ed, Over Four Hundred Hurt and
Nearly Four Thousand Buildings,
Homes.! Churches, Schools, I0tc.,
Wrecked uml Damaged.
More than 200 persons were killed
and 4 00 were injured in a wind
storm that demolished 4 50 homes,
damaged hundreds of other buildings
and caused a monetary loss of $5,000,000,
according to reports available
up to a late hour Monday night
from the main path of the tornado
in and near Omaha.
Fire broke out in the debris of
many wrecked buildings in the Nebraska
metropolis, and these were
menaces for some time, as the fire
companies were hindered by fallen
walls and blockaded streets. A heavy
' rain followed the wind, however, and
drenched the hundreds of homeless
? persons, but also put out the flames.
Of the 202 known dead within the
area covered by the storm, 152 were
residents of Omaha. The remaining
dead are scattered over a considerable
range of territory, with Council
Bluffs reporting 12; Yutan, Neb., 1C;
Berlin. Neb., 7; Glennwood, la., 5,
Neola. Ia., 2; and iBartlett, la., 2.
The same cities and towns report an
aggregate of 4 00 injured and 4 50
homes damage.
While the loss of life is much less
than at first reported, the damage by
the tornado was fearful to both human
life and property.
Perhaps 1,500 persons are homeless.
Aside from this, 3,000 buildings
were more or less damaged,
some of these being churches and
school buildings. Eight of Omaha's
public schools were wrecked.
All forms of communication were
A almost annihilated by the wind and
only two or three wires were in
\ working order out of what for'twenty
hours had been chaos.
The storm swept the western part
of the city for its entire length. The
eastern half of the city?generally
composing the business section?was
out of the path of the storm but suffered
greatly. The section damaged
is;the residential portion of the city.
A/number of outlying business thor-"T^rjghfarefl.also
aie in the destroyed
area.
* The storm appeared to have started
at 5 4th and Center streets. From
thorn it travelled north. vceri?)g
slightly to the east, to Leavenworth
street. Then it took a norheasterly
course to 4 0th and Farnum slreets,
sweeping its way through everything.
Still travelling a little east of north,
it covered a course from 4 0th street,
east, to 3 4 th street, a distance of six
blocks.
Striking Bennis Park, where the
>homes of the well-to-do Omahans
are located, the storm turned sharply
to the east and passed along Parker
and Blonde streets to 24th street,
where its path was six blocks wide.
In the latter section the damage is
Complete. Many handsome residences
in this section were demolished and
many people killed or hurt.
Finally at 14tli and Spencer streets
the storm swept over the bluffs, high
a{)ove the Missouri River, demolished*
the Missouri-Pacific roundhouse,
levelled the big trestle of the Illinois
Central Railroad over Carter Lake,
wrecked a number of buildings near
the Rod and Clun Club, a fashionable
outing place, and disappeared
to the northwest.
The streets of Omaha are filled
with wreckage of houses, uprooted
^trees and tangled electric wires.
Street car movement is impossible,
wagon and automobile travel almost
so. The storm came almost without
warning, the day which opened with}
overeast skies having cleared in the I
afternoon. It took the tornado only)
a few minutes to do its work of de-!
s traction.
The little town of Ralston, three
miles west of South Omaha, first felt
II1? HU'jr UJL 111C DIU11U, VV illtll I I
took a toll of a half dozen or more (
lives and practically destroyed the
town. In a northeasterly direction ,
and almost a straight line it trav- ]
elled, wrecking many handsome i
homes in the fashionable West Far- 1
nam and Bemis Park districts. \
Many business buildings in the vi- ,
cinity of 2 4th and Lake streets were (
destroyed or badly damaged. Hero (
the heaviest loss of life occurred.
Electric light and trolley wires were
carried down by the storm and power
had to be shut off in the devastated
districts so that all work in the night 1
might be done by the light of lan- f
terns and only an imperfect idea of r
the extent and character of the dam- r
age could be formed. (
The work of rescue was at once 1
undertaken but only slow progress 1
was made in the darkness, and the t
blockaded streets. Emergency hospitals
were established at various
points and all available physicians
and nurses pressed into service. Dr. t
H. W. Connell, city health commis- 1
sioner, appealed to surgeons to vol- v
unteer their services for the relief of c
the Injured and the response came e
' )
by scores.
