The country from Chicago east
to the Atlantic coast has been ex-
periencing some severe winter
weather the past few da-s. Snow
to the depth of % inches is reported
in Ohio, and in some places the
velocity of the wind is placed as
high as 70 miles an hour. The
greatest distinction was along the
Great Lakes and at least thirteen
vessels are believed to have been
loss. The death loss is large, but
is not known. Immense property
loss has been sustained, and in
many places traffic has been near
ly suspended on account of biz
yards. This is certainly a great
contrast compared with the beauti-
full weather that we have been en-
joying in this part of the country.

st. Louis is going to have paved
streets For many days of weary
working by the business and chamber
of commerce Here lies the whole
cream of the work in these handful of
business men who have won the
cause. Tuesday was the day to tell
whether or not the paving question
would be settled. SIC 600 was bonded
by the city to use in paving the va
rious streets of our sity. Our city is
the last of the three largest cities
in the county TO have paved streets.
We are glad that the people of our
city are progressive enough to vote
for the paving. We are sick and tired
of looking into our streets and seeing
wagons sink hub deep in mud. But
this question is solved and we can not
give enough praise to our business
men who have worked so diligently
for the honorable cause. Following
are the votes cast in the four wards.
First ward, 63 for; against Second
ward, 9s for; against. Third ward,
1O1 for; 2 against Fourth ward, 1877
for; 6 against. Making a grand total
of 1919 for the paving and only IA
against the paving in the whole city.
