STRANGE CAVE IN NEVADA.
A DAY' OF PRAYER.
Money? Not much:
That ain’t my kind:
I ain’t no such.
Rum?—I don’t mind,
Seein’ it’s you.
Well, this yer Jim,
Did you know him?—
Jes’ bout yoUr size;
Same kind of eyes;
Well, that is strange:
Why, it’s two year
Since he came here.
Sick, for a change.
Jim was my chum
Up on the Bar;
That’s why I come
Down from up yar,
Lookin’ for Jim. N-
Thank ye, sir! You

ing and prayer for Christians of America

tion is called to the religious revivals now

SUMMARY OF WEATHER.
An area of high pressure is moving down
Into the United States from western
Canada. It is attended by a cold wave of
unusual severity. Zero temperatures pre-
vail this morning southward over Ne-
braska, while in Minnesota, Dakota, and
especially in Montana, it is intensley cold.
A^temperature of 42 degrees below zero is
reported from Havre, Mont., this morning.
The change to colder has been felt south-
ward as far as northwest Texas. Cloudy
weather prevails over the middle and
southern portions of the country. It is
snowing in the middle latitudes and rain-
ing in Texas and Arkansas. Clear weather
prevails over the northwest. Low barom-
eter and unsettled weather prevails west

LOCAL FORECAST.
Forecast for Galveston and vicinity:
Rain tonight; much colder; Thursday fair,
preceded by rain; colder; cold wave, with
temperature of 30 degrees on the coast
Thursday; increasing north winds.
different railroad companies be compelled
to keep the crossings open, as provided in
their ‘grants.’
“The reasonableness of this request of the
honorable board of city cbmmis'sioners is
apparent when it is stated that no less
than 2000 citizens of Galveston have occa-
sion, out of necessity and otherwise, to
visit said Southern Pacific docks daily.
The present condition and course of road-
way, etc., leading to the Southern Pacific
properties render the lives of the 2000 per-
sons hazardous because the railroad
tracks, trains, etc., and the conveniences
of the same, are inadequate to the,amount
of traffic which necessarily must pass over
them. We, your petitioners, respectfully
request'immediate and favorable action.”
Below Surface 300 Feet and Shows Evi-
dence of Prehistoric Race.
By Associated Press.
Reno, Nev., Feb. 1.—William Andres and
William Jones, two prospectors, report the
discovery of another strange cave- in the
southwestern portion of Nevada. The cave
has been explored to a depth of. 300 feet
and shows evidence of a prehistoric race.
Between the myriads of stalactites’ that
hang from the wall heiroglyphics have
been found. Old stone seats/ showing
signs of use, have also bAen/ .discovered
and efforts are being made to explore the
innermost caverns of the cave and start-
ling results are expected.

ROADWAY TO WHARF.
A MJ p
-----
Petition to Qity?C|mmissioners to
Improve 37 th’'S|reet—Traffic
Over Tracks dangerous.
. —- '
Petitions are being circulated and
erally signed asking the board of city <
missioners to improve a
to the Southern Pacific docks. The dock
workers and others W^io have occasion to
visit the wharves . in that section of the
city are deeply interested in having a
roadway built Ihat will afford access to
the.wharves in that section lying west of
37th street and for a block or two east
thereof. The army of dock workers and
those associated with them in bringing
their dinners to the workmen are sub-
jected to many inconveniences and discom-
forts in getting to and from the docks.
They not only have to cross a dozen or
more tracks, but frequently have, to climb
under or over cars which block the pass-
As it is now, those using the docks
have to take a circuitous route in and
around the cars and moving trains, and
that’s not all. In bad weather they are
compelled to wade through water some-
times knee deep, walk through sloughs and
ditches and suffer other hardships that a
few dollars spent in grading a roadway
would correct.
The petition asks the city merely to
grade and improve 37th street from Win-
nie, which is the nearest point to the
wharves from the street car line, down to
avenue A, thence west along avenue A to
a connection with the Southern Pacific
property. With this roadway graded free
access would be given to the wharves by
direct route. The roadway would cross
five or six railroad tracks, but these cross-
ings are always kept clear and it is much
better than crossing a dozen tracks by
having to walk blocks out of the way and
climb under and over cars.
The petitioners also asks the city com-
missioners to provide some means whereby
the Southern Pacific docks can be reached
from that- street instead of having to make
a dangerous and tortuous route of several,
blocks over through the Santa Fe yards
and over numerous railroad tracks. The
petition will be presented to the city com-
missioners at thSHS meeting either tomor-
row night or at t^eir greeting next week.
There are nearly;. 200) signatures to the
petition, including citizens from all walks
of life, merchants, laborers, dock workers
and others. The., petition reads as fol-
lows:
“We, the undersigned,, beg and pray
your honorable board tfl take some action
which will provide a safe and available
roadway, viaduct,, street approach, walk
or driveway at a, point from 37th street
and avenue G (Winnie) to avenue A,
thence to Southern Pacific properties to
where such street, etc., will connect with
a roadway of a similar character which
may be constructed by the Southern Pa-
cific Railway company on its properties.
Also, that some means be provided at 44th
street and avenue I to reach Southern Pa-
cific docks, as at this particular point the
road is at times impassable, and that the i states.
