Many prominent men in Nebras

their stamp of approval on Kar

Among Fuch men is L. M. Bene

ant, residing at 22 1 N. Eighth St.,
Council BluiTs, la., just across the
river from Omaha, who says:
"I don't know of any better way
I can help those who are suffering
like I did than inducing them to
try Karnak.

This historical series of prices will

"Records of this character," says
Mr. Sarle, "are usually available

HAIL DOES GREAT

AT FALLS GITY

One of the most severe storms in
recent years in eastern Nebraska
swept ovr Fal'.s City and a small
area of Kirhardson county on Mon
day night, hail, wind and lightning
for two hours sweeping over the city
in violence and leaving in their wake
damages amounting to from $140,
000 to $150,000.
The etorm came from the north
west and struck the city at 6 o'clock,
coming as a very small hailstorm,
but in a half hour the violence of
the etorni incr?asnd and the wind
driving from the north brought great
force to the destructivencps of the
hail and thero was not a window fac
ing the north in the city that was
not broken and shattered by the
force of the hail and adding to the
terrors of the storm the street lights
were broken, wires blown down or

ing and I spent considerable money
trying to get relief. My stomach
gave me no end of trouble and, for
years, I suffered day and night
from gas bloating, biliousness,
headaches and weak, dizzy spells.
There would be sharp pains in my
stomach and I often wondered if
I didn't have appendicitis.
"Well, sir, although all other
medicines and treatments had
failed to help me, Karnak just took
right hold of my case like it was
made especially for my troubles.
In fact, it has helped me so won
derfully in the short time I have
taken it that there is nothing too
good I can say for Karnak. I will
gladly verify these facts about
Karnak to anybody."

evening.
The new $250,000 court house,
which is now nearing completion,
had all of the windows on the north
side destroyed, business houses also
stiff eed from broken windows and
water soaked stocks that were in the
places reached by the wind and rain
that came with the hail.
The A. J. Weaver orchard, one of
the largest in the state, near Shu
bert, was stripped of all fruit buds
and leaves and many of the trees
scarred and injured by the force of
the hail.
Automobiles that were out in the
Ftreet at the time of the storm had

in two lots aboard their ship during
the last few days.
The first lot. consisting of 290 tins,
was discovered just before the ship
left Seattle for Vancouver and was
placed in the custody of the United
States customs authorities. The sec
ond cache, of 300 tins, was found
after the vessel had cleared for this

LEACH'S
FEWER CATTLE
ARE BEING FED
Government Report for April Shows
a Decrease as Compared With
Last Year
Washington, April 19. The num
ber of cattle on feed for market
April 1 in the corn belt states was
SS per cent of the number on feed
at the same date last year, according
to the estimate of the United States
department of agriculture. The de
crease from last year is about the
same east and west of the Mississippi.
The estimate by states is as follows:
States Per Cent
Ohio SO
Indiana 80
Illinois 90
Michigan 95
Wisconsin 100
Minnesota 85
Iowa : 85
Missouri 80
South Dakota 80
Nebraska 80
Kansas 100
To the extent that marketings of
all cattle indicate the number of
cattle grain fed for market the es
timate of December 1, 1924, of only
8 6 per cent as many on feed as on
December 1, 1923. seems to have
been too low. Marketings of all cat
tie from the corn belt states from
December 1, 1924, to April 1, 1925,
were about 94 per cent of the number
for the same period the previous
year. The receipts of well finished
steers at hicago during this period
ending April 1, 1925, were the larg
est in five years and the average
weight was the highest.
FEEDING CARCASSES TO
LIVESTOCK IS DANGEROUS
Failure to destroy or bury deeply

