He lost his way, and his body was found
Saturday half mile or more distant.
z. Ii. Garvey, a farmer of Garfield

Just coming in. The cattle on Joseph
Byer'S place, who lives about fifteen
miles north, commenced TO wander when
the storm came, and i'm the attempt to
drive them to shelter he became
blinded and persisted. The cattle like
wisewise died, leaving the family
poorly off. The stage driver from the
north was out with one passenger, a
woman, for twenty-One hours, but they
were found the following day and are
now out OF danger. A girl has just
been found few miles south of here
frozen stiff and has not been recognized.
A man named Savior lost fourteen head

MANITOBA,S CABINET.

1t is curious way they have in Mani.
toba politics, and it's evidently great
country for politicians-when they are
on top. The HARRISON cabinet, which
succeeded that of NoRQUAY when the
late premier was overthrOwn because of
his failure to complete the Red River
railroad, is an illustration of this fact.
The cabinet properly consists of six
officers, but HARRISON didn't care to di-
vide the SpOilS among so many, so he
made up new cabinet with but two as
SociateS, each man taking two offices.
His rule has been a short one, however,
and, forced by the weight of public opin-
ion, his cabinet will soon join NoRQUAY
in political exile.
There seems to be but one way open
to the ManitObanS to secure their cher
iShed ends. Let them bid farewell to
the politicians who have for so many
years fattened upon them, and insist
upon cabinet whose members shall be
reputable business men, acquainted
with the ways of the business world,
and with sufficient standing to secure
attention in the financial markets of the
country. Then let this cabinet indicate
to the dominion government, in no I'M
decided manner, that continued frustra-
zion of the peoples wishes will ineyi-
tably lead to the fostering of a resentful
spirit that will eliminate in vigorous
effort on the part of the people to secure
separation from government so thor
oughly needless of their interests.
The people of Manitoba have been
harassed and oppressed to the point
where forbearance ceases to be viz
tue, and if they do not obtain the relief
which should be willingly accorded
them, it would be hardly surprising if,
in the near future, the dominion au-
thorities should have a problem to deal
with even more difficult of solution than
the REL rebellion.

Special to the Globe
BILE effects of Thursdays storm are al
ready manifested by the discovery of
frozen bodies on the prairie in the vicin-
1ty of YanktOn. 1t is placing the num-
Der of fatalities at low figure to say
that at least 100 human beings lost their
lives in the dreadful storm within ra-
dius of fifty miles of this city. The loss
OF cattle, horses and sheep will aggre-
gate 2,O0O head. 1t is almost impossible
to estimate the number who are MANNED
but it is safe to calculate that 800 unfor-
Inmates will suffer the loss of arms or
legs. At noon to-day Bon Homme
county reported % deaths, Clay county
Is and YanktOn county Is, while this
number is more than likely to be in
creased to double this figure. A few of
THE DEAD

TWO SORRY CITIES.

The city that cannot depend upon its
police force is in a bad way indeed.
Two prominent cities of this country,
Boston and Kansas City, are at present
in that unenviable predicamenJ. In
each place, the classic latter-day Athens
and the uncouth Kansas metropolis, the
footpad and the sneak thief are holding
high carnival, and through inaction or
inefficiency the police of either place do
absolutely nothing to dissipate the
reign of terror, beyond dissipating
themselves. The citizens, having lost
confidence in the guardians of the law,
are now casting about for means of self
defense.
So far as Boston is concerned. we
would suggest that she call out her
famous school regiment, or else marshal
in battle array battalion of her numer-
GUS specialized advocates of woman's
rights, before whose awful front the
boldest burglar must needs SLOUGH TIM
orously away, as have, in fact, many

