Funeral of Eugene Austin
The funeral services of Eugene
Austin, well known resident of this
vicinity, were held last Friday af
ternoon at the Methodist church in
Union, being largely attended by the
friends and neighbors from the vicin
ity east of town where he lived.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.
W. A. Taylor, assisted by Rev. J. A.
Runnells and interment was in the
East Union cemetery, near where he
had resided for many years, and the
remains of this good man and wife
now rest side by side near where
they worked together during the
years of their life.
The death of Mr. Austin, which
occurred at the hospital in Omaha on
Wednesday of last week, came as the
result of a long siege of poor health,
during which time he was constant
ly under the care of a physician, and
in spite of all that medical skill and
careful attention could do for him,
the patient gradually grew worse un
til death came to his relief and
ended his long suffering.
The deceased was a member of one
of the well known Liberty precinct
families and spent the greater part
of his life in that locality, where he
was well known and highly respect
ed by a large circle of acquaintances.
In recent years he made his home on
the farm east of Union on the King
of Trails highway, which is one of
the best located farms in this vicin
ity. This is the second time within a
period of a few brief months that the
family has been bereaved as the wife
and mother passed away last Novem
ber, and her going hastened the
breaking down of the health of Mr.
Austin and led to his ultimate de
mise. Eugene Austin was born in Mis
souri August 11, 1866, and came to
Cass county when he was a young
man, where he engaged in farming.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Stella M. Chillcott at Union, who
passed away at the home near here
last winter. He was one of the best
known men of the community and
was held in high esteem by all. He
was a member of the Methodist Epis
copal church at Union.
Mr. Austin is survived by two sons,
Roy Austin, of Bloomington, Calif.,
and Sherman Austin, of Union; also
three daughters, Mrs. Oeta Welch
and Mrs. Mary Applegate, of Omaha,
and Miss Addle Austin, 'of Union.
Two brothers, one sister and a half
sister also survive.

Split Definitely

Political Washington Speculates on

Probable Fate of Two Since
Farm Relief Split.
Washington, June 14. The split
between President Coolidge and Vice
President Dawes over farm legisla
tion reached a point Sunday that
caused all political Washington to
accept It as a definite parting of the
ways and to wonder where the prin
cipals to the controversy will land.
By assuming the leadership of the
firhf fnr fha T-TflltcrnYl Kill fln-n nrl 1
mere is n(
for federal farm aid. Many politicians
are of the opinion that .the revolt
against the administration may reach
such proportions by 1928 that Mr.
Coolidge may not enter a contest for
renomination.
Sir Jcsiah's Views Upheld.
Washington is chuckling over the
strange bedfellows with whom
Dawes' espousal of the Haugen bill
cast him. The strangest of these is
Sir Josiah Stamp, eminent British
economist, who is generally credited
with winning the general's approval
of the equalization principle of the
Haugen bill.
It was recalled Sunday that Sir
Josiah was roundly rebuked by the
presidential spokesman last summer
for suggesting that America should
reduce the tariff rates in order to
make it easier European powers to
pay off their war debts to the United
States.
The president, in a blunt rejoinder,
made plain his belief that the United
States knew 'best how to take care
of. the interests of this country and
would continue to administer and leg
islate on domestic matters without
any advice from foreigners.
Farm Fight Near Close
Washington, June 14. With a
final vote only a few days off, lead
ers of the two sides in the senate
fight on the McNary farm bill are
prepared to make the most of the
final stages of the debate.
Only one full day of discussion -remains
as limitation of debate begins
on Tuesday with a roll call expected
Wednesday or Thursday. Opponents
plan to continue their assault on the
bill with counter proposals, while pro
ponents are ready with new appeals
to the southern democrats to Join the
western group and save the legisla
tion. Managers of the measure freely ad
mit that it is doomed unless senators
from the cotton states come to its
aid. The democrats, however, fear
that their support might put them
in position of indorsing a protective
tariff, and under the direction of
Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan
sas, their floor leader, they plan to
urge a general reduction of the tariff
to relieve the farmers.

