HISTORICAL Blizzard
MADISON CITIZENS RECALL THE
BIG BLIZZARD OF 1888.

Today is the tw~enty-ninth anniyer-
sary of the great winter storm that
prevailed throughout the northwest
January IL, 1888.
The day opened warm and balmy,
sunshine and thaw, and was an ideal
South Dakota weather day. This
continued until about $3.50 o'clock in
the afternoon when with the sudden
ness of a thunder clap a mighty wind
bearing a mountain of snow came
out of the northwest. spreading a
white darkness over the earth.
The hour of the arrival Of the
storm was unfortunate in view OF the
fact that many school children were
returning to their homes in the coun-
try districts and we're caught and per-
ished. About 200 lives were lost in
the then Dakota Territory, a consid-
cradle proportion of them being
school children.
In Madison the first thought of
parents and citizens after the storm
struck was the school children, all of
whom were at what is now Washing
ton school, the only schoolhouse in
town. Business men formed Ia

DRYS ARE JUBILANT
SUPT. H~OLSAPLE ISSUES STATE
MENT OUTLINING ENFORCE
MENT MEASURE.

Pierre. Jan. 12.-The prohibition
lists are jhbiliant owe the decision of
the United States supreme court on
the Webb-Kenyon bill, which. they
think, will go a long way toward stop
ping the sale of liquor in strictly pro-
hibition territory. While 1t is not eX-
pected TO go as far in this state as
has been the case under the West
Virginia law, ii is predicted that ulti-
mately this state will get into the
bone dry" list along with other
states. The new bill for this state is
practically completed and will likely
be introduced in each house before
the end of this week, and will be sub
ject to the action and views of the
members as TO just what, If any,
changes should be made in the orig
inal draft.
Supt. r. n. Holsaple. of the state
antisaloon league, has issued the fol-
lowing statement concerning the pro-
hibition enforcement measure the
drys propose for this state:
I'm the first place, we try TO pro
vide against the referendum by de-
rclaring that this act shall be deemed
a regulation of the police powers OF
the state for the protection OF the eco
monte welfare, peace, health and
safety of the people of the state.
Next, we provide that the gov
ernor shall be charged with the gen
eral enforcement of the provisions of
the law, and he is given authority and
full power to remove any states at
torney, sheriff, police officer Or may
or who neglects, fails or refuses to
enforce the provisions of this law.
The law prohibits, of course. the man
ufacture of intoxicating liquors, as
well as the sale by any but registered
pharmacists. 1t prohibits solicit
ing orders for liquor in person, by
telegraph, telephone, circulars, signs
or any other way. 1t provides that
registered pharmacists may sell liq-
uors, except beer, for medicinal, me-
chanical. scientific or sacramental
purposes, only after having received
a permit to sell such liquors from the
commissioner Of prohibition. Liquor
may be sold for medicinal purposes
on physicians prescription only,
which prescription may not be re-
filled.
Liquor may be sold for mechanic
al and scientific purposes and wine
for sacramento purposes on a sworn
affidavit of the purchaser. Register
ed pharmacists are required to have
a certain stamp or label on every
package or bottle of liquor sold
which stamp or label is furnished by
the commissioner of prohibition.
This of necessity will require that he
shall purchase all liquors from whole
salers in this state, and we a in
this way keep a check on all the liz

squads and with ropes encircling the
children in groups they were brought
to Egan avenue and safely distribut-
ed to their homes. The storm ragged
with fury during the night, gradually
subsiding the next day.
Two lives were lost in Lake coun-
ty. A young man, nephew of Lars
Johnson, was fishing through the ice
at Lake Madison, and became lost in
the storm and persisted, his body be-
ing found entangled in a wire fence
several days later. Mrs. Owens, re
siding near Wentworth, persisted and
her husband narrowly escaped, the
couple being caught on the road re
turning to their home. The school
children in the Ryan neighborhood,
northwest OF the city. were caught
u on the prairie, but their teacher
succeeded in getting them into an
empty granary where they remained
over night and escaped with frost
bites. A farmer near Winfred lost
twenty-seven head of cattle in the
storm.
These are a few local incidents of
the storm recalled by Madison citi-
zens, but the list of casualties
throughout the northwest was appal-
ling, and is recorded as the most dis
-astrous storm in this section.
