the morning would amount to
practically nothing1 while the coat of
gangs to clean tracks and ( the tremen

day In the "history of the company.
Service on all line during the day has
been Irrtg-uiar, anil the company baa no
hope of keeping to schedules until many
hours after the wind subsldea.
Teams made their way through the
streets with ' difficulty. Several ' small
wagons were tipped over cither by wind
or running Into other vehicles. Transfer
companies put on two and three teams to
got their trucks through the dlrfta. Coal
wagons, needed more than on any day dur
ing the month, fowght their way through
the streets with three-horse teams and de
liveries were made possible only because
Omaha dealers have. yards scattered over
the entire city.
Downtown atorca looked deserted at noon.
At the store, of J. L. Brandeis & Sons,
where hundreds of girls are employed, the
average clerk arrived at 9 o'clock. Some
did not get down before 11 o'clock. At the
store of the Bennett Company girls arrived
at all time up until noon, few reaching
the store before 9 o'clock. There was no
trade. It was a gloomy day Inside, The

modern building with lodging; department.
MAYOR RIDES. ON MILK WAGON
Most of the War He Foots It Thrnnrk
the Snow.
All the way from the mayor of the city
town to the boy who runs the' elevator in
:he city building, officers, deputies, clerks
tnd employes of the city, almost to jk
nan walked down town Tuesday morning,
His Honor heading the procession. The
mayor got to his office at an early hour,
owing to an accommodating milkman who
gave him a lift, though he stood on the
corner for a half hour, waiting for a car,
he says, before It dawned upon Mm that
his legs were the surest means of locomo
tion. City Building Inspector Wlthnell was the
only official who rode to his office on a
street car, but he waited until the middle
of the forenoon before he came down.
City Electrician Mlchaelson was another
who rode to his office, succeeding In getting
a cab to go after him. Superintendent of
Schools Davidson owhs bis own horse and
drove to his office, taking pity on one or
two pretty school ma'ams he chanced to
overtake on the way and taking them on
down town.
None of the city officials had any harrow
ing tales to tell of their experiences with
the snow storm on Tuesday. They seemed
to think It was fun and vied with the
youngsters In making paths.
MOST OP SCHOOLS ARB DISMISSED
All Student Hnve Strennone Time la
Reaching; Bnlldlngra. .
Principal Waterhouse of the high school
decided soon after 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning that It would be best not to hold
school, as the irregular oar service and
severe weather , had. prevented many stu
dents from attending. Also Colonel Welsh's
forecast hinted that conditions might be
som worse during the day. -
Superintendent Davidson dismissed prac
tically all the public sohools.
Practically all the teachers arrived at the
high school building on time and quite a
number of pupils from Dundee, Walnut
Hill and tha park district had walked all
or a part of the way. .
The privilege of studying In the sohool
library was granted by the school authori
ties to those pupils who did not care to re
turn home on account of the distance. A
number of other students also remained at
the building to work; in the manual train
ing and drawing departments. The boys'
octet held a special practice.
All schools in the city had slight at
tendances. Many of the lower grades were
entirely, deserted.
SOME STATISTICS ON STORMS
Thirteen Ineh.ee of Snow In February
Throe Tear Agro.
On February 15, 1905, there was thirteen
inches of now on the ground throughout
eastern Nebraska, but it was the accumu
lated depth for the month and does not,
therefore, take rank wtth the present snow
In point 'of precipitation.
The heaviest single snowfall preceding
this one for twenty years was on Feb-
ruary , ISM, when a depth of eight Inches
was attained. On January 10-11. 1906, there
was a snowfall of seven and one-half
Inches. During the month ef January, 18SG,
eighteen inches fell, but this covered the
entire month. On February 1. 1906, there
wae eight Inches of snow on the ground,
which was increased to thirteen Inches by
the 15th of that month.
In the month of January, 1888. the month
of the great billiard, but five and one-half
inches of snow fell in this vicinity, while

TRAINS rLOW TIIROVCII STORM
At Least Two Ortrlanita from West
Come In on Time.
i Train No. 13 on the Vnlon Pacific and
So. r on the Burlington, botn coming from
as far west as Denver, probably made as
good records as any In the storm. They
got Into their respective depots In Omaha
on time Tuesday morning. They plowed
through the blinding, beating snow and
wind across the entire state of Nebraska,
and when they steamed Into the long pas
senger sheds here even- -Hie depot attaches
expressed surprise. . .
"We- first encountered the storm at
Akron, Colo.," said the conductor on No.
