UGLY TORNADO
IN NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES ARMY POST AND
PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
WRECKED.
FIVE PERSONS DEAD
GREAT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE
DONE IN CASS AND SARPY
COUNTIES.

Omcha-At least five persons are
dead. two fatally injured and score or
more badly hurt and hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars worth of property de-
stroyed by a tornado which late Tues
day afternoon passed over portions of
Sarpy and Cass counties.
The heaviest property losses so far
heard from were sustained by the
United States army post at Fort Crook
and the Presbyterian college at Belle
vue.
The storm lifted and dipped at inter
walls, continuing southwark. doing
much damage to farm property.
Full details are not yet obtainable.
The first town struck was Papillion,
eight miles south of South Omaha. AT
that point the damage was not great,
the funnel-shaped cloud apparently lift
ing sufficiently to pass the town with
out serious damage.
1t again descended, however, as the
storm moved toward Richfield, four
miles of Papillion. In its path was the
farm of Gus Leader, whose farm build
ings were entirely destroyed and his
son. Charles Leader, aged 10, was killed
outright. All his live stock were killed.
Edward Martins farm was the next
to be swept. Mr.. Martins home and
all his barns and small buildings were
totally destroyed while Mr.. Martin was
fatally injured by being crushed under
his home.
The little town of Richfield was al
list was small.
AT Louisville half the town was
wrecked.
Mrs Frank Hester was killed in her
home.
Two miles north of Papillion Martin
Tieth and his son James were driving
along the Little Papo river, when their
horses became frightened by the hail
and plunged into the swollen stream.
Both farmer and son were drowned.
An officer from Fort Crook arrived in
Il @ city Tuesday night and stated that
the damage to the army buildings
would amount to 100000 at the army
post alone and that the village was al
most a total wreck.
A remarkable scene occurred when
the officers realized that a tornado had
struck the post. Six hundred troops
of the Sixth regiment were brought to
battalion formation and in the midst
OF flying slate roofs and other debris
they were marched across the parade
ground to the substantial buildings,
wnere they were put at rest" and took
to the cellars.
The roofs of several of the large
buildings were torn of and other dam
age done.

President Talks to Women.

Washington.-The woman's depart
ment of the National Civic Federation
was organized here Monday, having for
tis object the betterment Of conditions
for workers in every branch Of in
dustry. The delegates were received
by the President at the White House.
In brief address Mr.. Roosevelt gave
his support to the movement and pre-
dicted success if carried along prop
erly.
Combating the frequently expressed
idea that the nation represents the av-
erage and not the best, the President
in his speech touched upon government
liability to employees, saying:
1T seems incredible that at this per
iod in the worlds history the United
States government, the government of
this democratic nation, should be lag
ging behind almost all other govern
ments in such a matter as this.
"a year and half ago, for instance
there was a perfectly competent man
attending a switch engine on the Pan
ANA railroad. An accident happened
through no foult of his own, which
crippled him for life; that man with
I may say past the verge of want,
and he is supported only by the
labor union to which he belongs;
because there is no law by which
I, as head of the government, can
give him that which he is justly
entitled to. 1t is scandal and re-
proach to US that there are bodies of
our people, men claiming as capitalists
to have a special right to speak to us,
who actively oppose the passage of a
child labor law for the District of Co
lumbia; who protest against the pas
sage of proper employers liability
laws. I want you to help me through
your representatives to get that type
OF legislation enacted which will make
the United States government model
employer, which will make the only
city under the absolute control Of the
United States government, Washing
ton, model city"

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility of choos
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
Secure your bids on the basis Of
National Lead Companys pure White
Lead and pure Linseed Oil and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by aduter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter
ested in paint.

Socks for the Baby,

Baby socks and those for children
who are not yet advanced to the
stocking wearing stage are to be
striped this season. Dainty white
socks with horizontal pin stripes Of
pink, blue, red and brown will look
trim and lovely on plump little sun
burned childish. legs. Both boys and
girls will wear socks of this descrip.
ton, with low shoes Of either white.
tan or black. There are attractive
plaid socks also for play wear or for
wear with darker f-ocks. The white
striped socks need frequent changing,
for even the neatest children require
at least two pairs day to keep them
looking fresh and dainty.

IN coLoRs TO MATCH FRock.
Dainty Cotton Underskirts for the
Woman Of Small Means.

There is an unusual abundance of
embroidered petticoats in linens and
cottons this spring. A well-made,
prettily embroidered cotton petticoat,
having its embroidery or chief color
matching the costume with which it is
worn, is in far better taste than a torn
silk skirt, and is much daintier, as it
can be tubbed after every wearing or
two, and be as fresh and attractive as
ever
Some of these come in stripes, some
in plaids. For example, charming
Scotch gingham is in blue and white,
and the lower ruff1e, set on an UNI
brella fiounce of the plaid, is en-
broidered in white
Another is in pale pink and white
striped madras, with the ruffle en-
broidered in pink
There are also plain chambrays, en-
broidered in white, and almost any
costume can be matched if one takes
the time.
The wisest way for the woman with
time and limited means is to buy ma
terials in fast colors and dainty de-
signs with embroideries, and get a
sheath skirt pattern, one having the
yoke instead of the band finish, at the
top. and have the skirts made in the
house. OF course, in this way one can
seldom get embroidery done on the
skirt material itself, but torchon laces
may be used, and much tucking done,
and for knockabout wear the elab-
orately tucked skirt and tucked ruffie
skirts are most satisfactory
Dimities figured in tiny rosebuds or
forget-me-nots, and having edgings
and insertions of German valenciennes
make delightfully."- dainty petticoats.
The little cord in the dimity gives
them body. Heavy white net may be
used not only for deep umbrella
flounce, set on the chambray or other
skirts, but may and should have mar
row rutf1es set on the umbrella, for
without them the latter has little body.
Each ruffie should be finished at its
lower edge with a narrow band of the
chambray or madras to give body to
the net

You Would Not Accept Counterfeit
Money, Why Accept Counterfeit
Goods2

Good money is made by the Govern
ment in which you have implicit faith
and confidence. Good goods are made
by manufacturers who are willing to
stake their regulations on the quality
of the material offered to you through
the medium of their advertisements in
this paper Counterfeit goods are not
advertised. The reason for it is they
will not bear the close scrutiny to
which genuine advertised goods are
subjected. Counterfeit money pays
more profit to the counterfeiter. Coun-
terfeit goods are offered to you for the
same reason.
Insist on the Genuine-Reject the
Counterfeit.
