DEADLY BOLT DESCENDED.
Boys On Fishing Trip Had Narrow
Escape From Death-Horse
Was Killed.

Manti, July 25.-What might well be
termed a miraculous escape from instant
death occurred yesterday between the
Gunnison reservoir and this city. A num-
Der of boys had visited the reservoir to
fish and spend part of the day in amuse-
ment, and upon their return home a heavy
rain came on and the thunder and light
ming became so fierce that things began
to look dangerous. While attempting to
turn the horse, which was attached to
the buggy in which some of the crowd
were seated. that more shelter might be
obtained from the storm, ball of light
ming descended which struck the horse
and killed him instantly. Some of the
boys said their arms and other portions
of their bodies felt numb for a short
time, but fortunately not one of them
was injured in any way. No part of the
vehicle or harness were damaged In any
way although the horse being attached
to the buggy, must have fallen very heav-
lily upon the shafts. The boys who were
out were Lee Bench, sOn-in-law of Bishop
n. R Peterson of this city, and Erastus
Petersen, a son of the bishop, and a num-
Der of other relatives, some of whom
were here visiting from Salt Lake City
Pioneer day passed off quietly in this
city. a good program was given in the
tabernacle, where Hon. c. P. Larsen de-
livered an eloquent Grafton. The afternoon
was spent in amusements principally for
the children. Very few of our citizens
attended the Black Hawk reunion at
Nehpi.

See How Many Friends Are Hurt by
Coffee.

1t would be just as reasonable for a
TEMPERANCE advocate to drink little
diluted whisky as to drink coffee, for
one is as truly an intoxicant as the
other and persistence in the use of
coffee brings on a variety of chronic
diseases, notorious among which are
dyspepsia, heart palpitation ultimate

weak eyes and trembling condition cf

These are only a few of the great
variety of diseases which come from
an unbalanced nervous system, caused
by the persistent daily use of the drug,
caffeine, which Is the active principle
of coffee. Another bit of prima facie
evidence about coffee is that the VIC
tins to the habit find great difficulty
in giving it up.
They will solemnly pledge to them
selves day after day that they will
abandon the use of it when they know
that 1t is shortening their days, but
morning after morning they fail. until
they grow to despise themselves for
their lack of self-controL
ANY one interested in his subject
would be greatly surprised to make a
systematic inquiry among prominent
brain workers There are hundreds of
thousands of our most prominent peo-
pie who have abandoned coffee otto
gether and are using Postum Food
Coffee in its place, and for the most
excellent reasons in the world. Many
of them testify that i'll health, nervous
prostration and consequent inability TO
work, has in times past pushed them
back and out of their proper standing

regain by the use of good health,