13, "and from then on it was a terrlflo
fight, but our engine men made the fight
and here we are. on time. We have not
had such a difficult storm to breast for a
long time and you may be sure It required
every resource of our old train to pull
through-:"
"From Hastings in was our worst." said
the conductor on the Burlington No. 6. We
thought many tlmea we would at least
miss schedule, to ssy no more."
Neither train encountered any accidents
as a result of the weather.
No. 4 on the BuriliHrton got In from the
west on time until R struck (He outside
limits of the Omaha yards, and there It
stuck for an hour and a half, unable to
come further, after suoh a grand fight
for the long trip, until It got under a
greater head of ateam. No. 19 on tho
Burluigton had a hard time getting out of
the yarda on Its Journey west. The Burling
ton trains aa a whole made excellent time
under the circumstances. The second morn
ing train to Lincoln was late In getting
started, but very little. .
No. 1, Overland Limited, westbound at
8:60, was long delayed on account of the
general tardiness of the train from the
"east. They were, on all Unas, late aa a
general thing. The wind and snow com
ing across Iowa were reported terrific.
Traveling, Judging from the sparse num
ber of tourists In the depots, waa reduced
to tha minimum.
Large crews of men were busy in. the
morning at Union, Burlington and Webster
street stations, cleaning away tha embank
ments of snow. Wheelbarrows with strong
armed men back of them, were pressed Into
Commission, and theme waa plenty of snow
to keep the army bus throughout tho day.
At Union station, under the long pnssenger
sheds on the south sldo of the depot, the
wind had sent the snow cleas back against
the building, and this had to be disposed of
before traffic could be moved at all. The
tracks, too, were literally lost, and It waa
Imperative to clear them at once and keep
them clear.
Incoming and standing trains, pouring
great clouds of steam and smoke Into the
snow-driven air, put up an Impenetrable
cloud, through which It waa Impossible at
tlmea to see. This constituted a danger
against which depot workmen had to guard
with apeclal caution. '
One affecting scene wag enacted over
at ttte Burlington depot, In front of an ex
press office. Six thoroughbred hogs that
had recently taken premiums at some live
stock exhibit, were left out In their latticed
pen to stand the storm. They were stand
ing It. but Joe Mtk, who is an expert on
hogs, said they wouldn't stand it long, and
two sturdy men hustled them Inside, where
the storm was not.
BAD DAY FOR ORANGE! BLOSSOMS
One Blows In from California with
Good Gaet of Wind.
An orange blossom blew Into Omaha
Tuesday morning. It seemed to come
right on the nose of a great gust of wind
that ushered Into Union station an over'
land train from California.
Did It wither? Well!
"Ho, ho, ho, ho, and her we be In
Omaha, dear old Omaha, but dearest old
San Diego," shouted a little man who
came tumbling and tugging through the
wind and snow from the train Into the
cosy depot.
In the vernacular of the street he was
a "dead, game sport." But at that he
didn't like the weather In Nebraska.
"Say, white man," he said, turning to a
negro hustler around the depot, "do you
Jiave this sort of weather here right along,
or Is this some you have fixed up Just on
account of my comlngT"
"Thl ain't my weathah; I didn't know
you wus a-comin'," replied the negro, be
stowing upon the blossom one of those
sardonic smiles which royalty sometimes
deigns to give to the commons.
"Oh, you can't freeze me with that sort
of talk," said the little man from the
tropics. - "It this weather can't frees me,
I'm certain you can't."
.The little man was bound for his home
In Massachusetts. He had spent the win
ter by the Pacific, seaside, or thought he
had. But when he got to Omaha he found
lout that he had had a bad dream. He
pined to go back to those dear old sun
klsBed shores of San Diego.
TELEGRAPH WIRES ALL RIGHT
Postal and Western Union Report No
Trouble at All.
"We are the happiest people in the world,
as full of Joy as the air Is of snow," said
Manager Umsted of the Western Union
Guess?
Manna
when asked how the storm was treating
his company. "In no place In this entiro
district Is there any trouble. Although the
snnw was gome lint Wet last night. It did
not seem to stick to the wire. The only
chance of trouble 1s from the wind, and We
are not locking for any from that quar
ter." The Omaha Jurisdiction extends as far
west aa Denver and Cheyenne and south
Into Oklahoma and north to the Dekotaa.
"No troubles at all," wss the answer of
Manager Williams of the Postal Telegraph
company. "We would not know there was
a storm raging from any difficulty We- are
having with the wires between Chicago
and Denver."
STRAV FLAKES CAUGHT H WIffD
Incidents that Wouldn't Have Hap
pened In Fair Weather.