animals can not have access to them.
is responsible for the spread of much
infection on farms. This warning,
frequently given by veterinary spe
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, is shown to be
very important in connection with
the eradication of tuberculosis.
In a recent investigation a farmer
admitter having lost between 80 and
100 chickens from disease. He had
thrown the dead fowls into the hog
pen and had also hauled the clean
ings from the chicken house into a
field in which his hogs ran. Tuber
culin testing showed about 25 per
cent infection of tuberculosis among
the fowls; and a sow that was tested
with avian tuberculin proved to be
tuberculous and indicated moreover
that the infection was of the fowl
type.
SOME REAL SHOOTING
Yesterday afternoon a crowd vari
ously estimated at from 10 to 100
was present at the golf course to see
the match played by C. A. Rosen-
crans, 1925 championship contender,
and Charles J. Kunsmann of Have
lick, who is rusticating here for a few-
days and who had the well know
tonsorial artist out to show him a
few fine points of the game that is so
popular in the land of "Black and
White" and "Haig & Haig."
The opponents had wagered much
coin on the result of their showing
and their friends over the city were
greatly interested In the outcome and
at one time it was expected that the
plays would be broadcast but this
was given up owing to the fact that
all the spectators were so much in
terested that they were unable to do
the announcing.
There are two reports of the results
given to the sporting department of
the Journal, one being that Mr.
Kunsmann made the nine holes in 36,
touching the record of Mr. Rosen-
crans,, while the other report states
that Charles, who is also vice-president
of the Moral Uplift. ciut, made
the round in 87, closely touching the
1924 record of Johnnie Hatt. These
must be taken not too seriously as
the match greatly excited the spec
tators and they may have failed to
keep accurate check of the score, but
never the less the two veterans par
ticipants are well pleased with their
respective showings.
EARTHQUAKE
AFFECTS RADIO
IN CLEVELAND
Ohio Tremors Blot Out the Signals
From the Powerful
WTAM.
Cleveland, O. For the first time
in history the radio played a promin
ent part in the earth tremors that
were felt over a wide section of the
country on Feb. 28. Quick to seize
on the unDrecedented situation, so
far as radio is concerned, various an
nouncers at several stations, the
moment the earth shocks were re
ported, began to request that the In
visible audience watch and listen
closely for any effects the tremor
might have on reception.
Out of the mass of announcements
that followed during the next two
hours, two things apparently were
proved indubitably: Earth tremors
cause fading and, secondly, they dis-!
tinctly halt entirely radio reception, i
In this city WTAM was on the I
air, radiocasting its regular Satur
day night program of jazz and popu-l
lar music. According to an average
struck from compilation of hundreds I
of reports, WTAM was cut entirely j
on irom its auaience seven limes ,
within a few minutes, and a later!
check-up shows that these few min
utes embraced the period during;
which the shock occurred. This halt-.
ing, or complete cessation of radio-'
casting, was noticeable on radio sets,
situated within a mile of WTAM, in- j
dlcating that distance had nothing!
r An ixritTi f Vi k ettiintlrtTt I
Stations WGBS, New York, took'L
the air shortly after the tremor,
using an experimental wavelength of
345 meters. Cleveland radio fans,
picking up WGBS, heard the an
nouncer say that this was the first
time in history that radio was being
used to check against an earthquake,
and he requested data from all who
j would submit it, saying this would
be relayed immediately to the news
papers. Station WBZ, Springfield, Mass.,
took the air on a special earthquake
mission when numerous telegrams
reached it while it was closed down.
j Cleveland heard the WBZ announcer
fajn!g iuu.1 me snocK Keciutm cen
tered in the New England states,
and heard him give out the points
that seemed to have suffered most.
Station WLS, Chicago, heard of the
tremor, but so far as its announcer
i had any information. Chicago's
northern edge alone felt any signs of
the shock. WOC at Davenport had
felt nothing, nor had WDAF, Kansas
City; WFAA, Dallas; KFI. Los An
geles; KOA, Denver, or KGO, Oak
land, all picked up distinctly in
Cleveland.

Cleveland radio men. are now of
the opinion that a distinctly new
field of tests is opened in radio, and
they assert that here is something
for the natural scientists to explain
and to study, for they were unable to
understant why an earth tremor
shoul cause total cessation of radio
operation. This . cessation, as ob
served in Cleveland, was exactly the
same as though the microphone in
the radiocasting stations had been
shut off for a few seconds, and then
turned on again. From one line to
three lines would thus be eliminated
from reception of songs on the air,
and from three to seven bars of
music from the popular orchestral
numbers.
The earliest opinions advanced
here were to the effect that the shock
undoubtedly caused a disturbance in
the earth-bound waves of sufficient
magnitude to halt all transmission,
or that the shock had itself thrown
out electrons that effectually stifled
those coming from the radiocasting
stations.
They said the significance of the

idea that radio would prove a valu
able factor in future tremor tests
lay in the fact that super-power
stations like WTAM, Cleveland, oper
ating on 1,500 kilowatts and on a
wavelength of 389 meters were com
pletely cut out of the ether tempo
rarily at times.
DECISION LIMITS
JUDICIAL
POWER
Washington, April 20. A supreme
court decision that a disinterested
judge hear contempt of court cases
based on personal reflection of a
judge was hailed here today us a
victory for those opposing the abuse
of judicial power.
The opinion was rendered in the
case of Clay Cooke, attorney of Fort
Worth, Tex., who wrote a letter to
the federal judge there suggesting
that he disqualify himself from pre
siding at certain cases on the ground
of prejudice.
In response the jurist issued an at
tachment against Cooke and his
client, charging them with contempt.
