Saved Children in Mig blizzard.

great blizzard Of January II, 1883 1t WAS
in the Mldvale school house that Minnie
Freeman, a modest and unaspiring school
teacher, saved the lives of her thirteen
pupils on that memorable day. With the
assistance Of her older pupils Miss Free

severest blizzard that ever swept this sec

For this act of herosm Miss Freeman
received many words of praise. not only
from the press of this, but of other states
as well. As a BETTING testimonial to her
heroism The Omaha Bee at that time
asked for popular subscription In her be-
half and fund of considerable magnitude
was subscribed.
The loss of the building entails but little
hardship upon Midvale district, as suffi-
Client insurance was carried TO cover the
loss. A new and more commodious building

The case had been tried by a jury for the

signed, and based on this affidavit, the de-

This was overrued, as was also a motion
for a new trial.
The defendant was asked by Judge Hurd
II he had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. For an instant
DR.. Cate stood motionless, and the color
left his face as II by magic. With lips
quivering, he raised his hand saying:
II have something to say II I may be
permitted"
Wheeling around, he pointed his finger
scornfully at the prosecuting witness, who
was sitting just outside the railing. and
accused MIN ana other witnesses In the
case of classifying. He insisted that he
was innocent and that he had stated the
facts. adding:
II know I will stand acquitted before
higher tribunal" The court then referred
further to the character of the crime, the
standing of defendant in the community
and his usefulness as a physician; also
the sympathy due his wife and little chill

to take into consideration any of these
things and said:

IMPROVED MEMORY
And Increased Weight From Eating
Proper Food.

The memory and other important func-
lions of the brain are greatly influenced
by the conditions OF the digestive organs.
This may seem strange TO persons who
do not stop to realize that every new cell
in the brain is made up from the food
that is taken into the stomach. because
every thought wastes cells which have
to be replaced by others
When the proper food is used and fully
digested. so there's no fermentation and
poisonous waste manufactured in the
body, and the new cells are built in as fast
as used up, the brain becomes clear and
memory is sure TO be improved.
Michigan woman writes:
Three years ago was in a very bad
condition. nerves so worn the least sx-
element would cause collapse and I was
thin almost to emaciation.