Delegations from Salvation Army head
quarters were sent out during Tuesday to
look after tho needs of storm belcagured
destitute families.
Appeals for help poured" Into the offlco
of the Asnoclutcd Charities all day Mon
day, the poorer people finding It Impossible
to cope with the storm with Insufficient
supplies of fuel and provisions.
One of the comical sights was that of
an Ice cream wagon stalled In a snow bank.
Of course ice cream is all right at any
stage, but the sight of a wagon stalled on
such a day caused the weary pedestrians
to stop and wonder.
The stret car company had evidently an
ticipated the storm the night before and
sent men out to scatter fenders along the
various lines for it was common for car
men to replace a broken fender with a
good one picked uo on the sidewalk.
The fire department took early precau
tions. The men at each of the barps were
at work early with big home made snow
scoops to which one of the horses was
hitched and a large space In front of each
barn and leading to the nearest street car
track waa cleared to give free course In
case of an alarm.
Owing to the storm Monday night the
night force of operators of the Nebraska
Telephone company was entertained at the
Merchants hotel. It Is the intention of the
Nebraska Telephone company to care for
the day operating force until the storm
abates sufficiently to permit the young
women to reach theln homes.1
Even the applicants for assistance from
tbe county were snowbound Tuesday morn
ing and but one order of groceries went
out during the forenoon. This was to
Mrs. Frank Berry, who made application
for assistance Monday, saying her hus
band had been ablo to earn only $18 In
tHree months. . Through the Associated
Charities Mr. Berry has been furnished
transportation to Cincinnati, where he has
relatives. He will send for his 'family
later. In the meantime the county will
furnish provisions for the family.
One of the truly amusing features of the
snow was the way a stout woman got
stuck In the snow at Twenty-fourth and
Farnam streets. She alighted from a west
bound car and landed In two feet of snow
which had been piled up by the street car
sweepers and by some Industrious peison
who had cleaned the walk., Some good Sa
maritans came along and lifted her Into
fair ground.
An avalanche of snow falling from the
roof of the five-story Nebraska Clothing
company building on Farnam and Fif
teenth streets completely burled a small
newsboy standing on the .corner, papers
and all, Tuesday morning. The snow being
light. It was easily brushed off and the
youngster emerged none tho worse for
hla experience, with the exception that his
mouth was ao full of the beautiful that he
waa unable to yell "Extree". for a few
minutes.
"Old- Jack," -one'of the -oldest drivers' In
Omaha, now with. Wells-Fargo,. the Union
Pacific, and the Harney stables, was ausy
man Tuesday morning. With a one-horse
sleigh he got out at 6 o'clock and began
supplanting street cars and other vehicles
that couldn't go. He made 118 up to 8
o'clock. Among other passengers he hauled
five policemen, one at a time, out to the
Drummy house for the funeral. On his re
turn trips he delighted t,o pick up school
girls or women who couldn't otherwise
plow through the snow.
Several automobile dealers who thought
to show the virtue and power of their
machines came to grief. A machine would
slide along all right until it would strike
a depth of snow which formed a bank In
front of the whole machine and then all
was over Several automobiles were
stranded on Farnam street and nothing
but the patience of the slow troddlng pedes
trians were able to extricate them. It was
no uncommon sight to see a dozen foot
passengers surround a stranded automobile
and push it into the clear of the street car
tracks.
"Children, you will certainly have to get
along with what's In the house today," said
an elderly matron as her grown-up family
was gathered around the breakfast table.
"I-surely will not ask the grocery to send
a boy and wagon out In this storm when
there Is no need of It and we can squeeze
through with what we have on hand."
That was the way many families looked at
the situation. While it waa not cold v and
the travelers were in no immediate danger
from perishing In the drifts, still with the
high wind it was about as disagreeable
a day as one could Imagine.
BUSIEST DAY OX THE TELEPHONE
Everybody Transacting; Business Over
the Wire la Storm.
"Everybody seema to be staying at home
and trying to transact business by tele
phone," said Superintendent Kelly of the
Nebraska Telephone company. "I can't re
member when this exchange has had such
a busy day. Those who did succeed in
getting downtown are trying to use the
telephone as much as possible to save a
trip In the storm."
The telephone company experienced but
little wire difficulty because of the storm.
In Omaha and all through the state the
wires withstood the snow and wintry
blasts In splendid style. For such an enor
mous press of extra business the central
girls were responding with remarkable
promptness and usual courtesy.
The Independent Telephone company re
ported no damage or hindrance.
