Near Krider and
Destroys Houses
Three Injured, One Seriously as Fun
nel Shaped Cloud Lifts Build
ings Wires are Down.
Beatrice Neb., Sept. 2. Buildings
on at elast three farms were destroy
ed and much other damage occurred
early tonight when a tornado struck
near Krider. Nebraska, 12 miles south
of here. Three or four people were
injured, one seriously, said reports
reaching here.
At the Earl Colgrove farm, out
buildings were demolished and the
house was lifted into the middle of
the highway. It could not be learn
ed if members of the family were in
the house or had taken refuge else
where. All buildings except the house on
the Harvey Aden farm were demol
ished. A barn was hurled into a
creek.
Every building on Carl Ottorsburg's
farm was leveled to the ground. At
all of these places the family escaped
serious injury, said reports from
Odell, near there. Wires were down,
however, and only incomplete partic
ulars could be obtained up to 8:30
o'clock.
Some horses and live stock were
killed at these and other farms where
less damage occurred.
Hail Storm Terrific
Reports from Diller, Wymore and
Ellis, all in the same general vicinity.
indicated that the funnelshaped
cloud did not descend anywhere ex
cept near Krider, but there was a
heavy storm west of Wymore.
West of Odell, however, a terrific
hail storm occurred, with hail as
large as goose eggs falling, said farm
ers. At Adams, northeast of here, a
heavy rain fell, and near the Blood
good farm, south of Dewitt, which
is northwest of Beatrice, there was
a deli-ge of rain. The stcrm was lim
ited to a good shower here.
Fred Krider. tanner, suffered a
broken arm and his son, George, was
seriously injured when the storm
struck their farm, near the village
of Krider. The house and several
other buildings were destroyed.
Harm Lacey. another farmer, liv
ing near the Krider farm, suffered
injuries of unknown extent when the
twister struck his place, doing much
damage to buildings.
Train is Halted
A Burlington train entering Kri
der was halted by the terrific force
of the gale, and the roof of one
coach was torn off, said an uncon
firmed report from Odell.
On the farm of Harrison Scott, of
Beatrice, located two miles west of
Wymore and north of Krider, the
whirling wind lifted all the build
ings into the air, then dropped them
a mass of wreckage into a dry creek
bed. The Hutchinson family, tenants
on the farm, were away from home.
Harry Lehigh, Charles Falk and a
farmer named Bivens on the place at
the time escaped serious injury. The
horses were left standing unhurt
w-hPTi a barn was lifted from over
heir heads.
At a farm across the road hail and
wind battered out window lights, in
juring a sick boy in his bed, and he
was removed to another home, said
ehigh, who did not know the family's
name, but it is believed it is Phillippi.
KING GEORGE WEARING HIS
TROUSERS CREASED IN FRONT
London, Sept. 2. King George
wears his trousers creased down the
front. For years he has insisted that
his trousers be creased at the side,
as was the custom of his father. King
Edward.
The king began wearing his trous
ers pressed in front during his sum
mer vacation, and there is much
speculation whether he is to con
tinue the custom when he returns
to Buckingham" palace after his
grouse shooting expedition in Scot
land. King George wore also, this sum
mer, a jacket which buttons higher
with three buttons in all. The pock
ets of the monarch's coat are, in the
tailor's language "jetted." or with
no flaps, the poc,ket mouth being
piped. London tailors are inclined
nowdays to give men all the pockets
possible for tickets, small change and
other handy gadgets.

State General
Fund 2 1-2
lion 'In Red'
Robinson Refuses to Comment;
Says Figures Speak for
Themselves.
T-itirnln NTa ffont. 2 Thp
braska state treasury fund today was
i nearly two and a half million dollars
in debt to the state gasoline tax fund,
and a number of other funds, includ-
. ing the temporary trust funds, from
which it has been borrowing to pay
the expenses of the administrative
side of the state government.t chiefly
that operating under the code system.
The code departments are under the
direct responsibility of Governor Mc
Mullen. On August 1, the general fund
owed the gasoline fund a million and
a half dollars. It owed 400 thousand
dollars to other funds, chiefly the
state highway maintenance fund,
which represents the 30 per cent of
the automobile license fees which is
the state's share and which money is
supposed to be used on the roads or
maintenance work. To pay these
debts there was approximately 300
thousand dollars on hand, or about 15
per cent of the indebtedness.
