Trrca Either rprootod or rancne mm Off I f II very Wagons and Billboards Overturned Shingles Blows OfWater Come Down In Sheet. Lincoln, Neb., May 13. Yesterday afternoon Lincoln presented a torn-up appearance. Portions of trees and other sorts of debris were scattered along the streets, while here and there an upturned delivery wagon or buggy dotted the pavements. Several build ings were overturned while others had shingles blown off. Most of the bill boards in the city were either blown down or damaged to a greater or less extent. Awnings, especially those on the east and north sides of streets, were torn from their fastening. All this was caused by a very severe wind and rain storm which struck the city from the southwest about 4 o'clock. For three hours clouds gathered in the west and south and continued to gath in force till 4, at which time it came, gently at first, but increasing in force until it had attained a velocity of 80 miles per hour. A heavy ram came with the wind, accompanied by very little hail, The following is a list of the injured: Mrs. Abbott, ankle badly sprained. MrsTttoore of Ninth street, between Park and Munger, head hurt and one arm broken. J. Jacobson, hackman, cut on head and arm by flying glass. A. L. Woodward, 2035 P street, leg hurt below knee. ' The storm lasted fully ten minutes and did considerable damage, which is only partially mentioned below: Seventy nine cars were blown over in the Burlington yards. Out at the asylum the wind tore away the roof of ,the dynamo building and flooded all the electrical machinery. Ihe iron roof was hurled 1,000 feet away, and iron rafters scattered in all directions. Large trees in the beautiful grove were broken as pipestems. Superin tendent Abbott says the damage will run up into thousands. At Lincoln park the new amphithea ter was partially overturned and the roof blown off. The Catholic mission at First and E was blown over and at Eighth and B the house of Wm. Lansing was blown to the ground, but the family escaped without injury. The court house and several of the university buildings lost a portion of their slate shingles. At Tenth and 0 a stranger was lift ed from his feet and thrown to the pavement. He put his arms around a telephone pole, however, and held on for 4ear life, escaping with no more serious an injury than a thorough wet ting. William Wellman had an exciting ex perience west of the city on the flats where the Salt creek ditch crosses the road. He was in a wagon cceiingto town when the storm struck him, and he got out of his wagon to help a little girl who was lying fiat in the road, un able to rise for the wind. Just then a fearful gust of wind took him off his feet and hurled him down the embank ment into a shallow pond of water, where he had to lie until the wind sub sided. When the worst of the storm was over he got up and found his team had run away, leaving his wagon a wreck. He carried the little girl to the first house he came to and where her father found her later. A velocity of eighty miles an hour mean a pressure of thirty-two pounds to the square foot exposed, and is what is called a hurricane. This velocity was maintained for five minutes, but a velocity of sixty miles was maintained for twenty minutes. Only twice before has a velocity of eighty miles an hour been reached in Lincoln, during the past six years, once in in March 1803, and once in June 1894. The precipitation was about 2. IS. MURDER TRIAL BEGINS. G. A. forte on Trial For His Life at Spring-view. Spbingvtew, Neb., May 13. The G. A.

