Lightning struck and burned the large
barn on the farm near Leslie, tenanted by
Andrew ]. Worth, on Saturday evening.
The livestock was saved, but all imple-
ments. harness, etc., in the barn were
lost.
During the heavy storm Saturday after
noon, in Lancaster county, the large barn
belonging to David, King on the farm
operated by his son, John, about two miles
north Of Intercourse, caught fire from
lightning and was totally destroyed. A
horse, a bull and COW perished in the
flames. A tobacco shed and straw shed
situated close to the barn were also burn
ed. The barn was not heavily stocked
with crops, but most of the implements
were consumed. In the cellar of the
tobacco shed twenty-five pounds of dy-
Mantle were stored. When the flames
reached the dynamite it went off with a
terrific explosion. Mr.. Kings house is
located not far distant from the barn, and
the force Of the explosion demolished all
of the windows in the residence. The
barn was of brick nd'frame, and practi-
cally new structure.
The barn owned by Benjamin Heller.
and tenanted by his son. Jacob, about a
mile northeast of Eden, near Mechanics
burg. was struck by Lightning in the Sat
urday night storm and totally destroyed.
The family was absent from home at the
time. All of the live stock except hog
and some chickens were saved. All of
the implements were burned. There is
an insurance of $945 on the barn and and
$500 on the contents.

Champion Strawberries.

The MIDLAND JOURNAL was favored
with box Of prize strawberries last week
by William J. Edmundson. Of near town.
The berries were from Mr.. Edmundsons
patch, mention of which was made
week or two ago. From 900 plants he
had picked up to June 10, about I5o
quarts. and estimated the patch would
yield fully so quarts more. some of the
plants still being in blossom.
The plants are prolific bearers. some of
the berries being remarkable for their
size and peculiar form-Hat or fan shaped.
One of the largest measured four inches
ACROSS, seven of them filing an ordinary
quart berry box.
The plants grow unusually tall, the
berries hanging three or four inches from
the ground on strong stems. One plant
has produced as many as quart of berries
at one picking, a peculiar feature being
that the fiat and round berries grow upon
the same stem. The berries are firm and
of delicious favor. The plants were
obtained from Allentown, Pa, but Mr..
Edmundson does not know their variety.
Since mention of the remarkable size of
the berries in the JOURNAL, which was
widely copied in the papers. he has had
numerouslIinquiries and applications for
plants from all parts the country.

MRS. WHITNEY WAS BROKE.
Daughter of Late John Hay Asks OF.
ficer for Coin.

New York, Jan. 2s.-Mrs. Payne
whitney, who was a daughter of the
late John Hay, and two society wo-
men friends. spent an unpleasant
hour in Flushing today trying to raise
500 with which to bail the Whitney
chauffeur, Henry Allendorf, who had
been arrested for speeding.
At the Flushing station house Lieu
tenant Williams demanded 500 bail
for Allendorfs appearance. He did
not have the money. The women,
who were waiting outside in the ma
chine, were consulted. They made up
a purse of $40, which was every cent
they had. The police lieutenant
scorned it.
Then Mrs. Whitney thought of the
extra tires which the machine carried
They are worth SIS a pair" she
said. Take them and the money, but
let US have our machine and driver"
Lieutenant Williams accepted this
proposition and the party started off.
Suddenly they remembered that
they had not cent to pay the ma
chimes toll across the New Williams
burg bridge. They returned to the
station and persuaded the lieutenant
to give them back a dollar.

Acid Dyspepsia
Nervous People Are Frequent Suffer
erS From Too Much Hydrochloric
Acid in the Stomach.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

"Sour stomach or acid dyspepsia,
is form of indigestion in which en-
t rely too much hydrochloric acid is
| secreted by the stomach. A sour taste
| in the mouth is the most common
symptom of acid dyspepsia; and the
saliva, which is normally alkaline. is
, found. when tested. to be changed to
acid, or just the opposite of what it
should be. and in a state of the secre-
ton which causes rapid and extern
sive destruction of the teeth.
Everything eaten turns more or less
sour in the stomach. but sweets and
acid fruits are far worse in this re-
spect than other foods. If the eruc-
tation of liquids from the stomach oc-
ours, they have such an extremely sour
taste as to set the teeth on edge.
Hydrochloric acid is an important
constituent in the gastric juice. but
when too much of it is secreted it does
positive harm to the mucous lining of
the stomach: and when acid dyspepsia
is long continued it often sets up
chronic gastritis. gastric ulcer and
other serious diseases. The premature
loss of all the teeth has been caused
by acid saliva. which was dependent
upon the excessively acid condition of
the stomach
