Killed by Lightning
While Under a Tree.

Laurens, July 9.-During the severe
electric storm in this section yester-
day afternoon Mr.. E. McLees Cum
ningham, a well-to-do farmer, was
struck and killed by lightning in a
field, about a mile and a half from
his home, in the Rocky Springs neigh
borhood, about five miles from here.
Mr.. Cunningham was in the field with
his hands when the storm arose, and
the presumption is that he took re-
fuge upder a big poplar tree, under
which his body was found, which had
been struck by the lightning: The
field hands who were at work with
Mr.. Cunningham all went to the
house, supposing that Mr.. Cunning
ham had preceded them. However,
when he did not make his appearance
it caused uneasiness and q search was
begun. The body was not found until
$3.50 O'Clock last night, when the party
came upon it beneath a large tree.
Life was extinct.

HOTTEST WEEK OF SEASON.
Rain Badly Needed i'm Every County
In State.


The past week was the hottest OF
the season and maximum tempera-
lures of 100 degrees occurred fire.
quently in the eastern counties along
the Columbia river. The winds,
however, were light and consequently
evaporation was not excessive. In the
western counties the 11th and 18th
were very sultry and oppressive days,
although the maximum temperatures
were not unusually high, being less
than 80 degrees in most localities. On
the afternoon of the 18th cloudlness
increased. a few showers occurred,
and the temperature on the 18th was
much lower in the Willamette valley
and in the southern counties west Of
the Cascade mountains. Rain is now
badly needed in all districts as none
of consequence has fallen in the
western counties since June 26, and
in the eastern counties since June 20.
The sunshine has averaged above the
normal and in consequence of the
protracted period of dry weather for
est fires are beginning to be trouble

and Coast ranges of mountains.

Des Molnes, the capital and also
the commercial center Of Iowa, has
adopted a new system Of municipal
government, which because Of its dis
tnctive features, has been christened
the Des Moines plan. To fix RESPONSE
bllity for administrative acts, is the
essence Of the plan. The second con-
sideratlon was to have a governing
body responsive to these two elements
In proper relationship would produce
a highly efficient government.
The administration of municipal
affairs, under the Des Moines plan, Is
in the hands of a'board consisting Of
the mayor and four councilmen The
board stands in the same relation to
the business of government as the d.
rectors of a trading corporation bear
to the company's business.
The mayor and council make all
appropriate all funds,
levy and collect taxes, establish rules
for the direction Of subordinate off
cials and direct the expenditure Of all
money In order that the responsible
ity for official acts may be still fur
ther fixed. the business OF the city Is
divided into five departments. public
affairs, accounts and finances, public
safety, streets and public improve
ments, parks and public property.
Each member Of the council is as
signed by mutual agreement to one
Of these departments. the mayor as
suming, by cirtue of his office. the
Of public affairs.
Each councilman, therefore, be-
comes individually responsible for the
conduct of the affairs of his depart
ment over which he exercises the au,
thority of a superintendent.
Up to this point the Des Moines
plan does not differe from the system
Of government instituted in Calves
ton after the city was swept away by
the flood. But the Des Moines plan
has other features Coupled with this
almost autocratlc power and lndivid-
ual responsibility on the part Of the
is the recall. Although
the Officers are elected for definite
term, yet by exercising the recall they
may be removed from office at any
