WNDHAM BARN STRUCK
Lightning Ziszags About Old MouIton ProPerty on Zion HiII-cattIe and Horses Saved.

Although Thursdays storm was very severe in this city Windham seems to have borne the brunt of it The lightning struck in two or three places in that locality. Where the most damage was done was the old Moulton property, situated on Zion Hill, now owned by William Higgen son of New York. It was about 4.25 The lightning struck the cupoIa, of the barn unknown to two men who were working on the inside. Some neigh bors who saw the blaze hastened to the barn and notified the men. who with the assistance of the several peo- ple that had gathered there, got out all the cattle and horses in the barn. A shed standing near by which con- tained farming implements and wag- ons was the next place to which the men directed their efforts and they were able to save the building In the meantime they had removed the con- tents of the structure as a precaution- ary measure. The hay which was in the barn was about one-half of this seasons crop and was burning up to a late hour Thursday evening. MT. Higgenson was notified by telegraph of his loss. He is expected here seen to adjust his loss.

evening by Dr. Paul R. Stillman, of New York City, before the National Dental Association. The operation is said to be highly efficient and satis- factory and it's sponsors regard it as a triumph in modern dental surgery, he said.
 ''Pyorrhea," said pr. StiIIman, lis g degenerative process, due to impov- erishment of the alveolus-or bony socket of the tooth-thus making it more susceptible to infection. The disease is not of inf1ammatory origin, as has been supposed; consequently, we should stimulate nutrition to the supporting structures of the teeth the lymphatic and blood suppIy-so that these structures will develop greater resistance to subsequent at- Jacks of pyorrhea."
 Dr. StiIlman gave it as his opinion that by united. efforts of the dental profession in adopting proper opera t1ons and treatment and by educating the public concerning it's cause and prevention, pyorrhea could be largely eliminated. He urged a campaign to educate both the profession and the public concerning the proper treat ment of pyorrhea. with a view to con- trolling the ravages of this disease, which is said to be claiming thousands of victims annually.

HOLLAND PREPARING FOR
 ECONOMIC WORLD sTRUGG
A Special Commercial Envoy Has Been
 Appointed.

The Hague, Netherlands, July 28.- Holland is anticipating and preparing for great economic world struggle after the war. It is publicly urged that she must be on her guard against an overwhelming foreign invasion, par ticularly from Germany, which, even before the war, wielded an almost pre- dominant influence in sever spheres of Dutch life. At the same time, the commercial and industrial princes of the Netherlands cherish the hope that in some respects peace may bring thm specially favorable opportunities in new and valuable markets.
 From either point of view it is de- manded that Holland shall economical ly arm herself while there is yet time, particularly emphasizing the import ance of an improved foreign intelIi- gence service. The result is that a special commercial envoy has already been charged with investigation in Russia, and a bill has not been intro duced by Dr. John London, the Min lster Of Foreign Affairs, to vote money for an extension of the Dutch econo- mic intelligence service abroad.
 Dr. London proposes to make the service more mobile by enabling the professional consuls. to travel far mora axtRnsizely g1n@ theirroonsular 7 distnirtz

OF CHINA
 HAD SIXTEEN WIVES
35 Trains Were Required to Transport
 His Family and Possessions.

Picking, July 28.-Thirty- trains were required to carry Yuan Shi-kai's family and their possessions from Pe- king to the Yuan Shi-Kai home at Changtefu. The late president was known to have sixteen wives and it has been reported that the number was even greater. One paper is responsible for the statement that in addition to his first wife, who is the legal wife under the Chinese laws, the late pres ldent had twenty-siX others. Upon the birth Of a son to one a few months ago, it was officially announced that Yuan Sha-Kai was the father of thir- ty-one children, sixteen sons and fif- teen daughters.
 Ever since Yuan Shi-Kai's death on June 6, his family have been sending their effects to thei rsouthern home which will be their permanent resi- dence. Train loads of furniture trunks and curios of all sorts were moved from the palace grounds in the imperial city. A constant stream of two wheel Picking carts has been haul ing these possessions to the railway station.
 Revolutionists' papers have com plained bitterly of the manner in which the Yuan family stripped the palace of curios. It has been charged that the action of the Wi wives -('- and and children of Yuan Shi-Kai was nothing short Of footing, as many of the curios they took were clearly government property, and should not have been re- moved from the palace.
 Many reports have been printed con- corning violent rows in which the old CT sons of Yuan Sllt-Kai engaged con- cernlng the division of their fathers property. Yuan Ko-ting, the eldest son, who is now thirty eight, and sev- eral of the other grown-up sons had decided differences as to the medical treatment which the late father should have, and are reported to have en- gagged in violent quarrels while he was lying at the point of death.
 Many strange Tutnors concerning the various wives of the late president have been circulated among the super sitious and ignorant Chinese since Yu- an-Shi-Kafs death. One rumor, which gained general circulation, but s not credited by foreigners. is, that the. sec

The severe thunder storm that start ed in about 4.30 Thursday afternoon did considerable damage in this city A number of electric lights were put out of commission, soon after the storm started.
 The sharpest flash of lightning struck the steeple of the Baptist church which is located in the center of the city. The bolt struck on the north side of the steeple near the top and came out the south side, near the base, ripping off a good deal of wood which fell to the street The interior of the church was unharmed except for the electric lights service which was disabled. It was stated that the damage done to the steeple will about equal that done to it iS the same way four or five years ago, when a new steeple was put on in place of the one struck.
