DEATHS BY LIGHTNING.

The United States Weather Bureau
will shortly issue an interesting COM
pilation of statistics concerning NOR
tally due to lightning. The Stats
tics of 1900 show that during that
year 713 persons were killed or
fatally injured by lightning. Ofthese,
292 were killed in the open, pa in
buildings and 81 under trees. twas
impossible to obtain information as
to the circumstances of the deaths of
the remaining.151. The report states
that most of these who persisted
while under trees, would have been
alive today had they not sought such
shelter. Not only are trees danger
Gus places of refuge, but it is said to
be almost equally as bad to huddle
under machinery or grand stands or
in the vicinity of flag pole or any
tall object standing in the open. The
average number of deaths caused by
lightning in this country SO far re-
corded has been about 800 a year.
The most remarkablefatality record
ed was that ofthe death OIL persons
from one discharge while sheltering
in a zinc-lined shanty beneath ariver
pier in Chicago. The statistics also
show that the greatest mortality
from lightning occurs in the Ohio
valley and the middle Atlantic States.
A portion of the report treats OF
the relative danger of certain situa-
tions during a thunderstorm. By
studying these one can learn to avoid
the most dangerous exposures. The
report strongly comments on the
danger of standing beneath trees.
Other places are doorways of barns
in proximity to cattle, the vicinity of
chimneys and freplaces Or the termi-
nal of a wire clothes line. Especial
attention is called to the fact that
majority of supposedly fatal cases of
shock are not so in reality. The ap-
pearance of death is due to a tenn
porary paralysis of the respiratory
system and the action of the heart.
Prompt and intelligent treatment by
a physician will generally result in
recovery. This treatment should
last over an hour, the important
point being borne in mind to preserve
the warmth of the body by all
methods, such as by applications Of
the hot water bottle or cloths, hot
flannels or warm salt bags.
To the majority of persons
thunder storm possesses more orless
terror, but if we will only stop to
consider that with the population of
approaching 100000 in this
whole country the average is only
about TOO deaths per year, the
chance is so infnitesimal as to be re-
garded in complacent manner. To
many persons a storm is an in
spring sight and it would be well if
we could all train ourselves to seek as
safe shelter as is possible and then
look on and view this wonderful and
inspiring exhibition of the force of
nature.

A SENSIBLE GOVERNOR.

On Tuesday, Governor Jefferson
Davis, ofArkansas, pardoned a negro
by the name of Andrew Thompson
on condition that Thompson go to
Massachusetts within the next thirty
days with the intent of becoming a
citizen ofthat State. Thompson was
recently convicted of assault with in
tent to kill, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for three years. In
granting the pardon, the Governor
made the following endorsement on
the application:
Having just returned from the
North and having heard many ex-
pressions of sympathy by the citizens
of Massachusetts for what they were
pleased to call the poor oppressed
negro of the South, and desiring that
they shall have an opportunity to re-
form certain portion of the negro
population of our State.
Therefore, l, Jefferson Davis, Gov
ernor of the State of Arkansas, by
virtue of the authority vested in me
by the Constitution and laws of Ar
kansas, do grant unto Andrew
Thompson, a negro, a full and free
pardon on condition that he become,
within thirty days, a citizen ofMassa-
chusetts.

WICHITA AND

Proposition for al Big One Is
Again Up Here.
DEFEATED MANY TIMES

DEFEATED MANY TIMES

The elevator proposition is up to

alert TO it's interests. It is part of
'wichita,s creed that being the center Of
one Of the greatest cereal producing areas
Il. the world, Wichita naturally should
handle the grain. in collecting It. grading

The city's latest proposition TO meet is
this: The Kansas Wheat Growers and
Livestock association is a corporation

atoms officers, 5000 wheat producers.
Their plan is 10 put their product into
the hands of a single man who, because

viii be able to get better results in sell
Sag the cereal than is now obtained by
the producer.
In concentrating the grain for grading
it is necessary for this association to
select a city of Kansas in this section Of