The "sur face cock" of the engine attached to a special train conveying General Manager Holdrege of the Burlington to the Black Hills, blew out between Hyannis and Whitman yesterday afternoon. The Fireman, B. L. Har ris, was probably fatally scalded and injured. He was blown from the en gine by the explosion and was later picked up by some section men and taken to Whitman. Engineer Corn wall was badly scalded, but remained with the engine. The locomotive could not be stopped and it ran at a terrific rate of speed for three miles before it "died." She Prevented Bloodshed. Falls City, Neb., May 13. Mary Carr, a blooming widow of thirty-eight who resides near the creamery, is so fortunate as to have two lovers, Theo dore Defew and John Brannan, who was formerly her husband. Chance brought them together at her house yesterday afternoon. They quarrelled, naturally, and the reason why Defew is not dead and Brannan not a mur derer, is because Mary hit the latter's hand and the bullet imbedded Itself In the ceiling instead of in Defew. The parties were arrested and were bound over for trial. Low Special Mention "NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT." Populists .Marching on. Mr. Parsons, member of the national committee, writes from the eastern part of Oregon thus: "The campaign now has progressed so far that we caubegin to reckon where "we are at." In this county we will elect our joint senator, three representatives and our lull county ticket. Two years ago we polled 1234 votes. The republicans 1550, and dem ocrats 800. We are making steady in roads upon the enemy and according to the precincts polled we have gained suf ficient to give us a clear plurality. In every county m eastern uregon a line condition exists and 1 believe we will carry nine out 01 every twelve counties in the eastern section ol the state, in western Oregon our affairs look very promising and we will make great gains there. Portland has been our chief stum bling block in the past giving 5,000 le publican majority. This year all is changed there. The republicans are di vided into two nearly equal factions- Mitchell and anti-Mitchell, with hostile city and county tickets in the field. This insures the election of ex-Governor fen- noyer as Mayor 01 rortiana. tiis elec tion will almost certainly carry witn it the election of populist city and county tickets and means the control of the next legislature and a populist United States senator." NEBRASKA'S SOLDIERS HOME. It is Better Supplied and Mora Cheaply Maintained Than over Before. Grand Island, Nebk., May 1,1896. Special to the Nebraska Independent: Reaching Grand Island in my round of missionary work for the Nebbaska Inde pendent and having a few hours on my hands between trains I concluded to visit the Soldiers and Sailors Home loca ted at this place, and acting upon the thought I boarded the street car and after a half hours ride we reached the home, about three miles distant from the post office in the city. Arriving at the home, we were shown into the office and met for the first time Commandant W. Wilson, Adjutant Dan. Althen, Or derly Kirkpatrick and other officers antf employees whose names we do not rf.-collect, except Haunab, zimmer ma tron. It was my privilege through the kindness of Orderly Kirkpatrick to look through the books which are kept in con nection with the business anaira 01 tne home and I can truthfully etate for the benefit of all concerned that the books are kept in a business and scholarly manner and that all branches of affairs of the home are conducted on the most improved and economic plans. In my talks with the boys wno are maKing their home at this institution, I find the bet of feeling, not only with Command ant Wilson, but with all the subordinate officers. They are especially pleased with Commandant Wilson's management and control of the home; to a large degree ne has done away with the red tape prac tices of former Commandants wnicn nas operated in a large measure in bringing about a better discipline, ine men ueing placed more on their honor as men and citizens than as common soldiers sub ject to the beck and call of an exacting officer. As a whole it may be etated without fear of successful contradiction, that compared with former times the home is. notwithstanding the large number and the necessarily different temperaments there congregated, a very happy and contented family. There is at this time a membership in the home of 243 and and a total all told in the home of 266. To give the average citizen of Nebraska an idea of the expense incurred and the strict economy practised by the present management of the home as compared with former management, it will only be necessary to state that the cost per cap- 1 f - U II n.l. 1 f I in iur iue uiuuvu ui iuatuu tvcd umj n cents per day and that the average cost per capita with the exception 01 a iew first months of Commandant Wilson s time has not been more than 13 cents, as against from 16 to 17 cents per capita under former managment, and in addi tion to this it can be truthfully stated that the home at present re better supplied with the necessaries ot ine man formerly. The general government pays to the state for the use oi the home cents per quarter per capita, which makes the snug sum of $4,600,00 for present membership, this, with the state appropriation, is sufficient to Keep toe brave old defenders of old glory comfort able and happy in their last days, M. D. Minnesota Populists. Minnesotans are arranging for jubilee celebrations in which the people are to be brought together in great crowds and enthusad with stirring addresses and songs. Picnics and barbecues will be features of these celebrations and the proceeds at these meetings will be used for campaign purposes. Will Boycott tha. Railroads. California populists are making great preparations for their state convention at Sacramento, May 12. Delegates have been elected and many of them from in terior counties will go to Sacramento bv wacron, camping along