college work this summer.
Foster graduated from the Placer
county high school in 1908. He will

Foster is in every way worthy of the
honor bestowed upon him by the Uni

will find that they made no mistake in
the appointment. He has always been
a hard worker at school and as a result
at all times ranked among the very best
students. He is a young man of ster-
ling character and high ideals, and may
be depended upon in making good in
whatever he undertakes.
Another honor captured by Douglas
Foster is the appointment of captain of
the university cadets. This is an honor
seldom conferred upon a student until

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE is
DONE IN DAY COUNTY
LOSSES IN MONDAYS STORM
Five Horses Reported Killed-A
House Burned to the Ground
and Many Minor Cases of
Chimneys Destroyed
Heavy Rain Follows

Last Monday evening Day county was
visited by a very were electrical storm
which was followed by a heavy rain.
The latter was very much needed and
highly appreciated.
After the storm has passed Webster
it was learned over the telephone that
Gus Redetske, who resides eight miles
southeast of the city, had lost four
splendid large horses by electricity. He
was fortunate in a way that he had his
stock insured. Of course there will. be
no compensation for the time and trouble
it will take to look up others to fill
their places on the farm.
Another large farm horse is reported
to have been killed for Herman Prieb,
who lives about five miles southeast of
Webster, We did not learn whether
there was any insurance or not.
Thu residence of Frank Block in
Granville, sixteen miles northeast of
here, was struck by a bolt of lightning
during the same storm and set or fire,
and despite the efforts of all was burned
to the ground. The house was valued
at 81, 200 and was a total loss. None of
our informants learned whether it was
insured or not.
We heard of several chimneys that
were struck, also two or three outbuild-
ings but in every instance the fire was
extinguished before any considerable
damage was done.

1t is just to facilitate these matters
that the business men of Webster every
few years go out of their way, put forth
lots of energy and effort and spend a
great deal of money to get up a proper
celebration which can be participated
in and enjoyed by all who will accept
the hospitality of the county seat of
Day county on that day, come with all
their exuberance of patriotism and good
feeling and share among a throng bent
alone upon having just the finest kind
of an old fashioned Fourth of July
celebration for two whole days. Those
who have attended the celebrations given
by Webster in the past will need to see
no hand bills or have any urging because
the past celebrations have proven that
none are given which excel Webster.
This year the committee has been at
work for weeks and have secured a
large number of the very best horses
in the northwest; the sheds and grounds
at the race have been put in fine condi-
ton and the promoters now have some
expert race track men at work upon
the half mile track and are bound to
have it in first-class condition for the
events of those two days. We have not
seen the program but are assured that
when it is completed it will comprise
trotting, pacing and running races and
some splendid purses as there are to be
a few races in which side bets have
already been made by the owners and
drivers.
There will be all the other novelty
races usual on such occasions.
Fast base ball will be arranged-at
least one game each day.
The usual street attractions familiar
at all celebrations and many new and
novel features which the committee
have secured at no little expense.
There will be music, speaking, sing
ing, dancing, merry-go-round, bowery,
fire works and all that ever has went in
a celebration and a whole lot never
before heard or dreamed of. Get your
work in shape to spend both days with
