abated and the

j The city was isolated as far as
itravel was concerned, only one. train
over the Burlington reaching here
during the day. that being a special
section of No. 4 made up in Omaha
and bringing the newspapers and
'mail from Omaha on to this city to
connect with the east and southern
'mail over the K. C at Pacific June-
tion.
The heavy snow of the pa3t week I
n'aa' blocked the highways leading to
ine Clly anu lue storm or oaturuay
and Sunday served to intensify this
condition cf affairs and made it im
possible to get any distance with a
car during the day.
The cold wave taxed the diminish
ing coal supplies of many who had
been chuckling up their sleeve in the
belief they had enough to last them
thru the winter, and not a few were
forced to send out the "S. O. S." call
for re-inforcement8.
No. 6, the Chicago-Denver train
due here from the west at 8:14 a.
m. over the Burlington, was all day
fighting its way through the snow
and wind and reached Plattsmouth
about 9 o'clock last night, while the
train service ov.er the Missouri Pa
cific was also badly crippled.
The storm was accompanied by a
temperatnre of 12 below zero, and
this morning while the wind and
snow wa3 abated, the mercury show
ed nine degrees below zero.

Previous action of the board rela
tive to financial assistance to the
state received favorable support. The
initial campaign was more expensive
than anticipated by state officers
and the various counties at that time
were not called upon to bear their
just portion of the expense, which
caused a deficit.
The auditor's report shows that
Otoe county was one of the seven
highest (out of 44) in the state as
far as expenditure for membership
was concerned and the local board

felt justified in remitting 51 per
