STORM IN THIS REGION.
SEVERAL SMALL TORNADOES
The Cyclonic Aren Which Covered
North Ncbrnskn and Southern South
Dakota Was Punctuated by Tornn
does In Various Places.

hull NtnrniH tlnit has been known In
nnrlhorn Nebraska anil southern South
Diikolu. The ImmeiiHo cyclone which
covered iin iircii extending fioin Nor
folk wont to Ix > ng IMno and noithwcHt
to Gregory , S. D. , WIIH ininctuatod In
many places \vllh , illiiilnullvo torna
does. In the region of those tornadooH
hull , wind and lightning did innch darn-
ago. Many homes were kllli'd , buriiH
iiml hoiiHoHvoro demolished , crops
wore doviiBtntod and llro.s were started.
In lloyd county It IH Hiild one boy waa
killed by lightning.
Much of the storm's havoc has nl-
ready been recorded in The News , At
Madison thcro wan a terrific storm
mid northwest of there a tornado ,
Hull damaged crops. South of Battle
Creek hall did damage. South of Til-
den there was hull damage ever an
nren of about fourteen square miles.
At Oakdalo there was wind damage
ns there was near Nellgh. North of
O'Neill about -121 square miles of crops
were ruined and the damage amounted
to about JlfiO.OOO. In the vicinity o [
Sprlngvlow thorp was wind , hall and
lightning. ,
At Tllden ,
Additional nown ot the storm Is
found in a number of weekly newspa
pers. The Tllden Citizen says :
The worst storm that has struck
Tlldon since the devastating rush of
linll lu 1895 occurred Tuesday evening.
The day had been Intensely hot nud
nmplo warning of the approaching
wind was noticeable In the northwest
nn hour or more before the storm ar
rived. Whirling masse sot black
clouds and white caps soon gathered
nnd the roar of the oncoming destroyer
could bo heard several minutes before
It was actually present. The storm
was ushered In by one of the worst
winds over experienced hero which
filled the air with blinding dust , leaves
nnd twigs from shade and fruit trees.
Then came the rain ; first In big scat
tering drops nud later In sheets. The
wind In the meantime gathered still
greater force , hailstones were mixed
with the rnln and , for about twenty
minutes all n'aturo seemed lashed Into
n wild fury that threatened to leave
the soil of this productive territory aa
liaro as a freshly mown grain Held.
The strangest feature to one who wit
nessed the storm Is that so little dam-
nge was wrought. Elm and ash trees
standing twenty feet high wore
whipped about like slender willows ,
the tips of their high limbs sometimes
sweeping the ground. Smaller branch
es were severed by the hall and wind
nnd were carried through the air like
chaff. Big cotton wood limbs were
twisted from the parent trunks and
fruit trees were damaged to a similar
extent Yet In spite of this terrtllc
display of storm power , the accom
panying money loss Is comparatively
slight. Light , detached out buildings
were blown ever and , in a few cases ,
demolished ; a few panes of glass wore
broken by the hall , and several barns
were shifted from their foundations.
This represents about all the pecu
niary damage. In the country around
us , however , the effect was far more
disastrous , although no lives , were lost
nor , so far as can be learned , was any
one Injured. But crops suffered se
verely. Egbert Winder , Al. Jones' ,
Ike Grace , .lake Schlnk , Sherman Sni
der , Fet < 5 Rothwlsch nnd Will Sheets
lost practically everything except the
small amount of crop already harvest
ed. Scarcely a windmill Is left stand
ing in the wnko of the storm nnd hen
houses nnd such like buildings are
scattered piecemeal over several
square miles of territory. North of
the river the hail did less damage , but
the effect of the terrible wind Is to bo
seen In broken and uprooted trees ,
flattened oat Holds , shifted buildings
nnd broken boards lying In every di
rection. Telephone lines were badly
torn down and It Is Impossible to learn
of the actual damage , except as farm
ers como to town. Three miles of the
Nebraska Telephone company's lines
were blown Hat between hero and Oak-
dale , several wires in town were brok
en , nnd many Instruments were put
out of business. Summing all up , the
storm was a bad ono , perhaps the
worst that many people have wit
nessed , yet wo may all consider out-
selves fortunate that no ono was hurt ,
no homes destroyed , and except to n
half-dozen families In the neighbor
hood , the resulting loss is only a trllle.
