HISTORICAL Blizzard
ASK ANY OLD TIMER ABOUT JAN
~, 1888, AND SEE WHAT
YOU'LL GET.

Pierre, Jan. 12.-Ask any old time
resident Of Dakota where he was
thirty years ago from January IL,
and you will start a stream of remi-
n~iscenses to which practically every
one who was here in 1888. can add a
chapter. 1t was a day anyonewho went
through 1t will never forget and the
conditions were so strongly impress
ed on their minds that they will new
er be effaced. Starting with mild,
warm winter weather. just such a day
as would tempt people into the open.
and from this in the twinkling of an
eye changed to a roaring. swirline
mist OF ice needles which none could
face. and which blotted out vision
even within a few inches, let alone
any opportunity to locate landmarks,
and a temperature which rapidly
dropped from thawing to far below
zero, and which meant death to las
residents of Dakota territory OF that
day, Of which 112 lost their lives In
that part of the territory now in
South Dakota. Many OF these were
lost in attempting to get from houses
to barns and back. starting out with
the belief that no storm could blow
which could take them out OF the ia
miliar daily track. and W. getting
back to their fireside. but wandering
on the prairie until they dropped Of
exhaustion.
These thoughts come up to all old

residents when a storm with a little
flying snow is called a blizzard" by
the later corners In the state. The old
resident may admit that there is a
winter storm playing over the prai-
ries but none who was here on the
fateful January IL OF thirty years ago
will admit that the present day
storms have ever reached blizzard
proportions. 1t was a day of record
for not only Dakota, but the whole Of
the northwest, and lives were lost
In that storm in Minnesota, Nebras-
ka and Iowa as well as the Dakotas.
The loss was not heavy in Montana
or Wyoming, as the storm started In
those states before daylight in the
morning and settlers were not out on
the prairie. The loss OF North Da-
kota was less than for South Dako-
ia for practically the anne reason.
and the farther south and east the
storm reached the heavier was its
toll. The storm was apparently
more Of an electrical one than Of any
other character, as every piece OF
metal was affected, and to touch a
stove with a poker while the storm
was In progress, would bring an cleo
trical spark at any time during the
storm. There has never been anoth-
err such in thirty years, and no one
who was in the storm of that time
cares to see another like it.

Mennonite WIVES
INVESTIGATION BY OFFICIALS
RESULTS In A CHANGE OF
CLASSIFICATION.

Alexandria, Jan. 12.-Members of
the local colony of Hetterische, or
Mennonites, as they are more COM
monty called, have decided that their
wives are not entirely dependent on
them for support, and have so admit
ted to the local exemption board.
The colonies had all claimed ex-
emption from military duty on the
grounds that their families needed
their labor. Those well versed with
the laws of the select class" how
ever, claimed that support in the col
ony is mutual. and objections We're
made to the classification Of the men
In class four, as they requested.
Adjutant General w. A. Morris
was called on for a ruling. and came
here to aid in the investigation of the
case. The men were called before
the board, and under pressure ad-
mitted that the wives revert to the
colony for support when their hus-
bands leave them. Following this adj
mission they we're permitted to with
draw their claims of exemption and
were reclassified. They were also
warned that any further efforts to
evade military service would result
In arrest.
Adjutant General Morris wired ex,
emption boards IN other counties hav.
ing colonies Of this sort of the action
taken here and advised that similar
action be taken there.
Fifteen of the men are subject to
the draft rule. Two, whose claims
Of exemption were overruled, are now
serving with the national army al
Camp Funston, Kansas.

CONVENIENCE FOR AMERICANS.
Passport Bureau Established in Paris fol
Those Going Through.

Paris, June correspondent OF the As
ISOLATED Press Americans residing II
Paris or passing through the city OF
their way to and from America or Other
countries will appreciate the new pass
port bureau which has just been estab'
iished at No. 6S rue Pierre Charron.
The work incidental to the granting,
yisaeing and the making out of appliea
lions for passports from the department
OF state has become so great that Am.
bassador Sharp and Conseul-Generai
Thackaray decided that it should be unit
ed in one office. Thus the staff of the
embassy attached TO the passport depart
ment and that of the consulate general
which looked after the same work were
detached from the embassy and consulate
and quarters were engaged on the rue
Pierre Charron. Americans will not have
to travel to the embassy or the consulate
in the future, but, by calling at the rue
Pierre Charron, will receive attention
md be enabled to proceed on their jour
ney without delay, provided their papers
ire in order.
The bureau is under the direction OF
Mr.. Merriwether, formerly secretary OF
Embassy at Paris, and is handling about
100 applications, emergency passports

of Agriculture Urges in Be-
ginning Enterprise.

When flock of sheep appeared not
long ago on the green sward OF the
White House grounds, desire to match
the president. in helping to increa Sc
! the country's mutton and wool supply
was manifested by many persons whose
responsibility covered big lawns, golf
courses and city parks. Some of them
began to ask questions of the department
of agriculture.
In the opinion of officials of that de-
partment, which is charged with the
stimulation of the sheep industry, many
public parks, golf courses, and private
lawns in the country may be so situated
that they can profitably be made to
serve as grazing grounds for sheep 1t
ia believed that their use for grazing
sheep would have not only sentimental
value but a practical one Brit owners
and persons charged with the care of
such property are advised to investigate
the matter thoroughly before they en-
bark in the enterprise of raising sheep.
Sheep raising involves much more than
placing the animals in good pasture, the
specialists explain. 1t has its technical
side, and at present, when every pound
of wool and every pound of meat Is
needed, it is felt that experience bought at
the price of either wool or meat would
be too costly. The animal husbandry di
vision of the department will answer
requests for information from persons
who desire to raise sheep, and has
number of publications on the subject
available for free distribution.
