TERRIBLE WINDSTORM.
Much Damage Done to Property-Se Sever
al Persons Injured.

Omaha, Neb. April pa special to the
Bee from St. Edward, Boone county, Ne
braska, says: -
A terrible windstorm approaching almost
to the fury of hurricane swept this place.
tonight, doing great deal of damage to
property and injuring several persons. The
wind was accompanied by hail, which COW
cred the ground to the depth of two inches,
some of the hailstones measuring five inches
in diameter.
The storm began about o'clock when
a threatening cloud appeared coming from
the south. When about two and a half
miles of town 1t blew the house of Mrs.
Russell all to pieces. The family saw it
coming and took refuge in a cave and thus
escaped injury.
Trees two feet in diameter were broken
off or uprooted. The house was a total
wreck and the household goods were dis
tributed over an area of mile. The barn
and granaries were destroyed and consid-
cradle live stock killed. Leon Sissoh living
near had his barn, granary and kitchen
torn down. AT the farm of w. A. Nc
Cutchin, little farther on, the fury of the
storm was the worst. Mrs. Sprague, OF
Sioux City, the aged mother of Mrs. Nc

POMRENE MAKING
CLOSING SPEECH
Was Scathing in0His Reference
to Mrs. George.
HE WILL CONCLUDE TODAY
Insisted That the Jury Should Not Con-
slider the Character of Saxton, But
Should Thoroughly Sift the
Evidence At Hand.
He WILL CONCLUDE TODAY

Canton, o., April 26.--The closing argu-
ment in the trial of Mrs. George was in
progress when court adjourned this even
ing. Prosecuting Attorney Pomrene be-
gan his argument shortly after 2 o'clock
and will probably occupy the greater part
if not all of tomorrow forenoon in complet-
ing it. 1t is now thought that the jury will
be charged Immediately after the noon re-
cess on Thursday.
The day was without special incident so
far as the accused was concerned. Mrs
George sat all day with downcast eyes,
and was occasionally moved to tears as
the story of her crime was narrated.
The court room was crowded from early
morning to the hour of adjournment and
many who could not gain admittance stood
in the court house corridors all day to get
what they could hear and see at long range.
Prosecuting Attorney Pomrene spoke
briefly on the legal propositions of the
case. although he cited a number of au-
thorities for the judges consider alton in
connection with the charge to the jury.
He insisted that the extent to which the
testimony OF one addicted to the opium
habit should be excluded was for the jury
to decide according to the testimony on the
use of the drug, resisting the proposition or
the defense that the court or jury should
ignore the testimony entirely of one so ad-
dicted.
In summing up the case to the jury :he
prosecuting attorney insisted that the jury
should not consider what the character of
Saxton was or was not, and that If the ac-
cused was guilty the jury should so find,
dwelling at some length upon the subse-
quent results of an acquittal under sucn
circumstances when testimony had proved
guilt.
He argued that the accused was not the
simple country woman her attorney had
represented her, but that she had been car
ried away by her vanity her ambition and
desires which only rich man could graft
fly. He insisted with much vehemence that
when she secured divorce from her hus-
band she must either have sworn truly to
the good grounds for that divorce from her
either of which he said was pertinent to
this case
He insisted that her language and conduct
had not been that of a woman, such as her
attorney had represented her and recalled
the testimony of witnesses who had sworn
that Mrs Georges words were too profane
and too obscene to be repeated on the wit
ness stand. AS to most of the witnesses for
the accused the prosecuting attorney vas
disposed to be kind and considerate. He
charged them with nothing more than
mistake as to the time of the incidents they
narrated, and this he did only through the
testimony of others. He was, however,
very severe and scathng In his reference to

CAUSED CONSERVATION.
Publication of Kautz' Letter Considered
Unfortunate in Navy Department.

