Deaths caused by lightning in the
animal world are infrcqucnt. The
chief victims are sheep and cattle
which gather under trees in thunder
storms and are consequently killed
when the trees are struck. That is the
case In this country, but in South
Africa lightning constantly destroys
stock i'm the open. During the war the
following classes of animals have been
mentioned as being killed 10y light.
ming: Horses. mules, trek oxen, sheen
and pigs. Several soldiers have been
killed. their rifles probably exposing
them to additional danger Recently
pigeon was killed 10y the lightning
I'm curious way. II had made its nest
on piece Of old wire netting. which
the haymakers had thrown up into the
tree when cutting the grass. On this
platform the pigeon built its nest.
After thunder storm in August the
keeper went TO the tree To ferret out
rabbits. Under IL he found the pigeon
which was sitting on eggs, quite dead.
Ii was uninjured except in one wing.
This was burnt black, all the feathers
being burnt of and the flesh scOrched.
On the tree was the lightning mark.
IL had struck side branch and gone

The La Moure county delegation to
the state convention vas named by R.
W. S. Blackwell. candidate for attor-

was a candidate for reelection as state
superintendent of public instruction.
The convention was held at Edgeley,
and MI. B%lackwell's forces had one ma
jority upon the vote for preliminary
organization. Upon seeing this. Mr..
Devine himself moved that Mr.. Elack-
we'll name the delegates to the state
convention and the matter was TINS
settled. In speaking of the matter to-
day Mr.. Devine said that while many
of his friends wanted him to fight the
matter further by contrasting some of
the delegations, he decided not to do
so, but to abide by the decision as
reached. 1t is claimed that many Of
the Blackwell delegations were elected
by the help of populist and democratic
votes. cast late in the day. and after
the republicans supposed the voting
was through with. MI. Devine says
that he is satisfied that he never was
stronger with the republicans of La

time, and he is content with that and
satisfied that in the long run, justice

ings inaugurated by the Florence Crit
tenton circle of Bismarck, was held in
the Methodist church last night by
Rev. C. S. Mason, travelling evangelist
of the National Crittenton mission, as
sisted by Rev. J. S. Miller, pastor of
the church, and Rev. A. w. Hayes, of
the Presbyterian church.
A larger audience was present than
was expected on a holiday. Music was
furnished by an excellent choir. The
meeting was opened by Rev. ]. s.. Mil
Ter, in a few appropriate remarks rel
ative to the object Of the meeting, and
the Importance of this great work for
humanity.
Rev. A. w. Hayes then led in earnest
prayer that touched the hearts Of all
present and breathed the true spirit of
sympathy for suffering humanity. In
powerful words he invoked the bless
ing of God upon the work about to be
inaugurated in this community, and
for the advancement of Gods kingdom
on the earth.
Rev. Miller, in a brief but eloquent
address. introduced the speaker with
words of appreciation for himself and
the cause in which be is engaged, and
welcoming him to Bismarck.
Rev. e. s. Mason has been for TWEEN
ty years engaged in his present work,
He is a magnetic, eloquent speaker
and held his audience spelI-bound as
he told of the great work Of rescue
now going on throughout the world
and of the salvation OF that large class
who for six thousand years had been
under the seryitude OF sin. but tic
whom at last had been opened a dool

Of the Florence Crittenton mission and
OF the 5000 souls already saved
through their agency, and described

Mr.. EATON recently visited the Flat
heads and bought several perfect spec
linens from the buffalo herd, for which
he found ready sale in the east. He
also secured options on nearly all the
pure bloods on the reservation. For.
years he has maintained the dairy
herds at the Yellowstone Park hotels
and posts, and this spring he was as
sured by Major Pitcher that the buff
falo herd in the park was running
down and that some new blood was
needed. In Washington, President
Roosevelt welcomed the opportunity
for the government to add to its herd
of the 'grandest big game animals
that North America ever saw The
president wrote a personal letter to
Secretary Hitchcock asking him to-
take charge of the matter, and i'm
mediate steps were taken to add
enough to a pending appropriation bill
to make the desired purchases.
Aside from the old time friendship
between the president and Mr.. Eaton,
a factor which prompted the Washing
ton authorities to take the matter up
with vigor. was the fact that the lat

the government without taking any

Thus Does a Prominent Brooklyn, N.Y. Woman, Speak
Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

When a woman of the prominence and social standing of Mrs Atherton
whose portratw we are herewith permitted to reproduce, voluntarily furnishes
u with a letter of such unqualified endorsement as the following, W e feel
that we not only W her a debt of gratitude, but all women who are ill
should feel under deep obligations to her, for she tells them in unmistakable
words where they may look for a cure and not be disappointed.
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia e. Pinkham,s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer
as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; in
fammatons; liberation, falling and displacements If the womb; backache;
irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely h volume and char
