Seward. Neb —Enght people were j
-killed and many Injured by a tornado j
which swept through Seward at supper
time Wednesday. The eight dead are
all that have been recovered, although
the list may be greater than that.
Homes were torn up and hurled long
distances and the injured will prob
abiy be large.
The storm hit the city near the fair
grounds park, and sweeping in a
northeasterly direction, tore a path
from one to two blocks wide. From
here it tore across country in the di
rection of Germantown, northeast of
here.
The storm struck the fair grounds,
northwest of town, where it did minor
damage. It then followed the line of
the Northwestern tracks through the
north edge of the city, finally veering
off toward the northeast as it trailed
out cf the city iimits.
Approximately one-fifth of the town
was in the path of the storm. Twenty
two houses were totally wrecked and
a huge list of barns and other out
buildings was added to the tell of
property ruined by the wind's fury.
It was shortly after 5 o'clock that
the big storm clouds formed in the
west. Many people hurried home, but
others pronounced the clouds harm
less and did not make any prepara
tions for a storm. At 5:30, however,
the clouds appeared more ominous,
and tw-enty minutes later the storm
was sweeping on its course through
the town. Had it come half an hour
or an hour later it would have claimed
a greater toil than it did.

ers were bearing their losses as optim

such trying circumstances.
Devastation Grows.
The devastation resulting from
Wednesday night’s tornado grows as
the ruins are carefully surveyed by
families and friends of the sufferers.
The cloud had the usual cyclonic ap
pearance. accompanied by the roar
which made known its nature. The
fact that a large number took refuge
in cellars and caves accounts for the
comparatively small number of fatali
ties. Near the fair grounds park and
the Northwestern railroad is located
the Schclz heme, where two members
of the family lost their lives. This is

Rushed to Cellar.
Many people saw the tornado com- j
leg and rushed to cellars. Others j
thought nothing of the dark clouds I
which came rolling up and were at !
supper when the twister hit. Crashing |
through houses and tearing up trees
it swept through the city and those
who had not been watching the clouds
had no time to flee before the storm
was upon them.
All the doctors in the city have been
busy and a call was sent out for un
dertakers from Lincoln to help the lo
cal men take care of the bodies. Prac
tically the entire population is on the
scene of the accident, working in the j
wreckage. A number of people are yet
to be accounted for.
Had the storm struck a little further
south it would have crashed through
the heart of the city. As it was. it
swept through a portion more thinly
settled than the remainder of the
town. This will probably hold the
loss of life down.
Only One Fire Started.
Twenty-two houses were totally de
stroyed by the storm and numberless
barns and outbuildings. Only one fire
started in the path cf the storm, that
being at the residence of K. C. Framp
ton. It was quickly extinguished by
neighbors, however, without the aid
of the fire department. A fire in the
kitchen stove wrhere supper was cook
ing ignited a bundle of papers in the
kitchen. The fire spread rapidly to
the wreckage roundabout but was dis
covered by people who were starting
out to aid in relief work.
The storm was heard approaching
for a considerable time. Darkness
fell and the usual roaring accompany
ing a tornado gave many people warn
ing to go to their cellars or tornado
caves. Many lives were saved in this
way.
The storm was of short duration.
Then followed a scene of great ex
citement. The people rushed from the
main part of the town to give assist
ance to those who had been more un
fortunate. The sight that met their
eyes in the northern part of town was
terrible. Houses -were wrecked, trees
were uprooted or denuded of leaves.
Many houses not in the direct path
of the storm were injured. Some of
them lost roofs and projections.
Formed West of Sutton.
Sutton. Neb.—The tornado which is
reported to have done considerable
damage farther east and north of here,
seems to have formed almost directly
west of Sutton. The clouds accom
panying the storm were a very unusual
sight and were watched by hundreds
of people. When it was west of Sut
ton. masses of clouds were, flying in
all directions, sometimes sinking and
sometimes rising. Only once, how
ever, was there anything in the forni
of a funnel observed from town and
that was when a great mass of clouds
seemed to suddenly sink to the ground.
For a time tiie main part of the storm
seemed to be coming directly toward
town, but later changed its course, go
ing north and seemingly following the
Blue river. When the storm had
passed to the northeast the funnel ol
the tornado was plainly visible to
many from here, but seemed to be
several miles north. Excepting a few
gusts there was absolutely no wind in
Sutton.
Cloud Was Umbrella Shaped.
