dred prominent Masons of the west tc
Omaha.

of Nebraska Masons, has been chosen

Madison, Neb., Aug. 2G.-Special to
The News: The most severe and pro-
longed electrical storm ever witnessed
in this city occurred yesterday morn.
ing between and $3.50 o'clock. A
dark, heavy cloud had been noticed in
the north at about 3 o'clock, and was
watched with no little interest by quite
few, and at o'clock lightning and
thunder awOke those who had not no.
| ticed the cloud before. At s o'clock
| it broke loose with a vengeance.
Flash after flash of lightning and clap
after clap of thunder would follow each
other in rapid succession. Numerous
places were struck by lightning but
no serious damage was done with the
exception of the loss of Henry Peter
sons large new barn in West Madison.
Discover the Fire.
At about $50, during the most Sc
we're part of the storm, Henry Peter
son and family were sitting in the
house waiting for the storm to pass
over when Mr. Peterson noticed three
or his horses run past the window.
He wondered how the animals came
to be out in the storm and looking to
ascertain the reason, discovered the
building to be in a mass of flames.
Ross Wilberger, who is employed by
Steve Jones just across the street,
thought the bolt had struck some
where near by and looked out and
saw the smoke already coming out of
the barn. He at once went into the
| building and turned the horses loose
and was soon joined by Mr.. Peterson
and some of the near neighbors, but
they were only able to save a few sets
of harness besides the horses. About
fifteen tons of hay were burned. The
loss is estimated at about $1,000 with
an insurance of $500.
Lightning Plays Tag.
The flagpole on Jacob Henderson's
furniture store was splintered, the
main bolt glancing off and striking in
the street The residence of Herman
Crunkey in the south part of town,
was struck, the bolt passing down the
chimney and scattering the plaster and
splintering a few laths No one was
injured. At the residence of Jacob
Henderson the lightning passed into
the house by the wire route laying out
the electric lights The j. Nv. Jones
blacksmith shop was also victim, but
no damage was done.
Two of the telephone lines leading
north from town were put out Of COM
mission. No wind accompanied the
storm and the rainfall was not very
heavy.

EXPECT 500 TEACHERS HERE.
Next Springs Meeting of Northeast
Nebraska Pedaaoaues.

When the Northeast Nebraska
Teachers association comes to Nor
folk again next April it will, If the
intentions of the officers carry through
be an even more successful gathering
than last April's convention when Ais
teachers registered in Norfolk.
For one thing the association took
steps last spring to strengthen its fl
nances by raising the membership fee
from fifty cents to a dollar The in
crease will be a slight item in the
teachers expense account but it will
bring a stronger, better program.
1t is the desire of President Teed of
the association that United States Sen
ator LaFollette of Wisconsin be Sc
cured for the principal evening adj
dress delivered before the convention.
Steps will be taken to secure the ia
nous Wisconsin senator. Senator Dol.
liver of Iowa delivered the principal
address last year.
One innovation is being considered
this year in connection with the con
ventlon. 1t is proposed to hold the
annual high school declamatory con
test on the evening preceding the
opening of the convention. In this
case the teachers convention would
convene Thursday morning and re,
main in session until Saturday noon
| Friday morning special attention would
| be given to matters touching the ru
raj schools. In this way teachers who
| can only get away from their schools
for one day may still come to NorfolB
and have two days of the convention
County Superintendent f. S. Perdue
Of Madison, who was president OF the
association last year and who arranged
for last years big convention, has
! been in Norfolk this week and is en-
thusiastic over the prospects Of the
association meeting. Where 1872 teach
ers registered from Madison county
last year there will be $50 next spring
the Madison county superintendent
says. Mr.. Perdue was succeeded last
spring by County Superintendent A
" Teed of Ponca as president of the
association. All things point to the
coming of more than half a thousand
teachers to Norfolk next spring.
