N. J. (Barber) Smith Dead.

The death of Barber" Smith
on the Dist inst, removes prom
iuent character from the walks
of life, and a man widely and IA
vorably known in his profession
and for his activities in found
ing local benevolent associations,
etc, for the betterment of his race.
Martin Smith located in Jeffer-
son when quite young man and
established a barbershop which
he continued through many years
of prosperity and like many
others IN that prosperous era,
failed to accumulate for a later
day-and thus his latter life was
more on lines obscure. However
he left wife comfortably fixed
with home, and the comforts
essential to cope with the usual
adversities of life and to meet
the exigiencies usually encumbent
upon widowhood. He loved his
business and was widely known
and patronized-and scores of
his patrons refused any other
service-and staid with him
through all of his career of pros
perity and prominence and de-
clined to desert him when sick
ness and weakness brought him
to a lower standard. Barber
Smith will long be bered
for his proficiency and expert
manner of welding the razor and
shears and for his entertain
ing proclivities and clever way
of greeting his friends and Gus
toners. He stood near the head
of his race for intelligence and
rare faculties for promoting
virtue and morality-and in his
removal stalwart pillar has
fallen, though modest in all his
walks with his fellows and asso-
Citations of life.
Many white and colored would
meet on one common council to
lay wreath on his bier and tes-
tify to his long. loyal citizenship.

SuoWStorm In Panhandle.

Dallas, Texas. March 26.-An
unusually heavy snowstorm coy,
cred Northwest Texas today,
moving rapidly eastward. The
storm swung south into sections
where spring fields and gardens
already are green. No serious
damage, however, was anticipat-

touched the freezing point.

Railroads Suffer

Railroads. We're chief sufferers
from property damage. 1t was
said tonight by engineers and
construction bosses preparing
repair trains for the flood dis
tricts, that strips of railroad
more than half a mile each had
teen washed away in several
places through Indiana. Con-
crete and iron bridges, their
supports undermined, crumbled
because of strength of the tor
rent hurled against them. The
loss through cession of traffic
can not be estimated.

GREAT STORM AND
FLOOD DISASTER


Omaha, Neb., March 24.-More
than two hundred persons were
killed and four hundred were in
jured in wind storm that de
molished $50 homes, damaged
hundreds of other buildings and
caused a monetary loss of -, 900
600, according to reports avail
able up to this hour from the
main path of the tornado in and
around Omaha.
Most of TIE casualties were in
Omaha. Nearby towns in Ne.
braska and across the Missouri
river in Iowa also suffered Sc
verely. Wires were snapped of
in all directions and it took many
hours to gather and circulate
news of the disaster. Fire broke
out in the debris of many wreck
ed buildings in the Nebraska
metropolis and these were me-
naces for time. The fire COM
panies were hindered by fallen
walls and blOckaded streets. A
heavy rain followed the wind,
however, and drenched the hun
dreds of homeless persons, but
also put out the flames.
The Death Record
OF the POP known dead within
the area covered by the storm
1872 were residents of Omaha.
The remaining dead are scattered
over a considerable range of ter
ritory, with Council Bluffs, Iowa,
reporting IL; Yutan, Neb., 16;
Berlin, Neb., z; Glenwood, Iowa,
5; Nicola, Iowa, 2; and Bartlett,
Iowa, 3. The same cities and
towns report an aggregate OF 4OO
injured and $50 homes demol-
ished.
Perhaps fifteen hundred per-
sons are homeless. Aside from
this, 5000 buildings were more
or less damaged, some Of these
being churches and school build
ings. Eight of Omaha's public
schools were wrecked.

Wire Service Crippled

All forms of communication
were almost annihilated by the
wind and only two or three wires
were in working condition when
daylight relieved a period of high
tension, at times almost becom-
ing panic. The State and Ma

order out of which for twenty
four hours had been chaos.
Chicago, March 26.-Three
thousand may have persisted in
the deluge which swept the
northern half of the Ohio river
valley yesterday and today.
Probably half a million people
were made homeless by the flood
in Indiana and Ohio and property
damage in both states will be at
least $1OO,0OO,O0O. These figures
were compiled this afternoon
from reports received from vari-
Gus points in the stricken dis
trict. Further reports may in
crease the number of dead and
it is unlikely that any decrease
in financial loss will be made.
An additional horror was repOr-
ted early this evening from Day.