Those who watched the storm de
scribe it as umbrella shaped and white
in color. A roaring noise accompanied
its approach and many of the town
people took refuge in cellars and
caves. This safeguard was the means
of saving the lives of most who re
sided in its path who were not killed
Trees were uprooted and those left
standing were stripped bare or twisted
out by the roots.
Severe Hail at Valpariso.
Valparaiso, Neb.—One of the sever
est hail and wind storms of the sea
son. accompanied by a heavy downpour
of rain, struck Valparaiso and vicinity
Wednesday about 5:30. The storm
came up from the southwest, accom
panied by a terriGc roar, and for a
little while it was feared that there
would be a bad tornado. People took
refuge in their cellars and caves. Hail
fell so thick that the ground was cov
ered in a short time. There were lots
of hail stones an inch in diameter,
which did lots of damage to the fruit
and beat the gardens down even with
the ground. Rain fell in torrents for
about fifteen or twenty minutes after
the hail.
Red Cross on Ground.
Eugene T. Lies, representative of
the National Red Cross society, ar
rived from Omaha at noon Thursday.
He chanced to be in Omaha in con
nection with the relief work there
when the news of the Seward disaster
reached him. He went over the field
and says he is ready to make any rec
ommendation to the Red Cross for re
kef funds that the case may warrant.
Accompanying Mr. Lies were two
trained nurses. Miss Florence Clark
and Miss Alice Barker.
Buried in Ruins but Escapes.
Henry Creighton was lying on a bed
in his house when the house went to
pieces, the side of the house blowing
away and the contents of the room be
ing left intact. Other members of the
family_in another room were left un
harmed on account of the roof lodg
ing in an angular position. A number
of the victims were buried in the de
bris and dug their way out with only
slight injuries.
Seward. Neb.—Awakening to a reali
zation of the catastrophe which
pounced upon their city Wednesday
evening. Seward people began immedi
ate plans for cleaning up the wind
swept district and for providing
shelter for those whose homes were
wrecked by the tornado.
Mayor Calder, seconded by President
Miller of the commercial club. Sheriff
Gillan. W. H. Smith and a number.of
other business men. took a hurried
survey of the damage wrought by the
storm and then announced that they
would endeavor to bear their burden
alone. Cleaning-up squads were
planned and activities were under way
all day in connection with the housing
of the homeless.
The day’s reports of the patrols
who have been in the district continu
ally since an hour after the storm,
showed that no more injured persons
had been reported, no pilfering had
been indulged in and that all suffer
Property Damage Over $100,000.
The property damage was estimated
at varying figures, but by conservative
business men it was believed that it
would total higher than flOO.OOO. Twen
ty-two houses were completely de
stroyed and a like number were made
untenantable through the ravages of
the storm. Between forty and fifty
persons were said to be homeless.
The storm made a clean sweep of
everything in its path. Houses, furni
ture. clothes, stoves, books, fences,
lawn swings, chicken coops, telephone
and electric light wires were brushed
aside, hurled, dashed and scattered in !
every direction. Great trees were'
torn out by their roots or were broken
off and strewn over the sidewalks and
the roads.
No more dead have been reported,
! although the ruins have been thorough
ly searched. The injured are all being
cared for and it is not believed that
more fatalities will result.
The fact that so much of the city
escaped the stornf has been a great
factor in enabling the city to care for
its own relief work rapidly. Afl of the
destitute were at once taken into the
homes of neighbors and there is noth
ing like the suffering- which would
have followed had the storm hit the
city squarely.
The sheriff has sworn in a large
number of deputies, wha were at once
assigned to duty patroling the de
stroyed part of the tow nt<5 prevent
looting. Governor Morehead notified
the town officials that he had or
dered a company of state militia be
held in readiness for service in the
event of its presence being required
here.
Fire Department Patrols District.
The members of the volunteer fire
department were sworn in to patrol
the devastated and storm swept dis
trict. They were extended three-quar
ters of a mile in the city and for sev
eral miles in an easterly direction.
Frank Tipton prevented the wreck
of a Burlington passenger train, which
he flagged on -the outskirts of the
town. A telephone pole and other
wreckage had been thrown onto the
tracks and Tipton discovered the
debris just in time to prevent the
train crashing into it.
t
Sightseers poured into the city on
every train and more are expected
during the next few days. The sight
seers, together with the wreck left by
the tornado, is keeping the citizens of
the city busy. There was not an idle
hand in town, everyone not injured or
i ill being at work aiding in the stricken
! district. Deputies are still patrolling
the ruins. The work of searching the
j ruins for belongings by the stricken
j ones in the tornado goes on rapidly,
and it is thought that goods that can
I be used at all will have been picked
i up.
