BLIZZARD HITS
 MICHIGAN STATE
Wintry Weather Causes Much Sufferins-RaiIroads Blocked
 and Trains Stalled.

Detroit, Mich., March 26.--Thc state of Michigan is being swept by one of the worst bliZZardS ill it's history. The thermometer has fallen below zero and a high wind is blowing.
 The suffering has been intense, few being prepared to stand the unexpected cold snap. Traffic on the railroads is at a standstill and nothing can be done to relieve the situation until the storm sub sides. Many of the little towns are calling for coal. but none can be sent for the present as the supply on hand is low. and the roads and boats are unable to make rush deliveries.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 26.- The two days rain which follow ed the tornado with an unpre- cedenied downpour, has flooded the rivers and scores of towns in Ohio and Indiana are under wa ter, the rivers rising rapidly, driv- ing the people to the hills, forc- ing them to abandon their homes and flee for their lives. Many have been drowned. Ten thousand are homeless. The property loss will be a hundred million dollars.
 The governor has called out the militia and put them to work re- pairing the breaks in the river levees. The worst break is at Dayton. Ohio, and thousands of men are working with sacks and earth to repair the damaged levee.

BULGARS CAPTURE
 PART AOR|AN0PLE
Long Siege Nearing the End Garrison Out of Provisions
 and Ammunition.

Sofia, March 25.-(Delaycd ill transmission) The Bulgars cap- tured the outer defences of the city of Adrianople and the guns have been turned upon the city, which must soon fall. The Turk ish garrison is out of provisions and ammunition and the capture of the city is but a matter of hours.
 The city has been besieged since the beginning of the present war. but has stubornly refused to surrender. It also has been the cause of stumbling blocks in the negotiations for peace, as the Turks refuse to surrender the city, as it is considered by them holy city, while the Bulgars re- fuse to conclude peace unless the city is ceded to them.
 Once the city falls the Bulgars say they will never give it up, if they have to fight Austria to re- tain the prize. The Montenegrins and Servia, backed by Russia, will refuse to give up any territory which they have captured.

School Directors.

IL has been suggested that Father Van der Pol be elected to the school board from the Reser- vatiOn and better suggestion has not been made. He is well qualified to act, and to act intel ligently> than any name that has yet been suggested. He is cap able and has had more experience than any other resident we know of. If the city should elect Rev. Zeigler, who has the same quali- fications, and the Reservation Father Van der Pol, il would as sure two members of the board who are fully qualified and equip ped to fill the office. The Pros pector. in all earnestness, would urge the names of Father Van der Pol and Rev. Zeigler.

REBELS BATTLE
 WITH FEDERALS
Truce Declared to Bury Dead-~ Battle Ragged About Mining
 Town of Cannane,

Cannane, Mexico. March 26.- The federals and Mexican rebels battled all day yesterday for the possession of this town, with neither side gaining any advan- tage. The dead numbers nearly "a hundred. mostly rebels, who are trying to take the city, and were more exposed than the forces be- hind the breastworks.
 A truce was declared to permit the burial of the dead. The rebels lost 60 and the fcderals about 40. The battle will be renewed today, as the rebels are determined to take the city, which is one of the few towns still in the hands of the federal government in the state of Sonora.
 The federal garrisons are all concentrated in the cities in the northern states of Mexico wait ing for endorsements from the capital.
 The Hurrta government is un- able to send troops from the southern section of the country, as they are needed to quell the uprisings in that section. Huerta is ruling with an iron hand and all prisoners are quick Iy executed. The war is one of rXirrminatiOn.

CABLE REPAIRED
 LAST EVENING

The military cable, which was broken last Saturday night, was repaired at 5:30 last night and communication to the states is over the shorter and more direct route between here and Seattle. Tn" break was repaired by the use of a lighter.
 During the break the Prospect = nr received it's press via the Ca nadian line at a greatly increas- ed cost. II seems that when the line goes out of commission big news events take place on the outside. About a year ago, when the wreck of the Titanic happen ed. the cable was out of commis- sion and the ProspectOr was com pelled to spend considerable addi- tional money to secure the story, and now the big tornado and floods in the middle states must happen when the line was down.
