donation to this relief fund, and the
greater part of it comes from outside
of Madison.

wild me-. A snow filled sky and n

leaving a three inch mantle of flaky
crystals over the whole section. Many

are still on and others are wishing
they had not planted their garden
quite so early. The morning trains

men reporting a heavy storm farther
north and west.
