taken place; above all, the American
farmer has for twenty-seven years been
swindIed, oppressed, and sucked dry OF
his hard earnings by the blessed pro-

ed a curse. The farmer who has per.
haps twenty sheep, and all the wool he

A ELECTRIC MAN.

Bennettsville, Ind , holds within it's
confines a remarkable freak. The
wonder is Henry Luegeman. Three
years ago, during a storm, he was
engaged in gathering tanbark, when
the tree from which he was taking il
was struck by lightning. Luegeman

ed him into u genuine electric man.
Any one who shakes hands with Luege-
man now receives u severe shock. by
passing the blade of a knife between
his thumb and finger during the pro-
gress of a storm he charges the metal
80 strongly that heavy weights can be
lifted. When flies alight upon him
they drop dead, and when he is in u
dark room sparks flash from his flesh,
and his eyes shine like incandescent
lights. Whenever a storm approaches
Luegeman becomes highly charged
with electricity, and it is dangerous TO
touch him. Ho claims to feel no incOn-
venience except that he will go neal no
moving locomotive for fear of being
drawn against il and killed,
