April weather yesterday develop

an exhibition of showers with shall
hailstones sprinkled In. A high
wind also blew during the evening
and in the night a very high gale
swept down on the city from the
northwest. It is reported that a
number of small outbuildings were
overturned and that loose articles
were blown about. The wind in this
Immediate vicinity reached a veloc
ity at times of about sixty miles an
hour regular tornado speed. West
of -the city the wind during the early
part of the evening was very severe
and considerable hail fell. It is not
believed that the local fruit crop was
damaged while the gardens were not
far enough advanced to suffer. The
wind w.i3 general In the night all
over the eastern part of the state and
It is reported that several towns in
the north and northeastern portions
of the state were severely damaged
by the wind. The storm of the early
evening developed Into a small cy
clone north of here and tore through
Sarpy county destroying small out
houses and fences andoverturnln (
houses and fences and overturnlnA
telegraph and telephone poles. At
rtollevue the wind blew down the
smoke stack on the furnace rcom of
the college and hurled It Into one
of the rooms of the girls' domltory.
No one was Injured, however, and the
damage was nominal. It served to
lve the natives a bad scare though.
At Omaha a terrific hail storm took
lace in the early evening and the loss
to hothouses Is said to run well Into
thousands of dollars. Electric signs
were also damaged to some extent.
The midnight storm did damage to
signs, awnings and tbe like in Lin
coln and Omaha, tbe total amount of
which will reach' pretty high Into the
hundreds of dollars.
States of America. In no other conn-
try of the world can so many people,
capable of forming correct Judgment
of men and things, bo found as
in these United States of America. In
no other country of the world can so
many people, earnestly endeavoring
to advance themselves morally, in
tellectually and financially, be found
as In these United States of America.
What brought this condition
The public schools? Yes In art.
But even more tho newspapers
and magazines, of which 23,000 are
published in this country.
What makes the issues of these
publications possible? Advertising.
Without advertising the great ma
jority of newspapers and magazines
would go out of business entirely;
the remainder would be forced to
eliminate their mfost expensive and,
there, most valuable features.
Some one has said that the advertiser
has endowed literature and art in
America. Whosoever said It spoke
wisely, for the statement is true. The
debt owed by America to the adver
tiser Is a great one.
There are some points of Interest
about the United States of America,
also about advertising. In no other
country of the world can an article
of general worth be brought into
universal use so rapidly as in the
United States of America. In no
other country Is it possible for the
purchaser so easily to select the best
and most suitable of articles which he
Is to purchase as here. What makes
this possible? The answer is ad
vertising.
WhenspoBking of the country's great
products they used to say that cotton
was king. Latterly corn wore the
crown.
Some day some wise man with a
strong and healthy Imagination will
compute the amount spent in these
23,000 newspapers and periodicals,
In bill boards, street cars, barn paint
ing, novelties catalogues exhibitions
of all kinds and his figures will as
tonish the world.
Great Is advertising!
