While «c write these items the wind is blo.vidg apparently at the rate of ’steen miles a minute and it is so cold that people have to have clothes aljoct the stove to keep warm and the school authorities are talking of dismissing school.

Another consolation we have is that there is no immediate danger of a southwind, be cause at the rate it is going to the south east it would not seem possible for it to stop this side of Kansas City and could not possibly regain con sciousness and get back here in lesa than three days.
