A GREAT MUSICAL GATHERING.
The Largest Convention of Teachers Eve
Held In the limited Statas

The Largest Convention of Teachers Ever
Held In the United States.
CHICAGO, July 5.-'The annual conveh-
ton of the National Music Teachers as
sociation, which is in session in Central
Music hall, promises to be not only the
largest but the most important gather
ing of its character ever held in
the United States. There are at
least 2,OOO delegates in attendance,
and the convention this year is so hap
PLY timed as to meet in the great musical
center of the West during the regular
Chicago season of the Theodore Thomas
summer concerts. No formal organiza-
tion Of the musical societies of America
has yet been attempted, but it is believed
that some practical steps in this direction
will be taken before the present conven-
tion adiourns.

tho Fourth of July Casualty Crop-..Dis-
estcre of tho Day.
HUNTER, OAK, July 5.-A peculiarly
sad case of lightning's fatal work has
just come to light through neighbor,
who reports that last Friday night
during the storm the house of a Nor.
wegian named Ole Olstad, about eight
miles northwest of this place, was
struck by lightning. The house was
what is known as a sod shanty,
occupied by Olstad, his wife and their
S-months old baby. On Saturday, the
neighbors, not seeing signs of life about
the premises, investigated. Effecting an
entrance into the house they found Olstad
lying on the floor near the door, dead,
with his head burned to a crisp,
the clothing nearly burned from the
body, and the flesh in places blackended
and peeling from the bones. Near by lay
the body of his wife, badly burned
about the face and shoulders, her
TEXTURES barely recognizable. On the
bed in the corner of the room, beneath a
large feather pillow lay the bate uu-
harmed, kicking his heels in the air and
laughing and enjoying itself. An exam
ination of the building showed that the
bolt entered the house by way of the
chimney, passing down and scattering
pieces of the stove about the room.
Another and equally sad circumstance
in connection with the affair is the fact
that Olstad had sent money to Europe
to enable his aged father and mother
to come and live with him. On Satur-
day morning the old couple arrived in
Hunter, and were driven to the resi-
derce Of their son, accompanied
by an unmarried brother, who lives in
Minnesota and had Joined them in St.
Paul, thinking to make the family re-
union complete. The grief of the parents
when they arrived at the farm can better
be imagined than described.

The Merchants Zouaves drill today at

upon the company, feeling that the boys

Gov II. L. Taylor was expected TO ar

were waiting and watching for him. He
will probably reach the city this morning,
as he has announced that he would come
as soon as propriety would permit him to

record, and was himself responsible for his
position in the matter. He then pro-
ceeded TO argue from legal grounds that
DIR. Woodrow was not guilty OF any Of
