and her daughters sympathize greatly

ADOzEN PERSONS KILLED, AND MANY MORE
INJURED--RELlEF FORWARDED.
Town Struck Shortly Before 7 O'Clock and Only Two Build
ings Left Standing--PasSenger Train Turns Itself
Into a Temporary Hospital and Relief Train
blair Physicians to the Rescue.

OMAHA, NEB., June l4-A telephone
message from Blair says that the little
town of Herman, n few miles north of
Blair, was totally destroyed by a tor
nado last evening. The railroad men
say that not a building of any conse-
quence was left standing. Herman is
said to have a population of about six-
hundred. 1t is on the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway,
about forty miles from Omaha.
A train on this road passed through
Herman southbound an hour after the
tornado. The conductor says the car
mage was terrible and that he counted
ten dead bodies within sight of the
railroad track. Ae could not give an
estimate of the number of casualties,
which must be large.
Coming on down to Blair he gave
the alarm and u relief train was soon
made up. Volunteers were taken up
to Herman, including all the physi-
clans of Blair, and they are now doing
all they can for the wounded. The
car not be given until the relief train
returns to Blair at a late hour.
Advices received up to II o'clock
last night state that every building in
the town is destroyed except the pub.
lie school and a small dwelling, both
of which are on the outskirts. The
force of the wind was terrific, and
scarcely one piece of any of the many
structures destroyed was left intact.
The scene in the streets of the once
thriving and beautiful little town is
one of destruction. Wrecked build
ings and broken furniture are strewn
all around, while dead bodies lie in
in many places, the corpses badly dis
figured and some of them hardly rec
ognizable.
The flyer on the c. NJ. st. p. NJ. & O.
due in Herman at 7:O5 pulled in fifteen
minutes late, and the entire train
crew, turned themselves into a relief
corps and the train into an emergency
hospital. The train, unable to proceed
through the w~reckage, Immediately
returned to Blair with some eighty.
eight persons, this number including
one of the dead, Postmaster Richards,
and all of the wounded found up to
that time. Four members of a family
named Hopkins, living on the out
skirts of town, are reported dead, but
the report has not yet been verified.
The wounded as reported are:
Thomas Haynes of Blair.
Unknown man from Missouri Valley.
Mrs. Kline of Herman.
Shoemaker named Clausen of Her
man.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
train in Blair, the wounded were car
ried to the homes of the residents OF
Blair and the Christian hotel. The
train returned at once to Herman with
medical assistance, physicians, several
ministers and many townspcople.

Oddities In Umbrellas.

Many curious umbrellas are made
One have seen. says James Gilmer
Speed in Woman's Home Companion,
can be taken apart and put in ones
pocket. The stick Is of wood about an
inch in diameter. The cover can be
turned inside out and folded into a
small bundle. BY touching a spring
the ribs came off. straighten out, and
may be placed in the hollow of the
stick, which Is then a presentable
walking stick. 1t Is found very con-
venient by its owner. who is a drum
mer. Another is still more ingenious.
The handle Is curved and when a
spring is pressed pipe flies out. The
ribs are slowed away in the center and
the owner has a walking stick, but in
the center there is also a rapier, which
may be drawn out. Another neat in
vention is a hollow stick which con-
tains camp chair. Three steel sup
ports are pressed out of the top of the
stick. a triangular piece of canvas put
on, and seat Is had which is at least
as comfortable as bicycle saddle.
All of these strange umbrellas come
from the old world. The umbrella
makers say that Europeans take much
more pride in their umbrellas than
do people in this country. Many little
Jokes arc concealed in the umbrella
handles there. A handle may present
the appearance of the head of a mon
key or cat or some other animal, and
a secret sprinG will cause the little
creature to open - mouth and squirt a
drop of cologne on the beholder.
