Peculiar Freak of Lightning.

Prof. A. Herschel, in the Quarterly

extraordinary effects produced by
lightning in the midst OF an open moor
in Northumberland. A hole four or
five feet in diameter was made in the
fiat, peaty ground, and from this half
a dozen furrows extended on all sides.
Pieces of turf were thrown In various
directions, one three feet in diameter
and foot thick having fallen rs feet

that in addition to the effects visible
on the surface. small holes had been
bored in the earth radiating from the
large excavation.

CORRESPONDENCE

On Thursday evening, March Goth, at
7:3O o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs
Jens G. johnson occurred the marriage
of their daughter, Hilda Leonora to AL
bert NJ Lein of Albion, Rev He vorson
performing the ceremony.
James Scobie, ST., started 7 ureka,
New, last Saturday. This was To home
of his brother John, whose des h was
announced last week. Mr. Scot 70 will
close up the business affairs of his
brother and then go to California to visit
his sister before he returns.
A deal that had been under consider
alton for some time was finally brought
to conclusion last Monday when A w
Larson of Deerfield purchased the Cam
bridge telephone exchange. Mr. Larson
will begin at once to improve the local
service and to secure additional sub
scribers. 1t is his intention to also i'm
prove the toll service and will build a
direct line to Deerfield which will give
as a more direct line to Madison and
other points. Another line will be built
to Fort Atkinson as soon as these other
improvements have been made.
A strange phenomenon is reported at
the Dane county poorhouse at Verona.
Thirteen years ago spring adjacent to
the poorhouse went dry after long years
OF flow. 1t remained inactive until
about two weeks ago, when it broke out
with great force. The first indications
of an awakening were seen in the heav-
ing upwards of the cement floor in the
heating plant of the poorhouse. The
pressure is strong, and the flow is suf-
ficient to fill IL inch pipe half full. Ii
any use can be made of the flow it will
be as a cooler for the milk. At present
it threatens to cause the low lands near
by to be flooded, and some system OF
drainage will have to be devised to avoid
this. The water is clear and cold, and il
undoubtedly will not be allowed to go to
waste.

The insect and the Net

It has been known for a long time
that an insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large as its body, whereas bird Awill
go through mesh of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect can
not tell us why it stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through,
and its peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up, as they do all things of that kind
They say that the eye of the insect is
made up of many facets, so that the
net looks to it like continuous opaque
surface, the meshes not being appar-
ent. Therefore it stops or turns back
before it discovers that it might have
gone through the net without stopping.
To the eye Of the bird, however, the
meshes are plainly visible, and it goes
through without hesitation.

RECIPE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Directions to Prepare Simple, Yet r.
markable Home Mixture.


There IS so much Rheumatism here in
our neighborhood now that the following
advice by an eminent authority, who
writes for readers of large eastern daily
paper, will be highly appreciated by
those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
of Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla. Shake
these well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime; also drink plenty of good water.
It is claimed that there are few victims
of this dread and torturous disease who
fail to find ready relief in this simple
me-made mixture, and in most cases a
permanent cure is the result.
This simple remedy is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues of
the Kidneys, so that they can filter and
strain from the blood and system the
poisons, acids and waste matter, which
cause not only rheumatism, but numer-
Gus other diseases. Every man or woman
here who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, or who suffer from
any urinary trouble whatever, should
not hesitate to make up this mixture, as
it is certain to do much good, and may
save you from much misery and suffer
ing after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription ready to take if our readers
ask them.

are being received on every hand. No
effort has yet been made In GAINESVILLE
to raise the money needed or sell the
stock of the association and it is prob
able that another meeting will be held
when permanent organization is com
pleted before this will be done. 4 fair
price has been made for the grounds by
J M Bostwick & Sons, who own them,
and the plan now meeting with most
favor is to buy them outright.
With the aid of a % horse power gaso.
line engine which pulls seven Is inch
plows, the p Hohenadel Co is preparing
several acres daily for the spring plant
ing. Aside from the difficulties with
heavy machine in soft ground, the agri-
cultural innovation is working we'll.
Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock the en-
tire north wall of the two-story brick
building used by the Pember brothers
as tobacco warehouse on North Frank
lin street slid down into the cellar. Three
workmen who we're at work in the cellar
and two who were in the Office and one
of the proprietors who was in the rear of
the building narrowly escaped. A big
ger cellar was being dug under the
building and the walls had not been
shored up strong enough to hold them
up. There were only about 200 cases of
tobacco in the building, so that it did
not collapse from overlooking. The
workmen who were in the cellar heard
the wall begin to give and scrambled
out. Mr. Pember was in the northwest
corner of the building and felt it give.
He fastened to the office in the front
and told the two men who were there
that the building was going to collapse
and that they had better get out. Al
most Immediately after they had all left
the building the entire north wall slid
down into the cellar. The upper por-
ton of the wall crumbled and the roof
gave way, but the lower part of the wall
is still in an upright position.
