Close Call.

That Is what John II. . Reed, a
farmer living 8 miles south and 1
mile west of Great Bend. in Stafford
county, had on last Tuesday morning,
when a bolt of lightning instantly
killed his three horses and left j livid
mark and a smell of birthstone bn his
own person.
Mr.. Reed was in the field, plSwing,
about 8 o'clock in the mornings when
rain storm came up. He unhitched
his team of three horses from the
plow to get in out of the rain. AS he
had his right arm raised in the act OF
hooking the lines over the names. on
one horse the lightning struck. 1t
followed down his arm, across his
back in an irregular course, down one
leg and out at the toe of his shoe,
splitting the leather on each side of
the foot, and leaving in its course.
slight, livid burn, which is not thought
to be serious.
All three of the horses were killed
instantly and fell in their tracks. Mr..
Reed was knocked down, and was
almost helpless for time: His
family saw him and the horses fall, Pas
did also Volney Ricketts, who lives
near the Reed home. The injured
man was taken to the house, and Mr..
Ricketts, jumped upon horse and
hurried to town, getting DR.. Connect
out in short time.
One of the horses showed no
marks to indicate where it was hit.
One was hit in the shoulder, and the
| other in the ear.
1t seems a miricle that the man
escaped death when all the three
horses were destroyed. The latest
report from Mr.. Reed is that he has
about recovered from the effects of
| the shock.

Poor Old Pennsylvania.

The ring ridden state of
Pennsylvania deserves the sympathy
of the people at large. 1t at present
presents disgraceful state of affairs
with Senator Quay and his machine
on the one side, as against crystalized
public opinion represented in the
press on the other. The Grady-Salus
libe biz which has just been signed
by Gov. Pennypacker, and his
signature and actions indicate that
the smallness in his name is well put,
is for the especial benefit of the
boodler, CRATER, machine politician,
and all round political crook. No
man who is honest in politics and his
dealings with the people, need fear
the censure and criticism of the press
which represents public sentiment
Thus far the press of that state have
taken no notice of the law except to
belittle it and its authors and hackers,
and it is hoped that the intelligence
of the old commonwealth will sc
assert itself atsthe next election as tc
sweep the shystering ring from power
and install setsof clean and honor
able officials.

One of the busiest places in. Great
Bend is at Messrs. Klughardt &

with which the large quantities of
bread, buns, cakes and other bakers
products that this city requires is
prepared for the oven, put through
the baking process and finished for
delivery.

A Trust in a Hole.

The only trust in this country now
in bad way is the. anthracite coal
trust. t is in hole with the sides
soaped and no ladder in sight, and
it was not deposited in this cavity by
the republican administration, but by
good democaat, viz: William Ran
dolph Hearst.
Mr.. Hearst's attorneys have proved
every contention before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They have
backed the trust up IN a corner and
the trust refuses to produce its con-
tracts. The courts will be asked to
compel them to produce them. Those
contracts will prove them innocent or
sguilt of an infraction of the law regu-
lating interstate commerce. If they
were innocent what sane man believes
they would hesitate to produce them
and confound the man who is after
them. Remember, this is not being
done by republican administration
sworn to execute the laws, but by a
democratic member of Congress who
is doing it in the interest of law and
order and the pockets of the people.

as much influence as the braying of

Kansas is now just coming to her

Everywhere nature seems to be
