The dog teams, which started to- day, will probably not get through. The wind is blowing 70 miles an hour, and the thermometer is 20 de- grees below zero.

Newfoundland never knew such a stormasraging now. No mails have arrived or departed fer a week. The snow has piled up in the interior 30 feet high. No one can recollect such acontinuous blizzard as has swept the island for seven days. With it has come a fierce wind which beats down upon theenow with such force as to pack it almost in- stantly into a solid mase, stalling trains as if they had run into a wall of rock and effectively stopping all ordinary travel. The trainloads of passengers cross- ing the island are in dire danger. One, with 55 passengers, has been stalled in the wild almost unin- habited interior, for four days, with no prospect of relief. Another near this city is in almost as dire peril. No succor is near. All told, they have more than 100 passengers. To-day there came a click on the railway wires. A telegrapher on the train at the risk of his life had clam- bered out into the snow banks and cut in on the telegraph lines, “We have only two days’ food left,” he clicked off. ‘Send help at » .: ‘or all women who are weakened by womanly dis- eases or who are run-down by maternal and household cares Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is commended \ as a medicine which ‘ly cures ay os Me the strength. , It establishes regularity, dries weaken- ing drains, heals inflam- L mation and ul- aii orn ane . cures female PS s2<5g weakness, It is unexcelled ) as a tonic and nervine for weak, run-down women, "If mothers who dread the baby's coming wonld take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription they would find it a great help and benefit,” writes irs, L.

COLONIZATION OF THE SOUTHWEST Aid and Inducements Offered fby the Missouri Pacific Railway. The Missouri Pacific Railway is bending every effort towards devel- oping the agricultural, mineral and industrial resources of the West and Southwest. To attain this end, it asks the aid and co-operation of ev- ery farmer,-miner, merchant and pro- fessional man along its lines. The development of the products of any section of the country means justso much more capital to be spent in that section. Prosperous neigh- bors make a prosperous community, especially if they live and have their interests at home.
