Panic, fires and foods were the re-
suits of the storm which hit South Chi
eago and surrounding vicinity. The
heavy rain which fell in ceaseless tor
rents caused sewers to overflow and
Easements to be flooded, causing seri-
Gus damage.
The places that were struck by light
ming were:
German Lutheran church, One Hun
dredth street and Winston avenue;
steeple struck and damaged.
775 West Sixty-third place, three
story brick fiat building struck on the
cornice by lightning tearing away part
of the roof.

Two story brick builing struck and
set on fire by lightning. Two families
driven out in panic and found shelter

Within two hours Z of an inch of

a remarkable fall in such a brief
period. The lightning crippled all the

place, George Odendouogh, who lives
with his family on the second floor. was

CUBS sLATHER CARDINALS.

St Louis, May 2s.-Chicago's Cubs
walked all over the Cardinals In the
first game of the series here, and that
after the st. Louis youngsters had a
comfortab Bile lead and looked to be in
a fair way to win As it turned out
the Cubs had but little to fear after
the third inning. and widened the gap
after that enough to win to 2.
Miserable fielding was mostly re-
sponsibIe for the loss of the contest,
and Chicago's hitting did not play as
important a figure as might be indi-
Gated by the fact that the Cubs picked
up eleven swats.

H. S. BOYS IN dOuT
Hobart Lads Returning
From Meet, Buy Beer at
Half way House.

In speaking of the recent high school
athletic meet at Crown Point, the Ho-
bart Gazette says:
The only deplorable and regretable
result of the county meet last Saturday
was the behavior of a bus load of Ho-
bart boys who came home late and con-
Quoted themselves unbecoming young
men. Only two of the number, we I'M
derstand are high school boys, but all
with possibly one exception are minors.
As the boys were returning from the
meet they halted the bus at Merrill
Vile. where one of the boys bought a
dollars worth of bottled beer This
was freely drank on the way back and
after eleven o'clock and upon the street
here the boys began to quarrel and
fight and rodyism prevailed for some
time. What a shame for young men OF
their standing to engage in such de-
grading manner! AS the young man
who purchased the beer is a minor
the saloonkeeper selling him the liquor
could be prosecuted, and probably will
be. It is certainly hoped the like will
never reoccur.

BRISK WAGERING IS LIKELY.

Milwaukee, May 2S.-Betting on the
Papke-K etchen bout bids fair to be
livelier than at first expected. It is
said that quite a delegation of Paple's
friends are willing to take a chance
on their choice and will be prepared
to cover good sized sum of the
money the coast delegation is bringing
from San Francisco.
Ketchel is now said to be down to
164 pounds and expects to have no diff
ficulty in making the weight. He runs
four miles each day as starter for his
work and works with four sparring
partners.

chief aim is to get Jimmy Driscoll here

fore on of these organizations. He
also wishes to get a chance to bid for
the bout between Mcfarland and Cans

MOTHER SEEKING CHILDREN

Fayetteville, Nov. 13.- Mrs. Hosea Parker arrived in this city searching for her children, the youngest being only two years old, which were carried away by her husband three weeks ago.
 She says that he took the children in his wagon with her team on visit to his mother, but failed to come nome at the ap- pointed time.
 Mrs. Parker, being penniless, then walked to his mothers but found him gone. His people, she says, would give her no informa- tion, but she believes Parker has gone to Fort Gibson. She left here for that place on foot. She walked to Huntsville Thursday, having travelled afoot from Berry vile via Huntsville to that place. Some one there furnished her conveyance to Fayetteville, where she has been provided for by sympathizers.

CALDWELL & DRAKE

Bribery Charge Not Dismissed

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-Con- trary to press dispatches sent out from Laportd, Ind, Cald- we'll and Drake will not give up the fight for the continuation of theie contract work on the new state capitol building. On the contrary, word was received yesterday from George w. Cald- well, of the contracting firm. who was then in Springfield, Mo-, where the concern has a large contract, saying that he was coming to Little Rock at once and would remain for some time to prepare for the contest in the legislature in January and the fight has not yet begun.
 Mir. Caldwell is expected here Sunday. Representatives of the concern last night stated that they had no intention of giving up the contract and Mir. Cald- wells policy would be for the legislature to either order him to go ahead with the work, or pay him in full and kick him out. It is said he will demand action in some manner and will contest through the courts if necessary.
 As for the dismissal of the bribery charges against Mir. Caldwell, Prosecuting Attorney Campbell says this is news to him, for he has made no such arrangement, and will not be a party to any so1t of compro- mise. The general opinion is that the case will ultimately be dismissed, on account of the in- ability of the state to get testi- mony sufficient to warrant a long drawn out hearing, with its enormous expense to the state.

THE NEWS AND 1908


 This is the first issue of the News in the new year, 1908. We begin the new year with confidence in the future, and of course, hope that our confidence has not been mis- placed. During the two months that the paper has heen under the present management business has been such that we have really no cause to complain, when busi- ness conditions are considered.
 During the present year we in- tend to get out the best paper our ability will permit. and the largest paper the patronage accorded will justify. It has always been the policy of this paper to do all in it's power to further the interests of he town and this section of the territory, and this policy shall not be deviated from in the future.
 While the new year finds this great country struggling with a financial dilemma of gigantic pro- portions, we really believe that the year 1908 will see more prosperity, more happiness and more of all things people care most for, and ace it right here in Williams, too Financial troubles of equal magni-
 ude have haunted this country before, and after soaring the dear public half out of its wits. left as suddenly as they came, leaving the iinancial horizon as clear and cloud less as before their advent. So it will be with the present difficulty. And as soon as it does, Williams will take up a notch or two in it's belt and stride forward with leaps md bounds. The NEWS won't be found in the rear of the procession. '.ither.
 Everybody who reads this paper contributes, in a way, toward it's success. So if the dear reader will pardon us, We will saw off this juggling of financial prognostica- tions, plans for the future, etc., by wishing him or her a new year ,f unparalleled happiness and prosperity.
