WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
GREAT DAMAGE IN COUNTRY
Farm Houses, Barns and Tobacco
Sheds Are Carried Away and Trees
Uprooted-Mrs Michael Bilse Of
Burke Injured-The Storm in the
City-Many Buildings Struck.
Madison, Nav 10.

MdulSOn, May IL.
Tie storm of Monday afternoon was
one of the most general and severe in
this section in years. Great damage
was done throughout the county but
owing to the Gripping of the means
of communication few details can be
given. In the city of Madison a half
dozen buildings suffered from light
ming or wind but the country districts
Jared worse. The greatest destruc-
ton is reported from the town of
Burke, where half dozen farm houses
were blown away and Mrs. Michael
Bilse, wife of a prominent farmer, very
severely if not fatally injured. The
Bilse family had sought refuge in the
cellar of the house and Mrs. Bilse was
coming from the barn near by when
she was picked up by the wind and
carried over 100 feet. When found she
was unconscious and it was discovered
that she had her left arm and two
ribs broken. She also sustained inter-
nal injuries. AS she is Sc years old,
topes for her recovery are slight.
In the town of Deerfield number of
barns and tobacco sheds were carried
away and some farm houses damaged.
Huge trees were uprooted and horse
was carried 200 yards. The damage
was great but reports are meager. It
will be miraculous if there has not
been some loss of human life.
Considerable damage is reported
from Middleton. The barn of John
Lappley was struck by lightning and
burned, the owner, however, succeed
ing in getting his horses out.
The storm struck Madison about 3
O'Clock, the wind blowing a high
gale. 1t was accompanied by consider
able thunder and lightning and Sc
we're hailstorm. The hailstones were al
most as large as mans fist, some be-
ing nearly two inches in diameter.
Many trees about town were badly
damaged. One of the mammoth ice
houses of the Knickerbocker COM
pany on Lake Monona was unrOofed
and otherwise damaged. The barn OF
Peter Farmer in West Madison was
struck by lightning, out was not de-
stroyed. Olson's saloon, near the
Winnebago street junction, was also
struck. A numper OF men mad taken
refuge therein and one OF them, Tom
my" Good, farmer, was hurled to the
floor and severely shocked. Rentsch-
ler's greenhouse, in the sixth ward, had
nearly 80 windows broken by the hail
and the plants suffered some injury.
The university authori, les state that
vegetation is not far enough advanced
to have been much damaged though
fruit trees may have suffered The
damage to vegetation, they say, is very
greatly outweighed by the benefit
which the rain will prove. Consider
able fright was caused by the funnel
shaped aspect of the clouds betoken-
ing the breaking Of the storm. By 6
o'clock the skies were almost perfect
ly clear but later another storm broke
and wind and rain continued at inter-
walls throughout the night.
The 7:45 train from Milwaukee on
the Northwestern road was somewhat
delayed, while the De Kalb train,
which arrives about 8 o'clock, had
most of it's windows broken.

FLOWER BALL.

! Youth, in the summer of all its gay
i ness, with faces lighted to smiles by
! the candle of joy, reveled in music,
mirth and merriment at the Elmwood
ball room Tuesday evening last. The
! occasion was the Children's Flower
Ball given by Prof. r. l.. Northcutt,
marking successful closing of his
dancing school. The ballroom was
, tastefully decorated with flags and
evergreens, and the scene, as the chill
dren marched ip, was, indeed, beauti-
full one. The costumes of the girls
were unusually pretty, each represent
ing flower; the boys wore colored
costumes after the Colonial fashion,
with white wigs. The following pro-
gram, interspersed with waltzes, two
steps, minuets and schottishes, was
we'll and creditably rendered:
Grand Floral Procession-Led by
Master Jackson Dick and Miss Blanche
Hirsch
Skirt Dance-Miss Blanche Hirsch.
La Petit Butterfiy-Miss Idelle Legg.
Highland Polka-Master Dave Love.
Highland Fling-Master Jackson Dick
TambOrine Dance-Miss Bertha Banks
Japanese Dance-Misses Linda Ed
wards, Virginia Crosby, Eva Clark
Flay Lawhon.
Little Miss Snow Flake-Master Jack
son Dick
Each participant executed his or her
part with beauty and grace, keeping
perfect time in rhythmic motion to the
music. The grand floral procession
was especially beautiful. Both boys
and girls in pretty costumes, each
holding above their shead half hoop
profusely decorated in bright flowers,
going in and out, winding this way and
that, correctly executing intricate fig
ures, passing in review beneath the
white rays of electric lights, appeared as
if they were huge flowers, swinging to
and fro at the command of gentle
breeze in tropical sunlight.
A novel feature of the evening. and
one that caught the crowd, was the
dancing of Master Jackson Dick, as
Little Miss Snow Flake. With face
and hands BACKED, short calico dress
and white sunbonnet, he we'll carl
catured the modern female pickaninny.
To the tune of a jig step, he ''cut the
buzzard lope" and did the >'pigeon
wing" in true Ethiopian style.
Prof. NOrthcutt is an excellent teach
err, and, of course, himself beautiful
dancer, and the large number present
were free in their expressions of how
beautifully and gracefully each scholar
under his care had been taught to be-
come follower and devotee of Terp-
sichore. Jr.
