STRUCK BY lightning.
Buildings of Charles S. Edwards Destroyed
by Fire. ~

During the heavy thunder shower
last Thursday the farm buildings OF
Charles S. Edwards, situated on the
hill road to Stowe, about three miles
west of this village, were burned.
About l O'Clock Mr.. Edwards, who
was in the house at the time, was
startled by an unusually heavy clap OF
thunder and running to the door dis
covered that a corner ofthe hay barn
fartherest from the house had been
struck by lightning and a fire was
fast getting under way. He made a
desperate attempt to extinguish the
flames, but as there was a strong
wind blowing directly toward the
house, the buildings were all doomed
before re-enforcements arrived.
Nearly all the furniture was remov-
ed from the house, but large part
was ruined by smoke and cinders.
Two loads of hay standing in the
barn were runinto theyard and both
caught fire from sparks and burned
with the wagons. The horses, the
only stock in the barns, were removed.
but several harnesses were destroyed
Charlie is up against hard luck
surely, and has the sympathy of the
entire community. Mr.. and Mrs Ed.
wards are now occupying the OLD
house on the A. j. Douglass farm
near the scene of the fire. They are
very grateful for the assistance rem
dered by their neighbors. The esti
mated loss is about $4,000, with in
surance of $2500. He will not re
build this year.

1t Is q fact. which is recognized by
psychologists and others, that the de-
privation of one sense renders the 9TH

, Every blind violinist either plays in
tune all the time or out of tune all the
time. His information Is habitually true
Or false. If a blind violinist possesses
talent for music and his ear has been
trained carefully he will not play out
of tune: he simply cannot do so.
The most notable example Illustrating

"A Homespun Heart"

primitive and homely truth of life,
coupled with remarkable dramatic
power.
Mr.. Reid is one Of the few dramatic
authors that know how to treat what
may be called sacred incidents without
becoming maud1in or suggesting bias
phemy or some kindred offense. For ex-
ample. he has introduced in "A Home

I HE pioneers of Montana will meet
In Missoula, October 3, 1 and S,
for the purpose Of talking over


in Missoula, October 3. 1 and s.
for the purpose Of talking over
old times and seeing the sights
Of that section. A programme Of
entertainment Is now being arranged by
a committee composed Of Judge HI. F.
Woody, William Cave and H. c. Myers
of Missoula. The gathering will be prob
ably the largest the pioneers have ever
held in the state and is sure to be fruit
full in the rejuveIAlAn of the good. bad
and Indifferent events Of which the life
of the early settler in these parts was
so prolific. Some Of the old saw more
OF the koleidescopic views OF frontier ex-
istence than did Others but all witnessed
and experienced a sufficient number OF
the ever changing conditions to make an
interesting story. The first rush of gold
seekers to Alder and other guiches OF
Montana; succeeding stampedes which
bristled with untold hardship and excite
ment; the stirring regime Of the road
agent and his determination by those In
favor of law and order are series OF
events in which interest never falters or
fails to command attention. not only
among the pioneers themselves, but IN
the ranks of those whose advent in this
region dates from more recent period.
The society of Montana Pioneers has a
membership of about a THOUSAND persons,
nearly one hundred of whom reside In
Butte. When first organized only those
who had come to the territory during or
prior to 1863 or We're on the way In 1863
were eligible to membership, but realiz-
Ing that to confine the membership to
those who came here at such remote
period would soon reduce the number to
a minimum and eventually leave only
the memory of the organization the time
limit was extended year. Later on an
other year was added and then Col. w.
+. Sanders. q member of the society. al
vocated the admission of all those to
membership who had been in the terri
tory and state thirtyth three years, max
ing the time when the state is thirty
three years old the limit. The matter
was debated before the society, and al
though it was opposed by some Col. San
ders won the day. The adoption OF tina
colonel's suggestion means that the So
ciety will remain in existence many years
more than it would had the membership
teen confined to the pioneers of the early
sixties, for there will be many late COM
ers to take the place of those who from
time to time crossed the languid river
20 enjoy the reward which they earned
on tn side, but which many have never
received.
The society was born in Helena about
q years ago. Mr.. Fergus. after whom
Fergus county was named. was Its first
president, George w. Stapleton of this
city was it's first vice president and
George Irwin, now postmaster Of Butte,

will mean that Butte will get the very
best Of the road productions which will
come in this direction.
That John Mcguire Is still held in the
highest esteem by theatrical people gen.
orally, Is evidence by the fact that al
ready he has received numerous tele-
grams and letters congratulating him
on his again assuming charge OF the
Grand and wishing him all manner Of
success in his latest venture. Many Of
the kilograms are from theatrical men in
New York.
