KEITH'S

kEITH'S The chief event of the
summer season at Keiths
will be the appearance in vaudeville Of
Peter F. Daley and his company in "A
Dress Rehearsal. Aside from his great
personal popularity the play in which he
will be seen IS said to furnish highly en-
ljoyable half hours entertainment. There
are five people in this company and
each is said to be thoroughly capable ex-
ponent of the part assigned. Another
novelty in the bill will be the first appear

that of Stella Mayhem, 1.-THE girl from

said to be first rate act of its kind. The
names mentioned thus far demonstrate
that because of the engagement of Mr..
Daley, most expensive one, there is no
desire to reduce the value of the remain

The Rev. R. t. Leary, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, is seriously
i'll at his home here, suffering from men
tai trouble. On Sunday he insisted on
filling his pulpit, and in order to dissuade
him from the idea that it was Sunday
none of the church bells were rung. No
services were held in the church, which
is located next door to the parsonage, his
congregation worshiping in hall few
blocks away. Mr.. Leary's trouble was
only noticed on Wednesday last, when he

The new gates at the railroad crossing,
in which our residents took so much in
terest and pride, seem to be blessing
with string to it. They are not in op-
Grafton from 7.20 p. m. to 700 a. M,
leaving the crossing unprotected at night,
when it is needed most. Drivers and
others will become accustomed to the
gates and forget to look for trains. Thus
the crossing is really more dangerous
than before the gates were put up.

Destructive Fire.

The old saying that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place was proven
to be false last night when the barns on
the farm of George W. Lundy, near Ar
ney's Mount, were struck and entirely de-
stroyed. Mr. Lundy had retired and
about ten o'clock got up to shut the win
dows to keep out the rain He had
scarcely turned when there was a sharp
flash of lightning and on looking out Mr..
Lundy saw the bright glow of fire and he
knew at once what had happened He
dressed quickly and went out. His men
had also seen the fire and hurried to the
scene. The only live stock in the barn
were few calves and they were soon re-
leased Efforts were made to save ma
chinery and carriages and much was
hauled from the flames, but considerable
was destroyed.
The destruction was complete, nothing
being saved but the house and that would
probably have gone, too, but for the rain,
which fell in torrents The buildings de-
stroyed were barn 72 by 36 feet, 16 feet
high on the north. and 80 feet high on the
south; wagon house, "A by % feet, 16 feet
high: stable and wagon shed, "a by So feet,
% feet high; ice house, 16 by IS feet. Mr..
Lundy had just completed gathering and
threshing his grain. In the barn were 450
bushels of wheat and rye, 10 tons of rye
straw and the same amount of wheat
straw, so tons of new hay, new grain
drill, two disc harrows, corn shelter, seed
sower, marking out sled, new shelvings,
and lots of small tools, shovels, hoes, etc.,
all of which were burned The carriages
and some machinery were saved
The barns cost $4,000 and there was
So, 900 insurance. On the crops there was
$3.50 insurance, and this will be but a
mite. The net loss to Mr.. Lundy will
probably reach s., 000
This is the second time lightning has
struck in the same place and curious
coincidence is that it is just eight years
since the other fire which occurred on the
21st day of July, 1894, the only differ
ence being in the day of week-the first
being on Saturday. That fire occurred
at five O'Clock in the evening.
