Council Bluffs. March 31.-Every
regular train arriving in Council Bluffs
yesterday had extra coaches attached
to it and all were crowded with people
who came here to view the destruction
wrought by last Sundays tornadoes in
this city and in Omaha. In addition,
several Of the railroads ran extra trains

seers who numbered thousands.
Nine companies Of state militia and
several companies of regular army men
were on the alert all day keeping the
crowds in check and then they fairly
overran the soldiers and several arrests
were made for disobedience Of the
orders respecting the trespas6ing OF
private property, but all were released
before the time of the departure of the
trains on which the offenders had ar
rived in the city. 1t seemed as tho
nearly one in every twenty people car
ried camera and some, in their zeal
to secure souvenirs Of the storm which
brought such great tragedy to the
people, overstepped the bounds Of
decency.

of the McCabe Methodist church. whose
death was especially trasical in view
of earlier Easter day events. THE
tory of life is won, sang Cassius
Simmer on that fately morn. Many in

that he had put expression and senti-

Tragic Death Of Singer.
Sinner was killed five hours after
in his home and the church was
wrecked. Friends are now remarking
how appropriate was his last song, the
verses of which read:
The strife is DER, the battle done,
The victory Of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun-alle-

The powers Of death have done their
worst,
But Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Let songs of holy JOY outburst-alle-

on the tongues Of the people now and
will be for many days to come.

L. Cash Drawer Of $500.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. March 31.-While say
ing nothing about it it Is learned upon
good authority that the Minneapolis
& st. Louis depot in this city was
robbed few evenings ago Of about
300 in cash.. The matters was placed
in the hands Of the police officers, but
they have kept it entirely to them
selves. hoping that they might be able
to discover the thief in manner we'll
planned but which was evaded. The
story is that the night clerk started
home earlier than usual leaving note
stating to the day clerk that the safe
had been left open. When the day
clerk arrived he found that the money
had been taken. Some time ago the
Adams Express Company lost some-
thing like 5000 in. the same depot and
in much the same manner, but the
robber was never located.
