The reports which renoh the Htnto su
perintendent from the dttlcrtriit coun
ties in regard to ntorms und the schools ,
increase in numbers and in to rest. Su
perintendent Munville , of Holt county ,
\yritos s follows :
1 was indeed pleased to receive the letter
from you that I did regarding Um great storm
of January 12. I cheerfully misuer the
, same. Teachers of schools in this county ,
with one exception , were wise in their man
agement of their pupils und themselves.
Nearly all remained all night in their school
houses and avoided any suffei Ing. In a few
initunccs the fuel was out and the furniture
\vos burned. In one Instance u pat run who
lived near the school went and assisted the
teacher in getting 1 ho pupils to his house.
They barely made It. This was unwise , but
thu fuel was gone and the patron thought
.suro with the teacher's help ( a man ) ,
they could get the children to thu house.
Ono teacher foolishly let the children out
to go homo and one .voung man , about six
teen years old , was fro/en to death and his
little sister , who was with him and whom ho
wrapped up as well us he could and buried in
a drift , cunie out alive , but will piobably lose
ono hand.
Ono teacher Miss Ettio Sliattuek , had just
closed her term of school and was going from
ono officer to another to nut her money order
signed , and when the storm struck her she
was three-quarters of a mile from a houso.
She wandered to a hay stack , where she laid
Hovonty-eight hours , and when found was
frozen to the knees and unable to move. She
has been removed to Seward , Neb. , on a bed ,
and , in my opinion , will die. Miss Shattuck
is a very line young lady and u good teacher.
She bus parents , but I think they are far from
wealthy. Yours truly , C. A. M.NVIM.I : .
Superintendent A. Allumun , of Fur-
nis : county , reH > rts no loss ol
life or accidents there.
Superintendent.I. W. llenderbon , ol
Washington county , reports a few cases
in which children were slightly fro/.en

Curtis , who , ubliifj the well rope tied
around his body , conducted hit > school ti :
a place of wifoty. , lie states that tin1
teachers of Washington county have u
ineotiiif'at Fort Calhoun on the Ilth. .
when action will he taken in regard tt
aid for teachers who sutlered from the
btorin in different parts of the state.
Mrs. A. S. Van Antwerp , superintend'
cut of Loup county , writes a very inter'
cstinir letter. She reports no deaths
and states that all the teachers but oni
cither stayed with the children or sa\\
thorn wifely homo. 'However1 sht
says , ' 'one teacher , and a man , at that
bunt all of his pupils home at 4 oVlocl
ut nif'ht. Some were fortunate enoujjl
to yet safely to a house near , but other !
would not have reached home had it no
been for the bravery of a boy aboui
twrelve years old. lie safely umi'ct '
the others home fr ° i"fT nearly twc
miles. All were saved but the boy was
fro/.en about the knees and is hardlj
able to walk. His name is Charlei
Curnsoy. of Kent , Neb.
.T. A. Douglas , Superintendent ol
Brown county , writes that all the
teachers either took the children lionu
or stayed at the school house with them
Miss Nellie Cheny teaching near Aintr
worth , had her fingers badly fro/.en
Will II. Rugg , teaching near Newport
stayed with his pupils until midnight a
winch time the fuel gave out when IK
took the school to a farm liov.su a hul
mile distant.
Superintendent Walter , of Butlc :
county , reports the death of a twolvi
year old boy near Garrison who is en
titled to bo enrolled as a hero. Hi
used his heavy coat as a wrap for i
younger brother through the night ii
the drift perishing himself , while hi
little brother's life was saved. Oni
patron came with a sleigh after hi
children and the teacher , J. J. Graham
refused to lot him have them. Th

Two litinatioH Fulled In Their Mntri-
mnnliil Intentions.
Sonic three or four weeks ago one W. A.
Webster broke his arm , and having no money
or fi lends wus sent to the poor house until he
should recover ft oni his Injury. While "on
the counly" he foil di.Hporate.ly In love with
a cru/y woman named Viola Hlclurds , und
thu passion being i eturned , they exchanged
iiiutual'vows of cternul lldcllty. This week
Webster recovered sufficiently to bo ills-
missed fiom the caie of the county , and he
came uptown and corned $ .1 hovellng coal ,
WlthttilsToitu.no in his pocket ho returned
tn his Viola at the poor farm , und they
planned u ( light fiom that place. They suc
ceeded in getting only a short distance away
fiom the premises when thcyweie stopped
by the irate superintendent. Webster ob
jected to sui tendering his charge and a
.spirited .struggle took place before Viola was
secured and taken back to her quarters.
The superintendent sent for the patrol wagon
and Webster was taken before . I udge Herka.
After hearing thu story the judge , with a sly
twinkle in his ee , , said it was only a week or
two ago that ho had pmiMicd a couple for
not being married when they should be , and
that if he punished a person for wanting to
get married the public would begin to won
der in what position a man \vat safe. He ,
therefore , dismissed the case.
The Domino Kail.
The domino ball given by the ladies of the
Ciurman society at Gcrinanla hall lust night
was pronounced u grand success , as is true
of all thu entertainments in which the Tmn-
vcrcln Is interested. The robes were all the
same cut , but the conventionality wus re
lieved by a difference in color. The uninnsk-
Ing took place at 11 o'clock , and resulted in a
great munj surprises. The occasion through
out was a delightful one. Irvin furnished
the music , and about seventy-five couples
danced to it.

