NO SALE FOR PERSIAN RUGS
American Demand Falls OF ant
Transportation Difficult.

That the rug industry of Persia has
suffered materially as a result of the
closing of the bazaars at Tabriz and
other Persian cities is the claim made by
w. F. Doty, American consul at Ia
briz
The difficulties of transportation on the
highways Of Persia and the lessened
American demand for luxuries have con-
tributed in no small measure to the de-
pressed condition of the Persian rug
trade.
prices have fallen here at times re-
Gently by one-third.'' says Consul Doty,
land rug exports have fallen off one
half lately. A year or two will bring
about higher prices. Labor here now
commands only between five and ten cents
a day.

Brookland Citizens Meet.
Various matters of interest to Brook
land were discussed at the citizens asso-
citation meeting last night A motion Of
fered by Mr.. Eastlack urging that the
Commissioners be asked to grade Monroe
street east Of 18th street was carried
The association discussed the small
freight station Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, which is situated near the street
car terminal in Brookland. Frederick
Barnes suggested that the railroad COM
pany be asked to repaint the station,
stating that in his opinion the building is
now uns Chilly. After some discussion re-
gard.ng the site of the station the entire
matter was referred to the committee on
railroads and street cars.
1t was said by Mr.. Harrison that the
company should be requested to move
the freight station to point north of The
passenger station. At present, as there
is no switch or siding at Brookland a
freight train stopping at the warehouse or
station completely blocks traffic on the
Bunker Hill road.
Owners of property between Franklin
street and Rhode Island avenue on 18th
street have started q petition to obtain
pavement on the west s.de of 18th
street, and the Brookland Citizens AssO-
citation decided to add the names Of men,
bers.
On motion of Frank Harrison the COM
mittee on fire protection was instructed to
prepare lists of the fire boxes, showing
exact locations. 1t was Mr. Harrison's
idea that these lists should be conspicu-
ously posted in stores and frequented
places so that citizens shall become ia
miliar with the location of the boxes
Many Of the members said that there
were too few boxes in Brookland and
that more should be requested of the au-
thorties.
A letter was read from the .,rightwood
Citizens Association, requesting the
Brookland association to appoint a COM
mittee to meet similar comm tees from
other bodies in joint discussion of a
change in the form Of government of the
District The matter was placed in the
hands of the legislative committee.

sons are known to have been killed and
score injured by a tornado which
swept over the northern pair of Sarpy
county at O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
The storm, which gained in violence
on its way south, started in Omaha
about 1870 AT Bellevue the college
buildings were damaged to the extent
of probably $50 900 and several persons
were injured. none fatally. The storm
then moved on to Louisville. Richfield
and Springfield, where the damage and
loss of life occurred chiefly.
The storm was the most severe that
ever struck eastern Nebraska. The
damage to the college buildings at
Bellevue was heavy. The tower was
blown from Park hall and the building
wrecked. Lowery hall and Rankin
hall were unroofed.
The panic stricken students ran to
the Easements and in this way many
fatalities were probably averted.
The college stables were wrecked and
all the horses killed. A number of
small builingsl and stores in the village
were blown down.
Moving southwark, the tornado
struck Fort Crook, damaging several
of the barracks, but nobody was injur-
ed. In the town of Fort Crook, how

Bellevue is the seat of the Presby terrain
college. Near the village of Richfield,
Elmer Leader was killed and his father
was badly injured. Ed Faller, farm
er near Richfield, was fatally injured.
1t is difficult to get any news from
Louisville. Reports are to the effect
that the town is blown away and the
people are in panic. The Burling-
ton station was torn to pieces, most of
the business houses wrecked and 80 res
licences destroyed. The Missouri Paci-
fic station is standing. but both tele-
graph and telephone wires are down.
/ There were four distinct tornado clouds
seen at Springfield, and they made
their appearance shortly after 3 O'Clock
Heavy damage was done in the coun-
tryside and there was some loss of life.
