publication in the News of yesterday morning of tho report that a teachor and sixteen scholars had been lost and frozen in Thursday's storm in 12'2-GG, in tho absence of any informa- tion confirming it, there was a faint glimmer of hope that it was but, fate seoins to have decreed other- wise. Yesterday several parties were up from Warner, each of whom stat- ed that word had been received at Warner about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, that tho party who had gone in search of tho lost had found bodies of tho teacher and six of th-jchildren, all frozen dead. reports from there aio to tho effect that the bodies of nine of the children had been found. It is impossible to learn the names of the children who mi't such a fate, and even the name of the teacher can not be learned. In fact, none of the details can bo learned.

The school house from vhich the lost wandered is said to bnrteen miles west and ono mile north of Warner, and the first ono west of Snake creek in Edmunds county. A Round Salary. ST. PAUL, Jun. M.

Wnrmer weather can bo expected. Reports from western stations show a rise of from 10 to 15 degrees. THE Aberdeen News of this morn- ing claims that Brown county has only two fatal cases of freezing to ro- port.

One of them is that of Win. T. Morrell tho particulars of whoso loss aro given as follows: "The facts lead- ing to the death of Mr. Morrell aro substantially as follows: At about two o'clock Thursday afternoon he, in company with Jud Westgate. left houso for the barn, about West- wont part way, but turned back and requested Morrell to do tho saruo but he, thinking to reach the barn in safety, pushed on and was never seen again alive.

THE MARKETS. CHICAGO GtlAIS AXD CHICAGO, Jan. the markets on 'change are weak and lower.

May wheat opened otie eighth of a cent off at and then sagged off to 83; and became steady and lower around 84. In the afternoon session the mar- ket weakened and May closed at Corn was remsrkably dull. May closed at Provisions opened weak. May pork was raided, closing at 14.57.\. May lard sold at 7.47A((/ closing at the former figure.

CHICAGO MONEY. CHICAGO, Jan. was an improved demand for call money at the banks and more of this class of loans are being made. Money on call is firm at per cent while tho banks are trying hard to keep time loans at 7 per cent and little money is going out for less than that price. New York exchange is 50 cents premium.

The pairs in the Lamar confirma- tion were as follows: Those in the aQirmativo were: Senators Blackburn Enstis, Gibson, Hearst, Kenna, Pasco Payne. Kansom. Those paired in the negative were: Senators Chandler, Johes of Nevada, Mnnderson, Morrill, Sabin, Sawyer. Teller and Wilson of Iowa. Nor a day should be loat by tho county authorities, or any of the char- tablo organizations of the city Bounty, in making provision for as- sistance to such unfortunates as aro made temporarily helpless by the lato disaster.

The big end of a hard winter is still before us. No worthy man or woman or child must bo per- mitted to actually Buffer through lack of food or clothes or fire. The case fully warrants a wide deviation from ordinary strictly legal measures. Families must be aided at their homes, whore their own efforts may be most economically and effectively supplemented by tho helping hand. Homeless young men, dependent for a living upon their own labor, now crippled, must not now be made to feel that there are no warm hearted people, when a fellow is down, out- side of the proverbially "whole-souled about the dens of vice.

There is olenty here for all. and the volun- tary distribution which makes the giver even happier than the receiver, is a vast improvement over tho an- archist plan. The opportunity is now especially open for genuine pri- vate and public charity, the main point is to improve it roundly, RIGHT NOW..
