~Paralyzsd by a lightning stroke dur
fng The severe electric storm of Satur-
day night, Lewis Schoening, of No. 1928
north Fifth street, Philadelphia, died at
II o'clock Wednesday morning, ,S5 houis
after he was stricken, without gaining
consciousness. The circumstances Of
his fatal mishap were weird, and since
no human being witnessed the stroke,
the explanation on which the coroner
granted death certificate was purely
circumstantial, though scarcely admit
ting Of Il doubt.
Mr.. Schoening had for many years
been the perintendeDt of Jacob Scho-
ening's Sons morocco factory, directly
in the rear of his .esidence. Alarmed
by the fearful rush of waters which so
suddenly swept the streets on Saturday
uight. Mr.. Scboening visited the fac
tory about 10 o'clock in the evening.
EVERYTHING was apparently all light,
and he had Just locked the rear door OF
the factory, and had the huge bunch OF
KEYS still in his hand, when two fright
full electric bolts descended in quick
succession. One struck the burned mill
across the way and sent wall crashing
through the kitchens of the neighbor-
ing houses, and the second, in all prob
ability, struck the lightning rod which
ran down the rear wall Of the Schoer-
ing's factory. Lewis Schoening was
standing some six Or eight feet from the
rod, but il is supposed that the keys in
duced a secondary shock, which was
strong enough to cause death.
Schoening did not fall, but staggered
across the yards to his own kitchen,
and his wife, who heard him striking
against the furniture, came out and
| asked

"What is the-nftter, Lew?'
The stricken man only seemed to
laugh in answer, but it must have been
the contraction due to shock of the IA
cial muscles, for he fell senseless on the
floor. and later developments indicated
that his bran was senselcss from the
first.
Although DIR. Scboening was a per.
fectly healthy man when he stepped
out Of his house, he was not able to ut
ter word after his return, and his i'll
ness was only prolonged death. The
attendant symptoms were sufficient
proof that it was no ordinary stroke,
and medical researches have brought
to light several similar cases.

HASTY WORDS.

Could we but know the sorrow caused
By words in passion spoke,
How often would we bid them pause
Ere from the trembling lips they broke?
The chord OF love, in many d heart
Hath yielded to the fearful strain,
And by the pressure caused to part,
A wreck, where peace once loved to reign.
Yes, hasty words, when once they pass
The lips OF anger, whence they fall,
Like surging billows dashing past
Can never ty US be recalled.
True, we forgiveness may obtain
From those on whom the shadow fell,
But still the dreadful scar remains,
We cannot its effects dispel
All, hasty words like Goals OF fire
Intensely burn whereon they rest
And knowing this may we aspire
To quell the passions of our breast.
A wounded spirit, who can bear
The arrows which from passion dart
Into the loving bosom, where
NOught but true love has formed part?
Think, when the hasty words you feel
II spoken then, may cause wound
Which time itself can never heal;
Restrain the feeling ere It's doomed.
Each heart has burdens of its own,
Deep waters, though which it must pass,
Some bitterness, which it alone,
Must bear as long as life shall last.
Then add not to the burdened soul
By hasty words, unkindly said,
But let The wings of love unfold,
And peace and comfort round you spread.

A PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP.

Mr.. Harper and Miss Kingsley
were the editors of the Smoky CITY
Independent, or rather he was the
editor ard she was his assistant. She
edited the womans column, gathered
the fashion news, and often wrote
the verses for the poets corner, and
sometimes. when they were short OF
composltors, she would set a few
stickfuls of type. Her position was
no slnecure, by any means. Smoky
City was progressive town; women
voted at the school meeting, and
there was some talk OF nominating
lady for mayor OF course the
womans column of the Hdebeudeut
must have much to say about woman
suffrage and the like. Virginia
Kingsley was a progressive woman;
she believed In these things So
she drove her pen nearly through
the bottom of her ink stand, and
wrote sharp things, TO the admiration
of the female portion of the COM
munity.
Miss Kingsley and Mr.. Harper
were the best of friends. They were
not in love with each other. Brad
Harper had never been in love, and
as for Miss Kingsley, she was too
busy 10 think of such a thing.
When she thought of Mr.. Harper
it was as sensible man. with no
nonsense about him, and he admired
her tor her pluck and grit Some
times she said that much OF the sue
cess OF the INDEPENDENT was due TO
her energy.
They were on the most comfort
able terms and called each other
Kingsley and Harper with a total
absence of formality. He called her
Kingsley at first by mistake, for he
often forgot that the busy scribbler
at the other desk was not man.
He used to apologize for it, and
straig ghtway repeated the offense, and
she said he could not help it and
that she did not mind, since it
sounded so very business like. Just
for the fun of the thing she often
dropped the mister from his
name.
Miss Kingsley did not object to
tobacco smoke which was fortunate
thing, since they had but one Office
between them, and Mr.. Harper
could not write unless he had a
cigar in his mouth. He often telt
some compunctions of conscience
when the room became particularly
blue with smoke, and once he said
My dear Kingsley, l wish that you
would take up some horrible habit
and avenge yourself. Couldn't you
chew gum, for instance'
Don't mind me, Miss Kingsley
replied good naturedly. If objected
l would let you know very soon.

