Disastrous Wintry Blizzard.

The blizzard of Thursday and Friday at
Superior, Wis, ended Saturday morning
with heavy fall of snow.
Eight inches of snow fell at Scranton,
Pa, last Thursday, which was followed by
a heavy rainfall, severe hail storm and
another hard rain.
Northwestern Pennsylvania experienced
the heaviest snowfall Of the winter, more
than ten inches deep, which fell Thursday
night and Friday morning.
After nearly month of extremely cold
and unreasonable weather, New York ex-
perienced late April snow storm last
Thursday morning. This is the latest snow
fall recorded in New York since May 6,
1891.
Minneapolis reported snowfall all Fri
day night. The Canadian Northwest was
frozen up and showed under. At Des
Moines, Iowa, the ground was frozen two
inches. The grip of lingering winter ex-
tended to Arkansas, Oklahoma and New
Mexico.
In the Northwestern States the storm Of
Thursday and Friday took the form of
blizzard with snowfall great enough to
block roads and hold up trains. The freez-
ing temperature caused suffering among
animals and ruin to crops. Throughout
the Mississippi Valley the destruction is
enormous. Snow, rain, hail and wind
made the destruction of crops complete.
Buildings were blown down and in many
cases whole towns wiped out. Cattle died
from cold and exposure and many orchards
were totally destroyed by frost and wind
in the Northwestern States and Canada.

Hicks Story.

Hicks Story.
1t was IN 1S47 that Hicks first made
county name as witty raconteur.
In that year Sir Samuel Spry, who had
been member for Bodmin since the
great reform bill, lost his seat and In
a petulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he
had abused his official position to in
fluence voters at the poll. In the
course of the trial Hicks was called
upon to state what he had to say in
his defense. In the course Of his state
ment he asked leave of the court to
illustrate his position by story. HIS
request being assented to, he related
how a few days previously he had
been to see lad whom he knew well
who was laid up from a fall from a
vicious donkey, which had kicked out
oil his front teeth. The lad, said
Hicks, had taken the matter in the
most kindly way and had said to him,
"'Tisn't the fall, Mr.. Hicks, and 'tisn't
the vally of the teeth what annoys
me, but it's the nashty, ghastly.
wishous disposition Of the jackass."
Sir Samuel Spry sprang up in the
well Of the court in a fury and ex-
claimed, ''He has called me a jack
asst" The court was convulsed with
laughter, and Hicks was promptly and
fully acquitted Of the trumpery charge
brought against him.-Cornhill Maya

Death, Wreck and Ruin.

An epidemic of cyclones and tornadoes,
the like of which have not been known for
years, swept the Central and Southern
States Thursday night and all day last
Friday, leaving in their wake hundreds of
dead and mangled bodies, and the disman-
tied wrecks of property worth many mil
lions. The death list totals nearly 500.
Tennessee was an especially heavy suf-
ferer. Few days in the history of naviga-
ton on the inland lakes have brought such
tales Of death and disaster. The Atlantic
Coast was heavy sufferer. The storm
wave-which seems to have had its origin
in the north sweeping the lake region in
irregular fashion, now moderating its force
as though spent, now growing more tur-
bulent and angry-in passing out to sea
seemed to gain in fury, and gale passed
up the seaboard from Charleston, S. c., to
Philadelphia, working great havoc at many
points.
In loss of life and property the storm was
one of the most widespread and destruc-
tive in years.
Following is summary Of some of the
localities most seriously affected:
Chicago, four de ID.
Pttsburg, four dead.
Laport, Ind, two dead.
Danville, Ala, two dead.
Medina, Tenn, two dead.
Harrisburg, ILL.,, one dead.

Senator McLaurin Answers the Davis Critics

Senator McLaurin, at whose request the
battleship Mississippi was given its name,
said last Saturday of the report that Con-
gresham Hollingsworth intended to offer
resolution protesting against the ship
receiving picture of ex-President Jeffer'
son Davis:
"There is a commission appointed to
purchase and present the silver service to
the battleship Mississippi with money con-
tributed by citizens of Mississippi. do
not know whether the portrait of Mr.. Davis
will be on the service or not. If his por-
trait is to be on the silver am sure no loyal
citizen of this country will have cause to
complain. 1t may serve the political pur-
poses of man who has no real merit to
commend him to abuse Mr.. Davis, but do
not think any man of lofty patriotism and
great thought would feel proud of con-
stituency that would relish such pabulum.
"Mr. Davis, as colonel of the First Mis-
sissippi Regiment, saved the United States
Army and converted defeat into victory at
Buena Vista. He was afterwards Secre-
tary of War and United States Senator.
He did not instigate a great rebellion, as
some ignorant people seem to think. When
Mississippi (the State he represented in the
United States Senate) seeded he resigned
and returned to his home private citizen,
and when the Southern States set up a
government they selected Mr.. Davis for
its head. If he were to blame (Which do
not intend to assert) for any view he held
of secession he was no more to blame for
the part he took in the war than is any
other Southern man for his respective part.
The more he is assaulted the more his great
ness appears. Any country could afford to
feel proud of such a man as jefferson
Davis.'

An Elenhant BRIDGE.

In ancient times in India q famous
general used elephants to bridge q
stream. He possessed a battalion Of
over 500 elephants, and. approaching
river where the stream was too rapid
for his troops to cross, he ordered the
elephants in and had them placed side
by side, facing up and down the
stream. Then planks were brought
and laid from the back Of one elephant
to that Of another, and over them the
troops passed in safety, the only trou-
BILE experienced being the showers Of
water which the elephants kept up by
sucking up the refreshing liquid In
their trunks and tossing it over their
bodies.

Calls for Check on Crime.

That the prevalence and increase of crime
are due to favoritism and laxity of enforcing
the laws is the view taken by the Somerset
(Ky.) Republican, which calls for a speedy
end of these influences that make mock
cry of justice. The paper says:
"What makes men do sop "Why is
there so much meanness going on?''
You hear these expressions often. The
writer heard such expressions this week.
We think the questions are easily an
swered, and any man who watches tran
spring events must conclude so.
When men do crime they should be
punished promptly. The certainty of i'm
mediate punishment would deter men from
committing crime.
When men commit the bloodiest kind of
murders they should be punished, even if
they are pets of few politicians.
If parties charged with murder are al
lowed to delay justice by hook or crook,
and swear out" the charges against them,
others criminally inclined become bold in
the doing of crime.
If something is not done to break up and
divide the pernicious influences brought to
bear upon juries, courts and grand juries,
conditions will grow even worse than they
are now.
1t has come to pass that the man who
stands in with some fellows can 90 scot
free of murder and other crime, and hence
we see murderers and other criminals 20
stalking abroad in the land as free as the
purest air of heaven.
These are facts that are notorious, facts
that cannot be denied, and they are enough
to chill and CONCEAL the blood in the veins
of all men who stand by and do nothing to
check the crime, or they are enough to
heat the blood of right thinking men to a
point that urges them on to eternal and
persistent efforts to bring about such con-
ditions as shall put check upon the causes
for this increase of crime.