Overpays Eeceipts.
In the treasurer's report for Sep
tember 1, issued today by State
Treasurer Robinson, this three hun
dred thousand dollars is shown to
havp h.-n smpr.t. and annthpr 2fi0
thousand dollars besides, leaving the;
trne-mi fun ?fift thmicnnrl rtniiars "in
general fund 260 thousand dollars in
the red" besides its more than two
million dollar indebtedness to the gas
oline tax fund and other fund3 men
tioned above.
In other words, the treasury is 560
thousand dollars farther behind than
it was on August 1.
Expenditures for the month of
August out of the general fund were
over a million dollars more than re
ceipts. The treasury received 879
thousand dollars during, the month,
and the state departments, chiefly the
code department, spent $1,884,000.
State Treasurer Robinson refused
to make any comment cn the treas
ury's condition. "The figures are
there," he said. "They speak for them
selves. You can draw your own con
clusions." Can't Borrow School Funds.
Some of the funds that the treasury
should now have on hand are as fol
lows: State capitol building fund, $1,
837,253; state gasoline-tux fund, $1,
258.000; state road ' maintainence
fund, approximately four hundred
thousand dollars; temporary trust
funds. S 43 6.978: Dermanent trust
funds, $259,299; general fund deficit,!
$260,730.
There was on hand, to cover all
these funds $2,740,430 or nearly two
million dollars less than enough. But
a quarter million dollars of this total
represents permanent trust funds of
the state, cheifly permanent school
funds which cannot be borrowed to
make up deficiencies in the general
fund, and 436 thousand dollars of it
represents temporary trust funds, in
cluding university funds and the in-
come from the state's ex-service men's
relief fund which there is a good dealt
of doubt that the state can borrow. j
State Accountant Sommer, who,
came to uovernor MCAiunen s rescue
with a statement showing a surplus
in the state treasury, says he has the
right to use the temporary trust
funds, including the ex-service men's
relief funds. Other state officers do
not think so.
More Debt Predicted.
State officials in change of the
finances predicted that the drafts upon
the treasury during September will
exceed the receipts by at least as
much as during August, when a mil
lion more was spent than was collect
ed. Should this prediction come true
the general fund will have swallowed
up not only the entire gasoline taxi
fund of $1,256,000. but the entire!
capitol building found of $1,837,000
as well, leaving the state treasury
more than three million dollars in
debt or in debt for approximately half j
as much as Governor McMullen claims,
to be spending on all state expenses!
for the year. j
This state of affairs which seems
entirely likely to come about byj
October 1, will mean that for every!
dollar the governor spent for state'
salaries and expenses, only 50 cents,
actually came into the treasury, and!
the state owes at the end of the
month for half of the expense of the
last year of his two year term-
TEACHERS CLOSE COURSE
Supt. Charles Speedie for many
years county superintendent of the
Oto county schools, is in the city
today viewing with great interest the

Political Joke is
on Senator Vance
Champion of One-Party Nominations
Finds Himself the Nomineee of
Two Poltical Parties.
Senator R. R. Vance of Hastings,
republican candidate for renomina
tion, is the subject of an election
joke. He was the author of a bill
which became a law two years ago
whose object was to prevent candi
dates filing at the primary election as
a candidate of more than one politi
cal party. Now by the turn of the
wheel Senator Vance finds himself
the nominee of two parties. The old
law which was not disturbed by the
Vance bill permits nomination at the
primary by the writing in of a name.
Senator Vance received two progres
sive party votes. As there were only
six progressive votes cast in the dis
trict he obtained more than the nec
essary 5 per cent of the progressive
vote and is entitled to have his name
on the general election ballott with
a bracket enclosing the names of
two political parties, republican and
progressive.
John O. Schmidt of Wahoo who
was nominated by the republicans
this year in the twenty-fourth repre
sentative district, served in the leg-
islature In 1919 and was then listed
as a democrat.
John A. Singleton, a colored man
of Omaha, defeated Walter B. John-
son, member of the hou3e. The color-
ed man received 16 votes and the
white candidate 702.
W. J. Taylor is the progressive
party nominee for senator in Custer
county. He received five votes. His
name was not printed on the ballot.
