STORM SWEEPS
SHELBY GREEK.

The tornado which wrought such
havoc through many southern states
last Friday morning. struck Shelby
creek at Sis with very little abate-
ment of its fury. At the little rail-
way stop Of Virgie, about s miles
below Shelby Gap, it struck an un-
finished storehouse belonging to Ala
mander Burke. carried it off its
foundation and turned It completely
over. Jno. w. Greer, an aged car
penter who was inside, was Instant
y killed, and Felis Burke, son Of
the owner of the building, in try
Ing to escape through an open win
dow, was caught In the crash as the
building went over and badly in
1ured His bruises may also prove
fatal.
Before the storm reached this
p0int great damage was done to
every kind of property, including
houses and barns, and many peo-
pie were also hurt. 1t pursued an
even course with the. creek down to
about s miles OF the mouth. and
from thence 1t bore northeastern
course into West va. ~ Phe neighbor-
hood Of Beefhide. in which the
Burke store was overturned, suffer-
cd the heaviest damage wrought by

STREET PAVING.

Street paving began in earnest
Monday morning at the west end of
Scott-av. The reason that the first
paving work was started In this iso-
lated part Of the city, was that the
dryes' parts should be paved first.
and that the business section should
be reserved until the warm weather
could place II in proper condition.

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago. March 26.-Weather cOndi-
tons and the failure of country buyers
to put in an appearance in expected
numbers, together with the declining
beef steer trade, were factors OF de-
preston in the trade on stock and
feeding cattle. Such improvement as
was noted in the trade on stockers and
light feeders yesterday was dissipated
this morning, and the f1eshier heavy
feeders were seriously neglected, the
former selling on obout last weeks
class basis and the latter largely at
10 cents decline. showing sympa-
thetic break with the market for killing
classes.
Eight dollars is practically the limit
of the market on feshy feeders and
Some 113S to 116S-pound steers o.
high quality and good flesh went to the
country yesterday at that price. which
at best time last week.would doubtless
have sold fully Is cents higher. Stock
ers and light feeders Of thinner class
and good quality are holding up close
to the best prices Of the sea son.
Country shippers will probably pront
by noting the probable effect Illinois
tax assessment time, April l. Will nave
on the trade. iConditions which may
tend to enlaIgetth marketing of cattle,
both on local and country account. Lo-
cal ward dealers will be slow to ABSORB
any large supply OF stock and feeding
cattle here between now and April l.
in view of tax assessments coming que
then, and a liberal run of stock cattle
here next Monday would be mistake,
in the opinion OF many traders.

TORNADO KEPT CLOSE TO EARTH
Twister, Unlike Other Storms, Does
Not Jump About.


Omaha, March 2e.-George E. Bleort,
of Holyoke, Mass. who had been thru
two tornados and the San Francisco
earthquake, declared the Omaha storm
the worst Of them all.
In none Of the others did I receive
a scratch. Yet of the four calamities
have mentioned I have made careful
observations. and 1 have never seen
anything that compared with the drain
on life and property wrought by the
tornado that passed thru Omaha Sun
day. Take the three and bunch them
together and then the comparison
could not be made too strong.
Had the fire not followed the earth
quake in San Francisco the loss of life
and property would not have been
great; the tornados in ST. Paul and ST
Louis were just summer zephyrs when
lined up beside the Omaha storm.
Il am conversant with the history of
wind storms, and 1 can say that the
Omaha storm was one of the worst, if
not the worst, in history. People hero
do not realize the magnitude of the
storm. AS general thing wind storms
jump about, destroying property in
spots and taking lives at rare intervals.
The Omaha twister seems to have kept
to the ground after it struck, leaving
nothing but death, ruin and destruc-
ton in it's path

GOVERNOR OFFERS AID.
Sends Representative to Confer With
Council Bluffs Officials.


Council Bluffs, March 26.-Active eff
forts on the part of the state of Iowa
to give aid to sufferers from the disas-
ter of Sunday evening resulted in the
sending to Council Bluffs Of Thomas
Waters private secretary to Governor
George W. Clarke, for a personal in
spection Of the storm ravaged district,
and report as to condition and a
statement of just where aid is most
needed and what form 1t should take.
Mr.. Waters was in conference with
Mayor Maloney and with other mem
bers Of the local relief committees dur
ing the day and declared that condi
tons were worse here than he expected
to find, from the meager information
that had filtered to the outside with
the crippled means of communication.
The offer has been made from Gov
ernor Clarke. both to the local authori-
ties and to Governor Morehead, Of Ne
braska, to have the hospital corps Of
the Iowa national guard furnish care
for the injured and furnish shelter for
the homeless. 1t is believed that &C
commodations can be furnished for at
least 200 persons.
Offers were received, too from COM
mercial clubs in a number Of cities Of
any assistance that might be needed
for the relief of the victims of the
disaster.
Senator Kimball wired the Nom
pareil, asking if the assistance Of the
state were required and expressing
sympathy at the alarming conditions
indicated by the reports in the capital
city.
At the present time, however. it is
believed that Council Bluffs will be
able to care for her own suffering. Aid
is being offered generously and it is
not believed now that outside help will
be required.
