Entering the city from the south-west, after wiping Ralston entirely from the map, the tornado swept past the county hospital to 'the west in a north-easterly direction, takin everything in its path. It travelle east to the river, and lost itself in the Iowa bluffs. Buildings were blown down or picked up by the terrific force of the wind. Trees Were levelled, and smaller strucâ€" tures were completely wrecked by the wind, which swept a path for itself through the most costly resi‘ deuce section, as well as the most lowâ€"lying parts ofthe city. Some of the finest homes, those recently erected by Omaha’s wealthiest men, are to-day a mass of ruins. Hunâ€" dreds of families saw their homes swept away or damaged so badly that they were uninhabitable, and the occupants were forced to bear the torrential rain (that followed the twister. After the tornado and the rain came an even greater! menace in the fires that broke out in a score of places. At least 25 houses were do- stroyed by flames. To add to the horror of the night, the electricity failed. Wires Wentdown, and pot only the residence, but the street lights were extinguished, leaving only the fitfuzl glare from hundreds of lanterns to light up the scenes of sorrow While the rescue parties were at work. -Those sections of the city which have reported the heaviest loss of life are the disâ€" tricts surrounding the county hos- pitals and the child institute, the territory near Twenty-fourth and Lake streets, and from there east. But from every point in the path of the storm, reports were received all night of‘people killed, or burned in the ruins of their homes. Shortly before six o’clock last evening the storm signs were first noted. It. appeared south-west of Omaha, coming toward the city with the speed of an express train. The rear of the whirling, twisting wind could be heard long before the storm struck, and people in the southern portion of the city assertâ€" ed they could hear the angry rum- ble when it struck the village of Ralstton. The vanguard of the storm was a huge fanâ€"shaped cloud, dark and lowering, which gradually narrowed into a funnel-shaped cloud that dipped earthward, and wherever it struck it left a wake of death, injuries and wreck-ed homes. Almost all over the city people stood and watched the'storm ap- â€"â€" A Jolly Good ' Day Follows A Good Breakfast Try a dish of ' Post Toastics to-morrow morning.

Work of Rescue Begins. Although dazed for a. time by the suddenness of the storm and the damage done, the people living in the wrecked portions of the city who were unhurt and those residing nearby hastened to the task of res- cuing the injured.‘ With a motor wagon pressed into service, physi- cians and nurses were hastily sum- moned. Hospitals and other build- lngs, turned into relief stations for the injured, and: morgucs for the dead. Every undertaker’s estab- lishment in. the city, and even in South Omaha, was taxed to the limit in caring for the dead. As the night were on the devastation wrought by the storm became more and more evident, and the city com- missioners, headed by Mayor Dahl- man, took personal charge of the relief work. Every policeman and fire-man in Omaha, South Omaha, and Council Bluffs, was used in am effort to pre- vent looting of buildings and to aid in the rescue of the injured and putting out of fires. Before mornâ€" in g a call for the local companies of - State troops had been issued. The State ti‘oops Will aid the regulars and the city officers in guarding the wrecked buildings and in searching the ruins for the dead and injured. The heaviest toll was, exact-ed in the western part of Omaha and in the Vicinlty of 24th and Lake, and from there north-east to 16th and Binney. This is the residential por- tion, and the destruction wrought was well nigh appalling. Whole blocks of- homes were picked up and dashed into a. shapel-ese mass. Street cars were hurled from the tracks and- demolished. A movingâ€"picture‘ show at 24th and Lake was destroyed. Ten dead and eight injured have thus far been removed from the ruins. About fifty persons were in the theatre at the time of the disaster and it is feared that most of them are buried in the debris. At 1.30 am Omaha presented a sorry spectacle as a result of last night’s terrific storm. From the Field Club, which is in the western part of the city, to the Carter Lake Club, situated at the‘ north-east exâ€" tremity, is one mass of debris from two to six blocks wide.

The presence of the soldiers gives the city the appearance of being un- der martial law. naming" airman?" Government Secures Services of II. Strickland for Alberta.

FIVE PEOPLE WERE KILLED. ._._.4 And Forty to Sixty Persons Buried ln Ruins at Medicine Hat. A despatch from Medicine Hat, Alberta, says! The worst accident in the history of Medicine Hat took place on Wednesday afternoon, when the Malcolm Canneries blew up, burying in the ruins a large number of ccple, estimated any- where from orty to sixty. Five are known to be dead. The firemen, assisted by a large number of citi- zens, are now digging the ruins to save any others that may be alive. A dozen or more were taken out when the wreck first occurred, and were rushed to the hospital. The number of dead cannot be known for some time, as the whole ruins will have to be removed before the last chance of finding more will be gone. The disaster was caused by a leakage of gas. Among the injured are several fire-men and a few on- lookers. Many had narrow escapes. The building was a threeâ€"story brick structure. The dead: J. Brier, gas inspec- tor; Wm.

To Ease Tight Chest And Cure a Cold LORD KNOLLYS. Rub 011 Nervilinc No Remedy Half So Efficient. .__.. "I didn’t have to suffer long with a sore, wheezy chest. I had a mighty bad coldâ€"it held me like u. vise, but I knew what to do..... I took half a teaspoon- ful of Nerviline in, hot. water and rubbed my neck and chest every half hour dur- ing the evening. You would hardly credit the way Nerviline loosed up that tight chest, enabled me to breathe like n free man, gave me comfort in a few hours." This is the experience of J. P. Durand. a well known resident of Burton's Cor- ners. In thousands of homes Nerviline is used every day. If a little child has a sick stomach. just a. few drops will suffice. If there is any bowel disorder or diarrhoea. only a. small dose is required. Inwa‘rdly or outwardly, wherever there is pain or inflammation. Nerviline will al- ways relieve quickest and cure surest of any remedy known. Family size, 500.; small bottle 25c.. at all storekeepere and druggiets. or The Catarrhozone Co., But falo. N.