Washington, April 26.-The publication of
Admiral Kautz's letter referring to his no.
sition at Samoa caused absolute consterna
lion at the navy and state departments al
first reading, but there was soon exhibited
a disposition to minimize the affair because
1t was clearly apparent that the letter was
nothing more than a strictly private COM
munication passing between members of
the same family.
Nevertheless, coming as 1t does close
upon Cpatain Coghan's indiscretion and
following the publication of Judge Cham
bers' letter to his brother crticising the
Germans in Samoa, the opinion was held
that Admiral Kautz's letter could not have
mad other than a harmful effect upon the
relations between the United States and
Germany. The letter was brought to the
attention of the president and some sort
OF a reminder may be sent to the officer TO
be more careful in his correspondence.
NO orders have been issued to the Phia-
delphia to leave Samoa, as the admiral
says, SO it is probable that he made the
statement on that point in the belief that
he could adjust the differences between the
factions in Samoa within that time In
official German quarters the letter was not
treated very seriously, and there was no
indication that the German authorities
would take cognizance of It.
The spirit of fun in the letter appealed
to some of the diplomatic officials, who
laughed heartily over Kautzs descriptioh
of the young kings makeup, and this
amusing feature largely offset any irrita-
tion which might have been felt over the
criticisms contained in the letter. The i'm
preston prevailed however, that the navy
department probably would deal with tho
indiscretion in such way as 1t deserved.

Havana, April 26.-General Gomez and
the committee of consulting Cuban generals
are sending dispatches around the island
asking the various subordinate commanders
to make returns of the number of their
men, as it is believed that the rolls SUBJ
mitted contain too many cooks, camp fol-
lowers and privates who left the army long
ago. In the opinion of General Gomez no
more than 10000 are entitled to pay.
La Discussion says editorially:
'All appear imbued with a species of in
sanity. They don't realize the destiny
planned by the military administration.
For President Mckinley the Cubans don't
exist, but only Gomez, and Cuban inde-
pendence depends solely on President Nc
Kinley, who is guided entirely by the Cuban
American commanders in the island just as
Spain was guided by her captain general.

the government today refused to disclose
the terms of the American representations
concerning the tariff, saying they had
been transmitted to the secretary of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, for his
action. There Is much public anxiety. on
the subject because the period permitted

GERMAN EDITORS
HOLD A MEETING
Pass Resolutions Against lmper-
ialism and MilitariSm.
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY
Efforts to Stir Up Strife Between the
United States and the Fatherland
Condemned in Strong Terms.
Friendship Historical
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY

St. Louis, April 26.-The German news
paper publishers of Missouri held meeting
today for the purpose of defining thei po-
sition regarding the new policy of "imper-
ialism and miitarism."
DR.. Emil Preetorius, editor of the West
liche Post and the nestor of the German
press of America, presided, and after
lengthy discussion the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
First-Systematic and uninterrupted eff
forts have been made during the past
twelve months to destroy by misrepresenta-
tions and unfounded sensations, the good
feeling and historical friendship between
the United States and Germany. These ma
licious intentions have created among the
German-American population the greatest
indignation. We, therefore, regard 1t our
duty as loyal citizens to denounce these
continued falsehoods and misrepresenta-
tions which endanger the old friendship
of the two countris.
SecondAThe friendship between the
United States and Germany is as old as the
history of the great American republic, and
has lasted uninterrupted. For the govern
ment of Frederick the Great was the first
European power which acknowledged the
young republic of the United States; Ger
many was the first to acknowledge the su-
premacy of the United States in the Phil
ippines This fact alone proves plainly that
Germany has no unfriendly intentions and
no desire to oppose us in the orient.
Third-In the glorious history of the
United States from the time of George
Washington to the days of the civil war,
the German-American population has
shown strong and patriotic loyalty to the
union. In this, the darkest days of the re-
public the COMMUNICATIONS stood firm
and by the union they will do in the
future. We German-Americans and the
Germans in the old country have been
cruelty msrepresented. We proved our
loyalty during the past war and will con-
tinue to prove 1t, whatever the future may
bring. But we protest as emphaticaly
against all falsehoods and intrigues which
are intended to interrupt in the interest of
England the friendship between the United
States and Germany.
Fourth--True to the constitution and tra-
ditions of the republic we take firm
stand against militarism and imperialism.
knowing that the German-American citi-
zens stand almost unanimously against this
new course which would endanger the well
fare and the future of the republic.
