The commission to try the charges
preferred against the grand lodge OF
Pennsylvania, Knights Of Pythias were
in session this week investigating the
charges. The grand lodge of Pennsyl-
yania presented, through Chancellor
Cotton, written answer, in which it
denies the right of the supreme lodge to
enact any laws for its government, or
for the government of subordinate
lodges under its control, the sole right
of making and enacting such laws be-
ing vested as Is claimed by the Pennsyl-
wanna lodge, in the grand lodge. 1t
is understood that the commission has
unanimously decided in favor of the
suspension of the grand lodge of Penn
sylvania, and an edict 10 that effect
will at once be issued.

n young lady school teacher in Voley
county. Nebraska, during the blizzard
of two weeks ago showed good pluck
and judgment. When the blizzard
came up Miss Freeman, who is yet in
her teens, was at the little school house
of Myra Valley district with thirteen
pupils, ranging in age from to Is years.
About an hour before the time for dis
missal the blizzard, which swept across
the level prairie of Nebraska with fury
which can hardly be conceived of by
those who have never experienced it,
struck the school house with such force
as TO tear the door from its hinges. An
Other terrific gust struck the building,
and in the twinkling Of an eye carried
away the roof, leaving the frightened
little ones exposed to the elements.
The time for prompt action had arriv-
ed, but the plucky teacher was equal to
the emergency. She gathered her pu-
pills together and, securing coil of
strong heavy Irvine began with the lar.
gest one, and tied them all together by
the arms, three abreast. Taking the
youngest in her arms she tied the end
of the Irvine around her own body and.
with all the words of encouragement
she could muster, started out into the
fury of the storm. Selecting her way
carefully the brave girl led her little
charges through snowdrifts and the
binding blizzard, and, after a weari-
some journey of three-quarters of a mile
the little band reached the threshold of
farm house and were taken in.
