NORTHWESTSHIVERS ON
ALL MAIL TRAINS LATE-:S4 DE-
GREES BELOW HERE -
COLDER ELSEWHERE.

Reports eminating today from
various points In the northwest indi-
cate that although the minimum tenn
perature here this morning was "a
degrees below zero, Madison did not
phere yesterday and today as did
many other centers affected by the
cold snap. AT Bismarck. n. d., it
was AZ degrees below zero and at st.
/ Paul the temperature was 3S degrees
below zero. At Bristol 1t was SO de-
grees below zero, it is said. As was
stated in yesterdays Daily Leader,
WATERFOWL was about the hardest hit
by the cold and wind of South Dakota
cities. The temperature there is re-
ported as having been 2S degrees be-
low zero yesterday when thermo-
meters here registered "a degrees be-
low zero.
All passenger trains continued last
night and today to arrive late. 1t is
thought that even if the weather
should moderate tonight. 1t will be a
day or two before passenger trains
will be run on anything approaching
schedule time. Freight trains on
some lines were cancelled entirely.
The unusual temperature is play
ing havoc with the mails. Not only
are the trains from an hour or 10 a
half day late in reaching the city. but
many miss connections with other
mail carrying trains. The morning
Milwaukee passenger train from the
west missed connections with the
train at Woonsocket which carries
mail between Sioux City and Aber-
deem. The train which brings mail
from Minneapolis and other northern
points, due here at 9:15 O'Clock in
the morning, will not arrive until
this evening. 1t was reported that
the engine had broken down neal
Bristol. The passenger train from
the south. scheduled to reach here at
2:15 o'clock this afternoon was re-
ported several hours late.
Ii Is thought probable at the local
railway offices that an attempt Will
DE made today TO open up the NIL
waukee cutoff. between this city and
Sioux Falls. A snow pillow will be
sent from the other end OF the line,
il is said. The Sioux City train again
today went around by the way OF
Egan.
Passengers arriving today from
the west told that ii was Al degrees
below zero last night at Artesian and
40 degrees below Zero at W~oonsocket
The cold again today had the Of
!, feet of keeping many of the smaller
children from school.
Stores. for the most part, were moi
open last night as they usually are or
Wednesday nights. The streets wer,
practically deserted after 6 o'clock
Business was more OF less at a stand
still, in many lines. and merchants
and clerks generally did not brave
i, the elements after supper.
Three citizens of the county have
appealed to the county commission
for means TO keep warm.

Mexican Outlaw Band Carried Away Booty and Went Into Hiding Following Escapade.-Brush

ARKANSAS BANKS SAFE AND SOUND
Strict Supervision of the Banking Department of the State Is Bring ing All Into Conservative Chan
 nels-DiPect0rs Must Meet.

Special to The Star
 Little Rock, May iS.-More and more are the banks of the state be- ing systematized by the State Bank Commissioner. In every way they are being required to adhere strict ly to the regulations that will put them upon an equality before the law and in their relations to the public.
 Since the first of the year, for in stance. the Commissioner has been requiring that all banks have a full quota of directors as provided in their articles of incorporation. The law requires that there shall not be less than three. If a bank does not elect the full number provided by it's charter, the charter must be practice. Since the first of the year forty state banks have so amended their charters, by reducing the num- Der of directors. And annually, the directors are required to file oaths as provided by statute. The di- rectors are required to direct, and not to be merely flgure-heads.
 The recent call for statements by banks is not the same as the usual call, but is for the reports of the examining committees. which are submitted to the Board of Direct ors for approval, and must be cer- tifled by the President and cashier. Among other things, all the bad and doubtful assets of the bank must be listed and reported. Tn this way, a strict accounting is kept of the affairs of the bank, and by having this knowledge, which is held in violate by the Commissioner many a shaking bank has been strength ened and saved.

 Denison has arranged to care for all of those made homeless.
 A majority of the merchants whose places were destroyed, reit- erated today their intention of locat- ing elsewhere, since they suffered heavy losses when cyclone struck the town in 1893
