Lightning struck The house of Dam
iel Ulrich Jr., in the western part
of Main street. dur ing the severe storm
onW ednesday. The electric fash en-
tered on the roof near the chimney,
completely demolishing the same and
scattering the brick in all directions.
From the garret it descended into the
bedroom and from tn ere through the
ceiling into the kitchen, where Mrs.
Ulrich and one of her children were al
the time. The child was playing on
the floor and the lightning, after touch

round AID out at the washboard, pass
ing the child and its mother within q
few feet, hut leaving them uninjured
The carpet had caught fire, which was
at once put out by several men who
had been working in the fields near by.
1t was narrow escape for the occu-
pants of the house.

musical star still shines and increases
in brightness in the world. We return
