ALLIED BAZAAR GREAT SOCIAT EVENT
(By Associated Press. }

Chicago, Jan. 10. - The Allied
Bazaar, said to be the greatest society
charitable event ever held in the mid
die west, designed to provide relief
funds to war sufferers of the countries
Of the entente allies, was opened here
at the Coliseum, the building which
has been the scene Of several nation
al political conventions.
Chicago social and philanthropic
leaders made the initial preparations
but the aid of organizations Of every
city in the middle west was early en-
listed, and the immense array OF
things on sale ranged from q $4,000
pearl necklace and blooded horses. to
rough crucifixes carved in the trench
es.
In all 5000 persons were engaged in
promoting the bazaar. For the most
part the routine society events Of the
winter were abandoned or curtailed to
center every energy on the million
dollar. show" at the Coliseum. 'st
Two thousand women comprise the
selling force. It is said that an idea
of the immensely of the preparations
may be gained from the statement OF
Mrs. Halson Hankey, associated with
Mrs. Ralph Greenlee in the confec-
tionery department. that the forty
girls in this section expect to dispose
OF three tons of candies before the
close of the bazaar on Jan. 90.
All of the sales women were in ap-
propriate customes from the fur-trim-
med gowns of the Russians and the
strange high hats of the WEIGH to the
sport suits of the Canadians.
The "dansant and carbaret"
section was a point of interest. The
cabaret performers, rotating from day
to day, include the foremost actors
and actresses now in Chicago, and

Big BLIZZARD SWEPT
STATE 20 YEARS AGO
Old timers Recall Storm in Which
Nearly Thirty Lost Their Lives.

Pioneers of the city were today re-
calling incidents of the great blizzard
which swept North and South Dakota
and Minnesota twenty mine years ago
yesterday. Some were looking for a
big storm last night but the weather
was comparatively mild here in the
valley.
The big storm which proved very
disastrous occurred on January IL,
1883 and as a result nearly thirty per-
sons throughout this section of the
northwest lost their lives. Among
this number were several children
who were frozen to death while go
ing home from school.
In many instances teachers did not
permit their children to leave the
schoolhouse until the following morn
ing, though teams were available to
transport them.
Here in Fargo THE blizzard was
very bad and there are many residents
of the town who wildly recall incl
dents of the terrible storm.

loss is over $500, and there was nc
insurance. 1t is thought that the fire
started from an overheated stove, as

the fire was discovered. The fire extin-
guisher in the shop and larger one
from the Great Northern depot were
used, but it was impossible to stop the

Graham, who slept in the shop, lost all
his clothing. The shop was owned by
