Miraculous Escape.

lightning played CLONE, Sweet
Home with variations on the electric
connections at the home of Louis L.
Dunn, in Minneapolis. The front of
the building was wrecked, and every
carpet in the house ripped up. All
electric wiring was burned out, and
the bells fell to the floor, while the
telephone box went up in smoke.
Forty people were in the house when
it was struck, and that none of them
were killed is miraculous A recital
was being given by Miss Anna O'Dowd,
a sister of Mrs. Dunn. All of Miss
O'Dowd's pupils had gathered for the
occasion.
Mr.. Dunn and Mr. Gleason attacked
the confiagration with bed quilts, and
subdued the flames in the lower part
OF the house. Then, proceeding to the
attic, they had hard fight, because
the fire there had gained good head
way. Fifteen minutes from the time
the lightning struck all dang err from
fire was past.
The appearance Of the house inside
was chaotic. A checker board which
lay on the floor among the children
was shivered into splinters The bolt
seemed to have lodged between the oc-
cupants of the apartments to do it's
work..
Crop Bulletin.
There were rains nearly every day Of
the week. The rains came in very
heavy showers, and generally accom-
panied by lightning and thunder. In
Mobiles, Murray and Redwood coun-
ties there were tornado conditions on
the morning of the 18th, with violent
winds, covering small areas, and caus-
ing considerable loss to town and coun-
try buildings. In other parts of the
southern half of the state there was
hail at scattered points, which was
very large in size, but fortunately in
| small amounts; but the only crop in
jury seems to have been in Big Stone
county, where many corn fields were
seriously injured. With seasonable
| temperatures and abundant moisture.
all the small grains are doing splendid
ly; late sown flax and barley, and those
seeded on spring plowed land, are
coming up and growing nicely.
Strange Drowning.
By the overturning of a boat in Snail
lake, st. Paul, Thomas P. Cronin and
! Louisa Ellwanger were thrown into
the water. Cronin started to swim to
shore and asked the woman to cling to
him, assuring her that they would be
|
to the boat and was later rescued by
three boys. Cronin was caught in the
mud and drowned. There was no part
of the lake where the water was more
than four feet deep. Cronin was an
employe at the St. Paul Foundry and

 herself to the emperor and said:
 None of us could ever have supposed that our people are so poor After reaching SiNgan-Fu the empress dowager ordered the Governor Sen to set on foot charitable fund for as- slsting the poor and also to establish public kitchens for supplying water and rice free of cost at the same time Sen was reminded by his imperial mis- tress that he had better devote his best attention to her wishes in this respect.

1rA1.Irr 0E LEMONS

| The lemon Is valued principally on l account of it's useful anti-scorbutic properties; and for this reason should be used in some form almost every day in winter as in summer, as the heavier meat diet usually consumed in cold weather creates the same need for blood purifying elements. A wise use of natures remedies as food acoesso- ries will not only add ta the pleasure of eating, but furnish all the digests necessary without resorting to artih- cial help
 The acid of lemon (citric), while too strong to use unless diluted with some other substance or neutralized With oils. is the most digestible and whole some of all acids, and the most ser viceable. as it can be used for all prac- tical purposes when the introduction or an acid is necessary to food. Another great virtue 1t possesses, which Will re- commend it to all cautious housewives, Is that it is natural and wholesome acid, which they may obtain from na- ture's laboratory without fear of adul- teration. although be 1t known that 1t is cheaper to produce purexcider vine-
  apple crop governs the supply, hoWev- CT, and when the supply is less than the demand artificial methods may be re- sorted to. The acid of lemon juice be- ing very sharp, less is required to do the work, and, being almost colorless, it can be used in delicate sauces, Jellles, etc., without spelling their appearance.
 The several acids of vegetable pro- d,1ct all probably act in the process of digestion and nutriaion in much the same way; exerting silvent action ,non many of the food substances. Regarding them in the light or nutri- ments they would be of little value, as they cannot be taken in sufficient quan- tity to perceptibly increase the vital powers. But all foods are not taken with the purpose of increasing force or mower. After using the best materials for building the structure, there are many little provisions to be considered

