Lightning Struck Mourners.

West Bend, Wis, Aug. 7.-Mourn-
ing for Phillip Brissel, whose body
lay in a coffin before the altar of St.
Johns Evangelical church at Kohl
Vile, Mrs. Henry Conrad was struck
dead and four other women rendered
unconscious when a bolt of lightning
pierced the house of worship yester-
day. Rev. John Frank was just open
ing his mouth to begin his sermon
when a vivid flash of flame and deaf
ening crash seemed to paralyze for a
second the entire congregation.
The pastors words of compassion
for the sorrowing family were never
uttered. Mrs. Conrad and dozen
other women were knocked PROSTATE
on the floor, while near them were a
dozen others, shrieking in terror, al
most precipitating panic, which
coolheaded men prevented.

Imprisoned in Cage.

Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 7.-Impris'
oned in a cage with pair of hyenas,
and bitten and scratched until his
body was mass of cuts and con-
tusions, was the experience of five
year-old boy, named Jenere, accord
ing to charges made to-day by States
Attorney Dem. The child's foster
parents, James J. Johnston and wife
have been jailed 1t is declared the
child was exhibited by carnival
company in the cage Of ''grave rob-
bers."
When the boy was 18 months old
his father, whose name was Jenere,
placed him in an orphanage in Oma-
ha. Later the Johnstons secured
possession of him.
The real mother of the boy, who
is now Mrs. Henry N. Weakley, OF
Omaha, learned of her child's pre-
dicament and started proceedings to
take him from the Johnstons.

Her Modesty May Kill Her.

Allentown, Pa, Aug. 4.-Because
she was too modest to permit the
cauterization of her thigh, Mrs. Mil
lie Vosek, a young woman of this
city, will probably die from the ef-
fects of rabies.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Vosek,
while on her way home, was attack
ed by a neighbor's vicious bulldog,
which bit her in the left leg near
the hip. Being of a sensitive nature,
she forbade her husband to call in a
doctor, but applied simple home
remedies. In a few days, however,
the limb began to swell and physi-
clan was then summoned. When the
circumstances were explained he
advised an operation, but the woman
declared that she would rather die
than expose the wounded limb in the
presence of a doctor. Since then she
has repeatedly declined sugical at
tention.
DR.. C. D. Schaeffer, chief surgeon
of the hospital, said that all women
were naturally timid in matters OF
that kind, but in all his experience,
which embraces hundreds of opera
tions, he had never witnessed case
where the patient would rather die
than sacrifice her modesty.

Hitched Wife With Mules.

Kansas City, Aug. 4.-After her
husband had hitched her to harrow
beside a team of mules and driven
her around a cornf1eld, Mrs. Lafay-
cite Choate, wife of farmer near
Birmingham, Mo-, appealed to the
juvenile court here for the custody
of her two boys.
She said Choate tied her hands be-
hind her and drove her four times
around the field hitched with the
mules. When she stumbled and fell
he beat her with a club. Asked by
the court why she did not prosecute
her husband, she replied that she
would not because he was the father
of her children. The court gave the
children to her, and provided that
they be sent to the Institutional
Church until she could give them a
home.

DOGS FOR AFRICAN HUNT.
Paul Rainey is Going to Try Them
Against Lions.

Thirty-three bear hounds were
shipped from London on June 20, for
east Africa for Paul J. Rainey, an
American who had set out after lions
with the avowed determination OF
outdoing the Roosevelt expedition In
to the same part of the country. In
addition to the bear hounds the Lon
don agency has shipped Is fox ter
riers. The bigger dogs are to be
used in the lion hunts. What use
Mr.. Rainey finds for the little terriers
is not known at the Office Of the for
warding agents.
The main objective field of the
Rainey expedition is the Golbo plains,
far to the north of where Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt went, and a much
more hazardous place, as the elephant
is numerous there and ferocious.
Rainey has with him a photographer
and taxidermist. According to Jno.
Martini, interested In African nunt-
ing, there are over 40 parties In the
field now from America organized by
a single London agency. How many
more American expeditions have been
outftted by other London agencies
is not known. There has been a
boom in the African hunting business
as q result of the advertising the
Roosevelt hunt gave to the sport.

TIM. "Col. Roosevelt was in a good
country. but this Mr.. Rainey has gone
to the pick of the continent. He will
get into the thick of 1t inside OF 80

days. The lion is what he is after,
but he is evidently preparing to get
away from the elephant. Hunting
has made the elephant hunter. He.
does not wait now to be hunted. As
soon as he hears an unusual noise he;
starts out to see what caused 1t.
When he finds it Is a man the ele-
phant starts fighting. It was. one
thing to hunt an intimidated elephant
10 years ago, and even five years ago..
but it is quite another thing to be
hunted by a rampaging elephant to-
day."
It costs about 1925 a week to have
really good hunt in the land where
Roosevelt hunted. This includes all
sorts of servants and big "safari," "
as a caravan is called. African big
game hunting is managed here in va
rious ways, the most common being
for the London people to pay all
bills and make a supercharge Of 10
per cent. They hire hunters, guides,
natives to carry the suppliss-water
especially-and generally organize
and outfit the expedition. The next
common way is to pay lump sum.
This varies with the region to be
hunted over. Paul Rainey Is going
into one of the medium priced dis
tricts, though the most dangerous.
He will have water all the way, which
means that he will be able to get
along without water, bearers.