the route and unon the capital grounds during the session. Maine Democrats all Dead. Reports from Maine indicate that the democratic party has been almost en tirely wiped out of existence in that state, There are also a large number of repub licans who are disgusted with the pres ent conditions and liable to bolt their nartv this year. Proper effort on the part of populists in that state will re sult in large accessions w iueir rauno. Summer Plates. "Write For Catalogue, Address A DEMOCRAT'S IDEA. HE SATS THE FREE SILVER HEN WILL CARRY THE CHICAGO CONVENTION And Insists That the Pops Ought to Support the Caodldate. Central City, Neb., May 5, '96. Editor Independent: I see by reading your paper that you still keep your "eye" on the middle of the road, and like the republicans try to make the whole world believe that Cleveland-Carlisle and Tobe Caster and a few more traitors are the democaatic party, assuming that that the goldbug element will control the Chicago convention. If you are in formed as well as your paper indicates, you know there is not the slightest chance for the administration democrats to be in the majority at the Chicago convention. If we as silver democrats run the goldbugs out of the temple, as Christ did, for making his house of wor ship a den of thievs, are we not entitled to the respect of the people. When did you ever see the people of any political party rise up and rebuke their president as we democrats have done? If you had in former years witnessed the same in the republican party would the republi can party have treated the traitors in their party as we are treating the trai tors in ours? If you had, you would have never left or had any occasion for leav ing the "grand old party," aa they still call themselves. You seem to think it would be an ever lasting disgrace to fuse with the Bilver democrats and elect a president. You go on the plan of a goldbug republican. "If I can't get in myself, I would rather have a goldbug democrat in." The poli ticians and the editors of the pop party, if they can't get in power themselves would prefer to see the old party in power, where they got their training. It is not the reform you want so much as it is you want to get into power. You are afraid if you help the free silver democrats and should succeed in electing a democrat president on the silver issue, you would lose the pop party. That of course is a delusion. 1 thinK the pop party is all right and if I had or do have occasion to leave my party your party woudl be my choice, but simply because we have had a few more traitors in our jcamp than you have had, is not in my Judgment any good reason for me to leave. Whenever the traitors are in the majority, then and not 'till then, will I feel justified in leaving. We still believe in the pure democratic rinciples many of which you have adopted in your platform with some others that you will ultimately drop. Do you think that any good can come out of a reform movement for the pops to fuse with the republicans as you have done in the last two years. If the republicans work in the senate and congress with you, and represent your principles more than that of the demo crats, then I would say go with them, but you say you left the republican party because it went back on the pure princi ples your party represented, and now, you in many placesloin hands with them and can't join hands with the free silver democrats to get a silver president and a congress on the very qestion we both agree. You seem to think you would loose your character if you do this, bnt you know better. We democrats nomi nated Holcomb, your pop governor, Did we loose anything by it? I say no, We are glad of it and would do the same thing over, W by? Because we are in the monority in this state and love reform better than office, (see?) We did not loose our party organization and were not afraid of it, as you seem to fear a large skehtoh dangling in front of the par ty. There could be a union of all the forces and get the present reform if the pops would agreeand yet you would hold your organization and promote the interest of the country. I believe the larger part of the pops want to affect this very movement, as they know, that divided we cannot win. Why not do this when it is so much neeced? Respectfully yours, M. D. Haddox, A subscriber of your paper. P. S. Remember the pops tried walk ing in the middle of the road two years ago and they walked there all winter and those whom I know don't care to try it any more. If Mr Haddox will present a plan that will assuredly bring "a union of all the forces" and that willresnfin tbereforms demanded for the relief ol the people, every loyal populist in the United States will agree to it, instanter, forthwith and without any delay whatever.

Hoover, an attor ney of this place, and be showed me a circular letter from a gentleman in Lin coln on the subject of selecting members for the next legislature, wbo will not be favorable to the legislation that is sure to be introduced in favor of the old line companies ana against an mutual, ira- ternal and benevolent associations in the state. It seems that all fraternal orders in the state are at last waking up to the fact that the monopolistic money power of the country is determined that no organization snail live mar aoes not belong to them, and that it alone has the God-given rignt to do tne business of this land and tax the people what it thinks fit. The populist party has warned the people many a day and many times a day that all institutions of the people must inevitably pass away and all power be given into the hands of monopoly unless the masses are willing to lay aside party prejudice and come to gether at the ballot box for self preser vation. Tne trouble nas never reacnea the benevolent orders like the A. O. U. W., M. W. A. and the K. 0. T. M. They cry out in their fear to one another a vain :ry, except tney repent 01 partisan folly and bigotry. I send you a copy of Mr. Hoover's letter in reply to the gen tleman.
