Great Devastation Wrought The worst storm which has visited Cas county in the past half century, left plenty of evidence in its wake at Manley last Monday evening. It required only fifteen minutes for a million and a quarter dollars worth of crops to be destroyed in Cas3 coun ty, when the hail ruined about one hundred and twenty sections of growing crops, which the patient work of the farmer had created as an estate. The storm, which . originated in the northwest, entered the county at Greenwood and traversed the entire length, making its exit at Rock Bluff, on the Missouri river, and finding in its path Greenwood, Murdock, Man ley. Murray and Rock Bluff, and a strip some four miles in width. Beyond conception was the force which was required to carry this im mense load of ice and water more than a hundred freight trains could carry. At Manley it left a number of houses without roofs and the corn and oat fields beat Into the ground, while the wheat, most of which was In the shock, was threshed out around the exposed edges, and beat ing it into the ground. While the loss is appalling, the farmers with a spirit which seems unbreakable, though it is breaking some financially, are going to re-4 plant their land with the hope that they may be able to raise enough of a crop to tide them over until an other year.

BUS m HAVE NO LIABILITY IN SURANCE NOW Insist that Companies Quote Too High a Rate For Them at Con ference With Commission The bus owners who testified Fri day morning at the conference call ed by the state railway commission raid that they did not carry any lia bility insurance because the rates quoted by the companies are too high. This rate is $300 a car per year for the first $10,000 and $100 a year for the next $10,000. J. II. Shaner of Nebraska City was the lone exception, he carrying $30. 000 on two cars for which he pays $1,025. B. T. Jamieson, part owner of the lire operating between Lincoln and Beatrice, said that they carried a 50,000 policy in the Aetna for three months at a cost of $105 for that period, but that after the company had examined the road and found the busses crossed five or six rail roads the amount was cut to $15,000 and later cancelled because the pro visions were not satisfactory to the insured. He said that all the agents eiuoted the same rate and referred to the same pamphlet. Not all dT them wrote this insurance, but all c gents offered to get it for! them. These policies cover all risks, includ ing liability to passengers for acci dents. . Mr. Jamieson said he had had no recidents in the fifteen months he lias operated, and that the only in surance he carries is compensation which covers the drivers only. Mem lors of the commission pointed out, in ciuestions and statements, the nec essity for some protection to passen gers other than the property or es tate of the owners of the lines. A. R. Rogers, who operates a bus line to and from hotels and depots r.nc! Ipr town hire in Auburn, said he was quoted a rate of $350 a rig a year, and did not take the insurance because it was too high. .He had had ro accidents td passengers, and car ries his own insurance with a cau tion to drivers to be careful. He has four rigs, two of them regulation Lusses. " An insurance man who heard some of the testimony stated to The Jour nal that the companies were not Eiixious for this business even at the rate quoted, because of the great hazard involved. Three hundred dol lars, he said, would be but a drop in the bucket to foot damages in one accident where passengers have the same right of action as when injured nt the hands of any other common carrier. Some twenty bus owners and op erators were present at the hearing. Those who entered an appearance when the case was first called in cluded: A. R. Roges, Auburn only; J. M. McAvoy, Weeping Water to Lincoln; E. II. Chatterton, Weeping Water to Omaha; J. II. and C. W. Shaner, Lincoln to Nebraska City; E. E. Lehmen, York, Columbus and Norfolk; Henry Esser, Weeping Wa ter to Omaha; F. II. Higgins, Ne braska City to Ojmaha; C. E. Hass, Omaha to Fremont; E. H. Peltz, York Grand Island and Hastings; B. T. Jamieson, Beatrice to Lincoln. Oth ers came in later. Mr. Hass is presi dent of their organization. In opening the conference Chair- raa'n Taylor explained that It was treading an unbeaten path, and that the commission had no definite ideas to imnress upon the bus men. It wanted to know their problems, dis cuss safety rules and regulations and talk over the question of liability insurance. State Journal. " 1 Eiliousness and Constipation t .

Facing the fact that their crops as well as the hard work that they put forth in preparing for the sea son's work, had been swept away in the storm of last .Monday night, the farmers in and near Murray, to the number of 150 gathered at the hall in that place to discuss how they could best face the crisis. County Agricultural Agent L. R. Snipes, who has taken a great inter est in the plans of giving the farm ers some relief from their losses, was in charge of the meeting and had with him Prof Burr of the Nebraska state agricultural college, who is an expert on crop plantings and gave the members of the conference the bejiefit of his experience and train ing. The lateness of the season has made the raising of another crop of corn out of the question and the ma jority of the farmers were of the opinion that a" crop of soft feed or hay was all that they could secure from the lands swept by the hail. Prof. Burr explained the points of the different crops suggested, sweet corn, ninety day corn and Kaffir corn were suggested, as well as Su dan grass for pasture and hay and buckwheat for a crop was also dis cussed by the meeting. Many of the old time residents of the territory who had been in this country during the great hail storm of 18S3 offered the benefit of their experience to the gathering and to their remarks the younger farmers took careful note as this storm was of even greater extent than the one of this week. Different members of the party of fered their ideas as to the possibil ities of crops and many urged the planting of millett for a crop for hay and pasture as well as feed and this idea seemed to take with many of the farmers in attendance. The state representative urged the immediate planting of the crop and suggested that the new crop be planted between the rows of corn that had been destroyed to save time but in many cases this will be im possible and the farmers will have to place their new corn or feed crop in as quick as possible and in the manner that their land conditions will permit. It was reported that some seed corn; of the quick matur ing type could be secured at Ne braska City but as to whether this will be" adequate to supply the de mand could not be determined. Everyone of the members of the community present was willing to put in some kind of a crop to save a little of the season's work, if possi ble and to raise feed and pasture for their stock.
