THE RUTIAND DAILY GLOBE MONDAY MORNING. APRIL

over, that vigorous and manly effort was
made by some young men Of the high
school, to suppress the Kissing.
Since, then, the reputation of the whole
school must suffer from the rudeness of a
few of It's members, it is but just that 1t
should have credit for the good breeding of
the true gentlemen who belong to 1t. And
of those few who, in the excitement of
of party strife, were betrayed into such
rudeness, it is safe to say that they are by
this time heartily ashamed of it, and that
the like will never occur again.
For, having the very best opportunities
for knowing that whereof affirm, | am
certain that there Is not a boy or a young
man connected with the High School who
would ever be guilty of intentional insult
to lady.
Since good manners in public are just
now the theme of public comment, may,
perhaps. be allowed, without criticisng
anybody, to call attention to the modesty
and womanly dignity of our girls on Fri
day evening. "The ornament of meek
and quiet spirit is a species of old-fash-
Toned jewelry, which is just as beautiful
now as 1t was two thousand years ago 1t
may be worn at spelling matches, and is
equally appropriate to public and private
occasions. A woman who goes into pub
lie adorned with this, as well as other
womanly graces, will always command a
respect which even the rudest will be CON-
PEELED to give. NJ. A. II.

Disastrous Flood.

OMAHA, April 25.
The river at this point is higher than it
has been for many years. The bottoms
are covered with water on both sides of
the river as far as the eye can reach and
the water is still rising. The Union Pacific,
Burlington and Missouri River, and Omaha
and Northwestern railroad freight depots
are entirely surrounded by water, and all
the tracks are covered to the depth of two
to three feet. A heavy stream of water is
pouring over the bottom between the Uni
on Pacific shops and the Sand hills. Con-
siderable anxiety is felt for the safety of
the shops and smelling works. The water
Is also cutting away great I'LL at the east
