His career undoubtedly was the most
remarkable of any living publisher,
both from viewpoint of vissitude
and success. He began his career
in St. Louis as hostler just after
the civil war, but 1t was only few
years than he found employment as
reporter for German publication

days Mr.. Pulitzer was such a hard
worker that his actions exasperated
the reporters for the English papers,
and he continued to 'exasperate,
his competitors until he lost his eye

unquestionably was leader in his
field of labor and his name will go
down in history as one of the coun-

panying sketch, and 1T is "a simple
contrivance that may be arranged
low down in the recess Of wall, or
in the lower part of cupboard. or
across the corner of room.
1t is very necessary to assign a
place for boots and shoes, when they
are removed where they may be more
or less out of sight; but the particular
advantage Of the rack illustrated Is
that the boots are held In such 20

DURING THUNDERSTORM MONDAY.

Mr.. jeff D. Griffin stricken dead,
Mr.. Charles Wynn Yeomans perhaps
fatally injured, and two young daugh-

burned by the electric fluid, was the
fearful story of the storm on Monday
afternoon, as told by parties from
the Griffin neighborhood coming to
Americas yesterday.
The Griffin hme is nine or ten miles
east of Americas, and the story of
the fearful casualty was not fully
known here until early yesterday
morning.
The thunderstorm swept that portion
Of the county, but the only damage
done was at the Griffin place.
Mr. Griffin, Mr.. Yoemans and the
young ladies, the Misses Griffin, were
sitting upon the front verandah Of
their home, watching the approach

struck the tree in the yard, shivering
it. CHANGING, the bolt fell among the
party upon the porch, and with ter
rible effect.
Mr. Griffin was killed instantly, his
body being burned severely by the
electric fluid
Mr.. Yoemans was knocked down, the
bolt ripping away one leg of his
trousers and tearing to pieces the
shoe on that limb. His injuries are
regarded as serious, though he will
doubtless recover shortly.
