FORT CROOK, Neb., Juno 16. (Special
Telegram.) Tho worst storm which has vis
ited this section In years camo up suddenly
this afternoon and tho post and cntlro sur
rounding country look ns though they had
passed through n fierce engagement. Oreat
damago wns dono to tho buildings nt tho
post and crops In a strip about a mllo wldo
are utterly ruined. Just how far tho storm
extended southward la not known hero, but
a telephono niCEsago from LaPlatto stated
that much damago was dono to buildings In
that vicinity. From Indications tho storm
was worso In thnt direction than here.
Just before tho storm came up a heavy
cloud was observed to tho north and an
other to tho southward. Tho two appeared
to meet nt this point. Tho wind had nuin
clcnt velocity to blow down trees, destroy
small outbuildings, unroof others and blow
over chimneys. Tho rain fell In torrents
buildings wero broken out nnd crops of all
kinds simply beaten Into tho ground. Tho
destruction In this lino is complete. There
Is not n thing In tho shapo of growing grain
In tho path of tho storm which will recover
from Its effects. Trco fruit Is also com
pletely ruined.
Tho greatest amount of damago In any
ono placo Is nt Fort Crosk. All tho win
dows on the north nnd northeast sides of
tho buildings aro broken, several chimneys
wero toppled over and considerable damage
done to tho slnto roofs of tho quarters nnd
oCTlccro' residences. Tho rain poured
through tho broken windows In torrents, ;
doing great damage to tho plastering and
Interior furnishings of tho buildings and
tho papers In the quartermaster's ofllco
were watersonked and badly damaged. At
tho pumping station tho pump pit was
Hooded, tho building ltseslf damaged and
it will bo Impossible to start tho pumpa
for several days. Tho cellars of most 'of
tho post buildings were nlso Hooded. It
will amount to several thovsand dollars.
In the town of Fort Crook tho buildings
fared nbout tho same. Tho telegraph in
struments at the depot were burned out by
llKhtnlng and a largo section of tho Mis
souri- Pacific, track washed away, delaying
trains for several hours, small outouiiaings
wero blown down and larger ones damaged.
No detailed reports havo come In from tho
country districts except that crops arc en
tirely destroyed and much damage done to
buildings. So far na known at this time
no ono was killed or even Injured by the
storm.
The county is nlso a considerable BUfforor.
Tho rainfall was so heavy that streams wero
soon out of their banks and bridges wero
washed out In every direction. Iloads wore

storm broko over this city about 1 o'clock
this afternoon, and for over one hour a
veritable cloudburst emptied its contents

masses of awlftly flowing water; tho sowers
wero overflowed, cellars were rilled with
water, branches of trees wero broken off,

During tho fury of the storm lightning
struck the dwelling of Joseph Lake on Wln-
terstcen hill and tho building was completely
consumed by the flames. Tho members of
tho family were all In tho cellar, and wero
shocked to insensibility, but regained -con
sciousness In tlmo to get out of the houso
beforo tho lire had spread very much. While
attempting to remove some of tho house

Tho dwelling of M, A. Dickson, bridge
watchman for tho Burlington, was also
struck by lightning, but the flames extin
guished boforo much damago was done. In
tho Burlington shops tho damago Is esti
mated to be $3,000. Tho whistle blew to
wnrn tho men, but beforo they could escape
the water rushed In and was from three
to four feet deep on a level. Lumber nnd
ovcrythlng else that was not anchored fast
was floated all over tho yards, lloth tho
Plattsmouth and Nebraska telephono com

