A CHANCE SHOT.
Congregational Church De
stroyed by a Whirl
wind , Saturday.
NO LIVES ARE LOST
And the Damage Outside the
Church "Will Not Exceed
Two Hundred Dollars.
BUT ONK PERSON SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Last Saturday afternoon at about
quarter past four o'clock McCook re
ceived her initial visitation from a de
structive whirlwind. And there is a
general feeling of thankfulness through
out the city that we fared no worse
than we did. Quite a high wind had
prevailed all day , and during the after
noon several small whirlwinds might
have been seen harmlessly cavorting up
and down the valley ; but they naturally
caused little attention and no apprehen
sion. So that when a consolidation of
two of these suddenly whirled across the
city from southwest to northeast with
eat force and without any considera
ble storm indications , it came like a
stroke of lightning from a cloudless sky.
Nobody expected its unwelcome pres
ence , none were prepared for it , and but
lew citizens realized that anything unu
sual had taken place until the cry got
abroad that the Congregational church
was in ruins and that forty or fifty chil
dren , who weru practicing exercises for
Children's Day , were buried in the debris.
Then there was a terrible awakening to
the fact of a possible calamity , and the
populace with one cry of horror rushed
to the scene of the disaster , and the
work of rescuing the children from their
perilous position was quickly inaugura
ted. The scene at this time was inde
scribable , one those present will not
soon be able to efface from their mem
ories : The apprehensive cries of the
parents mingling with the shrieks and
groans of the imprisoned children made
a most heart-rending chorus , which was
only completely silenced when the injur
ed had all been removed from the ruins
of the church , the absent dear ones all
accounted for , and the fact established
that none were killed , and that the hurt
were receiving proper medical attention.
A calmer review of the situation dis
closed the fact that of about a total
number of 50 , most of the children had
been dismissed shortly before the build
ing collapsed , and that of the 15 or 20
who were in the church , Little Sadie
Criswell is the only one seriously hurt ,
although about a half dozen persons
were more or less injured.
The glaziers got a number of jobs
out of the stirring incident.
\
Ruth Criswell received slight injury
to her back , but she also is now able to
be about.
The Lutheran brethren and the Bap
tist people have thrown open their doors
to their homeless Congregational breth
ren.
Numerous "appurtenances thereunto
belonging" were unceremoniously put
in general circulation along the whirl
wind's path.
The Congregational church building
is a total loss. No cyclone insurance.
The edifice was worth with its contents
perhaps $1,200.
Potter & Easterday's bran joint , or
rather the crib and shed in rear thereof ,
came out of the unpleasantness quite
the worse for wear.
Mabel Perry came out of the wreck
with a sprained ankle , which is but
temporarily unconveniencing her , and
is not at all serious.
The porch was taken from the front
of H. P. Sutton's dwelling as with a
monstrous knife. His fence and roof
were slightly damage also.
The porch on the south side of Mrs.
Anna Golfer's dwelling was blown off.
Her loss is increased by the destruction
of a number of shade trees.
The storm continued on its course
northeast from the city , but caused no
further damage , and with rare skill
avoiding all farm houses , barns , crops ,
etc.
Dannie McAlpine received quite pain-
full scalp wounds , which are not of a
serious nature , however , and he will be
kept from his accustomed sports but a
few days.
The restaurant immediately north
of the B. & M. freight house was the
first building touched , and the rear
portion of it was considerably riddled.
The plaster being shaken off and windows
dews broken.
IRKS
DIAMOND
urcd thigh , and broken jaw bone.
Though terribly hurt the doctors confi
dently expect her complete recovery in
time. She is receiving every attention.
T. B. Campbell's son Harry was one
of the unfortunates , two nails being
driven into his back , but the wounds
were promptly dressed with due regard
to possible danger from the rusty nails ,
and he will be at play as usual in a few
days.
Rev. W. C. Stevenson , who was play
ing the organ at the time , was quite
painfully hurt about the abdoman and
head , and for a time , it was thought his
internal injuries were such as to cause
apprehensions , but he is now up and
able to be around as usual.
Next to the church , 11. W. Cole's
briek building was the worst damaged ,
tle rear portion of it occupied by the
manufacturing department of Jos. Reiz-
enstein's establishment , was unroofed ;
and two large panes of glass in the
front were broken out. The operators
n the factory fortunately escaped in-
ury.
For every penny received for sensa
tional specials , McCook will have to
spend dollars to correct the false im
pression thus scattered abroad. It is
a rank injustice to a country as free
: 'rom cyclones as almost any spot on
he globe. Active and thorough steps
should be taken at once to place us
right before the world.
The Omaha Bee's special correspond
ent at this place is an artist. lie is ,
however , unlike the father of his coun
try in the characteristic taught in the
little hatchet story. It seems to be
difficult for the aforesaid sensational
correspondent to tell the truth. And
as a result of his uncontrollable pench
ant , McCook must suffer the annoyance
and loss of misrepresentation. May
the Lord have mercy on his soul.

There is an activity in real estate
circles which augurs well for the pros

double the value of land throughout

Alfalfa will be the hay of the future

demonstrated by such progressive men
as the Hatfields. John F. Helm and
many others.
The publisher points with pride to
