Herman, M, Destroyed
With Great Loss ol Life
A Once Thriving Town is Reduced to
Ruins.
Hy Afooplnted l'rr tu the .Journal.
A special to tlie lleo from lllair, Neb.,
says :
At 0:15 last night the town of Her
man, 11 miles north of here, was prac
tically wiped off the map. Tho storm
had been gathering for some hours, and
people in lllair and the surrounding
country had noticed two huge funnel
shaped clouds converging toward that
point. At Herman, people scurried in
all directions and sought tho shelter of
tho now cyclone cellars, and instantly
the town was a seething mass of debris.
After tho llrst violent burst of wind, a
torrent of rain fell.
Train No. 2, tho (Iyer on tho Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, due in
Herman at (kO.'l p. m., pulled in 17 min
utes late and discovered that tho entire
town had been destroyed. Tho train
crew, as well as many of tho passenuors
turned thomeelvcs into a relief corps
and tho train into an emergency hospi
tal. The train, unable to proceed
through the wreckage of tho grain ele
pator blown across the tracks, returned
to Blair with some 88 persons, this
number including one of tho dead and
all of tlie wounded found up to that
time.
Tho llrst damage done was about four
miles west of Herman, at the Hawkins
farm, Mr. Hawkins is dead, and his
barns and outbuildings are a mass of
ruins. In tho village of Herman but
few buildings are left standing. Tlie
business portion and tho residences are
piled up in a heap. That any escaped is
miraculous. Tho bank owned and op
erated by Itopresontative J. II. Cham
bers is in a mass of ruiiiH. It was a sub
stantial uncK Dunning, ins nomo, an
elegant framo building, escaped. Xear
tho depot is a pile of rubbish containing
everything from a pajr of boots to dead
and wounded horses, hogs, cattle, etc.
Tho dead and wounded thus far re
ported :
Dead Mr. Hawkins; V. S. Hichards,
postmaster, Herman; A. H. Hopkins,
Herman; Mrs. A. II. Hopkins, Herman;
John Hopkins, Herman.
Seriously injured Mrs. A. Anderson,
of Herman; Machinist Clouseu, Mis
souri Valley; Tom I lines, lllair; A.
Chrlstenson, Herman; C. West, Her
man; Mrs. Kelso and child, Ponder.
V. S. Hichards probably died from
suffocation. Ho was a very old man,
and had beon postmastmaster in Her
man for tho last 12 years. Mrs Auder
son is suffering from a broken arm and
very serious cuts nlwut tho face and
head. Her condition is critical. Tom
I linos is a mason from this city and
is suffering internal injuries. He is
probably fatally hurt.
Machinist Clausen, from Missouri
Valley, is cut and bruised about tho
head, mid is suffering from internal in
juries. His condition" is very serious,
and he prolxihly cannot live till morn
ing. Immediately upon the arrival of tho
train in lllair thuwoundotl were oarried
to the homes of the residents of Hluir,
and the Christian hotol, nour tho sta
tion. Tho train roturnod to Herman
with medical assistance, all the physic
ians that could be spar!, several min
isters and many of the town -.xtoplu.
Herman is a placo of about 800 inhab
itants, in tho extreme northern iart of
Washington county.
Wires are all down north of Herman,
and it is not known how much furlhur
north tin storm went, but norls are
uoiiilng in to tliw offoot that a large or
lion of the country north of Aermun is
laid waste.
Tho entire Kubtern jorUln of he
brosku is being swept by a torrifle ruin,
wind and electric storm tonight. Tim
street) of Omaha are Hooded, and the
play of lightning is something fearful.
Ad view) received by the Itee to 11
o'clock tonight state that every building
In the town 1 destroyed, except tlw
public school mid one small dwelling,
both of which are on tho outskirts.
The force of tho wind was torriliic. The
Kionoiu the streets of the one thriving
ami beautiful little town ia one of destruc
tion. Wrecked buildings and broken
furniture, scarcely recognizable in ils
dilapidated condition, are strewn alt
around, while dead bodies lie in many
plaaes, tho corpse badly dUflgured and
mm of tliwn hardly reaogHiaiWe- Tlw
looawsofthe injured mingle witl the
talU of the rescuers as they purwe tlteir
humanitarian work in the dark by the
tliekariwg gleam of lantern. t
AM the aiUe of Htelr have thrown
ofMH their hfei to th wwmJtl, and
the unfrUiitatw are brfug eurwl ler uy
lit
re-
ceived but slight injuries.
It is impossible, at this hour owing
to tho confusion, to ascertain the num
ber of the dead.
Superintendent Jayncs, of tho Omaha
road, was at Tckcmoh when ho heard of
tho disaster, amUcftat once for Her
man on a hand'6nrViKkhig two physic
iana along withmprf to assist in suc
coring tho wounded.
A new sanuplpo weighing 10 tons was
carried a block and a Halt, and a largo
iron safe was carriek two blocks. Tho
main street of thu town is a mass of
debris. A freight train left Hlalr, at
midnight with medical aid and other
relief for tho sufferers.
Heiimas, Neb. Juno 14. Ten killed'
and about twcnty-flve wero injured in
last night's tornado. It Is thought all
arc now accounted for unless the storm
has been more disastrous in the country
than is anticipated. Not a single build
ing in the town was left whole.
Omaha, Juno 11. Two traveling men.'
W, K. Anderson and Mr. Erkino, ar
rived hore at 3 a. m. on a train from
Herman. They estimate 25 to 30 dead,
but would not venture an estimate of
the injured. They say 250 people aro
stil in Herman practically without
shelter.
Not All Recovered Vet.
Nkw Richmond, Juno 14. No organ
ized movement, looking to tho recovery
of thodead, or tho distribution of sup
plies lias Ixsen inaugurated, as yet, but
order is beginning to show amid the
chaos and demoralization, prevailing
since tho storm. A largo numbor of
bodies aro still in tho ruins, tho number
is estimated from 50 to 100.
In the tornado which struck this vil
lage wrecked several houses at
Dane Hollow, where two persons wero
killed and ten reported severely
wounded.

RELEGATED SCHEM E .
Disarmament Not to Ue Seriously Con
sidered, Nkw Yoiik, Juno 14. Tho Ainerici n
projKisal for rendering private property
Inviolable at sea is strongly supported by
tho Dutch dulegates to thu huco confer
ence, according to tho correspondent of
tho Herald nt The Hague, who luw had
luturviewH with prominent momWs ot
tho commission.
Germany, howover, the correspondent
adds, is indifferent and Franco strongly
opposes It. Sho apjicars to think incase
of war against England, of tho possibil
ity which has baun shown by tho Fash
adu incident. Tlie American scheme
would rob her of her principal woaism
against Kngland. In case of a naval
war, it lias always been the idea of the
French to strike on every point of Eng
land's merchant marine and trade.
It is quite certain that Russia supports
the French view, unci probably because
sho considers herself bound In duty to
back her ally. The fate of tho American
process therefore, is very uncertain,
although Germany probably, In tho
end, will be found Hiding with the
United States and England, which may
possibly turn thu scale. At present thu
whole attention of tho conference is con
tent! on the arbitration question.
Tho corrosoudeut says ho read the
Itusslan projHisltlon. It enacts that tho
conference ulndl choose live towers to Imj

Kiint a judge, the live constituting a

On tho other hand, it seems that nil
