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.

BURHEDLIKE FIRE 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. form f had wed one hn-e Ihere, .van not " t.- ot Eczema left.
