rNINe DOES DEADLY WORK.
Two Little Children Killed Although
Taken to the Cellar

Webster City, Ia, Aug. 4-The spark
OF life in two little bodies was snapped
out in the twinkle of an eye and the
havoc that lightning played within the
city limits for almost an hour during
one OF the severest electrical storms
that ever visited Iowa seems incredible.
The dead are: Minnie Lupus, aged .;
Carl Lupus, aged 4. The spire of the
Baptist church was shattered; the ele-
vator owned by the Webster City Ele-
vator company was struck: the hand
some residence of Edward Burgess was
in the way OF bolt: the iron roof of
the Queen livery barn, owned by Will
lam Wilke, was torn from the building:
barn belonging to Burt Butler was
struck and his horses killed, while trees
were shattered on every side.
Mrs. John Lupus and her two little
children were at their home southeast
Of the city when the fatal crash came
The mother had just taken her three
children to the cellar, and with her
Oldest daughter was standing at an
epering in the basement, watching the
progress of the storm. The two little
Jnes were huddled together in the rear
corner. Both Mrs. Lupus and her
daughter were stunned by the flash.
As soon as they recovered from the
shock they turned to the children and
found them both dead clasped in each
others arms. The same bolt had done
the work.

day. There has been no change SO
far at Oak Hill. The statement by
the miners that only two men are
working may be true. The demon
stration against DE Armitt has had
the effect Of decreasing the capacity
Of $40 cars to AZ, with the probable
ity OF being further reduced.
The miners at Schmoke's mines on

ferred Sir Ellis to the statement made
by the Marquis of Salisbury in the house

miers speech. Sir Ellis and other MEM
ners of the house then vigorously pro-
tested against being referred To state
nlents made in another place and asked
the speaker if there was any precedent
for such proceeding. The speaker said
there had been precedent for such ac-
ton during this session of parliament,
early in the session, which led to vehe-
ment protests upon the part of the op-
position.

Sir Charles Dixie, as to whether her

sumed the debate on the first reading Of

Hammacher, National Liberal, said
that his party unanimously approved
the principles Of the measure and at.
tached the greatest Importance to the

trade, the speaker thought the CONNER.
cial policy Of the United States and
Great Britain should be particularly
considered. Herr Hammacher said:
1.-THE United States undoubtedly
wish to protect themselves against our
exports, but matters are coming to such
a pass that other American republics
are joining the United States in order
to form a zollverein.
"Pan-Americanism is for Germany
still more momentous than Monroeism.
The United States are not to be con.
sidered on the same footing as a single
European state, but rather as an entire
continent with regard to producing, and
my opinion, which is shared by emf.
nent statesmen and has also been re.
Gently expressed by Count Goluchowski,
is that European states will in the com.
ing century be obliged to cooperate in
order to support each other in this
struggle for existence with America"
