The storm Saturday evening was the worst electricaly of any experienced in this vicinity for years. The streets were deserted, business suspended for the time, and street car traffic tied up for an hour Both telephone companys were nearly put out of business and many phones were not in working order by Tuesday. It is strange that more destruction did not result from lightning, considering the violence of the storm, than what has been reported. Two horses owned by George Seiter and one owned by Charles Dutt were killed by lightning, a barn on the Jennings farm near Delaware, and the Fish house near Richwood were burned. It is also reported that several head of stock were killed near Magnetic Springs. The wind around Radnor, Magnetic Springs and near Delaware was terrific and in these parts hardly a stock of corn is standing, while out buildings and fences are badly damaged.

There is no cause for anxiety as to the little lady's health whatever. SCOTT & WOODROW Open Their New Hay Barn Under the Management of Ferd Gabriel Wednesday Afternoon. The new hay barn of Scott and Woodrow built upon the site of the one destroyed a few years ago by fire, was opened for business Wednesday afternoon. The barn is one of the largest and complete in the state, equiped with a Wottring Climax Hay Press made by S. L. Wottring of Prospect, and a twelve horse power, Columbus gasoline engine, besides all up to date gearing and appliances on the market. Messers Scott and Woodrow are leading and most reliable hay and grain dealers of Columbus with barns in several parts of the state and Prospect should feel highly gratful that the gentlemen after a lapse of years following a discouraging experience, have again established an enterprise of this kind in the village. It is earnestly hoped that their venture will be successful not only because Scott & Woodrow deserve success, but that Prospect will benefit greatly if success crowns their efforts. Mr. Ford Gabriel, who is well known to all hay growers in this vicinity, will have charge of affairs. The highest market price will be paid for good hay and those having the same will do well to see this firm before disposing of their crops. Death From Fever. Word has been received by Rev.
