Larned, Kan, August 1S.-At the
town OF Hanston, twenty miles west OF
here, the 5-year-daughter of MIR. and
Mrs. Samuel McPrease died, or seemed
to die, Sunday morning. Funeral SER
vices took place yesterday. On the
way to the cemetery the metallic cas-
ket was struck by a bolt of lightning,
and split open. Thereupon, to the
amazement aud CONSERVATION of the
funeral party, the child sat up and
called for her mother. The horses
were knocked down, but no other dam
age was done. The little girl is In a
fair way to recovery. 1t is believed
she was iu cataleptic state, from
which the shock of lightning aroused
her.
People living in the vicinity of Han
ston, who we're in the funeral process

necton with the occurrence. Some of
them say that just prior to the flash

IMPROVES MARCON1 SYSTEM.
Prof. SIaby Shows the NaiSer How
He Sends Ten Messages Simul-
taneousIy to a Common Point.

Prof. Slaby lectured at Berlin on his
discoveries in wireless telegraphy. EN-.
peror William, the postmaster, a mum.
Der of military and naval officers, sa'
wants and engineers attended.
Prof. Slaby calls the system spark
telegraphy in preference to wireless.
because the spark has hitherto been
indispensable for using the method.
He announced that he and Count
Arco, by infinitely studying the prop
critics of the electric waves from the
transmitter, had discovered means foI
removing a great defect in the sys'
tem-namely, the impossibility of tel
egraphing simultaneously from severa,
stations to a common n by a singh
wire.
Prof. Slaby exhibited hix instru.
ments, by which, by the use of an cleo
trio spiral coil which he calls a multi
plicatory, he claims to extraordinarily
increase the effectiveness of the sys'
tenn. Demonstrations were made with
two stations respectively IA and -four
kilometers distant, which were con.
nected with the lecture hall. Message,
were received from these stations 81
simultaneously and ten times quicker
than by the present system.

La grippe u.s.. strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, a variety OF acute
catarrh which is SO contagious and runs q
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe it is
not a very fatal disease, but the condition
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death of a countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
Ia grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged by the per-
nicious effects of this disease. The major:
ity of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them of all the bad effects which Ia
grippe has brought upon them, what an un:
told amount of suffering could be averted!
Thousands have already heard how quick:
ly this remedy will cure in these cases and
have been saved; but tens of thousands have

THE LORDS REWARDS.

LA Ah H-
Trust the Lord to see you when you play .
Christians part,
Trust the Lord to hear you when you soothe
the orphans heart;
Trust the Lord to guide you through the
dangers Of the day,
Rise up in the morning always trusting
that the Lord
May be always pleased to keep you in the
narrow, righteous way
Trusting or and hoping on to gain the
sweet reward
That never is forgotten when you kneel at
night to pray.
Trust the Lord to see you when you do a
noble deed,
Trust the Lord to know it when you fill the
widows need;
Trust the Lord to watch you and to keep
you in His care,
Trust to be rewarded when it's time for
your reward, @
But waste no precious moments beating
blindly in the air
Calling out for blessings and for favors
from the Lord
Just a little duty lone is worth a life of
solemn prayer.

Bobbie Walthour lost his all in the

$500 getting ready for the contest and
lost everything because Charlie Miller
quit Miller had a guarantee, but Wal

family and he became discouraged over
the prospect. In the % mile unpaced
race in New York ne won 1859 and in
the same style of race in Boston he OBJ
tanned S136 more. In the Boston six
day race he won $3.50 and when his ex-
penses had been paid out of this he had

Partisan promoters who have arranged
with him for his starring tour abroad.
This issthe largest preliminary bonus
ever paid to an American cyclist for
going to Europe and it is the more re-
markable in view of Taylor's stipula-
ton that he will not be required to
race on Sundays. Taylor seemed to be
in splendid. condition. He never uses
liquor or tobacco, even when in train
ing. He said he would stick faithfully
TO his Sabbatarian principles, no mat
ter what the cost, and his white teeth
cleaned, as he added: Il reckon six
days in the week will be enough for
them to find out what | can do
Taylor is the first colored rider who
ever went abroad as the champion of
America. He is not apt to get much
favor from promoters or racing men,
but it is probable that there will be
less prejudice against MIN in France
because Of his color than there has
been here. If he proves over there to
be another Zimmerman or Baker, the
crackajacks here will be bound in
common sporting sense to accord to
him a rousing reception on his return
and good treatment thereafter, no
matter what their personal prejudice.
