Blizzard Was Fierce,

Talking OF blizzards--th one that
swept down upon US from the northeast
on Tuesday capped the climax. It
was one OF those good, fashioned
billiards which possessed sufficient
energy to keep continually at it. 1t
piled up snowdrlfts ranging from four
to fourteen feet high and failed to blow
them down again. Not soul stirred
out OF doors who could possibly avoid
it. Not even dog would venture on
tho streets. So dense was the drift that
at times man could scarcely recog-
ni2e his own hand when he lifted it to
blow his nose. But we should be
thankful that we do not reside at
Medicine Hat or some other. place
where conditions were even worse.

State Auditor Iverson a place on the

if he refused to serve out the term for
which he was elected. He entered into

Azef, the Russian terrorist, who is
now refugee in Switzerland, is said
to be formulating plan for assassi-
mating the ear in which the aeroplane
will play q prominent part. Agef
says he has come to the conclusion
that it is impossible to kill the ear bv
ordinary means such as the revolver,
the dagger or the bomb and that he
will pour down death from above.
Hence the despotic emperor of all the
