Tobacco plants as well as all kinds of
crops within radius of about three
and half to five miles of this city
were badly damaged, if not practically
destroyed, by terrific hail storm and
cyclonic wind which swept through this
section of the country at noon Satur-
day. There was no damage to speak
of done in the city, but hail stones as
large as door knobs fell throughout the
country districts and many farm houses
came through the storm with not sim
gle pane of glass left in the windows
facing the wind. So great was the de-
mand for window glass after the storm
that the stock on hand in the local
stores was sold out before the farmers
who came to town were all supplied.
Consequently many of them have been
compelled to stuff old clothes in the
windows or paste paper over the holes.
Among those whose windows suffered
were Frank Billiard, who lost AZ panes
of glass, John Reese with Sc, Frank
Upper, Orrin Johnson and many 9TH
ers in the immediate vicinity. Driven
by the high wind, the large hail struck
with terrific force. Cattle left in the
pastures during the storm were badly
frightened and narrowly escaped in
jury in the wire fences as they gallop-
ed up and down the fields seeking shell
ter.

CORRESPONDENCE
Milton Junction

Lester C Randolph, d d. late pastor
of the D B church at Alfred, N T.,
was welcomed to his new charge in
Milton last Saturday morning in most
fitting manner.
The farm of the S G Burdick estate
in the town of Lima has been purchas-
ed by Hans Serns, who has been occu-
plying the Freedom homestead.
Frank M Smalley celebrated his 18th
birthday last Thursday. Among those
who were here to assist in the pleasant
occasion were his daughters, Mrs M P
Baukin of Beloit and Mrs Bert Hill of
GAINESVILLE, and friend of the family,
Mrs Estes of Beloit.
Alfred Stillman Durham, a son of
Jeremiah and Elizabeth Randolph Dun
ham, was born in New Brunswick, N j /,
February 10, 1851, and died in Harri-
man, Tenn, May 81, 1910. The son was
bereft in boyhood of fathers loving
care. Soon after this sad misfortune,
the son, at the age of fourteen years,
came west to make his home with the
brothers of his mother, BraZilla, Elias
and Thomas Randolph of Albion, Wis.
His mother married again and became
the wife of Deacon David Dunn of New
Market, N 7, and after his death, the
wife of Deacon Barton Edwards of Al
bion, Wis. The son enjoyed in his
youth for some time the excellent edu-
cational advantages afforded by the AL
bion academy, at that time under the
charge of Prof A R Cornwall. He was
married Jan 26, 1872, to Tina Monroe,
one of the three daughters of VIM
Monroe, at that time residing near the
Rock River church. The pair made
Nebraska their home for two years and
afterwards resided in Milton and vicin-
ity until the year 1889, at which time
they removed to Hartman, Tenn. In
these highlands of eastern Tennessee
there was then as there is now in many
places of the southland an inviting
prospect of acquiring competency by
engaging in the business of reducing
the forests of pine, cedar and other
valuable woods into lumber ready for
northern markets.

For a Sane Fourth.

The state fire marshal's department
sends out from Madison some very val
liable suggestions for safe and sane
fourth. After stating the results of
the last fourth, by which 200 boys and
girls lost their lives and III lost one or
more fingers, not to mention many
other injuries, the department suggests
a remedy, as follows:
First. We would urge upon CONNER
cial bodies, civic organizations and city
governments the necessity of providing
for safe and sane fourth, as we have
no desire to rob Young America of this
celebration. These bodies can provide
games, amusements and exercises for
children, which will be quite as accept
able to them, will be more likely to in
stall the valuable lessons of patriotism,
and will not be fraught with danger to
life, limb or property.
Second. AS further remedy we
urge that the existing laws and the
local ordinances on the subject of fire
works be strictly enforced.
We call attention to Section 4398f of
the statutes of this state, being Chap
ter 140 of the Session Laws of 1905.
This law prohibits the sale, manufac-
ture and importation into the state of
all irecrackers containing dynamite,
.chlorate of potash or other explosives,
except ordinary gunpowder. 1t further
prohibits the sale or keeping for sale
of any firecrackers over five inches in
length and seven-eighths of an inch in
diameter. A severe penalty is provid-
ed for the violation of this law.
The mayor and police officers of the
various cities should see to the enforce
ment of this law and of any ordinance
on the subject in their respective city,
Third. AS a further safeguard for
the future it is our intention to prepare
and submit to city governments an or
dinance to prohibit the sale of all dan
gerous fireworks and pyrotechnic dis
plays.
Such ordinance can be passed in time
to act as warning to merchants not
to lay in prohibited fireworks for future
years.
Fourth. Whenever public celebra-
tons are held and fireworks and pyro-
technic displays used, we recommend
that such celebrations be held in parks
where valuable property will not be ex-
posed, and under the supervision of
adults.

