loss Of life occurred.
The storm lifted and dipped at In
teryals. continuing to move southwark
doing much damage to farm property
The first town struck was Papillion,
eight miles south Of South Omaha
At that point the damage was not
great, the funnel-shaped cloud appar-
entity lifting sufficiently to pass the
town without serious damage. 1t
again descended, however, as the
storm moved toward Richhel1, four
miles south Of Papillion. In its path
was the farm of Gus Leader, whose
farm buildings were entirely destroyed
and his son, Charles Leader. aged IA,
was killed outright. All his livestock
was killed.
Edward Martins farm was the next

An Officer from Fort Crook arrived
IN the 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 is al
most a total wreck. A remarkable
scene occurred when the officers real
ICED that 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, where they
were put at rest" and took to the
cellars.

AHUGHES VICTORY
SPECIAL ELECTION IN NEW YORK
RESULTS IN SELECTION
OF REPUBLICAN.
SUPPORT iNTI-GAMBlIAG
The Governors Bills Which Were Do
feated by Tie Vote In Regular
Session May Now
Pass.

Lockport, N. Y, May 1S.-Willian
.. Wallace (Rep.) was Tuesday elect
ed senator from the Forty-seventh ais
trict. receiving plurality Of 24S votes
over Henry A. Mcmahon, the Demo
cratic candidate. The total vote was:
Wallace, 1901; Mcmahon, 1858.
This is about two-thirds OF the nor
NAL vote in the district
The Forty-seventh senatorial dis
trict is made up of Niagara and Or
leans counties, and Tuesdays was q
special election to ill the vacancy
created by the death of Senator 8. r
Franchot, Republican.
An unusual feature Of the brief but
active campaign that preceded the
election was the obliteration OF party
lines, the real issue being the anti
gambling attitude assured BY Gov
Hughes. The newly-elected senator
will have a seat, in the present extra
session of the legislature, and he is
expected to act with the friends OF the
governor when another attempt Is
made to pass the racing bills which
would prohibit public betting at the
racetracks in the state. These bills
failed Of passage at the regular ses-
sion by tie vote. This vote was
taken some time after the death Of
Senator Franchot and II was antici'
pated that the stand taken by his sue,
cessor would determine the fate OF the
bills at the extra session. Early IN
the campaign the Republican candi.
date was committed to the support OF
the governor, while Mcmahon was
generally understood to hold views IN
opposition to those Of Mr.. Hughes IN
the matter Of racing. Accordingly the
outcome Tuesday is claimed as vic.
tory for the anti-gambling policy Of
the governor.

Adams Easter Windows

The Easter window display at Adam s
Pharmacy is attracting good deal OF
attention these days on account OF the
tasty display OF flowers contained there
in. 1t is probably the most elaborate
display ever attempted in Newport and
would be a credit to large Spokane
establishment.
The entire window front has been
enclosed with lattice work with the ex-
ception of panels which allow view OF
the interior of the store. The lattice
work is finished in ivory white. lmita-
ton grass forms ground for the display
OF bouquets Of paper chrysanthemums,
Easter lilies, apple blossoms and other
flowers. The trellis is decorated with
trailing vines in bloom and Easter rab-
bits are in evidence among the flowers.
The flowers are the handiwork of Mrs.
Collins, of Union avenue. and are beau
tifu! limitations of the genuine article.

the new town authorities soon regard
ing the obstruction OF Pine street by Il
couple OF unsightly piles OF sidewalk
lumber that have been obstructing that
street for several months.
Furness & Kellogg have removed their
restaurant building out to the street line
and will remodel and enlarge it. They
have leased it to party who will con-
duct a cigar and soft drinks establish
ment therein. The lessee will also cater
to the wants OF the excursionists who
will visit the old town this summer and
will handle sandwiches and lunches.
The Appel Bros pole hoist will be
removed to q point farther down the
river. The pole barges were formerly
nnloaded near the Stevens dock, but the
increased demand for dockage by river
boats compelled the owner to refuse
lease for the old ground.
Several parties have been looking over
the lots inside OF the proposed Idaho q

One or two of them may invest and erect
business buildings.

Chickens Find Rubies

Harry Saddler's chickens are proving
to be good ruby miners. One killed and
dressed short time ago had two fine
specimens OF that jewel in ita crop, one
the size OF a kernel of corn and the
other about the size OF 4 pea. The
chickens were raised on the Saddler
place in this city, so that there is no
doubt but that the rubies are home
production.
Rubies Of various sizes and degrees of
purity have been found in the Pend d.
Oreille valley for years. Several ruby
claims have been worked in q small way
on Sullivan creek, and several fine speci-
mems have been found in the vicinity of
Ruby creek.
The discovery that was made by Mrs.
Saddler proves that there is good ruby
ground right in the city limits of New
