There are thousands of dollars now awaiting various city creditors, and the city clerk requests that those to whom this money is due will call and relieve him from this unnecessary accumulation. —We desire to call attention to Cruick- shank & Co.’s great sale of domestic goods advertised on first —For Lands, Lot~ ook over]] s and Farms .2 on first page FASTENING THE FETTERS The Winters Climax Crushes Qur Hopes that Its Back- bone is Broken. — Frost and Wind Lock Up the Railroad and Telegraph Lines. Food, Fuel and Blankets Hauled in Sleighs to Blockaded Trains. The Storm King Makes Omaha Eis Oeutre of Attack. From Baturday Evening's Bss.§ The storm which began yesterday morning raged all last night with unsbated fary and to-day was at its worst, having blockaded all the rall- roads and laid low the telegraph lines just repired after the recent severe storm. It has been by all odds the worst storm of the worst winter ever experienced in this locality and bas paralyzed business and brought every- thing to a dead stand still. The wind which was yesterday from the north varied from hirty to forty miles an hour In velocity, the highest speed attained being forty-two miles, To-day the average is, if anything, a little higher. The average temperature yesterdsy was 15° above zero, and at midnight last night it was bat 7° above, which was the highest reached by the mer- oury to-day. The storm comes from the north- east, although the wind to-day has been steady from the northwest. Omaha is the centre of the storm, which extends all over the east. Eighteen inches of snow is reported from Des Moines, and eight inches from Davenport. The probabilities are that the wind will lighten op at eunset this evening and that it will clear off cold. The mercury has not been lower than five degrees above zero vo-day, though the wind made it seem much colder. THE UNION This storm extends as far west on this road as the mountain division. The overland train which left Omaha at noon yesterday lost three hours and twenty-five minutes between here and North Platte. The train from the west last night arrived about one hour late. The train due from the west sbout 3:25 this afternoon was on time at North Platte, but lost four hours at Elm Oresk waiting on a frelght train, which was snowed in east of thatpoint. It will arrive to- night about fiye hours late. All the passenger tralns are kept moving by asing two locomotives for each. At noon to-day the storm was raging from Omaha to Sidney with great violence. The snow fences were all covered up, and from now on the road will be practically anprotected. Tratns on the Lincoln branch are all abandoned, and yesterday's south bound passeager train is still lying a few miles north of Lincoln, suowed in. All freight trains on the main line are virtuslly abandoned. The west bound mail train left this morning on time with five cars and two locomotives, Nos. 75 and 17. The express was not taken out st all and the single Pallman sleeper had not a single psssenger in. There were not a dozen passengers on the traln. The train despatcher of the eastern divi- slon acticipates the worst yet to come. PACIFIC. THE B. AND N. On this road the trains are all aban- doned for the present. The sonth- bound passenger train was not sent out, yesterday’s train, with the Hess Juvenile Opera troupe, being still snowed in about six miles north of Lincoln, and not heard from since about 2 o'clock yesterdsy. It then had five locemotives attached, all of which were rendered helpless by the first one, which was buck- ing the snow drifts, getting her front trucks off the track. The train has 180 passengers on board and provisions, coal and blankets have been forwarded to them by sleighs sent out from Lincoln. Six or seven engines were stalled in endeavoring to extricate the train from the drifts. Ssveral men frozs their hands and feet while working at the blockade, snd the attempt to get the traln through last night was abandoned. There are no trains in and ont of Lin- coln and all communication with Oma- ha is cut off. THE ST. PAUL AND OMAHA. Alltralns on this road have been abandoned, none being sent out from this city at all to-day. There are several trains snowed in between Omaha and Covington, and they will likely remain where they are until the vlolets bloom, if in fact they ever get a chance {0 bloom, THE POOL LINES. The trains in from the east last'night all got In by midnight, except the K. 0., St. Joe & C. B., which bas not yet been heard from, nor this morning’s train on the same road either. They had great difficulty in getting in how- ever,, the Rock Island bringing only | from vp to a late hour to-dey with the exception of the Northweste ern, which 1s reported twelve hours Iste. The traln on this road which came in last