STORM SWEEPS STATE.
Greatest Damage Done in Country
Near Madison and MaZOsnanie.

Greatest Damage Done in Country
Near Madison and MazOsnanie.
Many sections of the State were swept
by a storm of almost tornado proportions
Monday afternoon. George Bull j., aged
6 years, son of George Bull, ST., Of Sun
Prairie, was crushed to death beneath a
barn, where he and several other children
had taken refuge At Mazomane a car
penter named William Roysteon was
struck by flying timbers when the storm
struck a barn on which he and three
others were working. He died from his
injuries. The other three were badly
hurt. The storm passed northward from
MaZomanie in a narrow path and did
considerable damage to farm buildings,
telephone and telegraph lines. Advices
from Beaver Dam, Kilbourn. Eagle, Port
age and Wausau indicate that the storm
was the most severe in years. Thomas
Wood, a man employed by G. d. Olds at
Eagle, was blown down and severely in
jured. At Baraboo the storm tore of
roofs, uprOoted trees and wrecked a num-
Der of barns. A small cyclone visited the
country between Dale and Medina, and
destroyed the Medina Lutheran church,
located about midway between the two
villages. The church was lifted off the
foundation and moved about fifteen feet
and again set down, but not until it had
been badly wrecked. The cyclone was
followed by terrific dOwnpour of rain.
A feature of the wind and rain storm in
Oshkosh was the phenomenal water spout
which appeared on the Fox river between
the West Algoma and the Wisconsin
avenue bridges about 3 40 o'clock. A
column of water about twenty feet high
and about five feet in diameter rose in a
solid column. When the water broke
there was a gale of wind in the nature of
a small tornado and lumber pile and
billboard in the vicinity were blown away.
No other damage was done. Just previ-
Gus to the appearance of the water spout
the barometer took drop of a quarter
of an inch, indicating tornado conditions.

BLAZE AT BRENTWOOD.

Several business Houses Destroyed
by Fire Which Started in Saloon.
A disastrous fire which threatened to
annihiIate the entire village of Brentwood,
destroyed several business places and resi-
dences. The fire started in the Spalding
saloon and spread to the Peterson res
taurant, destroying the restaurant and
also the proprietor's residence and con-
fectionery store. The store of A. Wises,
adjoining the Spalding saloon on the other
side, was burned above the cornices. The
citizens worked hard to save the Starin
residence, occupied by Mrs. Noyes. 1t
was saved from complete ruin.

Most of the logs which John F. Dietz
has been holding up at Cameron dam for
three years will arrive in Chippewa Falls
soon through the Chippewa river. The
logs were hauled overland from the
Thornapple river to the Flambeau river
last winter by w. e. Moses of Mortified

of logs, belonging to the Mississippi River
Logging Company, above Cameron dam.

FIRE AT NEW CoELN.
Catholic Church and Parish House
Destroyed.

Catholic Church and Parrish HOUSE
Destroyed.
The Catholic church of New Coeln, con-
sidered one of the finest country churches
in the State, and the parish house adj
joining, were ruined by fire early on a re-
cent morning. The cause is unknown.
The church and parish house, which are
valued at $4,000, were insured The
flames had gained such Roadway when
discovered that the few inhabitants of
New Coeln could do nothing to save the
buildings from destruction. Nothing re-
mains now of the two edifces except the
partially crumbled walls. 1t is believed
by Rev. J. Oberle, pastor of the church,
that the fire started in the sacristy, where
it found good material in infammable

chicken SHOW

CHELAN COUNTY POULTRY ASSO.
CATION MAKING ARRANGE
MENTS FOR BIG EXHIBIT MID.
DIE OF JANUARY.

It is expected by the management
of the Chelan County Poultry Associa-
ton that the most successful show in
the history of the organization will
be given this winter, the dates prob
ably being from January II to Is.
The executive committee is composed
of C. E. Buttles, A. A. Bousquet, D.
N. Payton, H. Heidenhain, W. A.
Grant and J. N. Johnson.
AS the citizenship of the valley in
creases there is greater interest
taken in the raising of thoroughbred
poultry and last winter the character
of the exhibit was very high, and
Harry Collier, the chicken expert who
came in from Tacoma to Judge the
show, stated that nowhere in the state
could a better grade of poultry be
found than here in Wenatchee.
There are more people who are
willing to exhibit this year and the
prospects for a fine show are excel
lent.

LOU NORDYKE HAS GREAT FAITH
IN THE FUTURE OF WENAT-
CHEZ LAND AND HE PLANS TO
MAKE HOME HERE.

Lou Nordyke, captain of the Van
couver pennant winners of the North
western league this summer, will have
a display of apples in the Spokane
apple show, December 7-12, raised on
his 10-acre tract near Monitor, which
he bought year and a half ago from
his baseball savings.
Nordyke has four boxes stored away
in the cellar of his rooming house in
Spokane, which contains some mag
nificent specimens of Jonathans
Rome Beauties and Winesaps, and
these should be in perfect condition
by the first of December. Nordyke's
crop this fall was one of the wonders
of the old residents, and old-timers
tell him that some of his Jonathan
apples excel everything in point of
size. beauty and soundness that has
been raised in that section in years
A week ago Tuesday Mr.. Nordyke
shipped through the Cashmere Fruit
growers union, 400 boxes of iona
thans to Pittsburg. For these the
Vancouver baseball captain received
a guarantee of $3.50 and the agent
the president of the union, Mr.. Hous
ton, told Nordyke that he believed he
could get 81 box for the apples in

Nordyke says that Jonathan that
