knights & Ladies of
Security Celebrate

On last Saturday night Mar.
90, 1913, Missouri Valley Coun-
Gil No. 1896, Knights & Ladies'
of Security celebrated the 21st
anniversary of the birth of that
Order in a proper and fitting
manner, at their hall in the
Walker Block, in this city.
Not only did this order cele-
brate here but they observed
this anniversary in 20 states of
the union by adopting into the
order a total of $1,000 new
members, 1000 for each year Of
the life of the order, this great
number having been gathered
in since the LIST day of January,
1913.
This Council adopted a class
Of thirty new members. giving
them a full and beautiful inita-
tion, by a degree staff of six
teen ladies all dressed in white,
using colored lights in fact
these ladies did as 6ne a piece of
degree work as has been seen
in this city in many years, each
doing her part in such an ex-
cellant manner, that it would
be doing an injustice to mem
ton one as a star, as they were
jail stars.
After the class work the
Council turned loose for a good
time and splendid program
was rendered. Geo. Schlagen-
hauf started the ball a rolling
by singing a solo, this was fol-
lowed by a complete history Of
the order by Dist. Deputy
Orme. then came a duet by
Mrs. E e. Moore and Mrs. Geo.
Schlagenhauff, then a short but
catchy history of Council 396
by Mrs. Varnes.
But best of all came a fancy
drill by the degree staff of la
dies, this was certainly as nice
a piece of drill work as could
be put up by any drill team,
and they are entitled to great
credit for this part of the pro-
gram then followed a regular
birthday dinner. Nearly four
hundred members of the order
took part in this celebration.
No order in the country is
growing more rapidly than is
this one and under the guild
iance of Deputy Orme, Missouri
Valley Council 1896 has grown
in a wonderful manner until it
is now by far the largest and
most influential lodge in this
city, and great credit is due to
Bro. Orme for his work of or
ganizing, and to all of the Of
ficers Of this Council, the Ma
tional officers and to the loyal
ty of members of the Council.
Now about that dinner-I
said a regular birthday dinner,

dinner as only the rich enjoy.

and true birthday dinner-and
the ladies in charge of it are
entitled to great credit for it,
and the manner in which it was
served. Mrs j. N. Fitzgibbons,
Mrs. Harry Way and Mrs. John
Brinker, the committee in
charge of this celebration, are
entitled to great credit for the
able manner in which they

Both classes of thieves should
be shot down in their tracks as
they are a menace to society
and a blot on the face of the
earth. Anyone who would
steal from the tornado suffer-
ers when everything is confu-
sion and in a turmoil, is not fit

should he dealt out at once so
that there would be no oppor-

fective way of handling a stu

The Omaha Cyclone

The many stories that are
tod of the awfulness Of the de-
structive power of a tornado or
cyclone are sometimes unbe
lievable, but to a person who
was on the ground at the time
such a storm was passing could
believe almost anything. The
swirling mass with it's rotary
motion sucking everything up
In its path that was above
ground, giving out a roar that
could not be made by a hundred
trains of cars, continually
emitting from its depths forked
tongues of lightning, picking
up buildings and crushing them
in mid-air like they were egg
shells, tearing down large brick
buildings as we'll as novels ard
! ,veling them to the ground,
and in fact destroying every
thing that came in its path.
Such is the true story regarding
the storm in Omaha and vicini-
| ty last Sunday evening.
1t all happened in about five
to seven minutes time, COM
mencing at $50 P. M. it was all
over at 6 o'clock as the many
homeless people will testify. At
first all that could be seen was
what appeared in the horizon to
be a small rain cloud, and no at
tention was paid to it, hut in
five minutes everybody was
busy, trying to get into a cellar
or some receptacle that could
hold a person. The alarm was
given at 5:55 that a cyclone was
coming and for everyone to get
into the cellar right away, and
everyone "got". But cellars
were about as unsafe a place as
one could get, as the wind
seemed to hunt out the cellars
as we'll as the highways, and
caught people in as we'll as cut
Iof them. At about six thirty,
when it was realized that we
had a cyclone and that some
people were in distress, and
would need help as soon as it
could be gotten, we put on our
wraps and started for the scene
and got there in about five
minutes. And what we saw was
enough to make any mans
hair turn gray. Within a half
mile of our house we could see
some of the marks of the storm
and everywhere was desolation
and death. What had a few
minutes before been some CT
the city's finest dwellings were
now heap of ruins, with here
and there some of the contents
strewn about like some chllds
playthings.
Everywhere you could turn,
there was the same thing, beau
tiful houses torn apart and con-
tents scattered to where, no one
knows. Men, women and child
rem were found lying here and
there with their lives crushed
out of them from the falling
walls Of debris, and many were
badly injured and had to be ia
ken care of at the various Hos
pitfalls in the city. All Hospitals
were filled to flowing with
the dead and dying victims OF
the awful storm. To add to the
suffering and homeless there
were fifteen seperate and dis.
dinct fires going at one time,
and Council Bluffs was appeal
ed to to send over assistance
and fire apparatus, but as they
were having the same thing to
look after they could send but
one Fire Department which
arrived in a very short time
after they were notified. With
the cyclone and fires, both on
hand to look after, it made the
stoutest mans heart quail to
think of the many unfortunates
that were cruelty manned, lying

