Lightning.

The most terrific shower for years broke
upon the village during the noon hour
Tuesday, the lightning striking in several
places and wind and hail running crops.
At Rawson Newton's on Chestnut hill
the lightning struck the barn, killing an
OK and damaging the barn somewhat, but
did not set it on fire. The lightning also
struck Geo. NJ. Wright's barn on the Gu
pola, making its way completely over the
barn and killing fat hog, while the three
men at work in the barn did not feel the
shock. A section of the tobacco fields OF
l.. F. Liscomb and G.. 5. Smith was cut
down by hail, although no hail was noticed
in many places. No other serious dam

A COMMON CAUSE OF SICKNESS
IN WARM WEATHER NOTHING so DAN
GERoUs AS DEcAYED FOODS.

Every one knows or ought to know that
decayed foods are poisonous. Boards of
Health seek to prevent their sale.
We now have in mind the results which
follow the decay and decomposition of foods
after they have been eaten for unless diges-
tion occurs within reasonable time after our
meals, decomposition sets in
If dyspeptics will stop and consider for q
moment some of the symptoms of their
trouble, such as disagreeable breath cructa-
tions of gas or bad taste in the mouth they
will understand that they all must come from
docayng foods that ought properly to have
been absorbed into the system
Spots before the eyes, dizziness, slecplcss-
ness dyspeptic headaches are but a few of
the effects following the absorption into the
blood of poisons developed from decomposng
and undigested food that lies in the stomach.
1t was q recognition of this important fact
that caused the Mount Lebanon Shakers to
devote so much of their time to the prepara-
tion Of a remedy for dyspepsia, and nothing
is more efficient than the Digestive Cordial
which they have recently placed on the
market
Its action is so prompt that relief frequently
follows the very first dose, 1t restores the
appetite and increases the weight. Plump
ness and strength take the place of weakness
and that care-wom expression which points
out the dyspeptic- in every community. The
local druggists are now giving away interest
ing descriptive pamphlets.
Try twenty-five cent bottle of Digestive
Cordial and see what it will do for you.

THE BELFRY MURDER.
The Defense WIN Introduce Witnesses "a
Show That Durrant Il Innocent.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-A local paper
prints a sensational story about the de.
fense which will be offered in the trial Of
Theodore Durrant for the murder OF
Blanche Lamont. The statement is cred.
tied to person connected with the defense,
and is as follows:
"The albi viii be strong, but the de.
fense has witnesses to show that Durrant
not only did not commit the murder, but
will indicate who did it, There will be
more than one implicated in the murder.
Witnesses will testify that they saw the
girl enter the church on the fatal after
noon with a certain man, and at that time
second man was in the church.
'Thcre the defense will rest its inquiry.
II will not attempt to prove that these
parties did commit the murder, The state
mcnts as to this are SO dircotsthat they will
leave no ground for the prosecution to
stand on, so far as Durrant is concerned "
John T. Dare, prosecuting attorney in
police court No. 2, will be one of the states
witnesses. His son, Starr Dare, has al-
ready testified to finding the wearing ap-
parcl of Blanche Lamont slowed away in
She rafter5 and under the floor in the
beltry.
Detective Gibson, who discovered two
blocks of wood under the head of the body,
will also testify. These blocks if properly
identified and proved, are of considerable
Importance in the case, for they tend to
show that whoever it was that placed the
body Of the murdered girl where it was
found, had knowledge Of the customs in
vogue in the dissecting room. The head
rested on these blocks just as the head of a
corpse in a dissecting room would have
done. Durrant is a medical student True
there is nothing direct about the evidence
but it is considered good link in the long
chain of circumstantial evidence upon
which the state expects TO make out its
case against Durrant.

rible appearance, and crowd of excited
people quickly gathered. Rocker made an
attempt to escape, and stepped to the front
door with the bloody razor i'm his hand
Seeing that it would be impossible to do
so he made some remark about killing the
first man who attempted to lay hands on
him, and then cut his own throat The
act was witnessed by number Of persons
The blood ran freely from the wound, and
the man, after staggering about for a few
minutes fell. The crowd started for him,
but he arose and held them at bay with
the razor. He then left the house and ran
three squares, followed by a great crowd.
When Elizabeth street was reached he
jumped on a street car, where he was cap
turcd by Patrolman Bolan
Mrs. Rocker, after receiving the terrible
wound, started for the city hospital, which
