frightfuI havoc appeared in the south
west at 6:27 O'Clock Friday evening.
A low, funnel-sllaped cloud was seen
to form near the city. A heavy
downpour of rain had been falling,
when suddenly the humidity became
intense. Witha roar that could be
heard great distance, the storm ap-
proachea from the southwest and des-
cended, upon the city. The greatest
loss of life is reported from the East
End, in what is known as the "Cot-
ton Mill" settlement. The large cot
ton mill there was partially wrecked
and probably 400 small houses were
demolished or badly damaged. The
tornado swept front street and
wrought great damage there. Many
houses were demolished and others
were partially damaged. The electro
light plant was partially wrecked,
and to add to the terror of the sltua-
ton the city was thrown into. total
darkness. Lanterns, candles and even
coal oil lamps were used by the peo-
pie i'll seeking places of safety. The
tornado also did severe damage on
l'wenty-second avenue between Front
and railroad streets. Several houses
en- this avenue were partially wreck
ed. The work of the storm lasted for
only a brief period, many people
claiming that the entire destruction
was wrought i'll the brief space OF five
minutes.

Nebraska golfers, quoted by the New York
Sun. Now. beyond the Mississippi we
get natures own golf courses. for the
lands 20 the prairies are as unduiating
and close in turf as the seashore links in
the British Isles. We don't build bunkers
or dig traps for hazards. The land has only
to be smoothed with a roller to form the

out according TO the lay OF the land to
make good one. two or three shot hole.
It's ideal golf and II we didn't have to
hustle so hard for a living we surely
would develop an amateur champion in

There is one thing we have done that IL

golf tournament and a new name for II.
