The Northwestern follows them with best wishes. Joe Vaughn is happy.

The fix tures were ordered last fall in plenty of time for the order to be filled and, received here the first of last Decem ber, but unfortunately the factory where they were being made had a strike of workmen and only now after nearly four months of most aggravat ing wait they will be here, hurried in to position and the Rexall store will be able shortly to move into their handsome new quarters in the Waite block.

She contemplates at an early date there after to remove elsewhere to make her home, her good mother accom panying her.

It began just west of Hascomb Park and traveled north-\| east through the densest populated residence portion of the city, tearing a path from four to six blocks wide and about four miles in length. From the starting point it moved a little east of north till it reached Cuming street, two miles north, when it veered slightly more east till Lake street was reached at 24th, a mile further on. Here it seemed to sepa rate, the more destructive part mov ing east aleag Lake, Ohio, Maple, Locust and Binney streets, till it crossed the river more than a mile away, plowing through the best resi dence portion of the city. The most destruction appeared to be in the thickly populated residence portion along Fortieth, across Farnam, Daven port, Douglas, and on Dewey avenue, ending its existence by dropping a series of tornadoes over various portions of the city. When it crossed the river, it left death and property destruction in its wake over Council Bluffs and various towns over western Iowa. Besides the great horror in Omaha, branches of the tornado vis ited and tore to pieces the suburban town of Ralston, blotted out the town of Berlin, Neb,, visited Water loo, Valley, Yutan, where some twenty or more were killed, and nu merous other towns not here enume rated. The great tornado at Omaha caused sorrow in the family of John Lofholm of this city, Mrs. Lofholm’s twin brother, A. J. Newman, of 4224 Dewey avenue, having his home demolished, his wife and baby killed and a son, aged 22 years, injured so badly his life is dispaired of. There were nine children in the family, seven at home and two older sons in Kansas and California. Mr. Newman and five of the children escaped injury. Tuesday noon, in answer to a telegram from Mr. New man telling of the death of Mrs. Newman, Mr. Lawrence Lof holm and Miss Berdie Lofholm took the noon motor for Omaha to give aid and sympathy to the stricken husband and father and his motherless chil dren. Later—A phone message from Mr. Lofholm at Omaha this morning stat* ed that his cousin died from the in juries received, the funeral of mother and son to be held today. Another son, also badly hurt, lies in the hospi tal, whose recovery is uncertain. Among the killed were Mrs. M. N. Holm, aged 28 years, and her 6-year old daughter of 38th and Davenport streets, while the husband and father is in the Swedish hospital badly in jured. Mrs. Holm was an own cousin of Mr. Vic Swanson of this city, and the only news he lias received was through the deatli list in the dailies. In the path of the storm, as mapped out, is the home of Agent J. A. Danielson of this city, situated on Dewey avenue^ but as that home is not mentioned in the newspaper re ports, and only one home very near, mentioned as being partially de stroyed, Mr. Danielson trusts his Omaha home may have escaped de struction. According to latest reports from Omaha the death loss is close to 200; the injured. 240; houses demolished, 350; churches wrecked, 11; schools wrecked, 8: buildings damaged or de stroyed. 1250, and the property loss estimated up into the millions of dollars, while thousands of people are made homeless by the worst tornado ever visiting this state, by reason of its path being through a most densely populated residence portion of the largest city in the middle west. tending school for three months.

It’s true though, and especially on boys’ clothes. Most boys’ clothes are sold for so low a price that some manufacturers make them in sweat shops, by foreign labor, a great many of whom live and work under disease spreading conditions. These geims are easily breathed and transterred right into the clothes your boy may put on his back. “Wooly Boy 99 Clothes are made by skilled labor in the lightest and most sanittar shops in the country Shops that pass the most rigid health inspection at all times. If safe guarding your boy’s health were the onh inducement offered you to buy “WOOEY BOY” AT LOBMTZ i 1 We Irrvite iron TO THE NEW THEATRE Nothing but Good, Clean shows will be per mitted to be put on here.

The real worth of clothes also depends largely upon what there is on the inside. LUKONE TAILORING bears acquaintance. There’s something to it.
