Three Good Things.

Three good things, this the
Queen of the Prairie's, the me
tropolis of the county. has that
few other towns have or enjoy.
First; The unlimited supply OF
water that has been appreciate
ed by the citizens during the
drouth to the fullest. Second;
The beautiful park that has
given shade and shelter TO thou
sands during the excessive
heated term. Third: The band,
composed of some of the bright
est and best young men Of the
the city, If it had not have been
for the band concerts at the
park the ladies1of the various
churches could not have Carried
out their many little entertain
ments as successfully as they
did. And again, had not
have been for the park it would
have been impossible for the
Union services conducted by
the different religious denomina
tionS to have been what they
were. Each evening more peo-
pie attended those services
than if they had been held in
the church buildings, and as
the ministers suffer by heat as
other mortals do, it gave them
a rest and put the one conduct
ing the service on his metal so
the services were good, were
above an average and not be
ing of doctrinal turn have
done a good work that cannot
be computed.

PLAYS Havoc in Residence but no
One Injured.


The home of the Cook family, in
Kenwood, was struck by lightning.
The house is a two story structure
with a large brick center hue. The
bolt entered the fue dashiDg 1t TO
pieces and split the smaller part
going to the ground foor knocking
all the stove pipe down, raising
clouds Of SCOT, sealing the plaster
ing and going through the floor
making large hole. The larger
and main bolt followed a stove pipe
leading to the north upstairs room,
where a large amount Of household
goods were stored, scattering the
pipe like paper, tearing a large
hole in the west wall, then proceed
ing to 90 through and set fire TO
the cushioned chairs, which con-
tanned wire springs, going through
every one in the room, and every
thing containing steel, thence to
large bed sitting in the corner
where it dislocated every spring
and set fire 10 the mattress, then It
tore through the northwest corner
of the nouse, bulgiug the wall as
it sought the ground.
The terrific noise awakened all in
the house. who luckily were un-
hurt, bat slightly dazed John
Cook and Albert Kipp who slept
Just across the hall from where the
principal damage was done, were
first up. The presence of mind Of
Mr.. Cook probably saved the house
from being burned to the ground.
He realized the situation and amid
the terrified cries Of his sister be
called for water and began imme-
diately to fight fire which he and
Mr.. Kipp did valiantly for half an
hour, finally extinguishing the
flames Kipp's hands were slight
ly burned
Everything in the house was
more or less damaged, the house
presenting a battered condition to-
day, and the miracle is that no one
was killed. Misses Almeda and
Bertha Cook sleep next TO thestrick
en- room and the force of the shock
covered them with SCOT, in fact
everything and everybody in the
house was covered with SCOT and a
great deal Of scrubbiug was requir.
ed this morning.
The bolt of lightning which
struck the Cook home was the only
one occurring this morning as no
thunder storm was on and the rain
had stopped, but the lightning was
a sumner, and awakened the city,
even the soundest sleeper was
aroused -Enid Wave.
