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

hardware dealers in Girard, Pa.

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.
