The Minister appealed to the State Department for help and re ceived word that the department ex tended its sympathy, but could give no aid. A steamship company gave the dead Consul’s family free trans portation home. Minister DuBoi?' attacks Congress for not making provision to meet such cases as McKernan’s.

Eight were killed at Sew ard, Nebr. The storm started in MoCool Junc tion. The home of Thomas Rlordan was blown into the river. All the members of the family were saved except one small child. Two persons were reported probably fatally hurt there, but the report could not be verified because of the crippled wire service. The heaviest damage w’as Inflicted in the town of Seward. A path more than 100 yards wide was swept by the twister. Four blocks of residences were wrecked, but the business dis trict was left untouched. Stores Turned Into Hospitals. Stores were turned into hospitals, and injured persons were being cared for there by a trainload of physicians and nurses sent from Lincoln. The path of the cyclone was 100 yards to half a mile wide and nearly 50 miles long. At Tamora several houses were wrecked and indefinite reports were received stating that there had been loss of life there. There was no means of confirming the reports. Latest advices from Lushton, Uti ca and Grafton said there were no deaths in those towns, although the cyclone destroyed several houses. No reports were obtained from the rural districts, where all 4he wires were torn down. It was feared more deaths would be reported when communica tion was restored. Fans Flee Ball Game.

Lincoln McConnell, noted evangelist and lecturer, who has been called to the pulpit of the Baptist Tabernacle, In a telegram to The Georgian Thursday morning de clared himself highly pleased with the invitation, but undecided as to whether he can accept or not. The Rev.

Pleased, but Undsoided. The Rev. Mr. McConnell’s telegram to The Georgian follows: The Georgian: “Your wire is news to me. Am highly honored. Impossible to say what I can do now, as I am booked far ahead In lyceum and evangelistic work. I love Atlanta and will see w hat arrangements I can make. “LINCOLN M’CONNELL.” The call followed a meeting of the members of the church Tuesday eve ning at which the Rev. Mr. McCon nell’s name was unanimously accept ed. The pastor is 47 years old. Since going into evangelistic and lecture work he has had no place of resi dence, although he owns 1,100 acres near Thomaston, Ga., where he and hi* family spend a great part of their time. Called Ideal Pastor. From his decided vigorous manner and enthusiasm, the Rev. Mr. Mc Connell is regarded as an Ideal man to handle the enormous w’ork de manded by the pastorship of a church as large as the Tabernacle with something over 1,200 on its member ship list. Except for his connection with the Wesley Memorial Methodist Church, he has not been pastor of any large churches In the country. However, he h^s become one of the most suc cessful men in the evangelistic and lecture field. Personally, he is a man greatly liked and admired by the preachers of Atlanta.
