Indiana, Pa.-When lightning struck the home of A. L. Diehl, of Penn Run, it lifted the necklace from his daugh- ter, Belle, and drop )ed the locket hang ing from it into one of her shoes. The back of her other shoe was rut from her foot as if by knife. Ida Diehl, a sister, and Ruly Maxwell, cousin, had their hair I a-ted by the bolt and each as a streak of singed hair extend ing from their foreheads to the napes of their necks.

WEEK
Excursion and Two Entertainments
Mark Adjournment Of Cheyenne
Agency Indian School.
Last week was Festivities"
week at the Agency. Tuesday the
school children and school employ
ees and the following Agency peo-
pile who were the invited guests of
Principal Powell viz: Mrs Clark
and DR. and Mrs Stalberg, and
others, went for picnic to Island
Park-the popular Forest City
summer resort-on the Little
Cheyenne. The party boarded the
big ferryboat and steamed up the
old Muddy for mile when it stopt
and all disembarked, everybody
happy, jubilant and contented. At
about one the spread was put on
and oh, such eats! Mrs Powell was
at once voted some cook. 1t took
more than an hour to get away
with it all.
After six o'clock the Office force
came and the eating started all
over again. Then we all reem-
harked on the boat and to the
strains of beautiful music floating
down the river we finally reached
home, sweet home.
Thursday evening the school
children entertained a large audi
ence of whites and their parents.
1t is astonishing how much natural
talent is present in the children. A
better entertainment was never
seen by the writer, either Indian
or white. s'Coming thru the Rye"
was beautiful accomplishment.
But after some good singing and
talking the favorite was put on;
and it simply was beautiful, fine.
The teachers responsible for the
program certainly deserve great
credit.
On Friday evening play was
given by the Agency and school
forces, entitled 'sAll Mistake" :"

The writer not being regular
dramatic critic is of course una
BILE to give fair criticism of the
play. From the point of a mere
observer however he wishes to say
that the play as produced was the
best amateur production he has
ever seen.
Mr. Greene as the Englishman
not only acted the part, but wa s
the part. Miss Rome delivered
her part in a finished, artistic and
forcible manner. Miss Loneke, if
we hadn't known her age, we would
really have thought her to have
seen her fortysix summers, and
naturally of course SO much more
ardent in her search for a Romeo.
Mr. Powell who had only three
days in which to prepare his part,
must have stayed up nights study
ing. Asa husband recently married,
to be bereft of his wife (before he
knew how fortunate he really was)
he showed himself to advantage.
Miss, Peck was a good sob artist
and s'looked" the part. Marie
Congdon delivered some faint be-
lieve me. Instead of tesching, we
advise her to. follow up acting.
Williams oh that voice! Poor

Mr. Powell left for Pierre ac-
companied by Mrs Powell for the
purpose of consulting the State
Sup't of Schools and Attorney
General regarding the school stu
alton on the Reservation.
During the last session of the
legislature vicious, unjust and
discriminating bill was passed
which, if enforced, will
deprive the Indian chill
dren of the opportunity to at
tend public schools on and adja-
cent to the reservations. How this
bill could have been passed when
the county authorities are making
every effort to collect taxes from
the Indians is beyond our under
standing. 1t is hoped that the
AttorneyGeneral will consider
the bill unconstitutional and that
Indian children will be given the
opportunity to obtain what is
most vital to Decentralization.
Three we'll known personages
passed away during the past week.
Rome Glover who was once res
ident of this place was shot and
killed in British Columbia, Can.
He was undergoing a 2O-yr sen
ence; but from the accounts so far
received of the affair, it is not
known whether he was trying to
escape or whether he committed
suicide.
A son of Mr. Weise living north
of Gettysburg, "a years of age,
was drowned in seventeen feet of
water near or on his home place.
1t seems he was trying to 'navi-
gate, or swim, with an old trough,
the reservoir or lake having been
created by the construction of a
large dam.
Mr. Manful Sr died at the home
of his son in the vicinity Of Get
tysburg. He was one of the pio-
neers of the county.

MAJESTIC WEDDING
 MAKES A BIG HIT
Jerome Flannigan and Miss Anna Thomas Married Between Shows.
 Audience Manifests Approval

When the curtain rose between the first and secon dshows at the Majestic first and second shows at the Majestic forward and announced the contracting parties of a wedding, which was about to be performed silence reigned. The house was packed to capacity and every one set up and took notice The contracting parties were Miss Anna Thomas and Mir. Jerome Flannigan, both members of the Boyle- w oolfolk Musical Comedy com pany.
 The solemnity of tho occasion was marked by the careful attention accorded the couple during the ceremony. Judge Thomas R. Lea of the municipal court officiated. His words were listened to with bated breath by many bashful swain whose teeth chattered in anticipa- tion of the fateful day when he should stand in Mir Flannigan's boots.
 The bride was radantly beautiful in her bridal gown of white. Her matron of honor was Mrs. True Fristo of the company. MT. Flannigan's best man was MT. True Fristo. musical director of the company. Every person on the stage was dressed In evening clothes. No de- tail of the most elaborate wedding was overlooked. Flower girls in dainty white dresses, the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, everything was complete and had evident- ly been rehearsed just as all weddings are.
 After the ceremony the crowd burst
 into thunderous applause which lasted for several minutes. Mir. Flannigan passed through the audience and shook hands with every one he came to. The mem bers of the company kissed the bride. Some. or nearly all them. sobbed a bit. A floral horseshoe was dropped from the wings bearing the title of Good Luck and it was all over. Many beau- tiful presents were rendered the happy pair by their many friends and admirers and congratulations were in order. Mir. Flannigan and his bride expressed their delight over the whole affair and every one was happy. They will both continue with the le-Woolfolk company In their respective capacities the remainder of the week.
