Skill and Pluck of Nebraska
SChOOIn7arr,

Omaha Special: When the blizzard
came up the teacher, Miss Minnie Free
man. who is still in her teens, was at the
little school house OF Myra Valley district
with thirteen pupils, ranging in age from six
to fifteen years. About an hour before the
time for dismissal the blizzard struck the
school house with such force as to tear the
door from it's hinges. Another terrific
gale gust struck the building, and, in the
twinkle OF an eye, carried away the roof,
leaving the frightened little ones exposed
to the elements. The time for prompt &C.
ton had arrived, but the plucky teacher
was equal to the emergency. She gathered
her pupils together, and, securing coil OF
strong, heavy twine began with the largest
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 furious storm Sc
lecting her way carefully, the brave girl led
her little charges through the snowdrifts
and the binding blizzard, and after wea-
risome journey OF three-quarters of mile
the little band reached the threshold OF a
farmhouse and were taken in.

The Suffering i'm Kansas,

Some OF the news paper reports from
Kansas have been OF the most narrowing
character. It has been stated that the
billiards that ragged through that section
a few weeks ago left the people in such bad
condition that they were unable to stand
the severe weather OF the past week, and a
large number OF deaths from cold and star
walton are KIN own to have occurred and
much more OF the same sort. On the CONTRA
~ the following card is published, signed by
Morrison Mumford, editor OF the Kansas
City Times, who is trustworthy. He says:
Tho weather in Kansas has not been I'M
usually severe this winter. A few weeks
ago there was scarcity OF coal in some
quarters, owing to the inability OF the rail-
roads to furnish cars, but happily an
abundance OF fuel was provided before
cold weather CAME. AS to the general SUI
fering i'll Kansas, it has existed only in the
minds OF Irresponsible correspondents"

Warden Stordock's Case Dismiss

The famous case OF the State OF Mime
sofa against H. G. Stordock and Sarah
McNeal came up before Judges Kelly and
Simons in the district court at St. Paul and
was finally settled, a nolle prosequi being
entered by County Attorney Egan on be-
half OF the state on the general grounds OF
insufficient evidence to prosecute. There
were two indictments against the defend
ants, one charging them with subornation
OF perjury and the other with criminal libel
The attorneys present for the defense were
Col. c. D. Kerr and c. D. O'Brien. County
Attorney Egan, representing the state,
made his motion for a nolle proseuui,
on the ground and for the reason that the
state has no evidence sufficient to go be-
fore a jury and ask, or be allowed, a con-
viction OF the defendants or either OF them.
Judge Simmons granted the noIle prose-
qui, and ordered that both cases be dis
missed. The attorneys for the defense
stated that they would have preferred the
vinElication OF a trial by jury.
The governor wrote a letter to
Mr.. Stordock informing him that the order
Of November II. suspended him from his
office as warden Of the prison pending his
trial on an Indictment found by the grand
Jury, was revoked, the trial having been
abandoned.

CONFIRMED.
Justice Lamar Of the Supreme
Court.

Washington Special: Mr. Lamar is JUS
tlce of'the United States supreme court, Mr..
Villas is secretary OF the interior and Mr.
Dickinson is postmaster general. And
there has never been any probability that
these three gentlemen would not be con-
frmed. Mr.. Lamar was confirmed by q
vote of 80 yeas to 2S nays. There were
but three Republican senators who voted
30 confirm. These were Stewart OF Nevada.
Stanford of California and Riddleberger OF
Virginia. The friends OF Lamar who have
had charge OF his case in the senate say
th at if it had been necessary to prevent
defeat Mr.. Lamar would have received
more Republican votes, and that it was
never possible to have prevented his con-
tirmat ton. There are reasons. to belle re
that this statement is true.
The senate went into executive session
at 1 o'clock, Mr.. Riddleberser making the
motion. There was no objection. both
sides OF the senate recognizing the agree
ment that was entered into last week. The
nomination OF Mr.. Lamar was first
brought up by the judiciary committee.
The following senators spoke at different
times
IN OPPOSITION
to confrmation: Edmunds, Evarts, ALI
son, Sherman, Hoar. Ingalls,, and Hawley.
This comprised all OF the Republican mem
bers OF the judiciary committee and the
presidential candidates on the Republican
side. The latter, as they are currently
classed in the senate, are Sherman, Allison
and Hawley. The singular feature OF the
four-ho session was that the Democratic
senator's sat silently in their seats. None
OF them urged the confirmation of Lamar.
The Mississippi senators did not say o
word. One or two Of the Dem ocrats brief
J.; answered a few questions, but none OF
them made a speech. The objections OF
the Republican senator's were: Want OF
experience as a lawyer, and his political
record with especial reference to the issues
OF the war. There were no personal OBJ
jections to him and it is stated that moth.
susceptibilities OF Mr.. Lamar had he. been
present. It can bestated in reference to
the report that Sawyer was paired for
confirmation, that this is not the fact.
He was paired against confirmation with
Eustis OF Louisiana. The following is I'M
derstood to be the vote:
Ayes-Bate, Beck, Berry, Blodgett,
Brown, Butler, Call, Cockrel Coke, Col
quit, Daniel, Faulkner, George, German,

THE BoSToMEAN TALKS.
Smith Falls to Meet Sullivan at the
Appointed Time to Arrange a
Match Sullivan Thinks Mitchell
Will Never Face him.

