Three men were killed and damage

Of thousands of dollars in a cloudburst
that hit Allentown, Pa.
Chain lightning" that blinded the
onlookers, was accompanied by terri
flying thunder A gale that rose to
seventy miles an hour blew down trees
by the hundreds in every part of the
city. The trees tore down electric
light and trolley wires
The rain was like a cataract. With
in five minutes streets were guttertul
and the water flooded over the side
walks into cellars. Houses were un-
rooted in every section of the city.
To add to the damage the storm
brought with it hail whose like was
never seen here. There were hail
stones ranging in size from a hickory
nut to a boys fist The hail smashed
window panes on the exposed side OF
almost every house in town.
At Tenth and Union streets a light
ming blast smashed a tree, which fell
on a house in which Mrs Carrie Al
lender conducted a boarding house
One side of the house was built of cor
rugated iron. A high tension wire
carrying $4,000 volts fell against the
iron side of the house. Two men in
the house, Hannibal Dotterer and r.
vim Cackenbach, were electrocuted
and Mrs. Allender shocked into in.

John Wagner, a friend of the men
killed, rushed into the house in a /
heroic effort to rescue them. As he |

glad did, for it has cured me.
II know of so many cases where wo-
men have been cured by Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound that can
say to every suffering woman if that
medicine does not help her, there is
nothing that will."-Mrs. JANETZKI,
1868 Arch St., Chicago, Ill.
This is the age of substitution. and
women who want a cure should insist
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did. and
not accept something else on which the
druggist can make little more profit.
Women who are passing through this
critical period or who are suffering
from any of those distressing ills pc
Guliar to their sex should not lose sight
of the fact that for thirty years Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which is made from roots and herbs,
has been the standard remedy for fe-
male ills. In almost every community
you will find women who have been
restored to health by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.

Milford People Should Not Wait Until

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disesse is due in most cases TO the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms give place
to chronic disorders and the sufferer
goes gradually into the grasp OF dia-
betes, dropsY, Bright's disease, gravel
or some other serious form Of kidney
complaint.
II you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells if the kidney secre-
tions are irregular Of passage and IN.
natural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.
DOan's Kidney Pills are especially for
kidney disOrders-they succeed where

there's lot of fun In them when
they go with the homo team. but
when they're against the home club

majority of them like to get away

In the game-the subject often turns
to freak plays of the diamond. One
Of the freakiest on record happened in
Minneapolis some seasons ago.
The Minneapolis club had little
sbortstop named Andy Oyler. who was
a corking fielder, but wasn't much on
the heavy hitting. He was one OF the
smallest men in baseball, and. to
make it worse, when he stood up to
the plate he crouched all up in
knot. It was horrible on the pitchers
to have to throw to Oyler. r..
One day Minneapolis was playing
st. Paul. There was deadly, rivalry
between the teams. and the game was
for blood all the way through 1t had
rained the day before the game, and
the ground was sopping wet. The
base runners had foundered around
like chickens with their feet tied.
Minneapolis needed one run when it,
tie Oyler came to bat f.
Andy crouched down In his peculiar
way, and the pitcher wound up. Bling!
He let hot one go straight for
Oyler's head. Andy zducked down,
bending his knee and leaning his bat
over his shoulder. The ball hit the
bat crack and every one at the park
heard it. -.
Where the ball went no one knew
It hadn't gone up in the air. for the
st. Paul catcher was gazing around
the sky and wishing for a telescope.
The first baseman was looking under
the bag to see II the ball got stuck
there, the pitcher was shouting unin-
telligible things at everybody and the
third baseman was accusing the UNI
pire OF standing on the ball: Every
one on the st. Paul team was crazy
mad. >*-a:#
What was Oyler doing? He was

When the second baseman on the
st. Paul team heard that he started
after Oyler. who had just rounded

the start. though, and he left the sec
ond baseman SO far in the rear that
people began advising the latter to

new YORK GETSPENNANT,
RECALLING MATHEWSON
FROM HIS WEDDING TRIP

Brooklyn, Oct. 5.-New York
clinched the pennant by defeating
Brooklyn yesterday. Should Chica-
go win all it's remaining games and
the New York team lose theirs, the
New Workers cannot be overhauled.
The game was a pitchers duel be-
tween Mathewson and Rucker, the
latter having been recalled from his
wedding trip to pitch. He was to
have been married Oct. IL, but the
ceremony was advanced to Sunday
last. Rucker pitched as we'll as did
Mathewson, but two errors following
a hit by Doyle in the fourth inning,
were responsible for one tally. Ruck-
err retired in the eighth to let Daley
bat for him, and New York scored
its second run off Knetzer in the
ninth on Devore's single: a steal. a
wild pitch and an infield tap by Snod-
grass. The game was further fea-
tured by a. triple play in the ninth in
ming, when, with Doyle on second
and Snodgrass on first, Murray pop
ped a fly to Stark. A hit and run
play was under way and the rum
ners were going full tilt. Stark
tossed the ball to Doubert, doubled up
Snodgrass, and the triple play was
completed when Daubeft threw to
Tooley, mailing Doyle.
