on Saturday, August 7th, at the age
of 35 years. She left an infant
daughter, five days old, and eight old

day afternoon, Rev. George Peacock
conducting the service from the Bap-
tist church.
Mrs. Miller was the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Jos. Warren Sr., who
located long ago where the Montana

Blackfoot schools, has always lived
in this locality, and had large cir

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.

When the thunder storm cut off
the power Wednesday, the coffee
grinder at DeKay's grocery was out
of commission. During the after
noon somebody turned the switch on
to see II the surrent had been restor-
ed, and left 1t on. When the store
was closed 1t was still on but nobody
knew it, and when the current came
on 1t burned out the motor and might
have burned the building, but some-
body discovered 1t and shut off the
current.
Several years ago the same thing
happened In The Democrat office.
The motor was ruined, and somebody

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Ben Harmon was killed by light
ming Wednesday at the Gold Point
mine.
Mr.. Harmon, e. T. Malcom and j.
q. Baker were in the barn and start
ed to run to tent some distance
away, Malcom and Harmon running
side by side and Baker following
some distance in the rear. There was
crash and all Of them fell. Baker
jumped right up and saw the others
PROSTATE. Malcom Immediately arose
and pointed mutely at Harmon. They
picked him up and carried him to
the tent, and Immediately began
working his arms to induce breathing.
There was streak down the right
side Of his head as if it had been
shaved, and the hair was scorched.
His clothing was rent from collar to
toes, and his hat and shoes were torn
in bits. There was an odor of burn
ed flesh that was terrible, but with
the application of the cold water this
disappeared to great extent. Dark
streaks marked the course of the cur
rent down the trunk and on both
legs to the toes. They worked with
him for thirty-fiv minutes without
getting any pulse beats, and then gave
up, but later they tried again for one
hour, with no success.
Baker and Malcolm felt no effects
from the bolt after being knocked
down.
Mrs. Harmon was visiting in Utah,
and she in company with Mr.. Har-
mons mother and sister came up on
the next train. The funeral takes
place at Thomas today.
Injured BY lightning.
On Wednesday at about 1890
while the family of F. M. Randall
were at dinner, crash of lightning
knocked them all PROSTATE on the
floor. All of them recovered in a
short time except Roy, and he re-
covered within few hours, but his
right side was dark colored from the
burn
The same crash that went into the
Randall home went into number of
other places by means of the wires,
and made lively electrical displays,
burning out telephones and stamped
ing the occupants.
Roy Randall's Experience.
When asked for his impressions of
being struck by lightning, Roy Ran
dali said that he saw the flash, felt
the flame about him and had thoughts
of gun being discharged close by.
He fell to the floor head down as he
remembers, and knew nothing more
until the doctor restored him with
medicine. Then he felt as If needles
were running through his flesh from
the right shoulder to the hip, and he
fell asleep. When he become con-
scious again the pain was the same
but less severe. He was unconscious
about two hours, and where the pain
was greatest the flesh was darkest.

He has a bright and pleasing style, is fair and
impartial in Judgment and envens his pages
with many personal incidents aid anecdotes
There is attempt to prepare a manual of
parliamentary law, and there is a distinct avoid
ance of dry and technical detail-even annota-
tions and references being purposely omitted
but in the course of the narrative the reader is
led from the contemplation of Il decOrOus and
nearly pOwerless presiding officer to the picture
of our legislative czar, who shapes legislation
by formation of committees, recognizes only
whom he pleases, counts a quorum and in gem
eral summarizes the power and force that the
people are supposed to delegate to their repre-
sentatives.
An appropriate introduction to the story is a
bird's-eye view of analogous functions in the
British Parliament and in the American Colonial
assemblies. When legislative bodies are small
and homogeneous their management is Il
parativey easy matter, but the mere size of the
Congress does not account for the greater reIa-
tive power of the American Speaker than that
ment is more numerous than Congress- and yet
the English Speaker has remained more nearly
what he was a century ago. The American
Speaker is at once a moderator and a political
leader; into the Speakership, as Mr.. Fuller says,
has been kneadcd the leaven of partisan politics
1t is not the authors province to discuss the
merits of such change; it is enough to record
it, and his narrative shows how, not suddenly
or conspicuously, but step by step and by nat
ural process of evolution the change has taken
place. The first Speakers were not men of COM
manding importance. There were Muhlenberg
of Pennsylvania; Trumbull. of Connecticut; Day
ton, of New Jersey; Sedgwick, OF Massachu-
setts. and Mason, of North Carolina; the latter
according to Henry Adams, a typical homespun
