During the same storm the residence
of Mrs. B. Silber in this city was struck
by a bolt of lightning doing little
damage to the house but shocked Mrs.
Silber and her daughter Sarah so they
both fell to the floor. They were in
the act of closing the bed room window
when it happened. The lightning
seems to play upon the walls all
through the sitting room into the
summer kitchen. 1t was close call
for all of them and they were badly
frightened.

wound was dressed by DR.. Bulge. 1t
was found necessary to amputate the
little toe, piece of the bone and flesh
along the foot, and about two-thirds of
the heel. Vincent was accompanied by

seldom seen in boys of his age.

SEVERE ELECTRICAL STORM.
Hans Berg Killed by Lightning and
Others Badly Scared.

The Twin Cities were visited by
severe electrical and rain storm Satur-
day night at about o'clock.
The home of Hans Berg, Centralia,
was visited by stroke of lightning at
this time and Mr.. Berg was killed
instantly. The lightning entered the
house by the chimney on the north
east corner. 1t passed downward and
into the upper chamber where it broke
out opposite of where MI and Mrs
Berg were lying in bed killing him
instantly and never touching her at all.
After passing through his body burn
ing his head, face and arm, it continued
downward through the bed into the
wall again and down into the ground.
1t set fire to the house but the
excessive rain put it out before any
damage was done. The other members
of the family were badly scared but
none of them were injured.
Mr.. Hanson Nelson Berg, was born
in Norway, August %, 1851 and was
IhC1S1oIV uCdlly IL SCfllo VI aye, Nso

A SPANISH PAPER E,lo;TED.

1t Says the Madrid Government should De-
 lnand an Explahation of Uncle sam.
 MADRID, Oct. 20. 0.--Commenting upon the statement contained in dispatch from Washington that President Cleve- land intends to intervene in Cuba in a manner tantamount to the recognition of the independence of the insurgents, the lmparcial declares that Spain ought to demand full explanation of the Washington government. 'She cannot brook such threat over her head,' continues the Imparcial, ''even for single day. By what right do the United States define the time for Spain to settle question of her internal ad- ministration? It must be affirmed by the whole world that the American government cannot impose any sort of terms upon us." The paper also de- nounces what it calls the United States fictitious neutrality"
