J17-4W Funeral of Eugene Austin The funeral services of Eugene Austin, well known resident of this vicinity, were held last Friday af ternoon at the Methodist church in Union, being largely attended by the friends and neighbors from the vicin ity east of town where he lived. The funeral was conducted by Rev. W. A. Taylor, assisted by Rev. J. A. Runnells and interment was in the East Union cemetery, near where he had resided for many years, and the remains of this good man and wife now rest side by side near where they worked together during the years of their life. The death of Mr. Austin, which occurred at the hospital in Omaha on Wednesday of last week, came as the result of a long siege of poor health, during which time he was constant ly under the care of a physician, and in spite of all that medical skill and careful attention could do for him, the patient gradually grew worse un til death came to his relief and ended his long suffering. The deceased was a member of one of the well known Liberty precinct families and spent the greater part of his life in that locality, where he was well known and highly respect ed by a large circle of acquaintances. In recent years he made his home on the farm east of Union on the King of Trails highway, which is one of the best located farms in this vicin ity. This is the second time within a period of a few brief months that the family has been bereaved as the wife and mother passed away last Novem ber, and her going hastened the breaking down of the health of Mr. Austin and led to his ultimate de mise. Eugene Austin was born in Mis souri August 11, 1866, and came to Cass county when he was a young man, where he engaged in farming. He was united in marriage to Miss Stella M. Chillcott at Union, who passed away at the home near here last winter. He was one of the best known men of the community and was held in high esteem by all. He was a member of the Methodist Epis copal church at Union. Mr. Austin is survived by two sons, Roy Austin, of Bloomington, Calif., and Sherman Austin, of Union; also three daughters, Mrs. Oeta Welch and Mrs. Mary Applegate, of Omaha, and Miss Addle Austin, 'of Union. Two brothers, one sister and a half sister also survive. WANT TO- SELL YOXTR FARM ? If you want to1 sell your farm,, an auction properly conducted by experi enced salesmen will do it.

Washington, June 14. The split between President Coolidge and Vice President Dawes over farm legisla tion reached a point Sunday that caused all political Washington to accept It as a definite parting of the ways and to wonder where the prin cipals to the controversy will land. By assuming the leadership of the firhf fnr fha T-TflltcrnYl Kill fln-n nrl 1 mere is n( for federal farm aid. Many politicians are of the opinion that .the revolt against the administration may reach such proportions by 1928 that Mr. Coolidge may not enter a contest for renomination. Sir Jcsiah's Views Upheld. Washington is chuckling over the strange bedfellows with whom Dawes' espousal of the Haugen bill cast him. The strangest of these is Sir Josiah Stamp, eminent British economist, who is generally credited with winning the general's approval of the equalization principle of the Haugen bill. It was recalled Sunday that Sir Josiah was roundly rebuked by the presidential spokesman last summer for suggesting that America should reduce the tariff rates in order to make it easier European powers to pay off their war debts to the United States. The president, in a blunt rejoinder, made plain his belief that the United States knew 'best how to take care of. the interests of this country and would continue to administer and leg islate on domestic matters without any advice from foreigners. Farm Fight Near Close Washington, June 14. With a final vote only a few days off, lead ers of the two sides in the senate fight on the McNary farm bill are prepared to make the most of the final stages of the debate. Only one full day of discussion -remains as limitation of debate begins on Tuesday with a roll call expected Wednesday or Thursday. Opponents plan to continue their assault on the bill with counter proposals, while pro ponents are ready with new appeals to the southern democrats to Join the western group and save the legisla tion. Managers of the measure freely ad mit that it is doomed unless senators from the cotton states come to its aid. The democrats, however, fear that their support might put them in position of indorsing a protective tariff, and under the direction of Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan sas, their floor leader, they plan to urge a general reduction of the tariff to relieve the farmers.

