Scientific men who have made a
study of the causes of lightning flash
in electric storms and the means of
protection from being struck by a
bolt, say that metals on person like
knives ETC., have no influence, that
feather beds have no protection, that
the notion chat lightning will not
strike twice in the same place is a
false notion, and the only real salts
faction one can have in a thunder
storm, as to safety is, if one lives to
see the flash they are safe for that
time. They advocate long and per-
sistent efforts to resuscitate those
who are stricken, as many who have
been thought dead have been restored
after an hours effort. They calcul-
ate that where an electric storm pre-
walls the chance of being struck are
about one in 100000.
The right of the pedestrian on an
established street crossing over any
vehicle whatsoever except those of the
fire and police departments is abso-
Lutte and yet every day we see this es-
tablished principle of American law
violated by fast drivers and by others
who are not driving fast. Perhaps
you do not know it but you have no
right if you are driving to force any
pedestrian to stop and wait till you
go over city crossing. You are the
one who is supposed to stop; you are
personally liable for damages.

universally known and remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world since 1868 for the

losing it's great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German

OIL DEVELOPMENT.
Local Company Delayed On Account
 of Shortage in Casing.

G. B. Meiser, Secretary of the St. Francis Valley Oil, Gas and Mineral Co. is resting on his oars and doing nothing, expecting every day the ar- rival of new casing from St. Louis, which was ordered over month ago and which ought to have been here before this time. When the work of boring was begun near Bard the auger had gone but short distance before it was found thatsmaller cas- ing than that being used was neces- sary. This forced suspension of operations until new casing could be had and which is expected every day.
 Concerning the work of the com- pany at Lake City the Jpnesb boro En- terprise of yesterday contains the following:
 Some fifteen or twenty samples of various sorts of ore, minerals and coal were sent in today at noon and are now on exhibition at the Citizens Bank. Coal was found at depth of sixty feet, and at depth of 170 feet limestone was found. Various bot ties of different colors of sand were found at from 20 to 100 feet under the ground.
 It is confidently believed now that some mineral of great value will be found when this hole in the earth is a little deeper. And the stock of the company is DOW rapidly being sold."

Mammoth Spring, Ark. 3-12-19O2 EDITOR SoLIPHoNE:
 Since last Friday evening ] have been giving myself up to pleasant and luxurious comfort in the spacious Nettleton Hotel here at Mammoth Spring, where during the day the eye can gaze on the wild freaks of nature as shown ill the craggy hills, deep valleys, ,danc- ing brooks and beautiful river. Where wonderful spring bursts forth from under the mountain and flows down over falls and and dams, sending up a slumberous monotone as it falls, that brings rest and peace to the tired body and soul. How delightful I have slept, and how fresh I feel. My my! what an appetite. This is certainly a beautiful little town hid away here in the hills, as happy and peaceful as lane, with none of the city airs to spoil natures beauty nor to drown with it's hum of business, natures sweet song. They have arranged to hold a chautauqua assembly here in June, and will have fine program. This will give many chance to visit this wonderful spring at a small cost. This is simply spring river bursting from under the ground and rolling rapidly away as clear and sparkling as the dew drops. l leave on this evenings train for Springfield, Mo-, to at- tend the meeting of the General Assembly of the c. P. church.
 I feel hearty and we'll, and while l came here by the kindness of some of my friends to rest little before going on to the assembly, 1 have preached five times Tn a re- vival here and don't feel any worse for it. Yours frat,
 w. T. THURMAN.

 One of the most terrible outbursts Of volcanic action that have eyer taken place in modern times was the eruption of the volcano of Krakatoa, in the strait of Sunda, between the islands of Sumatra and Java, in the year 1883, between the months of May and August.
 Like Pompeii and St. Pierre the town of Batavia and surrounding towns thought themselves safe from any manifestations on the part of KrakatOa.

Subturanean Upheavals.

The destruction of life and proper ty by volcanoes and earthquakes is appalling. History records many Of these catastrophes, Vesuvius being responsible for the greater loss of life. Since the destruction of Pompeii and Herculanium there have been fifty-six eruptioas of Ve- sevius, the deaths resulting being from 10 ,OOO to 10000 persons. In the 1531 the city of Lisbon exper- fenced an earthq oake shock, followed by submarine volcanic distur bance, which swept the city, destroying 30 900 lives and felling l 300 houses. A portion of the city sank beneath the sea, where it stands to the pres- ent day. Among the other disasters of this character were the following: Port Royal, Jamaica June ', 1892. Earthq uake shocks, generally supp posed to have accompanied submarine volcanic explosions, ruined portion of the city and killed 3 GOO persons. Sicily, Septem Der, 1883. Volcanic eruptions destroyed fifty-four cities aud towns and 300 villages through out the island and more than 100 900 lives were lost.
 Jeddo, Japan. in 1703 was visited by an earthquake caused by volcanic eruption, which destroyed the city and surl ounding villages and laid claim to 200 ,O00 victims.
 Ia May and June, 1716, Algiers was visited by earthquakes, preced- ing volcanic disturbances, which killed 20, GOO people.
 Pekin was visited November 30, 1731, by earthquake shocks, general ly attributed to volcanic action, when 100 ,O00 persons lost their lives. The city of Lima and Callao, Peru, were simultaneously visited by earthquakes following volvanic eruptions, on October 20, 1746, when IS ,O00 persons were killed. On Novemb Der l, 1755, Lisbon was again visited by a destructive earth quake, due to volcanic action during which from 30 900 to 40, 900 persons perished.
 On February 4, 1797, seismic dis turbances, caused by the eruption of Mexican volcanoes, swept from Santa Fe to Panama, in which 4O,- 900 persons lost their lives. In 1912 Caracas. Venezuela, was swept by the most disastrous earth- quake in it's history, though it has since been visited by many. In that
 year 12 900 persons were lost in the
 tidal wave and earthquake shock
 which swept over the city, accom-
 panylng submarine volcanic erup-
 tion.
 On May 2, 1S42, Cape Haytien, Santo Domingo, came into the focus of submarine disturbances, and, as a result, 45 ,O00 persons were killed.
