Greatest Damage in and Near Omaha.
done in and near Omaha, Neb.,
through part of which a terrific wind
swept Sunday evening, throwing down
many substantial buildings, ripping off
roofs and siding of hundreds of
houses and Staying men, women and
children by the score.
The storm kept it's work a secret
from the rest of the world for hours
by breaking down all wire communica-
ton. Messengers with news stories
had to go by train to Lincoln, the
state capital, to give out the first def
mite tidings of the disaster
Uninjured Citizens Rescue the Victims.
In the early hours of the night, I'M
injured citizens worked desperately to
remove such persons as had been
caught beneath RACED buildings. The
debris caught fire in many places and
many persons were painfully burned
before they could be extricated from
broken timbers.
No great number was killed at any
one place. The wind swept along, TAX
ing it's toll here and there. The tor
nado even jumped over portions Of
the city in it's path, swooped down
again and dashed distractions to
earth.
The gale left Omaha only to swoop
on to towns in Iowa in the same de-
structiye manner. The rage of the ele-
ments even extended in a somewhat
abated form to points far to the east.
No sooner had the great wind passed
than a second violent gale swept over
much of the same territory, but with
lessened fury.
The sleet and wind storm of the last
few days had reduced telegraph and
telephone companies to sore straits, as
hundreds of poles and thousands of
miles of wire were carried down in a
terrible tangle.
In many cases large regions were
unable to use commercial telegraph
facilities, and news associations were
compelled to send reports in the most
circuituous ways in order to reach the
newspapers.
Flood swept through several Wlscon-
sin cities, damaging many thousand
dollars worth of goods in Easements.
Dams were washed out in many places
and the released waters swept over
the fields.
All Elements Seem to Meet in Chicago.
In Chicago, all the elements seemed
to meet shortly after Easter Sunday
had closed. The wind blew a violent
gale, snow flew before it in some
places, hail crushed windows under
its propelling power in other parts
of the city, and rain and sleet were
dashed by it into the faces of belated
pedestrians and those who were
driven into the streets by the partial
| wrecking of their homes.

New York, May 22.-When Theo-

the same platform at Carnegie hall,
this city, May %, to speak for direct
primaries against Tammany hall and

old adage that politics makes strange
bedfellows' will have a forcible illus

party IN New York state, decided to
make a. fight on it, using direct prim-
aries the issue. The legislation in con-
troll of the state organization, of which
Charles E. Murphy is the leader, ad-
journed without passing the kind of
direct primary. measure the governor
wanted. AT once he announced a call
for a special session, and said. he
would take the stump to arouse public
opinion to force democratic and re-
publican members alike to accept a
bill in the extra session.
He invited cooperation from all
parties of men, especially asked

Sulzer spent eighteen years as a

seven years of the. time as a republic

Lankln Reporter: Some agitation
mas been started In different sections
OF the county to get the county COM
mlssloners TO spend the money in the
auto tax fund on an east and west and
north and south highway through the
county, instead Of apportioning it to
the various villages n townships,
and to this end an effort will be made
at the next meeting of the county
board to ave this done. l.
Ihere Is now some ST. 500 in the
county treasury belonging to the auto
tax fund, and there will be more avail
able during the next few months. BY
diVid1ng this up in small amounts and
giving each division of the county that
part to which it is entitled, would
mean that there would be no great
work done with it, it would -prae-,
tically be wasted. The plan now sug
gested Is to use the entire amount this
year Inc for several years to come in
establishing two perfect highways
across Walsh county, one east and
west and the other north and south.
BY doing this and having the work
done by practical road builders, Walsh
county would get the best results of
any from the auto tax money, and this
would give us desirable highways as
a working point from all parts of the
county,
1t has been suggested that the Meri-
dan road be used as the north and
south highway, and the money spent
in part to make his better and more
permanent, and that the old mill road
at Park River be used as the east and
west Observation-Disclosures it is also said
that there is some talk of bringing the
east n west line south further so as
to go through Vernon township and
thence west to the county line. Either
plan would be feasible and would or
should have the support of the people.
of the county. At the last meeting Of
the Lankin Industrial club a resolu-
ton was passed indorsing this plan of
tehe county boards and representa-
tiVes from the Lankin club will appear
before the board at their next meeting
and urge them to spend the money in
this name
Permanent highways mean a lot to
the people CT the county, and with two
good well built roads through the
county will not be long until all of
the roads leading to these county
highways would be put in good shape,
making it easy to travel anywhere
within the county boundaries. The
movement is a step in the right direc-
ton n the county commissioners
should by all means adopt this plan. I
