GET TESTIMONIAL
S. Kann, Sons & Co. Praised
by Employees for Shorter
Working Hours.

When the members of the firm of s.
Kann, Sons & Co. entered their office
yesterday they were met by a mag
nificent wreath of American Beauties
reaching from the floor almost to the
ceiling Beside this decoration stood a
large framed letter. bearing the names
of the buyers and heads of the depart
ments in the store.
This greeting was occasioned by a
feeling OF gratitude of the employees
OF the store to the firm for the new
hours which have been put into effect.
Heretofore, the store has closed at 8
O'Clock on Saturday. but yesterday the
hour was changed to 6 O'Clock.
The letter says:
I'VE. the undersigned. buyers and
managers Of the various departments in
your store desire to express to You on
behalf of the employees our sincere
thanks and gratitude for the early clos
ing of the store on Saturdays. knowing
that We voice their appreciation of this
latest move in their behalf.

have been housed hundreds of the
homeless. In another cathedral Bishop
Scanlon, the Roman Catholic prelate of
Omaha. said high mass and talked to
his congregation of the meaning Of the
great disaster.
While these services went on, and
while the tourists gaped at the DESC
lation wrought by the winds. the gen
eral committee in charge of rebuilding
worked on its plans for aiding men and
women to get on their feet again.
Thousands Of dollars will be lent this
week to those whose homes have been
wiped out. So much money ts at hand
for this purpose that it is evident that
the greatest amount of small building
ever undertaken at one time In this city
will be shortly under way.
Although the streets are cleared. the
homeless housed In some fashion or
another and the dead buried, the marks
of the tornado In physical way are
still prominent here. The storm cut an
immense swath through the city from
west to east, and the furrow thus
wrought cannot be filled in a week. or
even a month. although parts of 1t will
be replaced with amazing promptitude.
Several of the clergy. speaking today,
said that the display of charity, OF de-
termination in the face of adversely
and of live energy which have charac-
terized the Omaha people since the dis
aster. constitute a distinct growth in
public and private morals. and that in
this way the terrible visitation Is al
most a blessing in disguise.

OMAHA. Neb., March Outstanding
in the street beside the ruins of their
churches, five congregations today held
services in the open air because build
ings no longer existed for indoor wor-
ship.
These open-air services by. persons
who are In many, cases themselves
homeless were only one feature of the
strangest SUNDAY this tornado-stricken
city has ever known.
Thousands of excursionists to whom
the recent horror and its effects are
chiefly an object Of idle curiosity came
to the city today from Nebraska and
western Iowa, and special trains were
run from st. Joseph and Kansas City.
Almost as many visitors were here TO-
day as for the Ak-Sar-Ben fetes.
For many residents Of the city the
day was one Of unremitting toll. Men
engaged In rebuilding their ruined
homes did not stop work, and the sound
Of carpenters hammers interrupted the
outdoor services, which were held on
the north side OF the city in churches
whose congregations live north of
Cunning and Lake streets.
For other congregations the tornado
was still also the chief topic. Hun
dreds Of folk newly dressed in black
were at these services, the first Sunday
