THE BLIZZARD REIGNS
Fearfnl Suffering in the
Northwestern States.
MANY LIVES . REPORTED LOST
Cattle Bnrled to Snow Drifts. Trains
Delay id ud Wires Prostrated -on
the Fralries.
St. Paci,, Nov. 28. Human beings
have been frozen to death, cuttle have
been stampeded, bruised and smothered
in enow drifts ; trains are delayed, wires
are down and the November storm rec
ord is broken by the blizzard tbat holds
the NorthweBt locked in its chilly grasp.
Hov ma.iy lives have been sacrificed
cann t be told until the snow drifts clear
away, months hence. ' Men are missing
everywhere in the heart of the storm.
Some are known to be dead, and many
are missing, with the chances very much
against them being alive. Those dead
and misciug are: .
Thomas Anderson, 18 years old, lost in
the enow near Moor head, Minn.
F. M. Burrows, mail agent, lost in the
etorm at Devil's Lake, N. D.
Prank Stack, of Chicago, frozen to
death near Fargo, N. D.
Two unindent'fied men, found frozen
to death near Fargo, N. D.
Three missing men, lost in the snow
near Fargo.
From the cattle country in the west
ern part ni North Dakota come reports
of intense suffering of the livestock on
the ranges, but no definite information
can be had, as the wires are down.
Watson Ball, a cattleman, says the losses
will be extremely heavy. -
Sooth Dakota is suffering, too. At
Pierre over "'eight inches of enow fell
daring Thursday and 1 Friday, and the
wind maintained an average velocity of
23 miles an hoar. Wires were down
must of the time, and trains and street
cars were tied up. The first train to
move west went out about noon today
with a snowplow.
Snow on the prairie drifted badly, and
cattle lobses are being reported. It was
the worst storm lor years.
Some ot the transcontinental railroads
centering at St. Paul resumed their
. through service today. The w'nct hav
ing abated, they were able to send ont
rotaries and enow plows, and expected
that within six hours they would be
'aMe to send their traffic through in
good shape, provided no serious damage
has been sustained by their tracks.
' Wires are still in bad shape, and it is
impossible to get definite reports regard
ing conditions in certain sections, but
the railway set large bodies, of compe
tent men to work and made rapid pro
gress. From alt reports received there
seems to be nothing to contend with ex
cept immense snow banks, which, how
ever, the rotaries can easily remove.
From latest reports it is safe to pre
dict that tomorrow 'everything will be
.moving pretiy well, though not on
schedule time. .
Stock Suffering; in Nebraska. -
Omaha, Nov. 28. Severe weather
continues to prevail throughout Nebras
ka.. The thermometer has been close to
zero for thirty-six hours.' In the west
ern part of the state a high wind pre
vails. In some sections stock is report
ed as suffering' (or want of food and
water. The immense supply of grain
and bay in Nebraska, where it is availa
ble, enables feeders to carry cattle with
out trouble. Railroad trains are being
Operated on many, roads without wires,

sirable, he wonld see that it was ar
ranged constitutionally. Referring to

of Rhodesia was proposed, and assured
his hearers that the mining interests of
the country would be fostered.

Speedily Cured by
CUTICURA REMEDIES
I was a sufferer for eight years from that
most distressing of all diseases, Kczeina, but
can now say tru hfully that 1 am entirely
cured. I tried some of the best )bysiciaus
in tha country, but they' did me little good.
The palms of my hands were covered, and
would become inflamed: little white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would
burn like nre and itch ; welt, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red bloicln s not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as I became
warm, the burning- and itching would begin.
Might after night I wonld lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of
CutiourV remedies, got a box of Cctjcttua
(ointment), a bottle of CtrricunA Kesolvest
(blool purifiers and gave them a thorough
trial, and after a few applications 1 noticed
the redness anrj inflammation disappear: be.
