During recent thunder storm the
house of c. "A. Lee was struck by light
ming. The lightning struck the chimney
and went down it into the cistern. No
one was injured, and, beyond few shin
giles and rafters being torn no serious
harm was done. "A peculiar feature
about 1T was the carpet ON one of the
floors was completely covered with SCOT
so that 1t was impossible to tell the
kind of its grain and the lace curtains
in the same room Were just as clean
as If they had just come from the wash.
Webster City.
Tuesday a portion OF the cornice on
the north side of the city hall fell. Luck
lily, at the time of the accident, no one
was in or about the building, so that no
one was injured by falling brick. The
building, which is approaching the last
stage of construction, vas finished Mon
day to the top of the second story. A
gang of workmen by rapid work had
completed the cornice. At the particu-
lar place where the wall fell the work
had been done too rapidly. The mortar
had not set and the weight of the pro-
jecting cornice was too great. In conse-
quence of It's own weight and the vet
mortar the cornice fsl No damage
other than the delay Of replacing the
fallen section, resulted.
Marion.
The people Of Coggon are int erested in
the outcome of a trial held at Marion.
| in which Professor Imam OF this city
defends his action in regard to the chas-
tisement of a boy in the schools here
last April. The punishment was in
| ficted by the professor with broad
strap upon the back Of young Water
house. whose parents objected to the
! violence of the punishment. The case
was tried before Justice Coquillette, WHIT
| decided in favor of Waterhouse Pro
fessor Inman then carried the case to
the district court and about twenty of
Coggons citizens Were in Marion to

| The Martin Telephone Company will
do considerable amount of under
ground cable work about the city this
sary TO be put in to meet the increasing
| patronage will be pulaced Underground
The company is now doiEs some of this
work on Wilson avenue. The cable is
| strung in a trench, and man-hoes are
sunk at every block for the purpose OF
making cable connections. This is {
| great Improvement. as veil to the cit.
as to the company. 1t does away with
the unsightly poles along the street and
| the necessity of trimming beautiful
shade trees that may interfere with the
wires. The work of Keeping in repair
the cable laid underground is much less
that if it We're strung upon poles.
