The history of the middle west con- tains no record of storms of such vio­ lence and attended by such appalling loss of life, - t 1,200 Houses Wrecked. Twelve hundred- houses were .wrecked in Omaha in addition to five <^Qblic schools and seven churches. ' " At the moment that the storm struck every light in the oity was 'extinguished. Fires started all over the destroyed section. Torrential Tains came immediately and reduced this danger to a minimum. Panic ensued. Mayor Dahlman took person­ al command of the situation and «alled out all the available state -troops, appealing at the same time to Governor Morehead for reinforce- £ ments. Before the roar of the tornar do had diec| out in the distance the work ef rescue had begun. It can- tlnued uninterruptedly by lantern light all through the night and with the arrival of the governor with addi­ tional state troops, supplemented by the federal troops from Fort Omaha, order is being rapidly restored and accurate accounting made of the ex­ tent of the damage. The Jiotels in the downtown fec- . tkra of the city, which escaped with r little damage, have been turned into hospitals for the treatment of the hundreds of injured. Aid Is Forthcoming. Trains bearing physicians, nurses supplies have been arriving from erery direction. Money, tod, is poui^ lag into the city from all quarters and effers of aid are being received from . all sides. The situation is appalling but It is •believed that the authorities now •have it well in hand and there re­ mains but the work of locating all of „ the dead, caring for the injured and clearing away the wreckage prepare , lory to rebuilding. • GREATEST OF DIAMOND MINES :' •'-\; • H'Jbceavatlon In Klmberly Employe Many Theueande of Kafirs Dtyj- ' 0ta|l la the Precious •arth.

It struck the city limits of Omaha at the field club, in the southwest section and plowed a path six blocks wide straight through the city three and one-half miles in length. The tornado area was from the southwest llmitB, across the west side of the city, which included the West Farnum residence section, the nicest fashionable residence dis­ trict, which wab almost completely de­ stroyed, and thenee to tbe north sec­ tion, where the death toll was great­ est. After twisting across the north­ east line of the city, the tornado freak­ ishly doubled back across the Missouri river, wrecking the Illinois Central bridge and tearing through Council Bluffs, where at least six persons were killed and great property loss caused. ' Whole Blocks In Rulne. The wonder in the mind of every person who has Been the blocks and blocks of ruins; the shapeless heaps of wreckage that were houses; and has learned the authenticated Instances by which the houses were blown from their foundations and dashed, four stories high, against sturdier struc­ tures and of tbe tumbling about of lo­ comotives on the Missouri Pacific roupdhouse little shuttlecocks of the wind, is that the death list is not greater. One explanation brought for­ ward is that the tornado came at an hour when a greater percentage of the people were on the streets than usual. Before the storm there had not been even a puff of wind. 'At five o'clock the clouds piling up from the south took on an awesome greenish tinge. In the minutes before 5:45 o'clock the sky turned to inky blackness, and the wind came. » :+ . Hospitals Filled With Injured. All Omaha hospitals are filled With injured. Scores of these are unidenti­ fied .and other scores are unconscious. Many physicians from nearby cities have responded to the calls for aid and Transvaal government, and was cut Into eleven flawless stones, the larg­ est of which is in the imperial orown. The Premier mine possesses an area of 3,500 claims, equal to eighty acres, and at the present time 12,000,- 000 loads "of treatable "bine," as the diamond-yielding earth Is known, are dealt with every year. And such are the resources of the mine that it Is calculated that during the next forty years the present annual output will be easily maintained. At present the mine Is about 350 feet deep, and It Is considered prac­ tical to work' to a depth of 1,500 feet The quality of the stones discovered is increasing in value with the depth, and, in order to encourage honesty among the Kaffirs, a payment of 3s a karat on all stonees found and deliv­ ered to the compound' managers is paid, In addition to the 16,000 Kaffirs there are 1,000 Whites working in the mine in various capacities. It is wonderfully equipped with electric plant and machinery, and is a fasci­ nating sight after sunset, with a- thou­ sand electric lights twinkling, eight suited, particularly on the Northwest side of the city, as a result of the wind, rain and hail storm which swept over this section during the early morning hours of Monday. The gale was one of the he4viest Chicago has experienced In recent years and came just as the wire com­ panies were recovering from the effects of the spring-day storm of Friday morning. The storm played general havoc anew with telegraph, telephone and trolley wires, and Interfered to some extent with traffic. Lightning added to the damage by starting sev­ eral fires. Boy Killed in NIs Home. One of the victims of the tragfttle# resulting from the storm was Orlo Sloccmbe, twelve years old, who was crushed to death iii the home of his parents, when it collapsed under the fury of the fifty-elght-mlle-an-hour gale. Another fatality was that of Thomas Ywanowicz, who was killed by a broken electric wire in the alley back of his home. The third Chicagoan killed was also electrocuted. He was Frank Pecher, a lineman employed by the Cosmopoli- £on Electric company, who received an electric shock while making repairs at the top of a pole. He fell to the ground and was dead when the near­ est person reached his side.. The two men killed in Des Plaines were brakemen employed by the Soo road. They were in the caboose of a train when a smokestack, blown down by the wind, fell on the oar and killed the two occupants. ' llndiana Ruins Yield. Terre Haute, Ind., March 26.-- Twenty-six victims of a tornado which swept the southern' part of Terro Haute and Vigo county late Sunday night have been identified and more than seventy-five injured are being cared for in improvised hospitals. Several more bodies are expected to bo found when the ruins of 200 homes, leveled by the storm, have been cleared away. At the request of Mayor Gerhardt, Governor Ralston ordered out Com­ pany B of the Indiana National ̂Guard to patrol the devasted district and help in the rescue work. More than 150 persons were made homeless and the city council in extra session appropriated $500 to start a relief fund. Telephone messages reaching here from Prairletun, nine miles south, state that nearly every house in the town had been destroyed, a^d that many homes between here and that place had been leveled. Torrential rains accompanied the tor­ nado and probably Saved man^ per­ sons, pinned in the wreckage, from burning to death, as electric wires and lightning flred the debris in many In­ stances.

