Death from Lightning.

The severe electrical storm which
swept oyer this section about five
O'Clock last Monday evening caused
the death of Mrs. Frank J. Mar
shall, near Sylmar. AT the aps
proach of the storm Mrs. Marshall
went up stairs to lower.the windows
and when about to descend to the
lower story a bolt of lightning
struck the end of the house, part of
the bolt glancing off struck a cedar
tree near by. A hole was torn
through the roof and the lightning
then ran along the rafter plate until
about midway, when it entered the
garnet stairway and tore off the
door, crossed the passage and shat
tered the partition, broke a number
Of papes Of glass from the window,
and finally descended to the cellar.
Mrs. Marshall was not struck by
the bolt, bat received a heavy shock
and pitched headlong down the
stairs, breaking her neck in the
fall. In the room below were her
three young children, a daughter
and two sons. They were also
stunned and the daughters eyes
have since been seriously affected.
When the children recovered
they found their mother lying at
the foot of the stairs and life ex.
tinct. Mr.. Marshall was in the
woodshed at the time and was no.
titled by the cries from the children.
Mrs. Marshall was in her 39th
year and her funeral was held on
Thursday, interment at Friends
burying ground, Calvert.
AS the storm passed over the
neighborhood below Rising Sun the
lightning struck q number of trees
and telephone poles. 1t also killed
a COW belonging to Saml. Brickley
and two pigs belonging to VIM. r.
Cameron.

Comparison Of Candidates.

A level head Republican discuss
ing the candidates said:
"NOt for one moment mas Bryan
retraced his steps. He was nom
mated the first time on a principle
he enunciated. He has stood for
it faithfully and refused to give il
up. | tell you there is ia large class
of the people who admire, and who
will support man who will fight
for a principle, especially if that
principle is near to them. They
are going to support Bryan this
year because he has stood for a
principle aud refused to be turned
from it.
Mckinley has changed policies
with every breath. He voted 81
times for free coinage while in the
House and Al times for bimetalism
Now he is for a gold standard. The
people do not like that kind OF
shifting. Remember, I'm Repub-
lican, but | am simply pointing
out what is a fact.
This shows wide difference be-
tween Bryan and Mckinley. The
former believes in a principle or
principles which he thinks are
right. If the people differ from
him, all right; that will not change
his mind. But the people ought
not to have candidate differing
from them in opinion, and he will
not occupy such a position.
Mckinley, on the contrary
stands for any principle or no prin-
ciple. 1t matters little to him. He
would like to be President and
throw principle to the dogs.

Agriculture the Base of American
Prosperity.

Jim Keene, the Wall street finan-
cier, was recently interviewed by a
New York Herald correspondent.
Among other things he said:
"The great proposition / hold to
lis that agriculture is the base OF
the prosperity of the country-that
and such collateral things as beef,
pork and lard. You may attempt
to evade the proposition, but it is
of no use. Bad crops give bad
stock markets; good crops give good
stock markets. Without them you
have no prosperity. We have
been increasing our exports of man
ufacturers' goods in a way which is
very tiattering, but this increase
has been made at the expense of
the American, who has paid very
high for it, because the tariff is
excessive. Our manufacturing
business is on stills, Americans
paying 80 per cent more for manu-
featured goods than they should. =
