Little Change in Number Of
Cyclone Victims.

Omaha, March 27.-The relief com
mittee has opened six relief stations
along the cyclone path. At each sta.
tion an officer with full police power
will be in charge and under him will
be one surgeon and a nurse. These
people will not only take care of the
slightly injured who apply for help,
but will dispense food, clothing and
money.
Through every channel possible the
appeals for financial aid are being
made TO residents of Omaha and near
by towns. Billboards are being util-
lied to explain to the public where to
send their contributions and all daily
papers are receiving donations.

churches of the city is crowded with

farms, homes and railroads were de-
stroyed throughout the affected terri
tory. Bridges were wrecked at hun.
dreds of points between the Illinois
and Pennsylvania state lines and live
stock by hundreds, perhaps thousands,
lost in the deluge.
In addition, perhaps some million
persons are thrown out of employ
ment, while the loss to business can
not be figured.
Cities all through Indiana and Ohio,
including indianapolis, are isolated.
Roadways are flooded and railroads
are washed out, so that train service
has been abandoned on many of the
lines.
The first ray of comfort from Day
ton came with the reports of refugees
arriving at Xenia that the death list,
which had been estimated as high as
5000 drowned would range from 500
to 1900 A similar reduction in the
number of victims was reported by
telephone from Peru to South Bend,
Ind, the earlier figures, from 200 TO
$50 drowned, dwindling to $50, al
though a report from Warsaw, Ind,
still estimated that $50 persons had
lost their lives.
In contrast to the slight hope held
out of a possibly reduced death list
in the cities named, the possibility
that other places not yet mentioned
as having "een visited by disaster

The Austrian censor used to plny
strange tricks with the plays pro-

produced at Vienna, in 1902, the
title was deemed too ilippant and
was replaced by that Of Joan OF
Arc" Agnes Sorcl figured as the
wife Of Charles VII instead OF his
mistress, and Queen Ysabeau was
transformed into that monarch's sis-
ter in order to save him from bigamy.

Once there was a man who WINS
not thankful. When good things
came his way he raked them in and
never said a word. He never saw the
beauty in the fields or the woods,
and no sunset ever feased him. He
never heard bird sing, never said
howdy to stranger, and never
gave child piece of candy. His
morning and evening salutation was
grunt. He dragged along through
the years until the thing was over
but he didn't die. He just sort of
shriveled up and blew away. And
the happy onlookers who gathered
near saw green vapor hover for a
few minutes over his old clothes and
then pass with weird and mournful
sound into an abandoned well. And
they filled the old well with tin cans
and erected a monument over it in
the shape of a cucumber. And this