JOKER IN COTTON BILL?
Congressman Prouty Claims to Have
Discovered 1t.

Washington, Aug. big gobs of
ioy are to be. seen on the faces of
Republican congressman because they
claim to have found the "joker' in
the cotton bill.
Representative Prouty of Iowa
wants the credit for this discovery,
which he exposed, he says, in a
speech on the floor day or so ago.
The gist of the charge made by
Prouty was that the bill was so
framed as to increase duties on a
large proportion of the lower priced
cotton goods. He further charged
that the bulk of these goods are made
in Southern cotton mills. He charged
Representative Underwood and the
house Democrats with making up a
cotton bill which struck at the Nor
thern cotton mills and gave a large
part of the Southern mills increas-
ed protection.
Until Mr.. Prouty called attention
to this matter it had almost entirely
escaped the attention of he house.
At the time the charges of the
Iowa member were not controverted
either by Mr.. Underwood or any one
else. Since then senators have been
scanning the house cotton bill and
some of them have come to the con-
clusion that there are increases in
the measure substantially as charged
by Prouty.. The result is that when
the bill comes before the senate the
rates on lower grades of cotton
goods are going to be scrutinized
with extreme care.
Since he brought the matter to the
attention of the house, Mr.. Prouty
has been looking into the question
farther. He has come to the con-
clusion that large part of the mills
of the South are engaged chiefly in
producing the goods on which duties
would be raised.
He charges that the Southern Dem
ocrats in the house are trying to
work a scheme that will actually in
crease Southern protection and lower
protection to Northern products. In
other words, he charges that sec
tionalism is cropping out in the re-
vision of the tariff.
If there is serious attempt made
to put a bill through the senate, with
increased duties on lower grades of
cotton goods, it will be met with
bitter opposition. In fact, such an
attempt may defeat the passage OF
any cotton bill. If it should develop
on the full threshing out of this mat
ter that Southern Democrats are try
ing to shape tariff duties in their
own interest, and are giving atten-
tion to protecting the South at the
expense of the North, the Republi-
cans will proceed to make a cam
paign issue of it. They will charge
the South with trying to do just
what New England members of con-
gress are so sharply criticised for do
ing, that is, for trying to heap high
tariffs on goods produced in their
part of the country regardless of
whether the rest of the country is
hurt.

EXPLOSION KILLS LADY
MISS MABEL G. THOMPSON is
BURNED TO DEATH.
Miss Josie Moffett Painfully Hurt and
Negro Orderly Injured in Acci-
dent at Anderson Infirmary.


Negro Orderly Injured in Acct
dent at Anderson Infirmary.
Anderson, Aug. I'm, an explo-
sion at the Anderson County hospital
this afternoon Miss Mabel Carpenter
Thompson, the superintendent, was
fatally burned, Miss Josie Moffett, of
Due West, a nurse in the hospital,
who was attracted by the report of
the explosion and who came to give
assistance was badly burned on her
hands and arms, and Charles Y.
Barnes, the hospital orderly, who
held the kerosene lamp when it ex-
ploded, received severe cash in his
head and was badly burned on his
arms, hands and face.
Miss Thompson died at S:45 to-
night.
Miss Moffett and the negro orderly
are painfully injured and are con-
fined to their beds, but they are ex-
pected to be back at their work with
in the next week or ten days.
The explosion occurred when the
orderly was pointing out to a plumb
er a defect in the kerosene lamp
that is used to heat the sterilizinz
machine. The negro pumped air
into the lamp to show where it was
leaking. Some screw about the lamp
must have been loose, for the explo-
sion followed, hurling the top of the
lamp toward Miss Thompson, who
was looking on. Practically all of
the kerosene was thrown on Miss
Thompson, and in a seconds time
she was one mass of flames. Her
face, head, arms and chest were sat-
urated with oil and before assistance
could reach her she was horribly
burned. She swallowed some of the
gas and the flames it is thought. Miss
Moffett was attracted from the ad-
joining room, and she had presence
of mind enough to gather up the car
pet off the floor and throw it around
Miss Thompson, whom she threw on
the floor and rolled over and over.
The chemical fire extinguishers
were brought into use and in few
moments the blaze was put out.
In the fight against the fire Miss
Moffett received her wounds.
The negro orderly received his
wounds when the explosion occurred,
a flying part of the lamp hitting him
on the head and the flames tapping
into his face.
Miss Thompson came to Anderson
from Dayton, Ohio, last November.
Her home was in Damascus, Ohio,
and her sister at Salem, Mass, has
been notified.
She has brother in New York but
his address is unknown. Both Of
her parents are dead. Since coming
to Anderson she had endeared her
self to all the people with whom she
had come in contact. She was about
80 years of age.
No funeral arrangements have
been determined, but it is presumed
that her body will be sent to her
home at Damascus, Ohio, for burial.
This horrible accident and sad Sc
quel are terrible blow to the hos
pital and to the people Of the city
and county. Miss Thompson yester-
day received an offer of the superin-
tendency of large Northern hospital
carrying a much larger salary than
she received here. Because she was
contented with her work and because
her work was very highly satisfac-
tory and appreciated by the people
generally she declined the offer last
night.