After ns diligent an all-around talking
match as has been seen or heard In Omaha
since tho last preceding populist convention,
Saturday afternoon's county convention of
thnt party, or rather the fusion wing of it.
passed a resolution of confidence In John O.
Yelstr, nnd then ndopted another instruct
ing tho delegation to votn for Elmer E.
Thomas for attorney general.
Tho convention met at 2:15 p. m. In the
fusion Peter Cooper club rooms with about
seventy-Hvo delegates present out of a pos
sible totnl of 162. Six precincts wero not
represented, so that tbo total voto of tho
delegntcs present, voting their full precinct
representation, was 131. Tho crowd was
fringed with Interested democruts.
J. M. Kenney, as chairman of tho county
central committee, called to order, George
Magney wns chesen to preside nnd L. J.
Qulnby nnd Charlis Cohen mado secretaries.
A committee on credentials, comprising
Martin Langdon, F. W. Marsh, a. W. Wood
by, Allen Root and J. J. Points, put In over
nn hour in a little back room trying to reach
a conclusion on two contests, which It
finally reported back to tho convention. Del
egations from all tho city wards except tho
Third and Second were accepted without
question, ns wero also those from South
Omaha nnd seven out of tho thirteen coun
try precincts.
Pending tho commltteo deliberations the
convention plnycd with its lingers, discussed
tho situation, ravenously smoked villainous
tobacco and marveled what had stumped tho
committee. While tho delegates wero In this
good hmorcd stato of Inertia August Cllne,
recognized as a middle-of-the-roader, camo
into the hall bearing, neatly wrapped In a
copy of D. Clem Dcavcr'o paper, the short
handlcd nx used by Victor E. Wilson nt tho
Inst county populist convention In spilling
tho party. Tho presentattlon of this historic
weapon to tho chair led to n Berks of good
humored remarks.
Content Over Credent Inln.
Tho committee on credentials Anally ro
ported Its Inability to submit a recommenda
tion upon the contest In tho Second ward.
Tho regular delegation was headed by Gen
eral T. C. Kelsey of Industrial army fame,
while J. Harry Minds headed a contesting
delegation. Tho contesting leaders wero al
lowed thrco minutes each to state their re
spective claims, full of charges and counter
charges.
A motion for the seating of tho Kelsey
delegation was carried practically unani
mously. This wns tho antl-Kelsey delega
tion. Tho Third ward contest presented a per
plexing mixture of mistakes. In tho call tho
place for holding the primary was 1415 Far
nam street, but F. S. Horton, ono of the
officials, concluded that he would hold it at
612 South Thirteenth street. Ho noticed,
however, that tho call bad specified tho
placo flrst-abovo named and beforo opening
at the latter placo he had visited tho Far
nam street location. Thero ho met C. E.
Fields nnd John Ticrncy, who demanded the
privilege of voting. This he denied to them
on the ground that they were recognized as
mlddle-of-the-roadcrs and were barred by
the rules. Ho organized himself Into an
election board, however, cast his own vote
with himself and adjourned the primary to
612 South Thirteenth Btrcet. Thero ho was
Joined by three other fuclonlsts. ono of whom
consented to become secretary of the board.
Tho votes of tho three recruits wero cast,
making four In all and from these four votes
tho returns were made up for tho Horton
delegation, which wns for Yelser.
It appeared that after Horton adjourned
to South Thirteenth street Fields nnd somo
others nt tho Knrnam street location made
up a delegation. Ail of tho delegates on this
list wero middle-of-the-roaders. This list
was given to tho press nnd a copy of It filed
nt tho city hall. When tho list was handed
In at tho convention, however, the names
upon It were almost entirely different from
those published and filed at thetty hall and
among them was one namo, that of a man
named Ilollenbcck, who was stated to mako
no prctenso of being a populist.
J. M. Kcnnoy, ono of the Poynter leaders,
advocated allowing each delegation half a
vote, but It was finally decided almost unani
mously to admit tho Horton delegation.
Confidence In John O. Yelner.
Tho temporary organization was thereupon
mado permanent nnd L. J. Qulnby of the dis
trict clerk's ofllco gavo tho signal for tho
rawhtdlng to begin by offering a resolution
which, without unnecessary preliminaries,
declared:
Resolved, That we favor the nomination
of Hon. John O. Yelser for governor und
hereby tender him tho united support of
DoubIhh county.
Mr. Qulnby urged his resolution In a
speech of considerable length and forco,
eulogizing Yelser and declaring this recog
nition duo him.
James B. Jones, county Jailer, took occa
sion to deny tho published assertion that he
was a pronounced Poynter man, saying that
ho waB for tho best and strongest man. That
meant that he was for Yelser If tho conven
tion found him to bo that man, but ho did
not want tho delegation tied to any man.
Ho therefor moved to amond by declaring
in favor of an unlnstructed delegation.
Dan Way of South Omaha folt quite sure
thnt If Douglas county had declared for
Yelsor two years ngo ho would havo been
governor for tho past two years, ho was In
favor of Instructing now,
Frank B. Hlbbard thanked Ood that he
was a pie-eater no longer nnd was simply
a plain populist. Ho emphatically denied
that he was agent of Poynter, but bo was
not in favor of tying tho delegation to
Yelser. Ho recalled a tlmo when Yelser

More than 100 Swedlsh-Amcrlcnn citizens
of Omaha attended the meeting of the Swedish-American
leaguo at the Millard hotel
last night and expressed their approval of
the republican party and its cardinal prin
ciples. President McKlnley and his foreign
policy were commended and the members
of the leaguo declared themselves in favor
of expansion of the sort tho republican party
advocates.
Thomas Johnson, chairman of the league,
presided at tho meeting and Introduced tho
speakers, John L. Webster, John L. Ken
nedy and C. J. Johnson. Sixteen delcgatos
wero chosen to represent the league at tho
meeting of tho Nebraska Republican leaguo
convention, which will bo held nt Lincoln
Juno 28.
John L. Webster spoko of tho unpleasant
ness' that now exUts In China nnd sug
gested that tho United States and other
powers will bo compelled to lnterfcro to
protect their citizens. Tho skilful manner
in which tho republican party managed tho
recent trouble with Spain has shown Its
ability to cope with great problems of that
nnture and recommends it as tho party
which is best able to caro for tho govern
ment in case of a great International com
plication such ns Is now threatened.
"As soon ns democrats get Into power
money goe3 Into hiding," said J. L. Ken
nedy, tho next speaker. Ho commended
tho republican party as tho party of pros
perity and tho party which does not desire
to run from responsibilities, but Is willing
to assumo tho control of territory that falls
to Its lot. Mr. Kennedy declared tho re
publican party's plan of expansion to be
very different from Imperialism. Ho com
mended tho party for the Increased oppor
tunities It will offer to its citizens In tho
nuwly acquired territory and mado a plea
for a merchant marlno.
Samuel Morris sang sovoral very amusing
campaign songs during tho evening. Ono
of tho songs, "Billy Bryan's Defective Mem
ory," was particularly well received. Tho
words of tho song wero composed by P. J.
Barr, a member of tho league.
Tho delegates selected for tho Lincoln