night with four engines, was snowed in at the platform, st the transfer, where she still lies unable to move. Thesnow is piled up six feet high all over the platform. The Unlon Pacific train did not go over the river at all before leaving for the west to-day, as there was nothing to go for. THE TELEGEAPH LINES, Telegraph lines west of Omaha are working all right to-day, butare down east of us, and probably by to-mor- row morning there will not be a wire to flash the news to us from the out- slde world. As ihe storm is general throughout not only the northwest, but the whole country, the damsge and suffering which will result from itis beyond estimate. THE LATEST. Yesterday was a regular clearing-up day among the railroads and the Ne- braska lines centering in Omaha did good work. As predicted by old pro- babilities, the wind subsided Saturday night and Sunday dawned as bright and clear as could have been wished. The sun shown warm enough to thaw the snow in spots on the eidewalks snd streets, and the atmosphere was quite comfortable. THE IOWA ROADS. The storm which was so severs in Omaha was not, it appears, a [circam- stance to what it was outside the city, east, west and south. In Towa, it was particularly severe. There was no train in over the Wabash, but the St. Joe road came in with Saturday and Satarday night's trains, There were no trains in on the pool lines until last night, when one passenger train arriv- ed on the C., B. & Q. st 10 p. m. and another at 3a. m. on the same rosd. The first train east since Friday was on the Northwestern, which left on the arrival of the cverland train from the west last night. THE B. & M. This road sent a'speclal train south, leaving this city "at 7:30 a. m. yester- day. On arriving at Newton, where Friday's train was snowed in the pas- sengers were transferred aroaund the wrecked train to a speclal up from Lincoln, while the passengers for Omsha on the latter were transferred in the same manner and arrived in this city about 7 o’clock last night. Tals train brought In quite a load, among the passengers being E. F. Smythe, Senator Doane, Representatives Pax- ton, McShane, Broatch, and Bsllou; P. E. Iler, Will Krag, Fred. Stub- bendorf, D. C. Brooks, J. R. Man- chester and family. W. R. B wn and gan moving, and two cr three came in during the night. The wind, south of us, was the worat experienced since the spring of 1873, and was estimated In velocity at sicty-five miles an hour. The train bound for Omaha, which was 1aid up at Weston, fel: its full force. The “‘bonnet” was blown out of the smoke stack, in which it was fixed with four and a half inch bolts. The track is open to-day, however, and the 10:20 train this morning for Lincoln will leave as usual. The bridge division was kept in working order through the entire storm, and is probably the only piece of road in the west that was. A WORK HOUSE. The County Commissioners Fro- pose to Give This Local- ity a Boom. — We May as Well Have all the Prisoners of the West as Detroit. The Summing Up of a Trip Through the East. A few days since Messrs. Drexel and Corliss returned from an extended trip east, which trip wes taken for the purpose of gaining a clearer idea of what was and what was not wanted in the new court house to be built for Douglas county. Our county ofticials have just 8o much money to spend and they seem determlned to get tha worth of it in foll. This is the second trip made with the object of seeing the temples of justice raised in other localities and while the commlssioners wanted to sec what was useful in these structures, their principal obfect was to see what our neighbors had that we did not went. In other words to profit by their mistakes. Their trip iucluded over 20 diferent cities, beginn ng with Indianapolis and taking in Lafayette, Wabash, Hunt- ington, {Fort Wayne, Ind.; Toledo, Cleveland 2nd other Ohie cities; De- troit and other Michigan cities. They declare that they now know protty well what) they swant and very well what they don't want. One of the finest structures they whilo absent was the court house st Iadianapolis, which is nearer a palace than a temple of justice. It cost only 82,900,000, and therefore could not ba modelled after exactly. At Lafayetts they found the coniract let for a new court house and ths commissioners slready In- 8aw Deputy U. S. Marshal E.il. Tho passengers on Friday's train, including the ““Corinne Merrie-Mak- ers” were hauled Into Lincoln about 1 o'clock. Their train being left in the drifts. They were well taken care of while on the train and given agood square meal on their arrival at their destination, by the jcompany. They expressed thetr appreciation in a vote of thanks and Saturday nighs played “‘The Magic Slipper” to a tremendous house in Lincola. The B. & M. is