On the Rosebud.
A Gregory special to the Fairfax Ad
vertiser says : The heaviest rainstorm
:
In the history of Gregory fell here Mon
day afternoon about 4:30 : o'clock. It
lasted for about throe-quaitors of an
hour , during which time the rain fell
In perfect torrents , making nn estimat
ed fall of nearly three inches of rain.
Just at the lost of the storm a heavy
wind swept everything before It. It
blew over a. plank fence In the rear of
Papousek's saloon nnd frightened sev
eral teams that were hitched to posts
along the side of the street. Two or
three of the teams fled in runaway
fashion through the storm , smashing
ou'rluriilng wngoim and ere-
u great deal of confusion goner-
, lly Kortunnk'ly no ono WIIH In Die
Igs to suffer harm and beside a few
miiHhed tops , the damage WIIH Hllght
'ho wind also tore down an uullnlHhed
iiilldliig opposite the Wiley hotel ,
( Irowing It In the street. It blow down
i couple of large touts , one belonging
o the Seventh Day Advcntlsts who
ire holding a series of gospel meetings
ioro , and the other belonging to n
henlrlcnl company about to put on a
how. lack Wright had his Ice IIOUHC
Urown out acroHs the lot , whllo the
1atholtc church barn , Win. Nollknmp-
! ' burn on his mill Hltc , U. K. Kloko's
IOUHO In the eastern part of town , Win.
'OOU'H oil shed , and a number of
mlldliigs of a more or IOHH temporary
iiiture were cither overturned or
'ilown ' to pieces. Thus far no fatalities
have been reported. The IOHH to farm
piopcrty In the country bus not yet
been ascertained.
The Sprlngvlcw Independent says :
Ono of the fiercest storms known In
the hlHtory of the town passed ever
hero Monday afternoon about I o'clock.
Haiti gushed from the heavens accom
panied by hall and n heavy wind ,
which destroyed window glass and
overturned outhouses and coal sheds.
The wind was so strong It twisted R.
I5 , .TOIIOR' now burn out of shape , It
moved the house that Will Boyd Is liv
ing In off the foundation , It toro sever
al boards from the front end of the
1'urdy livery barn and removed several
shingles from the roof of the hotel.
Window lights were broken In n good
many of the business nnd resident
buildings. The court house was jarred
loose from the vault and twenty-seven
window lights were destroyed by hall.
Several wagons , buggies nud hayracks
were overturned and received some
damage. The storm was moving
southeast and after leaving hero
seemed to spread and balled out al
most everyone between hero nnd
Cams. A very peculiar Incident hap
pened hero. After the storm had
passed over the street In front of Man
ifold's blacksmith shop was tilled with
buggies wagons and hayracks , all piled
up except one wagon with high top
boards on that belonged to Frank Fore
man , who lives southeast of town. The
wagon contained a high spring sent
In which was sitting a bucket of eggs ,
which passed through the storm with
out over being molested. Did you over
see a storm without something pecu
liar happening ?
In Boyd County.
And this from the Spencer Advo
cate : The electric storm which swept
ever this section of the country last
Monday afternoon was the worst of
the season. The rain fell In torrents
and the lightning was Herce and fre
quent. Soon after the rain let up It
was discovered that a building was on
Hie over northeast , which proved to
bo the line now barn of Meyer Brand-
vlg. The barn was not quite complete
yet , and only the application for Insur
ance was made , hence It was a total
loss to the owner. Out southwest
Dave Lewis lost three horses and the
fourth was badly Injured. A tine roan
team was killed and ono of his Hue
little spotted horses. The other ono Is
Injured and rendered perfectly deaf.
But what might have proven more se
rious than all happened over north
west about two miles where Miss An
dres was struck and rendered uncon
scious , but fortunately did not receive
enough of the electric current to cause
death. It was reported to us also that
a boy near Lynch was seriously shock
ed. The boy died Tuesday from his
Injuries.
