The conditions under which the con-

$4,000 to fit up the halls. but denied the
use of either the house of representatives

pose of the congress.

PATH OF STORM COVERS
RICHEST PART OF STATE
Cyclone Originates In Kansas and
Tears Across Southern Nebraska
In Two Distinct Paths, Leav-
ing Death and Ruin.

Omaha, Neb., June 6.-(Special. with a
death list of %, which may reach 80. and
at least so MANNED, some of them fatally
hurt, no tornado which has ever visited
Nebraska has wrought harshly as
the one which crashed across the south
ern part of the state Friday evening" No
less than Is counties were visited by
the twisting elements which whirled
across the country, showing mercy to
neither man nor beast and carrying de-
struction to every form of life in its
path.
The storm was most remarkable for the
Immense scope it covered and might we'll
be termed a cyclone instead of tor
nado. The original tornado formation
was near Courtland, Kas., just across the
Nebraska line and on reaching the bound
ary it evidently divided, forming two dis
tinct tornadoes of equal velocity which
spread their path of destructiveness across
q scope of territory several miles wide
in some places and continuing for dis
tance OF about 30 miles. The intensity
of the storm increased as 1t progressed
and the air became fearfully close on
the sides of the paths followed by it,
| The two funnel-shaped clouds, after the
main cloud split, fell in close succession
! for some distance, and then the first was
| licked up by the second. The path of
the storm covers some of the richest parts
of the state. Most of the farmers were
provided with rural telephones, but these
lines of communication were quickly put
out of commission and service with the
stricken towns and adjacent country was
only partially restored by tonight.
Davenport was one of the worst suffer-
ers financIa.-y. The loss will reach So. 900
there and at Shocl1ley 1t will exceed $4,000.
Fairfield was shattered to the extent of
$4,000 and Geneva was hard hit Other
towns in the path of the wind had losses
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
! Details of what the rural losses are
is not known and will not be for several
days, but when 1t is understood that
nearly every building in the path of the
| storm was totally wrecked and that hard
iy head of live stock is left over the
entire area swept by the storm, some
idea of the loss may be gathered.

Already the advance guard is recon-

gin to mobilize on the outskirts, and
Tuesday they take the city by storm.
Never to a nobler army will Birming-

Confederacy goes up the flag pole, there
will be tens of thousands to raise a
mighty noise in honor to the champions
of the south.

When that situation does arise. az seems
