K5 t It ll'l r fc I & :f o THE BURSTING OF A GLACIER A Frlffhtfnt rtUnMnr NVftr th Gtmml A correspondent, -writing to the Lon don fllobo, from Zurich, on Nov, IS, says: "At daybreak on Wednesday a frightful disaster took plnco at a dls tnnco of (our miles from Kandorstag, on tho Oemml pass. A hugo maoa of Ice, measuring 1,250,000 cubic motors, detached from tho Altols glaclor and was precipitated Into tho valley. Such was tho Impetus of tho might avalanche that U was not checked In tho valloy, but nfished up the opposite side, which has ft slopo of 45 degrees, to n height of 13,000 foot, carrying everything bo tforo It until It mot a wall of rock which eont tho main mass surging back. "At the foot of this rock lies, or rather lay, tho SpltAlmatto, an exceedingly beautiful and rich mountain pasture with chalot8 for tho cowherds, for stor ing oheoses, otc At tho tlmo of tho dls. nstor thoro woro collected thoro 150 head of valnablo cattle, umlor tho earo of fonr cowherds, Thoro woro also two officials from Louk, who had come up to arrango about bringing down tho cat tle, which ovent has always taken placo on Nov. i5. All have bcon over whelmed. Of tho animals, only threo havo escaped. Tho loss In tho llvo stock, tho ownership of which was par titioned among about thirty families, mostly qulto poor, belonging to tho vil lage of Louk, Is estimated at 100,000 francs. The pasture Itself, which for years will now bo useless, strewn as It Is with debris, Is valued at 400,000 francs. Tho bodies of tho two officials and of two of the cowherds havo been recovered, but In a horribly mutilated condition. It seoms that tho dlsastci overtook them whilo sleeping in theii huts. The other two men, whose bod ies have not yet been found, are sup posed to havo been up early for the pur pose of milking the cows. The blocks of fallen Ico and rocks cover a space of two square miles to a depth of many yards, the whole scene being ono of in doscrlbable desolation. Besides the trees which were in the track of the avalanche, great numbers havo been uprooted by tho wind which it pro duced. Many of tho cattle, too, lie about in buch positions that they must have been hurled great distance through tho air by tho same force. Men are hard at work trying to mako some sort of footpath over tho debris, the ordinary road being, of course, com pletely obliterated. From old records In Louk it appears that a similar catas trophe occurred at the same spot In 1782, also only two days before tho date fixed for the return of the cattle to the valleys."

Tate, tho young tough who killed Archie Cathcart, was brought up to tho penitentiary last Wednesday. He was convicted of manslaughter nnd was given n. sentence of four years. The shortness of his sentence is due to his youth. The Judge said in passing sen tence that if .he had been two or three years older, the verdict would probably have been murder in the second degree. Archie Cathcart was a member of last year's freshman class. He was a good student and was well liked by all who knew him. Tate 4s a fellow with no education and of low character. He disliked Cathcart because the latter wu!d ret associate with him, and the evidence showed that lie picked a quar rel with him with the intention of stab bing him. RESOLVTIONS OF REGRET.

ICdMor of Nebrnsknn; A certain one, signing himself tho sophomore class and whose identity s not known to me, has presumed to publicly make comment upon freshmen wearing a mustache. On account of certain circumstances t m led to behove that this pophomoro aimed that item at me. My mustocho Is in color thnt hue between rod and auburn that is unnamed, but neverthe less is felt to be so charming. My mustache Is heavy for one of my ago, but not shaggy, and It is Just long) enough to curl at each end nicely. You may think mo vain, but is this not enough to cause that red-headed soph-' omore, whose upper lip Is shaded so much that ho can not even raise a foot ball eleven on cither side, to be Jealous Now Mr. Sophomore if my mustache has, disconcerted you nt all, 1 dare you toi cut it off.