last Sunday evening. The major maintained
that as the beer was dealt out , not for gain

in which ail the members had an interest , it
was no more right to line Ernest than it waste
to punish n member of u family for perform

yesterday afternoon for stealing a hand slei' '

The very complete account of the suffer
ings of Miss Etta Shattuck as published In

heart of every reader. Miss Shattuck was
teaching in a district school six mile.s from
O'Nell , Neb. , anil oti the day of the storm
carefully provided for the safety of her
pupils , and sent them safely to their re
spective homes. In the endeavor to reach
shelter herself he became lost In the blasts ,
by reason of the delay In curing for her
pupils.
Wandering aimlessly about , the poor girl
sotiyht relnge in a haystack , wheio she was
attacked by a host of mice who preyed upon
her in her helpless condition. Miss Shuttuck
remained In the haystack for a period of
seventy-eight hours when she was rescued
by a tanner. Ucr sufferings were preat ,
und on Thursday both of her limbs were
amputated just below the knee. She Is de
serving and in need , and should bo promptly
provided for.
Froinont'H Liberality.
The citizens of Fremont started a fund for
Miss Etta Shattuck yesterday and In ti very
short time WO wus raised. The amount will
bo largely increased , as the liberality ot the
people of Frcmon * . can be relied upon.

Mr. Owens Liberal Offer.
Mr. Henry L. Owens , proprietor of the
Omaha stable.s-lll South Fourteenth street
sends the following letter :
To the Editor of the BKK : I dislike to
have Colonel Woods of Lincoln , who by the
way is as generous n man us lives , outdo mo
In regard to the heroine teachers. I will
donate a fine well-broken pony to be dis
posed of inany way you may designate for the
swelling of tlie fund you have so kindly inter
ested yourself in. Tills is a handsome pony ,
Kind und gentle und is at your disposal.
HIMY : : L.Owrxs.
The offer of Mr. Owens Is a generous one.
The BKK suggests that Mr Owens mime un
early date upon which his poncy shall bo sold
to the highest bidder for the benefit of Miss
Etta Shattuck. Should it happen that the
purchaser is u very liberal person it may be.
that he or she will donate thu animal for the
benefit of the fund. . In this way a hand
some amount coulu be raised. If Mr. Owen
will set the day the BKK will publish free ol
charge the advertisement of the sale. An
early day should be fixed and the bidders
should and probably will be many.

To the Editor of the BKK : Inclosed find

whom I consider the most needy of the three
young ladies. I also make the following
offer which , if you think proper , I will gladl.\

Miss Freeman should bo handsomely re

that steps should be taken at once to erect i
suitable monument to the memory of the tw
Wcstphalen children. Such self-sucritlcin :
love and devotion as shown in this case i
rarely displayed. A penny collection fron

proper way to raise this fund.T. .

was closed as quickly as possible , and fas

that it was necessary for the teacher ni
children to cover their heads , and even mat
it impossible to keep the steve dry. It w

TUB HOLlToF HONOH.
Those Who Have lleeotjnl/.etl Courage
nnil Devotion.
It can be said to the credit of the people
of Nebraska that they can bo relied ujxm to
respond liberally to appeals In behalf of a
worthy cause. When the BKK opened the
funds for the benefit of Nebraska's heroines ,
It placed a firm reliance In the liberality of
the citizens of this state , and the evidence
thnt that confidence was not misplaced will
bo received by all with the greatest pleasure.
Tim privilege of according substantial trib
ute to those whoso actions merit It , Is ono
fully appreciated by those who contribute to
such a puriwse. Seldom , If ever , have the
people of this date jmssesscd the opportunity
to make contribution to such a worthy cause
as the one presented In the case
of Nebraska's heroines.
The record speaks for y clf. With
out attempt nt fulsome praise or use
less words of laudation the three teach
ers , now the subject of public attention , are
entitled to the most cordial recognition by the
clti/ens of Nebraska. At a time when the
strong as well us the weak were falling vic
tims to the fury of the storm Minnie Free
man , with an exhibition of rare judgment
and presence of mind , led her host of pupils
safe into the shelter of their homes. During
the storm Louise Hoyee bravely battled the
elements ! ! an endeavor to rescue the three
children in her charge. That her efforts
proved futile Is duo to the circumstances in
which she. was placed and her fidelity and de
votion to her little charges entitle her to most
distinguished consideration. Of all , how
ever , the case of Etta Shattuck is the sad-
lest. In thu very beginning of life she met
he worst of misfortunes in thu loss of both
Imbs. .This , however * only after she hud
llschargcd every obligation to the children
n her care.
Each is entitled to the substantial rccognl-
ion of the people und it is the prediction of
ho BKK that they will receive it. The
Oil of honor should contain thu
mine of every citi/en of Nebraska
n proportion to the llnancial ability of each.
In these columns every contribution , how
ever small , will bo credited to thu donor and
'orwarded to the proper parties.
