A Twister Follows a HaIIstoru,.


NELsOS, NEB--A terrible cyclone came
from the southwest and could be seen for at
least ten miles before it struck the town. 1t
was preceded by a terrific hailstorm, lasting
several minutes, after which the worst was
thought to be over, but this hope was blasted
by the appearance of the coming sto-ln,
which proved to be the most destructive that
ever visited this section of Nebraska
Clouds sailing around and around were
plainly visible for several minutes The
storm struck the town with terrible force at
6.15 p m Many rushed into cellars and
stores for safety The damages are estimated
at 100000. The First National bank was
unnoofed; the Opera House block unroOfed
and badly damaged. Union block unroofed
and the southwest end torn out; Arlington
hotel unrOOfed. A new school house which
was completed at the beginning of the year
at cost of 81, 500 was nearly DESTROYED: the
Presbyterian church was badly wrecked, and
large number of residences were completely
wrecked, there being nothing left to show
where they stood excepting the cellars and
foundations, one-half of one house, that of
Henry Pope, being carried along IN the track
OF the storm nearly eight miles with its con-
tents and Mrs Pope aud two children. For
tunately, however, the family escaped unin-
jured- Miss Mary Brayman, assistant prin-
eipal Of the Nelson high school, was buried
in the ruins of her house, her leg being
broken and her body badly bruised.
Most of the buildings were insured against
fire only and the loss to the owners will be al
most total.
The extent of the damage to the surround
country IS not yet known, but Is thought to
be very heavy.
Mrs. John Eaton was seriously injured and
the Rock Island round house wrecked

Evidence of Western Progress.

NV YORK, April 1.-The old, and much
sgitated question as to whether women shall
be admitted 10 the general conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, which this year
meets in Omaha, is the most important sub
Jet to be acted upon by the two Methodist
conferences of this district.
1t is thought that both conferences Will
vote overwhelmingly against the admission
of women. Eastern Metho1ists ara largely
opposed to their taking part in the general
meetings, while the western Methodists arc
just as strong in favor of it.
The majority Of the whole church IN the
country supports the innovation. but a three
tourths vote IN its favor is necessary in order
that the women may be victorious.
The Baltimore conference has already, by
vote OF 1S5 to 81, instructed its delegates to
Omaha to oppose the admission of women as
delegates unless there IS found to be a con-
stitutional majority on the other side.

He was highly respected by all
