Heavy Rain at MarshnIItown.

NtARsHALLTOWN, Ia, May 27-(Special
Telegram.)-A terrific rain storm amount
ing to almost a cloudburst struck this city
at o'clock this afternoon. Two inches Of
rain fell in half an hour accompanied by
heavy hail, which did immense damage to
window glass, fruit and gardens. Some Of
the hailstones measured eight inches in
circumference. The creeks are bankful and
the Iowa river is rapidly rising and threat
ening an overflow. Cellars are flooded and
residences inundated. Terrific lightning ac-
companied the storm. Three boys about IL
years of age named Ed Peterson, James
Sheets and Lee Duncan, took refuge in the
judges stand at the driving park. Lightning
struck the roof of the structure, tearing out
one side, crossed on the wire to the amphi-
theater and partly destroyed that. The
boys were knocked down and badly shocked,
but medical aid restored them.

Doctors Can't
Cure It!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercural and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.

out the cranks.
The stalwart young man, relates the
Chicago Tribune, careessly lifted his cap,
replaced it, grasped his bat with a firmer
hold, moved 1t in graceful circles over his
shoulders, while the pitcher was doing the
preliminary mysterious juggling with the
ball that marks the gh-priced player and
as the leather sphere-it is the correct form
to call it leather sphere-came toward him
like rifle shot he swung his bat
"Ah!" groaned the crowd.
He had famed the air.
This phrase is also the correct form.
Again the high priced pitcher juggled the
ball mysteriously, again it came like a rife
shot, again the young man at the plate swung
his bat
And again the crowd groaned:
"Ah!"
The high-priced catcher rolled the ball
carelessly down to third. put on his mask,
came close behind the bat, spread his high
priced legs apart, placed his hands on his
knees, leaned forward, and made an i'm
preceptible signal to the high priced pitcher.
The vast crowd held its breath.
Which is also the correct thing to do at a
critical moment like this.
Like a shot the ball sped toward the plate
With a mighty lunge the young athlete
swung his bat third time.
1t smote only the air.
Another groan burst from the crowd.
He had not only struck out, but put the
side out.
"Mr. Spoonamore," said the young woman
in the pink shirt waist, turning with pale
cheeks and flashing eyes to the pmply- faced
young man who sat by her side. II said mo-
to you the other day, / say yes now. / will

HORSE HOTELS.
Stables in Which Transients Arc Received
as we'll az Regular BoardeBs.

Scattered in various ports Of the city there are
stables that might be called horse hotels. in which
transients are taken. we'll as regular boarders;
of boarding stables there are many. and there
are some stables in which stalls rented.
A truckman who rented stall in q stable would
feed and care for his horse himself simply hiring
quarters for the animal. Much oftencr horses
are boarded A truckman having say ten horses
or more would most likely keep a stable Of his
own, as would any business concern running
an equal number of horses. An owner keeping
less than ten would be likely to board them.
At the boarding stables entire oare 70 taken OF
the whole outfit. The food Is provided and the
horses arc fed and cleaned and tho harness Is
cleaned also. The driver has nothing TO do with
any Of this work When he drives into the stable
and steps down from the truck tho stablemen take
charge. They unlock the horse and care for 1t
and the harness, and they hook the horse up in
the morning. Whom the truokman comes for his
truck he finds il ready, and he simply drives out
and goes of about his days work. There are
thousands Of horses employed in the city that arc
regular boaIders by the week or month The
transienta, horses that are put up for day more
or less may be city horses or horses from out of
town horse disabled from any cause would
very probably be taken temporarily TO the nearest

of these stables pending repairs to the vehicle
There are always more or less people driving into

Persons who live where soil is abundant can

one Of the clerks in a Broadway florists house,
when we have had no many calls for earth for

who have only few plants, say one 10 a dozen,
depend upon the nearest florist for their earth
Either there are more plants owned now than
ever before or there is more repotting being done
for after taking care OF our own stock We have
been unable to furnish all the earth asked for

He loaded wagon with nice, rich earth, which
he got for little or nothing up in the country and
then made house toulouse canvass in the neigh
