Peculiar Feature of an Unusually
Heavy Thunderstorm.
Ogden, Utah, Aug. 26.-An unusual
thunderstorm swept over the northern
part of Weber county on Saturday
night A tremendous rainfall was ac-
companied by a great fall of toads.
On Sunday morning people coming
into Ogden encountered an army of
hoppers in-Taylor=p recinct.-There
were millions Of them from an inch to
an inch and half long. They were
SO deep on the highway that they
elogged the wheels of vehicles, and it
was with difficulty that teams could
get through. The theory is advanced
that the storm was the end of dis
1ant cloudburst but where the cloud
picked up the toads is mystery.

Why Conductor Thought Women

How many-sided and how funny is
the life load in city street car. Not

''This is not right" she called after
him. "Aint, Ell; there's 95 cents.

Costly Skipping Rope.

A skipping-rope has been presented
by a fond Pittsburg millionaire to his
six-year-old daughter. The handles
are gold, studded with an odd jewel,
while the cord, the finest procurable,
cost more than dollar per inch.
When the child grows little older
she will be able fully to appreciate her
papa's gift. At present she treats It
as if it were an ordinary rope.

From Adrianople comes the news OF
a Turkish defeat and the extension OF
the revolutionary outbreak from
Monastir, the news of Turkish vic
tories accompanied by barbarous ex-
cesses
While many of the reports remain
without confirmation, sufficient au-
thentic details are forthcoming to
cause the authorities the gravest
anxiety According 70 the Sofa

speakab1e atrocities at Krushevo.
The mutilated corpses of ninety Won

building; pieces of the bodies had
been thrown into the street. Fifteen

were killed and their heads exhibited

A General Massacre.
The Devnik also asserts that a gem
eTal massacre has taken place in the
whole vilayet of Monastir. Nearly all
the villages have been destroyed. The
treacherous murder of eighty insur-
gent prisoners by their guards near
Monastir has made an especially bad
impression here. Many rumors are
current of massacres in the city of
Adrianople, but confirmation is lack

doubtedly is serious.
Anarchy exists at Los Engrad.

have occupied the strategic points

the Birth of Advertisements.
The first periodical newspaper Of the
English press appeared in 1922, but
advertisements were not developed till
1647. In April of the latter year was
published No. 13 of Perfect Occur
rencies of Every Dale Journal in Par
lament and Other Moderate Intelli-
gence," which contained the following
announcement:
"a Book applauded by the Clergy of
England called The Divine Right Of
Church Government collected by sun
dry eminent Ministers in the Cite of
London, corrected and augmented in
many places, with a briefe Reply TO
certain Queries against the Ministery
of England; Is printed and published
for Joseph Hunscot and George Cal
vert and Are to be sold at Stationers
Hall and at the Golden Fleece in the
Old Change"
The London Gazette was the first
newspaper to publish commercial adj
vertisements, which soon began to oc-
cupy so much space that the proprie-
tors, not wishing to charge the Ga
zette with advertisements unless they
be matters of State" issued a Special
Advertisement Supplement, printed
apart and recommended to the Publick
by another hand"
Older still is an advertisement in a
black letter Dutch paper Of an auction
of sugar, ivory and tobacco held at
