The Northwestern follows them with

where they were being made had a
strike of workmen and only now after
nearly four months of most aggravat

be able shortly to move into their
handsome new quarters in the Waite

Omaha Tornado Torn
200 Lives Lost and
Hundreds Were Injured
Tornadoes in Various Towns Over the State —
Many Lives Pay Forfeit—1Vli I Ions of
Property Loss
Loup City People Nourn Loss of Relatives
The most destructive tornado in
lives lost and property damaged oc
curred at Omaha last Sunday evening
at t> o’clock which has ever visited
this state. 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.

Healthy Clothes
DON’T suppose you ever cave it a thought that some
clothes were healthier than others. 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.
