90 the worst storms in years. accord

'e1ties. While no reports OF fatalities
have been received from the immedi-

In Chicago the extreme cold wealth
or which has prevailed for several
days moderated today when the city
nwoke to five inches of snow on the
ground. The high wind was blowing
badly In the streets making the high
ways impossible In many places.
4 Ice ON the tracks completely tied UP
surface and elevated traffic for sew
eral hours and caused a number or
minor wrecks on the suburban rail-
road lines AS a result the suburban
and elevated trains were running from
one hour to three hours late. Scores
Of persons received minor injuries by
slipping on the icy sleet-covered side
walks.
The blizzard reached its height in
Iowa and Nebraska. Reports from
Des Moines indicate il Is the worst
storm Iowa has experienced In many
years and the damage will be enorm-

KINDERGARTEN VISIT.

Miss Golden Rod was all dressed In
her yellow gown that day. She came
dancing down the street to the yard
where Miss Purple Aster was waiting
for her at the gate. and together they
went to call on Mr.. Sun Flower )
kindergarten class.
: The school was down street only q
little way, and when they arrived MIR.
Sun Flower nodded his head very
pleasantly as he greeted his callers.
He did have to stoop little to shake
hands because he was so very tall.
Then he turned TO his pupils. who
were mostly Mrs. Morning Glory's
children, and asked the Glory girls,
who had on their pretty pink. white
and purple striped dresses, to form
In one line. and the Glory boys, who
had on their white suits. to form an
other line for marching up the line
fence. They counted one and two,
left and right. just as you kindergar-
ten children do. clapping their hands
to keep time and marching In two
straight rows up and down.
Then they danced and marched in
circles, and finally curtesied to the
visitors and took their seats.
Miss Aster thought they marshed so
well that before she went home she
complimented them and invited them
all To come over TO her yard some day
to a picnic, which OF course delighted
the kindergarten class very much IN

knocked down a small partition with

COAL DEALERS UP IN ARMS.
Protest Against Railroads Proposal To
impose Re-SonsIsnina Charge.

Local coal dealers believe they see
the hand OF the coal trust In the at
temps OF the railroads To establish
re-consigaing charge OF 20 cents per
ton on coal shipped out Of Detroit.
The imposition OF such charge. they
say, would either boost the price o,
coal or drive many dealers out or
business. Jules Hoffman. a prominent
wholesaler, says the story that joo-
bers have caused the tie-up OF cars IN
Toledo By speculative ordering OF cars
is all rot The railroads. he says. are
wholly TO blame for the present con-
dition of things. and he says. further.
that there would be little congestion 4
all shippers were treated alike.
II the railroads put the re-consign-
ing charge into effect II will give the
mine owners absolute control OF the
coal situation, and dealers In Detroit
and Michigan will be At their mercy.
say those who are fighting the move.
The freight agents and coal dealers
meet Thursday TO discuss the matter.
III the railroads insist on making the
charge, there is a strong probability
that the coal men will apply for an
Injunction.
