Confusion From Lightning Flash

Attorney George M. Jones OF Dover,
drove down to kits Hammock with
his family, attending the annual ex-
cursion of the Dover Presbyterian Sun
day school, and, on returning, the party
was overtaken by severe thunder
storm. A binding flash of lightning
caused Mr.. Jones horse to pitch across
the road and the occupants of the car
riage were dumped into a deep ditch.
All their table furnishings, including
silver knives and forks were lost, and
the children were so soaked with water
and mud that clothes had to be pro-
cured from a neighboring farmhouse.
Several of the accompanying excur-
sionists were alarmed, thinking that
Mr.. Jones' team had been struck by
the lightning and the occupants in
jured.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unles the Inflammation
can be taken out and the tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Summer Shirt-Waists


This is where every woman
is tempted to extravaganza.
No matter how many she may
have, she is sure to want the
next pretty shirt-waist she
sees. So if you're trying to
save money you'd better not
come here and see these at
$I.25 and $3.50.
Handsome white waists for
less than usual, and a good
many sorts.
This year everything that
can be is pleated or hemstitch-
ed or trimmed with embroid-
cry. There are two kinds in
this lot. Some with flare cuffs
and some with shirt cuffs.
Fresh and crisp and ready to
put on.
Other styles, but Of striped
gingham; a great many colors;

Women's Short Skirts
Linen, $2.25; blue pique,
$3.50; imported, $3.50; and
white pique, IS and So.
And the Stafford" S4-we
used to call them golf skirts,
but gclf IS the least important
of their uses. Women are
wearing them by the sea, in
the mountains, in the country,
for bicycle riding, and most
important Of all they are wear
ing them on the street with
shirt-waists and are going to
wear them.
But the Stafford is the
latest and opens in the back
with the new fashioned plac-
quet under pIeat, SO that
there is no danger Of its yawn-

deal designed to control all passenger
business in California. within the ter
ritOry of the two companies. The
main features are an Interchange of

no Santa Fe passenger trains to Los

One matter that enters as an impor-
tant factOr into the arrangement is
the agreement of the Santa Fe to keep
nut of the Los Angeles business. Al.
though it has Il line between here and
Los Angeles, by means of which il
could compete for a share of the large
and profitable passenger business be
tween the two points, 1t will place no