Outbuildings and Trees Are Destroyed
Roofs and Porches Sail Before
Wind Heavy Rain Falls.
Steinauer, Neb., June 13. A small
tornado swept thru Steinauer about
4:30 p. m. Sunday and damaged to
some extent practically every resi
dence and business building in town.
paralyzed wire communication and
put all power lines out of commission
Roofs and porches were torn from al
most every house in the path of the
storm, outbuildings were tumbled
about and many business buildings
lost all or part of their roofs. No
Jone was injured as far as could be
learned late Sunday night.
In addition to an inch and a quar
ter, of rain during the forenoon, an
other terrific rain followed the twis
ter and it was estimated that more
than an inch and a quarter of water
fell ji a very short time. Roads are
badly washed and creeks are all run
ning bank full. Streets were littered
tonight with debris and fallen trees.
The storm had every appearance
of the larger tornadoes and swept
down upon the town in two whirl
ing masses which seemed to meet
when they had reached the out
skirts. With crippled wire service it
was impossible to secure accurate re
ports as to the extent of the path of
the storm, but it believed that it did
not run far in either direction from
the town. The storm moved generally
from the northwest to southeast.
Buildings on the farm of Ernest
Steinauer, a mile west of the city,
were slightly damaged, but this was
the only damage ascertained out side
of the town.
Two large barns in the west part
of town were totally destroyed when
the storm struck. The. buildings were
owned by M. A. Steinauer and Joe
Wenzl. The rear of the residence be
longing to Mrs. A. Sacher was badly
damaged when a large tree was hurl-
The sheet metal roof was torn
ed down upon it. I
from the bank of Steinauer building
and the roof was torn from the Ar
thur Bentsinger general store. The
entire Bentsinger stock was practic
ally destroyed by the rain which beat
down upon il when the wind had
passed. Water stood several inches
deep on the floor of the building when
the storm had ceased. j
A large tree was blown thru a
window in the Steinauer hotel and
the chimneys and porches were
torn from the telephone office. Few
porches remained on houses in the
path of the storm and chimneys were I
rare.
The front porch and part of the
shingled roof were torn from the
Frank Morris residence. The porches
wert blown from the Charles Schroff,
William Klein and Mrs. N. C. Stein
auer homes. The Frank Conrad resi
dence also lost its porch and part of
its roof.
The storm struck at a time when
few people were at home in town.
Many were on drives in the country
and it was believed that this saved
many injuries.
4.41 Inches of
Rain in Hour at
Rockford, 111.
Business District Flooded; Water
Runs Eight Feet Deep in
Some Streets.
Rockford, 111., June 13. Hit by a
4.41 inch rainfall in an hour and
a half this afternoon, Rockford is
experiencing the worst flood in 36
years. The damage is likely to amount
to several hundred thousand dollars.
Although hundreds of the homes
were marooned and a number of
bridges were swept away, no loss of
life has been reported. Rockford to
night is virtually cut off, except on
the south side. ;
Flood streams from Keith creek
have inundated a large part of the
southeast area of the city
Probably
five hundred homes were flooded in
that section. The rise of the water
was so rapid that many persons were
forced to flee for their lives. '
In several streets never before
touched by flood, the water is flowing
four feet deep tonight. In other
thoroughfares in that locality, the
water is eight feet deep. Factory
buildings were damaged and many
tocks of lumber were swept away. j
Hundred of families were still on
the second floors of the homes to-j
night waiting rescue by the fire de
partment, members of the canoe club
and other volunteers with boats and'
rafts. Men and boys donned bathing
suits and aided the flood prisoners.

That's How. Retired Rock

Says He Feels Since
Taking This Remarka
ble Medicine.
"Karnak fixed me up so fine I
don't spend a. cent for medicine any
more in fact, I tell 'em I'm eighty
years younpr now," pays John
Cluen, Iowa Hotel, Des Moines, re
tired Rock Island R. R. engineer,
who for 20 years pulled the "fast
mail" between Des Moines and
Omaha.
"Yes, sir, way back last summer
Karnak rid me of stomach trouble,
biliousness, gas bloating, constipa
tion, nervousness and a rundown
condition that kept me feeling as
weak as a kitten all the time.
"Why, six bottles of the medi

a trace of trouble since. I just feel
it my duty to tell others of Kar

V
Kearney has a "City Beautiful As
sociation. Recently the association
decided that more street lights were
needed. Accordingly a committee of
three, one lady, called on the city
council and convinced that body
that more illumination was neces
sary. The city board instructed the
electric company to install street
lamps with increased wattage and
now everybody is satisfied, except
that a few people in t'-e edge of the
city are clamoring for extension.
Central City buys electric current
at wholesale from a transmission line
and retails it at a profit that created
110,000 of unneeded money in the
electric fund. The people recently
voted to transfer that "profit" to
the general fund and the money will
be used in repairing and refurnish
ing the city hall.
Sixty years ago a sod building was
erected at Bridgeport. It was used
as a home and as a stable. Now it
is being occupied as a garage and
is, probably, the only sod garage in
the nation. The significant feature
of the installed equipment is elec
tric light and power.
The village of Horace, in Greeley
county, will have electric service by
building a transmission line to con
nect with the one that runs from
Greeley to Scotia and which gets its
energy from the hydro-electric plant
at Cedar Rapids.
Central City is the only Nebraska
town to get a postoffice building out
of the bill passed by congress ap
propriating $165,000,000 for public
buildings.
At the recent city election at Mc
Cook the candidates of the munici
pal league party were defeated, thus
changing the policy of the former ad
ministration. The municipal electric plant at
Fremont offers a discount to firms
using 7,500 kwh. of energy if used

and seven in the morning.

Would Make
Scenes of Auto
Wrecks Warning
Plan to Erect Large White, Crosses at
Places Where Accidents Have
Occurred on Highways.
There is a movement originating at
Falls City to have erected at the
scenes of fatal auto accidents, large
white crosses that will serve as a
warning to other travelers on the
highway to avoid similar accidents by
the use of caution and care in driv
ing and making turns or going over
the railroad crossings.
Near Falls City a white cross will
be placed where Otto Nielson. secre
tary of the Omaha Elks lodge, was
killed two weeks ago while enroute
home from the state convention of the
order at Falls City and this cross
it is hoped will stand as a monument
to warn others of the dangers that
lurk along the highway for the travel
er who fails to go at a moderate rate
of speed or menaces others with their
reckless driving.
This idea is no a bad one and
should be followed by other commun
ities in placing these markers where
they can stand as a living warntir
of the danger that is always preselK
on the highway.
In this vicinity the' scene of the'
railway crossing tragedy near Oreapo
iis as well as the fatal accident a mile
east of Union should have markers!
that will show to others the cause of .
the accident that, if the traveler oh
the highway is wise, they may avoid!