INDIANS BREAK EVEN
IN DOUBLE-HEADER
Lose Opening Game to Local Giants
and Capture Nightcap from Vigi-
lants in Thirteen Innings.

Buck Bratzell and his Nebraska In
dians ball club got an even break in a
double header at Vigilant Park yester-
day, losing the opening game of the
double header to the Washington Giants
by TO l score in seven innings, ana
coming back strong in the nightcap.
grabbing the long end OF a to-4 score
in great thirteen-inning battle.
By the timely clouting Of Gatwood and
cambridge. the local Giants were able
to drive two runs across the plate in
the fourth and fifth innings, and with
Thomas going in alright form the Red
men from Nebraska were unable to hang
up but one tally, this coming in the
sixth session on Vests error after two
were down.
The nightcap was easily the best
game seen in Viligant Park this season,
both clubs fighting at a nip and tuck
pace throughout the thirteen innings.
The local champions punched its hits
in the fourth session and managed to
squeeze three tallies in the run column.
but the visitors kept fighting and as
Lefty Wooden was weakening all the
time the NebTaskans were able to roll
up enough scores to tie up the count
and make the contest go into extra
frames.

safeties and broke the ice, sending in

Honesty in Baseball
Started Rath Out
Of Major League

: Honesty and sportsmanship seem to be
poorly paying qualities in baseball. Al
least Morris Rath. now Of Kansas City,
but formerly of the White Sox, is will
ing to swear that honesty is poor policy
in baseball. He told the truth and kicked
himself out of the American League.
Morris might have gotten away if ne
had merely told the truth to Callahan, IL
one of his fellow-players, or to Ban John
son. But he made the fatal mistake OF
telling il to an umpire. The occasion for
the unusual Teat OF veracIJy was a ugnI
game at Philadelphia.
Callahan was on third, Lord at bat
and two out. Rath was coaching at first
base. Lord hit slow bounder, made a
desperate dash for first, and was called
out on a close decision. Harry blew up.
He went the limit with the umpire, risk
ing being chased from the field by throw
ing down his cap. protes- ing that he was
safe half a jump. Up spoke Rath, very
gently.
Yes. you were out, Harry"
At this point Callahan arrived, breath
less. from his rush for the plate. What
the -" he started. He stopped, because
the jumps were laughing at him. What S
the matter" he asked.
why, Rath agrees that he was out" !"
said the umpire.

DR.. SAMUEL'S SCORE HIGH

The cricket match at Rock Greek Park
yesterday afternoon between the WASH
ington Cricket Club and the Baltimore
Sons OF st. George eleven was called on
account of darkness and declared a
draw" as the visitors had failed to
equal the score OF the locals. Score, l24
to Ill.
There was some question as to whether
the game should have been called, and
II was quite evident that DR.. Samuels.
captain OF the visitors, felt that the next
batters of his team would be easily dis
posed of by Washington. Just previous
TO this L. w. DeMotte had caught two of
the crack batsmen OF the Orioles, so DIR.
samuels appealed to the umpires and
after some argument the game was de-
cIared a draw"
Henry N. Branch and Charlie King
gave a splendid exhibition of batting,
while Dr. Samuel was top score, with
81 to his credit. Dronsfeld was expert
in his work behind the sticks, and got a
10 at bat. Duncan Morton also performed
well as wioketkeeper.s but did not bat
in his usual good form. DeMotte's two
catches behind the wicket were sensa-
tional and gained much applause from
the large crowd present.