City authorities, realizing the extent
of the calamity, immediately
asked the commander of the Federal
forces at Fort Omaha for aid in patrolling
the wrecked districts to prevent
looting and aid victims. iMajoi
Hartmann, in command at Fort Omaha,
acceeded to the request without
hesitation, sending all available men,
A similar request to the commanders
of the three local military companies
also met with prompt response
and the State troops aided much in
the work of rescue. Later, when an
appeal was sent to Governor Moorhead,
he ordered four companies of
militia from outside the city to report
there for duty and came himself
arriving at three o'clock in the
morning.
Among the buildings destroyed
were eleven churches and eight
school houses. No loss of life accompanied
the demolition of these
buildings. Secred Heart Convent
was annihilated, but the fifty inmates
escaped. The Missouri Pacific roundhouse
and the roundhouse of the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha
Railway were wrecked.
A number of persons were seriously
injured when a street car was
blown over at 47th and Leavenworth
streets. The conductor, John Cooper,
was seriously injured. The motorman,
Fred Hentley, jumped just
as the car started to roll. The wind
picked him up, carried him 2 00 feet
and set him down in a field considerably
shaken. Conductor Cooper says
there were at least liftcen passengers
in the car. All were more or less
hurt.
It was late Monday before all the
details of the storm which accompanying
wreckage were known even
within the city itself. The pathway
of the storm, from three to seven
blocks in width, cut a swath twentyfour
blocks long. Within the space
of this storm center, which if made
rectangular would cover a quarter
section of land, 1,200 houses are
wrecked, 100 bodies have, been recovered
and search of th6 ruins is
being made for others. Several are
known to be still in the ruins at the
end of the storpi's path.
Estimates of the value of property
demolished by the storm vary between
$5,000,000 and $12,000,000.
Some of the more substantial houses
can be partially rebuilt. Where the
buildings have not been torn asunder
they have been so twisted that even
the material is useless for rebuilding.
The destruction began with the
millionaire homes in the West Farnam
and Bemis park district, but
farther northwest the buildings collapsed
more easily and a large number
of deaths resulted.
Rescue work started as soon as
the people were able to hurry to the
stricken district, but as the night's
work was by the light of lanterns
little was accomplished. The storm
took down all the wires in its path
and the electric power was shut off
immediately to prevent further loss
of life.
With the arrival of daylight, a
train load of militia from Lincoln,
and the presence in the city or Governor
Morehead, the work was systematized
and Monday night indications
were that one more day will
end the search for bodies and will
even witness a general attempt at rebuilding
work.

Told by Eye Witnesses as They Traveled
on a Train.
Eye-witnesses of the flooded districts
of Ohio, who reached Chicago
Wednesday, told stories of devastation
wrought by the swollen streams
throughout the deluged section.
From windows of a Baltimore and
Ohio train?W. H. Chown, of England,
saw men, women and children
fleeing from their homes as the waters
undermined foundations and
carried off house after house.
"For miles and miles we saw nothing
but water," said Chown. "Farm
houses, almost submerged, could be
seen on every hand and from their
windows, people carrying what few
articles they could crawled into boats
and rowed away. Every stream we
crossed seemed to ,be a raging torrent,
its waters racing at top speed
far beyond its natural boundaries."
Absolute darkness seemed to reign
in the districts through which the
I rain passed, according to Alfred
Glriftln, another Englishman, who was
fi passenger. The farther we got the
worse seemed to become the conditions,"
he said. "There were no
lights along the entire countryside,
t wos most gloomy and awe-inspiring
We could hear the swish of the waera
through the darkness and every
low and then the cries of people in
listress. It was a horrible experience."

DICKERT MAKES REPLY
r ?
| NEWBERRY MAN WRITES OF
SOLDIERS' HOME ROW.
He
Makes Some Suggestions of a
Change in the Management of the
) Home.
1 To the Editor of The State:
1 So much has been said and written
| recently of the doings in the last
meeting of the board of commissioners
for the Old Soldiers' Home that I
am reminded of the saying of the
'I 1. t. ? ..1. 1 .1, ? II A
uuyji wiiun nu dueureu mu ?uw.
mighty lot of noise for so little
wool." Now 1 wish to give my version
in a simple and straightforward
manner and let the public be the
judge, for the little jibes of the
smooth spoken Todd, in his proclamation
"To the people of South Carolina,"
I pass it by, as unworthy of
notice. The "people of South Carolina"
do not care a rap whether 1 was
"drunk" or sober, or even whether 1
was dead or alive; but what they
are interested in is the truth or falsity
of the charges made against the
management of the home. However,
it would have been a little more manlv
hnvfi w:iiitul until I had be
come sober, if drunk, and demanded
an apology, a retraction or rammed
the false or offensive wonls down
my throtit. But, as it was, really it
may have been better for M*\ Todd
and myself both to wait until I was
hundreds of miles away, then let out
his manifesto and issued his proclamation
"to the people" instead of to
me. It was kind indeed of him to be
so thoughtful of my sensitive feelings,
for which I tender him my
thanks.
