Struck BY Lightning.

William w. Smith, steward at the
Moline club and living at 1916 Fourth
avenue. had an experience Tuesday af-
ternoon with a bolt of lightning while
on Campbells island which he is not
likely TO forget for some time. Mr..
Smith, and a friend, Frank Wolf, were
in the Woods talking TO
some friends during the terrific cleo
trio storm between 4 and o'clock.
Mr. Smith was sitting on the corner
of table, when there was an unusual
ly bright flash of lightning and Mr..
Smith was stunned and thrown off the
table TO the corner of the room some
10 or % feet away. His friends rush
ed to him Immediately and found him
in an unconscious condition. After
some 10 minutes work he was revived
and besides the fright was none the
worse. The bolt must have struck a
tree or some object near the inn.

CIamn1er Shot.

Valley City, was shot by a Swedish
fisherman named George Gotburg on
the river yesterday. Weston will re-
cover, and, at a hearing before a JUS
tice. Gotburg was given a sentence OF
80 days The trouble arose over the
right to fish. Weston dropped about
two miles down from Valley City TO
drag for clans. GotbuTg, who was on
the shore, claimed he had a trot line
in the river where Weston was fish
ing. An alteration ensued and finally
Gotburg fetched a shot gun and shot
Weston. The shot lodged in all parts
of the body and the injury was not
serious. Dr. Bailey, of LIE Claire, was
called TO attend the man, and said none
of the wounds were dangerous unless
blood poison set in. GOtburg was TAX
en- before Justice of the Peace w. My
ers, and after a hearing. sentenced to
80 days in Jail. The friends of Weston
show their dissatisfaction at what they
consider slight punishment. The clam
mers drag for bipeds with pieces of gas
pipe to which hooks are attached.
This, of course, endangers trot lines,
and there is a code among river men
protecting such lines. If Gotburg had
a line in the river at that point, Weston
would probably have broken it.

Many people can digest only GER
tain things. Therefore they eat only
those things.
That surely doesn't make the
stomach strong enough to digest any
thing else.
Dieting is weakening.
We need all kinds of food.
Some think the sturdy, robust
man who eats three good meals a
day can eat anything because he is
so strong and healthy. The fact is,
he is strong and healthy because he
can eat anything.
The real secret of strength and
health is good, wholesome, blood
making food properly digested.

The stomach not only gets much

into rich blood furnishes strength to
all the organs of the body-stomach

Fifty Bodies Recovered From
Virginia Mine
ALL THE MINERS ARE DEAD
Recovery OF Fifty Bodies Today Pre-
eludes Any Possibility Of Any OF
the Miners Being Alive " All
Are Recovered.

birmingham, Feb, si,--The scenes at
the Virginia mine today We're the, most
gruesome and narrowing ever witness
cd in this section. OF the large num-
ber of miners who entered the mine
Yesterday afternoon, so far only SO
bodies have been recovered. The re-
covery OF so many dead bodies pre-
cludes any idea OF any living man re-
naming among che unfortunates still
in the mine.
The corpses are frightfully manglei
and alsfigured and Identification is al
most impossible. Many OF them are so
badly bruised and twisted and discol-
ored that negroes cannot tell them
from white men. One hundred families
ana 800 children are left destitute and
without means OF support by the CAL
amity and they are among the best
class OF miners IN Alabama. As the
bodies of the victims, which In many
cases have been gathered together, a
piece at a time. are brought TO the
surface, they are placed in rows on a
rough platform.
Excavation of the debris is hamp-
cred. Foul gases which collected In
the stops made II necessary to use
safety lamps and II was found tha'
there were less than a score Of safety
lamps in the district. Out of 80 bodies
recovered one was found barely alive
The body was taken carefully from the
mine and heroic methods resorted &
to bring the man to consciousness. HI
II still alive, but little hopes are en-
ltertained Of his recovery.
