A STORM on THE PRAIRIE.
Vivid Picture of IA Terrible but Enhancing
Scene.

Letter in the Omaha Bee: There is one
thing beyond mans control, and the grand
eur Of a prairie storm can only he lma1-
ined by those who have seen it or wit
messed n storm at sea. Such n storm
swept over the prairies in August last.
The morning was warm and bright, but
shortly after noon there came an undefna-
bic change. The sun still shone but it's
rays threw an altered light, and brought
the prairie flowers into brighter relief,
while il cast a darker shadow where shad-
ows fell. Away toward the horizon the
wayering glimmer that curtained the
meeting place of sky and plain became
more tangible, and q thin, black line
framed the landscape. Gradually 1t grew
broader and higher, and as ii oyerlapped
the bright blue sky the birds flew hurriedly
from before it and such cattle as were in
sight drew closer together for protection.
Gusts of wind that shook the train fol-
lowed each other at intervals that grew
shorter and shorter, and the frame of black
was once and awhile iliumined with flashes
o. summer lightning, which. rs they came
nearer, threw heavy banks OF sulphurous-
looking clouds into bold relief. Still
there was no rain, and the thunder of the
train was all that broke the stiffness. For
nearly two hours the clouds maintained the
same slow approach, and left the spectator
to run fancy free and imagine the out
stretched fingers of some great ghoul TO be
slowly closing in to crush him. SO
strong did the feeling become that the
more nervous passengers drew back and
shuddered at each succeeding gust, whilo
others gathered round windows and gazed.
fascinated, at the coming storm. At last
it came. One huge cloud shot out from
the approaching bank. and for n moment
poised in mid mir. Fleecy clonds, hat
looked CHASTITY by contrast, hung round it
like fringes on a funeral pail, till with a
crash that Outweighed the roar Of the train
it seemed to be rent In We with one
streak OF fire that turned the entire cloud
into gold. From that on and for nearly an
hour 1t was one continuous rumble, broken
occasionally with a sharper crush, and ac-
companied by the patter Of the rain that
fell in torrents. Both sheet and forked
lightning played continuously and while
the former turned tho clouds from black
ness into light the latter seemed to rend
them in fragments and stand out in lines
of fire for seconds nj a time. At last it
passed away. and the Pickering flames that
lllnmined the southern horizon seemed
like the yollev-fring Of a retreating army;
but so great was the eXpanse of prairie
that they wero never lost sight Of. but
again grew more vivid until eighty miles
further west the storm again crossed the
track, moving %northward with diminishing
force. Slowly as 1t seemed 10 travel it ad
