WEDNESDAY,, June 6.
Another heavy rain last night accom-
panied by severe thnndeE and lightning,
accompanied by severe thunder and
lightning. During the severest part of
the storm, about O'Clock, vivid flash
was seen in the southwest part of town
and the fiery bolt descended, striking
the residence OF Mr.. Hicks, near the
north gable, demolishing one window,
tearing off the siding and pIastering but
luckily not injurIng any of the inmates.
It seems as if wind, fire and lightning
combine to annihilate the town.

THE GARFIELD HOSPITAL.
A Site Purchased and building Secured
for Temporary Occupation.


The managers of the Garfield Memorial
hospital have purchased site for the insti-
tuition and the hospital is now an assured
fact At the last meeting of the board of
directors, tho offer of Mr.. Lewis H.
Schncider's spacious residence and extensive
grounds, situated on the line of hills which
crown the city, fronting on Boundary street,
at the head of Tenth street, was accepted,
and they have been purchased for the sum of
$37500.
The site has front of 800 feet on Boundary
street, runs back along Sherman avenue 900
feet, and contains 6I acres. The grounds are
beautifully laid oil and planted with trees and
shrubbery, The improvements consist of
large double brick house and back building,
with spacious rooms, and can easily be adapted
for immediate use, pending the erection of a
hospital proper, which will be done under the
supervision of DR.. John $. Billings, U. S. A.,
who is one Of the directors, and is the highest
authority in this country or Europe on hos
pital construction. In addition TO the main
building, which old residents will remember
as the Jesse Haw homestead" are outbuild.
Igs including u large brick barn. The sit
uation is very healthy, and, being on high
ground, affords a beautiful view of the district
and surrounding scenery, and tho hospital
when established will be one of the prominent
objects attracting attention from all quarters
The possession of a local habitation and a
name will give an impetus to the benevolent
efforts of those interested in the enterprise,
and the many bonifiCGnt persons who may
have postponed contributions until the enter
prise became thus matcralized will, the di-
rectors are assured, respond to the call for as
bistancO based upon the necessity for this
general hospital. Tho intelligent and honest
management of the hospital is assured by the
character and standing of its board of direc-
tors, tho most active being Judge Samuel +.

1t was extensively reported yesterday that

Uncle Sanl's Lands.
10 ihe Eiiior.


Your "Man on the Avenue" this morning
states that "about 45 per cent. of the land of
the United States remains unsurveyed to-
day-very nearly 1,OOO0OO,0OO acres" lie is
correct in the figures, but incorrect as to tho
per centage. The entire area of the public
domain, as shown by the official records that
IS all the land the United States ever owned
was 1,S23, lsO3s7 acres. A large part of the
lands in Minnesota, Dakota, and Montana,
which are unsurveyed, are lands given or
promised to railways, The lands in the In
dian territory are not open TO settlers
Alaska with its 369,000,000 acres can hardly
be considered desirable place for the peo-
pie " to settle in of which "The Man on tho
Avenue" speaks. There are 500 100000 acres
of lands comprised in the Rocky, Sierra Ma
dra, Nevada and other noun tain ranges.
The fact is that if the unearned grants to
railways are confirmed the I'm tied States will
not own 1O0,000,000 acres Of arabic and graz
ing land combined. Il. N. HILL.

IL is suggested that tho railways will add
considerably to the iavors they have already
granted if they will arrange SO that the TO-
duced tickets will permit holders TO stay
ovcr--say week--instead of forcing an i'm
mediate return. Perhaps 1t is not too late to
see TO It.. Certain il is that everybody inter
osted would be glad to have the time extended
to admit of little more lceway in going and
coming, and il is hoped that the railways will
find it convenient, as they have in cases of
election rates from Washington to western
states and return. The schedule, as sent by
Col. Boyd of the Pennsylvania road, and
printed on Thursday morning, had some mis-
calculations, and the colonel sends the follow
ing revision, which Is given in full, though
only about half the rates were found to be
wrong:

A Broken Family Circle.

In the death of little son of Mr.. NJ, p.
Rice circle of nine children was broken for
the first time. So large family of children
}arely falls to the lot of one household, and
the fact is more worthy Of notice when it is
mentioned that neither sickness or sorrow
Had ever entered among them.
There Is no flock however watched and tended
But one dead lamb is there.
There is no freside however defended
But has one vacant chair.
And yet the little boy that died is tho
only child that will live to the parents. As
the Others grow up into manhood and woman
hood this one, still child, will dwell for
DYER in their memories.
