©ate her al some good school! ' Let us try to do something for this unfortunate pupil. On request the county superintendent has filed a bond with the county clerk clerk for $he proper disbursement of the Woebbecke fund. Gro. F. Burkerr. The Ber will receive and acknowledge any coutributions to the Lens Woebbecke fund. Friends at Deadwood. Deadwood Pioncer: At no place in the westare deeds of self'sacrificing heroism held in higher regard than Deadwood. —Sympa- thizing deeply, and desirous to testify in deeds rather than idle words, the respect and admiration that is here held for Miss Shat- tuck's fortitude, a number of gentlemen y torday dotermined 0 co-operate with the Omaha 13rx, and aid Miss Shattuck in a sub- stantial manner. Accordingly committees were appointed to solicit subscriptions in Deadwood and Lead City. The Deadwood committee is composed of Charles McKibbon, John P, Belding and A. E. Hoyt. That for Lead of Messrs. Allison and Bullock. The committee will ask donations of mining #tocks; the stocks to be forwarded to the Bee, and auctioned in Omaha for what they will bring. The money thus realized to be applied to the fund for Miss Shattuck's® ro- licf. Those desiring to contribute, and who may not meet a member of the committee,can Jeave their donations with M. G. Lincoln, at the Merchants’ National bank, who will 're- ceive and give credit for them, The under- taking is a worthy one, and will undoubtedly meet a ready and liberal response. Miss Shat- tuck's example of fortitude, courage and self- macrifice entitles her to @ nation’s admiration wnd gratitude. Nebraska's Generous Reply. Omaha Herald; Nebraska has reason to be doubly proud. Its school teacher heroines give primary cause, and the generous re- sponse to an appeal in the behalf of these brave young women would be creditable to an older and richer state. At first Miss ¥Freeman stood alone, and the proposition was to present to her some lasting memorial. Then, as returns came in, Miss Royce di- vided the praise, and later, when the storm had subsided and Miss Shattuck had been discovered, the congratulation and the sym- pathy were for the trio, The case of Miss Shattuck reaches fhe heart most directly. She is the one who was crippled and rendered unfit for future labors. For a time even her life was 1n the greatest danger, and only by the amputation of both foks whs it saved, It is fitting that sho should receive the largest sum, for while whatever is tendered the others will be purely in the nature of a tribute, & token of public regard, and a compliment’ to_courage, what she will receive will be not only this, ‘but will represent the wages she would have earned, In collecting these funds there has been no rivalry. Offerings have come from strangers {n tho distance, and from people in all sta- tions of life, 'The Bek has reccived a large sum, and one which is daily growing larger. 'he Herald did no soliciting, but announced hat it would care for whatever might be cnt in, and it will take pleasure in adding his and its own subscription to the fund now inthe hands of the Bek. That paper sug- osts that $6,000 be raised for Miss Shat- uck, and no doubt such an amount will be raised. Were the circumstances simply such 88 surround Misses Freeman and Royce, any urging would be in bad taste, and would rob the prescntation of its real meaning. The fact that Miss Shattuck is a poor girl as well s a braye one, and that she has been sup- orting her veteran father, alter all this, Let t be remembered that a fortune could not gully requite her, and that in contributing, very little counts. A Brave aud Worthy Girl. OAnA, Feb. 1.—To the Editor of the Ber: I have just received a lettor fromsRev. J. H. Presson, of Seward, Nebrasks. Mr. Prosson is the pastor of Miss Etta Shattuck, and he gives some facts .of interest to all. Mr. Shattuck, Fttw's father, left Seward some two yoars ago and went to Holt county, but whilo there ho did not raise any crops, and met with other losscs. Last fall e returned to Soward, leaving his_daughter in Holt county, to finish a torm of school. The amputation was performed in Seward ast Thursday by Drs. Reynolds and Potter. ir. and Mrs. Shattuck _are members of the M. E. churchi in Seward, and arc industrious but poor people, Mr. Shattuck had to borrow toney o bring his daughter back to Seward. he father s an old soldier. s Etta is 19 years old, is an_intell Bweet tempered, brave girl, and is @ true christian. Sho told her pastor lately: “When alone in the hay stack I sang and prayed to God. _The religion of Christ sustains me in this afftiction. 