Then, too, there is no place to put them, even were the va- grancy laws strictly enforced, During the day the cheaper saloons are crowded with these idlers, who patronize the warm fires in one place till invited to leave. Some other like place Is then patronized, and 50 on till midnight, when all are turned out by the closing of the saloons. All who can ba accommodated at the police station are received there, but this is but a small fraction. The others crawl into box cars, sheds and empty buildings as best they can, or walk the streets till daylight. These men live entirely by begging, as a rule, from liouso to house in the residence portions of the city. They seldom ask for work, knowing its scarcity. They find little difficulty, however, in eating without laborin as most people, and notably the poorer classes, never refuse to give them something, Very often the giver believes that he is belng im- posed upon, but for fear of refusing a really deserving man feeds the applicant anyhow.

At the very height of the rm, which lasted for over twelve hours, the temperature was 12 below zero. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the tempest was in its wildest fury, Sergeant Brown left Havre, a railway village seven miles distant, whither he had gone In_the part of the day, to return to Fort Assinabol His friends became alarmed soon aflei departure, and telegraphed the fact of his starting from that point. The storm subsided about 2 o'clock the next morn ing, and it was believed at the post that Ser geant Brown had taken refuge at some ranch along Milk river, not far from Havre, and woull show up in the morning, safe and sound. But day dawned upon a dreary waste in all dircctions, Brown was nowhere in sight. At stable call his horse, jaded, sore and forlorn, bearing ~evidence of having drifted before the blast for many miles, came into the post. A searching party was quickly organized, and taking the track of tae ride less horse, they entered upon a hopeless quest. They found where the horse had taken shelter in some brush near Beaver creek, also the packages which the sergeant had purchased. These articles were picked up about threo miles from the garrison. Weary days have elapsed. gince the horse came in, but no tidings of the unfortunate soldier have been heard. It is feared that his remains have been eaten by the wolves and will never be recovered. The snow drifts are decp near where the horse stopped in the brush, and in that viclnity faint traces of foot prints were discovered. These seemed to indicate that Brown, becoming cold, dis- mounted to find his way a-foot, and if possi- ble, to avoid freezing by the exercise.” Ser- geant Brown was well known here, and great regret is expressed by all”over 'his awful ate, Adjutant Grote Hutchison of the Ninth awry, Fort Robinson, has been granted a short leave.

AN APPEAL TO CHURCHES. 5o Askod to Lend a Helping Hand, Every worshiper who enters a church door in Omaha today will have an opportunity to assist in some degree In the task of sustain- ing the poor and destitute, for whom these winter days are burdened with hardship and Charity will be the theme of every service, and the invitation to lend a helping hand in the werk of benevolence wilk bo heard from every altar. At the public mecting held at the mereial club last Monday afternoon a plan was formulated by which it is hoped that the local charitable organization may be enabled to continue Its work through the winter. he report read by Mr. Thomas L. Kimball of the Associated Charities showed that the calls for assistance were much more numerous than ever before It was also. stated that the receipts had boen but little more than halt what they were last year. In consequence the organization found ftself in continual embarrassment and unless somes thing was done by public-spirited citizens to as:ist, many a poor family must be left to suffer After hearing the unanimously They Wil suffering Com- report a resolution was. adoy requesting the clergy= men of the city to issue an appeal to the members of their various congregations to become members of th 1 Charities nd end in their anual ducs of $5 as soon as possible. This appeal will bo issued from the pulpits this morning, and Secretary Laughland says that if 1,000 members can be secured it will provide the organization with funds sufficlent to run them through the winter. The membership need not nec sarily be taken by cne person. It is recoms= mended that in cases where persons can not afford to take a full membership, they pook issues and each contribute a certain propor ton. It is expected that many well-to-do citizens will take mere than a single mem- bership, and by this method the necessary funds may be provided to continue tho work of relief which has been undertaken by the organization.
