Shocked by Lightning.

Mrs. A. o. Kennel was severely
shocked, Monday evening July 5th, by
bolt of lightning striking the house.
Mrs. Kennel was alone and does not
know when the house was struck and
had not recovered when Homer came
home. Her case is peculiar one for
she lay in an unconcious state for three
days and nights from which she could,
with difficulty, be aroused for only .
few minutes at time but she is slowly
improving and, although not able to be
up, is in a fair condition to recover
soon.-van Vert Record.

AFTER THE SKATERS
Corporation Counsel Tells How They
Nav Be Curbed.

Corporation Counsel Thomas has given
The opinion that children on roller skates
may be kept from the sidewalks by in
sorting the words 'or skates" in the ex-
listing police regulation which denies the
sidewalks to bicycles and tricycles. He
has also said that the the regulation Of
skaters on the driveways is one OF more
difficulty.
Maj. Sylvester made a suggestion not
long ago to prevent great crowds of
skaters from blocking the streets, by sim
ply CHASING a skate as vehicle and
turning the matter over to the traffic
squad. In his suggestion was embodied
the idea that 1t might be good thing to
permit only two people to skate abreast.
These ideas, in Mr.. Thomas mind,
would be extending the laws on vehicles
"A little too far. However, he has told
ahe Commissioners that it 'is entirely
within their province to make separate
regulation to prevent the obstruction and
congestion of traffic by skaters On the
streets.
