Bad management keeps more people in
poor circumstances than any other one
cause. To be successful one must look
ahead and plan ahead so that when
favorable opportunity presents itself he is
ready to take advantage of it. A little
forethought will also save much expense
and valuable time. A prudent and careful
man will keep a bottle a Chamberlains
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in
the house, the shiftless fellow will wait
until necessity compels it and then ruin
his best horse going for doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays
out rs cents. the other is out a hundred
dollars and then Wonderfully his neighbor
is getting richer while he is getting poorer.

Severe Electrical Storm.

Rising Sun had a midnight pyro-
tecnic display on last Tuesday night
which far outshone anything that
can be gotten up for the GLORIOUS
Fourth" About one o'clock
severe electrical storm swept over
the town and for about twenty min
utes the vivid flashes of lightning
and heavy peals of thunder made
the houses and inmates shake.
Quite number of places were
struck, but strange to say no SER
ious damage was done. A bolt
struck Pogue's windmill and shat
tered one of the standards, tearing
out about ten feet of the stick at
the top and scattering the splinters
over the shop roof. The lightning
then left the standard and went
down the well via the iron pipe,
causing very muddy water for a
day afterward.
A porch post on DR.. Dare's farm
house was struck at the top, under
the caves. The fluid descended
the post to wire clothes line which
was wrapped around it, followed
the line to a cross line where it
went in both directions, chipping
the bark from a number of trees
where the wire touched.
A shed attached to Stephen Reyn-
olds' barn was struck and set on
fire. Mrs. Reynolds saw the flame
and FASTENED to neighbours for
help, but before she returned Miss
Edythe Wood had extinguishsd the
flame with bucket of water. An
examination the next morning
showed that the barn had been
struck in another place, the bolt
passing down the side of the hay
NOW and tearing several joists from
the barn.
The telephone exchange in Reyn-
olds' drug store was wrecked, all
the wires being burned out. The
switch board was blackened, a large
calendar hanging by it torn to
pieces, and number of loose
articles scattered over the store.
A tree standing near John Her
ford's tenant house near Calvert,
was struck and shattered. The
falling limbs broke ont window in
the house and sent the debris flying
over bed in the room. A boy
sleeping in the bed knew nothing
of the occurrence until awakened
by his mother.
The flag pole in front of the
school house at the Brick was
struck and demolished.
The flag pole on the Oxford
Milling Co.'s flour mill was also
struck, and the Waterman seeing
the bolt descend into the mill,
sounded the alarm and brought out
the fire company. Their services,
however, were not needed.
The storm continued in a north
easterly direction through Penn
sylvania, doingconsiderable damage
to buildings and stock. The rain
fall was very heavy while it lasted,
but as soon as the storm passed
over the full moon shone out in a
clear sky. The storm did not ex
tend much below Pennington or
beyond Conowingo on the west.

WALLACE, Idaho, June 25.--Last

pared to hold meeting. and invited
the Missourians at the Standard mine
to attend. The authorities forbade
the holding of a meeting. Later the

then filed demurrer to the indict-
ments, which the court promptly over
ruled.
These tests were all made on one

WANTS TEN
REGIMENTS
They Are Needed to Rein
force Otis.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-A special tt
the Herald from Washington says
p President Mckinley will authorize the
enlistment of additional men for the
Philippines when he returns to Wash.
ington. This is the understanding OF
we'll Informed war department officials.
The administration has at least come
to recognize the necessity of reinforc.
ing General Otis command. Tt is ap-
parent that some department officials
are figuring on the advisahility of
. eniistiug sufficient men to form 10
complete regiments.
Acting Secretary of Var Meiklejohn
said if the president authorized ad
ditional men, the number would be
determined after a consultation with
General Otis. II would not be sur
prising were the department to hear
from General Otis before the return of
the president. in order that the latter
may be supplied with the necessary
information in order to take immedi-
ate action.
SIN any event." said Mr.. Meiklejohn
"there is little probability of formal
call for volunteers. State organiza-
tions will not be accepted, although
there are many applicants on file from
them for muster in aud be dispatched
to the Philippines The president,
I think authorized the department to
direct it's recruiting officers to make
enlistments, and I am confident that
men can be obtained in such numbers
as to form complete organization and
he ready for service with General Otis
during the fall mouths"
Should the president authorize the
formation of 10 regiments. recruiting
officers will have to obtain 1900 men
to fill them. At least 1000 men will be
required for the three volunteers
organizations which General Otis has
authority to organize. making about
10000 of the $4,000 men of the pro-
visional army, the enlistment of which
is authorized by the law.

tary authorities in the Coeur d d'Alenes.
The speakers were: Judge Willi4m
Clancy, of the district court: Peter
Breen, and T. S. Hogan, secretary of
state. Mayor Mccarthy , presided.
Speeches were made .denouncing the
military of the government for as
suming to dictate to the men of th e
Coeur d'Alenes whether they should
leave the ranks of union labor or sur
render their right to earn a living.
The resolutions adopted condeh hned
the imprisonment of men at Wardner,
s'held and tortured to wiring from their
lips words which might be used to
establish their guilt, under conditions
which make the Spanish inquisition
pale into insignificance."
The resolutions characterize as in
famous the brutality exercised by the
military authorities over the men who
died in the bullpen, denying them the
right to religious consolation at the
hour of death. They called upon
President Mckinley to order cessa-
tion of this usurpation of power.

oregon State Fair.

SALEM, Or. June 23.-The state
board of agricultural met yesterday at
the capitol. The purpose of the
meeting was to complete arrangements
for the annual state fair, to be held
this fall at Salem. The board expects
to make the coming fair one of the
most successful ever held. Under the
new law providing an appropriation
for the fair, only one mem Der of the
board resides in Marion county. 1t is
expected that this will increase the
interest in the fair among the resi-
dents of outside counties. The state
has been divided into four districts,
each to enter competitive exhibition
OF products, four prizes being awarded
therefor. This is a new feature that
will addsto the general interest taken
in the fair. The last legislature made
an appropriation sufficient to pay of
the outstanding Indebtedness, and the
board will be enabled to proceed with
the annual exposition unincumbered
as heretofore.
