society has had another upheaval. The
famous "4OO" has been reduced to

after much research has designated
"3S" families of this city whose blood
Is really blue.
Wealth will be ignored in this new
partition Of society. Blood alone has,
according to Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, been
the main consideration.
Such names as Vanderbilt, Astor,
Morgan, Gerry, Gould, Schermerhorn,
Roosevelt, Whitney, Wetmore, Goelet,
Crager, Winthrop, Rockefeller, Mills,
Rhinelander, and Kaernechin will have
no place on the charts. These promi-
nent families are not included in Mrs

ALMA, Neb., Dec. 16.-The mob that
pursued Sheriff Boyd from Franklin
with Bell and Tutman, the alleged
murderers of farmer Kreichtbsum,
still hold out. They have surrounded
the Jail and express their intention of
starving the officers out. There are
300 men in tho mob, all we'll armed,
and fight appears imminent.
The lynchers are waiting for rein
forcements, which are promised by
farmers in adjoining countries.
The body of the victim was located
owing to his dog having refused to
leave the spot where the body of his
master had been hastily buried in q
piypen.
No appeal can be made for troops a 9
there are none in the state. Sheriff
Boyd declares his intention to fgh
the mob If they attempt to storm tn e
Jail. The mob leaders refuse to per
NIT any communication with the Jail
and the town, and there is little food
to be had by the sheriff's posse, who
must soon yield or fight.

Holidays Commence Today.

The school children were let out OF
school today at noon for the Christ
mas holidays. Their hearts were made
glad with so much time to spend look
ing at Santa Claus.
The only school in the city which
had any special exercises was the Aoy
school. Here the Mexican children
under Professor Loptz, Maury Kemp,
Miss Lille Smith, and Mrs. Patterson
give one of their incest entertainments
in the way of songs, recitations, etc.
In each one of the grades there was q
Christmas tree arranged for the child
rem and these were loaded down with
lots of popcorn and dulces which were
distributed to the little tots after the
closing exercises.
No presents were given out except
in Mrs. Pstterson's grade, which con-
tains the youngest tots in the school,
and here she had present for each of
the fifty little ones.
There is no doub bt but what many of
the Mexicans went home ard tried to
explain to their parents what the San
ia Claus of the Americans is, and no
doubt they all think he is q great old
fellow.