His Proposed Substitute. When Ralph Delmore, who was as­ sisting in staking "The Confession,** was giving instructions one day to the actors as to" what they should wear during the snowstorm in the first act. he said: -I want the men to wear their heaviest overcoats during this scene, as it is supposed to be the coldest night in twenty years. v Now, dont forget this." Mr. Delmore repeated this order several times to Impress it ea the luiudv of actors, when one of them, undoubtedly new to the- stage and. who had no lines at all to speak, ap- , proached him: "I have no overcoat, Mr. Delmore. but suppose I wear my heavy flannel underwear?"--Metropolitan Magaxine. •ecret of Sphinx Revealed* , It seems strange that the great sphinx of Egypt, one of the seven won­ ders of the world, has never yet been explored. But Professor Reisner of Harvard intends to remove ihat par­ ticular reproach from archaeology, and Indeed he has already so far done so as to justify a remarkable report upon his progress. Inside the paws of the sphinx he has found a temple dedi­ cated to the sun and dating from about <5000 B. C. This temple is connected by tunnels with another chamber in the head of the figure and measuring 60 feet long by 14 feet wide. Hun­ dreds of gold crosses have been found in the form of the "Crux AnBata" with attached wires for the tiny gold bells that were used tor ceremonial pur­ poses. One of Professor Reisner's Jchief difficulties is in the reluctance of his Arab workmen to enter the ex­ cavations. and nothing will persuade them to sleep there. They say that tbe place is full of devils. » New Commerce Building. -* Next month, April 16 and IT, 'the University of Illinois will dedicate a new Commerce building to the senN Ices of the courses in various lines of business, as banking, accounting, journalism, insurance and railway ad­ ministration. It Is coming to be the general opin­ ion in Illinois thai the State univers­ ity should be an institution where the youth of the state may go to find advanced training, a higher educa­ tion if you please, not only in the or- dinary recognized professions, but also In agriculture, in engineering, la the Industries and In business. It is interesting to note in this con­ nection that President Edmund James of the University of Illinois, was a leader in this movement for commer- mercial education more than twenty- five years ag<v,^ As director of the Wharton School of Finance and Econ­ omy of the University of Pennsyl­ vania, he developed the first school of the kind in this country, and it hail served as a model ever since. No man, then, Is better qualified than President James to carry out plans for such a School and to develop edu cation along commercial, financial and administrative lines. For a number of years, courses In business have been given at the uni versity and the results seem to have met with the approval of business men and business firms throughout Illinois and many other states. With the opening of a fine Com­ merce building the department will have still greater opportunities of de­ velopment and will be able to serve still more fully the industries of our Btate. The purpose is not merely to train men for clerkships, but to give thorough courses in the principles of banking and accounting, in Insurance, in railway administration, so that the men thus trained will know how to grapple with the great problems of in­ dustrial life. Among the speakers at the various meetings will be Mr. Charles D. Nor­ ton, vice-president First National bank. New York; Mr. Harry A Wheeler, president of the Chambers of Commerce of the United States; Mr. Howard C. Elting, president of Chicago Association of Commerce; Dr. F. A.

Illinois has been enriched by $62,- 624 as the result of the discovery of property valued at $1,600,000 follow­ ing the death of Alfred M. Barber of Crystal Lake. That amount has been remitted to the state treasurer as the inheritance tax on the estate. It Is declared that it is the largest amount 4ver paid on an estate outside of Cook county, and that only seven estates in Cook county paid a larger sum. Efforts are now being made to collect from the Barber estate back taxes. Springfield Wants Headquarters.