Union Pacific Repairs.

The Union Pacific road has been put
in repair from Umatilla down to Willows
junction, and the people of Heppner are
again in communication with the East.
1t is expected that the road will be open
from Portland to the Cascade Locks by
Saturday night, which will help out
wonderfully in making repairs from
there to The Dalles, as it will enable
material of all kinds to be sent to the
front, and also by barges from Cello to
points along the line, which will enable
the work of repairing to be carried on at
several place simultaneously. Over 1000
men are at work between Bonneville
and Willows. It is expected that the
line will be in working order to the East
by July 10Th.

The weather continues cool, partly

The harvesting of rye is now in pro-
gress in the Columbia river valley,
where also the barley will soon be
ready to cut. Winter wheat is verv
promising. Spring sown and volunteer
crops will make a good yield. In Wasco,
Gillian and Morrow counties the wheat
prospects rival those of Sherman and
Union. The hay crop is heavy Some
hay ranches and orchards were ruined
for this years crop at least by the flood
in the Columbia. The fruit prospects
are generally very bright, though the
late frosts did do considerable damage.
II have never seen better prospects for
good crops" report several we'll known
correspondents. To the south of the
Columbia river valley the late frosts, ex-
tending up to the middle of June, did
considerable damage, especially to vege-
tables. A Grant county correspondent
reports ''the fruit crop very short, al

A Burglar Around.

Last night between 1920 and IL
O'Clock Arthur Stubling, who delivers
the Telegram, got through his work and
went home. Lately on account of the
boat not arriving until dark, and it tax
ing Arthur until nearly midnight to de-
liver the papers, Mr.. and Mrs. Stubling
have been in the habit of locking up the
house and retiring, one OF them getting
up to let him in when he came home.
This was done last night. Mrs. Stubling
who got up, at once discovered the
9kitchen door was wide open, and as it
had been bolted it was pretty evident
that something was wrong. Arthur
picked up a pistol and went to the back
door, as he opened the screen door, a
man jumped from the porch into the
garden, and ran. Arthur fired but
missed him. BY this time Mr.. Stubling
had gotten out, and taking the pistol
from Arthur he fired three or four in
etfectual shots at the retreating burglar.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Stubling dis

thing in his house in the shape of valu:
ables, but would prefer to have his
visitors come up and make search in the
daytime.

A Knotty Problem.

The problem of getting a solid track
across and around the sliding mountain
at the locks is one worthy of the steel of
the civil engineers of the country. Just
now the attempt is being made to put a
grade along the face of the slide. This
may stay for few weeks but is liable to
go out at any moment. The fact that
there seems to be no other way of get
ting around it is the only reason this is
being attempted. 1t may do for tenn
porary arrangement, but something
more substantial will be required before
the regular traffic of the road can be
carried on.

Struck by Lightning.

Miss Addie Shaw, niece of Sheriff
Ward came in from Antelope yesterday
evening. From Mr.. Ward we learn the
particulars of an accident happening
there few days ago, as told by her.
The victim was Mrs. Gleason, who was
struck by lightning, but fortunately
escaped with her life. A small thunder
storm was in progress but not of suffi-
cient violence to cause comment. Mrs.
Gleason was engaged in her household
duties about the kitchen stove when the
lightning struck her but whence it came
is mystery. The bolt took effect near
the right hip bone, burning the flesh in
a round spot as large as ones hand, and
from this running spirally to the left
down the limb streak an Inch broad
was burned, to the foot. In passing off
the whole side of the shoe was torn out.
She was standing on nail in the floor,
at the time and the lightning melted
this on its way out. Mrs. Gleason was
confined to her bed at the time Miss
Shaw left, but there seemed to be no
doubt at that time, but that she would
recover. This is the second person re-
ported struck by lightning in Oregon
this year, rare occurrence indeed. but
what makes this case remarkable is that
there was apparently no loud thunder.
