Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 1863 peO-
pie in the whole country. Ones chances
of death by lightning are less than two
in a million. The chance Of death from
liver. kidney or stomach trouble is vast
ly greater, but not il Electric Bitters be
used. as Robert Madsen, of West Bur-
lington. Ia, proved. Four doctors gave
him up after eight months Of suffering
from virulent liver trouble and yellow
jaundice. He was then completely cur
ed by Electric Bitters. They're the best
stomach, liver, nerve and kidney reme-
dy and blood purifier on earth. Only soc

Dir. j. w. Barnes of Lake Charles,
state organizer Of the socialist
party, lectured in the Bienvenu
Theatre, Sunday afternoon to a
good sized audience. Sometime
ago there was such dissatisfaction
with the present administration
that socialist organization was
effected here with a pretty large
membership, but at the present
time, wa believe they have all been
forced to register as democrats in
order to nave a voice in the next
and but very remain as
socialists.

Due to the fact that a large
number of small boys, particular
ly large number of turbulent ne
gro boys who we're in town late
during the night and creating oil
kinds of mischief, decided the
town authorities to adopt an Or
dinancs prohibiting children un.
der sixteen years of ago to bs out
after dark. Some of the white
boys are said to have been tam
pering with electric light wires,
which is q very dangerous prac-
tice, as the cutting of the wires
may bring q heavy charge Of elec-
tricity upon tho wires carrying a
light charge and the telephone
wires, sndaDgsring life and pro-
perty. Complaints have been gen-
eral for the last two years against
the horde of small negroes who
are always upon the sidewalks of
the town making themselves a
nuisance by their wild plays and
noise, not only during the night,
but all tho time.

SCORES TURNED AWAY.
Great Crush to Hear the Trial of Eve
Iyn Arthur See.

Chicago, June ga long line of peo-
pie, school girls, boys, and women,
young and middle aged, struggled for
an hour today to get into the court
room when the trial Of Evelyn Arthur
See, founder OF the absolute life" cult,
charged with alb 1uction, was resumed
Scores were turned away unable to
find space in the room. After a storm
of protests by Sees counsel manu-
scripts of two of Sees books contain
ing the history of the cult, one of them
written in Jail, were admitted as evil
dence.
Mrs. Lucille NJ. Bridges, wife of the
chief witness and mother of the girl,
for whose alleged abduction See is be-
ing tried, filed an answer to the di-
vorce suit recently begun by her hus-
band in which charges of undue in
timacy with See were contained.
Bridges left his wife soon after the ex
posture of the See cult and the SUISSE
quent indictment of See
Prosecutor Durham then read into
the record a number of extracts from
Sees books. In one passage See wrote
Il am he, who it was announced
would come to lead you unto Him
whom all men seek. am now supreme
who sent me-" The defense tried to
show that the extracts had not been
written by See but by a spirit which
had See for its amanuensis- The prose
cutter read many pages through which
See claimed to be a divine agent for
the purpose of purifying the world and
creating new race of men and wo-
men, all to be physically and spiritual
" perfect.
Further on, Prosecutor Rurnham
quoting See, showed that Mildred
Bridges was called his chosen one, his
treasure and the idol of his heart
Her mother was highly praised for
giving her to him and promised the
greatest glory in the next world.
Mildred was spoken of as The
Highest in this Body" as containing
all the virtues, all the strength of the
strength Of all, the sweetness of the
sweetness of all, the gentle grace Of
the gentle grace OF all, the queen
among woman, the wife of the Lord
the wife of Sees spirit and other
equally glowing terms. She was, the

SLUGGED BY A THUG.
w. F. GasI1ins Nearly BIeeds to Death
as a Result.

Intent on nothing more than a spree,
William F. Gaskins, a dyer for the To-
peka laundry who lives at 116 East Thir-
teenth street, was sIugged and almost
killed by negro thug in or near the
Bee Adams place at the corner Of Mad
ison and Crane streets about II 80 O'Clock
last night.
One blow on the left jaw seems to have
been the only blow struck. Whether it
was with his fist or slung shot, Gaskins
has no definite recollection today but he
says a very large negro delivered it. A
molar Of the lower Jaw was driven into
the gum and severed a vein from which
the blood poured for two hours before it
could be stopped Gaskins became I'M
conscious from the loss of blood and was
expected to die.
He was found by William Butler, depot
master at the Santa Fe, who lives at 304
Madison street. Gaskins had staggered
and, being acquainted with Butler, made
his way onto his friends porch.
Il heard some one calling my name, so
got out of bed and went down to see
who it was" said Butler. ''It was then
nearly II o'clock I found Gaskins sitting
in a rocking chair on the porch. He was
conscious and could hold himself up but
seemed in a very bad way. He was bleed
ing from the mouth and I took him into
the house to wash the blood from his
face. / called cab to take him home
and while it was coming, he soaked UP
a towel with his blood. He was intoxi-
Gated and weak but was able to get into
the carriage with assistance

loss of blood but he is better this after

APPLES ARE NOT so BAD.
Francis Gob1e, Leaverworth Man
Says Crop Isn't Badly Damaged.

According to Francis Goble Of Leav-
enworth, one of the biggest apple grow
ers in Kansas, and an authority on the
subject, the Kansas apple crop is hurt
less by the dry weather than the other
states.
In speaking of the situation, both To-
cal ard general Mr.. Goble said:
THE drouth has hurt in a material
way all growing vegetab les and nearly
all kinds of fruits. Wheat is almost cus
and the shocks stand sparsely in the
fields. The straw is short. There are
only two grains to the mesh and those
are not fully developed. The clover crop
is very meager. the first cutting OF al
falfa short and pastures are dry enough
to burn. In many places water for stock
is scarce
THE strawberry crop was reduced 20
one-third the normal yield. Raspberrfes
and blackberries may do well with
moisture. Peaches and plums will not
make enough of a crop to be taken into
consideration. The grape crop probably
will be good

Lewis today issued an crder in which
he finds that the schedule of rates
filed in Kansas by the fire insurance