To the Editor of the Globe.
In this mornings issue of your widely
circulated paper | find the following
under the head of your editorial "Sun-
beams"
'sSir John Macdonald has given
$4,000 to found hospital at Toronto.
Sir John ought to do better than that
If he is good Christian he ought to
give at least 1.-THE of what his great
monopoly, the Canadian Pacific railway,
is making out of the people of the Do
miniOn."
You will allow me to correct what is,
no doubt, misrepresentation of yours.
The John Macdonald who has so gener-
ously given $40, 900 to found hospital
in Toronto is not Sir John Macdonald,
but the Hon. John Macdonald, a senator
Of the Dominion and a wealthy whole
sale merchant in Toronto, whose praise.
as ''good Christian is found not only
in the hospital referred to but in many
other public institutions of the country,
of which the Metropolitan Methodist
church of Toronto may be cited as a
noble monument of his munificence. He
is not at all connected with Sir John,
but, on the contrary, has been
opposed to his administration through
out his whole political life; being
olectou dI one JlInc III Toronto III OppO-
sitiOn TO it, where his personal in
fiuence secured his election.
Apropos of Sir John, it may be added
that your mention of the gift of $4,000
to a Toronto hospital by him will cause
many of your Canadian readers to smile
because it is known to them that the
premier of Canada has no money to give
away--never having acquired the art of
securing his own pecuniary interests.
In this respect his famous assertion at
one of the most exciting crises of his
life, "These hands are Clean" has held
good, and has never been successfully
controverted by any or all of his more
than industrious and mandaciOus Oppo-
nents. The benevolent donor of Che
Toronto hospital, although a lifelong
opponent of his namesake, the premier,
is senator by the grace Of that same
premier who by the appointment of his
able opponent gave another evidence of
his magnanimity and freedom from per
sonal or partisan prejudice.

honest men. In Kansas City the thou
sands of real estate men, whose fierce
onslaughts the experience of many has
taught cannot be withstOod. and who,
capturing the thieves, might be relied
upon never to let go of them until every
penny of their ill-gotten gains is given
up as earnest money on choice Kansas
City property ''only ten miles from the
postof1ice, might be called upon" There
would thus be something gained In
keeping the money in he city.
But, rs last resort, the police force
of either city might be discharged and
a gOodly collection of bulldogs en-
ployed in their places. They could not
give worse service than is at present
rendered by the blue-coats, and the
chances are they would give great deal
better. We commend the idea to the
more or less intelligent consideration
of the cOuncilmen of the two cities.

WE'LL PUT.

Senator VANCE, of North Carolina,
has peculiarly happy way of putting
things. He can c0ndense whole pO-
litical platform into one short sentence.
In tariff discussion in the senate the
other day he said the whole question,
as forced upon the country by the pres
ident's message, was formulated into the
single proposition: "Should taxation
be enforced for the support of the gov
eminent, or for the enrichment of pri-
vate Individuals" There it is. The
Democrats are debating in favor of re-
ducing taxation to government neceSsi-
ties, while the Republicans are advocat-
ing tariff high enough to enrich pri-
yate individuals.

THE SOUTHW
Suffering in Kansas, Missouri and
Indian Territory.


KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Jan. 16.-Saturday
and last night were the coolest ever ex-
perienced in this section, the thermom-
eter registering 10 deg. below zero yes
terday morning, and no time yesterday
did the mercury get above 4 deg. below.
A rev cases OF freezing have been re-
ported to the police i'll this city, but the
reports that come from Western Kansas
appear appalling. The billiards thar
ragged through that section few weeks
ago left the people in such bad condi-
ton that they were unable TO stand the
severe weather of the past twenty-fOur
hours, and a large number of deaths
from cold and starvation are known to
have occurred. A carload of provis-
Ions was started yesterday from
Wichita to Ashland, Clark county,
but the storm stopped the train. 1t is
estimated that 5000 people in Clark
county are in destitute condition, and
unless immediate relief is afforded them
the number of deaths will be fearful to
contemplate. The pastor of the Presby-
terrain church in Hartland, Kearney
county, writes to the Aid society implor-
ing assistance for the people of that sec
ton, saying that if relief does not sOOH
come hundreds must die. The casual
ties among stock have been greater thar
ever known in the state of Kansas.
Horses and cattle have persisted in theiI
stalls and the owners have been badly
frozen while attempting to care fol
them. On the Missouri Pacific railroad
two train loads of cattle coming in from
the West were caught i'm the blizzard
and every animal was frozen to death.
In Indian territory the entire range is
frozen over and the cattle are drifting
badly. AS most of the cattle on the
Western range are new Texas stock, the
loss will be very great, they being I'M
used to such low temperature.

perience with the NersOn boys during
the Storm is that he was over at their
place Thursday dOctoring sick horse,
and when the storm came up the boys,
~ FEARING THE STORM,
started back with Wilson to go to his
place, two miles east of the NersOn place.
Each of the boys was leading horse.
Wilson was OH foot. They travelled two
miles east, missing Wilson's place less
than forty rods. They travelled around
over the prairie in search of shelter, the
boys part of the time riding the horses,
and part of the time leading them. Will
son did all in his power to assist the
boys on and off the horses, and contin-
ually encouraged them with hope of
reaching shelter. After wandering
some hours, Frank fell exhausted, and
in a few minutes he expired. Wilson
and Willie NersOn then wandered OH in
hope of reaching shelter, and after some
time William also succumbed. One of
the horses, being exhausted, re-
fused to proceed. After William
persisted, Wilson still proceeded,
| leading the other horse, which got
down in a deep drift and persisted.
This was near daybreak. Wilson pro-
ceeded alone until about exhausted.
when he took shelter ina deep drift in Il
corn field. When he got chilly again he
proceeded and continued along, walking
and resting in snowdrifts. He pro-
ceeded till from exhaustion his knees
gave away. About 10 o'clock Friday
morning he crawled on his hands and
| feet to the house of John Brenerman,
having gone ten miles from his starting
! point. Wilson froze his face. William