1 have sufferod but very little pain, for which I thank God.” Ho pastor says: “Sho has a wonderful faith. 1 believe her life was spared that sho anight show us how victorious & ohristian can Now, Mr. Editor, would itnot be well for us as churches to remember this christian girl in her affliction? 1 shall give my people an opportunity to do 80 next Sabbath. Her pastor, Rev. J. H. Prosson, of Seward, ‘will be the faithful custodian of any fund in- trusted to him, C. W. SavIDGE, Pastor Seward strect M. E. Church. Commenting on tho above letter the ?Illlmlm Republican said yvesterday editor- lly : ‘I'he Republican is certain that the sugges- tion of Mr, Savidge will receive the approval of the pastors of all the churches in the city. he case is one which appeals to the deepest sympathy, and the response is prompt. To 1ast evening the fund at the Bee oftice had ‘been swelled to §1,700. All over the state the people are contributing to local funds. The pu{.uu heart is touched, and every c l:-nnulh)n that human sympathy can’ bring er Miss Shattuck will receive, It will place her above want, and even surround her with luxuries, but after all the deepest consolation to her will be the sympathy of the thousands who pity her for her affliction, and love her for the qualitios they have dovéloped. The Freeman Family. % Mr. J. L. McDonough, editor of the Ord Democrat, and J. H. Ager of the same place ‘were at the Paxton yesterday. These gen- tlemen are citizens of the home of Miss Min- nie Freeman, and both well acquainted with the young lady. They state that Miss Freemaw's herolsm is fully. appreciated by the people of her home, and that she is held in the most tender regard by the people of Valley county. Miss Freeman appreciates fully the kind expressions from the people, yet is disposed to think that too much pub- licity has been given her actions during the storm. The mail the young teacher receives 18 enormous, and did she undertaketo answer every lotter addressed to her sho would be compelled to call to her aid several secreta- ries, However, Miss Freeman answers ouly those coming from responsible persons whoso futerest sho fecls 18 carnest. The waste busket of this young lady would be interesting rumaging for a col- lectorof the curious. Offers of marriage are not infrequent, requests for autographs or sentiments are many, applications for bits of the now famous rope with which the little ones were tied are many, whilo novel and ridiculous, not to say impident requests are numbered by the hundreds. The applications for pnotographs of the young lady are numerous, but_each of these Blo has declined. The father of this young heroine is William Freeman, now o resident of California, for- aerly & merchant and stock dealer at St. Paul, Neb. Miss Freeman is now living with an aunt, Mrs. Swift, of Ord, though she ends much time at the home of an intimate friend, Miss Hattio Kemmick, o teacher in Valley county. At an entertainment held at the Methodist Episcopal church, Ord, re- cently, Rev. George O. Ferguson, the pastor, presonted Miss Freeman with a bandsome gold watch and chain, the present of her friends in Valley county. Miss Freeman at- tended leap year ball at Ord last woek in which she represented Cinderrella A young telegraph operator of Ord was hoj orod by beiug escorted by the Nebraska heroine, and it is said the young gentleman did not succeed well in hiding the satisfaction he felt at the honor couferred. ‘Miss Frec man's every day life is not in the least dis- turbed by the fume which she has achicved. On pleasant days she may be scen on the streets of Ord, in a handsome little cart drawn by a spotted pony, her own property 1t is said that nerve and practical commou sense are characteristics of the Freeman family. Mr. Freeman was regarded as a man of sound judgement and indefatigable courage. Tweive years ago Miss Isabello Froeman, now the ‘wife of William Bell, an Bttorney-in Californis, taught school uear 8t Paul, Neb,, and durin there located and improves claim. Mr. Lee Heron, living at 1418 North Sev- enteenth street, Omaha, was we!l acquainted with the Freeman family It was, Mr. Heron thinks, 1875 when the fam came to St. Paul, Neb,, from western Pennsylvania. Mr. ¥ nan was engaged in the mercantile business at Ord, St. Paul and other towns of the state and was at one time in more than comfortable circumstances. Mr. Heron re- members Miss Minnie Freeman well, first as 1001 girl in 1576, while she was attending her residence & government pring Creck school, near St. Paul, and s a clerk in Walbach's dry goods storo at St. Paul, Neb. Miss Freeman