One of the Worst Storms in Years in Northwestern Nebraska Here Saturday THREE PEOPLE FOUND FROZEN Many Hurt in Colorado Wreck. Pueblo, i'oIo.. pril 16.- Many per sons were injured when train No. 2o7. t Rock aland line, was wrecked at Cuba, a small nag station eleven miles north of here 'the ;la coach was piled In a ditch and a Pullman ear partially left the track. A broken angle bar on a blind switch caused the accident. La sH Saturday noon saw the be ginning of one of the worst storms that has ever been known in thia part of the country. It began with a high wind which was Quickly fol lowed by a blinding snow. The storm reached Its height about the middle of the afternoon. It Is re ported that the wind reached a velocity of forty miles per hour. Awnings and signs were blown down and three large plate glass windows were broken, one In the Stuckey millinery store, one in Hoi steti's drug store and one in the McOorkle block. Three lives were lost during the storm. Mrs. Dick Path and little son living north of Hemlngford were frozen to death, as was also Chris Bones southeast of this city. Mr. Path had been to Alliance to make final proof on his land and up on returning to Hemlngford Satur day afternoon, phoned to his ranch. He was answered by his little girl who told him that the mother and the son had gone out to look for the horses and had not yet returned. He at once, accompanied by sever al other men, left for his home. A search was made for the mother and son but it was not until the next day that they were found. Mrs. Path was found about sixty yarda from the house frozen to death and the hoy was found about three-quarters of a mile from the ranch. He was also dead. The death of Chris Boness is a mystery to many. He was a strong man and, although the blinding storm was raging, the weather was not extremely old Saturday after noon when he left town and started for home. He was found out on the prairte under his wagon, having ui hitched his horses and turned thent around and tied them to the wagon. Mr. lioness was a drinking man and it is said that while in town Satur day he had been drinking more th.m usual. We have never heard of him drinking so much that he could not take care of himself but it is believed that in the storm the li quor added to his confusion and pre vented him from realizing fully the danger of stopping out on the prair ie in the storm PRIMARY DAY TOMORROW A Few Final Suggestions to Voters in Regard to Candidates to Be Nominated PREFER REAL PROGRESSIVES ers BUg- Kol-as CROMER-KENDALL At the residence of Mr. and Mrs T.

I'red Mollring. ex-county treasur . r. i now writing alt klnda of in nana ra ami la ofttUng wtth, the Nl son Kielcher lusurallie Colupanv It-ttMSH Tomorrow Nebraka voters will have the opportunity of nominating candidates for state and county of fices and expressing their preference Mi candidates for United States sen ior and president. Outside of O tttaha, South Omaha and Lincoln, the ptolls will open at noon and remain Open till 9 p.m. There is a great contest on In both poltlcal parties between real progressives, that 1s, those who stand for the right of the people, in hiding the common herd, ami those who are properly termed the reactionaries who will bo expected to favor to a greater or less extent the favored few known as the "spc tlal interests." Wo wish to give the following suggestions as to candidates whJOh may be helpful to some of our read who may slit! be In doubt: Republican Candidates t)n the republican shle we Rest the following: For president, Robert. M. I a rlette. with Theodore Roosevelt aw mm ciioiee. For United States senotor, (leorge W., Noirls. Democratic Candidates The greatest Interest this year seems to be In the democratic ranks. There is no doubt but that a large majority of the democratic voters of Nebraska favor progressive princi ples but they are put to a disadvant age this year by being divided a niong several candidates, while the reaetionary element a concentrating its vote upon one candidate for pres ident, .ludson Harmon. ,v Champ (Mark and Wood row Wil son will receive the entire support Of progressive democrats who are not misled by side laeoei that have 1 H raised by the friends of the re actionary candidate. Kither Clark or W ilson is acceptable to us, but be lieving that Clark stands the better show of defeating the reactionary candidate, w e shall ( ast our vote for him and advise others to do the same. For Halted State! senator, The Herald lias be. a supporting Willis B. Reed, believing him to be an lion est man and well qualified. If the republicans nominate Senator Iliown and President TaTt and If the pro prtMivea In the democratic party win in Nebraska, we believe that the democratic candidate for U. S. senator will be elected. On the oth er hand. If the republicans nominate Nonis for C. S. senator and LO Fol letti or Roosevelt for president, and the democrats should unfortunately nominate the reactionary candidates for governor and president, then that might as well not make anv for U. S. senator and orticers In Nebraska, nor. The Herald Is for Metcalfe, oi eouraa. lie ht the progressive candidale and ought io be nominated. Mr. More bead, the banker who Is running against Mr. Metcalfe, is no doubt a nice man, personally, and a good neighbor, but he represents the re actionary element in the state, and may be expected to favor the ana clal inicrsts that are giving him their support. Metcalfe repres. n;s the progressive sentiment ajf the day and can come nearer carrying the state next November than More head.
