"BUSTER BROWN" LOW CUTS for Bojs and Girls! SHERWOOD & SON On id i nil CflDH3 The Damages Not So Appeal to People Reports from Louisville are to the ef fect that rebuilding operations were un der way yesterday morning. Many people found employment in the re moval of wreckage. During the after noon a light shower fell, and this called forcibly to the minds of many the needs for more permanent homes than they possessed. Some families were living in the uni'oofed and damaged houses. Others had no homes and their care was a real problem that the citizens of the town were called upon to solve. The family of Joe Line, with husband and wife both seriously hurt, was left without a dollar's worth of property. A number of other families were in little better condition. L. J. Mayfield, who made a careful estimate of the loss involved, said that $55,000 was a low estimate, and that this blow would fall heaviest on those least able to stand it. The report that the Missouri Pacific bridge across the river here had been wrecked grew out of the wreckage of the old wagon bridge which parallels the railroad bridge. The wreckage from this bridge covered a portion of the railroad bridge and caused many to believe that the latter structure had been seriously damaged. Eighteen dwellings were destroyed, the storm leaving nothing of them but kindling wood. As many more were damaged, some considerably and others escaping with minor loss. The Burling ton depot, pump house, semaphore tower, a small mill, a small elevator, the Bank of Commerce and Odd Fellows hall building, a livery barn and two store buildings were badly wrecked. The Property Loss. Business men differ in estimates of damage done, some being certain that the loss is no more than forty thousand dollars, while others declare it will reach sixty-five thousand dollars. The best estimates seem to be fifty-five thousand dollars. In some of the esti mates buildings are counted as total loss that can be repaired and much sal vage claimed. The heaviest individual loser is the Burlington railroad, whose loss is esti mated at between four and five thou sand dollars. The Bank of Commerce and Odd Fellows building, while figured in estimates as a total loss can be re paired at much less than its original cost of five thousand dollars. The Odd Fellows own the upper story of this building. The heaviest loss is not in the busi ness section of the town, although sev eral business houses were badly dam aged. The total is swelled in the resi dence section, where homes were swept away from their foundations, twisted out of shape, reduced to kindling wood and barns were demolished. Windmill towers were torn down, some live stock was killed, and shade trees and orch ards were destroyed. Riverview park, a large natural grove, north of the Burlington main line, is a scene of ruin. Large trees were torn up by the roots, other stems standing high in the air denuded of branches, and in some instances trees were twisted off near the base. So closely packed is the debris in this park that it is impossible in places to get through. Many of the trees were older than the oldest inhab itant and the loss of this pleasure and picnic ground ie keenly felt by the resi dents. More Antics of the Tornado. Charles Bryant, who has charge of the semaphore station at the railroad crossing, saw the storm coming, set his semaphores at "danger" and ran for a nearby bridge. "As I disappeared un der the abutment," he said, "the whole town seemed to be coming my way." One of the sights at Louisville won dered at by the hundreds who come here from surrounding towns, was the Free Methodist church building. This is a new structure. It stood in the east part of town where very little damage was done. It was raised from the foun dation and dropped down on its roof. It still lies in that position. Nearby in a small frame shed that might be expected to collapse in an ordinary wind. It still stands. Between the Louisville denot and the 'pump house is a small coal shed. It is Great as First Reported of Nebraska for Aid. frail and its timbers rotten. The depot was destroyed. The pump house, bolted to a concrete foundation with inch and quarter bolts, was wrecked, not a piece of its timbers being left on the founda tion. The coal house was not damaged. Editor Mayfield of the Courier had two barns near each other. One was covered by tornado insurance and one was not. The storm took the barn that was insured. A few days before the storm a widow woman who owned a cottage in the east half of town took out tornado insurance on her home. It was wrecked. It was said these were the only two tornado insurance policies in force on damaged property. Section Foreman Anderson was in the depot when the storm approached. He got outside of the building. There was no shelter and he dropped flat on the ground and clung to a telegraph pole. The pole was snapped off by the wind two feet from the ground. He escaped unhurt except a few flesh wounds on his hands where timbers struck him. Makes Appeal for Aid. The commercial club met and au thor- ized