Dr. Brandt of Chi- %0, Presbyterian mission board sec- retary, at Westminstor ohurch yester day morning Just as the heavens loosened their batteries of hall and bombarded Omahe The church roof vibrated and then trembled while the roar of ice upon the edifice drowned the tones of the min- ister. Some hail stones shattered a sky- Hght and struck some of the worship- ers on thelr héads. The congregation, however, waited without leaving their seats till the minister could proceed Mr. Brandt was speaking of world movements now under way and after mentioning the Europsan war he prop- helsed that other manifestations of the divine presence would be felt. M. P. Gould, who owns an extensive vineyard at 5402 Ames avenue, suffered # loss of approximately $600 from the hail. Toaves and small branchas are scat- terod thickly over the streets and side- walks in the West Farnam district and In Dundee as & result of the hail, but aside from a few windows being broken no wertous damage resalted. Benson seems 1o have been more severely handled and chickens were reported killed, many windows wero broken and soveral green houses In the vicinity were fioft almost completely without glass, that of O. C. Knudsen being almost completely wrecked. The hall storm yestorday 444 some damago to the roof of the dancing pa~ villon at the Fleld club, tearing away some of the shingles and causing some leaks.

Anselmo Has New Big Building Boom ANSELMO, Neb, July 18.—(Special.)- Anselmo ls experiencing quite a boom in bullding business. Following the fire which deatroyed its home last November, the People's State bank began planning for a permanent home. This bullding, absolutely fireproof, is almost ready for occupancy. Early in the spring T. P. Maroney erected & modern one-story brick 5x80 on his lots next to the Ancient Order of United Workmen bulldin, on part of the ground that burnt over in November. The large livery barn on the corner of E. Smith avenue and Scott strest owned by Mrs. Almeda Elder and ocoupled by B, A. Kirkpatrick was ontirely re- modeled Into a garage. About stx weeks ago & number of the members of the local Masonic lodge ‘The bullding is to be of brick to conform closely to modern ideas house constructions. It is to Arvvange for Institute, struction in Richardson county, but not least, & new modern ding is to be erected this sum- the school district voted amount of §11,00 for this STHLLA, Neb., July 18—(Special.)—D. H. Weber, superintendent of public in- hes started preltminary arrangements for the teachers’ institute for 1916, one year henoce, held In Omaha this week, were broken by the hail. In every string several bulbs were broken and will have to be re- placed. Large street ares also were broken by the haflstones in many parts of the city, and downtown electric signs suffered greatly. Last night when the current was turned on most of the signs downtown flashed abbreviated advertise- ments, with the dark spots here and there Indicating where the bulbs had been shattered C. L. Mather, mayor of Benson, declares that haflstones fell in his village as large as hen's eggs. Some of them were five inches in cireumference. Window lights In the three Benson pub- lie schools and In the new city hall, especiaily on the east sides of the bulld- ings, were broken by the huge haflstones, Oharles Bonde, who conducts a green- house at 5314 Military avenue, reports that every window light in his establish- ment was broken, and that the total dam- age, Including that to the plants within, amounts to $500. Paul Foth, 5108 Burt street, reports that three-fourths of the windows in his greenhouse were broken and that the heavy rain also caused the backing up of the sewer. He estimates the total damage to his plant at $1,000. In Omaha proper the hallstorm started about 11:30 as@ continued to after 12 o'clock. Many Omahans were in church at the time, and when they were ready to start home their only difficulty was the subsequent rain. At Forty-ninth and Dodge streets, just as the hallstorm began, a man appeared driving & horse and bug In order to protect the defenscless horse from the hall, pedestrians who had scrambled to shelter emerged from the drug store at the corner and led the horse into the covered vestibule at the front entrance. ‘The horse stood there in the entrance of the store until the storm was over. Just 875 electric light lampe were broken at Charley Franke's Alrdome at Thirtieth and Farnam streets. The lights were a part of the entrance and decorations and only about five globes survived the at- tack of the hallstones.

The city had but to spend on It and all bids were excess of this sum. The Alamo people I order to get within the 16,000 limit, eliminated the electrolier part and their bld was accepted. According to tho street 26,00 far in eity attorney, the council had no right to eliminate anything from the plans tn order to accept the bid. All bids were therefore rejected and Engineer Sturte- vant of Holdrege was Instructed to pre- Pare a new set of plans Including an electrolier system.