Of the wheat association IL Wichita, but
the question OF elevator capacity raises
doubt The people of Winfield and also
OF Arkansas City are offering to supply
elevator capacity.
Wichita already has elevators, but the
association asserts that they are not
large enough, and the proposition is thai
Wichita people subscribe stock TO erect
here a large elevator through which this
Business can be handled. The subscribers
for stock become members Of the associ-
s4ion. The officers believe it would be
paying investment TO the subscribers.
The matter must be decided upon

etty have the matter under consideration,
and by4ssle first of next week definite
movement will be begun towards con-
summating the project.
The first effort of Wichita, after the dis
slpation of the cattle trade and of the
primary wheat market. was the upbuild

STILL HAS THE BOOKS
Ed Lawson Objected to Book Agents
Deal.

DEAL
The people on West Douglas avenue
were somewhat interested yesterday
when they saw Ed Lawson reach for a
man in buggy and turn him backwards
over the seat OF the carriage while he
relieved him of two large books.
Inquiry revealed the fact that the man
in the buggy was an agent for st. Louis
paper He had induced a number of peo-
pie to sign a contract which bound them
TO take his paper for eighteen months
for IS cents per month. and then they
were to receive two books. which were
represented to be an authentic history
of the Philippine islands.
It seems that the agent had delivered
a number of the books, and, finding that
his subscription list for his paper was
not large enough to justify him in hiring
the papers delivered to his subscribers.
he adopted a novel way Of cancelling the
contracts. He would go 20 the houses
in the absence Of the head OF the fam
lily and tell the wife of the subscriber
that he had called to get the books, and,
the woman, supposing it was all right,
would hand over the books.
James Wolff was one of the victims,
and he hunted up the agent and induced
him to hand over the contract. When Ed
Lawson found the agent and demanded
his contract returned to him the agent
said it was at his Office. It was then
that the scuffle ensued. When asked
why he had taken the books in that
manner Mr.. Lawson said he thought the
book agents had more time to hunt for
him than he did looking for them, and

The QUIET MAN IN THE CORNER


1 fingered Ger checker game night or
two ago;
The one who played against me seemed to
have no ghost of show;
had bunch of lusty kings that strutted
all about
Ano pulled my opponents men, who dared
not venture out
way over in a corner shrunk timid little
man,
Who stayed right in his station ever since
the game began;
He watched my crowned heads marching
by with banner ard with song,
And seemed to be discouraged over stand
ing still so long
But pretty soon an opening occurred two
blocks away,
And not another moment did that little
fellow stay
He bounded Ger the board and took three
kings in one fell swoop,
Then landed in my king-row with a wild,
ecstatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows that just
sat around and thought,
And sever made a noise while the other
ragged and fought;
The whole community had come to think
Or else 20 very near it that their hope of
fame had, fled.
The chaps with recognition for their por-
ton pose and: strut,
And seem to overlook the man who keeps
his talker shut
But some day, when most every one is
looking t'other way,
This quiet fellow sees a chance to break
into the play;
He reaches out end grabs things that the
others had ignored;
He puts into the life-game all the energy
he'd stored
Through all the years of silence. So you d
better not forget
The still man in the corner, for he'll reach
the king row yet!

TROLLEY CAR DYNAMIrgD.
MOtOrmen's Strike on the Hudson Val.
ley Road Serious.

Saratoga, N. Y, Oct. 15.-The mo-
tormen's strike on the Hudson Valley
railroad is assuming a more threaten.
ing form. Dynamite was used in Sar-
atoga Springs Tuesday night and a
riot is feared at MechanicsvilIe. A
trolley car passing near the trolley sta
ton OF South Broadway was partly
wrecked by dynamite that had been
placed on the track. The car windows
were broken, the track torn up and
the windows of a nearby saloon shat
tered, but no one was injured.

"a regiment, on strike duty at Mechan-
lcsvllle, in the southern part of Sara
toga county, was Tuesday officially no
titled by Village President Finnegan.

in large force of deputies and pro-
posed to arrest and lock up Tuesday
night every national guardsman Koing
patrol duty in Mechanicsville. AS the
I'd regiment is doing strike duty by
orders from Gov. Odell, and attempt
on the part Of Mr. Finnegan to carry
out his threat may lead to serious con-
sequences.
