Struck BY Lightning.

During the heavy electrical storm
which passed over this section last
Saturday afternoon there was no.
ticed one particularly loud and
sharp peal. This, it was subse-
quently learned, struck the residence
Of Deputy Sheriff E. w. Clark at
San Mateo. The bolt descended the
big chimney and seemed to explode
at the hearth stone in the parler,
setting fire to the lambrequin's and
curtains.
At the time of striking Mrs. Clark
was standing on the back porch
where she also received a slight
shock.
The little boy, who is just recover
ing from an attack of typhoid fever,
was in the upper story of the house
and he was so frightened that he be-
gan screaming. In going to his as
sistance Mrs. Clark discovered the
flames, and though alone, she made
an heroic effort to subdue them, and
in doing so she received some
frightful burns about the arms and
shoulders.
At last accounts Mrs. Clark was
rapidly recovering from her injuries.
The damage to the house is con-
siderable.

Palatka,s Bonds.

The recent act of the legislature
validating the Palatka bond issue
has legalized these bonds beyond
further question.
The bond trustees are now adver-
Using the issue in New York finan-
cial paper and as soon as the law
has been complied with in this re-
spect the bonds will be on the market.
Their sale means much for Palatka.
1t means better streets, modern
system of sewerage, and the owner
ship of system of water works
either by purchase or construction,
thus inaugurating the application of
the principle of municipal ownership
of public utilities in Palatka.
AS there can be no longer any ques-
ton of the entire validity of these
bonds, the value of them as an in
vestment to our people is at once APP
parent. They constitute not only a
safe semi-annual interest bearing in
vestment, but one of great profit
when their guilt edged nature is con-
sidered
There is no safer Investment than
municipal bonds. They constitute q
security on which one can readily
realize in event of necessity. To
utilize the trade phraze of certain
medicinal company, "they work
while you sleep"
The News trusts that citizens of
Palatka will evince their faith in
the city by making heavy purchases
of these bonds.
They will be on the market in a
few days.

There was Il good attendance at the
regular meeting of the Board OF
Trade on Wednesday night, and sew
eral important matters came up
which were referred to the proper
committees for immediate action.
Perhaps the most important of
these was the action taken looking
to the establishment of port of en-
try for Palatka. The matter was
thoroughly discussed and the board
was decidedly of opinion that the
Treasury Department at Washington
would grant the request If properly
laid before it. In securing recogni-
tiOn for Palatka the board will have
the support of ever captain of a
schooner or steamer which comes
to this port for cargo.
AS it is they are delayed at Jack
sonville both on entering and leav--
ing, whereas if Palatka was port
of entry, they could come here di-
rect, and, after loading, could get
their papers and sail without further
delay.
The committee to whom this mat
ter was referred will get at work inn
The transportation committee of
the board was recognized by the
election of Mr.. Martin Griffin as
chairman with instructions for him
to select his own associates
Communications We're received
from parties asking Information CON
corning this part of Florida with a
view to settling.
These were referred to the immi-
grafton committee with instruction
to furnish the necessary information.
l.. G. Canova and Mayor Steen
were elected members of the Board
of Governors in place of G. Lopez
Bailey and J. @. Tilghman resigned.
The committee on manufactures
and new industries were requested
to look into the matter of securing
sugar mill for Palatka.
There was good deal of enthusi.
assn at the meeting, and as one
member expressed it, 'the board has
now gotten down to some practical
work and is going to accomplish
something for Palatka."