The Palmer Successorship.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-E. c. Ken
nedy, of Parker, Oak, stands a good
chance for appointment as successor to
Judge Palmer, whose term expires next
month. Mr.. Kennedy is believed to be
the happy possessor of the Endorsements
and encomiums of all the Democratic
territorial officials, including the chief
justice. There is prominent and able
Wisconsin man seeking the position. 1t
is believed that Judge Morrow, of
Sparta, has the Endorsement of Secre-
tary Villas. But if Hon. Bartlett Trip
should make personal request of Col
Villas to withdraw his Endorsement of
Mr.. Morrow, or any other man outside
of the territory, the we'll known per-
sonal relations of the gentlemen, coup
led with the high standing of Mr.. Trip
at the White house, would be likely to
result in making plain sailing for Mr..

demnity lands, the first issued on lands
in this district since the adjustments.
Some of the Omaha selections spatented
were made in 1875, some in 1882. The
contracts were made in 1876. Under the

taken up by settlers in this district.
Patents to the Central extinguish the
claims of most of these settlers, who will

How Mr.. HOrner Rescued an En-
tire Family From Burning
Building.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-The burning of
the fine residence, 1889 Michigan avenue
the heart of fashionable district-at
o'clock this morning was accompanied
by display of great herOism and sue
cessiOn of thrilling incidents. Joseph
Horner, well-knOwn merchant, lives
at this number with his family, consist
ing of his wife and child and two female
servants, and it was by his courage and
presence of mind that they escaped
from a horrible death. Shortly after
midnight the woodwork above the over
heated furnace caught fire. 1t was
12:45 when Mrs. Horner awoke with a
sitting sensation. She tried to open
her eyes and they filled with smoke.
She grasped her husband and shook
him violently. Mr.. Horner, bounding
out of bed, cried to his wife to put
on some wearing apparel and,
snatching up the little girl, who
the hallway. The flames and smoke
were sweeping up the stairway, and for
moment he was discouraged. He
looked at his wife, who stood beside
him only in her night-dreSs, for she had
made no move to put anything on, and
at the little girl in his arms, similarly
clad. With the thermometer Is deg.
below zero exposure meant almost GER
tain death. Approaching this, and
taking his chances, he CROPPED his way
to front room, seized couple of wraps
from chair, wrapped one about the
child and threw the other over his wife's
shoulders. BY this time the stairway
leading down was on fire and escape
seemed cut off. Selling his wife around
the waist with one arm and the child
with the other, Mr.. Horner half stag
gered, half fell down the stairs. He
last effort, threw open the front door
and rushed into the street. Horner
then started back into his house
to save the two servants asleep
on the top floor. A thick
and steady volume of smoke now poured
out of the front door, and fighting
through this Mr.. Homer encountered a
sheet of flame at the top of the stairs.
1t scOrched his face and singed his hair,
bnt, undaunted, he fled UP the stairway
to the top floor and burst into the Serv-
ants room. Both were asleep and
nearly SuffOcated with smoke. Throw
Ing few wraps about each OF them, he
seized an arm of each and started down
stairs. The flames had eaten their way
through the stairs by this time, and to
safely pass them seemed impossible, but
the courageous man, almost carrying the
girls, somehow got safely through. The
stairs, as he stepped them, seemed to
drop from in under him, and when he
reached the street the night-dresses of
the servants were on fire. 1t was then
that Mr.. Horner found time to cry
Fire" Windows in all the fine resi-
dences along the boulevard were hastily
thrown open. and scared faces looked
out upon the flames issuing from the
Horner residence. When the engines
arrived the flames were quickly extin-
gulShed. The loss was about $4,000.

went up in smoke about week ago.
The second fire was confined to the
three upper stories of No. 29S Dearborn.
About $4,000 will cover the loss, nearly
half of which is on the Union type

The remainder of the damage is equally
divided between John G. Dale, owner of
the building: John G. HanlOn, blank
book manufacturer; the American
Printing company and the Weston
