CHICAGO , Oct. 17. The strong wind and
rain storm that prevailed today played havoc
with the peace jubilee and arches and deco
rations. Six of the arches were blown down
and badly damaged.
Three persons were struck by pieces of
wreckage and seriously Injured. Flags and
streams of bunting , with which the down
town buildings were decorated , weio torn
away by the wind. It Is hardly probable
that the arches will bo replac-jd. Street car

yitfiir In the Uxpoiil-
tluii City.
If It had been March 17 Instead of October
17 Oinahaus would not have wondered BO
much at the storm that broke over the ex
position city yesterday. As It was they
could not understand why the weather
bureau , so generous during the previous ex
istence of the exposition , should make the
start ot Its last fortnight so Inauspicious.
Some suggested that It was all because
Chief Moore of the weather bureau had been
robbed of 558 while In the city last week ,
but his friends said ho was not a. revenge
ful man.
"Guess the North Dakota folks brought
their weather with them" was the jnos
familiar remark heard about town during
the day. But Colonel Lounsbury of the
North Dakota commission resented this ,
saying : "This weather Is three months
ahead of our game. " It was considerably
ahead of the game Usually played here
abouts and caught the street car company
with open cars and lots of the citizens with
summer underwear. No ono was expecting
such a storm In the middle of October and
the exposition visitors who had been In-
vlted here by their Omaha friends smiled
(
and said : "Ough , I thought you said October
was your balmy month. Do you call these
balmy zephyrs , " raeanwhllo brushing the
snow off their faced and using both bands
to hold on their bats.
The storm was reported about fitly miles
to the ea t and fifty miles tp the west of
Omaha , while It pursued Its way up and
down the banks of the Missouri river un
known distances. U seemed as though the
storm king , anxious to do tomethlng for the ,
expedition before Its close , had sent his very
fiercest brand driving down the Missouri
valley. Suow fell with Increasing fury
throughout the day and those who In the
morning predicted a clear afternoon were
given the merry laugh later lu the day.
The thermometer ranged In the Immediate
neighborhood of 32 degrees above zero near
ly all day , but the way some pedestrian *
shivered one would have thought the mer
cury bad touched zero.
Vlnltom Come Anyhovr.
J The expoiltlon visitors didn't stop coming
Into the city just on account of the storm.
It never caused them to hesitate In their
rush to the grounds. All of the Omaha
terminal railroads did a profitable amount
of passenger traffic and moat of them
brought In their trains surprisingly close to
schedule time , The two telegraph compa
nies , the telegraph department ] of the rail
road companies and of the newspapers , the
telephone company and the fire and police
alarm Bjutem were seriously Interfered tUth
by tbo stonu and by lust night hhd mad *
but little prpgress In securing communica
tion over their respective wires. The strept
car , system.as knocked out yesterday
morning ; ! residents .of , , ' the Hanscam ' , pajk
dfstrjgt waiting from j'unjj s'.l a.np.rfor
a. car to como Mown town. Later In the day
better service was offered. The summer
cars had their blinds pulled down and their
lights turned on , but even then the pas
sengers complained that things .were not sq
warm. It was hard work tp get a coal ofllco
In the city on the 'phono as everyone In
town seemed to Jjo ordering coal about thq
same time.
The wind began blowing from the north
on Saturday evening , and the mercury
dropped several degrees. During that night
a rain set In which continued until nearly
Sunday noon. It was cloudy all day Sunday ,
thp wind continuing to tylow from the north ,
and during that night the rain turned into
a snow. The thermometer showed 32 .de
grees at 7 o'clock yes.ter.day morning , the first ,
time tuls _ season ' that'a freezing niaflij , hjis
been shown. Th'ls Is also the inajlt at whlcji
a killing frost Is.recorded , although , owjng
to the wind and clouds , there was no frost
last night. The average date for the flrst
killing frost Is September 21 , so that ot this
year Is about onp month late.
Cut Oil TelCKriipll.
The snow was so heavy as to cutoff all
telegraphic communication with Chicago ,
and the waather1 office had' received no' reports - '
ports from Che north and northwest at 11
o'clock. Of the reports received , ' North
Platte showed a temperature of 34 , with no
precipitation and clearing weather- ; Dodge
City , Kan' , , had 32 degrees , with a killing
frost ; ; Santa Fe had 34 degrees , a killing
frost and clear weather ; Cheyenne , Denver
and Pueblo each had 26 degrees , with clear
weather , and Sioux City reported a forty-
mile wind and cloudy weather.
The coldest October shown In the record
of twenty-eight years in the local weather
office was In 1873. when the mean tempera
ture was 48 ; the lowest temperature re-
coided In the month during that period Was
1C degrees on October 25 , 1887 , and the
heaviest snow for the month was four and
one-half Inches on October 29 , 1894.
The wind during the morning was so
strong It kept the air filled with fine par
ticles of snow , nt times almost blinding the
vision. The snow melted about as soon as
It struck the ground except In the most ex-
posedi places on the northwest side. The
sidewalks became ladened with slush and
the streets were wet. While traveling was
disagreeable , the weather was not uncom
fortably cold"although the wind was out-
ting when one had to face it.
The unexpected snow storm hit the army
posts in the Department of the Missouri
very hard. With the volunteer soldiers
equipped only with summer clothing they
wcro in no condition to meet the cold
v eather. The Second Nebraska regiment ,
stationed nt Fort Omaha , Is better off than
moat of the volunteers' located In this de
partment , as they are able to enjoy the sh'el-
, ter of substantial barracks. Yesterday mornIng -
Ing Quartermaster Baxter of the Department
of the Missouri sent out several stoves to
Fort Omaha and had them put up In the
barracks to keep the boys warm. Theother
military posts In this department at which
volunteer troops arc now located are as fol
lows : Kansas City , two regiments of In
fantry ; Jefferson Barracks , Mo. , two regi
ments of Infantry and one battery of artil
lery ; Des Molnes , two regiments of Infan
try ; Fort Logan A. Roots , one regiment of
Infantry ; Fort Lcavennortb , two regiments
of Infantry. ,
There was a disturbance.pf the telephone
lines It , several parfBof the city yester
day that caused aringing , of the bells In
a number of tua.otU . Buildings. The fire
alarm system was badly hampered. At
Twelfth and Mason streets .the , weight of the
enow pulled the electric llgU | wires dawu
so that they crossed ) telephone vires
and a force ot five , men , \was n > , ulred to
repair the damage. Thejliepc"tori > we