I make no pretensions to a surplus
of honesty, truthfulness or sobriety;
these are not my long suits; ,but I
am willing to be judged by Todd in
his record of trying to obtain from
the legislature $13,000 for his State
house plans and model, and I am
willing to stand against iMaj. Richardson
in the charges made by the
commandant and inmates of the
home. 1 do not vouch for the truthfulness
of either, bur both are in
black and white, and some of them
sworn to. This is no "falling out
among thieves", for "honest men to
get their dues". If there has been
any thievery, I do not know of it of
my own knowledge, but used the
word graft in the broad meaning as it
is understood to-day?allowing exor
bitant salaries, knowingly permitting
people's money to be ruthlessly
squandered, loose handling of other
people's money, favoritism, etc, T
do not make these charges, but refer
to the testimony taken before the investigating
committee. Maj. Richardson
and myself have always got
along harmoniously and amicably.
When I was first invited to a place
on the board I took it as a mere compliment
to the little part I had taken
in the war. We were to have a capable
manager, a good disciplinarian
and an honest man to run the entire
institution; therefore little for us to
do. During Mr. Mixon's energetic
and efficient, management everything
rolled along smoothly. When he
died, Maj. Richardson took his place.
But soon afterward, complaining of
his inability to give the home his
time, owing to the pressing needs of
)ilo o t ton f {r?r? r?n li J a farm Via roaicn.

ed. We put Mr. Caldwell in. I did
not know him, but being assured he
was a good man, which we found
him, I voted for him. But I found
he was weak, physically, and old age
had laid its hand upon 10m, so much
so that he was not able to control and
proprely govern such a difficult lot of
old men, called for a young and a
more positive man, but we kept him
until his time was out. During all
this time I had not the remotest idea
that Maj. Richardson had had anything
to do with the institution since
his resignation until Mr. McMalian
began to "raise the lid". I was astonished
to find he was chairman of
a board from which he had resigned
and drawing a salary of $100 per
month, contrary to law, as I thought.
If he was chairman, as he claimed,
he would have to be a member, and
as such he could receive no X ly, I
know, for the law and the appropriation
made no provision for a treasurer
at $100 per month. If so, there
would have been a treasurer from the
start. I brought this to the attention
of .Maj, Richardson and he acknowledged
the truth of my contention,
but said he had been legally ad
vised that the board had the power
to create this office and lix the salary.
I could not deny the logic, but doubted
the wisdom of the law. When I
saw I could not stem the current* and
did not care to swim with it, I tendered
my resignation. It was returned,
with the request to withdraw it,
as a personaT matter.
When Maj. Richardson was asked
the question, by the investigating i
committee, whether he could produce t
the minutes of the meeting of the I
board in which he was elected chair- i
man and treasurer, what members 1
were present and who proposed his i
salary, he said he could. It seems {
they did not press the matter, for I t
have not seen anywnere a notice of i
those minutes. I was curious to t
know who of the board were really i
present. I would be glad to see the {
minutes of any meeting. No doubt *
they can produce them, but in my t
two years' membership I have never 1
heard the minutes read or & detailed 1
account of any disbursements. I ]

Dr. Butler says at the investigation j
that he was present at the time lie
and the major were elected, and tne ;
"whole board was present". (See
Dr. Hutler's testimony before the investigating
committee, page 53, last
paragraph.)
Dr. iBaitler is mistaken, although
honestly so. Neither Maj. Thompson
nor myself were present, and as Maj.
Richardson had resigned he had no
vote. If Gov. Dlease was present I
feel assured he cast no vote, for in
all the meetings in his oilice (only
two, I think) he always expressed a
willingness to help us in any way. {
but would take no hand in our deliberation.
He would not even allow us
to organize or do any business in his
presence. Then only two of the old
members were there?Dr. Hutler and
Maj. Richardson?both being beneficiaries
of that vote. I charge no
crookedness, but refer the curious to

committee, pages 5 3,-5 4.
When was the matron appointed
and her salary placed at $(>0 per
month? What members were present?
