A FARMERS EXPERIENCE IN A
NEBRASKA CYCLONE.

lines, and SIM Lives.

Omaha, May IA special to the Bee
from Lincoln, Neb., says: A cyclone
swept this section this afternoon. A
funnel shaped cloud swept downward
from the storm center and a general
stampede of citizens for caves and cell
lars ensued. At the school house the
school children fed panic stricken to
the furnace room amid the widest con-
fusion and a number of the children
were hurt.
The cyclone struck the ground north
of town. The path of the storm was
from 200 to 400 yards wide and every
thing In IL was razed to the ground. In
cluding several houses. Carl Johnson,
a prominent farmer. was caught in the
twister. lie had endeavored 10 skirt
the storm by driving in a meadow west
ward, but before he could lash his
horses out of the path of the hurricane,
he was caught in It's vortex. Man.
horses and wagon were carried through
space together with fence boards. posts,
wire and other debris. His clothes were
literally torn from his back. and he re-
ceived a number of wounds. At times
the wind would raise him high In the
air and drop him back to the earth
only to catch him up again. In his
flight he would describe a circle, and
when the storm finally passed over him
he was $50 yards or more distant from
where the storm first struck him. AZ
ter traversing a distance OF about two
miles. the funnel cloud arose suddenly,
as II had shot down to the earth, and
at a point five or six miles further to
the north. dropped again TO the earth.

BURNED IN AN EXPLOSION.
Serious Accident Occurs at White
Bear Lake.

2. j. Lawless, local boilermaker,
was terribly burned Tuesday morning
in an explosion Of gas at White Bear
village.
One of the oil tanks used by the
Standard Oil company for the delivery
or gasoline by Nose Tart had become
leaky and it was taken to Henry Ger
ken's blacksmith shop for repair. Mr..
LaWless went out from the city to do
the work. The oil had all been drawn
eff and the manhole on top of the tank
was open. Mr. Eawless, to test it,
threw in some live Goals, and as no ex-
plosion occurred he thought it safe,
started to mount the tank with a light
ed candle in his hand and found it
was loaded ~.
AS he stepped up on the wagon Mr..
LaWless used q the hand holding the
candle to steady himself, and as he
placed it above his head close to the
orif1ce. the gas took fire and exploded
with report that was heard several
blocks distant. burning the hair and
eyebrows Of Mr. Lawless off clean,
soaring his ears, neck and hand Sc
verely. The shop was badly wrecked
by the conclusion, the ceiling over the
manhole being reduced to kindling
wood and the roof lifted so that the
shingles all bulged out of place. No
one else was hurt except the black
smiths helper, who was shoeing a
horse near by, and had his knee hurt
by the horse. This was the eighty
fifth tank Mr.. LawleSS had repaired
and his first accident.

cusslon at meeting of local news
gatherers held yesterday afternoon at

1T WAS 4 GRAND CONCERT.
That Given by Assumption Church
Choir and Sefbert

Assumption church was filed to the
doors last evening on the occasion of
the grand concert given by Sefbert's
orchestra and the choir of the church.
The programme was indeed a grand
one and grandly rendered. The most
ambitious number on the programme
was the Fortyzsecond psalm (MendeIs-
sehn), given by the choir, the solo parts
being ably carried by Miss Anna
erode. Miss erode is a pupil of Emil
Onet and Is possessed Of q wonderful
voice of bird-like sweetness and dra-
matte power and which easily filed the
great church. The quartette at the
close OF the number was given by
George Gerlach, John REM. ID. KinteI
and Peter Heck. The work of the
choir throughout the programme was
OF high dramatic order. The voices
have evidently been well selected for
such work and have been we'll trained.
The director of the choir is John s.
erode. Another choir number with
orchestra accompaniment was Vie
gand's Gloria" Katie Heidenreich
and Herr Sehmitz carrying the solo
parts An alto solo with cello obH-
Gato was given by Lizzie thinner and
there were two beautiful Ave Ma.
rias," solo by John Bayer and a duet
by Miss Tina thinner and Miss Ger

the choir and orchestra and Louis

tette and Maennepehor number from

sEIBERTss THIRD CONCERT
Is Enjoyed by the Usual Enthusi-
asfic Audiences.


Seibert's third Sunday concert Of
the present season attracted the usual
crowd or music-loying people yesterday
AFTERNOON. The p programme differed
from the preceding ones in it's breadth
or selection. Numbers upon 1t APP
pealed to some which did not inspire
others, and Its n1ake-up, perhaps, did
not satisfy the audience generally. as
have others rendered this season. The
nrSt number was the march, "Hon-
golSe, by u BerHoz. 1t might have
been that the audience was in a mood
TO enjoy musicrof q popular character,
or containing the military swing of
the 'Hongroise," for that number ap-
peared to take as well as any of the
others. The second number was Bee
thoven's Symphonic" which always
appeals to the soulful and those appre-
clatlng the hidden motive of a mas
terp1ece.- The selection was a contin-
uauon OF the symphony played the
sunday before, and contained three
movements. Griegs "Elegische Melo-
diem for strings contained a theme
which pleased the audience. The weird
STRAIN SO peculiar to Grieg was partic-
ularIy noticeable in this selection. The
lntermezzo following this selection was
popular In character, showing the tai
ent Tor melody of Kratschner, it's COM
poser.
ne SOPRANO SOLO by MISS Anna Hahn,
a St. Paul girl, was enthusiastically
applauded. The AVE Maria" she sang
did not display the flexibility of her
voice as did the two German ballads
she sang as encores.
Messrs. William NARROW and G. H.
Hubbard rendered cornet and clari-
net duo with orchestral accompani-
ment, the selection being Alpine" by
Nefb1g. The number bore with it the
fascinating melodies Of the Swiss and
the peculiar Alpine echo effect. An
encore was demanded and given. The
last number on the programme,
a Musical Critics Dream" by
Dix, was clever and well ar
ranged adaptation Of the popular mel
ody Annie Rooney to operate and
classical accompaniment, weaving in
at times strains from the masterpieces
of the great composers
