GEORGE W. RICE DIE6. FOLLOWS RAINS CHANGE IN CHARACTER OF THE STORM.

Central Illinois Tied Up by Embargo of Mud Notes of Storm Damage, In Central Illinois, a new twist was given to the freakish weather yesterday, when a steady downfall of snow followed a slight freeze during Tuesday nishl. The change was welcomed as a relief from the steady downpour of rain, altho the snow Itself affo-ded Ht-tle betterment of the outdoor conditions. Teward evtning. the snowfall rncre.sed in severity, and It grew to almost blizzard proportions. Five and a haif Inches of snow had fallen to 8 o'clock last night, and the downfall was likely to continue during the night.

If surh proves to be the case, a foot uf snow would not be surprising before morning. While the snow fall put a temporary quietus on the Hooding of locul st-eams, yet the water will find a way out when the snow melts. Country Roads 'mpassabler. The several days of steady rain, ti p. ped by the snowfall of yesterday, has put the roads of McLean county and all over Central IllinofB.

in their worst possible condition. In some places, the roads resembled miniature rivers, being covered by water from ditch to ditch. Only necessary traffic is moving. Rural mRil carriers are having a tierce time of it. Mackinaw Bridges Safe.

There are five bridges over the Mackinaw river in Lexington and It was rumored Tuesday 'hat three of them would either be washed out or so badly damaged as to be unsafe. There are known a the Mt.

Every day more residents complain that the water has backed up in their rel'ars and that the basements of scores of Bloomington homes are now types of young lakes. In s( me cases it seems to be the case that th is net in proper condition and wlil not carry the water away.

This is hardly possible for any fmpinyp of the city. B'oiimirigton looks to be quite fortunate from a water standpoint, 'f Diy-t 'ti stands nS an example of what might happen.

ADRI ANOPLE SURRENDERS Bulgarian Legation at London Also Hears Tchatalja Has Fallen. London, March 26. Adrian-ople has fallen after one of the most stubborn defences in the history of warfare, and Tchatalja.

according to a telegram received by the Bulgarian legation at London tonight, has suffered a like fate. The information regarding Tchatalj.i may refer to the town of that name and not the fortifications, altho it Is possible the Bulgarians carried all before them. Shukrl I'asha, the defender of Adrianople, handed his sword this afternoon to Gen. Savoff, the Bulgarian generalissimo not, however, before carrying out his threat to destroy the town rather than let it fall into the hands of the Bulgarians. Town Is In Flames.

From all accounts, th arsenals, stores and much of the town are in flames. It was also reported that Shukrl I'asha had taken his own life, but this proved untrue as, after deciding resistance was no longer possible, he sent word to Gen. Savoff that he was burning the city.

Hamilton Lewis for the long te.rm and Judge Sherman for the short term, as I'nlted States senators from Illinois, will lie accepted by the people as a very proper solution of the long drawn out deadlock.

The result was accomplished by a combination of Republicans and Democrats and to the Republicans must belong special credit for furnishing basis for the final breakup. This was accomplished when Judge Sherman consented to Uke the short term. While he was supported for the lens term by the Republicans with much consistency, he generously relinquished his claims In tbnt direction that the contest might be brought to an end and the Will of the people respected. It id alBc to the credit of Governor Dunne that he recognU this as the proper solution and used his influence to bring It about. It must be said in praise of thfis outcome of the contest that it reflects the wishes of the poople of the stRte of Illinois as exprej-sed on that subject at 1he primary.

Ah we approach the time whm the popular election cf scMietors is to be the constitutionally established order, it is highly appropriate that Illinois his reel ectee? the new order in advance. HUMAN NATURE. Whatever else Col. Roosevelt may do, It can be relied on that be will no longer favor any man or anything that bears name Republican. He has denounced the whole Republican representation in the Illinois legislature as tainted Pnd unfit and bias warned the Progressives to make no sort of combination with th-m in electing a United States Senator.

He has taken a hand in the municipal contest in St. Louis and has advised his party to cornb'ne with the Democrats and defeat the Republican candidate, tho that candidate Is reputed a fifteen of high standing and merit. He seems to have an eye on the country with a. view to defeat first and and at every opportunity, the orKa.niza.tion to which he once gave hemrty allegianoe and whichi elevated him to every office of honor he ever filled. He not even overlooked Bloomington and evidently would be pleased with anything but the success of the Republican candidates.

The zeal of new converts is proverbial. And tbc man who quits a parly with which he has long been connected and by which he has long been honored and noes Into another may be tounted on to go farthter and work harder for the defeat of his old-time friends than those who have been all along crunted with the opposition. This -eems to be a sort of human nature. w'otber we call it fallen nature or anything eise. The man whose-services ire no longer required in any corperation or business concern witn whkh be has been connected does not as a rule speak the praise or seek t.

promote the Rood name and business of the ncern will which he is parted company, (in the other hand, If such concern should become a subject if inquiry investigation, he is a swift witness against it and the first to proffer is testimony. If it ever did out of the way hie CHnbe counted i to tell it all and keep nothing back. The Ce-lotiel may be a treat man. and the first citizen (if th world, as claimed, but he h-ia a whole lot of the attributes th-it attach to ordinary mortals. The reports made thus far of great improvements in the cafes treated by Dr.

Friedmann must be accepted with caution. They read like the statements prepared by some one more eager to advertise pretentions than wait for results. The best medical authorities 'it' late that no reliable data can be given mil yet as to the effect of the "curt-'' on any ne and some of those quoted as giving out such data positively deny their responsibility for them. Time is need' to demonstrate the merits ol the Berlin specialist and competent men are makinK observations on the patients treated and will give out the facts when they can be given with certainty. The public may be impatient, but they will hae to wait.

While such calamities as that which has overtaken (he petiple of Omaha bring sorrows and afflictions that human sympathy can never reach and relieve, yet charity will do whm it can. The sympathy of the whole country Is felt for the sufferers and donations of money and other means ef relief are pouring in. If the laws of nature are still severe in visiting: death arid destruction, the lyumun hiart still responds and comes forward with all possible aid to the victims of their fury. Mr. Charles rage Bryan, former America ambassador to Japan, has bad conferred on him tine highest grand cordon of the Imperial Order i the Riptng Sun.

the highest of se d'erations. in recognition of his eminent service In the interest if liood relations between the United States and Japan. It is hardly necessary to say thet this Mr. Bryan is no relation of William J. of the western ltnlle and slouch hat.
