 The action of the supreme court this morning settles the question of whether the president of the senate, when he becomes acting governor be- fore the conclusion of the legislative session, should continue to exercise the duties and prerogatives of gover- nor after the legislature adjourns or should step down in favor of the man elected president pro tenn of the senate.
 The final act of Acting Governor Oldham before he surrendered the chair to Governor Futrell was to grant pardon to Clay Gibson, who was convicted of second degree mur- der in the Green county circuit court and sentenced to 16 years in the peni- tentiary. He had served larger part of his time. The granting of this par don occurred just four minutes before the supreme court handed down it's opinion which removed him from of- flee.

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-03-25

was almost completely destroyed and thence to the north section, where the death toll was greater. After twisting across the northeast line of the city the tornado freakishly doubi- ed back across the Missouri river, wrecking the Illinois Central bridge and tearing through Council Bluffs, Iowa, where at least six persons were killed and great property loss caus- ed. The wonder in the mind of every person who has seen blocks and blocks in ruins, the shapeless heaps of wreckage that were houses, and has learned the authenticated in stances by which the homes were blown from their foundations and dashed four stories high against stur- dier structores and of the tumbling about of locomotives of the Missouri Pacafic roundhouse, little shuttle cocks of the wind, is that the death llSC IS not IdIScI.
 One explanation brought forward is that the tornado; came at an hour when a greataper centage of the peo- nle were on the streets and that many more than the usual number had re- sponded to the lure of the Easter par ade. despite the impending storm. Be- fore the storm there has not been even a puff of wind. At 5 o'clock the clouds piling up from the south took on an awesome greenish tinge. In the minute before 5:45 o'clock the sky turned to inky blackness and the wind came.
 All Omaha hospitals are filled with injured. Scores of these are unlden- tified and other scores are uncon- scious. Many physicians from near bv cities have responded to the call for aid and there seems adequate pro- vision for the maimed.
 Mayor Dahlmann today led the city commissioners in a grant of $23'oVV for emergency work and business men within a few hours raised $l5.' 0OO Omaha will handle her own charity if she can and it is not like lv that outside relief will be sought.

"I want to con- graduate you," said Senator Oldham, "and I assure you that it is perfectly satisfactory with me-" And it is per fectly satisfactory with me also," re- turned Governor Futrell, as they clasped hands.
 The meeting of the two men was a tribute to them as we'll as to the state. Throughout the legal proceed | lu6S duQ dClCuUduC both have displayed kindness and good feling, and their meeting when the supreme court had settled the dis pute was consistent with their past expressions.
 Governor Futrell then took charge of the office recently vacated by Senator Oldham. He named as his secretary Andrew " Smith, representative from Bradley county in the recent general assembly. Stationery was ordered prepared for new administration. The question settled, business relat- ing to all the departments of state government was brought before the governor. An armful of bills. await ing the signature of the governor, was piled high upon the desk of the secre- tary.

How Erostbite Comes.

The first effect of cold on the skin is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are YES
sells that take blood from the heart.
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, and the connecting YES
sells are called capillaries. While these
little vessels are contracting the skin
itself becomes tenscr. III a few mo-
ments or minutes the effects change.
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contra elton Of the capillaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the YES
sells dilate so the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated, and the skin be-
comes blush. Then the nutrient fluid
IN the skin (the LYMPH is coagulated.
and the stretched skin ruptures or
"cIlaps." If the cold is more severe its
action is deeper, and the blood itself
may be eoagulated. This is frostbite.
