BRooKFIELD's YOUNG TORNADO.

BROOKFIELD'S YOUNG TORNADO.
Although the shower of last Thu. sday
was not generally serious, yet there were
some quite windy streaks, one of which,
passing over the house and yard of e. N.
Hawley showed all the characteristics of
the tornado type of storms; in fact
might be termed young tornado. The
first unusual appearance was dense
cloud of dust from 200 to 800 feet high,
whirling and advancing rapidly, coming
from o few points north of west. No
damage appears to have been done till
near the house, where it uprooted large
apple tree, striking a vigorous and
healthy black walnut northwest of the
house, nearly all the limbs on that side
were driven into the the tree or broken
off and carried with the wind. A large
maple south of the house was literally
wrecked. But few limbs were left on
the tree. Branches IA inches in dia me-
ter were broken off like pipe stems. The
yard was filled with broken limbs and
the fence was hardly to be found. 1t
seemed TO spend it's fury upon these trees,
though it's track could be traced for a
| long distance by broken and upfooted
| trees. An old hen was caught in the
whirl and carried to quite an elevation
before getting out. Mr. Hawley and son
| had narrow escape, as they were just
coming home with the cows when the
wind struck the trees, the larger limbs
| falling across the road between them
and the cows. One of the strong lorna.
do features was the whirl which carried
some of the branches from three to four
hundred feet at right angles to the gen
eral direction OF the storm, and lbs path
which was not over rs feet. wide, not
twig being broken from the adjoining
trees.

The Congregational Sunday school
was favored with ideal weather for It's
picnic on Tuesday and the gathering at
Taunton lake proved very enjoyable to
all concerned. The attendance was
about 225. The long tables, seating 100,

provisions to spare. After dinner there

singing. Rev Mr. Barker made happy

Wallace has another engine which he uses
for making ice cream and other purposes
where steam power is required. 1t is
unnecessary to say that the hotel has an
excellant cuisine, and every appointment
for the pleasure and convenience of
guests. Miss Hinman remains another
season and looks after the interests of the
guests as usual. The dock which was
washed away last season has been re-
placed and made more substantial than
ever. The feet of boats, over 40 in num-
Der, have been reprinted, and are second

been made for the use Of Nebraska dirt.

cred a method for rectifying Indian

substitute for olive oil II is not gen
orally known that under the new mill
ing process the kernel is degermed be-
fore manufacture into -four or meal OF
other food products. This little germ.
containing the life properties Of the
corn kernel also contains a rancid oil
that taints and gives an unwholesome
flavor to corn food products when not
removed. The crude oil is thus thrown
on to the corn millers IN large quantities.
and until this discovery they have had
no method for successfully treating it.
hence il was valueiess because Of its
rancid nature.
Mrs. Emma c. Sickles, now attending
