SHATTERED IN HER HAND.

Mrs. G w. Santman, while ear
rying an umbrella over her on Mar
tin street near the Lutheran Church,
on Saturday evening, while the storm
was in progress, had quite thrilling
experience. The umbrella was shat.
tered in her hand. The wood ham
die probably prevented her from re.
ceiving a very severe shock from
ightning.-Stdtesman.

We dislike very much to refer to
any persons prosperity, and would
not do SO ,except,we believe it should
be divided around. We all have
our duties to perform, but the pay
and the duties should not all be
placed on one man. There is Bro.
Boyer, of the Statesman, wrestling
with Dodd on sales, postmaster, Gus
todian of the Government Building,
(two Offices with pay), also, they
seem in confidence with the County
Court and the ex-Sheriff, who place
advertisements. Pretty well fixed,
brother. We will have to stick to
the cob, and you can get the corn,
but remember especially that official
time is limited, and there comes an.
other day at the end of it.

Debs, well-known as an anarchist,
or near to them, and a parasite on
good government, has abandoned
the idea of crushing the people with
free silver for the benefit of the mine
owner. Now, he says that social
ism will be the issue in 1900. If we
mistake not, it has always been an
Issue, and you choose your own COM
paAy. Debs needs to look out, for a
search warrant could not find, among
practical decent people any one who
would want to associate with him.

WHAT PROSPERITY DEPENDS ON,

The Hon. George M. Pullman is
somewhat of philosopher. While
he has discovered signs of returning
prosperity, he very rightly says
"After all, prosperity depends upon
the people themselves. If they make
more than they spend, and keep at
it, the country will prosper" Of
course, that advice is somewhat cas-
Ter 10 follow. if one is in the position
OF Mr.. Pullman and makes more
than he can spend convenieDtly-it
is good advice, nevertheless.-Balti-

THAT GLORIOUS CUMBERLAND
Valley.

THAT GLORIOUS CUMBERLAND
VALLEY.
On Thursday of last week, feeling
sick and sore and out of sorts, we
took the train on the G. V. r. R.
for Harrisburg. The trip did us
good. We had the pleasure OF
meeting two of our children at one
enc of the route. We believe they
were glad to see The old man and take
lunch with him. But what we
want to say, is not as to our person
atty, but for the great and wonder
full acres of growth of wheat, clover
and all other growing cereals useful
to man. In that great valley, there
were acres and acres of wheat, rye
and oats bending to the breeze, and
nodding to the sunlight. In other
fields, husbandmen were handling the
patent ploWs IN the cornfields and
tickling Nature into a joviality that
will give an increased reward by a
bountiful crop of corn. 1t is aston
ishiDg the amount of local travel
they have, but it would not be SO
astonishing If people would take a
trip through that sublime and beau.
tiful valley oftener. 1t leads into
ours, the flower of the South, the
Shenandoah Valley of old, where
the scenery is grand, and where our
people try at least to keep nearer
our brothers of the Cumberland Val
ley. Both are rich sections, with
agreeable people, and people cannot
make any mistake in taking a trip
through both valleys.

London, June 23.-The last stroke OF
IL had not died away on Monday
midnight air when from some metro
politan belfries a tumultuous peal OF
bells announced Diamond Jubilee Day
The vast crowd that filled the miles OF
streets and squares answered with
ringing cheers, and here and there the
singing of God Save the esleen."
Early in the morning the work OF
clearing the streets for the great pro-
cession was begun, and it was a her.
cluean task, for the people persisted
in crowding into the gayly decorated
streets DESPITE the efforts of the po-
lice. By the time the procession ap-
peared, however, a semblance of order
had been secured.
The route was kept by troops in re-
view order, standards and colors car
ried, infantry of the line carrying rolled
capes, volunteers, in addition, haver-
sacks and water bottles. The men took
position one foot in front of the curb
stone.
The army, in the various arms Of the
service, presented an imposing array
OF almost 10000 men, which. with those
in the procession, formed the flower
of the British soldiery-infantry, cav
airy, artillery, engineers, ordnance
men. men of the army service. militia,
yeomanry. volunteers, cadets and men
of the medical staff. A description of
the uniforms would fill fair sized
book, so varied were they.
The pageant was dramatic and his
toric. The lord mayor, in his robes of
office, meeting the sovereign at the city

Halifax, n. s., June 24.-The United

a string of other flags on Sackville

by Thomas Lownds from his residence.
The flag was very large one and
only the band of it was left on the rope.
Some time ago Mr.. Lownds received