GUEST DIESJJN HIS HANDS

Dlrs. '"
8EATTLK. Wash., Feb. M. A special to
the Post-Intalllgencer from Neah Bay says
the crew of the Httlo six-ton sloop Teckla,
lying at anchor here, were startled last
night by a feeble hall from a steel lifeboat
drawing up slowly in thn light brecse. In
the boat were the forms of four men, three
living and one dead, survivors of the Anvr
lean ship, Emily Reed, wrecked off the
mouth of the Nehalenv river, on the coast
of Oregon, ano mllce from Neah Pay. The
men In the boat were:
. First Mate Fred Zube.
Seaman Ewald Ablldsted,.
,HeRinan Arthur Jahnke.
Ship's cook, name unknown.
The dead man, was tho sblps cook.
The three living survivors were In a piti
ful condition. Their tongues were swollen
from thirst, so that at first they could
scarcely, articulate. AU throe men were In
terrible condition front hunger and thirst,
for they had had no food since last Bun
day night, nor any water sinre they left
the wreck of the Reed, at 1:30 Friday morn
ing. Story of the Mate.
Mr. Zube said: '
"Almost the instant the Reed struck the
beach it began to break up. In a twinkling
one of the lifeboats was smashed by a
big wave and the decks, were so deep in
the boiling water that there waa no chance
to get aft whore Captain Kersel and his
wife, with some of the other members of
the crew, wcrp stationed. We Jumped Into
the remaining lifeboat and cut the laRhlngs.
Before we had completed the Job' a big sea
broke over the wrecjt and carried us clear
of the decks. ' "
"A strong current swept us toward the
stern of the wreck, where we could see
Captain kersel and the rest of the ship's
company clinging to the roof of the aft
house. We yelled to them to throw us a
line as we went under the stern and some
one threw one, : Vit It fell short of our
boat.
"My arm had been broken when the
wreckage from tho galley dropped onto ub
and there was' only one good oar, as the
other hart been broken and the spare oars
washed away. We , did our best to' get
back to the wreck," but the set of the under
tow carried us away. ' .
Steamers Sighted, Pass On.
"We tried to head, foe Tillamock light,
but we had no compass to steer by. When
morning broke, I found we were standing
far out to sea. I thought It best to keep
the boat well out, .hoping to fall Into the
path of steamships, , With this hope I get
the course northward along the coast.
"The second night out wo saw lights, but
It was too dark to.yenturo In. There was
neither food nor water and we suffered
terribly from thirst during Saturday. To
ward evening the cook declared he could
stand It no longer , and took a drink of
sea water. He soon becajne delirious.
"At about 2 o'clock, Sunday morning we
saw a big steamer. It stopped near us
and we all believed wc would be saved.
But the vessel got; under way again and
left us. The .cook fcftve up tho fight then.
He laid down in' thet, water .and In a few
minutes he waa c'ad;' ' i .
"About 7 'o'clock Sunday ' morning we
made out Tattoosh island. We were all too
tired to manage , the-Jjoat , very well, but
along toward Sunday afternoon I got It
headed, back toward Neah Bay. ,
"Sunday seemed the worst day we were
out. Wo kept seeing all sorts of vessels
passing back and forth, but none of them
would answer our halls. We were gener
ally too far off to bo made out plainly, I
guess."

C0NNELL ORDER
Suit Is Filed to Determine Validity
of Compulsory Vaccination
Decree.
The order of Hoalth Commissioner Con
nell forbidding children whfl have not been
vaccinated to attend the public schools Is
to be tested In the courts at last. Suit ask
ing for an Injunction to prevent the school
officials or the health commissioner from
enforcing the smallpox , order waa filed
Tuesday afternoon in district court Ty
Irenaeu p. A. Brucker. who wants the
officials specifically enjoined from forcing
his children to leave the Forest school.
Judge Kennedy declined 'to Issuo a re
straining order, but Instead ho Issued an
order to the authorities to come Into court
and show cause why the should hot be
enjoined. The hearing was set for Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock. .
Tho order Is directed to the members of
tho school board. Health Commissioner
Connell, Superintendent Davidson and Mrs.
Martha Chrlstlancy, principal of the Forest
schools
The petition filed by the plaintiff seta
forth several grounds, but the principal one
Is that neither the school board nor the
health commissioner haa a right to order
children from the public schools because
they are not vaccinated. It also denies there
Is an epidemic of smallpox In the city. The
ordinance providing that children who are
not vaccinated may bo ordered from the
Is invalid because It fs unreasonable and
Is IrT valid because It Is unreasonable and
against public policy.
