Last week we noted the fact that ]. c.
Nc Donough, organizer for the Modern
Woodmen of America, had come to Dick
inson for the purpose of organizing a To-
cal camp of that order. We believe in
orders of the character represented by
Mr.. Nc onough, as they make it possible
for the poor man. or man in ordinary cir
cumstances to have some life insurance
for his family, and we hope to see a local
organization perfected here.
The Modern Woodmen does not 90
into large cities or the southern states,
and does not take men engaged in haz-
ardous occupations. These points must
recommend the order to every thinking
man.
The rates are low, only enough to COW
er cost Of insurance. The order is we'll
and favorably known throughout the
northern states, especially in the north
west, and at this time has over 100000
members.
For the information Of persons who
may be interested we publish the rates
below:

Sunday night a severe rain storm. ac-
companied by a great deal of lightning,
visited this section. Rain came down in
torrents and during the storm a bolt of
lightning struck Alex. Montague's resi-
dence on Sims street. The greatest de-
.struction was wrought in the chambers,
where it was very general. Great holes
were torn through the ceiling and walls,
furniture was splintered and broken into
fragments. particles of glass carried
across the room and driven into the wall
on the opposite side, etc. The main por-
ton of the bolt seemed to have passed
out through the west gable, tearing a
great hole. The south side of the roof
was torn up badly and the center CHM
ney will have to be rebuilt. Down stairs
less damage vas done, although a good
deal of plastering was torn up and thrown
around and quite a number of dishes,
vases, ETC., were broken. Mr.. Montague
and three or four friends were by the
dining room table on which was a lighted
lamp. This and all other lights in the
house were instantly put out. Mr.. Mon
tague says that he felt as though he had
received a stunning blow on the head.
He struck a match and called to Mrs.
Montague, who was in the adjoining
room, to bring a cloth with which to pick
up the hot lamp chimney, and rushed up
stairs to extinguish a ie which had
started in the carpet. No n was hurt
and no member of the household lost
consciousness for a moment; but it was
one of those close calls. Lightning also
struck the same night in, a rock pile in
the rear of Frank Kihm's residence.
R. c. Robertson returned a few days

Some time ago, a little bottle of Cham

to no purpose, but the little bottle of

speedily cured him.-William F. Jones,
