CYCLONES BRING DEATH TO 12
That Many in Hawkeye State Lose
Lives Due to Twisters Big
Property Losses Also.
As a result of the storm that was
plainly in evidence here last even
ing as raging elsewhere, many towns
and large sections of the country
side in Iowa suffered heavy property
damage. Communication is slowly
being established and it is impossi
ble to verify early reports that two
or three smaller Iowa villages were
virtually wiped out. '
Many Plattsmouth people with
vivid remembrance of the terrible
Omaha cyclone a few years ago were
anxiously watching the condition of
the" skies last evening, fearful lest
a tornado come this way. But Platts
inouth and its immediate vicinity
was spared from any damage what
ever as a result of the storm.
lies Moines, May 9. Five persons
are known to be -riead, six other
deaths were reported at midnight
and scores of persons are injured as
the result of several tornadoes that
swept through northeastern and
eastern Iowa today. Three of the
known dead resided at New Hamp
ton and tro at Nashua. Six addi
tional deaths were reported at C'al-
mar, according to a dispatch from
West Union. 18 miles south of there.
The wreck of a Milwaukee passen
ger train at Calmaf was reported by
telephone from West Union after
midnight. The report received at
West Union was that a string of box
cars was blown out upon the track
and struck by the train from Aus-
tin, Minn. It was imposible to con
firm this report or get any further
particulars of the wreck.
Virtual cessation of wire com
munication with the affected dis
tricts made it difficult to get accu
rate details, but indications are that
while a terrific, gale was prevalent
over most of central and northern
Iowa, the tornadoes were confined to
Clv'ckaraw-, Winnesheik, Scott and
Muscatine counties.
The biggest twister probably was
that which struck near Nashua and
traveled northwestward eight miles
to Republic over a width of alout a
mile. Another tornado just north of
the former settled five miles south
west of New Hampton and destroyed
40 or 50 homesteads.
Kvery building in the path of the
Nashua tornado was wrecked over a
district seven miles loud and one-
fourth to one-half mile wide.
Illinois reports indicate a contin
uation or resumption of the twisters
in that state. The stDrm was accom
panied by torrential rains washing
out miles of track and many build
ings were destroyed and crops and
gardens ruined.
Over parts of South Dakota heavy
rains fell while'' around Rapid City
and for a considerable distance to
the east three inches' of snow fell.
During the storm darkness equalling
that of a total eclipse of the sun fell
over the landscape " and frightened
many residents of the state.
WANTED TO TAKE THE AUTO.
From Friday's Dully.
(leorge Crowser, hailing from St.
Joseph, Mo., arrived in the city this
mornirg, claiming the large Paige
car, which was captured by the sher
iff a short time since in the raid on
the blockade running bootleggers,
claiming that the car was his. He
brought with him a bundle of creden
tials with which he wished to sus
tain the fact that the car was his
and that the one having it, and wto
gave his name as Joseph Brown had
stolen the car. He has business cards,
which showed that he was in the liv
ery business, and that he was ready
to 'serve . any one anywhere He
claims that he rented the car to the
man for a short time and that he
went away with it. The fact being
that when the raid was made souc
months ago, when the five cars were
caught, that this identical car -was
one of the ones captured, but at that
time turned back when the fines were
paid. This car was driven at. that
time by a man namd Neisce. Tle
same man drove the car this time
and gave his name as Joseph Brown,
and was rcognized by Sheriff Quin-
ton as the man who was in custody (

BACKACHE IS
DISCOURAGING
Eut Not So Bad If Yen Knew How to
Reach the Cause. 1
Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Plattsmouth people recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. Read
this case:
Mrs. C. C. Burbridge, Vine St.,
Plattsmouth, says: "About five years
ago, my back caused me a great deal
of misery. It ached most all the
tUne. After I had taken Doan's Kid
ney Pills for a while, my back fejt
as strong as ever. Since then, I have
always considered Iioan's fine for
backache and kidney trouble and
have recommended them to uiy
neighbors when I have heard them
complaining." ,
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's , Kidney Pills the same
that Mrs. Burbridge had. Foster-Mil-burn
Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
Cause of Headache.
By knowing the cause, a disease
may often be avoided. Thif in par
ticularly trne of headache. The uicst
common cause of headache is a dis
ordered stomach or constipation,
which may be corrected by taking a
few doses of Chamberlain's Table; t.
Try it. Many others have ob'Aifitd
?enuan2i:t relief by taking tlui-e
Tablets. They are easy to take ai.d
mild and gentle in effect.

From T! iirs-1 ny':t Daily.
Mrs. Ph. -Meisinger. at Hie Eman

morning underwent an operation for

which was used. Later she was rest
ing some better, though suffering
considerable. Ed. Tritscn was there j
and returned last evening, saying
that it was so soon after the opera

showing conditions, about as one
ordinarily under the circumstances.

WRESTLING WITH THE

From Fri'luy's Iaily.
The Board of Education are hav

their acceptance. But a few days
while visiting here Miss Elizabeth
Waterman, daughter of Henry Wat

had a meeting to consider the matter
accepted her as a teacher. Night be
fore last she departed for her home
at Galesburg, Illinois, M yesterday
morning not bet a short time after
she had reached her home, a wire
was received here by the secretary
of the board, telling of her declina

promptly was very gracious or. her
part, in order that the board would
have all opportunity to fill the posi

on account tf her worth had been
