 gard the U & expedition as nothing sending in greater force of police officers in foreign country murees custom which IS followed in a smaller scale all time by friendly nations
 The most significant facts the Mexican situation judging by i'm ron gained from outside pubcatons the attitude of Japan and m ~ about other foreign desires to prevent this from sending away munitions of war; Of course one be chary of what he reads in print especially war time world really not half alive yet to the quantity of dope" sho, systems by printed pages but it

It is announced by the Bundesrath that the advancing of time one hour in Germany will result in a vast saw ing of money, not to speak of the health benefits that will accrue to the workers, who will go to bed an hour earlier each night and get up an hour earlier than usual.
 According to economists in this city. the action of the Bundesrath was primarily taken to conserve the na- tion's resources, two of which are lighting and fuel and both of which are admittedly growing more scarce.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
LLOYD HOCkADAY
BOY HAS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE,
WHEN. BOLT OF LIGHTNING
STRIKES LOAD OF HAY.
BOY sEVERLY BURNED; WILL RECOVER
Valuable Team is instantly Killed.
M. 4 o. Train Crew Renders
Aid too Injured.

Lloyd. the tweive year old son q
Curtis Hockaday, and Mr.. F. B. KEN
yon, the tenant on the Hockaday farm
had mighty narrow. escape from
death Friday afternoon when q bolt
Of lightning struck the load Of hay
on which they were riding Il appears
that Mr.. Kenyon and Lloyd had been
working In the hay field and were
about to drive to the barn when the
storm came. While they were on their
way to the barn the bolt struck the
load, stricking the boy on one side
Of the head, and following down his
entire body. inflicting severe burns,
His hat and clothes were badly torn,
and one shoe torn from his foot. A.
this time the Manchester & Oneida
train was coming from Oneida. and
the train crew saw the man fall from
the load and the team tumble over u
a heap, and lost no time IN getting
to the injured. The boy was placed
on a cot and hurried to his home ~
this city, where he Is now making
q most encouraging recovery. For
hours Lloyd was unconscious. but re-
gained CONSEQUENCES at midnight.
Mr.. Kenyon was severely shocked
ibv the bolt but was able to resume
his work after few hours.
The two fine firm horses hitched
to the wagon were instantly killed.
entailing q heavy loss to Mr.. Hock-
aday. This loss, however is not CON
cerning Mr.. Hockaday, go long as
his son, Lloyd's lie has been
spared. It Is believed that the facts'
that Mr.. Kenyon and the boy We're
on the load Of hay is all that saved
both from instant death. Had they
been walking on the wet ground near
the wagon, there :s every reason to
believe that both would have been IN
stantly killed. &

Doctor examined him, he immed ediately

with no recognition whatsoever. But
when in between the two tho Braban-
