HAb A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman Uncon-
scious and She Died From
Fright.

During Il thunderstorm at Newton.
n. j., a woman who Through all her
life of fifty years had felt IL nervous
dread of lightning" became uncon-
sciouS from fright and died.
Cannot the multitudes of otherwise
rational people who are obsessed by
the same dread take counsel of the
fate of his unfortunate and allay
theif fears? asks the New York World.
They suffer an access of terror in
every thunderstorm, and in effect UNI
defSo the agony of death many times.
Yet there are few other forms of
death so painless or SO remote. In
1912 In the whole country only 243 per-
sons were killed by lightning. of whom
mainly feel this fear, should be an
coufaged by their greater immunity.
But, in fact, twice as many people
are burned to death i'm conflagrations
In a year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning is as 354
to /.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the

nbie exit from this world with philos-
ophy should be ready to accept IL light
ming stroke as an end as easy as any
other. 1t is too instantaneous to adj
init of physical sensation, while the
fearridden T. assured that if the
flash is seen the sufferer is safe.

sOC!ALISTIC DREAM OF
GOMPERS FUTILE. CLAIM
(Ry Mail.1

(6N Mdil.)
The HaSuc-"If the International Social.
list bureau has not as yet succeeded in
bringing the .Austro-Germa and alice
socialists together. President Samue.
t;ofnpers. of the American Federation OF
Labor. certainly could not accomplish the
task says Camille Huysmans, secretary
of the international Socialist bureau, to 3
correspondent of the Associated Press, H.
answer to a proposal of Mr.. Gompers tG
hold a world labor conference during the
progress of the peace conference following
the war.
Mr.. Huys4nans pointed out that any ~.
ternational conference without the partici-
patton of the British and French socialists
would be entirely lacking in influence.
He decla red his belief that Mr.. Gompe.s'
proposal at present is impracticable. and
ne deprecated the idea of the American
or international trade union organizations
~trespassing on the political domain of the
socialist international bureau. He de-
clared that such a conference would have
to be held under the auspices of the lat
ter organization. and naturally he would
approve Of such a congress if the British
and French We're willing to participate.
The socialists constitute the center OF
gravity in the matter of influencing the
war and when they are ready to act Mr.,
Euysmans declared, "a congress should
conference" He believes, however. that
.he war will continue until next year, CON
sidering the great obstacles to peace that
are apparent at present.
The Dutch socialist organ, Het Voik, ap-
plauds Mr.. Gompers' idea, but doubts the
practicability of such a plan save under
the auspices of the socialist i~nternational
bureau. 1t asks whether he Is acting after
German International Trade Union alli-
ance. who might regard 1t as undesirable
to advocate the plan himself for compre-
hensible reasons

WESTERN CANADA
Co. Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first IN
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association. reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows Il great in
crease i'm the butter production OF tho
cooperative crealnerieS amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the inn
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out OF he province for the Year to-
taled 80 carloads.
According TO bulletin just issued by
| the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture. the dairy industry had Il very
! successful year i'm 1915. There was an
increase of over 10000 o lbs. of cream
ary butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
.rease in dairy butter and over 25,OOO
| lbs. increase i'm the cheese output. The
increase of the total value of milk and
milk products was owe $427, 600. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
.oba during The year was 4,15O.444 lbs.
and it brought an average price of 23c
per lb.; of creamery butter 5,S39,667
lbs. We're produced which commanded
29c per lib. on the average; cheese pro-
auction was 726, 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as s .76O.69S. in addition to which the
milk produced is valued mt ~ $50

per lib. butter-fat. In connection with
| he dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 1870, 1872
IONS. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193.357 tom and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1885 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
Is given as G31 COS. which is an in
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
CardstOn, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid it's patrons n rate of 27hc per
l. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming Over all expenses of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61,117 and manu-
featured 256,OOO lbs. butter and 10000
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 1914 cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is we'll indi-
Gated by the growth of u prominent
dairy business here. which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525,OO0 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts of Canada and his year will en-

