A storm OF unusual intensity

A storm OF unusual intensity de-
scended upon northern Nebraska last
night, the storm reaching Norfolk
about o'clock The fiercest electric
al disturbance of the season was
shown, vivid flashes of lightning and
deep thunder claps following one an
other in quick succession. The wind
was strong, the rain fell in torrents
and much damage was done. South
of the city great quantities Of hail
fell, running the crops in a large
stretch of country. From Atkinson 1t
is reported that three inches of rain
fell in forty-fve minutes, and from
various parts of the section tributary
to Norfolk come stories of similar
ferocity on the part of the elements.
Hail Devastation.
A terrific hailstOrm visited the coun-
try south Of Norfolk and many crops
over a wide stretch of country are
completely ruined. The hailstOnes
were not large but tremendous guam
tity fell and in the short space Of
thirty minutes thousands of dollars
of damage was done. Drifts of the
icy particles two feet high were piled
there were drifts half that high.
Corn, potatoes, small grains and ev-
cry other growing crop suffered al
most total destruction. Some of the
later crops may recover partially, but
those that were maturing will he a
total loss to the farmers in the affect
ed district.
The storm commenced to have an
effect mile south of town and a
mile further south il left desolatiOn
in it's wake At the Willems farm two
miles south sixty acres of corn were
left without a stub standing. Oats
and potatoes and other crops are com
pletely pounded out and driven into
the ground and this morning drifts
of hail remain as reminders of the
that the Willems dairy herd of cattle
was driven through a wire fence as
though it was no barrier at all. The
wind whipped the hail around with
terrible force and buildings show the
marks Of it's fury.
The western edge Of the hail storm
damage was a mile and a half this
side Of the Maurice Carbery place,
eight miles south Of Norfolk, and
it seems to have vut through a
strip Of country at least five miles
deep south of the city, and how far
east it extended could not be learned
as the telephone system was some
what demoralized by the fierce cleo
trical disturbance and the wind and
hail.
In Norfolk there was little hail, but
the rain was terrific while it lasted
Only Sc of an inch Of water fell, but
it fell in so short a space of time that
streets were flooded for a short while
There was much lightning, which
struck trees in the city and caused
deafening bursts Of thunder. No dam
age was done by the lightning so far
as known today.

Communities in tn. Arctic.

1t is interesting to note the rate
at which new theories Of medical
science are reversing those that pre-
vailed a few years ago. Once when
the consumptive was told to seek a
change of climate be checked his trunk
to Florida or some other subtropical
section. But advanced views upon the
nature and treatment of the disease
have materially changed that. Dry
ness is much more important condi-
ton. than warmth. The patient can be
protected against cold, but against
moisture in the climate there is no de-
Tense except to run away from Ii. The
full force of extreme expression of the
reaction is illustrated by the fact that
a Washington physician proposes to
take about thirty consumptive patients
on a notwithstanding expedition to
Greenland this summer. - Boston