In the supernatural.

"Men believed In "miracles. What Is a
miracle ? A miracle Is an act performed
br a mastdr of nature without regard to
the facts In nature. It a man could make
a stone fafllng decrease In ratio as It approached
preached ( he ground , that would bo a
miracle in chemistry ; Uf he could make
a -perfect circle , that Tvould bo a miracle In
ccometry ; If he could-moko twice four nine ,
that would 'bo a miracle In mathematics ; If
an orthodox minister could proVe his creed ,
that'Wouiaf'ho a mlraUe In theology. Mir
acles arc not only Impossible , but they are
unthinkable to any mliyl capable of think
ing. I have neVer fdund In any religion aGed
God of sense described. No man now In
whom the torch of reason burns believes In
signs.
Air Full-of UcvllM.
"If the Old Testament be true , the air Is
full of devils. John Wesf6y was right when
ho said'You give up" * witchcraft and you
give up the Bible' . ' It was not God's plan
to develop the huma'n brain so that man
would comprehend between right and wrong.
Where Is heaven- and where Is hell ? No
ono knows. The telescope has taken away'
the ancient heaven the Now Jerusalem
and the revolving world has quenched the
HameS of the ancient hell. The evidences
of the existence of a.God and the existence
of a. devil are- exactly the same ; they ore
both references ; each one Is a 'perhaps. '
They have not been seen ; they have not
ventured on the horizon of the senses.
"I do not thank God for the victory at
Manila. I thank Do.wey the bravest ad
miral that ever trod a.deck. I thank the
bravo men and officers under him ; I do not
thank God. 1 do notthankGod for the de
struction of Cervcra's 'fleet. I thank the

perfume of that flower. Give the heroes the

CIIUNC of SniitlnK" Victory.
"I do not believe that any God gave us the
victory at Santiago,1 and I will tell you why.
Spain flt ono time owned half the gold of
the world. At.Chat time the nations were
In the darkness of superstition , and Spain
had her creed.'Some najlopa.began to think ;
Spain continued to believe. Someof the
themselves In scl- ,
nations T > egatr to Interest
cnco ; Spain Cold her beads and prayed to
the Virgin. Her prayers were never ans
wered. Some of the nations entered the
dawn of a new day , but Spain loved the
blessed mater. Other nations grew great ;
Spain grew small. Day by day her power
.waned , but her ' faith Increased. Ono by ono
nor colonies' , werei lost , but she kept her
cred. . She gave hex gold to superstition ,
her brain to prles'fs , but she counted her
beads. Only a few. dajru ago , blessed by her
priests , she waged wa.c' against the great re
public. Bishops blessed her armies and
sprinkled holy wafer on her ships. But her
armies wefo defeated , her ships beached and
burned. The guns , had been sprinkled with
holy water and tho'gunners banged away and
left'it t the Holy Ghost to give proper di
rection. She sued , for peace , but she still
has her creed ; her superstition Is not lost.
"Superstition ever has been , ever will be ,
the enemy of liberty. It Is the enemy of sci
ence. Superstition created all the gods and
all the angels and all the devils.
"All things have been believed except the
things that appeal to the senses of living
man. The foundation of superstition Is Ig
norance. It Is the mother of all misery. The
Imagination never can paint the agonies that
have been endured by reason of supersti
tion. "
