During the electrical storm Sum
day morning, which was most severe
in the northeast part of the city, the
home occupied by Arthur v. Gruver,
538 Newton street, was struck by
blinding flash of lightning, and it is
almost miracle that some or all of
the half dozen inmates We're, not in
stantly killed. All of the inmates
suffered slight shock, but for few
minutes they did not realize what a
narrow escape they had had. The
lightning came into the house by the
chimney, completely wrecking it and
throwing the brick and plastering all
over the bed in one of the upstairs
rooms Fortunately the bed was url-
occupied. The plastering and lath on
the walls of the room were torn loose
and most of the plastering fell to the
floor. Only one window in the upper
story was left uninjured. The glass
in the windows was broken into a
thousand pieces. The pipe Of the kit
chen stove was twisted into an unrec-
ognizable mass. It appears from the
appearance of the house that the Night
ming sought egress at the four corners,
the wood being split and torn at each
place The floors, Of the upper hall
were torn and splintered and look much
as if some husky individual with
heavy ak had commenced in this Pc
culiar way to tear down the home.
On each side of where the twins
were sitting the floor Of the kitchen
is also torn and splintered.

Des Moines. June 12.--Despite the
vigorous fight which the railroads put
up before the state railroad commission
last week against blanket joint rate
schedule, it Is stated by persons In a
| position to know that already the rail-
roads are beginning to put in joint
rates on their own motion.
For instance, it is said that the Col
fax & Northern mileage has been "ab-
sorbed' by the Great Western in maxi
ing rates from Colfax to points on the
Great Western: that is, the Great
Western is handling freight at the
straight distance tariff Instead Of the
sum of the local tariffs for the two dis
tances on the two lines.
Other instances have been cited re-
Gently, and 1t is believed among in
formed men that 1t will not be long
until the railroads are handling freight
all over Iowa on a straight distance
tariff basis, just as they handle inter-
state business into Iowa. A shipment
from Chicago to point in Iowa re-
quiring transfer from one line to an
other in this state doesn't take the dis
tance tariff rate in Iowa, but takes a
continuous interstate. rate. The same
system, it is understood now, the rail-
roads will soon apply to their business
within the state.
What the roads hope to avoid is the
issuance Of q blanket joint rate by the
state commission, which would add to
rather than take from the rightly Of
the present distance tariff.
Another element in reducing the rig
idlty Of the Iowa distance tariff to a
minimum Is the newly used clause of
the law giving railroads the power to
make special rates for the protection
and development" of new industries in
Iowa. This has made the new cement
factory in Des Moines possible. Its
operation will be largely extended. it
is believed, among business men.
It is probable that whatever rigidity
remains in the Iowa maximum tariff
schedule will be removed after another
legislature has gone into the subject
of rates; If, in the meantime, the fed
eral courts decide that all rates on
railroads are interstate and the states
them, but that function rests wholly
with the interstate commerce commits
sion, acting for the congress.

wisdom and common sense and he is
stronger in the hearts of the people
today than ever.
This week he goes to New York
to begin a campaign through that
state. He has just closed a lecture
tour of the west and has another
scheduled for later in the fall His
vitality is little short of marvellous.
His mental activity is superb.
No matter what the critics say of
Bryan, he is the pioneer in that field
or reform in which President Roose-
welt, Governor Folk, Senator La Fol-
lette and Governor Hughes now shine
SO brilliantly.
Eleven years ago, before Roosevelt,
Folk, La Toilette or Hughes conceiv-
ed of any of their fearless strokes for
political reform and law enforcement
Bryan was loudly proclaiming this
doctrine; he was fearlessly, almost
single handed, demanding the prose-
cution of the criminal trusts, the reg
ulation of the corporations, the pas
sage of laws by which illegal combi-
nations might be prosecuted.
He ante-dates Roosevelt several
years as a reformer. He is a pioneer
ir that popular field in which the pres
ident is now reaping such glorious
laurels.
If Bryan is not sometime president
of the United States, he may never
theless enjoy the consolation of know
ing that he has forced decency, hon.
esty, law enforcement upon the coun-
try by his persistent and self-sacrific-
ing labors on the lecture platform.
He does, not need the presidency to
complete his remarkable career.
His record stands unique among
American reformers.
