A Severe Hail Storm.

One of the most extensive hail
storms that has visited this
county in many years if ever,
struck the country west of here
last Monday evening. From in
formation we have been able to
gather,it extended from the south
part of Ortello Valley to Oconto,
a distance of thirty miles, vary
ing in width from 2 to 7 miles.
In that scope fortunately the de-
struction was not complete.
Some farms sustained a total loss
while Others escaped with slight
damage. The storm appears tc
have been especially severe on
the West Table. John WHEELING
who lives eighteen or twenty
miles west of the city was il
town Tuesday with samples Of
the condition of the crops on his
place. He says the small grair
was fiat and corn badly broken of
and stripped. Humphreys farm
near Ryno was in the course o.
the storm and we understand
nothing is left. John Conle,
from near Oconto, and Judge
Boblits on the Loup are reported
to have had the crops badly dam
aged. Elmer Johnson near tn,
foot OF the table had taken hi:

TALKED OF A SITE
Board of Education Held
interesting Meeting
Yesterday.

The board of education held very
interesting meeting in their rooms at
the court house yesterday morning.
Owing to the fact that the teachers
examination does not occur until June
u, the election of teachers, which was
scheduled to lake place yesterday,
was postponed until the meeting of
the beard in Iuly.
The matter of selecting a site for
the rOl oseQ new school building in
New Town was also gaken up and dis
cusscd by the board, but no definite
decision was reached.
The board is now considering two
sites-one just adjacent the st. Jude's
church on E street and the other near
Orange park
Both OF these sites are very suita-
; lie for school building and it is
believed that the board Will finally
decide on one Of them
, The site next to st. Judes church
seems to be favored by the members
and it is probable that theschool will
be erected there.
The matter will be taken up and
