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 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 Richfeld, 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 IL, 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
most blown to pieces, but the casualty
list was small
At Louisville half the town was
wrecked.
Mrs. Frank Hester was killed in her
home.
Two miles north of Papillion Martin
Ticth 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 total wreck.
A remarkable scene occurred when
the officers realized 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,
wnere they were put at rest and took
to the cellars.
The roofs of several of the large
buildings were torn off and other dam
age done.

COFFIN WAS A BACK NUMBER.
So Pennsylvania Man Sold It and VIII
Purchase Another.

Isaac Conman of Hatton, Pa, has
sold coffin he made many years ago.
He sold it not because he felt he would
have no use for it, but because his
wife insisted that it was out of date.
MIR. Coffman is nearing his eightieth
birthday. He explained to friend
that he constructed the coffin 20 years
ago. 1t was built of chestnut because,
as he put 1T, "Many's the time l have
sat beside a CHEEKY blaze Of chestnut
logs and heard them crackle and burn
merrily. 1t makes such a homelike
blaze that l picked it in prefernce to
other woods. 1t was my desire to
have the coffin as cozy as possible,
and rejected the frivolities which SO
many persons affect In the matter Of
collins. In order to have 1t handy 1
kept it in the garret. But my wife
tells me that styles have changed, and
since l have accumulated little for
tune she will not permit me to die un-
less l consent to get an up-to-date
casket. To avoid trouble agreed to
sell the old one. But at the SAME
time think that the coffin which was
good enough for me in my poorer
days should satisfy me now, and 1
shall always feel out Of place In the
new-fangled affair.""

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. a 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
his children are on the verge of want,
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
l. as head of the government, can
give him that which he is Justly
entitled to. 1t is a 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. l 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

most of the women.
If it had been Langford, now, who
was guilty of SO ridiculous senti-

self whimsically. Then he pulled him

plausible it was made to sound. He

CHAPTER xv.-continued.

The hearing of testimony for the
state went on all through that day. 1t
was late when the state rested it's
not be taken up until the following
day. 1t was all in-for veal or for
woe In some way all of the states
witnesses-with the possible excep-
ton of Munson, who would argue with
the angel Gabriel at the last day and
offer to give him lessons in trumpet
blowing-had been imbued with the
earnest, honest straightforward policy
of the states counsel. Gordon's friends
were hopeful. Langford was jubilant,
and he believed in the tolerable in
tegrity of Gordon's hardwon jury.
Gordon's presentation of the case thus
far had made him friends; tickle
friends, maybe, who would turn when
the wind turned-to-morrow- true
it was that when court adjourned late
in the afternoon, many who had jeered
at him as visionary or an unwel-
come meddler acknowledged to them
selves that they might have erred in
their judgment.
AS on the previous night, Gordon
was tired. He walked aimlessly to a
window within the bar and leaned
against it, looking at the still, oppres-
sive, cloudy dampness outside, with
the early December darkness coming
on apace. Lights were already twink
ling in kitchens where house wives
were busy with the evening meal.
