beast, on trial. Each bottle has line
on it, about an inch from the top, called

below this mark, it must be paid for.

A VIOLENT TORNADO.
1t Devastated Wide District Along the
Republican River In South
Central Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 18.--A violent
tornado has devastated wide district
along Republican river, in south central
Nebraska. A special from Franklin
says that it swept rapidly northward,
devastating the farms, groves and cat
tie ranches that lay in it's path. The
tornado lifted the water from the river
bed where it crossed, forming great
volume of spray and water that flooded
the valley behind it.
Six farm houses were torn to pieces,
together with outbiIdings, but no one
was killed near here so far as is known
The tornado veered eastward from
there.
