The storm was Of the true tornado
type, travelling slowly ahead but in
the center Whirling with almost in
credible velocity. The track of great
est violence was from one hundred
fifty feet to a couple of hundred yards
in width, though there is evidence Of
high winds on both sides of the main
track. Hail fell, in some places meas
uring as much as SKI inches, Oblong
and flat in shape. 1t is fortunate that
but few dwellings were directly in this
storm center, else there must have been
some loss of life.
George Sherwood and his family ,liV-
ing mile west Of Reedsburg, barely
escaped death by rushing into the Gel
lar just as the wind struck the house.
The barns of John and Thomas Babb
were demolished as were also several
other buildings. Two exhibit buildings
at the fair grounds were destroyed and
the horse sheds were torn to splinters.
The loss near Reedsburg may amount

Many Dead in Western Wisconsin.

are dead at Oakdale, Millston, Neills-
Vile and other places. On the Fourth
of July Mrs. Fred Nelson of North
Freedom, received a telegram from

and her sister, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Dame, had been killed by the storm at
their home at Oakdale. Mr.. Nelson
and son, Thomas, went from North
Freedom to OakdaIe as soon as the tele-
gram wcs received. Oakdale was al
most swept away.
A freight train on the Milwaukee
road raced with the storm for miles
and the cyclone came so close at one
time that the roofs from two box cars
were lifted into the air.

The department Of schools az Charles
ton reports that the county super
Intendents are reporting unprecedented
numbers taking the examination at the
May examinations. It is now thought
that the total number 10 try for teach
ers' certificates or for higher grades
during the present examination will
not be far from $500. Roane county
has already reported. showing that the
200 mark was exceeded there. and II
the rest Of the counties average the
same the state department will have
good reasons TO feel jubiiant. The fact
that many Of the school districts in
the state have found It necessary TO pay
living wages for teachers or let their
school houses remain closed is believed
to have had some effect in bringing out
many applicants for teachers, certifi-

The Normal Schools.

The idea advanced by the Tele-
gram few weeks ago that there
ought to be a real normal school or
perhaps two in this State is meeting
with popular favor, the papers gem
orally throughout the State, except
a few. falling ardently into line.
They all now admit the fact that the
State has no normal schools and that
those now called normals are mere
high schools or academies, thus
agreeing with the Hon. A. B. White
in his first biennial message as gov
ernor Of the State.
1t was also suggested by the Tele-
gram that these so-called normal
schools might be converted into high
schools within the control of the
communities they are located in and
no longer be State institutions. They
are not what they have been suppos-
ed to be.in connection with the free
schools of the state-normals. such
as VIII turn out teachers, and there
is no good reason why the State
should support a high school at Fair
mont and other places and not do the
same thing in most all the counties,
and, to support such schools in all
the counties or most of them would
he more expensive than the State
could stand.
Thus, it seems best to establish one
or two actual normal schools of the
highest degree and arrange to turn
over the present schools to the com
munities they are in, hut even then
the State should be reimbursed as
it would be unfair to give Marion
or some other county something
free at the expense Of the other
counties. II that cannot be done,

Mrs. McKinley's, Life.

All that was mortal of Mrs. Ida
Mckinley, the beloved widow OF the
sainted President william Mckinley,
will be consigned to the grave tcmor-
row, with services as tender as
were the human sympathy and love
of this cherished woman. In her
simple but elegant life there was
every thing to elevate the home. OF
such noble character, of such purity
of thought, Of such devotion to hus-
band and friends. and OF such con-
scientious religious faith she was d
notable example of true American
womanhood.
The lovely married life that she
and her illustrious husband led be-
gan to leave its impress on the public
mind from the moment his political
successes brought them into the eye
of first his own State and then the
Nation both as Congressman and
President. Though deprived by
affliction from entering into the ac-
tive functions OF social life at the ma
tional capital, the highest degree Of
culture and refinement she possessed
and the loneliness of disposition, so
sunny in all her life, easily made her
a fayorite and none knew her but to
love her.
The affinity between President and
Mrs. Mckinley was a romance of
welded life well worthy the attention
of the poets, but it was more than a
romance. It was real and where one
was the other must be to be content,
and together they were as happy as
lovers of young days. They never
forgot that they were sweethearts
and truly played the part all through
their lives in a manner that was real,
unconsciously no doubt setting an ex-
ample that must lead, indeed, has al
ready led to happier homes with 9TH
ers.
Hallowed in the memory of every
pure home will be this couple whose
faith was intertwined in the hearts
of two as true members of American
society as ever God gave breath.