lator at tended and'graduated at the York college. An Offietous Gentleman, A special from Lincoln to the Omaha Re- publican yesterday says: A gentloman from Valley county was in the city to-day, and re- ports that there is general indignation in that county over the wet blanket ter of cx- unty Superintendent Kates relative to the work done by Miss Frecman in ng her pupils from that terrible storm. Kates wrote to State Superintendent Lane as though he was still county superintendent, and though suggesting that Miss Freeman had done something out of the ordinary, implied that there was nothing in it to call forth this outburst of applauso that was going up from the Atlantic to . th Pacific. This gentleman says that she did tie the children together with a long twine string, and that she says, without so doing, she never could have saved them. The peo- ple of Ord and Valley look upon her work in that matter as the work of a heroine, and aro just as appreciative of her service as the people of the world outside. The people of Ord, where Miss Freeman resides, tried to suppress the issues of the local papers containing Kates® letter. At the meeting in Ord, when the watch was presented to her, the Rev. George Fur- gerson made the presentation specch, and it is said he surpassed his usual eloquence in the effort. Mr. Kates' rose to reply for Miss Freeman, and reiterated the same wet blan- ket stories told in his letter, and his best friends left the room, sorry for’ the course he had pursued. From a Teacher. Scnvyrer, Neb., Feb, 1.-To the Editor of the Bee: 1have seen no contributions to the teachers' fund from Colfax county, but will send one dollar (31.00) to Miss Shattuck would like to contribute to Misses Royco and Freeman also, but as I cannot do 8o, think Miss S. the most ncedy. Lam a teacher of this county, and spent the night of the storm in the school house with twenty of my pupils, We were quite comfortable, however, thanks to our director, who brought supper and lights to us. Hoping the funa for thoso brave girls will reach a large amount I remain, Cram Davis, A Nurseyman's Tribute. Hower, Neb.,Jan. 81.—To the Editor of the Bek: I think you are deserving of the greatest praise for the noblo work you are doing in behalf of tho heroine cause. You are not only affording relief for the suffering and desorvin g ones, but as well you are edu- eating the peo ple in the ways of the blizard, & thing which ought to be a much a_part of every teachers education as arthmetic, and should be onc of the requisites for gaining a certificate. Keep it betore the people in every possible manner, and may we never forget the terrible lessons it hus taught us. 1 will not offer a moneyed gift, to Miss Freeman, the teacher, who lead her littlo band to sarety: but enclosed pleaso find areceipted bill for two beautiful evergroen trees, With a request that Miss Freeman accept them and present the same to Mrs. Westphalen to be planted at the graves of the two little sisters Who perished in the storm, in remembrance of their noble acts of sisterly love, faithful- ness and devotion to each other in that last sad hour® Talso suggest that the nurserymen through- out the state contribute to the scholars saved by Miss Freeman enough cvergreens to en- close their schoolground—a living monument t0 the memory of the brave, hoblo teacher who saved their liyes. All honor to the heroine! and may such noble decds as hers be ever treasured in_our book of recollections, and may they each be a8 o thread in the cord that shall bind man- kind together in that bond of fellowship and humanity which will_onable us to comfort, help and support each other.

Now let everybody join hands and pull to- gether for the good of the cause. Will the lumber merchants of Nebraska aid in raising the Shattuck special fund? Arthur Baldwin, esq., is circulating among his fellow attornoys, soliciting subscriptions for the heroine fund, ‘The ladies are rosponding nobly. Will those who have not yet aided the cause join in the movement to Taise the Shattuck spe- cial fund? Tho “bachelors’ table,” at the Neligh house, West, Point, Neb., sends $10 to the Shattuck fund. “A mother" sends fifty cents to the Shat- tuck fund, the contribution of thr ear old boy, who sympathizes deeply with" the young teacher in her afilction. P. J. Walton of Sutton, Nebraska, col, lected at a sale near Sutton on Tuesday- and paid the same into the Be fund. The store of Charles Singer on N stroet near Twenty-Sixth, South Omaha, will give 10 per cent of the receipts of Friday Feb- ruary 8, and Saturday February 4, to the heroine fond.