Smith Fails to Meet Sullivan at the
Appointed Time to Arrange a
Match--Sullivan Thinks Mitchell
Will Never Face Him.
Boston Globes London Cable: There
appears to be little prospect of match
being arranged between John L. Sullivan
and Jem Smith, for some time to come al
least. Smith desires such q meeting
brought about, but curious to say
his manager John Fleming,
is adverse to such an arrangement Smith
failed to show up at the Sportsman office
at the appointed time, at which time arti.
cles were to be signed and preliminaries ar
ranged. After waiting nearly an hour
Sullivan appeared atthe window to crafty
the curiosity OF the crowd below. Hewa
received with loud cheers. Seeing no
chance of>Smith putting in an appearance,
he took his departure for Paddington sta
ton. Previous to leaving Sullivan, in
speaking OF Smiths failure to arrange O.
match, said to the writer:
I came here to fight Smith, and demand
hearing at once. wish to serve notice
on him and his manager that in April re-
turn to Boston, and should he fail to meet
me, hope that on the eve of my depart
ure Smiths manager will not be uDcharita-
BILE or mean enough to issue challenge
except to fight in America. Ny $4,000
will remain at the Sportsman office at
least two weeks longer, SO that Fleming
can have no excuse for not coming
up to time. AS for Kilrain. he is
only a third rate man in my country, and
when [ get back home he will have to fight
too, or else sink back into oblivion. Since
my arrival i'll England have given 81
shows, and have netted $50, 900 myself. a
success heretofore unheard OF in this coun-
try. | have been we'll received everywhere.
and drew big audiences in each town Wis
tied It merely shows that the public at
large believe me to be what all Americans
claim, namely the champion OF the world.
No one can pursuade Sullivan that
Mitchell really means to stand up before
him and, unless the match with Smith is
at last arranged, Sullivan will not take
the trouble to train very hard. Despite
the action OF Fleming in not coming up to
time, John gives Smith credit for great
pluck, and only regrets that he should be
in such hands. In fact, by hard and
fast contract, he is quite in the power Of
his hackers managers.

The Art of Conversing

The reason why so many who con-
verse are dull is our fault, not theirs.
our bearing, because we have not learn
ed the art OF patiently listening, re.
strains and embarrasses them. Were
we more benevolent, the tongue OF the
one speaking would disentangle itself
and give us many treasures OF head
and heart. Hence, in cOnverslng, we
should never seem to feel toward the
one speaking that we are perfectly &C
quainted with everything he Is saying
or can say, that kills his glow, and we
shall shortly have for a companion a.
stick or stone. Hence, also, when
our interiors are speaking we should
never put words into their lips. Start
the mass of men, then while the glow
and flow are upon them preserve a
dead silence, you will shortly have
poured into your ears all the best
things they know. When you have
given even an uneducated, II intelli-
gent, man the impression that
you have become his interested
listener he will give you valuable
thoughts not found in your books
and schools. With the utmost mag
nanimity we must tolerate occasional
dullness and learn to listen for profit
if not from princi pie. The self denial
involved, Or the discoveries made,
will, at length, convert the hours
talk into an hour charged with the
most valuable information. when
the man ceases not the exchange of
civilities," says the Chinese proverb,
.there is nothing hemay not possess
Wise, too, is the Turkish proverb:
Many are ignorant through want OF
knowledge how to listen" When in
doubt therefore, one will do well to
inquire the way OF everybody he
meets, for at least every other man,
though humble in life, has clue or
cross cut, or some item OF information
of which we are ignorant.-Professor
Townsend.

HANDLING BABIES.

Advice to Young Fathers, Based on q
Humorist's Experience.
An article, sHow to Handle Babies,
applicable to young mothers, is on the
rounds Some advice suitable to anna
teur fathers might not be out of place.
Never get careless when you are in a
hurry to go down town, and throw the
baby across the back OF chair like an
overcoat; it is hard on the spine II it
has one yet.
Do not toot it like pile-driver to
make it stop crying, as this only iolts
more yells loose.
Don't trot around the room with 1t at
night when it has the collie with its head
down and its feet up, see that you grab
it right side up and with care.
Never be so thoughtless as to carry it
by one arm or one leg, If you do not
want any more noise in the house.
Do not let it slip through your hands
on to the floor, though you do find it as
hard as an eel to hold.
In handing it to your wife do not be
50 glad that you will LET soof 1t before
she has a clinch on it.
If you stand it in the corners to get
rid of it be sure that its feet are
down.
Never lay It up on the mantle-piece,
even for half an hour; it has no wings,
but may have when you come back.
Do not be guilty of tying its feet to-
getherand hanging it on the hat-rack.
If 1t jumps off your lap, always try
to catch it before it hits the floor.
Avoid lifting it up by the ears, as
this produces enlargement of those or
naments.
Don't bounce it up against the wall
like ball and catch 1t, 1t may not like
it.
Do not balance it on your head with
your hands in your pockets.
If you find you must lay 1t across
your lap to spank it, see that it is In
conf ortable position.
If you feel that you have to sell it
don't Yankee Blade.
