STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Steve {. Love
is Damaged,

is Damaged.
During the severe electrical storm
which passed over the twin cities Sun
day evening a bolt of lightning landed
upon one of our homes with very near
disastrous results. Steve z. Love.
fireman on the Green Bay s. Western
switch engine, with his wife and old
est son, were sitting out on the porch
at the north side of their residence,
112 Main street. 1t was about eight
O'Clock when a dazzling spark from
the charged clouds tore bunch of
shingles off the porch roof, ripped a
post from it's position, then turned
east and entered the front room about
one foot above the floor Several
panes of window glass were broken
and the fiery stream left a passage
way through the wall that looked as
if one of Dewey'S six inch shells had
passed that way. The lightning must
have gone out through the windows
as no further damage was done to the
house.
Mrs. Love was rendered unconscious
by the shock for several hours and was
i'll from its effects for two or three
days, but is now cOnvalescent. Her
son had a cap on his head which was
torn across the front by the bolt with
out injuring the wearer. Lightning
plays many curious prankS. Forum
ate indeed are those who stand in
proximity of its pathway and come
away unharmed.

Beyer, the north side cigar manufact-
urer. The boy is not quite eight years

Its Significance.

aye:
The presidents own state has, ii is
true, given decided plurality for the
Republican candidate at the head of tie
ticket, but for the first time in years the
party is In the minority BY many thou-
sands. If the iasue in Ohio were simply
McKinleyism or nti-McKinleyism, then
the condemnation OF McKinleyism as
presented in his Philippine policy was
emphatic.
Tne Jones vote was protest in botS
parties against bossiem ana boodiiDg.
But for the siupendous blEnder OF the
democracy 10 accepting Mclean ss the
head Of their ticket, the issue would have
been squarely defined and the protest of
the anti-boss and anti Doodle republi-
cans would have been by aiding the
election of a democrat. As it was,
that became impTaeticabie. The anti
boss fand anii-bocdIe democrats were !
similarly prevented from expressing |
their protest by voting for Nash, because
he represented the same vicious methods
in politics. There was nothing left, but |
10 stay away from the polls or to vote
for Jones.
The verdict of Ohio was an unquali-
fed condemnation Of bossism and politi-
cal corruption in both parties. Beyond
that there was nothing distinct in its
procurement. Nash was elected by
plurality simply because there was q
more emphatic Reputation of bossism
and boodling in the democratic than in
the republican party. With q better
at the head Of the democratic |
ticket Nash would have been defeated by
his democratic competitor, and Jones
would have cut no figure.

urged that the contributors TO the Dew

remain in the Dewey family, and that
the admiral should have held IL during
his life and left it by viii to his son,
George Dewey, r.. tis even asned here
that il Dewey has cherished political as
pirations, this discourtesy to the people
who made him present Of home has
put him out Of the race.
The motive which impelled Dswey to
transfer to his wife the residence is the
cause of chief speculation. At first it
was thought the intatuAtion OF an elder
" man for his new wife offered a sutfi-
cient explanation, especially when IL was
considered that the admiral is said not
to be particularly friendly with his blood
relations.
Later Developments, however, indicate
that the transaction has touch OF aug

raj, but which does not affect his vile.
This is the story, although for obvious
reasons the name Of the woman in the
case caunot be used:
