[ From Wotlncodny's Dally. ] A storm of unusual Intensity do- Hcundod upon not them Nebraska last slit , I lie storm teaching Norfolk about ! l o'clock. The Hereout electric al disturbance of the season wan Hhinvn. vivid Hushes of llghluluir and deep thunder claps following ono an other In quick succession. The wind was strong , the rain fell In tqrrentu nnd much damage was done. South of the city great quantities of hall foil , mining the crops In a large stretch of country. From Atkinson It Is reported that three Inches of ralu foil in lorty-Ilve minutes , and from various parts of the section tributary to Norfolk route stories of similar ferocity on the part of the elements. Hall Devastation. A terrific hailstorm visited the coun try south of Norfolk and ninny crops over n wide stretcli of country are completely ruined. The hailstones were not large but a tremendous quan tity fell nnd in the short space of thirty minutes thousands of dollars of damage was done. Drifts of the ley particles two feet high were piled up by the storm and this morning there were drifts half that high. Corn , potatoes , small grains and ev ery other growing crop suffered al most total destruction. Some of the later crops may recover partially , but those that were maturing will be a totil loss to the farmers in the affect ed district. The storm commenced to have an effect a mile south of town and a milo further south It left desolation in its wake. At the Willems farm two miles south sixty acres of corn were loft without a stub standing. Oats and potatoes and other crops are com pletely pounded out and driven Into the ground and this morning drifts of hail remain ns reminders of the calamity. The storm was so fierce that the Willems dairy herd of cattle was driven through a wire fence as though It was no barrier at all. The wind whipped the hall around with terrible force and buildings show the marks of Its fury. The western edge of the hail storm damage was a mile and a half this side of the Maurice Carbery place , eight miles south of Norfolk , and It seems to have vut through a strip of country at least five miles deep south of the city , and how far east it extended could not bo learned as the telephone system was some what demoralized by the fierce elec trical disturbance and the wind and hall. In Norfolk there was little hall , but the rain was terrific while It lasted. Only .80 of an inch of water fell , but It fell In so short a space of time that streets wore flooded for a short while. There was much lightning , which struck trees in the city and caused deafening bursts of thunder. No damage - ago was done by the lightning so far as known today. CORN WILL. GROW UP AGAIN.

"My cornfield , which had stalks more than a foot high yesterday , now looks like a floor , " said Nick Kent , one of tlie farmers who suffered from the hailstorm , after the damage had been done.

Moderate In prloo. came out Into tlio > nrd after the storm I found that It had been cut off sharp and clean , as had everything else in tlio storm's path. Others in my neigh borhood suffered , also. " "What will you do now ? " was asked. "Nothing. What cano do ? The corn. I thlnlt , may grow yet , as there are line roots still underneath which I believe will mnko a crop.
