Electrical Storm.

George Hochderffer. who was in this week from the Hart ranch, reports a severe electrical storm in that neighborhood. During the storm MT. Hochderffer was within a few yards of a tree which was struck. He first saw the flash of lightning apparently about three quarters of mile away, coming thru a pass Ill the mountains. It looked like a huge ball of fire. and 1t bounded along close to the earth. It seemed to be coming straight for Mir Hohderf- fer, but lucky for him the tree intervened and received the shock The lightning struck the tree about 50 feet up, and tore a jagged groove, circling around the trunk, from that point to the root, where 1t tore a hole in the ground three feet deep.

A Mexican sheepherder was sitting under a tree a short dis tance away. The shepherd notic- ed that his sheep were punching around the trees for shelter, and got up to scatter them. He had not gone a dozen steps when lightning struck the tree under which he had been sitting, snap ping it off four feet from the ground. A1tho the tree was tour feet Tn diameter, MT. Hochderffer says there was not a piece of the tree left as large as mans body. -Coconino Sun.

With a bullet in brain
 this hoy still lives

BALTIMORE, August 7.-Little Samuel Appleby, with a bullet hole thru his brain, lives at the City Hospital, furnishing a re- narkable case.
 Little Samuel was the victi4ne of a stray shot fired by one of a party of young ladies who were target-shooting at Miss Amber Holidays home. The child was hit almost over the ear, the bullet passing thru what Is known as the silent area" of the brain and making an exit on the other side at a directly opposit spot from the point of entrance. Not an artery was ruptured, and there Is about an even chance that the lad will recover. Dr. Stick, of the City Hospital, said this nor IT, ing:
 If the bullet was clean the boy may live. Before entering the head the shot passed thru the hat and the hair, and was prob ably cleaned of powder and other substances that usually cling to bullets.

Savannah, Ga. Aug. 16-Eigh- teen miles south Of Savannah the the charred trunk of the body of Joe Washington, the negro as- Sai1ant of Mrs. J. J. Clark, is all that remains to tell the story of the tragedy of last night. Wask- ington has been positively identi- fled by Mrs. Clark. The proof of guilt was conclusive, and in- c1udes circumstances that scarce ly can be hinted at in print.
 The negro walked to his death without a tremor. He admitted his guilt of other crimes. but stubbornly refused to acknuw- ledge that he had assaulted Mrs. Clark. A crowbar was driven in- to the earth, and to this the man was bound in a sitting posture, his legs extending streight in front of him on either side of the bar. A chain held him fast around the waist, while a heavy rope encirc1ed the bar and his neck.
 The leaders of the mob asked Mrs. Clark to apply the torch to the pile, but she refused. Her husband was selected in her stead. Washington looked straight into the eyes of Clark as the latter stopped down to apply the torch. The wood was rich fat pine, and saturated with kerosene oil. The flames leaped toward Washing tons body. He showed in his face no sign of the terrible agony he must have suffered and met death without a groan. -Ex.

A Jerseyman who went out fol for a pleasure drive with his sweet heart not long ago received a needed tho rather severe lesson on the necessity of being humane to animals in this day and generation. It was a very hot day, and when the drive was about half oyer the horse became balky. The driver there upon lost his temper and gave the ami nal an unmerciful beating. Then the trouble began. A con- stable saw him and promptly ar rested him for cruelty to anamils. He was unable to pay the money. and his companion settled the business for him. Then she went home, and wrote him note and this was what 1t said:
 When a man will so brutally beat horse and so easily loose his temper, woman marrying him would take the chance of the same treatment
 And the rest of the note re- leased him from the engagement.
 Most people will De of the op- inion that the young lady in question did exactly what was right, and that she was fortunate nj discovering the disposition of her finance before instead of after mari iage.
 Some men have an idea that women rather admire those who are capable of cruelty. These men are trying to fit sixteenth century ideasfnto twentieth cent ury civilization. It cannot be done. It Is true that women ad- mire a brave man, and often the man III question Is a soldier or a hunter, but there Is a very fine distinction between the brave man and the man who Is ever ready to infict pain. What the modern girl sees to admire in the soldier Is not his willing ness to shoot other men, but his readiness to be shot himself; not his murderous impulses, but his sacrifice of pearsonal safety. The kind of woman who would like a man better after seeing him act cruelty toward helpless animal is not it for a civilized country.

A communication declaring war against the U. s. has beer received at the War Department but no call for troops has beer issued and no excitement Is yisi- ble i'll Washington. The letter, which was mailed at Chicago, and which might have been writ ten by Dowie, reads as follows:
 ITO the Government of the United States:
 Tn the year 1898, the God of This Earth fought battle a. gainst Spain with the use of the United States Army and Navy under the command of the Al mighty God of Heaven. The government officials of America, altho we'll aware of that, under took to rob the Almighty God of the honor of the battle and in- duced their servants to turn down the holy person of the God of this This Earth and brand him liar and lunatic and deprive him of every means of making a living in this country, which, in all IS a conspiracy against the govern- ment of the Almighty God of Heaven. Therefore, the govern ment of Almighty God is con- peled to Declare War! against the United States of America and punish that gang of Conspirators as they deserve. As Supreme Ruler of the twenty-fourth oldest race, I have raised my Godly Government flag over the Inter national flag of the twenty-fOrrt1 1 oldest nation. Yours,
 God of This Earth. Representing the God of Heaven. !"
 Possibly there will come time when great battles will be fought without noise, at any rate, there are men who thing so. There has been several proposals by al- legged inventors looking toward the manufacture of a noiseless or soundless powder, but they never amount to any thing.

An interesting spectacle was wit
messed the other day on the banks Of
the river Soar, near Hathern. by a gen.
tleman resident in the district. Being
attracted by a peculiar cry. he turned
aside and came upon young otter and
a huge eel engaged in deadly strug.

the eel, which had retaliated by wind
ing itself tightly round the formers
neck. The fight lasted several min

and making of with part of the eel,

Much In the Name,

Much In the Name.
Once there were some very swaggel
people in an ultra fashionable village
not far from the metropolis who decid.
ed that no society vet punched together
was exclusive enough for them. Even
the Colonial Danes failed to meet the
requirements. So they determined to
start new aggregation that should be
the real thing.
After considerable thought they con.
eluded that if they limited membership
to direct descendants of Fernando de
Soto it would be sufficiently exclusive
for their fastidious tastes. \ ''Society
of the Sons and Daughters of De Sofa"
was the outcome. All the best people
in the village proved that they were
eligible and We're enrolled as charter
members.
However, there was one man on the
outer fringe whose proof of descent
was not accepted; in short. he was
blackballed, This made him angry,
and he started to investigate the sub
ject.
One day he published his findings in
the local newspaper. The principal
fact was this: 81. de Soto died BACH
elor.'
The Sons and Daughters Of De Sofa
are now known as the Elite Eucher
club.
