Lightning Hits a Church.

During the funeral ser ices over the
body of Jas. Pope, of Davies county, In
diana, August 8, lightning struck the
church in which some two hundred peo-
sons were assembled, causing panic
among the congregation. Undertaken
Zed Bonham, was just in the act of clos
ing the coffin, when the bolt struck the
church and he was thrown PROSTATE on
the corpse. Twenty persons were very
seriously shocked and as many more we're
stunned.
In every part of the church people
were falling from their seats to the floor,
and those who were unipjured made a
rush for the doors and out into the driv-
ing rain which followed the lightning.
Many of those who fled were women and
children, and it was some time before
those who were in the church and could
not escape could receive attention. At
about the same time trolley line leading
from Washington, the county seat, was
struck by lightning and number of the
passengers were badly shocked. The
storm was the most terrific known for
years, fields of corn being destroyed and
woodlands laid waste.

upon to present the arguments in fa-
vor of prohibition. He did that
very well, but discussed it purely as
a moral question and did not press
any of the dollar and cent arguments
as did Senator Tillman on the other
side.
The prohibition executive CON-
mittee of this county utterly repu-
dates the selection of Col. Talbert
as it's spokesman. While it is glad
to have him and every other cham
pion, it announced that Col. Talbert
was invited to speak to the old SOL
diers, but like the good old soldier
that he is, he first talked to the vete-
rams, then he helped kill time talking
to the farmers, and finally whooped
up prohibition in the good old way.
The petition for the election has not
yet been filed, and while the advo-
Gates for prohibition say they have
ample names, they prefer waiting
until after the county primary is
held. They believe they will win
with ease. This is disputed by the
dispensary advocates.

Life In Iceland.

There are no manufactures in the
country. Each home is a factory
and every member of the family a
hand.
Shoes are made from goatskins.
The long stockings worn over them
in ,wading through the snow are
knitted by the women and children,
and even the beautiful broadcloth
comes smooth and perfect from the
handloom found in every house.
The sweet simplicity of the ma
tional costume does away with the
necessity of fashion books. Young
girls who are about to be married
need take no thought as to "where-
withal shall they be clothed" When
they array themselves in the we'd
ding garments of their ancestors,
two or even three generations remote,
they are perfectly up-to- date in the
matter of attire.
This simple life is conducive to a
state of high morals, higher than in
any other part of the world. There
is not a drop of liquor manufactured
on the island, and for the $4,000
population there is not one police
man. There is neither Jail or any
place of incarceration for criminals
nor yet is there court in which a
high crime could be tried.
The per centage of crime is so
small that it does not warrant the
Eexpense of keeping up a court.
When criminal trial becomes neces-
sary the offender is taken to Den.
mark to answer to the law for his
misdeeds.
The women are among the most ad-
vanced in the world. Their Woman's
Political League has a membership
of 10000, and they enjoy more civil
rights than the women of almost
any other country, having voice in
all elections save that for members
of their legislative body.--Pilgrim

Minister OF the Gospel HurIs Lie at BIease.

An unexpected sensational dispen-
sary debate took place at Young's
Grove, in Newberry, on Tuesday of
last week, when Rev. G. M. Boyd,
of Prosperity, outraged at statements
made by @. l.. Blease concerning the
Christian church and ministry, pro.
tested eloquently.
Following this and at the close of
the speaking, Blease was halted by
the Rev. p. III. K. Derrick, who
charged him with insulting and i'm
pugning the Christian ministry. On
Blease's denial that he had made GER
tain remarks in his speech Rev. Der
rick threateDingly and fatty contra
dicted him, renewing the accusation.
Blease turned to walk away, but be-
fore he had taken 20 steps Rev. Der
rick shouted after him the words,
"and if you deny it you are liar"
Blease took no notice of the words.
While denouncing general hypoc-
risy and corruption in his speech,
Blease said that if all the rascals
were turned out of the churches
there would not be quorum left
next Sunday, and that he had never
known preacher who would not
take gamblers money. The whole
affair created intense feeling.
