OMAHA, May 13.-A special to The Bee
from Lincoln, Neb., says: Lincoln was
struck at 4:45 by a tornado which ragged
with undated violence twenty-five min
utes. During this period rain fell as from
q cloud burst accompanied by hail The
prevailing drift of the wind was from the
southwest, but at times it seemed to form
jim eddies between the business blocks and
was accompanied by cyclonic features.
Buildings were unroofed and torn down,
cornices swept from roofs into the streets
and the residence portion of the city nearly
denuded of trees. The greatest damage
was at the State Hospital for the Insane,
where many of the larger buildings were
unroofed.
The damage in the city will probably
reach $4,000 and may be much heavier, as
the suburban districts are yet cut off from
communication. The severely injured
are j. l.. Workman, head cut by flying
debris; A. L. Woodry, in collapsed
building; Mrs. j. b. Abbott, caught be-
meath horse; Henry Meyer and j. H.
Thorpe.
At the state asylum iron supports weigh
ing 300 pounds were blown several hun
dred feet. There is scarcely street in the
town which is not strewn with large
branches and whole trunks of trees up
rooted by the storm. In the main bust
ness part OF the city the Kelly block,
Ninth and p streets, suffered the worst.
Here the storm tore the tin roof from the
building, throwing it into Ninth street
and covering the sidewalks on two streets
with bricks from chimneys, etc.
The water completely drenched the en-
tire building The Beckwith building,
north of the Kelly block, was also partly
demolished, the loss being estimated at
81 900. The damage the Kelly block will
be about $1,000. The Bohemian Roman
Catholic church. q brick structure at tho
corner of Second and K streets, was COM
pletely destroyed.
A. l.. Woodry was injured. He had
backed his team under the church and was
trying to get the animals away to place
of safety when the edfice blew down upon
him. A large portion of the roof of the
Ideal Hotel was blown off, entailing
damage of s., 900.

Milwaukee Street Railway Strike.

MILWAUKEE, May 12.-Street cars were
running on many lines yesterday manned
by new men, mostly imported from Chi
cago. The company is advertising in the
local papers for more motormen and con-
ductors, and claims that it is receiving
applications by the score. The railway
officials assert that within three days cars
will be running on all lines as before the
strike and that they expect no trouble. 1t
is feared, however, that there will be
trouble, as the strikers are growing ugly
at the ominous manner in which they are
being ignored by the company.

Causing avPanic in a School by which
Several Children Are Hurt and Then
Comes Down Again Farther Along and
Resumes Its Devastation.
OMAHA, May 13.-A special to The Bee
from Elkhorn, Neb., says; A cyclone swept
this section yesterday afternoon. A fun
mel shaped cloud shot down from the storm
center and general stampede of citizens
for cellars and caves ensued. At the school
house the children fled panic-stricken to
the furnace room amid the widest con-
fusion, and a number of them were hurt.
The cyclone struck the ground north OF
the town. It's course was northwest. The
path of the storm was from 200 to 300 yards
wide, and everything in this path was
RACED to the ground,- including several
houses. Large trees along the highway
adjacent were torn and twisted out of the
ground.

catch him up again.

Those Astounding Adverbs.

One evening gentleman came home
with a budget of news. An acquaint-
ance had failed in business. He spoke
of the incident as "deliciously sad" He
had ridden up town in car with noted
wit, whom he described as horribly en-
tertaining," and, to clap the climax, he
spoke of the butter that had been set
before him at country hotel as "di-
vinely rancid"
The young people stared, and the old
est daughter said; why, papa, should
think that you were out OF your head"
Not in the least, my DEAR" he said
pleasantly. "I'm merely trying to fol.
low the fashion. l worked out 'divinely
rancid with a good deal of labor. 1t
seems to me rather more effective than
lawfully sweet mean to keep up with
the rest of you hereafter. And now" he
continued, "let me help you to piece
of this exquisitely tough beef"
Adverbs, he says, are not so fashion
able as they were in his family.-Bos-
ton Post.