the following appeal to be made for aid: "To the people of Nebraska: We, the committee appointed by the Louisville Commercial club appeal to you for aid in behalf of the people of Louisville who suffered from the cyclone which swept through our town on Tuesday afternoon leaving a number of our people desti tute and homeless. Ten thousand dollars will be needed at once to provide these people with provisions, clothing and furniture to enable them to again care for themselves. All remittances should be made to George Frater, treasurer of the Commercial club, Louisville, Neb. Signed: L. J. Mayfield, N. W. Gaines, W. A. Cleghorn, Committee." Damage at Bellevue. The town of Bellevue was literally swept by wind and rain and only a very few buildings in that picturesque old village escaped injury. Buildings homes and stores were unroofed, or caved in and filled with water. The col lege buildings were badly damaged, Clarke hall, the main structure, being unroofed, as was also the president's residence. The fact that more lives were not lost is regarded as all but miraculous. College campus and town streets and lots are strewn with fragments of de struction. These were injured: James McKiernan, badly bruised, blown across crosstree of telephone pole. Margaret McKiernan, cut and bruised. Clara Maree, seriously hurt, scalp wound. Mrs. L. N. Purcell, internal injuries and bruises. Edward Stepp, badly hurt. Raymond Stepp, badly hurt. Archie Wright, buried under falling walls, cut and bruised. The main damage at the college con sisted of the loss of the roof and tower of Clarke hall, the roofs of Lowrie hall and President Wadsworth's house, the demolition of the barn and several out houses, the smashing of innumerable window panes and the interior of the building damaged by rain. The town, which lies on a plateau, below the college hill and above the river and Burlington tracks, suffered great damage in the southern part. A number of new, unoccupied houses and also some barns and residences were to tal losses, and about forty other build ings were partially destroyed. At Fort Crook. At Fort Crook five hundred soldiers were engaged yesterday in clearing away the debris in the fort, at Crook town and at Bellevue, all three of which places were wrecked in the tor nado. While the men were working the military band was playing merrily away in the dilapidated band stand on the parade ground, the music easily being heard in all three of the stricken towns. Soldiers were patrolling at both Bellevue and Crooktown and army of ficers were in command of the situation. Mrs. Narco, reported killed, is not dead. She is seriously injured. Mrs. L. N. Purcell is desperately injured. Etta Fillmore, cut about the body and heal by bricks and flying timbers. Edward and Ray Stepp were both badly hurt, the house collapsed on them. Archie Wright, at Bellevuc, was in his store when the tornado struck. He was buried beneath the walls, but was latepdugout by the rescuers. He is badly injured. The Bellevue Presbyterian church. the oldest religious structure in Ne braska was was wrecked. Mrs. Margaret McKiernan and two children were among the injured in Bellevue. Between Bellevue and Fort Crook the loss is severe. A number of houses there are total wrecks. Mr. Chas. Cook, Plattsmouth, Neb. Deak Sin: We suspect you would like the tale, how a woman beat two hardware dealers in Girard, Pa. We tried our best to get those men to sell Devoe lead-ar.d-zinc in that bright town; and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs. E. R. Bowman druggist. They said they couldn't sell paint for more than $1.25 a gallon. Mrs. Bow man can. She has sold about all the paint that has been sold there since. She knew Devoe; has sold ourartists' materials. Had some sense and force, besides; she easily learned that cheap is dear in paint, and told the people. Mr. Burt Young bought a gallon of Devoe for rooms that had always taken a gallon of other paint; had half left. Mr. E. II. Hiler, jeweler, painted De voe, and says it goe3 further no parti culars. Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought it expensive before he bought it; brought back nearly half of his paint, and said it was the cheapest job he ever had. Mrs. Bowman reports universal satis faction. So much for a cheap-paint town with a bright woman in it. F. W. Devoe & Co., New York, Chicago and Kansas City. P. S. A. L. Asemissen & Son sells our paint. A Message from Governor Sheldon. Governor George L. Sheldon, who is on his way from the west to Washing ton, D. C, arrived at Baltimore, Md., this morning, and reading about the disastrous cyclone of last evening, hastening to see to the welfare of the citizens of the great state of which he is the governor, telegraphed to the chairman of the board of county com missioners as follows: "If tornado suf ferers need tenting or patrol, call on adjutant general. Signed G. L. Shel don." The message was addressed to the chairman of the county board, which is Mr. L. D. Switzer, and as he was at Avoca was received at the coun ty clerk's office.