PINCH OF STRIKE BEING FELT LONDON, July 17.—The members of the executive council of the South Wales Coal Miners’ organization, who came to London to confer with Wal- ter Runciman, president of the Board of Trade, have returmed to Cardiff, having found it impossible to reach a basis for new negotiations in the coal dispute. There is now no hope of ther men returning to work before the middie of next week, if they do then. Already some Indus- tries in SBouth Wales are being ham- pered by a shortage of coal. Besidea thelr original terms, of which the principal demand was a 6 per cent ialse In wages, the men now insist on | the cancellation of the royal proclama- tion bringing miners under the ‘‘no- strike's” act. Meantimo the tribunal set | uUp under this measure is preparing to the procession and a hundred bands played act and unless the meeting of miners’ delegates to be held In Cardiff Monday, | to recelve a receipt of the legislative councll regarding their visit to London, thows some sign of compromise, the tri- bunal will commence sessions to try the men guiity of striking. In order to conserve the coal supplies steps are being taken fo prevent any | leaving the ocountry, Neutral steamers bereafter will be allowsd only sufficient | coml to carry them to their first port, | and exports are being strictly curtailed BAD HAIL STORM HITS OMAHA WITH A TERRIFIC FORCE| (Continuea from Tage One.) iwenty-five panes of wlass In the two greenhouses, sixty feet wide and 1,000 feet long, were broken, making a total area of 156,000 square feet of shattered giass. The value of the broken glass is between $12,000 and $15,000, and the balance of the loss was inflicted upon the plants. Hall insurance to the amount of about §12,008, or the market price of the giass, was carried. The storm came across the oountry from the northwest about noon. It gave plenty of warning of its approach, emit- ting a roar that was heard more than half an hour before the first hailstones began to patter on the ground. While all of Council Bluffs was within the hail belt, little or no damage was done. The hall was small with only an occasional pellet blg enough to do damage. The Wil- cox greenhouses in the oity and those ot Herman Brothers, Meyers, Lainson and others, escaped with the loss of only a few hundred panes. The swath of heavy hail passed directly over Manawa. There was little wind and the hail de-| scended in straight lines. None of the glass on the sides of the Wilcox houses was damaged, but everything in the roof was pulverized. The houses are devoted entirely to the oulture of roses. The stock was hammered by the hait and cut up by the flying glass, and there was scarcely a plant that escaped damage. Street cars that were at Manawa at the time show the pounding everything re- celved. Holes were broken in the roofs end the woodwork dented and scarred. M wa Is Hit, In Manawa park the ground was cov- ered with leaves and small twigs from the trees. Boughs more than half an inch in diameter were broken off, cut as if by bullets. ‘The storm continued straight southeast and reports show that the area was more than tem miles long. From Manawa southeastward farm crops were battered down, corn and small grain belug almost destroyed. Losses that may approxi- mate many thousand dollars were in- flicted upon the fruit farms east of Coun- efl Bluffa. All of them, however, were outside the area of greatest devastation, but there were hallstones plentiful enough and big enough to inflict damage that was last evening estimated to approxi- mate from one-quarter to one-half of the grape crop and still heavier loss to blackberries and raspberries. Apples were also badly damaged, and tn some orchards apparently not an apple escaped. At the Heas farm, three miles south- east of the Bluffs, the hail fell for only a few moments, but the missiles were of enormous size. After the storm Mrs. Hess picked up one that measured five inches In circumference. The Hess farm was just In the northern edge of the big hail area. At the Dorland, Rich and Avery fruit farms the loss to grapes and blackberries was placed above 60 per cent of the total crop. As the annual recelpts of the Grape Growers' assoclaiion exceeds $100,000 for grapes and berries in the autumn, the seriousness of the disaster is apparent, as many of the largest vine- yards and orchards are within the dan- ger area. In vineyards lying further south the loss was more nearly completa. In the Dorland vineyard, one of the finest in the vichity of the Bluffs, the loss to the grapes was placed above 0 per cent. Farmers report the corn cut up very badly, but are oconfident it wili make & quick recovery and suffer but little. DEATH RECORD. Mrs, Rosa Bernard.

THEY OALL ON LLOYD GFA)BGEl LONDON, July 18-—Enormous |erowds of women thronged Victoria :emblnkmenl today, despite a driz zling rain, to participate in the women's procession voleing the do-| mand that the British government utilize women in the work of making ammunition and in replacing the men. \ It s estimated that 60,000 marchers, led | by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social Political union, | were in the ranks, which contained many | |titled women, including Lady Colebrooik | and Lady Knolls and Mre. Waldort | Astor. The main body was made up of groups | representing France, Russia, Japan, Serbla and Poland In national costumes. Thousands of Banners Fly. Thousands of banners were borne in stirring music. Some of the insoriptions on the banners read: “Shells made by | @ wife may save a husband,” ‘‘Briti women will beat the German women," “Women will save England.” The main thoroughfares of the oity were packed and the marchers were given an enthuslastic greeting. The women proceeded to the ministry of mu- nitions, Where the demands of the march- ers were presented to David Lioyd George, the head of the department. The minister of munitions told the deputation of women that something like 5,000 women already were working at various factories in the production of munitions. It was not & question of competition between male and femalo | Iabor, he said, but of getting men and | women to work together to help the country through the worst crisis it has experienced. First Thing Necessary. The first thing, continued Mr. Lloyd George, was to get an adequate supply of machinery and tools, and the govern- ment was assuming the control of all machine and tool making establishments in the country. Women who come for- ward to serve must give their whole time. There must be real national orga~ nization for all women Who are pre- pared to take up munition work. Bocondly, added the minister, there must be a sufficlent number of women tratned to direct and Instruct others. In regard to wages, women would be paid the same plece-rate as men and all establishments will be under government control, while the governmont would see that there was no “sweated labor.” Without women, he declared, victory would tarry victory which tarried meant victory ‘“whose footprints were footprints of blood.” How to Heal Skin-Diseases A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive home treatment for people suffering with ecgema. ring- ‘worm, rashes and similar itching, burn- ing skin troubles. At any reliable druggist's get a jar of resinol ointment and a cake of resinol soap. These are not a{ all expensive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affeoted parts thoroughly, une til they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of resinol oint- ment, and cover with a light bandage— | if necessary to protect the elothing. This should be done twice a day. Us- ually the distresaing itching and burn- ing stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becemes clear and healthy again.
