Predicts Horses to BE Lower.

"A. E. Lewis of this city is in
receipt Of the following communIca-
ton from J. S. Bratton, q well
known horse dealer Of East st.
Louis, in which he predicts a slump
in the horse market.
We reproduce IT herewith:
The market has broken. Horses are
off from SIS to $50 per head. There
is no use in you buying horses and
shipping them on this market unless
YOU have them bought from So to $50
per head cheaper than you have been
buying them. | mean on all kinds.
The sooner you realize that the market
is S25 per head lower on all kinds OF
horses the better All my shippers
lost money yesterday. / did not have
a man that did not lose from Sl5O to
$500 a load on their horses. You know
that YOU cannot stand this. 1t is
better for you to stop than to buy
horses ana ship them here to lose
NJ 9ney. OF course the commission is
steady. but [ 40 not feel like getting
the commission from shippers when
thew are losing money; I would
rather not have the business.
Let the horses stay ia the country.
They viii be no higher, There viii not
be half the demand for horses this IL
that there is at present. The Eastern
market is filed UP with horses and
there viii be a glut on the market and
you will buy horses at your own price
this fall sure. Remember ny predic.
tions have always come true. Do not
forget this one.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Aid. Lou Fischer the Victim OF an
Unfortunate Experience.

Aid. Lou Fischer of the well
known firm of g. Fischer q Sons,
blacksmith and hardware dealers
here, passed through an experience
Saturday morning he will not soon
forget.
Mr.. Fischer was in the act OF
cutting out some small pieces OF
steel from red hot material when a
sharpened piece accidentally was
thrown upwards, striking him in
the corner of the eye, and the point
of the metal entered the bone OF
the nose.
Without losing his presence OF
mind, but suffering excrutlating
pain the blacksmith after a few
trials extracted the brazen portion
of steel from his eye and fellow
workmen hurriedly conveyed him
to the office of physician for ex-
animation and treatment.
1t is unnecessary to state that the
wound is a painful aud dangerous
one. Mr.. Fischer's fingers and
thumb are burned to a crisp from
the simple task of withdrawing the
molten metal Think of the tender
portion of the eye being punctured
by hot poker and you have it.
Doctors ia charge state that while
the case is a complicated one, they
believe they will save the sight of
that badly and painfully wounded
member, and the Herald voices the
sentiment of all in hoping their eff
forts will be rewarded with success.

LIGHTNING'S HAVOC.
Graham Residence Wrecked in
Moment.

A small black cloud of unpreten-
tious appearance came across Lam
caster Saturday morning. 1t was
sort of local affair but had more
electricity penned up in it thar
Geo. Angus can get out of his cleo
trio machine in week. A deluge
of rain was followed quickly by
flash after flash of lightning and
thunder claps fairly shook the
ground.
In the western part of town Chas.
Vaughan recently moved to a resi-
dence owned by JAS. Graham, who
is living IN Dubuque. Mr.. Vaughan
was absent-his wife and three
small children being IN the house at
the time. A bolt of lightning
struck the house, a square one,
right in the peak, descending on all
four corners, and riddled it COM
pletely. Plaster was torn from the
ceilings and walls, beds were moved
from their places, pictures torn
down and carpets torn up. A poor
little innocent violin was torn to
splinters in one corner of the parlor
while other articles of less value
escaped untouched.
During all this turmoil the woman
and children in the house escaped
with but a shock, almost miracle
when you view the ruinous work
of the lightning.
One little youngster was knocked
oversize was standing close to the
outside door which was open, and
her clothes we're slightly scorched.
The structure caught fire in three
places but the drenching rain
smothered the flames.
Old timers who have witnessed
the work of lightning in many
instances pronounce this occurrence
a record breaker.

Two Cent rare Throughout U. S.

Passenger rates on all railroads of
the United States will be reduced to
Q cents mile. The lowering of the
price and the complete abolition of
the old 3 cent rate will begin July 1.
This was the decision reached in
Chicago yesterday after long and
heated discussion by the leading
railroad presidents of the Western
and transcontinental roads. 1t is
not a formal agreement, but 10
equally binding, for two large roads
doing a transcontinental business
are said to have served an ultimat-
um to others that they would put
the rate into effect Immediately.
Following the meeting officials of
several of the roads admitted that
they had been forced to bow to pub
lic opinion and anti-rallroad legisla-
ton. They said that no further
fight would be made on the 2 cent
laws already passed, and that the
roads would accept the inevlta BILE.

News Item From State Teachers
Agency.

The state legislature has just
passed a law creating Wisconsin
State Teachers agency which pro-
vides that all public school teach
ers in the state by paying member
ship fee of two dollars to the COM
missioner of labor and Industrial
statistics, may avail themselves OF
the services of this bureau in their
efforts to secure positions in any of
the public schools of the state.
free from any other charges
whatsoever.
The bill has proved most pop
ular one with school officers in
the state and especially with teach
ers who feel they have been I'M
posed upon by private agencies,
which not only make a charge of
a membership fee, but also five per
cent of years salary for securing
a situation. This five per cent of a
years salary will not be charged by
the state.
School officers who desire to Sc
cure teachers for the coming year,
and teachers who desire situations,
should write the Commissioner of
Labor and Industrial Statistics,
Madison, Wis, making their wants
known. Teachers should enclose
50, membership fee, with their APP
plication.

NO NAIL CHANGE.
The proposition to change our
Lancaster mail to go the short way
and cut out Beetown, was not
popular even with our own people.
They would not care to shut out
their neighbors, even though a
little benefit should come this way
as a result. We are unable to find
anybody who knew anything of
the projected change, and so when
a petition was circulated to retain
the present arrangement, every
body to whom it was presented
signed it. There will probably be
no change.

Versity may be forced TO resign his posi-
tion because OF the speech he made i'm
Washington last week. i'm the course OF
which he advocated the wholesale hang

newspapers criticised multi-millionaires.
Because OF his preliminary talk Andrews

have now turned on him and perfect
storm OF protests and criticism is sweep

tirement from the university Is demanded.
I'm university circles u has been reported
for some time that tho health OF the
chancellor may cause his retirement from
active service at any time and this fact
has shielded him to a certain extent from
criticism.
For the past three years IL has been re-
ported that upon his retirement from tho
university Rockefeller would pension An

have been personal friends for many