The life of Solomon, as told in the
Bible, is finally brought to the moral
test. 1t is small matter, in the Bible
vie ", how rich he was. 1t signifies little
that he was sagacious diplomatist. 1t
matters not greatly that he was an able
organizer and had unequalled executive
talent. 1t is of secondary import that
he was famed for guessing riddles and
was a patron of science. All this. by
the Bible standard, is we'll. 1t captivates
the sensuous imagination. But none of
these thinge. nor all of them combined,
can win the final Hebrew approval. In
the king as in the slave, conduct. by the
Bible standard, is the only thing to be
ultimately judged. Solomon prayed
for ability to govern; he has done we'll.
He built the temple; he has done well.
He has secured for himself luxurious
palace, numerous harem, immeasura-
BILE riches. Has he in this done well?
What will be the moral effect on Solo
mon himself? Will he forget that the
urgent thing for him to do, the one all
important thing, is to keep his life right
toward Coda Night Voice from
the inner deeps speaks to the prosper
GUS king. Will Sol mon hear and heed!
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-11-07

neglect and despise the national wor
ship? Will he exercise the sensualist's
liberation Of religion? Will he be in
different whether his people remain
steadfast to Jehovah, or become idola-
ters? Will he shock the moral sense of
the nation by erecting temples to licent-
ious foreign idols, merely to please some
of his idol-loving wives?
Then Israel is doomed. Solomon, in
that case, cannot leave to his successor
on the throne a united nation. In that
case the temple on Mount Moriah. in
stead of continuing as now, Israel's
glory, will fall into ruin and be Israel's
shame. The temple will, in that case,
be throughout the world proverb for
the scorners of Jehovah. 1t will even
make its beholders hiss. And the ma
ton. now beloved of Jehovah and pros
porous as never before, will become
morally decrepit; it will lose its physi-
cal stamina and courage; it will sink in
to the enervating sensualism of idolatry.
The whole world will know,-even if de.
luded Israel should with stiffnecked
pride deny it,-that the cause of the ma
TONS ruin, the one inclusive cause of it
all, is its recreancy to Jehovah and turn
ing to other gods.
The physical quality of the Voice
which said this to Solomon, or the
method of the speaking, is relatively
important. The message is surely Gods.
1t is as true as Truth.
Solomon, we assume, when he
confessed to hearing such Night Voice,
declared it to be his purpose to follow
its solemn guidance.
And he did for season.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN.-The visible magnlicence of
Solomon captvates the imagination; but the
question finally asked, on the answer to which
the final human and divine judgment is staked,
Isl Was he In his soul an upright man?-GOd
speaks to his children In all ages by the same
essential method.--The Night Voice heard by
Solomon, whether in dream or by prophet,
was Gods Voice because it was true. 1t exactly
interpreted the nature of things.
a. V. Is. The Inner Voice approves
thus far. A Blessing is bestowed on Solomon
but 1t is a blessing with an If. He was rich,
famed. temple-builder palace-builder.-
BUT?-We have known a reputable and
promising young man to fall heir to a half mil
lion. He was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES?
(2.) v. As. Continued Prosperity de-
pendent on Obedience. From the present
vantage ground Israel can be led to be perma
nently one of the great world-powers. Let Sol
ONION set an example of subordination of self 10
Jehovah let him lead in living as soul rather
than as an animal, let him be patriot rather
than luxurious-lver. Israel will then be
welded 10 unity; Solomon's family will main
tain its claim to the throne through the genera
tions.-David's integrity was not blameess
Hlb,-lb WdS d pTouOUludbiIlR mural puTpOS6
He did not lose his moral light. Solomon could
we'll be his fathers imitator in his life-purpose
The young man who inherited half mil
lion had great prospect of usefulness and
true happiness open before him.
49, V. 60. Disobedience will bring its
Inevitable Fruitage. The self-satisfed Solo
mon was In danger of neglecting the require
ments of the temple he had built and dedi-
Gated. The result of his showing avor to the
sensualsm of idolatry will inevitably be the
moral lapse of the natlon.--The young man
who inherited half million was for season
morally sane; but he in an evil hour entered on
a course of dissipation; and In a surprisingly
short time he became morally insane,-a moral
and physical wreck,-his life ended In shame,
1t points the terrible moral to add that his only
son, who was but child when his father came
to his dreadful end, grew up to inherit rem
nant Of his fathers fortune, and to initiate his
fathers example and come to like pitlable re-
suit of moral ruin. A true life-story).-
mon was rich; but he had need to pray with
Agur prov. 3O:9) to be delivered from the
moral danger of riches,-"Lest l be full and
deny the thee, and say. Who is the Lord?"--
But Solomon In some degree. now sees his dan
ger. His visible prosperity will continue for a
season.
