Loesos by tho Storm.
As far as we have been able to learn
the damage by the double headed bliz
zard of last week has been quite exten
sive over this county aud in the ad
jacent counties in Kansas. Thc fol
lowing are a few who have lost as far
as we could ascertain:
Mr. Moody, on Indian Creek, S head
of cattle.
A. J. Means, 50 hogs.
Capt. Munsell, 11 beau of hogs.
Mr. Lovell, 30 hogs.
W B Roby's los- was thirteen head.
Jrs McKinney a number of sheep.
Mr Chas Besse six head of cattle.
Mr H A Iloward one calf.
J S Parkcfi lost two heifers and elev
en hogs.
P DeLaney one hog,
D C Smelser lost nineteen head of
hogs.
Robt Rownds five hogs.
S Lindsey lost seven head of hogs.
Jerry Orndorfflost two or three head
of hogs.
Winna Palmer lot a cow.
Ed Farkes lost seven head of hogs.
Marsh Parker, of Salem lost a large
number of bogs.
The above is only a partial list, but
we presume that nearly every other
larmer in the countv lost something in
the way of stock. It was certainly the
hardest storm ever known in this sec
tion of Nebraska, and wc are not anx
ious to have it repeated. The ls?es
from the storm will in all probability
foot up pretty heavily.
To School Officers and Teacher..
Your special attention id called to
the following law passed at the last
session of the Nebraska legislature and
now in force, viz:
Skc. 1. Provision shall be made by
thc proper local school aiithortics for
instructing the pupils in ail schools
supported by public monny or under
state control, .in physiology and hy
giene, with special reference to the ef
fects of alcoholic ririaks and other
Ktimulants and narcotics upon the hu
man system.
Sec. 2. No certificate shall be grant
ed to any person to teach in the public
schools of the state of Nebraska after
the first day of January, eighteen hun
dred and eighty-six, who has not pass
ed a satisfactory examination in physi
ology and hygiene with special refer
ence to the effects of alcoholic drinks
and other stimulants on the human
system.
The law states plainly in what
branches of study a teacher must be
examined in order to obtain a certfi
cate, but this is the only instance
where it comes to nay what shail be
taught in the school. The terrible evil
of intemperance has become so preva
lent, and its influence so baneful on all
grades of society that our lawmakers
ee the need of educating the children
as one means of its overthroA. hence
tha law. Every examination hereafter
will embrace this subject. Teachers
should give oral lessons where there
are not books, nd make a general ex
ercise lor the whole school, drilliag
the pupils on the manufacture, nature
and effects of alcohol, opium, chloral,
tobacco, (and possibly those harmful
drugs and powders ihat are used to
stimulate beauty?) Text books are
plentiful, Steele's Hygienic Physiology
is used in the country. For reference
Dunglison's or Brand's might profit