A small tornado swept thru Steinauer about 4:30 p. m. Sunday and damaged to some extent practically every resi dence and business building in town. paralyzed wire communication and put all power lines out of commission Roofs and porches were torn from al most every house in the path of the storm, outbuildings were tumbled about and many business buildings lost all or part of their roofs. No Jone was injured as far as could be learned late Sunday night. In addition to an inch and a quar ter, of rain during the forenoon, an other terrific rain followed the twis ter and it was estimated that more than an inch and a quarter of water fell ji a very short time. Roads are badly washed and creeks are all run ning bank full. Streets were littered tonight with debris and fallen trees. The storm had every appearance of the larger tornadoes and swept down upon the town in two whirl ing masses which seemed to meet when they had reached the out skirts. With crippled wire service it was impossible to secure accurate re ports as to the extent of the path of the storm, but it believed that it did not run far in either direction from the town. The storm moved generally from the northwest to southeast. Buildings on the farm of Ernest Steinauer, a mile west of the city, were slightly damaged, but this was the only damage ascertained out side of the town. Two large barns in the west part of town were totally destroyed when the storm struck. The. buildings were owned by M. A. Steinauer and Joe Wenzl. The rear of the residence be longing to Mrs. A. Sacher was badly damaged when a large tree was hurl- The sheet metal roof was torn ed down upon it. I from the bank of Steinauer building and the roof was torn from the Ar thur Bentsinger general store. The entire Bentsinger stock was practic ally destroyed by the rain which beat down upon il when the wind had passed. Water stood several inches deep on the floor of the building when the storm had ceased. j A large tree was blown thru a window in the Steinauer hotel and the chimneys and porches were torn from the telephone office. Few porches remained on houses in the path of the storm and chimneys were I rare. The front porch and part of the shingled roof were torn from the Frank Morris residence. The porches wert blown from the Charles Schroff, William Klein and Mrs. N. C. Stein auer homes. The Frank Conrad resi dence also lost its porch and part of its roof. The storm struck at a time when few people were at home in town. Many were on drives in the country and it was believed that this saved many injuries. 4.41 Inches of Rain in Hour at Rockford, 111. Business District Flooded; Water Runs Eight Feet Deep in Some Streets. Rockford, 111., June 13. Hit by a 4.41 inch rainfall in an hour and a half this afternoon, Rockford is experiencing the worst flood in 36 years. The damage is likely to amount to several hundred thousand dollars. Although hundreds of the homes were marooned and a number of bridges were swept away, no loss of life has been reported. Rockford to night is virtually cut off, except on the south side. ; Flood streams from Keith creek have inundated a large part of the southeast area of the city Probably five hundred homes were flooded in that section. The rise of the water was so rapid that many persons were forced to flee for their lives. ' In several streets never before touched by flood, the water is flowing four feet deep tonight. In other thoroughfares in that locality, the water is eight feet deep. Factory buildings were damaged and many tocks of lumber were swept away. j Hundred of families were still on the second floors of the homes to-j night waiting rescue by the fire de partment, members of the canoe club and other volunteers with boats and' rafts. Men and boys donned bathing suits and aided the flood prisoners. CHRIST ALIVE IN THE HIMALAYAS, IS CLAIMED London, June 14.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES V Kearney has a "City Beautiful As sociation. Recently the association decided that more street lights were needed. Accordingly a committee of three, one lady, called on the city council and convinced that body that more illumination was neces sary. The city board instructed the electric company to install street lamps with increased wattage and now everybody is satisfied, except that a few people in t'-e edge of the city are clamoring for extension. Central City buys electric current at wholesale from a transmission line and retails it at a profit that created 110,000 of unneeded money in the electric fund. The people recently voted to transfer that "profit" to the general fund and the money will be used in repairing and refurnish ing the city hall. Sixty years ago a sod building was erected at Bridgeport. It was used as a home and as a stable. Now it is being occupied as a garage and is, probably, the only sod garage in the nation. The significant feature of the installed equipment is elec tric light and power. The village of Horace, in Greeley county, will have electric service by building a transmission line to con nect with the one that runs from Greeley to Scotia and which gets its energy from the hydro-electric plant at Cedar Rapids. Central City is the only Nebraska town to get a postoffice building out of the bill passed by congress ap propriating $165,000,000 for public buildings. At the recent city election at Mc Cook the candidates of the munici pal league party were defeated, thus changing the policy of the former ad ministration.

Would Make Scenes of Auto Wrecks Warning Plan to Erect Large White, Crosses at Places Where Accidents Have Occurred on Highways. There is a movement originating at Falls City to have erected at the scenes of fatal auto accidents, large white crosses that will serve as a warning to other travelers on the highway to avoid similar accidents by the use of caution and care in driv ing and making turns or going over the railroad crossings. Near Falls City a white cross will be placed where Otto Nielson. secre tary of the Omaha Elks lodge, was killed two weeks ago while enroute home from the state convention of the order at Falls City and this cross it is hoped will stand as a monument to warn others of the dangers that lurk along the highway for the travel er who fails to go at a moderate rate of speed or menaces others with their reckless driving. This idea is no a bad one and should be followed by other commun ities in placing these markers where they can stand as a living warntir of the danger that is always preselK on the highway. In this vicinity the' scene of the' railway crossing tragedy near Oreapo iis as well as the fatal accident a mile east of Union should have markers! that will show to others the cause of . the accident that, if the traveler oh the highway is wise, they may avoid! repetition of the accidents. j Phone your Want Ads to No. 6. i