THE ExILED CHINESE COURT

Life of the Emperor and Empress Dowager at Si-Ngan-Fu.
 Some months ago "The Globe" gave
 an account of the palace at Si-Ngan-
 Flu, which Is the temporary home of
 the Emperor of China, the Empress
 Dowager and the heir apparent. The
 Chinese newspaper "Sin-wen- -bao"
 gave recently some details concerning
 the emperor and the empress dowager
 and the following verbatim translation of them may be of equal interest:
 Since her arrival at Si-Ngan-Fu the widowed empress has been continually ill. She suffers chiefly from an op- pressive feeling on the chest: she is melancholy, and cannot sleep at night; however, she takes no medicine, but she summons the ennuchs frequently. and then they have to massage" the small of her back for hours in the Chi nese method. The emperor on the oth- CT hand Is relatively much better and healthier than he was in Peking; he takes part in frequent bodily exercise with the keenest interest and Is de- lighted to play games with the eu- nuchs; but if anything does not hap pen to please him then he scolds the eunuchs roundly as if he really hated them. When presents were coming in from every province of the empire the empress dowager ordered the chief eu- much to make an accurate list of them, and, without showing any avarice, she had them distributed among the off, clals who had accompanied her from Peking. When the eunuch who drew up the list showed the presents to the dowager she evnced the greatest joy, mingled with a certain amount of restraint, for, although the presents gladdened her, yet she was saddened by the thought that she had been obliged to demand them. The emperor wept bitterly when he saw the presents from the province of Chi-I Of late he has sought solitude in the gardens; but so soon as he sees a eu- much he either troes to hide himself

and paced up and down the sidewalk. All that Secretary Root said was "The
 end has not come yet"
 Despite the fact that the vitality con- tinued to ebb as midnight approached,
 no efforts were spared to keep the spark of life glowing. Dr. Janeway of New York city arrived at the Buffalo depot at 11.40 o'clock. George Urban was waiting for him and they drove at a breakneck pace to the Milburn house. He was shown to the presidents room at once and began an examination of the almost inanimate form. Secretary of the Navy Long arrived This was his first visit to the city and he had the extreme satisfaction of sec ing the president alive even though he was not conscious of his visitors pres ence. Secretary Long was visibly af- fected.
 Shortly after midnight the presidents
 breathing was barely perceptible. His
 pulse had practically ceased and the extremities were cold. It was recogniz-
 ed that nothing remained but the last
 struggle and some of the friends of the family who had remained through the day, began to leave the house.
 The intense anxiety existing among the watchers allowed rumors of death to gain frequent circulation. The ar rival of the coroner gave rise to one such rumor and a flood of groundless dispatches were sent saying that the end had come. These were speedily set at rest by an official statement from within the house that the reports of death were groundless and that the president still lived.
 Coroner Wilson said that he had been ordered by the district attorney of the county to go to the Milburn residence ment of death. He had seen a reputa- ble local paper issued with the an nouncement that the president died at 1156 p. m and had hurried up so that there would be no delay in removing the body. He was very much chagrined when Dr. Mann met him at the door and told him that his services were not required and that he would be noti- fled when he was wanted. Dr. Mann said that the president was still alive and that Dr. Janeway was examining hope but they did not desire gruesome anticipation.

PRES. MCKINLEY DEAD
(Continued from First Page.)


 Secretary Cortelyou, who had been much of the time with his dying chief, sent out formal notification that the president was dying But the presi- dent fingered on, his pulse growing fainter and fainter.
 There was no need for official bull 1etins after this. Those who came from the house at intervals told the same story-that the president was dy ing and that the end might come at any time. His tremendous vitality was the only remaining factor In the re- suit and this gave hope only of brief postponement of the end. Dr. Mynter thought he might last until a. m. Dr. dent was still alive and probably would Mann said at ii o'clock that the presi- dent was still alive and probably would live an hour.
 Thus minutes heightened to hours

 At midnight the Milburn house was the center of a scene as animated as though it were midday, although a sol emn hush hung over the great crowd of watchers The entire lower part of the houes was ,agIow with light and the many attendants, friends and relatives could be seen within, moving about and coming in groups to the front QOOTWdy TOT d DTedCn or ar.

 Several attempts were made before he was at last successful. The crowd enjoyed the sight immensely They cheered his progress and hooted at his trips. It took him exactly one hour and thirty-five minutes to land the peanut. His arms were in rather a sore condition from the hot rays of the sun.
