i OUR THREE NOTED HEROINES Mies Minnie Freeman Writes the “Bee" a Letter. HERS A SIMPLE ACT OF DUTY. That is the Way She Speaks of Her Brave Action—Miss Etta Shat- tuck's Sad Case—More Contributions. Miss Minnie Freeman, The case of Minnie Freeman is an excellent filustration that fame comes unlooked for if it comes at all. A teacher ina Nebraska district school, unknown suve to a circle of friends who appreciated the characteristics which appeared in her every day life, und loved and admired her accordingly, her name has come to be a_houschold word, not alone in the state of Ncbraska, but through- out the entire union. The very complete ac- count of this young girl's heroic conduct, which was published exclusively by the Bee, has been copied and commented upon by the leading journals of the country. Men and women in other states have written to the journals published at their home prais- ing the brave girl for her action: sermons have been preached upon the subj g divines, and the tale of Minnie F'r and her thirteen pupils has been told in every town and hamlet of the land. It is no wonder that the young girl is embarrassed under the = weight of attention forced upon her. This attention, however, is a privilege the Ameri- can people are entitled to take with one who has proved worthy of ¢ tribute accorded her, If Miss Frecman bears up as bravely under the mass of compliments forced upon her, she will achieve an additional reputation to that already enjoyed. A few duys ago the Bre addressed to Miss Freeman i note re- questing a brief sketch of her life and the corroboration of the rcport of her action Auring the storm.

Accompunying the present was the follow- ing letter: SAN FRrANCIsc Miss Minnie Freeman, M I hand you this watch and chain as the expression of a distant stranger's appreciation of your cour- ageand presence of mind, your unselfish- ness and readiness to riek yourself for others as shown in the recent great storm. Thave received only the telegraphic ac- counts of this good deéed, by which I learn that you secured them by arope and led them to safety against the embattled ele- ments.

The chain is wrought in the semblance of a fope, to always remind your friends of the means by which you led precious lives from peril to safety. Upon the case are stars to testify that you are amongst the stars of your sex, and un example to men, whose greater strength should lead them oftener to risk themselves for others, for * er love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.” Iam, your friend, A, ANprews, The beautiful token will be forwarded to Miss Freeman to Ord, Neb, Who Miss Freman Is. If there is such a thing as the martyrdom of fame, Miss Munic Freemun is certainly enjoying it to the fullest extent. Though she has declined in a charming manner to give a sketeh of her life the Bek has secured a fow facts in councction therewith which will prove of interest. Miss Freeman was born in the year 169, and with her parents came to Nebraska from St. Paul in 188 Fora time Miss Freeman resided in York and attended the York Methodist college, in the art class of which she distinguished lier- self s yn artist in oil, crayon and w ors. In thospring of 1886 Miss I graduated at the York college and in 18 cepted u position as teacher in the Myra Val- ley district. Her parents are Ve living and her brother, Freeman, is an attorne at law Miss Freeman is a little above the medium heignt, dark hair, grey eyes and a remark- ably pretty girl. She is said to be an excel- lent musician and the possesser of a charm- ing voice. Sincothe publication of her heroic conduct Miss Freeman has received a large number of letters, one_of which offered the heart and hand of the writer to the fair heroine, The young lady is of a retiring dis- position, and_the embarrassing position in which she is placed will be appreciated by the people. It would be useless, howey stem the tide of complimentary rema forced upon any of Nebruski's heroic teach- ers, Miss Etta Shattuck. If the misfortune of human beings can incite the people of Nebraska to liberal con- tributions in the aid of those who ave d ing and in need, certainly the cloud just now enveloping the happiness of Miss Etta Shat tuck of Seward, will prompt the most liberal donations on the part of the citizens of the state. On the night of the storm Miss Shattuck took refuge in a hay stack and was exposed to the elements for a periad of seven- ty cight bours. The exposure was productive of the most unfortunate results, Thursd afternoon the poor girl submitted to an oper- ation at Seward, in which both of her limbs were amputated just below the knees. The poor girl bore up bravely and will probably ive. Miss attuck was a teacher in the public schools of Holt county and is nincteen years of age. Unlike the Misses Royce and Freemun she was not burdened with the care of little ones us all of her pupils were sent to their homes n time to avoid the effects of the storm. To the little ones in her care she dis- charged every obligation, and saw to it that each was promptly sent to their respective homes, after which she endeavored to reach her own_abode, with the disastrous results stated. No less deserving is she than the others. Miss Shattuck’s futher is a veteran of the late war, and by reason of wounds re- ceived in the service he is incapaci tated for labor. The family ha been dependent upon the earnings of their brave daughter, and now that she has met with this misfortune the aid of liberal Nebraskung will come in good use. At a time when strong men as well as frail chil dren were meeting death in the biasts Etta Shattuck cdischarged her duty well, pro vided for the little ones in her ‘care, and the endeavor to save herself met with the worst of misfortunes. Her sad coudition calls for prompt relief. She is one of Ne braska's heroic teachers, and as such is en titled to a cordial recognition by the people of the state. Contributions should be sent promptly. The Bex will receive and prouptly acknowledge in these columns donations to whe Shattuck fund, MISS SHATTUCK'S FUND.

George read the art- icle, wiped the moisture from his eyes, and walked to the desk and, drawing forth a sheet of paper about a yard in length whic the firm us to strike their trial balance upon, wrote a brief introduction. stating that the object of the document was to collect money for the young lady's relief, and taking his broad stub pen subscribed £10 in the name of the firm as a starter, and announced his intention of not ceasing to labor in the good cause until that sheet was full and run- ning over.

