KhOLCQr Diamonds Jewelry THE TEEEOE OP THE PLAINS, t A Wild Western Blizzard and Its Pear ful De3tructi7eness. A man just in from Fort Nio brara was warming himself over a register in the Sherman House one afternoon. "You people in this part of the country," he said, "have little idea of the terrors of a blizzard oh the plains. Out where I came from one of these storms means death to man and beast. Nothing can live in the blinding, piercing gale. The bliz zard in western Kansas and Ne braska and Dakota about ten days ago was as disastrous to human life as any we had last winter. It burst upon the country with a fierceness seldom equalled in that land of elemental disturbances. The ranges were p"Ld high with drifting snow, and cattle, becom ing confused in the flying crystals, perished in their tracks. "One of the melancholy inci dents of the storm was the loss of a very pretty 3Toung woman the belle of a Dakota village. She had just left her home for the purpose of relieving a poor family who were in distress, when the blizzard roared up on her. Losing her way in the darkness and whirling snow, she fell from exhaustion and was not found until her hands and feet were to badly frozen that am putation was resorted to to save her life. When I left the country the unfortunate girl was lving at the point of death. "Another sad incident of the storm was tho loss of two children who were at play in the outskirts of a Nebraska town. The blizzard swept them from the face of the earth as completely as though they had been swallowed up. As soon as they were missed 200 men and boys set out in the teeth of the gale to rescue them. They searched the country over, but not a ves tige of the little fellows could be found. It is not unlikely that the blizzard picked them up and bore them a long distance from the spot where they were last seen at play. "There were many other fatali ties which I cannot now recall, but which were fully as melancholy as the one I have described. Noth ing can compare with the fury o one of our blizzards. It stop one's breath, inflames the eye-.ni roars in your ears until you think your head will surely split. The flying snow which pelts you in the face, stings like so many needles, and nearlv drives vou mad with pain, lour legs grow weak, nau sea adds to your misery, and, final ly, when life ceases to .be worth battling for, you fall to the gronnd and slowly freeze to death." Chi cago Herald. The Rapidity of Progrcbs Toward Health. Even when a good remedy for disease is se lected, depends In some measure upon the manner in which It is taken. Inegular, in terrupted doses can afford no fair test of the efficacy of any medicine, however sa'u tary.

The National board of trade to-day dis cussed the resolution favoring gov ernment aid for the improvement of the Columbia river. Senater Dolph, of Oregon, spoke in favor of it. The resolution was rejected. A resolution was submitted by the Cincinnati chamber of com merce asking congress to consider the feasibility of converting a hun dred million of the present bonded debt into long term bonds bearing interest at the rate of two per cent, per annum with a view to use them as security of the national government for de posits and other forms of trust. After brief discussion it was adopted. A resolution to the effect that it is the most imperative duty im posed on congress to adopt a meas ure necessary to protect and forti fy the coast seaports of the country. That the defense of the harbors of New York and San Francisco he the work first undertaken, as they 'nvolve the largest risks and are least protected of all larger cities. Adopted. A Statement Prom 0. P. Huntington. New York,' Jan. 21. U. P. Hunt ington said yesterday: "The pur chase of the Oregon & California will not involve the issue of any new Central Pacific stock. The amount of Central Pacific stock now outstanding is 100,000,000 Some of this outstanding stock, now in the treasury, will be used to buy the Oregon & California road." Delicate persons, pnd all whose .sys tems have become debilitated, should bear in mind that Simmons Liver Regu lator is not a drastic, pinging medicine, does not weaken or deplete the system as other purgatives do, but acts gently. It will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is no intoxicating beverage to lead to i:ttempparncc:viil promote digestion, dissipate headache, and generally tone up the svsteni. Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, of G.i., says: "Simmons Liver Regulator is mild and suits me better than more active rem edies."

I have been practicing medicine for twentv vears. and have never been able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu lator, prompdy and effectively move the Liver to action, uid at the same time aid (instead of weak, ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the sjstem.
