Freaks of Lightning.

me llRnCnln8 seems tO ndVe SOC tno range of Phenix on Friday night and it made some remarkable shots. No less than half dozen houses were struck, says the Phenix Republican. but in only one instance was fire started.
 Most of the performances of the lightning were freakish. One bolt struck the flag pole on top of the court house and shattered it into fiber. There was ball on top of the staff and that fell to the tin roof of the building. The bolt ran down the staff to the roof and tore hole in the tin around the bottom of the pole.
 The Arizona Gaze te was put out of business to such an extent that the morning issue of the paper did not ap- pear until late in the afternoon. A flash of lightning was introduced by an electric power wire and the motor was burned out. There was lightning every where in the building. The lin otype turned white and the operator, touching some part of it with his elbow received severe shock and burn.
 The derrick of the Arizona Oil com pany near Five Points was struck and short distance north of that place the end of house was torn away. A vacant house belonging to E. A. Spauld ing, on Eleventh street was hit and two holes were torn in the roof. A jag ged flash of lightning entered a door of the house of Joseph Balsz in the same neighborhood and passed out of a window. It never stopped but it's passage prostrated Mrs. Balsz.
 Another target of the thunderbolts was the residence of Judge Baker. The house was not damaged but Miss Mary Baker, who with others, was sitting on the porch was stricken senseless. She had not recovered from the effect of the visitation yesterday.
 Mrs. J. w. Blankenship, who with her usband is living at the residence of Mrs. Wilson at the corner of Eighth and Jefferson street was awakened by the ringing uf the telephone in another room. She went to answer it and saw what she believed to be d blaze break ing out of the top of a refrigerat or near by. Seizing bucket of water she threw it upon the supposed blaze and in doing so she closed circuit and re- ceived a shock which rendered her sen seless and from which she has not yet entirely recovered. One shoulder was badly wrenched and her left hip was burned.
 She recov cred from the shock suf. ficieutly to scream and awakened her husband. She tol d him that the hous 0 was on fire. When he appeared there was flame running along a telephone wire and it soon reached the roof plate. He extinguished it with bucket of water.

HOPE He WILL STAY
FRIENDS OF MINISTER coNGER
TAKE MUCH INTEREST IN
REPORTS.
(BY LEON BROWN.)
Des Moines Bureau Of Courier.
nec Moinec Nav %


Des Moines, May "a.
Very great interest is felt in Des
Moines in the statements Of the Mahin
correspondence that Minister Conger
is likely to be supplanted. after the
election, by w. w. Rockhill, who has
long been suspected of an ambition to
get in under Major Conger in the far
eastern mission.
Friends of Minister Conger here
have no information as to the feeling
recently existing between him and
President Roosevelt. They rely on the
statements which we're made by the
President when the question first arose
as to whether Major Conger wiuld re-
tain the mission after President Nc
Kinley's death.
At that time President Roosevelt is
understood to have said that he had
no thought, whatever of supplanting
the Iowa man in China with another,
however ambitious. And it is said,
also, that the President has Written
letters to the same effect.
The result is that the friends OF
Minister Conger here have been secure
in their belief that the Iowa man
would not be molested.

Des Moines, May "a. - The Register
and Leader this morning says:
The battle royal for the republican
nomination for governor will be wag-
cred by George D. Perkins Of Sioux
City and Major Lacey, according to e.
E. Hunter, who is looked upon as one
of the best posted politicians in Des
Moines and who is also considered the
spokesman Of J. w. Blythe.
Mr.. Hunter has made the announce
ment to friends in Des Moines and is
certain that will be the lineup = that
is as certain as any political forecast
can be.
In discussing the situation, Mr.. Hun
ter said: ct is practically certain that
George D. Perkins Of Sioux City will
be the candidate of the anti-standpat
crowd He is in favor Of tariff revi-
sion and Of reciprocity. He repre-
sents their sentiments. He is said to
be in readiness to make the race, al
though he has not made formal
statement to that effect.
"No, we will not fall in the band;
wagon and support him. He does not
represent .IuG SCduu pau Views 1hu w
cannot stand for him.
"Our candidate will be Major Lacey
of the sixth district. He is a wheel
horse of the republican party and will
| be good leader.
"The only question is that Major
Lacey may not desire to step out OF
the congressional seat into the guber-
Material chair. but our fellows desire
| him."
Will Be Warm Contest.
The above statement made by Mr.
Hunter to friends here shows that the
contest two years hence will be close
one While George D. Perkins Of Sioux
City has not made personal an
nouncement of his candidacy, friends
have. r. P. Clarkson in an interview
some time ago stated that Mr.. Perkins
was the logical man for the place, ant
the latter has not denied it.
While Mr.. Perkins opposed the stand
pat machine in the recent state con
vention, it is understood the plan tt
bring out Major Lacey was determined
upon some time ago, and it did not Gu
any figure.
i There are others who will probabl.
enter the field within the next tw'
years. and there will doubtless be ,
good field to draw from when the er
tries close.