The destruction to the large forest
trees at the fair grounds park is a
source of sorrow to everyone. Not
only are many twisted in all shapes,
but many giant walnut and elms are
laid low by the wind. A peculiar
freak at the park was shown when
the amphitheater was bloyn in a
northwesterly direction from its foun
dation and landed in the river, while
all other debris was carried in a north
easterly direction. From the appear
ance it looks as though sections of the
roof were lifted up above high trees
and landed on the other side.
ARGENTINA CATTLE INDUSTRY MUCH MORE
PATRONIZED THAN IN THE UNITED STATES
In Temperate Zone Almost Entire Life of Animal May Be Spent
Out of Doors Without Shelter of Any Kind—Luxuriant
Growth c?f Alfalfa Makes Beef Production Cheap.
I Champion Short Korn Bull, Sold at International Stock Show, Chicago, far
Export to Argentina.
(Bv W. H. MUMFORD.)
Cattle raising for beef in Argentina,
especially in the temperate zone, is a
much more favored industry than in
the United States. The climate makes
it possible for the entire life of cat
tle to be spent out of doors without
shelter and generally without shade
c£ any kind. Alfalfa grows most lux
uriantly, and the suitability of a very
large acreage for the growth of that
crop and of other nutritious indig
enous and introduced legumes and
grasses, together .with cheap land and
labor, makes It possible to produce
beef cheaply. To any one unacquaint
ed with the possibilities of the coun
try. the degree of fatness which the
cattle acquire on grass or alfalfa
alone Is a marvel. Corn feeding as a
supplement to pasture for beef pro
duction is extremely rare. Beef-mak
ing in Argentina at present there
fore is practically a strict pasture
proposition.
There is quite an extensive area
well suited to. and at present partial
ly used for, the growing of corn, but
as yet, and probably for some years
to come, this product will be either
exported or used for horse, dairy cow,
and pig feeding. Only the flint varie
ties are grown generally. It is evi
dent that the natural advantages of
Argentina enable her cattle products
profitably to compete as they are
already doing, with the grass cattle
and lower grades of native beef pro
duced in this country. North Amer
ican corn-fed beef, so long as the sup
ply lastB, doubtless will continue to
command a premium over Argentina
grass cattle In the market of the
world. Although Argentina eventual
ly may develop the production of
corn-fed cattle which her soil and
1 climate render quite possible, it is
■ probable that the domestic demand
I In the United States by that time will
absorb, and indeed already absorbs,
•practically the entire amount of beef
produced here, thus rendering our ex
port trade, and consequently foreign
competition abroad, an unimportant
factor in the industry. The chief con
cern of beef producers in this coun
try should be not what effect will
South American competition have
upon our export trade, but what ef
fect will the possible importation of
South American beef to the United
States have upon the production of
beef cattle here.
That com, and likewise corn-fed
cattle, can be produced in Argentina,
Uruguay, and some other South Amer
ican countries is an assured fact. The
extent to which it will be fed to cat
tle, however, is limited by the rela
tively small production of com and
further by the fact that it is a new
industry and will not gain favor rap
idly because it involves more crop
ping and labor and considerably more
expense.
It is significant that the expansion
of cattle raising in Argentina has
ceased, and largely because grain
growing is proving more profitable
than cattle raising. The beef product
will be much improved but the supply
available for export doubtless will not
increase more rapidly than the com
bined faotors of increased population
there and among nations consuming
her surplus, and the relative decrease
of beef production elsewhere. South
American beef surplus will be in
strong demand; obviously countries
willing to pay the highest premium
for it will secure it. Again, the cost
of production is sure to increase with
increased cost of labor and land.
Under such conditions it is not antici
pated that the business of raising
beef cattle in the United States will
be menaced permanently by Argen
tine.
SEVERAL DANGERS
IN BREEDING EWES
Lamb That Is Bred in First Year
Will Remain Stunted—Much
Food Is Wasted.
It is natural that a lamb should put
in its first year in growing, both in j
| height and breadth as well as in vol
| ume. The feed consumed should con
tribute to this end. When the lamb
is bred, much of th£ nourishment in
tended for .itself must go toward the
nourishment of the foetus. For that
reason the development of the mother
; is retarded^ and, in fact, is never
1 again resumed to anything like the
| degree first seen.