The Omaha Ber has started a fund for them, and daily contributions are acknowledged. ' The fund should be made arge enough to place the two brave girls vond the necessity of encountering s duplicate of their la ble expericnee, The Heroine Fund. Tt will be a lasting credit to the people of Nebraska if the funds now started in recog- nition of the courage displayed by the Misses Freeman, Royce and Shattuck amounts to a handsome sum. The bravery of each, the sufferings of all three, demand prompt and appropriate recogmition. It is expected now that this matter will be no longer ne d, and that contributions will come in in pro- portion to the financial ability of the donor. YESTERDAY'S CONTRIBUTIONS, M. V.

" asseutiony, MAYOR BROATCH ARRAIGNED. If the Fire Department is Reduced, Insurance Rates Will Increase. TALKS WITH BUSINESS MEN. The Letter Received by B. F. Baker— The Coasters' Work—A New and Trust Company— Other News. Reducing the Fire Department. The interview with Mayor Broatch, pub- lishea in sterday's Bee, showing the inadequacy of the money awailable for the support of the fire department for the next year attracted, universal attention. It was discussed on the street cars as citizens left for their homes last night: on the streets, in the hotels, and this morning monopolized attention in hundreds of the business houses in town, Yesterday BEE reporters were assigned to the duty of gleaning some of the opinions aavanced, with the following result: Max Meyer—1 don't believe in the reduc- tion of the fire department. The police and fire departments should never be decreased. If a cutting is needed, let it be done in some other places. The cut should be made with some of our superfluous officers, 1f there is not money enough uvailable to retain the fire department a8 it is at present, the city ought to issue bonds enough to tide over the diffi cuulty. These bonds could be sold abroad, orintown, Ipreferto have them kept in the ci . They might be held by some rich man, City bonds are good and sure, John A, Waketield —=To reduce the fire de- partment would be suicidal to the interestsof the v. Let there be an overlap. It is not the first time there has been one. We can afford to have an overlap in the matter of fir protection better than we could and did ha in grading. Of course the officials responsi- ble for the overlap could be sued on their bond, but nobody ever heard of their being sued for the excess grading, and it is not likely they will be sucd in th'e matter of af- fording fire-protection. A. Paxton—Yes, I've Vin the expenditures for the supportof the fire department, but I'd like to know which is worst, an overlap or to have half the city burn down. C. A. Canun—TI would favor a special taxs tion of the city to provide for the emergen, of this overlap. It would be a bad pol cut down the fire force and leave the prop- erty of the city at the mercy of poor fire department. The force ought to b kept as it is at present. Architect Mendelssonn—It would be su- premely foolish to think of reducing the fire department. It is not large enough as it is, and ougnt to be maintained at all hazards. St. A D. Bulcombe—I undes d it that there is an o ap notalone in the fire de- artment but in almost every fund in the I am informed by our financial men though I don't know anything about it myself —that there is an overlap in the police fund, and one in the sewer fund. Sewer contract- ors who did work iast season and even in the spring have not yet U paid. Even if all the bonds for sewer condtruction had been old ther would still, I understand 000 worth of work which could not be uid for, ow, another bond election has been called for some time next month, That s to authorize the issue of §200,000 in bonds Well, by the time the bonds are printed, corded, signed, sold and delivered, it will be fall. Contractors will have to wait till that time for money which they should have re- ceived long ago. During all this time the contractor: paying interest oh the money advanced by the banks. Now, what will be the result of this. It will give the city abroad a hard name and make our public improvements cost so much move. When contractors find there is no_money to pay fhem they will add probably per cent to their bids, to provide against® the uncer- tainty of payment, long interest and other . We ought to try to got what we can d to pay for, and there ought, conse- quently, be no overfaps. My idea of remedy- ng the defect is that we should have a sep- arate assessment for the city. Then we could tax ourselyes just as much as we wanted without being compelled to pay a proportionate amount on the same into the state tregsury. Just look at it. In 1874 Minnecapolis, with a population of 104,000, just about what e = now claim, had a valuation of £i4,000,000. s onl, £16,000,000. Her public debt then was ove two millions and ours now is something be ondamillion. If this separate plan of city essment we reated we would have all the money we wanted and then there would be no necessity for an overlap. rd Howell—If the fire department is , the insurance miums will rise Look at this (Mr. Howell then showed th Bee reporter the following note which he had but a short time before received. 1t read as follows:] OMAA, Jau, 27, 1853, —Please notify patrons to use all their influcnce to prevent a reduction of the fire department. If re- duced, an immediate advance in rates of 50 per cent will be made. Yours truly A M. WEIR, Secretary. r.

He had just gone out, and the time of his return was une tam. A young gentleman who represented him said that Mr. Weir had read the Bee's interview about the overlap in the fire d partment fund, and had said that if the fire department should be reduced 50 per cent, the insurance rates would be raised 50 per b read about the your, J. C. Cowin—The fire department should be increased instead of being reduced. We havew't got a fire department eqnal to the needs of the city.

A city like Omaha cannot afford to go with ction, and the proper officers can_certainy and means to pay and maintain a larger force and apparatus than that of the present de- partment. Please notify the tax payers of Omaha through your columns, that if the pro- posed reduction is made, an_immediatend- vance in insurance rates’ of 50 per cent will be made. The present condition of the fire depart- ment, the large area it has to cover, and the inadequate force and apparatus to do it with, was recently considered by the insul companics, and it was ds the insurance rates 25 per cent unle uld within three months add to the firc partment five standard steam_fire engines, hose carts, one hook and ladder truck, all the necessary hose, appapatus, horses and men.
