During the heavy thunder shower, Tuesday night, the lightning struck the tenant house of Theron E. Platt in Hope well. The fluid entered the cornice on the southwest corner of the roof and fol- lowed it over the roof, passing out of the southeast corner, splitting the cornice, ripping up a few shingles and making kindling wood of two or three rafters. The family in the house were sitting on a lounge in the kitchen and felt the shock slightly.

have in my possession circular of a
 brewers association circular sent to all candidates for office. It has been sent, or will be sent, in form to be fill- ed up, saying whether the candidate is a friend of the liquor traffic or the foe, and if he is an enemy of the business, then the man is doomed, or, if he de- clines to fill up the circular and send It back, his silence is taken as negative answer. It seems to me it is about time for the 17,000,000 professors of religion in America to take sides on this ques- tion, which will yet be thrust before every Christian man so plainly he can not eject or reject it. It is going to be an out and out battle between drunk enness and sobriety between heaven and hell between God and the devil. Take sides before there is any further natural decadence. Take sides before your sons are sacrificed and the new home of your daughter goes down under the alcohol ism of an inebriated husband. Take sides while your voice, your pen, your prayer, your vote may have any influence in ar resting the despoliation of this nation.- [Talmage.

Mrs M. G. Marble has sent the BEE a
 copy of the Lake Park, Minn., Record, announcing the death at Lake Park of Rev Dr Fletcher Hawley, whose memory is extolled in warmest terms. Dr flaw ley was born at Arlington, Vt., Novem- Der P, 1913 and, after his ordination, went to Santa Cruz in the West Indies, where he was instrumental in quelling a negro revolt and restoring friendly rela- tions between the planters and their slaves. He returned to the United States and was stationed at New Orleans, where the war shut him in. Buffers arrival re- leased him and, after temporary service elsewhere, he came to St. James, parish, Danbury, whose difficulties he composed and built new stone church. A new church also followed his labors at Staf- ford Springs, Conn.,, but he removed in 1880 to Becker county, Minnesota, where he owned land. Paralysis robbed him of the use of his left leg in 1887 and he died, the Record says, "his sweet and lovely Christian character having en- deared him to all with whom he came in contact" Bishop Gilbert had charge of the funeral services, May 2s, and the good man was buried in his native Ar lington, Vermont.

Selectman Hawley has taken into his charge most of the road from Stepney Depot to Monroe Center and, with a road machine and a good set of men, the road has been placed in first class shape, near ly every rod of the entire length. This road, contract road for years, has been source of annoyance to the Monroe people, so little work of value had been done and a petition was started, last year, to call out the county commission CTS, but, being late in the season, it was not pressed. When a few other roads have been repaired, according to plans arranged, Monroe will have reason to feel proud of her principal highways.
 Sunday afternoon, another of our aged men was called away by death, Roswell V. Nichols, aged about 70 years and a life long resident of this village. His home for the past 40 years or more has been at the place formerly known as Peck's tavern. He married for his first wife Miss Jane Silliman, who had three children, Henry, now in Southville :; Roderick of Easton and one which died in infancy. His second wife was Miss Caroline Marsh of New Milford, who had two children, Frances, now dead, who married George Hayes, and John, who lives in this village. MT Nichols was son of Burton Nichols, his mother being one of the Hawley family, once the most prominent family in this section. There were, besides him, two children, Hawley and a sister, who married William Boards ley, builder, in Bridgeport. Mir Nich- ols was by trade carpenter and joiner and, for many years, was well known in the surrounding towns as an able work man. Dnring the latter part of his life, he has worked his farm and dealt in cows, of which he was an excellent judge and any animal entering his stables improved, as he was good feeder and a careful miss him, for none among us was more ready and willing to assist another in time of sickness or trouble, always kind and friendly to all. His funeral was at tended, Tuesday afternoon, at the house by Rev D. Osborne, assisted by Rev MT Robertson. The bearers were S.B.Hayes, Zalmon Purdy, Moses Hull and c. E. Os- borne.
