Last Sunday afternoon about
80 lightning struck and run
down the chimney at the home of
Pete Unruh south of Larned, al,
most resulting in the death of bis
l3-year-old daugh Ter, Miss Vena.
The little girl was standing beside
an iron bed, which the lightning
struck as it came down the chin
ney. Had she been on the bed
she would probably have been
killed, as part of the bedstead va;
melted by the bolt. But very
little damage was done otherwise,
but the little girl has since been
in a very nervous and frightened
condition. -Larned Tiller {

The average Kansas farmer is
better posted on the subject of
national, state or local politics
than the average city man. You
will always find that he is always
ready to give a reason for his
political beliefs. He is not the
sort of a man who waits for some
politician to tell him how to vote.
He reads, ponders and does heap
of thinking.
