Dry Lightning Struck
the Buggy Top.

Astory reaches town from the Eos
ter neighborhood Of q thrilling escape
OF two Rich Hill doctors from burn.
Ing to death. They were DR.. W. II.
Allen and DR.. Harry l. Harris.
Whether their buggy was struck by
dry lightning or whether caused By
the feet footed team Of DR.. Allen is
not yet known, but 1t is stated that
while driving along the road at q
7:4O clip or whereabouts, a great
volume OF fierce flames suddenly rose
above the unsuspecting occupants Of
the buggy, and ere they could check
the team or quench the fiery element,
the entire buggy top was consumed.
Lloyd McKibben suggests that as the
two needles were leaving town both
were strenuously putting away be-
hind long black stories, and II is
further surmised that DR.. Allen was
engaged In telling Harris one OF bis
famous ghost stogies and that both
we're oblivious to all surroundings
when spaSk from one OF the cigars
was blown by the wind into the buggy

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION.

The proposition to rsadopt town
ship organization will be submitted
70 the voters of Bates county at the
coming election, Nov. 9Th 1905.
While The TINES has never been
over friendly TO township organise
ton, we have ever been In favor of
she majority ruling, and we are
frank to say, we believe that q large
majority ofthe voters In Bates eoun-
ty are In favor OF the proposition.
IL is our observation that, as a rule,
the opponents Of q measure are
more active than the friends, and
there is no question In our mind but
a determined effort will be made to
defeat IL. We want to see a full and
fair expression on the proposition
and have II definitely settled.
The law requires a majority of all
the votes cast at the election to
carry the proposition, therefore
every ballot not marked for, will be
counted against. The voter Is there
fore cautioned to either vote for or |
against the proposition, so tina. the
result will be decisive. Ifyou fail to |
90 to the election and vote on the |
proposition, you have no one TO |
blame but yourself II 1t falls OF |

ereatest Cold Yet Known.

In the northern hemisphere the
greatest cold seems to have been OBJ
served at Werchojansk. in Siberia,
where 1t is stated that the thermome-
ter goes down as low as 80 degrees
below zero.
However, according TO the inforna-
ton which has been brought by the
Russian artist BorrissofT. certain parts
of Nova Zcmbla seem to show at least
as low temperature as the above.
The bulletin of the Societe Astronom-
ioue states that In IN excursion which
M. Borrissoff made lately In the strait
of Matotchkin he discovered Il box
containing two thermometers. one II
maximum and the other minimum
recording thermometer. 1t Is sup
posed that these instruments belonged
to Hofer. an Austrian geologist, who
made an expedition to this spot in
1872.
One of the thermometers was found
to have registered the temperature as
45a degrees as maximum. while the
second instrument showed that the
greatest cold had been "a degrees be-
low.

WOLVES ARE HARD TO SHOT.
seen for Only an Instant, They Seem
to Melt Into the Landscape.

The wolves now found in Jackson
county are in size between the coyote
OF the western plains and the big
wolves found in the Ozark region. In
general appearance they bear re-
semblance to the Scotch collie dog.
They live in unfrequented places.
generally in the timber or along the
streams. and a favorite abode is In
caves or under overhansing lodges
of stone.
Scratching out shallow hole In the
ground they line it with small sticks
and dry leaves. Here the mother wolf
takes care of her young. while the
father is securing the country for
miles around In search of food.
He is rarely seen by day. and then
only for an instant. for he seems to
melt away like mist into the weeds
or brush. his tawny hide making 1t
easy for him to disappear from sight
His skill in eluding his enemies, es-
pecially human, is remarkable. and
this is one of the most aggravaine
things about him. If hunter sue
ceeds in getting within gunshot oil
him the chances are 10 to that nc
damage will be inflicted.
His hide Is SO thick and tough and
is covered with such heavy coat OF
fur that an ordinary discharge from
shotgun has little or no effect. with
an ease that is exasperating he sim
