OMAHA CYCLONES
 STRANGE FREAKS
Flowed Path Through Missouri River-WaS Lead by Ball of FiPe-Peculiar Pathetic
 and Distressing.

Omaha, Neb., March 26.-Follow- ing are few of the strange freaks and incidents of the death-dealing Omaha cyclone:
 Flowed Path Through River.
 In crossing the Missouri river the wind almost scooped a dry path across the bed. The water was pulled high into the air and caused a regular waterspout in parts of Council Bluffs, where the moisture was again deposited.
 Ball of Fire Led Storm.
 By eye-witnesses, the cloud which caused the destruction is described as being preceded by a huge bright ball of electricity, flashing and twisting, rising and falling. This ball did not touch the earth, but where it came in contact with houses flames burst out.
 Fate of Two Babies.
 At the Child's Saving Institute -one little baby was simply pulled out of the window by the force of the wind and dashed to death a quarter of a mile away. Another baby, eight months old, was torn from the arms of it's father, c. W. Walsh. After the storm it was found snugly deposited in the lee of a broken roof, absolutely unin- iured and even protected from the rain by the roof of a house which formerly had been several blocks away.
 Sang His Last Song.
 The strife is o'er, the battle done; the victory of life is won,' sang Cassius Simmer, tenor of ii6 South Forty-second street at the Easter service in McCabe Metho- dist church Sunday morning.
 Mr. Simmer was killed when the tornado destroyed his home. The church in which he sung was badly wrecked. Many of the congregation afterward remarked that it was the best that MT. Sinner had ever sung; that he had put sentiment and earneStness into the song. The powers of death have done their worst, but Christ their legions has outburst," ran the second verse.
 Wind Tore Human ScalpS.
 A coincidence among the injured at the child institute was that all were badly cut about the face, while the bodies were comparative ly free from wounds. Ugly-lookine scalp wounds marked every injury.
 Played With Automobile.
 One of the freaks of the tornado was found in connection with an automobile on North Thirty-eighth street, near Webster street. The garage was torn from its foundation and buried bottom side up loo yards away. The ear stood unharmed on the ceiling of the structure, which was shorn of walls and floor in transit.
 FondIcd a MOtorman.
 A number of persons were Seri- ously injured when a street car was blown over at Forty-seventh and Leavenworth streets. The con- ductor, John Cooper, was seriously injured The motorman. Fred Bentley, jumped just as the car started to roll over. The wind picked him LID. carried him POO feet

Married in Fort Myers

St. Luke's Episcopal Church
Fort Myers, was the scene of
very impressive wedding on Mon
day afternoon, April 2Sth, when
John Leon Blanchet, son of Rev.
John b. Blanchet, was united in
marriage to Miss Mary Elizabeth
Hall Blanchet,j daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Clement L. Blanchet,
the ceremony being performed by
the two ministers, brothers, and
fathers of the bride and groom.
The service was one of rare beauty
and doubly impressive.
At the appointed hour Miss Ella
M. Polk, an accomplished musician
of this city, and friend of the
bride, played Lohengrin's wedding
march, after rendering several
beautiful selections as the guests
were being seated. The ushers,
| N. G.. Stout and g. 2. Frank of
Fort Myers, led the bridal party,
and were followed by the maid of
honor, Miss Anne VanNess Blan-
Chef, sister of the bride and her
only attendant. The bride made
Il charming picture as she entered
on the arm of her father who wore
his ecclesiastical vestments. The
groom awaited them at the altar,
and was unattended, as Mr.. Daniel
Webster of Bermont, the best
man, was unable to be present,
owing to illness.
The first part of the service was
conducted by Rev. John B. Blan-
Chef, and after the brides father
had given her away, he too entered
the chancel, and completed the
ceremony, the groom's father pro-
nouncing the benediction. Dur
ing this interval in the service
Miss Polk sang 20 Perfect Love''
most impressively, and completed
the ceremony with Mendelssohn's
wedding march.
The brides dress was beauti-
full creation of white crepe de
chine over white satin en- train,
with satin trimmings, and she wore
long veil of white tulle and car
ried brides roses. The church
and house were beautifully decor
ated for the occasion, the profu-
sion of flowers attesting the labor
OF love for the young couple, and
a good number was present. I'M
mediately after the service re-
ception was held at the home of
the BRIDES parents, which was al
so largely attended. After con-
gratulatious were showered upon
the happy couple, several instru-
mental and vocal selections were
rendered by Miss Polk, and Mrs.
Stanley Hanson and Miss Anne
Blanchet, which were greatly en-
joyed. Mrs. Stanley Hanson pre-
sided at the refreshment table,
and was assisted by several young
ladies of the Sunday school.
Many beautiful and useful pres
ents were received. and the bride
and groom left amidst shower of
rice and good wishes for trip to
Tampa and other points in the
state, before settling in their new
home at Samville, where neat |
bungalow awaits them. GUEST. !

NO MOVE ALONG IN
SAME OLD WAY
Legislative Matters Measures
Being Considered
Enacted

In legislative way, matters
move along in the same old way at
Tallahassee. New bills are intro
ducetl every day, and both branch
es Of the law making body appar-
antly keep busy. The present
legislature, judging from the rec
ord thus far made, will hardly be
able to dispose of all the matters
that are coming up, but in this it
will be no exception, for there
has been but few instances ia the
history of Florida's legislatures
that the calendars have been clear
when the time came for adjourn
ment.
At this session no one measure
seems to have been given more at
tention than the famous mental an
guish bill. 1t has called forth
considerable debate, and on being
considered second time by the
senate, was amended and passed
and has gone back to the house to
have the amendments concurred
IN.
The Bay county bill was the first
measure passed at this session to
be signed by the governor; the
Seminole county bill has also been
signed by the governor; the Sante
Fe county bill is not considered
likely to pass. The bills creating
Trabue county and Broward coun-
ty from portions of DeSoto are to

come up for final action by the
lower branch of the legislature
this week. The Trabue county
measure has every merit and
should pass.
After being pelted verbally by
suffragettes, the members of both
houses in joint session gave consld-
Grafton to the resolution to sub
NIT a constitutional amendment
giving women the right to vote.
A vote was taken, resulting in a
tie and it was decided to report the
motion without recommendation.
The famous Wales claim came
up again in the form of bill the
purpose of which was to enable
Colonel Wales to enter suit
against the State. By a vote of
81 to 7 the bill was killed in the
, house.
A bill has been introduced in the
house making specific requirements
of those seeking to procure mar
riage licenses, placing certain re-
strictions upon the issuance of
such papers and otherwise chang
ing the present laws on the sub
ject.
Fixing the salaries of the ad-
ministrative officers of the state
and providing for the disposition
of all fees of the Offices is the pur-
pose of senate measure which
has passed the lower branch. This
makes the salaries of the members
Of the governors cabinet $4,000 a
year with no fees attached.
A house bill prescribing the
time for holding court in several
circuits, one of which is the tenth,
has passed both branches; also a
measure requiring all railroad To-
comotives drawing passenger and
freight trains to be equipped with
headlights of certain specifications
and providing penalty for VIOLA
tions.
The committee appointed TO look
into the immature citrus fruit law,
after due deliberation, decided to
leave it for the state horticultural
lists IN session at DeLand to recon-
mend an acid test that might be

week is one to provide for the for
