MELLETTE, S. D.-George Peterson, a.
farmer. was in his barn standing with one
hand on a horse, when he was struck
by lightning. He fell under the horse and
his wife, who was near him, pulled him
out. He was unconscious for about four
hours.
The bolt of lightning made scalp wounds
ON both sides of his head; his ears were
badly burned, both eyes were black and
his arms AMI legs stiffened by the shock
It IS not thought he will suffer permanent
injury.

ALABAMA FEDERATION
 OF WOLVERINES Cr.Yrpa

TusSaloosa, Nov. 5.-(Special. )-Yester- day was the second day of the Fedora tion of Women's Clubs and 1t proved most interesting one. The entire morn- ing was devoted to the business session of the Executive Board. composed of the Federation officers and the directors of the different clubs.
 Among other important matters consid- cred was the nomination of officers and this was practically the election.
 No visitors or delegates were admitted.
 The important feature of the afternoon session was the lecture by Mr. George Bondurant of Birmingham, who was gracefully introduced to the Federation by J. Henry Fitts.'
 He gave a most interesting as we'll as ,n- structive address on "Womans Law" He spoke of the many changes that had taken place in the last fifty years and the condition of womans rights cehturcs ago. He said that up to fifty years ago a husband and wife were one in the sight l Of law and that as the laws were made by the husbands that he was the "onc," that the woman had no more rights in law than the horse that she drove. but A wonderful change had taken place within the last fifty years and that now a wo- man, either married or single, has not only as many but more rights than men, that a man could not even sell his own property without his wifes consent and that woman. no matter how rich, is allowed to go security for her husband.
 He paid glowing tribute to women and in the close was accorded rising vote of thanks by the Federation
 After the address the reports of the dif- ferent committees were heard, the one by Mrs. J. w. McConaughy on scho- arships being especially interesting.
 pr. F. M. Peterson, President of the Girls Industrial School at MontevalIo. was then introduced and made a most in- teresting talk on the needs at his school. especially the need of an infirmary and more room. He reported the school fin a most prosperous condition, the number of students now numbering 422.
 The nominations of the Executive Board were announced and the following officers were unanimously elected: Pres. ldent. Mrs. c. P. Orr, Birmingham: First Nice-President. Mrs. w. c. Cochrane Tuscaloosa; Second Vice. President. Mrs. Rhett Goode, Mobile: Corresponding Sec retary, Mrs. S. G. Weakley. Birmingham: Recording Secretary. Mrs. J. F.

Specimens From Near wRholt Springs
Of Excellent Quality.

According to report brought from
the vicinity Of Wilhoit Springs, rs
miles east Of Oregon City, in the foot
hills Of the Cascade Mountains, and in
Claekamas county, that portion OF the
county is likely In the near future 70
prove one Of the greatest wealth-pro-
ducIng sections Of the county F.. C.
Barstow. OF that place, has sample
Of coal which he says has been taken
from ledge just unearthed ON his
claim, which he claims to have been
looking for for the past II months.
The sample that he showed was al
most pure carbon, and was as fine
specimen of the BLACK diamond as
can be found anywhere between the
two oceans. According to his story the
vein is from six to ten feet thick and
shows every indication OF being per
manent
1t has long been known that there
are fine prospects for coal in that sec
tion, and many samples of coal picked
up from the hillsides have been exhib-
tied, but it is said that this is the first
hnd Of any consequence. and it is now
believed that claims that have not
been filed on in that vicinity will soon
be taken up.
As the new electric railroad. FOR
which G. D. Latourette recently Sc
cured a franchise, is supposed to run
to the vicinity of Wilhoit Springs, it
is believed that this find will be an in
centive to hurry up the building OF the
road.

TO INVESTIGATE ALASKA.
Subcommittee Of Senators Appointed to
Visit the Territory.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Beveridge. chairman of the Committee
on Territories, has named Senator
Dillingham;. of Vermont, Burnham, of
New Hampshire, Nelson, of Minneso-
ia, and Patterson, Of Colorado, sub
committee to visit Alaska this Sum
mer for the purpose of making a thor
ough investigation OF conditions in
that territory with view to recon-
mending legislation or amendments to
existing. laws to the Senate when it
assemblies.
Senator Nelson is a member of the
Committee on Public Lands and Sena-
tor Patterson is a member Of the Com
mittee on Mines and Mining so that
the subcommittee will include in Its
membership senators familiar with
the West. The subcommittee will
have complete control of the inves-
tigation to be made, the only sugges-
tion made by the committee when
the latter was before it being that
there should be an inquiry on the
ground into conditions in Alaska, as
it was felt that current information
was too meager and indirect to ena-
BILE Congress to grasp the actual CON
ditions. Hearins will be held wher-
ever the subcommittee thinks best
and much personal investigation will
take place.
Senator Beveridge will not go to
Alaska, as he purposes to take rest
from labor of all kinds up in the
Maine forests during July and August.
