In Minnesota and Dakota the Cold
Weather Continues, With Loss v
of Life and Stock.
Tacoma, Nov. 29. The present cold
snap holds the record for November.' It
also holIs the record for the longemcob
tinued cold spell, and the snow in West
. er Washington is deeper and dryer than
ever known before. - Another new told
weather record has been established for
Commencement bay, as, for several
miles from shore it is covered with a
thick coating of ice. JuBt how thick,
may be understood when the steamer
Aberdeen was prevented from making
her regular landing at the wharf on ac
count of her inability to break a Chan
nel through the ice. The steamer Flyer,
the fastest boat on the Pacific coast, had
to back nearly a mile to clear the ice
floe, before taking her course.
Captain Clayton and his wife started
ont for their ship in one of the ship
boats, pull d by four strong sailors, and,
after battling with the ice for over an
hour, had to abandon the attempt.
Captain Biiiley. of the Drumrock,
Started a boat away from his ship to he p
break a passage through the ice, so that
Captain , Clayton and his wife "could
bring their boat alongside the Drumrock.
This is certainly something new, or
there is no record that can be found to
ebow that the salt water bays of the
Sound haye ever frozen over before.
Reports are coming in from all sec
tions of the Sound of great damage done
by frost to the root and fruit crops, by
reason of their being no way to stow it
away. Many of the larmers living in the
valleys bad taken np only as much of
their crop as they had immediate sale
for, and for convenience had left the
rest of the crop in the ground. In all
such cases, the farmer will lose every
thing, for the frost has gone in the
ground in many cases 18 to 20 inches.
Considering the amount of snow . that
has fallen, and the great number of peo
ple who have taken advantage of it to
go coasting in Tacoma and Seattle, in
many cases down dangerously steep
bills, there have been but few accidents
.during the past week, and the sum total
of accidents tor the week does not
amount to more than four or five cases
of broken arms and legs-, which, consid
ering the large number out, and the dan
gerous proximity of the coasting grounds
to street and railroad traffic, is remark
able. Crops In Danger.
Salem, Or., Nov. 29. The cold spell
it not yet over in Salem. The thermo
meter was within 14 degrees below zero
this morning. The countinuanceof cold
weather arouse fears foV the potato crop
and fall-sown grain, The upland potato
crop that has not been dug ie probably
safe. In the overflowed lands along the
river and creek bottoms, it is feared the
crop will be damaged by the freeze. The
surface of the ground is frozen dry and
if a snow should fall or the cold snap
break np at once, wheat would not be
injured. : But if .thaws and freezes
should alternate, the tender roots would
be frozen out of the ground.
It has been several years since skating
-was good in Salem, and everybody who
delights in the sport availed himself of
the excellent oppportunity yesterday and
today. There iabundance of ice cover
ing the still waters and the sloughs, and
lakes have been liberally patronized.

the track to a depth of 50 feet. A coal
famine prevails at Bismarck, and there
will be much suffering unless relief is
afforded at once. No services were held
in the churches today and the fuel on
hand was distributed among the poor.-

passenger train from the West since
Thursday arrived tonight. Railroad
officials expect to start trains east Mon

reported, but stockmen expect to hear
of great losses of cattle, as the storm
must have caught many ranchers un
prepared.

Pbnsacola, Fla.i Nov. 29. It is ru
mored in military circles that the troops
of the First artillery, now stationed at
various posts on the Gulf and Atlantic
coast, are to be concentrated here for
practice -with the modern heavy guns,
which will soon be in position on Santa
Rosa island. y.. ,,,
The selection of a site for another bat
tery leaves no doubt in the minds of
military men that Pensacola is to be
heavily fortified as rapidly as possible,
and as the troops need practice in the
handling of the modern guns, the har
bor is deemed by military men to be
the best that could be selected for the
purpose. They would have the open
gulf for target practice, and at least
1000 men can be porr fort ably quartered
at Fort Barrancas and the navy yard.

Dallas Official's Tough Experience With
Thieves.
Dalles, Tex,, Nov. 29. At midnight,
five pistol shots in rapid succession in
the vicinity of the courthouse attracted
the police to that building. W. E. Coe,
county treasurer, was found in his office
with blood oozing frorra wound in the
back of the head. He was in a dazed
condition and in a very excited frame of
mind. He said he had been working
very late in order to get the affairs of the
office in shape to retire in favor of his
successor. At midnight, two men ap
peared, and one place! a gun to his tem
ple and ordered him to open the vault.
He did so, and all the valuable papers
and contents of the inner vault were ex
amined by one of the robbers. ' After
placing a considerable sum of money in
a canvass sack, the robbers withdrew
from the vault. Coe seized his pistol
and shot at the robbers. The latter re
turned the fire, hitting the treasurer in
the back of the head, inflicting a bad
scalp wound. The treasurer says the
robbers secured $6000, and he is confi
dent that he shot -and badly wounded
one of his assailants. The police force
and a large number of deputies with
bloodhounds are on the trail of the rob
bers. Due to Knsslan Influence.

not showing more energy with a view to
obtaining the privileges granted to the

BURNED LTitE FIRE
Speedily Cured by
CUTICURA REMEDIES
I was a sufferer for eight years from that
most distressing of all diseases. Eczema, but
can now say tru hfully that 1 am entirely
cured. I tried some of the best physicians
in the 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, thou they would peel
olY,leaving a red, smooLh surface which would
burn like tire and itch ; well, there is no name
for it. Ou the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as I became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night I would lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of
Cutiouka remedies, got a box of Cuticcba
(ointment), a bottle of Ccticuua Hksolvekt
(blooil purifieri, and, gave 'them a thorough
trial, an after a few applications I noticed
the redness and inflammation disappear: be
fore t had rued one boz there team not " of
Eczema left. I can truthfully asser; if-at g 2.00
worth of Cotiocba Remedies cured me. Any
one I meet who has Eczema, I do not hesitate
a moment in recommending yonr remedies.
