninviting. The infant blizzard
blossomed out into its own during the
day, tying up long freight trains, and
knocking. schedules all to pieces. Tel:
egraph wire were down, and the
poles on which they hung were blown
over by the strong northeasterly
winds. The Illinois Central suffered
with its sister lines. The Great Yves,
tern abandoned the idea of running
Its trains on time, and in this city
were huddled six and eight freight
trains at time, awaiting orders
which were slow in coming.
Up on the west end, the wires were
all down. The process of mind read
ing was resorted to in running trains,
but the old heads quitely pursued the
even tramme of their ways and cas-
lily became accustomed to the dis
agreeableness of the case. Every win
ter brings just such storms, and jan
uary and February are leaders.

RURAL CARRIERS IN rolLs.

The tolls of the storm on Friday
invaded every line Of business, up
setting the usual picnic-like jobs of
rural mail carriers into a days outing
among the terrors of an artic storm.
The country roads were drifted full
of wet, and freezing snow, and the
lanes and fields became for the time
being regular thoroughfares. At
tempts were made by each carrier to
cover his route. One employe trav-
eled 16 miles Friday, facing the
storm; another drove IA miles. On
Saturday morning, the mailmen again
left the postoffice to supply their
routes. but were obliged to return, on
account of the impossible roads.

RICE GROWN tN.EtoWA.ta

sDr. s. A. Knapp Of the department
Of, agriculture has recently received
encouraging advices from Lee and
Muscatine counties as to the possibil-
tiles of rice culture. The reports
show that from IS to 100 bushels per
acre can be raised; that the season
is long enough, and that the industry
ought TO be highly profitable. Rice
is worth from 81 to $3.50 per bushel.
A season Of 125 to 14O days without
f-ust is needed. Rice was grown in
the cophtiesi ins question last season,
and the experiment was successful.