A woman sch can s'ote, n can navigate

n can even drive the tricky motor car.
She can sail in a balloon to the Pleiades
or moon,
Or can make her port Of cal the polar
star;
She can shoot the wary duck, or the fleet
and antlered buck.
She can ride to hounds n jump the
hedges, too,
She can learn to play baseball, she can
make the ninepins fall,
And can use with grace and skill the
billiard cue.
She can box and she can fence with an
energy intense,
Sne can tool a coach or drive a tandem
team,
She can waltz the livelong night, and be-
meath the morning light
Look as fresh and fair and dainty as a

She can land tie skittish trout, and can

But she never can go shining up a

The Oldest Storage Eco.


A prospector examining stones in the
bed Of the ella river, in Arizona, came
upon what seemed to be a water-worn
pebble, four or five inches in diameter.
He cracked off a fragment with his pick
and discovered a fossil egg inside. The
contents had been converted into a sub
stance resembling asphalt, which con-
irmed the theory hat bitumen Is de-
rived from animal remains. The egg
Is as large as that of a duck or goose,
and must have lain for hundreds of
thousands Of years in the ground. A
bird of the size of a goose or cormorant
must have laid 1t. and then 1t must
have fallen into the water, or into the
soft ooze of which limestone is formed,
with sufficient force to become en-
bedded, and thus protected. For years
the ooze continued to be formed on
top, and at last the whole became con-
solidated with limestone. Then the
limestone was shifted from its watery
bed, perhaps by volcanic action, and
formed a portion Of a mountain range.
Through the agency of frost and rain.
cold and sunshine, fragments o. lime
stone were broken off, until at last the
egg was reached, and the piece of stone
containing 1t fell into the ella river.
1t was rolled over and over among a
multitude Of other stones, until its
angles were rubbed off and II became

THE DRY SHAMPoos.
Tho Dangerous vapor Given Off by
Some Preparations.
From American. Medicine.

From American. Medicine.
The dangers of the dry shampoos
that have recently come into vogue are
2nquestionably not sufficiently recog-
niZed. The growing use Of some of
the light hydro-carbon or other volatile
compounds Is probably fraught with
the most serious consequences, but
even the apparently innocuous sham
poo powders have their drawbacks.
Carbon tetrachlord seems to AVE been
used most extensively in this connec-
ton, and the number Of fatal acct
Tents which are being recorded makes
1t incomprehensible that a drug so
dangerous should be employed at all.
It's formula, COLA, shows it's near re-
lation to chloroforrn, and its anaesthe-
tic properties are almost as marked.
The vapor given off is considerably
heavier than air and rapidly
iates around the face when the liquid
8 applied to the scalp.
Innumerable cases of semi-conscious-
ness are reported, Ii Is claimed, by the
English hairdressers, but the patrons,
women almost exclusively, do not OBJ
ject and SO the playing with death
goes on. 1t is a frightful commentary
on the faulty Of the day. The vapor
Of carbon ~tetrachlorid, aside from its
a~naesthetic or stupefying effect. is a
heart poison, and in the presence of the
lightest cardiac weakness Is extreme
ly likely to produce a fatal result.
1t would seem, in view of such def
nite,y established facts and the sew
erai deaths that already can be traced
to this highly toxic agent, that the use
of all such preparations should be in
terdicted once and for all. Society
through governmental act must nee
again save the foolish from their lack
Of common s
Shampooing at regular intervals has
reached in the United States the status
Of a hygienic habit, and the benefits
are being shown in the already I'M
proved condition Of the hair and scalp

The Lesser Evil.
From Boston Record.


A duck hunter returning from tho
Maine shores tells a story typical OF
the hardy men who live there. On one
Of the islands near where he went lived
a man who acted as postman for the
few scattering houses on the island, and
who would row to the mainland every
day and bring back the mail, for which
he received so cents.
One morning during a terrific storm
the hunter saw the postman pull over:
several times during the trip the boat
was nearly swamped, and the man in
danger of his life.
why in the world did you make that
trip?" asked the hunter, surely not for
the 80 cents?"
We'll, you see," replied the postman,

founded long letter to Washington ex.

The Pedestrian in 1910.

Chug-chug!
Br-r-r! b-r-r!
H~onk-honk!
MISUNDERSTANDING!
The pedestrian paused at the intersection
of two busy cross streets, and looked
about.
An automobile was rushing at him from
one election. a motorcycle from another.
an autotruck was coming from behind,
and a taxicab was speedily approaching.
Zip-zip. Engaging!
He looked up and saw directly above
him a runaway airship in rapid descent.
There was but one chance. He was
standing upon a manhole cover. Quick
ly seizing 1t, he lifted the lid and jumped
into the hole-just in time to be run
over by a subway train.
