A Close Call.

ClOSe Call.
Tuesday afternoon heavy thunder
storm passed to the north Of this place,
giving us one edge Of the storm, and a
little laterit was followed by lighter
storm. Mr.. J. C. Show has reason to
remember the electrical effects OF the
afternoon, for he came within the shad-
ow Of death itself. He was blowing
on Mr.. Web Shows place just east of
town, and had just passed locust tree
being not more than thirty yards from
it, when bolt oflightning struck the
tree, tearing it into sphnters and up
roofing it. The shock threw Mr..
Show and both Of the horses fiat to the
ground, where they lay for some little
time stunned and dazed. They fl
nally discovered they were not killed
and got to their feet, and though no bad
effects have resulted Mr. Show Will
not soon forget the terrifying incident.

MERELY BAYARD'S VIEWS.
Speeches of Our English Ambassa-
der In No Wise Official.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-The presi-
dent today made answer to the house
resolution calling for information as
10 whether Ambassador Bayard did at
Edinburg and Boston, England, deliver
speeches referring TO the American peo-
pie as strong, self-confident and
often-timeS violent people, whom it took
real man to govern, and to the in
satia bic growth of a form of socialism
styled protection, which has done more
to corrupt public life" etc, and if so
what action has been taken thereon by
the president
Ihe answer is in the shape of a letter
by Secretary Olney, enclosing copies of
the two speeches, which have already
been published in the American press,
and stating that except as revealed in
the correspondence, no action has been
taken on them by the state department
This correspondence begins with a let
ter from Mr.. Bayard to Secretary OIL
ney, written before the former had re-
ceiVed any official communication on
the subject, but in view of newspaper
agitation of his alleged breach of official
etiquette, Mr.. Bayard in this letter calls
attention to the fact that the Edinburg
address was delivered by invitation be-
fore society purely literary and scien-
tif1c in character; that no political cam
Great Britain at the time; that the ad-
dress consisted of his personal opin-
ions, upon governmental institutions in
general. and that there are precedents,
as in the case of his predecessor, Mr..
Lowell, for an ambassador of the
United States delivering an address un-
der such conditions.
On Jan. Secretary Olney cabled to
Mr. Bayard for details regarding the
Boston speech. and on the following
day Mr.. Bayard replied recounting his
participation in the closing exercises of
the school at Boston. His address up
on the occasion. he said, was i'm
promptu. and "a kindly, humorous.
post-prandial tone prevailed"
Mr.. Bayard adds that the sending Of
a copy of paper containing a report
Of the address to President Cleveland
and to grandchild in Boston. Mass.
constituted all the Qualification" in
the United States which he had given
1t. Mr.. Bayard adds that in the report
of his Boston address there are griey-
Gus errors, but as he spoke without
preparation, he had nothing by which
to make comparisons or to show in
Just what those errors consisted.

to the adoption of the improved collec-
ton facilities in ST. Paul
Congressman Kiefer today called at
the supervising architects office and

there to prepare a report on the result
of the recent inspection of the public

possession all the information that is
available, so that he can properly pres
ent to the committee on public build
ings and grounds this bill to secure an
appropriation of 100000 for an i'm
provement in-the building. 1t is prob
able that the supervising architects
report will be ready by tomorrow for
Col. Kiefer'S use.
