Replies to Storm Circular.
Last week's additional replies to
State Superintendent Lane's storm cir
cular briefed up for the Journal from
the Omaha Republican.
J. A. Douglas, superintendent of
Brown county, writes: No fatalities in
Brown county, among teachers and pu
pils. A number of teachers stayed in
school rooms Thursday night. Miss
Millie Cherry, a teacher, had her fingers
frozen badly. Will BLRugg. a teacher
near Newport, stayed with his pupils
till near midnight, when the fuel being
exhausted, he took his pupils to a farm
house a half mile distant.
In reply to Prof. Lane'e storm circu
lar a few items have been received. W.
W. Cox, of Seward, suggests the appoint
ment of a day in the schools of the state
for taking a penny collection to con
stitute a recognition fund. He thinks
all young hearts will gladly respond.
MiBS C. C. Cooly, of Howard county, re
plies that she had written to the teach
ers of the county for data, and would re
ply to the circular at an early day.
She states that several teachers
stayed in their school-houses all night
rather than allow the pupilB to leave
for their homes. M. A. Connell, of Min
den, replies: I have heard of no loss of
life in this county. A. E. Allyn, of Hast
ings replies: There were no lives lost nor
any suffering by teachers or pupils in
Adams county. E. S. Falkner, of York
says: I am glad to state that no one in
this county perished by tho storm.
Mrs. A. S. Van Antwerp, Loup county
superintendent, states: Very fortunately
I have no casualty to report. All but
one of my teachers either stayed with
the children till help came, or housed
them close to the school-house. How
ever, one teacher, a man at that, sent all
of his pupils home at 4 o'clock. Some
were fortunate enough to get safely to a
house near by, but others would not
have reached home had it not been for
the bravery of a boy about 12. He safe
ly guided tho others home, going about
two miles. All were saved, but the little
boy was frozen about the knees, and is
hardly able to walk. His name is
Charles Gurnsey, of Kent, Neb.
John F. Kates, superintendent of Val
ley county, writes, enclosing a clipping
from the North Loup Advocate giving
the facts in Minnie Freeman's case. He
says a great deal more might be said to
hor credit. I have in my possession a
nice purse which will be expended for a
handsome present for her to be present
ed at a meeting of the Loup Valley edu
cational association at Ord. The par
ticulars of her adventure in tho storm
were written by Superintendent Kates,
and have heretofore been placed before
the public.
A. D'Allmand, superintendent of Fur
nas county writes: I am glad to inform
you that through the kind intervention
of Providence no accident happened to
teachers or pupils in my county during
the late blizzard.
C. A. Manville, superintendent of Holt
county, writes: Teachers of schools in
session were wise in their management,
with one exception, by remaining all
night with their pupils in their school
rooms. This exception has heretofore
been given to the public. It was the
case where the school children were dis
missed and sent home. One young man
1G years old was frozen to death, and
his little sister whom he buried in a
snow drift, came out alive but will prob
ably lose one hand.
This is the county in which Miss Ettie
Shattuck had closed her term of school
and was going from one office to another
to get her money order signed, when the
storm struck her. This superintendent
says Miss Shattuck was a very fino lady
and a good teacher. It is stated in
this connection that both of Miss Shat
tuck's limbs have been amputated just
below the knees.
R. H. Langford, of North Platte, sends
draft for $10 for the disabled teachers
fund. He reports no teachers or pupils
put to any great inconvenience.
Ed. B. Cowles, of Jefferson county, re
ports that there was no loss of life
among teachers or pupils. A. C. Ron
