RED WILLOW.
Jacob and Gabriella Longriecker are seri
ously ill with measles.
Rev. T. L. Ketman will preach in the north
end of district 72 , Sunday afternoon at three
o'clock.
After a hotly contested election , J. K. Helm
was elected school director by a majority of
one. In district 72 Win. Taylor was elected
moderator.
At Mrs. Ruggles' party the new town of
Red Willow was discussed. It was mentioned
that the son of the Red Willow man who first
graduated for the ministry was to be called to
this point. Much sympathy was expressed
for the young fellow so much that one might
have supposed a call to the wilds of Africa
would be preferable to coining here.
Wednesday was the occasion of Mrs. Tom
Ruggles' birthday. Mrs. Tom is a pioneer
among us and has borne patiently all the tri
als and vicissitudes that come to the pioneer
wife and mother. Her life has been very
quiet and unassuming and she lias probably
never realized how many admirers she pos
sessed among her neighbors until this event
ful birthday , when something less than fifty of
them repaired to her home to help her cele
brate. The surprise was complete , and the
new rocker with which her friends presented
her seemed a most appropriate gift. The
"lords of creation" were left out in the invita
tions , but of course they had to come to bring
the women. The guests brought the dinner
and there was no lack of good things. The
men folks were allowed to eat at the second
table , and Mr. Ruggles was properly admonished
ished to keep out of the'new chair. Among
the number present were Mesdames 15. Baker ,
Woodworth , Pate , Jacob Ball , Crockford , Ira
and Lafe Miller , Wm.Taylor , Sheets , Strayer ,
Eli Crockford , Byfield , I lines , and many oth
ers whose names we do not now recall. The
day was most pleasantly spent and we feel
that no doubt remains in Mrs. Ruggles' mind
mind about her neighbors' appreciation of
her , if ever any existed.

Several of our boys took in the ball game ,
last Saturday , at the Tuttle place near the
head of Dry creek.
Spring wheat was materially injured and
fall wheat and rye will be a short crop on ac
count of the prolonged dry weather.
If our fellow correspondent from Coleman
precinct will come in this part of the county
he will see plenty of corn that is knee high
and better.
Corn has not been injured in the least by
the dry weather and will make up for lost
time , as it is in fine condition. The farmers
have had ample time to destroy the weeds.
LEBANON.
William Murphy , one of the best known
men in this section of the county , was laid to
rest in the cemetery at this place , Sunday.
His funeral was one of the most largely at
tended in the history of this part of Red Wil
low county. Delegations from various portions
tions of the county being present.
The hail storm of Sunday evening extended
to within about a mile of town on the north ,
and did much damage to crops and live stock
in that section us well as east and west of
town. Following is a partial list of the heavi
est damages sustained in this section : J. S.
Iloobler , one-fourth mile north of town , lost
40 head of fat hogs averaging about 350
pounds , i milk cow and 4 calves. 15. F. Brad
bury lost 5 or 6 hogs and some pigs. Walter
Devoe , one mile east , lost about 25 shotes. A.
C. Wickup , one-half mile noith , 6 or S hogs.
Ed. Widner , about four miles east , lost a fine
thoroughbred hog by lightning. T. J. Cress
lost over 20 pigs on his farm west of town.
Eurlington No. 3 now carries five sleeping
cars west. They are the St. Louis , Kansas
City , Omaha and two Chicago cars. Even
with this equipment it is sometimes hard for
the ticket agents to secure accommodation
for westbound passengers.
A Tornado at Bartley.
Last Saturday morning at about 1:30 ,
Bartley was visited by quite a lively and
destructive tornado. It had rained in
the early part of the evening , and a
season of quiet and oppressive heat in
tervened before the tornado came pounc
ing upon the town from the southeast ,
and in the twinkling of an eye it was all
over.
The main damage was sustained at
college hall , a two-story brick building
owned by J. E. Seeley of Poughkeepsie ,
N. Y. The hall part of this building
was entirely destroyed and the falling
bricks damaged the floor and ceiling be
low. The general merchandise establish
ment of G. W. Jones and the drug store
of F. A. Walsworth occupied the two
store rooms under the hall. Neither of
these stocks of goods was materially
damaged and both stocks were removed
from the building Saturday , hence es
caped any damage from the heavy rain
of Sunday evening. The damage to the
building is about $1,000 , which is covered
by tornado insurance. The barns of
David Mangus , John Jones and Rev. M.
S. Foutch were also destroyed. Besides
awnings , chimneys etc , along the street
in the neighborhood of the hall were
slightly damaged.
