was named for one of the grand.

Daniel Boone. There were but
few settlements in Kentucky
prior to the first settlement in
Boone county. The great
grandfather of the writer &C

families emigrated from Mad

in 1905. At that time Cincin-
natl, Ohio consisted of two
brick houses. two frame houses
and few log cabins. A farm
and; orchard were where Gov
ington now stands. These ear
ly settlers were strict Luther
ans and soon met at the home
of George Rouse and organized
a church. The history of Boone
county we CLEAN from "A His.

H. Max Lentz, who for eleven
years was pastor of the church

Professor Henry of the national
weather bureau has compiled some sta
tistics on lightning which show that in
the year 1900 there were T13 persons kill
ed by lightning in this country and 973
injured by lightning. Placing the pop
ulation at 600 the chance of being
killed by lightning that year was as one
TO 112,201, and the chance of being
struck. that. is either killed or injured,
was as one to 47.449. fractions not con-
sidered. Lightning statistics have been
collected since 1890, and the returns
show that the average number of fatali-
ties from that cause per annum is be-
tween zoo and 800. Where the popula-
ton is the most dense, that is, in the
cities. the danger is the least This ex-
emption from peril in towns is said to
be due to the presence of such vast
masses of metal and conspicuous OBJ
Jects such as tall buildings, electric
poles. metal roofs. thousands of wires,
all of which have the effect of relieving
the tension of thunder clouds and dissi-
pating their energy. In 1900 July was
the worst month for fatalities, the num-
Der being 202. June came next with I6S.
August next with 166. May next with
102. the other months following in their
order being September. March. October