It is pointed out that the schools are
opened by tho law, to all children between
the ages of 6 and 21 and that the legisla
ture has passed compulsory education laws
to compel the attendance of these children.
It Is contended neither the health com
missioner nor the school board has any au
thority to set asido the application of these
laws.
SHAW WOULD APPLY RR4KHS
Secretary Says It fa Time for Dispas
sionate View of Polities.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 18.-Leslle M. Shaw,
ex-secretary of the treasury, who arrived
here today to .address the Kansas City
Bar association tonight, gave' out a signed
statement to the Associated Press, In which
he declared a number of unauthorized re
ports had been published concerning his
Visit to Chicago yesterday. Mr. Shaw de
clared that politics had In no degree in
fluenced his visit to that city. He went
there, he said, "at no man's Instance and
In no man's Interest.". ' His visit, he said,
was on a mutter of personal business.
Mr. Shaw, In his statement, continues?1
I am not seeking to defeat any man's
nomination for the presidency. There Is not
a man whoso name Is mentioned who Is
not my personal friend and for whom I
would not cross the continent to bestow a
kindness. That I prefer some does not Im
ply that I would lift my hand against oth
ers. I am Intensely Interested In business con
ditions. The number of men out of employ
ment and the number soon to be dismissed
is to me alarming. The Interest of these
men and the effect of thir enforced Idle
ness upon business generally far transcends
any candidate's ambition.
1 wish that factiirmUlHin within the party
to which I belong might ceaso and that a
convention of broad-minded, patriotic, un
selflsh and unambitious men. unlnstructed
and unpledged, might gather in Chicago on
June 6, next, .and In the light, of conditions
as they then exiHt select a man who is be
lieved to be most likely to lead the party
to victory and whose election will best con
serve the moral and Industrial Interests of
the country the nominee of such a con
vention. If such a. convention can be held,
will be elected, whoever he may be, for
the party then will be united.' If there are
then as many men out of employment as
there were In June. 1890, the party will
probably take cognizance of the fact and
govern Itself accordingly unless instruc
tions have rendered such a course lmpoa
siblo. ,
I am proud beyond measure of the record
of the party to which I belong and of the
work of the administration with which
for five years I was connected. I allow
no man unrebuked to speak derogatlvely
In my presence of either. No man within
my knowledge has said more In commenda
tion of that administration than have I.
The fact, however, that I believe the spe
cial work which our unceasing evolution
has brought to the hands of the present
administration has been wonderfully well
performed and that In my Judgment em-
fihanig should now be placed unon the res
oration of business, and universal activity
has lid some to discount my repeated ut
terances in laudation of the work of the
president so fearleBuly accomplished. That
business confidence at home and abroad
la now at ebb tide, all who know something
of the subject must admit. It will require
something besides espionage of business
men. something besides drastic business
restraining legislation, something bealdea
criminal prosecution to again set our In
dustrial wheels In motion.
It Ih never wise to give primary consid
eration to one subject to the nrlimlnn ,.f
others for any considerable length of time.
My visit to Kansas City and Denver, In
both of which cities I am to speak during
the - Week, is not lnfleunced by polltiacl
consideration. I am simply a business man
and a lawyer. Long before public 'office
came my way 1 was deplv Interested in
public questions. I could not If I would
and I certainly would not If I could cease
to be interested in them now thattl am in
private life.

At the meetlrtg of the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners MiJhOay evening en
dorsement was given to the raising of the
fund for the family of Officer Drummy,
and the mayor of the city was asked to
take charge of it. Mr. Dahlman had pre
viously offered to do this. Considerable
discussion regarding the disposal of the
fund was had. the matter finally being
parsed. Some thought it best to invest the
money raised, holding 'the principal in trust,
While the beneficiaries could draw the in
terest. Others thought a trustee would be
best, the trustee approving all checks he
fore payment,' thus making It sure that,
the widow would not be robbed by Un
scrupulous persons. It was finally decided
that the manner of disposal of the fund
could be decided upon after the money
has been raised. ....... .

IOWA CITY. Feb. 18 (Special. )-The
hearts of the base ball fans were glad
dened this afternoon by the appearance of
"Dub" Wilson In the cage. Wilson is one
of last year s team, but has been out of
the dope for the present season i account
of condrtlona In ins school work. He will
probably try for his old position at third
base. This to some extent offsets the news
that waa circulated yesterday that Cobb,
one of the pitching start, waa out of It
on account of charges of professionalism
which had been preferred against him. Aa
to the truth of this report no authoritative
word can at present be obtained.