MAD COYOTE ATTACKS
ROWLAND RANCHER

As everyone is interested in ae-
counts of rabid coyotes, | am TAX
ing the liberty of seding you an ae-
count of an incident here in Row
land. writes j. B. Scott in the Elko
Free Press.
Last Saturday evening our atten-
ton was attracted by the doss fight
ing out in the yard, and by their
yelps We knew that one had bean
bitten. Or going out to investigate
we found them fighting with a big
coyote, which on seeing the men,
broke away from the dogs and made
a dash for us. Dick Vignalo mar
rowly escaped benig caught by the
maddened animal and just had time
to rush into the house, and when he
closed the door the coyote hurled
himself against it. BY the time the
boys had secured their guns, the big
st. Bernard dog belonging to j. b.
Scott. had come around the house
and tackled the coyote and u him
off into the hills. In about an hour
the dog returned, tired and muddy,
his legs badly chewed up and his
head all covered with blood. 1t was
thought that the dog had chased the
coyote, caught it and killed 1t in a
fight. One of the other dogs, be-
longing 10 NJ. Scott. was also badly
bitten. Mr.. Vignalo was rather ner-
vous over his rather narrow escape.
/ The following evening the dogs
were killed and it was no small loss,
as the dogs were valuable. the st.
| Bernard being valued at 800.
About two months ago a crowd OF
men we're down at the corral work
ing cattle. Tony Scott was sitting
on the fence watching the men rope
a steer when he was nipped on the
leg. Thinking it was one of the dogs
he turned around to scold 1t, Wnen
he saw a big coyote making ready
to take another bite out of his leg.
The way he tumbled off at the fence
and made a run for The house can
better be imagined than described.
| When Tony yelled the rest of the
men climbed on top of the stable

raj and began chasing the cows but
before it could bite any of them one

scene, shot the ~maddened animal

fenced to death in Arizona for the
murder of j. Harrell. an acquain-
lance with whom he was out hunt
ing, will not die on the gallows. The
Arizona board of pardons and paroles
have committed his punishment from
death to Imprisonment for life. This
was the result of a most solicitous
and untiring endeavor on the part
of his aged mother and other rela-
tives to secure affidayits from many
persons in this state and from the
state officials. In addition, a num-
Der of kilograms and letters were
SEM to the pardon board, some at
the very last moment.

in the case will be to subject ker-
meen to an examination by alienists

Miss Bessie Shields was the first

seat gracefully, walked across the
floor leisurely with a most becoming
smile upon her face. Miss Shields,

Contests in Topeka Will
Be Begun at 3 O'clock
Sharp.

AS has been previously announced,
tomorrow's exhibition game between
Manager Lattimore's regulars and yam
nigans will be begun at PAS. The
price of admission will be rs and so
cents.
Earlier baseball throughout the sea-
son is promised the local fans by John
Savage, and many will be glad to
learn that it will be possible for them
to attend a game and get home in time
to eat their evening meal on the same
day this summer.
Beginning with the White SoX ex
hibition games next week, all contest
i'll Topeka will be called at O'Clock
sharp, and if the plan proves popular,
as it should, Savage will continue it
until the close of the season.
Late Last Season
Last season a number of games
went so far into the night that many
of the fans either had to leave before
the final score was made, or else they
had to sit through to the finish annoy
ed by the feeling that they were bust
ing up the family meal schedule and
that they would possibly have to use
, some of William Jenning Bryan's
peace arguments to avoid threaten
ing ruptures with frau and fritter
maker.
But, with o'clock games, this will
practically be eliminated. Another
advantage in earlier games is that they
will give the golf enthusiasts who do
not have to bother about family con-
VenienceS a chance to see a game of
ball and play round of golf on the
same afternoon. Ordinarily the games
will be over soon enough for any of
/ the spectators who desire to go on out
/ to the Shawnee golf course and play
a full round before it gets dark. This
would be absolutely impossible with
/ late starting baseball.
The question of accommodating the
! golf fans means quite a good deal to
! Savage and the local club as golf is
one of the greatest rivals of baseball,
and if the two games can be made to
harmonic neither will detract from
