which reposed on his desk before
him, and after reading each care
fully, he, in frank voice, declared
himself for Knorr. His decision
was greeted with applause from the
audience.
Wilbur Fisher and S mue
Shaffer were elected superintendent
of the fire alarm and building in
srector, respectively. The former
to receive $40 per month, and the
latter SIS per year.
James c. Brown was unanimously
elected Town engineer. He to
receive S. 90 per day and so cents
per hour.
Next came the matter of COM
pensation for labor and team work
on the road. This was a stumbling
block. Each member expressed
himself, some of them very EN-.
phatically. Rhoades and Mfflin
favored 81 so per day. Magec said
there were lots Of men who were
not worth more than IS cents a
day, and inferred that to give them
Is more would be robbing the town
treasury. Rhodes moved that the
price be fixed at $3.50 per day.
Magee moved to amend the motion,
so as to make 81. so the maximum
amount, and let the street commits
sioner exercise his discretion, as to
what men are worth that amount.
A vote was taken on the amend
ment, resulting in three ayes and
four nays, Yetter voting nay. This
left the matter just as it was before
the ballot was taken. After a few
explanatory remarks Yetter moved
that the rate be fixed at $3.50 and
81 IS per day. Rhoades took ex-
ceptions to the President making a
motion, and Yetter withdrew it 1t
was finally decided to lay the motion
over till the next meeting.
President Yetter announced the
appointment of the following COM
mittees:
Streets and Highways. Giger,
Deily and Runyan.
Finance-Runyan, Mifflin, Ma
gee.
Fire and Water-Rhodes, Giger,

members to hold out to the end
An agreement was reached how
ever that the wage rate be fixed at
$3.50 per day for laborers, and
S.. so per day for double teams,
and s.. so per day for single teams.
Upon the suggestion of President
Yetter, who spoke of the import

to hold the matter over tor a joint
meeting of the President, the

The millinery store of Mrs. Eyer

truction Friday evening. A large
lamp suspended from the ceiling of
the room, fell to the floor and ex-
ploded. The flames quickly spread
about in an alarming manner, but

cred them before much damage was
done. The firemen were called to

FIRST STORM
WAS SEVERE.
DR.. Stoker'S Barn at Saltwater
Struck by Lightning and
Destroyed.
HORSES AND cows PERISH.

Rarely, 50 early in the season, is
this section of the country visited
by an electrical storm of the vio-
leDce and severity which character
lied Mondays visitation.
The storm began to gather short
ly after the noon hour, and contin-
ued mastering its forces until about
four o'clock when it broke.
Daylight was suddenly changed
into darkness. The thunder rolled,
sharp, glaring Lightning at brief
intervals illuminated the skies, and
the rain descended in torrents.
Everything betokened a storm of
cyclonic proportions. People gazed
apprehensively at the skies, and
then hurried to their homes or
sought shelter in the various places
that afforded protection along the
street. 1t rained hard, but there
was no damage done in Bloomsbury.
The storm evidently spent its fury
before reaching here.
From all reports Saltwater and
vicinity was the HARDEST hit. The
large substantial barn of DR.. Stok-
er, veterinary surgeon, situated a
short distance below Saltwater, was
made the target of a fiery bolt, and
the structure with all its contents
consisting Of two good horses, three
valuable cows, hay, grain and farm
ing implements were consumed.
The barn was seventy feet in size.
There was but little insurance on it &.
The barn on the farm of G. NJ.
Shoop, situated about three miles
from Washlngtonville, was partly
urroofed by the storm. Many fine
trees as well as fences were blown
down at different points. At Briar.
creek number of telegraph poles
were leveled to the ground and the
service interrupted for several
hours.
AT Washingtonville a portion of
w. ]. Messersmith' S furniture ware
house was unroofed.
AT Danville newly constructed
house was lifted in the air and then
set back on its foundation. 1t was
peculiar freak of the storm, the
like of which has very infrequently
been known. None of the timbers
in the building were broken, though
the foundation was somewhat dam
aged.
A number of trees and telephone
wires were blown down and for a
while it was impossible for the tele-
phone operators to remain at the
switch board so severe was the
lightning flashes. On the other side
OF the river the storm was parti-
cularly severe and a number OF
trees were uprooted by the wind.
At Espy the storm was severe
and there was great down pour.
ing of rain, the wind blew a gale
and it was so dark that the resi-
dents for awhile had to use lamps.
The lightning struck the house OF
Nathan Miller but fortunately the
damage was very slight.

A Narrow Escape.

Last Monday afternoon while
Hon. A. L. Fritz was driving from
Benton, he was overtaken by the
storm this side of Saltwater, and
found it necessary to seek shelter.
He at first thought of driving into
Dr.. Stoker's barn, but as the storm
was not yet very severe, he con
cluded to risk going further, and
so drove OH to a barn this side of
Stoker's. While in there he saw
smoke and flames in the distance,
but did not know until he reached
Bloomsbury that the burning build
ing was Stoker's barn i'll which he
came so near seeking shelter The
barn was struck by Lightning and
entirely destroyed with its contents
including two horses, Had he
stopped there the results might
have been very serious.

WHERE DISEASE GERMS BREED.
No Need to Fear Germs" if the Stomach Be
Healthy

The ideal breeding place for dis
ease germs is weak stomach and
digestive system. The food, instead of
being assimilated, turns into a sour,
Shiny, fermenting mass, causing gases,
distress after eating, bloating, nausea
and hatulency. The poisonous germs
that are given off from this undi-
gested food enter the blood, and PIN
pies, boils, and blotched skin is the
result. Nervousness and sleeplessness
come more often from weakened di-
gestion than from any other one cause.
Rheumatism and govt are directly
caused by an acid condition of the
stomach.
No ordinary food digestive can give
lasting relief. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary, if one wishes to be well, to use
Mona, the only known remedy that
