Telegraphic Reports from Many Parts of the Country SHORT BITS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings in Distant and Near, by Cities and towns—Matters of Mint* Mention from Many Places. It's an 11l Blizzard, Etc. Lafayette, Ind., February 26.—The fact that the big snowstorm of Sunday and Monday kept many democrats away from the Jackson Club annual banquet, meant much to a number of poor families in Lafayette. The banquet committee had provided for three hundred diners and only two hundred attended. That left one hundred uneaten, and the committee yesterday turned the food over to the Charity Organization Society for distribution among the poor. The society used automobiles and distributed the food to the poor.