tegahm, a teacher had his toes and face
frosted. Teachers showed good sense
by keeping pupils at the school-houses.
R. H. Blanchard, superintendent of
Dawes county, says he cannot cite one
case of freezing, either of children or
adults, and not a single case of suffering
by either.
A. R Goudy, superintendent of Paw
nee county, is happy to be able to state
that there is nothing to report
- i ,
A clause in Mr. Cameron's pension
bill, introduced into the senate Feb. 1,
to place on the pension roll all officers
and enlisted men who served in the army
or navy between March 4, 1861, and
February 1, 1866, reads as follows: That
the rate for pension for such service shall
be at the rate per month of one cent for
each day of service rendered in the army,
navy or marine corps of the United
States subsequent to the 4th day of
March, 1861, and prior to the 1st day of
February, 1866." The constitution
placed upon this clause is that the pen
sioner shall receive each month 1 cent
for each day's service, or $3.65 pes month
if he has served 365 days, or one year.
A report comes from Dublin that the
family of a farmer named Doyle, con
sisting of father, mother, one son and
three daughters, living near Killarney,
became insane the other day from the
effects of eating poisonous food. Dur
ing the night they fought one another
like wild beasts, tearing their clothing
and biting their flesh horribly. The son
was found dead in a pig stye, his body
nearly naked and his face nearly eaten
away by the pigs. The remaining mem
bers of tho family were removed to an asy
lum, whoro they were pronounced incurable.
C. B. Hitchcock and wife, living near
Santa Ana, Cal., went to that place to
acknowledge a deed to his property
which he had sold to a German named
Auschlog. They disappeared. In search
ing for them their dead bodies were
found the other day side by side cover
ad up in a hole in the ground. Hitch
cobk's throat was cut from ear to ear,
and his wife's head split open with a
hatchet. It appeared evident that Au
schlog had murdered them to regain the
money he had paid them for the land,
and he has been arrested.
An item from Cohoes, N. Y., about the
recent eastern storm says the snow was
from four to ten feet deep. From all re
ports it was the worst storm ever known
in tho eastern and middle states. On
every hand railroad travel was complete
ly blocked and trains sticking fast in
drifts, with a good deal of suffering
among tho passengers for food and fuel.
A number of accidents and several per
sons killed on account of the storm,
which was most severe in the Mohawk
valley, and reached as far as Maryland.
Hope Valley, R L, reports an earth
quake shock at 12:40 the other morning.
The shock was also reported from va
rious portions of the state, caused by a
dynamite explosion. Providence and ad
joining cities and bay side towns were,
badly shaken up by the explosion in
Newport harbor to clear it of ice. In
many places the shock resembled earth
quakes and reports from various places
speak of it as a genuine earthquake.
It is reported from Rochester, N. Y.,
that when the storm came up last week
there were several live stock trains on
the New York Central roads between
Buffalo and Syracuse. In spite of all
efforts to get them to shelter, nearly
fifteen car loads of cattle and hogs des
tined for Boston and New York, were
frozen to death near Palmyra, and sev
eral car loads at other points.
The starving miners at Shenandoah,
Pa., overstepped the bounds of law and
order last week-and have been rioting up
and down tho streets in full possession
of the town. It is reported that several
persons have been shot and a number of
policemen and magistrates pounded.
The war in western freight rates raged
fiercely at Chicago the other day. It
opened with an official tariff issued by
the Chicago & St Paul company slash
ing all rates between Chicago, Council
Bluffs and Omaha almost in twain.

