with $50 Killed and 500 Injured I'm
Immediate NcighborhoOd, and With
property Loss Appalling. City Faces
future Determined To Master Its
Difficulties.

Omahaa, Neb., March 25.-For the
hrSt tlme since the disastrous tornado
or Easter Sunday the people of Omaha
today began to count the cost in lives
and dollars. When resume was
made 1t was apparently more appall-
ing than those who had studied the
result were wiling to admit.
Not less than 200 lives were snuffed
out within the vicinity of the city
proper and not less than 500 persons
In surrounding towns lost their lives
Nearly 500 were injured and eight
or these died in local hospitals dur
ing the day.
The destitution was augmented to-
day when nearly three inches Of
snow fell, making uninhabitable the
houses OF many who had prepared to
retain temporary homes in partly de-
stroyed structures. SO far as money
might relieve, the conditions were
perfect. Tenders of sums aggregating
q million dollars were in the hands of
the city commissioners when the day
ended. The offers came from nearly
every section OF the country and We're
made unconditionally.
The greatest work today was that
or organizing systematic relief bu-
reau with seven branch stations in the
territory covered by the tornado.
These stretched over q strip seven
miles long and those in charge hand
ed out material assistance to all COM
ers who showed they were in need Of
aid.
Bodies of dead or injured still lie
In the debris and wreckage and the
search oy federal soldiers and anx-
lous relatives of possible victims con-
tinued through the storm last night
ana this morning. Some residents of
the district declare it their belief that
at least 100 bodies are buried in the
ruins OF houses and brick buildings
or amusement places which are
known to have been filled with pleas
ure seekers Easter Sunday.
city officials, however, did not es-
innate the unrescued in so large a
number admitting nevertheless that
many persons yet are to be accounted
Tor. Throughout the night federal
soldiers guarded the afflicted section
or the city with utmost diligence
denying admittance even to city DO
lice and county officials.
Scores of business men, DELAYED in
that section of Omaha until after
dark. were denied the right to pass
through the wrecked portion of the
city TO their homes.
"A dead line has been established
at Lake avenue from Sixteenth to
Thirteenth street. City police are
stopped by soldiers when Lake street
Is reached and told that their pa

For lack of time this week we will
nave TO report some interesting let
tcrS from the Progressive Farmer. I
am glad that the Editor of the Watch
man and SouthrOn has become as
Careful Il reader Of this best of all ag-
rlcultural papers for our section, as
J. used to be, and is reprinting each
week some of the timely articles from
its pages.
L wonder how many Of the Farm
erS' Union members remember where
and when the next county union will
convene? May l ask also how many
have any definite plan TO make to the
meeting of some benefit to the mem
berShip. If every member when he
attends a local or county meeting
would try to see that he contributed
something TO the pleasure or profit of
the brethren there would be a large
increase in membership and influence.
To the ladies in Sumter county par
tlcularly l wish TO commend the letter
of Mrs. S. E. Taylor, giving her ideas
OF how you may make the Farmers
Union more useful both to yourselves
and your husbands, brothers and
sWeethearts. E. w. D.
