A LIGHTNING BOLT.
Struck Bluff Cottage Early Saturday
Morning Last.

1t Knocked the Stove Into Smitherenes-
Played Havoc With the Flag Staff
Paralyzed Two Men for Over an Hour.
ssSaturday morning early, Portland and
vicinity were visited with two very lively
thunder storms. The first one occurred
shortly after midnight but it must have
been about three O'Clock when the second
one was let loose. And good one it was
too. For quite little while the lightning
was incessant and very vivid while the
thunder was exceedingly heavy.
While the shower was at its hight a light
min bolt struck the stage on Bluff cottage
so-called which is situated about four miles
or SO from the city on a promontory that
makes out from the Shore road into the
ocean. The cottage is "a story and half
affair: some wouldscall.it one story struct-
ure with an attic.
In the cottage at the time of the shower
were several people. F. W. r. Nayler the
Pleasant street janitor his son James and
Mr.. Howard C Smith of the firm of Smith
4 Rroe.zthe Congress street apothecaries
We're sleeping in the upper story. On the
ground floor is part of the broad piazza
which is enclosed by glass SO as to make a
and another lady. All the occupants of
the building were fast asleep but were
quickly reused by the violence of the storm.
When the boltsstruck the flag staff the SEN
sation was something terrible. The instan-
taneous clap of thunderfollowing it drowned
the roarsof the tempest. The flag staff was
broken and the lightning went through the
attic down to the lower floor where it struck
the cooking stove and left it in SO many
varied forms and of so many sizes that it
was hardly. possible to believe that "a scook
stove had ever stood in the spot it formerly
occupied. Ths lightning then passed out
into the ground. 1t set the cottage on. fire
no one ever knew for the pouring rain prob
ably put out the flames at once.
Mr.. Naylor. the younger. and Mr.. Smith
were completely paralyzed by the bolt. It
was over an hour before they fully recovered
the use of their limbs. The others were all
more or less affected by the shock but not
seriously. 1t was a narrow escape from a
wholesale destruction of human life.

from the bushes, and the hermit and
veery sounding out their bell like notes
from the thickets of fir at early morning
and evening. Such were the conditions
under which Mrs Tryon, in her charac-
teristically easy, graceful and animated
style gave her Introductory bird talk to
avery sympathetic audience, at the Otta-
wa Saturday afternoon. Besides some of
the guests of the hotel, there were pre-
sent from Portland about fifty persons.
several of them already familiar with
the subject, among them Mrs. John Mar
shall Brown, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Strout, each with a party of friends
from their summer homes at Cumber-
land Foreside. Mrs. Tryon, sby adapting
her lecture to the local SURROUNDINGS.
gave an immediate stimulus to field OBJ
seryation. She used her water colors
and initiated distinguishing notes of the
birds, some of which could be heard
singing at intervals from the lecture
hall.

Watering Plants.

When we have a long spell of dry weather
the flower garden needs much attention;
the ANIMALS must be frequently watered
and the house plants, which are set in the
border. Where there is no chose and one
has to depend on the watering pot, it is
hard work. if the garden Els large, and the
temptation to water specifically is great.
Mere surfaced watering is of no account,
it is lost labor. The water sprinkled or
poured spread on the ground and is wasted.
Whatever you do be thorough, and then
the process will not need to be repeated
every other day. Take section at a time
and slowly sprinkle the bees of ANIMALS SO
that the water will soak into the soil as
you proceed. You can tell when it has pen
ertated to the roots by thrusting stick in
to the earth.ssWhere there are larger plants,
it is better way to pour 1.-The water OF. the
roots of each. Pour little on several, alter
mating SO as to allow the water to soak
down before applying anew. By taking
three or four one can do the work more
rapidly. Be sure and water. to the roots.
If the surface is hard it should be previous
ly stirred with a trowel, so as to readily
absorb the moisture. If done in this man
ner, watering twice week will answer.
For some of my plants, particularly iris
and. .gladiolus, remove the soil partly on
one.side, and then pour water into the hol-
low until known the roots are thoroughly
wet and then draw the earth up again.
Then let them go couple of weeks with
out repeating the process.even if there be
nc rain; Late in the afternoon, toward
nightfall, is the most suitable time so the
plants may have the benefit before the sun
absorbs the moisture.

THE DEERING POOR FARM.
Prosperous Management of the Farm
Larger Crops than Ever this Year-Hope-
less Condition of Little Walter Beckett.


The Deering town farm will raise bigger
crops than ever this year. There are over
eleven acres under cultivation. There are
six acres of oats, four of potatoes, one acre
of gard en- vegetables and a half acre of
cabbage. If these crops turn out as well
as they promise, it is hoped that the, board
of commissioners of the poor will not be
obliged to ask the city for an appropriation
next spring-that is, it is hoped that the
poor farm will be self supporting.
There are now eleven inmates, a larger
number than fol some time. Another in
creased source of income for the poorhouse
is the great sand pit there. Formerly
good deal of sandNwas hauled away from
there that wasn't paid for and $500 a year
was very large sum for the sand that was
paid for. But more stringent measur es
have been adopted lately, and last year
the sand pit yielded nearly $1,000.
One of the inmates of the poor house is!
the little boy Walter Beckett, whose lament!
able condition recently attracted the at
tention of some benevolent women. He is
blind and deaf and dumb, and utterly idi-
otto and helpless, though eleven years of.
age and growing, though not SO rapidly as
other boys. These ladies had him taken to
the Eye and Ear InfiFmasy to see if some
method could not be adopted to teach him
something. or in some way to penetrate the
darkness that separates him from all the
rest of mankind, and try and discover if
there is spark of human reason in the
poor little animal.
But DR.. Holt decided Immediately that
his case is hopeless. He has no legal parents
and the whereabouts of his father and
mother are not known. His remarkable
condition was caused by paregoric, fire.
quent.y administered to him when an in

keep him quiet. 1t did keep him quiet. 1t
Quoted all of his budding perceptions J. for
ever, and left nothing but the mere animal

Mesa free press., 1894-11-23

There is no alkali in this soil either
and this cannot be said of all the
land which might he found in the
great valley of the Salt. If the
liars who pers;s;ently slander Mesa
on all occasions will turn to and
attend to their own business they
will do well. Surely those to
whom these lies were told will
hold the liars in remembrance, and
many a newcomer will be "onto"

perpetual sunshice.

on Dec. l, by the grace of God and
the help of the people of Alabama
he will be inaugurated. Governor

by the grace of God he will do it.
Mesa free press., 1894-11-23

The liars are not all dead. A
few of them hibernate yet in
Phoenix and have commenced their
annual TRADE of lies against Mesa.
A newcomer to Phoenix recently
put up at the Lemon hotel and
when he inquired about Mesa was
told by some one there that Mesa
was very sickly country, the land
was very poor, and during his in
qUiries in Phoenix about this Sec
ton, he was overwhelmed with
dirty, contemplate lies enough to
damn a cast iron man. A man
that is low enough, dirty enough,
despicably mean enough and so
infnitesimally small and narrow as
to deliberately belch forth a lot of
contemplate, low, outlandish and
inexcusable lies about an adjacent
and contributary country is too
mean to be allowed to longer exist
in a decent community. The fact
is there is no healthier spot in the
Salt River valley than Mesa, situat-
ed at least two hundred feet above
any other p art of the great valley,
with better drainage than any other
part and more favorably situated
for health and purity of atmosphere
and better water. There is not a
square yard of soil in the territory
that is more productive and fertile
than the thousand square miles
that compose the Mesa country.
