8ss~ Friend Hamilton, of the Marysville Tri-
bunc in lengthy article describing the various
battle grounds and forts on the banks of the Mau-
NEE river, says
"Old Fort Maumee, the British post under the
guns OF which the Indians took SHELTER at their
defeat by Wayne at PreSque Isle is still easily
traced. 1t is on the north bank of the Maumee
just below Maumce City aud Perrysburg."
We have lived here over three years. and vet
have never seen odd Fort Maumee" The editor
of the Tribune evidently aludes to Fort Miami,
which is within the corporate limits of Maumce
City, and opposite the eastern part of Perrysburg
Fort MeigS on this side of the river, is just with
out the western limits of our corporation being
distant about two miles from Fort Miami The
former was occupied by General HARRISON and
the latter by the British and Indians. Cannon
balls, bayonets, and many other memcntoes Of the
past are still collected by citizens and visitors and
preserved with religious care. A half hour
search in the vicinity of Fort Meigs will generally
secure some token of the deadly strife which con-
tributed largely to the final success of the Ameri
can arms in the war of 1912.

The whirlwind in Ellison. Illinois.

The shape aud course Of the whirlwind which
destroyed the village Of Ellison is thus described
in the Chicago Tribune:
On Sunday evening, the S0lh Of May, about
five o'clock, the residents of South Prairie no.
ticed a funnel-shaped cloud the fan or tail about
five hundred feet wide moving with almost in.
conceivable rapidity from west TO east aud so
near the surface of the ground that at times il
seemed TO strike the earth aud rise again. The
cloud was black, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, hail and rain. Its extreme length was
not over six or eight hundred feet and its thick.
ness only some fifty feet. aud those who wit
messed its progress state that at times they
could see that the air was apparently undisturb.
ed and clear above and below it.
This storm-fend--we know of no bet name
for the devastating cloud-destroyed fourteen
houses in South Prairie, killing and woundiug a
number of persons, and at few minutes past
five o'clock burst with the fury of demon up
on Ellison, destroying every building but four,
killing seven persons outright and injuring cve-
ry other inhabitant 1t then rose and passed on
to the east, striking the earth again within the
distance of three miles, destroying q few fences,
then rose again high in the air and passed out OF
sight.
The force of this whirlwind can be gained
The account says
1he nrst building struck was two story
frame house of Mr. Joseph Knowles. This was
lifted from its foundation. whirled around two
or three times in the cloud, and carried across
the street, where it burst into small fragments
and its contents were torn into shredS and 81
scattered that not even yard of fgocds has bser
! found,
! The next house DESTROYED was Dr. Yoho's, 0
large frame structure. IL was carried to the op
poslte side of the street, lifted high into the ali
and shattered into thousand pieces.
In this manner twenty-three dwellings, two
stores, and the warehouse were utterly DESTROYED
and so rapidly was this done that no time wa,
offered the terror stricken inhabitants to escape
rom their homes. So thoroughly complete was
the destruction that not vestige of the houses
or contents remains, save scattered boards unt
timber', and here and there fragment of gar
ment or broken piece Of furniture. One of tn,
residents whom We saw searching for their scat
tered goods, informed us that he had been una
BILE to recognize among the ruins anything tha
he had owned, Another said he was quite Ger
tain that nothing of his had escaped total des
truotion.

Tho meeting at the School House last Friday
night was unusually large, and much interest was
manifested
Soon after those assembled were called 20 order
by the Clerk Of the Board, I. p Thompson, it
was stated that the meeting had been improperly
called, and twas suggested that it should adjourn
without transacting business The law requires
twenty days notice to be given before tax can
be levied and the Board had only given eight
days notice of the meeting and did not specify its
object farther than to elect two members Of the
Board TO serve for three yeurs. The meeting
decided to transact all business that could be le-
gally transacted that night and have another
meeting at future time to fix upon the amount
to be raised by taxing the school district.
The Clerk thereupon read the Annual Report
of the Board, which, after some remarks, was re.
ferred to committee of three, consisting of S.
Jefferson, ]. IL. Reid, and Addison Smith, with
instructions to examine its contents and report
thereon at the next meeting
A judge, two clerks, and two tellers were up.
pointed, and those present proceeded to the cleo
ton of two members of the Board. George
Powers and G. B. Kreps were chosen by very
decided vote. We regard the selection as emf
nenty judicious both of the successful candidates
beng in every way qualified to properly discharge
the duties of the office.
We have not learned when the next meeting
will be held. We presume it will be advertised
in the Democrat.