new open to Lin- coln, with theexception of the point about the blockaded train, where two engines are off the track. West of Lincoln, the line 1s not open to Hast- ingsfyet. None of the branches were open last night, when our reporter called at the headquarters. The moroing traln south this morning will be abandoned and also the morning traln up from Lincoln, but the meil train from Lincoln this afternoon will come in on time. No freight trains will be sent out to-day. The entire main line will be open for business by to-morrow. Thirty men were frozen more or less In the altsmpt to ralee the blockade at Newton Saturday. THE UNION PACIFIC. The main line was opened yesterday and to-dsy all irains, frelght and pae- senger, willran as ususl. The worst effacts of the storm were felt between Omaha and Schuyler and on the branches. The overland train due here at p. m., Saturday, arrived at 1:30 p. m. yesterdsy, and yester- day's train at 5:20, less than two hours late. Theoverland train west leaving Omaha Saturday lost only about three hours between here and North Platte, and the same train of yesterday left Omaha at 2:10 p. m., and was making her time when last heard from. The snow plow came in from Grand Island arriving at Omaha at 12:15 p. m. Her work was hardest between Gilmors and Omaha, No. 4 being laid up ai the former station. The snow plow stalled at the summit, but was gotout by an extra forco sent out from Omaba. She came in looking like a daundy in an im- mense stand-up collar, the snow piled | high oyer pilot, cab and tender, and | ice clogging wheels and machinery. The snow plow No. 16 was backed by engine No. 5. The plow was sent down in the afternoon to Valley to open up the Strausburg branch. A special engine was sent out at 3:50 p. m. over the 0. & R. V. to Valley to clear up theline. No freight trains were sent out yes- terpay from Omaha, but trains which three cars snd two engines. This Brrgains. morning’s traing had not heen heard had been lsid up by the storm at Fre- | in successful operation. volved in a law suit concerning it. They had another object, however, in making this trlp, and that is the contemplated erection in this city, either by the city or conuty author- ities of A WORK HOUSE. The number of tramps, dead-beats, and other prisoners who are annually eent to the county jail Is constantly increasing, until it has become a serious burden on the county to sup- port them. This winter it has ex- ceeded any previous time, and as the ccunty .chargea twenty-five cents a meal, or seventy-five cents a dsy, for ther board, it is believed to be time to try and get a return for the expenditure, Tkis is the amount al- lowed by the state and fs ome-fifth greater than the rates at a really good bote! or boarding house. Almost all of the prisoners could be put to work if there was anythicg for them to do and would pay the ex- pense of keeping them and a little more. Itis the Intention of the com- missioners to ack the present leziela- ture to pass an act authorizing them to baild a work house, and making such provisions as to enable prieoners to be consigued to the work house, at hard labor for stated terms. If this is not done the Harney street jaii will, the commissioners say, soon be inade- quate to hold all the county prisoners, OnFriday night,four tramps went to Judge Hawes’ residence and asked to ba putin jail for the night as a pro- tection against the terribly inclement weather. The judge was una- ble to do anything else with them and sent them wup with instructions te be produced before him Saturday,when it was his Intention to try to fire them out of town. Such instances are of frequent occurrence, and the city calaboose, or rather cel- lar, Is not large enough to s:ow away all the poor rats. It is really incum- bent on the clty auhorities to provide a work house, bu: if they decline, then the county will be forced to do so. The travellers saw at Detroit, just suck an institation as Omaba needs, It was con- trolled by the city, but county, state, territorial, or even United States prisoners can be placed therein for sate-keeping on tne payment of a dollar week, The superintendent of this inetitution recently turned over to the city treas- urer at one time as the profits of the | workhouse $30,000. The inmates are all kept busy and of course the fruits of their labor largaly exceed the cost of their keeping and for outside pris- oners $1 = week is paid in,in addition. Now if such an insti- mont, Schuyler, Columbus, etc., be- tatlon were buoilt in Omsha it would command not only the patronage of the city, county and rtate, but largely of the adjoining territories which now send their convicts all the way to Detrolt, even from New Moexi- co and Arizons, to be cared for. Itlooks as if the commissioners