A lamb that i3 bred in the first
I year will remain stunted. Even its
j wool will fail to make anything like
I normal growth. The first year's wool
crop is usually counted on to be the
largest, but it is little to boast of if
the lamb is bred. Like tissue, wool
requires feed to promote its growth,
! and when the feed has to be used for
j other purposes the wool does not
| grow.
It may be argued that heavier feed- j
mg of the lamb would overcome these
objections, says New York Farmer,
but as a matter of fact there is a max- j
| imum amount of feed that the not
yet fully developed digestive system
of the lamb cannot handle, and be
yond this amount the food is voided
from the body in an unassimilated
state, without doing the iamb any
good. Rather will it exhaust the ener- .
gies of the lamb still further to han
dle this mass of food from which it
cannot derive any benefit.
If an unusually fine lamb resulted
from the breeding of a young ewe,
then there might be some reason for
sacrificing the growthiness of the
mother; but as a matter of fact, quite
the opposite condition holds true in
the majority of cases. An immature
ewe seldom produces a sturdy lamb.
Her offspring is usually lacking both
in size and vigor and seldom proves |
Ur be a growthy, prolific animal.
The reasons'for this are obvious: j
First, the lack of competent develop
ment of the mother and the some
what imperfect functioning of her va
rious organs; and, secondly, the ex
istence of such conditions of affairs
that the food which should go to the
nourishment of the foetus must be
utilized in part for the upbuilding and
grow’th of the mother.
A flock in which a practice of
breeding young ewes is made deteri
orates rapidly, and in a short time
undersized, weakly and ungrowthy
sheep will be found in it. The man
who desires to maintain size and
growth in his sheep, to keep up a high
wool yield and to improve his flock in
general should not yield to the some
times great temptation to breed hit
young ewe lambs.
CORN SMUT ls~
VERY INJURIOUS
/
Only Way to £ontrol Disease Is
to Destroy Balls—Change
of Land Benefits.
(By E. M. FREEMAN, Plant Pathology
and Botany, University Farm. St. Paul.
Minn.1
Corn smut may occur upon any part
of the corn plant; it may also infect
any young and tender part, at any
stage of the corn plant's life. During
the winter the spores live in the soil
or in manure. In this respect corn
smut is different from the grain
smuts; in none of the latter is there
any appreciable danger of infection
from spores which have lived over in
the soil. In the spring the spores ger
minate, producing long chains of new
spores, which are blown about by the
wind and infect any growing part of
the corn plant, producing, finally, smut
balls. The spores may live in the soil
or in manure piles for years. This, of
course, make« seed treatment useless:
and the only way to control the smut
is to destroy all smut balls, when pos
sible, to prevent them from shedding
their spores on the ground or into
manure, and avoid placing fresh
manure on corn land. Changing corn
land from year to year also is bene
ficial. '
Profit in Growing Pigs.
For the average farmer the "profit
in growing pigs is made up of using
material on the farm that otherwise
would necessitate frequent trips to
the railroad station to dispose of—J
pigs are more easily marketed than
are milk and grains that they devour.
Save Dry Loam.
Make a bin in the stable and store
jp several loads of dry loam dust this
summer. It is Invaluable in keeping
down stable odors and in catching
and holding ammonia and staple
liquids that otherwise would waste.
This dust is as valuable as plaster
and may be Bafely considered worth
$2 per load. It is indispensable to
the poultry house also.
Satisfactory Station Fee.
Probably the most satisfactory plan
for stallion owners is to charge a
good living fee and insure a live colt.
Most men are willing to pay for what
they get, but they want their money’s
worth.

Women Are Constantly Being Restored to
Health by Lydia F. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
“Worth mountains of gold,” says one woman. Another
says, “I would not give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound for all the other medicines for women in the
world.’’ Still another writes, “ I should like to have the
merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound thrown
on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could
read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills.”
We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo
tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women
whose health has been restored ar.d suffering banished by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound accomplished
such a universal success? Why has it lived and thrived and kept on
doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more
than 30 years ?
Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim
ply because there is no other medicine so good for women’s ills.
Here are two letters that just came to the writer’s desk—only two
of thousands, but both tell a comforting story to every suffering wo
man who will read them—and be guided by them.
