Miss Anderson was pronounced as being ex tremely !;ne and especially was this ap preciated as she had a very clear and fine voice, making her enunciation acute ly clear, helping in the fine rendition which she gave her part. Bennie Wind ham received the most applause v.rA in fact more than all the others together, ami his manner of delivery caught the audience. Last Night's Storm After threatening a storm, anil the marshalling the cohorts of the elements which go to make the electric displays and the cyconie winds and the downpour of the waters, for a number of hours, and having all in readiness, the storm of last night broke in all its fury upon the defenseless heads af the people of Plattsniouth about 10 o'clock. There rarely occurs a more severe stoimofits character than the one on exhibition last night, as for fireworks, there was not a time for an hour that there was not a flash of lightening, illuminating the sky. the glare was almost inces sant. During which time the wind blew in such a way as to cause the more timid to think a hurricane was aiout due to give us a visit, and all the time a con tinual downpour of water as though the flKxlgates of the clouds had been, open ed. About the initial point of the pyro tecnio display a bolt of liquid lire ignit ed the barn of C. C. Farmele in the north part of town and so rapid was the combustion that only portionsof the frame was standing when the fire de partment arrived, although they re sponded immediately. The flames from the burning building which could only be seen to the best advantage when the electric glare was less violent, added to the panoramic spectacle. The horses were all gotten out but the structure was an entire loss which amounted to $1700 and pretty well cov ered by insurance, there being SS00 on the building and contents. A bolt descended about the same time taking the chimney off W. W. Coates house, the county home got a bolt or two doing little damage, and otherwise there was nothing to speak of except the washing of ground and some grain blown down. At the County Farm Superintendent Bouse of the poor farm was in town today and reports that the eupalo of the building was struck, tearing off a portion of one cor ner of same, and passing down through the house to the cellar, making a hole through the wail at the corner of the building. The wood work on the cupalo was badly scorched, and there was also a large place burned on the window where the ielephome wire passes through. CASTOR I A Por Infants and Children.