were on the right track at last for a solu- tlon of the tramp problem In this sec- tion of the country, and we would not be surprised to see the Institution, which they expect to found Yefore next winter, become an important one of our city's institutfovs. SAINT VALENTINE, The Origin and Universal Ob- servance of the Day. Today is the festival of St Valentine, or “Valentine’s day,” as it is more commonly called, and for some days past, the shop windows have been bright with the missives common to that date, of characters both comic and sentimental. would be in half an hour. The hon- eat Dearted emigrant proceeded to the depot and remalned there until the emigrant teain left, having falled to again see his new made friend. Dis- gusted with his verdancy, and realiz- ing that he would have a puor show of ever finding the sharpers, he departed for tha west a wiser and a poorer man.

D., 270, during the Claudianjpersecution at Rome, The custom of sending Valeniines iz a very ancient one. Some tell us that on this day birds select their mates; others trace the custom to the Roman Lopsrcaliz, Febroary 15th, when similar praciices were observed. Traces of the custom have been de- tected among the obzervances of the Northern Pzgans of Ancien: Europe. Hence it is probable that the tradition that ascribes its origin to a commemoraticn of the loving and charitable disposition of St Valen- tine, is a comparative'y iate inventlon. The bustness in valentines increases every year, This is said to be due to the greater artistic finish of the higher priced valentiaes, and the expression irom year to year in the comicones. To the casual observer, however, valen® tines look pretty much the same from one anniversary to another. This your a new interest has been given to them by the taste bestowed on the valentine cards. These cards are a variation on those used for Christ- mas, New Year’s and Easter purpcses, and are sent tosweethearts and friends in the same way as the orthodox i valentine. An eastern munufactarer, who, with his father, has been in the valen- tine business since 1834, says that the growing traflic in valentines is largely due to the taete displayed in thelr de- sign and manufscture. The sale of costly box valentines is necessarily limited,” but the cheaper ones, and especially the cameo and comic valen- tines, are in greater demand this year than ever before. He has sold over 3,000,000 comic val- entines, and a very large number of cameo yalentines. There were not many imperial valentines in this coun- try, for although high-priced Eaglish valentines had a greater sale in Eng- land than those of a cestly design on this side of the water, their style did not geem to enit the American taste. The ¢‘Mastodon” comlc valentines hit the popular fancy, and thelr size, from which they derived their names, made their satire all the more impressive. The festival o1 this saint isanything but a festival for the postofice em- ployes throughout the country, whose 1abor {s trabled by the flood of “‘drop lettera” common to the day. TRICKS ON TRAVELLERS. Another Operation by the Glib-Tongued Gang. The sharpers who make their living from gnlls and greenles, and from honest-hearted and uwasuspecting per- sons who are neither, are still at work and do not confine their operations to this side of the river. The west-bound emigrant train Thursday night carried a traveler en route to Ogden, whose ticket and fifty centa in change formed his entire assets. It appears that he was the victim of a confidence game of the old, old kind, which was played on him at the other side the river, at the transfer depot. While waiting at the depot he was approached by a stranger, whe had the airand dress of a foreigner. He soon made the acquaintance of the honest emigrant, told him he, too, was going to Ogden, and ss the train did not leave until evening he pro- posed to walk through the Bluffs. The two started up town, and, while walk- ing through Bayliss park, on their way back to the depot, were met by n “‘express agent,” who had a “‘valua- ble” packsge for the emigrant’s new friend. The other of course had noth- ing buta *‘8100 check,” and this the agent couldn’t change. The emigrant was applied to for a loan of the amount due the ‘‘express company,” about $65.50. He prcceeded to pull out his roll amounting to 66, and handed it to his new friend and fellow traveler, who gave it to the agent. The latter then returned up town, amd in a fow minutes the other sharper sud- denly remembered that he had not taken a receipt for the money 'paid the agent. Ha concluded to return and get one, and told the emigrant to proceed o the depot and watch his baggage until he retorned, whizh wards for 1 to 5 years’ time on first ctaes Imp rov- edcity and tarm property.
