A fair trial of Hoods Sarsaparilla will
convince any reasonable person that it pos
sesses great medicinal merit. We do not
claim that every bottle will accomplish a
miracle, but we do know that nearly every
bottle, taken according to directions, does pro
duce positive benefit. Its peculiar curative
power is shown by many remarkable cures.

The High School Building Slightly dam.
aged in Last Nights storH
The High School Building was struck
by lightning last night. A few minutes
after 10 80 o'clock a sharp, binding flash
of lightning was followed by the heav-
lest crash in the storm. The bolt
struck the roof of the tower on the
southeastern end of the building
and scattered the slate. Tse residents
of Adams and Eighth street heard the
crash and thought something had been
struck. Professor A. II. Berlin, princi
pal of the Boys High School, who lives
only few doors above the building on
Adams street. thought by the direc-
tion of the sound that the building had
received the stroke He came out of the
house and saw the scattered slate on the
Adams street lawn. He watched the
building to see if the lightning set the
building on fire, but saw none.
The holt did not cause any great
damage, as an inspection this morning
showed. The stroke knocked a cartlosd
of slate off of the eastern side of the
tower, striking it near the centre.
The outlet of the bolt has
not been found. 1t struck one
of the rafters and split it near the end
The rafter fell through the ceiling of the
library room making two holes in ths
ceiling, and striking the room wall.
The beam shows no mark of burning
and this fact gives rise to a theory thai
the stroke merely struck the roof, anC
that the conclusion caused the breaking
