FURIOUS STORM SWEPT COUNTRY Worst Wind Storm lu Twenty-one Ier in Alliance Damage Is Done to Growing Crops "This is tbe worst wind storm in western Nebraska in twenty-one years," Bald Postmaster I. E. Tasb last Friday, as be and a Herald re porter braced themselves against a wall for support. "In April, twenty one years ago, we had a storm some thing like this," continued Mr. Tasb. Tbe wind was so severe for sever al hourB that it was impossible for a woman to make any headway against it on tbe street. Many people who ordinarily eat dinner at home stayed down town at restaurants, rather than face the wind and dust. The wind carried dust into tbe air for bundreds of feet. Crops were serl- usly injured at some places, partic ularly corn which was whipped and cut by flying particles of dirt. Tbe cbautauqua tent, pitched on tbe hill near the high school, was completely torn to ribbons. The wind was blowing so hard that it was impossible to take it down before it was blown to pieces. The street sprinkler heroically worked for an hour or so in the morning, but soon gave up and went for shelter. The water had very lit tle effffect upon the great clouds of east which were blown in from Bide streets and the country. At the Burlington depot grounds the lawn fronting on Box Butte ave- ue was almost completely covered with cinders and gravel blown there Jrom the street. Trains from the east, heading against the wind, were late, while trains from the west were earried along almost altogether by force of tbe wind, it being necessary te vse but little steam. lined up by twos and marched in a body to the mayor's office, where two of the crowd who had been sel ected as spokesmen addressed the mayor and asked him for assistance in helping the crowd procure a meal. The mayor replied that there were no city funds for that purpose and that he could not help them. The men then separated and begged from back doors. About 11 o'clock several of the men congregated in a bunch on Box B,utte avenue. They were ordered to move and some refused to do so. It became necessary for the officers to use their clubs freely and there was a general fight for a short time. The men were finally subdued and driven out of the city limits. They were supplied with funds by a kind hearted business man, bought them selves some supplies and left town by the fast freight line as quickly as possible.

MANY VAGRANTS INFEST TOWN Movement of Hoboes and Jobless Men Very Strong Police Are Busy Keeping Moving For the last few weeks Alliance Vaa heen visited bv hundreds of Job less men anu hoboes. Tbe police of- fciaiR hare had their hands full keeping them moving and seeing hat they got out of town as fast as they came in. Chief of Police Jef fers reports having had as many as sixty-five in a bunch at one time. Friday morning twenty-four men who had come in the night before on freight number forty-six washed up, Cooling Milk Without Ire When it is impossible to secure ice or a supply of ice-cold water, milk, cream, and butter as well as other foods may be kept cold by tbe use of a pit or shallow well. The dairy de partment of the Nebraska College of Agriculture advises that such pits may have a temperature of less than 70 degrees when the actual temper ature in the shade is 104 degrees F. When these special pits are used for no other purposes, the milk and cream are usually of a much better quality than would be the case if they were Btored in the ordinary cave or roo t cellar containing vege tables of all sorts. It is a well- known fact that milk and cream rea dily absorb odors from anything that may stand near them. A well or pit suitable for the cooling of cream should be about ten to fifteen feet deep and can be cemented, bricked, or boarded up as seems best under local conditions. A simple hoisting apparatus with counterweight may be used. l'KHU NORMA h NOTKS (By Herald Correspondent) Miss Ruby Page Ferguson, head of the expression department of the Normal, entertained the students and faculty at chapel Monday.
