PoRTIA CLUB NEWS.

The keynote of civic pride was
struck Monday afternoon, at the
club, when Clean Up Day was ina1g-
urated.
The plan of war was left to the
civic committee and Mrs. Tim Dris-
coll was appointed chairman. This
committee will confer with another
from the council and the exact day
will be decided by these committees,
which will probably be early next
month. The aim is not to leave ey-
en- the proverbial tin can, in any
street. alley, back or front yarj.
business or private, or anything that
will mar the natural beauty of our
wide streets-the very width of which
at once captures the strangers eye.
Hardly a city block but lives a
club member. and she will set the
pace-on her own premises.
Another venture of the club, last
summer. one hot Saturday evening,
better remembered as the Push Cart
Fair, which netted the club fund
to improve the Central High School
grounds for park. Benches and
lights were installed last summer,
and now two fountains are to be put
in, one at the north entrance to
the school grounds and the other
at the south. All this paid for out
of the Push Cart fund.
Mrs. Chase reported that the Pay
ette Grocers would all make a spe-
cial display of Idaho products as
planned by the federated clubs, from
the 14th to 18th of April inclusive
Each firm was glad to make the
display and the club hopes to get
Idaho goods introduced into every
home. If you want to know what
Idaho can do, visit each store and
ouy something. If it suits continue
to buy and help your own prosperity
by helping your neighbor.

Storm In Nebraska and Iowa Leaves
Path Of Oevsstation-Many Towns
Damaaed-More Than Four Humid
red Persons lnjured-Death List
Given at 225 = Property Loss at
5000, ,oo0.>

According to press dispatches
more than 200 persons were killed
and 400 were injured in the tornado
that damaged $50 homes, hundreds OF
other buildings and caused a loss of
properly of s5,0O0,000 in the city of
Omaha and nearby towns in Nebras-
ka and iowa early Sunday evening.
Most o. the casualties were in
Omaha which was stricken as never
before. Nearby towns in Nebraska
and across the Missouri River in
Iowa also suffered severely. AS is
the usual case with such events
fire broke out and for a time the
entire city of Omaha was menaced
because the fire fighters were him
dered in their work by falling walls
and streets blocked with wreckage.
The destruction of both telephone
and telegraph wires in all directions
made it difficult for the outside
world to get information for a few
hours and assistance badly needed
was delayed.
The storm struck without warning, /
coming just at the close of day of
overcast skies which had partially /
cleared in the afternoon. Among
the buildings destroyed were eleven /
churches and eight school houses. /
To the day and hour of the catas-
trophe is due the fact that the
children in which event the death
list would have been much larger.

Saws Ureamic Poisoning.

Before receiving any of the advan-
tages Of a $4,000 damage suit recently
won in the district court. Gertrude
Nicholas, aged q, died last night at
the home of Mrs. M M. Swink, 222 East
Sixth street. Limping to her seat In
the witness box, Miss Nicholas testified
against the Topeka Street Railway
a jury in the first division Of the Shaw
nee county court.
The battle was hard fought. Two
juries heard the case. According to
the young woman's story, she fell over
the car tracks at the intersection o1
Green and Sardou streets, Oakland, one
snowy evening in November. 1911.
Through her attorneys. Waters & Wa
ters, she asked $4,000 Of the street car
company. The case was heard a year
ago in the district court, and resulted
in a verdict of $4,000 for the plaintiff
The decision was reversed upon a
technicality.
A retrfal took place this term be-
fore Judge A. W. Dana: it consumed a
week and attracted widespread inter-
est. A second verdict of $4,000 was
awarded by the jury.
Until a week ago Miss Nicholas was
rooming at 401 East Eighth street. She
engaged rooms during the rehearfnR of
her case in the district court. When
she left week ago she seemed in per-
feet health. except for her lameness.
According to DR.. o. M. Moore, who
attended her, her death was due 10
ureamic poisoning. According to ner
friends, the trial caused a nervous
breakdown.
The body has been shipped to Clyde.
Miss Nicholas's mother is not living.
Her father, John Nicholas, and her
brother live in Clyde.
The damages awarded in the district
court, according to John Waters. legal
ly go to the next of kin.
