STAUNT0N STRUCK By WORST
STORM in FIFTEEN YEARS.

| StauntOn, Va, June 4.-This after
noon the worst storm in fifteen years
fell upon this city. Lightning. thun-
der rain and hail held sway with fear
ful severity for more than half an
hour. Bruce Flats, an apartment
! house on Madison street, In one Of
the best sections OF the city, suffered
badly. The roof was entirely remov-
ed and John Crosby, president of the
City Council, together with several
other occupants, had a narrow escape.
Three families live in Bruce Flats,
which Is commodious structure two
stories high. The roof was torn from
the old United Brethren church in the
heart of the city, and carried fifty
yards away.
! Thousands of windows were shatter-
ed by the immense hail stones that
beat down upos the city. At the Val
ley Green House, $50 panes of glasses
were broken. After the storm only
forty-one panes could be counted in
the entire establishment. Everywhere
in the city residents are telling of
furniture and other household articles
that were either damaged or entirely
destroyed by the deluge of water that
poured in after the hail had beaten
out the window panes. Hundreds
probably thousand-trees ware
blown down in all parts of the city.
Fences, outhouses, and light structures
were leveld on all sides. Steet lights,
street cars, and telephone wires were
hard hit. 1t is reported that the
South Street Car bridge, mile from
town, was washed away. The electric
light plant, however, is rapidly get
ing back in shape and tonight the city
is not in entire darkness.
1t is impossible to reach the county
10y telephone, as the local wires in all
directions, are out of commission.
The long distance wires escaped dam
age. Tomorrow as reports come in
from the town, it will doubtless be
shown that the storm is the worst stree
the flood OF 1896 fifteen years ago.
The hail piled upon the ground an
inch deep. Several stones measured
five inches in circumference. It is
believed that gardens have been ruin
ed in places and growing crops have
no doubt been seriously damaged.
The Stanton Dispatch and News,
morning paper, got out an extra
edition this afternoon. 1t wss prob.
ably the first Sunday extra afternoon
edition ever printed iu Staunton.

TO THE VOTERS OF SHEN. COUNTY:

ton, l announce myself candidate

If elected pledge my undivided at
tention to the duties of the office.
] most earnestly solicit the support OF
the voters of the county at the election,
and to my republican friends who
voted against County Treasurers sue
ceedipg themselves more than one
time. | desire to say that, if it should
be the pleasure of the people of this
county to elect me for eight years, il
shall not require an election to re-
move me, as | will gracefully retire
satisfied and thank you for your sup
port for the two terms. thereby giving
some other meritorious citizen a
chance for said Office.
do not believe that one individual
or one set of individuals should be
permitted to hold office forever to the
exclusion of all individuals.
That the people of this county be-
iieve treasGrers should not hold Office
more than eight years, is shown by
the election OF November. 1910, when
out of a vote of l600-1200 voted
against more than two terms in office
Being willing to stand or fall by this
policy, | again solicit the support of
all who believe with me in this matter
Your favorable support means that
all men shall have an equal chance
for political distinction. While your
vote against this policy means, that
the Office holding class shall perpetu-
ate themselves forever, as against all
other classes. Which is right? An
swer at the polls.
Yours respectfully,

RENEDIcTION.

Ia response to Capt. Grabill's
beautiful tribute to the "Lone Sent
incl of the battle fields of Fishers
Hill, Cedar Creek and Kernstown,'
which has rendered the fame of this
soldier immortal, Mrs Williams,
knowing how implicitly she could rely
upon the support of her chapter,
promptly took up the work of marking
this grave, and wrote to Slower Cam I
Chapter of Strasburg asking that ii
would cooperate and that they would
jointly put up suitable memorial
A prompt reply came ir time to be
reported in the Memorial Exercises oil
Saturday last. Slower Camp ex.

as being heartily in sympathy witt
the move and stated it would CO.
operate with Shenandoah Chapter, ir

One of the most interesting features
OF the procession was the Unusual
number of children-the flower bearers
DR.. Smoot with his large passenger
automobile generously provided foo
the Daughters on this occasion. Mr..
Nlcodemus had an accident to his
large auto, which prevented the ad.
dition of his to the procession. To
Messrs. P. S. Magruder, F. Spiker,
W. Gearing, M. B. Wunder, Fl. B.
Chapman the chapter is also indebted
for valuable assistance.
The instrumental music rendered by
Messrs. Spiker, Bargelt, Shaffer,
Miller and Skyles, was an unusual
and beautiful contrl button, and their
support to the singing was Invaluable,
last not least the address of DR.. Nc
Gill the Confederate chaplain

FOR CLERK.

FOh CLEnh.
To THE VOTERS OF SHENANDOAH
COUNTY -
A few years ago you we're induced
and persuaded by number of our
mutual friends-with such aid as
could give them, to choose and try me
as your County Clerk during this
short term-the shortest provided for
by the present constitution.
Even with my previous knowledge of
she office, it was hardly to be expected
that would be able, in this short
period of probation, to measure up to
a high standard proficiency, but my
conscientious efforts to perform the
exacting duties of the Office faithfully.
fmpartially and in an acceptable man
ner, and thereby show my apprecia-
ton of your confidence, have been met
with such kind indulgence and con-
sideration by all, without regard to
their politics, that have not only en-
loved being in a position where |
could serve them, but have been led
to hope that your action will be rati-
fed and confirmed by re-electing me
next November for the coming full
term. Very respectfully,
MARK B. WUNDER.

THE ROSE OF OMAR
 DEPICTED ON CANVAS

A painting which is a revelation of what may be done when a relatively unprac- ticed hand is guided by the mind of a true poet has been shown recently in New York, and was seen by former Bir- mingham woman who Is a lover of the "Rubiayat." It is called the Rose of Omar and is MT. Robert Wilson's con- ception of the lines, T sometimes think where some buried Caesar bled." MT. Will son is not an artist, from the academic standpoint, never having been trained, but he has the poets love of the beautiful. for he has written many verses, and by birth may have inherited the poets fire, for he is a relative of Robbie Burns"
 The Birmingham matron wrote very en- thusiastically of his composition which she thinks is admirably done, though it was guided by inspiration rather than by the set formulae which painters learn. Tn the center of the painting she says, lis tomp, on which is the commanding statue of a proud Roman ruler. Leaning over the crumbling marble are the rose bushes with their deep red blooms, and massed back of the tomb are fir trees rising in a tall, graceful mass, which lends dignity and repose to the compost ton. A spell of illusion and mysticism is thrown by the soft light resting upon the mellowed marble in the foreground, and there are surrounding fields dirhmed by q soft haze. The dReamy poetic at mosphere of the entire picture Is charm ing. It was one of the most interesting pictures in the exhibition"

 This interesting event was scheduled for the late winter, but the young sweethearts grew weary of delay and de- oided to surprise their friends. The we'd ding, though strictly private, hastily ar- ranged, and attended only by the immedi- ale family of the bride and the groom 8 best man. lacked none of the pleasant de- tails that characterize such occasions.
 MT. Stuart has but recently become a citizen of Birmingham. He was trans ferred from the Jackson, Miss, office of the New York Life Insurance company to the Birmingham office as assistant cash fer Despite his youth Che has scarcely attained his majority, he is well and fevorably known in insurance circles in Mississippi, of which state he is native. His family is among the best known of Hines county.
 His young bride has been a resident of Birmingham less than "a year, but has drawn to her large circle of friends She also came from Jackson, where most of her girlhood was spent. She is highly connected and very popular. Mrs. Stuart is the daughter of MT. H. D. Lowd well known newspaper man, formerly of Washington, D.
