TEACHER SHOWS PLUCK.
Mamie Robinson Rewarded for
Caring for Pupils in u Blizzard.

WEBSTER CITY, To-. Dec. s.
Mamie Robinson. a school teacher.
frail, but filled with grit, came nearly
perishing during the recent storm.
She has a school south of this city,
mostly composed Of small children.
Over mile and half from where she
teaches is her boarding place. and
some of the pupils live as far as two
miles from the little country school,
house.
The school was in session when the
last terrible snow storm came up.
Frightened for fear the little ones
would perish in the storm as they
went home. she dismissed school and.
taking one at a time, started for their
homes with them. 1t has since been
estimated that in taking the children
home she Travelled not less than four
teen miles through the binding snow
storm. and when She teached her own
home her feet and hands and face
were badly frozen.
The board of directors of the school
have given her a vacation with full
pay, and the adhliring farmers have
presented her with a fine horse and
buggy. so that in future she will not
have to walk from home to her school
house.

CHICAGO Dec. 8.-The lines Of the
Western Freight association met today
to consider through flour rates from
Minneapolis and st. Paul to the terri
tory of the trunk lines. The railroads
are anxious to evade the charge of 3
cents per 100 pounds which the trunk
lines have tackled on as terminal
charge. The Western lines object very
strongly to this charge and say they
will never pay it, while the trunk lines
say that it is a lighterage charge and
entirely legitimate. The Western roads
today announced that they would not
object to the charge if it was confined
to export business, but when the trunk
lines say that it must apply on flour
shipped to any point within the terri
tory of the trunk lines they say they
cannot stand it. 1t was decided at
the meeting today to inform the trunk
lines Of this fact, and then, if the lat
ter roads still insist, the Western roads
will abandon all through billing and
deliver the flour to the trunk lines at
their terminals and allow them to col
lect the charge from the consignee.

nothing but routine matters. The ques-

Special to the Globe
SIOUX FALLS S. D., Dec. 8-The
police are hard at work unraveling the
details of the horrible murder of Roy
Erickson, which occurred last night,
ard expect to be able to place the re-
spOnsibility for the crime before the
holding of the inquest tomorrow.
Erickson was found shortly after
midnight in an old shanty on Main
avenue. The police were raiding the
place for another purpose when the
horrible discovery was made. In the
next room sat the two men who are
now behind the bars for the murder.
One is William West, whose daughter
Erickson is accused of having wrong
ed, and the other is James Garrahan,
the owner of the shanty. Both men re-
fused to talk when arrested 1t is the
theory of the police that West and Gar
rihan lured Erickson into the shanty
about 6 o'clock last evening and then
hacked him to pieces with the bloody
axe which the police now have. What
puzzles the officers is the GOODNESS Of
the men and the apparent Indifference
of the alleged perpetrators to arrest. A
light was burning in the room, nothing
had been done toward disposing of the
body. and when the men were discov-
cred they were enjoying a social smoke.
Vests daughter was sent to the re-
form school at Planl1inton, and was
few weeks ago burned to death in the
fire there. Garrahan made a confess
sion today to the chief of police, in
which he implicated West in the kill
ing. West gives a strong alibi, sup
ported by a number of witnesses, and
it is the general belief that Garrahan
alone is responsible for the crime.

BARRELS MADE OF PAPER.
Invention Of Cleveland Man
Which Means Saving to Brew

John Vandevelde. of Cleveland, is the in
ventor of two articles which will have a ten
dency to decrease the price Of several com
modities, says the Toledo Commercial His
inventions are paper barrels and paper bot
ties for beer or other beverages. For long
time the price OF many liquid commodities
sold In bulk have been gagged by the price
Of the barrels in which they are transpor ."c
The barrels are constructed for the grea.er
part OF paper cardboard which Is impery.ous
to water. They slightly shorter In height
than the ordinary barrel. but will hold 81
much as they are without the usual blge Of
the wooden barrel. The paper in the walls OF
the barrel is three-fourths Of an inch In thick
ness Of many piles. between which are thick
coatings OF a specially prepared glue.
About the middle of the barrel Is single
hoop OF steel three inches wide and three
eighths Of an inch thick. This. therefore, ex-
tends from the barrel to such distance as to
permit Of the barrel being readily swung
about on it's center Pressed over the ends
of the walls Of the barrel are rims Of pressed
steel three-fourths OF an inch thick and ex-
tending forward three inches. 1t Is on an in
dented surface in the inner portion OF this rim
that the head of the barrel rests. The neaas
are also male Of paper slightly thicker than
that in the walls Of the barrel. They are held
in place by three bolts passing through the
barrel from end to end. Nuts on each end
hold them in place and permit OF the heads
being easily removed or placed in short order
