Nebraska Hit
by Fierce Tornado

Omaha, Neb., May 13.-Twelve per-
sons are known to have been killed and
score injured by 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 4:3O. 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 builings 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
ever,a number of buildings were wreck
ed and other damage was done
The heaviest losses of life and injur-
ed are reported from Louisville, a juno
ton point Of the Missouri Pacific and
Burlington railroads, in, Cass county.
The number OF deaths is unknown and
no names have been sent. Between 40
and 60 are injured, many seriously and
some fatally
The town of Bellevue is declared
practically wiped out, but it is not
known that there are many fatalities.
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, a farm
er near Richfeld, 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 O'Clock.
Heavy damage was done in the coun.
tryside and there was some loss of life.
Dispatches received at Lincoln say
there were severe storms along the
Missouri river further south at Nema-
ha City and Falls City.

Congress for Fifteen Days More.

The supply bills of congress, in
which appropriations are to be made
for the support of the government for
the next fiscal year beginning on July
1, are in such condition in both houses
that if no complications arise in con-
nection with other legislation it will be
possible to reach final adjournment
by the 25th instant. There are IA of
these general measures, carrying an
aggregate of almost a billion dollars,
and of these the house of representa-
tives, in which all of them originated,
has passed IL; all except that of the
military academy and the general de-
ficiency bill. Both of these carry
comparatively small sums, and both
are of such character that they seldom
arouse opposition, and both could have
been disposed of in brief order if
necessary.
