nunication Hindered In
Many Sections

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The east and
the middle west are slowly recovering
from the effects of the snowstorm that
swept over many states~
The big blizzard which started in the
southwest and swept in a northeaster-
ly direction toward New York and New
England affected large section Of the
country, tying up traffic in many To-
calities and bringing widespread suf-
fering, especially to the poor of the
larger cities.
Many places were snowbound for
days, causing scarcity of coal and fuel.
The blizzard, one of the heaviest of
recent years, passed out to sea on the
northeastern coast of the United States.
In many places the heavy downfall of
snow was added to the remaining
snow of the Christmas blizzard, and its
removal entailed great activity and
long hours of work on the authorities.
In New York and elsewhere thou
sands Of men were pressed into service
in efforts to remove from the streets
the burden which impeded traffic and
caused numerous accidents to pedes-
trians and teams.
Outside of the cities the railroads,
both steam and electric, had their
work cut out for them to remove the
snow from their tracks.

ment Cannot Legally Pay
Tuition of Rangers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-Comp-
troller of the Treasury Tracewell de-
clared today that there was nothing in

there were about 200 of these forest
rangers attending universities and col
leges in the west for short courses in

being assured their government sala-
ries and travelling expenses meanwhile
would be paid.
Mr.. McCabe referred the matter to
Secretary Wilson, who in turn tub
mitted it to the comptroller.

A Big Decrease
in Our Population
Saline County Census Show
a Loss of Thirteen Per
Cent in Ten Years

While the State of Missouri has
increased per cent in population
the past decade, our county shows
falling off of 13 per cent.
The Missouri census in 1900 was
3,1Os,6e5 and this year s,2e5,s35 a
gain of 186,670.
Saline county census in 1900 was
33,762 and this year 29,440. While
il is admitted that Marshall has
decreased in population and prob
ably several other towns such as
Miami, Arrow Rock, New Frank
fort and Little Rock, yet Slater
and other points have overcome
this falling off, so that the rural
districts must have suffered most
We attribute this loss to the mov-
ing away of many colored people,
smaller families, larger farms and
general drifting to the cities.
While we see no special cause Tor
alarm to our citizens there is cause
for alarm in the thought of the
congesting population of our great
cities and when the conditions
there become unfavorable there
will be sad state of affairs for the
poor. In the meantime our farm
ers are pinched to secure laborers.
A happy solution it would appear
to us would be for our larger
farmers to build comfortable
homes for their working men and
make life a little more pleasant
for them by allowing more liber-
ties and if necessary employing
hand or two more than at present.
This would help to stop the drift
ing away from the farms.
The following shows the popu-
lation of some of our leading coun
ties in 1900 and 1910.

Stock Market.

Netional Stock Yards, ILL.,, Oct. 5.
With moderate receipts this week
and a very poor quality of CATTLE,
our market has advanced 25 to 35c
on the good kinds OF steers. The
medium kinds are about steady
with the low time OF last week
There were no fancy yearlings
here and what few medium yearI--
ings were on sale, were fully 25 to
iOc higher. All classes of heifers
are is to 25c higher Cows of all
kinds are just shade better than
the low time of last week. Bulls,
steady. Stockers and feeders ice
to 15c lower. 1t looks like we viii
have a lighter run the balance OF
the week and the good kinds will
sell a little stronger and the COM
mon ones will do well to continue
steady.
AhS mug hdrhcl again ueClhco
about 25c for the week, top being
1906 with the bulk OF the good
lights selling from $685. to 5000.
Prime medium weights from $s.T5
to $3.50. Choice heavies from $s.65
to $3.50. Common ones around So

tinue very light, they keep taking
off to 10c day, which looks
like We have no control of it what
ever as they seem to be satisfied
whether they ouy any or not. We
can not offer any encouragement.
The sheep market this week
with receipts has advanced 1Oc to

Twenty Dead in Ruins

Los Angeles, Cal, October L.
An attempt to destroy the resi-
dence of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis,
publisher of the Los Angeles Times
by means of an internal machine,
was made this afternoon.
Following as it does the ex-
plosion which early to-day, with
great loss OF life, destroyed the
buildings and plant of the Times,
suspected effort to blow up the
auxiliary plant of that paper and
the finding of powerful internal
machine in the residence of Secre-
tary Zeehandelaar of the Merchant
and Manufacturers Association,the
attempted outrage has wrought
Los Angeles to an intense sus-
pense and excitement.
Gen. Otis and the other respon-
sible heads OF the paper unequivo
cally charge the Times Building
disaster and the narrowly averted
attempts ait further destruction of
life and property to labor union
sources.
With equal emphasis, the lead
ers OF Los Angeles union labor
and throughout the state reputialte
the accusation and have offered
all aid In their power in the effort
to detect the culrFita.
For twenty years, following a
quarrel with the Typographical
Union, which resulted in making
the Times nonunion paper, Gen.
Otis has fought unionism with
every resource at his command.
He has been ably seconded inthis
fight by the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, whose sec-
retary was the object OF frustrated
dynamiting to-day.
