It does not , perlmps , materially differ from its predeces sors , but when one glnnocs back at the im pressions mndo the mind Is appillcd at the group of disasters to life revealed. The sum mary following shows tlio loss of lll Wi lives by Hoods nnd furies , earthquakes railroad and occ.in wrecks , explosions , fires , etc. , yet it Is but a fragment of the world's history of woo Death moved peacefully among tlio high and low , smiting rich and poor Politi cal nnd general events are bi icily reviewed , tlio whole forming a true picture of current life. DIxitHtorM , The most nppnlling disaster of the new ycnr , in its effect upon the people of tno Mis souri valley , w.is the famous bli7/iml of .liin- uorj 1'- ! blurting in northein Dakota and Minnesota it swept southw.ud In a 7ig.ig course to the Kansas state line , and then 10- turncd to the lakes. The s'orm aped over n vast urea of country in less than twcntj-four liours In Nebraska its deadly force was felt fo1 a distance of Hit ) miles west of the Mis- * sour ! liver , its path being m.iiki'd with vic tims in every cliieetion It WH n frightful convulsion of th elements A warm calm and u light snow fall proceeded it for half the day No sign or signal of its approach was visible 'J ho thermometer icgistered about JHP In this vicinity At daylight next morning it was hugging tin1 bottom of the bulb , I03 ! to = below /ero. The change was BO sudden , furious and blindinir that it was almost Impossible for people in the towns to tniute their way to their homos , wiitlo in Hie country the roads weio in a few bouts buried under trackless waves of snow. Aa night approached the storm loured with increased fury , the wind blowing a cnlc , the snow moving in clouds that made it impossi ble for exposed people to face It , nnd dark ness won drew Its nnintlo over the wildest waste of riotous furies over turned loose in this region. Triiflk' was blocked in all direction. Scarcely awheel was turned for thlrtj-slx houis Mountainous drifts wore ic.iiea on the high wuys of commerce , and airainst which the gnovv plows plunged and gtoaned , and weie wiccked. In some sections ono and two weeks weio required to open loads , but the main lines were in inning order in about forti eight hours The uxpuucntea of indi viduals in the bli/itaid of tnoso who weie lost la tlio tiacklcss billows , who sought shelter in the diifts , and of otheis who w.m- ( leied aimlessly about until benumbed and \vcarj they weio wrapped in a winding sheet of snow , while the elements sang the lullaby of death would till volumes. It filled pages of the newspapers of the land , and touched sympathetic cords at every Ihcside. While tUe appalling loss of lifo sent a shudder to evor.v licait , they were likewise thrilled with accounts of heroic deeds of men and women. None can forget the story of Lome Koyce , the Plnlnvlow ( Nub ) teacher , who faced the * " raging storm with three cmiliiten , mid at the risk of her own life attempted to shelter and keep them warm with her body during that tcrriblo night in n snowdrift. Death snatched them from her arms mid left her a cripple for life. The heroism of Minnie Freeman was made the theme of song and story , and will bo cherished in tha bouits of all patents as long as Nobtaska exists. Slio it was who led her brood of thiiteen chlldten fiom her school house in Mjra Valley through deeps for half n mlle to a farmers' liouso. Etta Shattuck is another of Nebraska's heroines who crouched into u haysturk und luld tlieio for fortv-cight liours , too cold to move and too woalt to speak. The chills of death possessed her when found , and although she lingered for a few weeks with every possible cnie , her sticngth was not suflleiont to withstand the shock of amputated limbs. Perhaps the most touching instance of self saciilicc was thntof the Wcstphalen children in Dotigo county. They wore aged eight and ten years nnd loft school together for homo at the opening of the stoim. Two days later their bodies weio found in a snow drilt. The older child aaa almost stuppcd herself of her clothing and wrapped the garments around the little one , hoping that she might survive the storm and live to comfort n widowed mother. The graves of tncso two angels are now marked by a marble monument , u tribute of affection from parents and children. The list of bravo deeds and sacrifices could bo extended in definitely. The instances diiumcrutcd are most conspicuous , and called forth from n geiicioiis people contributions of money and valuables which relieved their linuiudiuto necessities and loft them a liberal com petency.