She says she was not "ollicially"
connected with the home
when her father-in-law died. But ,
here are the questions and answers:
Q. What capacity were you there? '
A. 1 was really not appointed ma
tron. {
Q. And your capacity there (now) *
A. Just the same as now, but was not (
oliicially appointed matron. 1
Now if she is in no oflicial capacity 1
how is she continued on the pay roll?
It appears in the committee's report j
that she at one time received $25.
Who is responsible for her receiving *
$(>() now? I do not write this to say
she received too much salary, for i "
think she and I>r. Butler are both efficient
and honest members of the N
management, and neither receive too 1
large a fee. But I only wish to show ^
many things are done there that the
whole board is not responsible for. j
During one of our meetings I told ^
the board: "We must have a younger ^
and more efficient commandant."
Mere I was met with the answer that ^
we could have none as commandant
but an old veteran. 1 called Senator
Johnstone's and Arthur Kibler's j.
(member of ways and means committee)
attention to the imperfection in j.
the law. They looked into the mat- ^
ter and informed me that there was ,
110 such law and we could elect
whom we pleased. When 1 told the r
board we must have a new deal. Maj.
Richardson was ready with a "cure"
for all "the ailment". Turn off Mr.
Caldwell; make a Mr. Black adju- r
tain; retain tnc matron; no wouiu no ^
superintendent at $ 100 per month.
This did not suit me. Then we all
agreed that the whole board would
resign in two weeks and give the governor
a free hand to appoint a new
board. The public is familiar with 's
the last two weeks' happenings. Gov.
Blease retained Mr. Crews and F
myself on the board and appointed
three new ones. We met last Tuesday
in the governor's oillce and adjourned
to the old home. '
Just as I was starting for our ai
meeting three lines of typewriten a
matter was put in my hands without ai
a signature, it read:"Have a guard. I in
think there is a side current running pi
to retain Richardson and the old ai
management." As the major was no ar
longer a factor, having resigned, with se
do possible chance of his being rein- of
stated only by the governor, I gave tu
he matter no thought. But after our ro
meeting and organizing, Todd's ro- pc
Lion to retain Mr. Richardson and the tlf
management in office until an inves- dr
Ligation took place I took to mean fle
"the balance of Blease's administra- Cc
Lion." I became a little restless and i D<

tiro.
The Rev. Irl Hicks, who predicted
tss the storm that destroyed Galveston
iet almost to the day, made an accurate
ng forecast of the terrible weather
he
1(j through which portions of the South
[1(1 and Northwest passed during the last
is, week. Here is his forecast for this
of period, printed in his almanac which
is- was issued on the first of last Novemor
bor, nearly live months ago. He said:
d" "Tln> mnnii urlll tin in nnnnctttmi
x uv it i vv/ it ?? At* wv tu v/|f|/voni\;ii
P~ with earth and sun, at an eclipso node
i? on the 2 2, and on the celestial equa?t
tor and in perigee on the 2 1st. We"
is will venture to put down Wednesday,
1,1 Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sun11_
day, the 10th, 20th, 21st, 22nd and
23rd, as constituting a period of
great and dangerous disturbances.
10 People in southern parts of the coun10
try will do the wise and prudent
?n thing to recognize the probability of
it equatorial and tornadic storms. Phenomenal
electrical storms of rain and
10 1 h-ail will visit many sections, espec1(i
| iallv the southern states; blizzardous
10 storms and gales will sweep down
it from the north merging into storms
L>1 from the south, causing tornadoes, .
10 floods and cold blizzard of snow."
On Wednesday, the 19th instant,
which is the first date he warns us,
tornadoes passed through Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee, killing many
people and doing much damago to
h property. Then on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday wo had more torna|.
does and destruction. On Saturday
and Sunday Omaha and other cities
in the northwest were visited by destructive
tornadoes, followed by
J heavy rains, snow and freezing
weather. Then came the floods in
Ohio, Indiana and other States. Dlizzards
also raged in the same region
even up to the present time. All
these facts can be verified by refer^
eivce to tho daily newspapers of the
t past ten days. Tho accuracy of the
^ predictions he made are remarkable.
?
In the presence of tho awful calir
amity that has overtaken the people
/ of Dayton and other places, words
- are inadequate to express one's sym1
pathy. We can only remember that
God is God, and earnestly pray that
> in His infinite mercy Ho will com*
r pensate in some way the men and
a women and the little children who
t have been forced to pass through this
fearful horror.