Cyclone and Tornado Distinction.
The storm of Monday Illustrated
nicely the distinction between a cy
clone nnd a tornado. The storm de
pression which covered this region ,
having a diameter of about 150 miles ,
was a cyclone. The cyclone did no
damage. It produced a low barometric
pressure nnd the air was sultry. In-
sldo of the cyclone , at many points ,
little violent storms , similar to a
whirlwind but larger , rose up , ran a
llttlo distance nnd then spent them
selves. It was the tomado that did
the damage. This whole section was
covered by the cyclone.

The New Road Law.
Madison Chronicle : The last ses
sion of the legislature passed a num
ber of laws which have created more
or less uneasiness In the minds of
many people on account of the fact
that they were Ignorant of the real
provisions of such new laws. The
publication of the session laws for
some reason was delayed several
weeks beyond the statutory limits.
Ono of the laws which has caused trou
ble nnd annoyance by reason of a lack
of knowledge of its provisions is the
road law.
It Is the duty of the commissioners
to divide the county Into road districts
but the law provides that no district
shall be constituted to contain less
than one or more than two townships
In area. The road districts at the pres
ent time comprise one-half of a town
ship. We are not sure but that It
would be a wise plan to divide the
county Into eight districts which would
bo two townships to each district. The
road overseer could then plan his work
to a better advantage and there would
be sufficient compensation to warrant
him in giving it more attention. When
the road districts are too small there
Is a great deal of tlmo wasted In haulIng -
Ing tools from ono district to another
and there Is positively no uniformity
or system In grading up roads for any
considerable distance. Perhaps wo do
not understand conditions but to our
judgment a road district comprising
two townships would result lu moro f
economical expenditure of labor nnd
money.
Anyone desiring to become a candi
date for a township or precinct ofllco
may have their names placed upon the
primary ballot by simply filing the
necessary paper with the county clerk.
There Is no fee or cost connected with
such filing.

See Them in Norfolk !
August 3 ' 7 * * *
1 , ,
H The HUMANE HORSE COLLAR , which by the way has no re I
. ; . semblance to the ordinary collar , Is a new device brought out by the
H . ; . HUMANE HORSE COLLAR COMPANY of OMAHA , NEB. , and is
meeting with extraordinary success. As shown In the cut , It has no * * *
I stuffing of any kind , but Is so constructed as to apply the breast collar M
principle to the shoulder of the horse. All the dmft Is carried by the I
a * wide , strong leather that makes a perfectly pliable surface In contact H
M with the shoulder. It Is claimed for this collar , and the manufacturers
i * J * aie willing to prove , that it will CURE ANY CASE OF SORE NECK
H OR SHOULDERS on horses and mules and will make the cure while
* * the animal works. It being adjustable in size ono collar flts all the
H horses on the farm. Farmers who are using this collar are making the
prediction freely that it will soon take the place of the old collar for
all farm and heavy draft work , In fact hundreds of farmers are laying
nsldo good collars and using the HUMANE COLLAR. An Interesting
experiment Is made with this collar by placing the hand under any
part of it while the team is drawing a heavy load. This Is done with
out hurting the hand in the least nnd Illustrates why It cures up the I
bruises and keeps the well horses sound. If this experiment were tried
with the ordinary collar the hand would bo crushed. The world has
mode rapid strides In most every line In recent years. Why can we not
advance In the field of horse collars ? The HUMANE COLLARS are
sold subject to a thorough trial on horses with sore necks or shoulders.
J. D. ABRAMS , REPRESENTING THE HUMANE HORSE COL
LAR CO. , WILL BE IN NORFOLK SATURDAY , AUGUST 3rd , AND
ESPECIALLY DESIRES TO SHOW THIS COLLAR TO EVERYONE
WHO TSES HORSE COLLARS. FARMERS PARTICULARLY ARE
INVITED TO EXAMINE THIS COLLAR AND SEE ITS MERITS DEM
ONSTRATED. 3,500 HORSES CURED WITH THIS COLLAR IN THE 3