THE INSANE Great Inconvenience Cansed By De- laying the Completion of the Norfolk Asylum-—Delin- quent Counties. [PROM THE DEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] There is evidently a lumber pool in the city of Lincoln as well as acoul pool, and the members of the state board of transportation who have secured reduc- tions on lumber rates to Lincoln would like to see the people get the benefit of them, In the month of December lum- ber rates were reduced some 8 cents per 100. This represents, on common build- ing material, a reduction to lumbermen of an average of $1.50 per 1,000, yet no one has been able to discover that the people have been benefited by this re- duction. A new joint tariff sheet has been received by the board of trans- portation that announces an additional reduction on lumber rates to Lincoln to take effect in o short time, this reduc- tion being about the same as the one made in December. A member of the board states that these two reductions represent an average of nearly $3 per 1,000 less than rates were at the close of the building season last fall, and that the people of Lincoln who build themselves homes during the coming year arein every sense entitled to the % per 1,000 reduction and the Doakd wouldr 11a 1t ses; ¢hie people re- ceive it, 2 reduction of this amount d means a great deal for the city and its building prosperity the coming ye When concessions are wrung from the railroads and the power of the state is invoked to gain reductions it is a hardship to all partics to have the middlemen swallow the profits. Con- scienceless coal men have maintained a lyuul through the winter that has swal- lowed 60 cents of the people’s money on every ton of hard coal consumed. For the good of the city and its upbuilding and the people who invest their money in homes it isto be hoped that the lumber dealers will not take pattern from the coul ring. POOR INSANE ACCOMMODATIONS, Lancaster county had to consign the second week to the county jail on account of the overflow at the insane hospital and a lady was in the city from Pawnee county with a patient for the hospital, who could not be taken, and had to be returned to the jail of Pawnee county. The officers in this county hold that in- justice is done the different counties and the helpless insane by the non-com- pletion of the Norfolk asylum, which is tilling county jails with'insane. A su- itendent and ‘steward have been pay for months at the Norfolk um, and yet no patients are re ceived there, which. gives very plausi- ble grounds for complaints from counties that have to keep insane in the common juil, with attending meagre accommo- dations. The insane man committed to the jail in this county yesterday has ‘been kept at the MHoward house by the city missionary for some time. The man’s name is Jones, and he claims to have relatives in Ohio. At the time of the great storm on the 12th he was caught out mear the village of Cheenoy, in this county, and was severly frozen in the face und hands, The day following the storm he walk to Lancoln to get assistance. The city missionary took him in charge and he hys been lying very sick with pneumo- nia, caused from exposure. Wednesday evening he showed marked symptoms of insanity, and escaping from his room Beiran oubin the unud. imd the treets until captured yesterday. The sheriff took him in charge. In the meantime the sheriff has the young German in charge who recently jumped from a window, and followed that up with cut- ting his throat from ear to ear in his fran tic efforts to suicide. This patient re- quires constant watching, and yester- morning he jumped through a scuttle-hole at the jail in a renewed effort to take his life Through the hours that he is awake he puts in his time searching for a nail or usplinter of wood for the avowed pur- pose of slitting his neck open where it has been sewed up. A more diflicult case to manage it would be hard to find. The sheriff has no accommodations at the jail for the violently insane, and he has no means at hand to hire the help absolutely necessary to care for them. In the light of such circumstances it no wonder that he, with the other county officials would like to sce the state hasten to prepare for the proper care of the insane. DELINQUENT COUNT! The 1st of February was the date upon which the time prescribed by law ex pired in which-treasurers are to make annual settlement with the state auditor. After this date the county treasurers who have failed to make set- tlement are liable to a penalty of 10 per cent interest. The following counties are delinquent” and their treasurers subject to the penalty: Boone, Colfax Custer, Cherry, Dakota, Dixon, Greele) Harlan, Hayes, Jeflerson, Lancaster, Logan, M elps and Sarpy. GOVERNMENT LAND RECORDS, The state auditor has received re- turns from the different government land offices in the state with the excep- tion of the North Platte office.

STATE HOUSE ITEMS, Returns were received yestorday by the state superintendent frow a dozen counties or more in answer to his cir- cular letter. From these counties no deaths or serious injuries wore reported. In a few of the counties reports wero made of teachers being obliged to burn furniture and in . one instance, in Wheeler county, the teacher burned a portion of the floor of the building to eep his school warm through the night. Several recommendations weére made in regard to recognition of heroic deeds and the reports were all full of encouragement for contributions. The state normal school board was called to meet last evoning at the office of the state superintendent. A large number of bills were in the hands of the secretary for the board to audit. John “Harper, county treasurer of Butler county. and A. J. Meals, county treasurer of Holt county, were at the capitol making settlement with the state auditor.
