Last Tuesday John Peace, a farmer
who lives in the Flatwoods. lost a
horse in a way rather peculiar. On
that day, while moving a meadow, the
team drawing the machine were fright
ened by a brood of birds disturbed by
the mower. flying into their faces.
The horses with the mower, ran at
breakneck speed until the sickle struck
a fruit tree in the field. This threw
both horses to the ground, n of them
breaking his neck. 1t is said they
we're thrown fully thirty feet.
During the storm Tuesday afternoon
lightning struck the barn Of j.. w. Har-
raj in B%elleyiew. There were seven
horses in the barn and all of them
were knocked down. Two of them,
belonging to H. Nj. Collins, the Iron
ton livery man, were killed. The
team had been driven out there by a
travelling man, and the horses had
been put up for dinner when the light
ming struck the barn. The other
horses were not badly hurt. Light

unusually large.
Mr.. Root, Secretary of War, was in
St. Louis last week, and Saturday in
spected Jefferson Barracks. Accord
ing to the Chronicle, ''he declared that
the post would soon be enlarged
to it's full facilities" s'Its full facili-
ties' means much. Jefferson Barracks
includes 1900 acres of ground, and as
q shipping or distributing point, it
takes precedence owe all posts in the
country, both in point of location and
in transportation" With the enlarg-
ed utilization of the Barracks will lee
.essarily come an enlarged utilization
of the Rifle Range in this Valley, and
next summer will no doubt bring a
remarkable change in that now quiet,
lonely reservation.
Beginning with next Wednesday
evening the subjects at st. Paul's
Church will be as follows in

for the change of name, the
meaning OF ritualism, the practical