Royce's recital of her sufferings and ex

of her little charges died in spasms,
while the other little one lingered until
morning, pleading for "mamma" to give
her more covering to protect her from

when she arose she found that her hair,
clothing and feet were frozen to the

a story of more heroic devotion and for
titude than is found in the recital of this
young girl. Her misfortune and hero
ism call loudly for the sympathy and
generosity of tho people of our city and

liberal response to the call, and we hope
to see the fund of Miss Royce, really the

Washlarton Letter.
From our regular correspondent.
The anti-Cloveland element in the
democratic party is rapidly growing and
secretly organizing in quite a number
of states, if politicians from those states,
who visit this city from time to time,
may bo believed. That the feeling is
encouraged by quite a number of prom
inent democrats in congress is a fact
well known. It is said here that an
organized open opposition to the re-
nomination of Cleveland is shortly to be
started in the states of Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, W.
Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, and pos
sibly others.
It is also uaid that Samuel J. Randall
will head the fight against Cleveland.
All of this may or may not be true, but
that there is a strong democratic feeling
for Governor Hill more or less openly
expressed among prominent members of
that party, is a fact that cannot be gain
said. Senator Frye says, the exemption of
imj)orted liquors from the operation of
state laws relating to the sale of distilled
and fermented liquors is interfering
with the temperance movement in Maine.
Cleveland is making quite a record as
a pardoner of criminals.
The delegation here from Dakota have
been making strenuous efforts this week
to convince the house committee on ter
ritories that Dakota hsis every right to
be admitted to the sisterhood of states.
The senate committee on pensions has
unanimously approved Senator Mander-
son's "Grand Army" pension bill. This
bill is practically the same as the de
pendent pension bill which was vetoed
by Cleveland last year, and there is but
little doubt that it will be passed again
by this congress. Some Grand Army
men believe that Cleveland will sign it
this time.
That "republics are ungrateful" was
never more strikingly shown than in the
case of the survivors of Lieut. Greely's
expedition to Lady Franklin bay. They
have not to this day, received from the
government their regular allowance for
fuel and quarters. Congress has not yet
found time to render justice to these
men, although fourteen of the nineteen
persons named in the bill before it are
now dead. n.
all tho night of the "blizzard," although
chilled very badly, are all right now. He
had a quivering sensation in his flesh for

bed on a sled with only a quilt and can

A Visit to Blooaiagdale stock Ym.
Some little time ago the writer on his
travels with a friend stopped over night
on the above named (Mr. A. Henrich's)
farm, in the beautiful and rich Shell
creek valley. What he saw and heard
there may be of general interest to the
fanning community. The farm com
prises a good deal of very rich bottom
land, partly used for hay. Several good
pastures, some all, some partly, tame
grass such as timothy and blue grass
furnish sustenance for horses, calves,
sheep and swine, and one large pasture
of about 450 acres fenced in with good
water and shade and partly in blue
grass, is used for cattle and colts; three
wells, two of which surmounted by wind
mills, furnish excellent water. I have
mentioned calves above but cannot pass
them over without saying that they are
the finest I ever saw and such is the
verdict of others. A number of young
bulls among themought to be distributed
over the county to improve the stock.
Another notable feature is the good
arrangement, oi everyimng one can seo
here that not only muscle but brains
also have been employed. The house ia
surrounded by a fine grove, garden and
orchard, and in the pasture are growing
oak enough to supply soon all the fence
posts needed on the farm. Taken all
together, it is a very pleasant and well
managed estate. If, as it is expected, a
railroad is to be built this summer up
through Shell creek valley and
a station located opposite the farm, it
will, being on the other side of Shell
creek, not cut up this farm and yet en
hance its value immensely.

During the late blizzard Conductor
Bob Crafts, of the Fremont road dis
tinguished himself. His train was de
layed near Emmet and had in it a car of
cattle. Ho saw that something would
have to be done to save the cattle, so he
ran back to Emmet, unloaded the cattle
got lumber and made a pen, hired a
team and hauled hay for a shed for the
stock and saved every animal. Such
thoughtfnlness and diligence is worth
remembering. The usual custom on
most roads is to let them freeze on the
cars. Fremont Tribune.

Dr. Bear, who returned home from
Plainview yesterday morning, stated to
a reporter that after a careful examina
tion and a conference with the attending
physician, he had become convinced
that it would be necessary to amputate
both feet of Miss Louise Royce, the
young school teacher sufferer of that
place. One foot, the Dr. says, is almost
entirely frozen and the flesh is decaying
and sloughing off. The foot is so badly
decayed that amputation will have to be
made above the ankle joint in order to
give her a good stub on which to place

The month has been remarkable for
the violent Btorm on 'the 12th, the most
severe of its duration of any I have not
ed. The wind in the early part of the
day was blowing from & E. when it
lulled for a short time and then whirled
to N. W. and the blizzard set in, follow
ed by a rapid reduction in temperature
of 30 in 12 hours, which continued
gradually until the 15th, when the ther
mometer marked 32 below zero the
lowest point my instruments have re
corded in 15 years, much suffering of
man and beast was the necassary result,
but, as it is evident from information
since received, the storm center passed
to the north of us, and so we escaped
the greatest intensity.

'Squire Reed, living three miles north
east of the city, went into -town last
Thursday on horseback, and being de
tained did not start home until after
dark; in trying to find his way In the
darkness he lost his bearing, and after
riding around on the prairio for some
time finally pulled up at R. Stuart's
where he procured a lantern, and was at
home all right by 12 o'clock.
