DAMAGE IN STORMS WAKE

During the thunder storm late yes- terday afternoon, lightning struck the home of Mrs. F. A. Tinker on East Main street and did considera ble dam age before the bolt made it's exit. A hole was torn in the side of the build ing and plaster was torn from the ceiling and walls of some of the rooms. At the same time flash struck 8, trolley car standing at the center and burned out the controller. The electricity followed along wires radiating from the center and num- Der of telephones and incandescent lights were put out of commission. A bolt gouged a hole in the yard of Charles F. Mccall striking within a few feet of the barn. The motor in Mr. McCall's cafe was burned out and other electrical appliances were dam aged.
 The storm was one of the most se- were with which the town has been visited in a long time. Lightning played many pranks in various parts of the town but the most damage was done at the Tinker home In Forest vile two houses were struck and in East Bristol a barn was destroyed by fire started by the lightning.
 Limbs were torn from a number of trees and this morning some of the streets were littered with the debris.

 AS soon as the result of the ballot was made known, after o'clock, First Selectman William H. Gibney moved that it be made formal and unani- nous. The motion was seconded and carried. While the balloting was go- ing on, Moderator Deming, on a mo- tion presented, appointed the follow ing committee to bring in a slate for the other town offices to be voted upon at the coming election:
 Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, c. w. Stevens, Oscar Benson Daniel Web ster, c. J. Mueller, J. M. Taylor, George Griffith and Clarence Baldwin.
 When the result of the voting was made public, it became known that Newton Baldwin would not be a can didate for the position of second se- lectman, which he has held the past year and accordingly George Carter was given the second place. The com mittee then presented the following nominations for other offices as fol- lows:
 Tax collector Charles F. Lewis; as sessor, Carl J. Mueller; grand jurors, E. w. Mildrum, George Griffith and Herbert Goodrich; constables, John Carbo, Andrew Lawrence, Charles Bradbury and Enrico Pole; registrar Joseph J. Morse; school committee, Sidney M Cowles and Daniel Webster; finance committee, Claude w. Stevens; board of relief, Oscar Benson; audi tor, Bryan H. Atwater. The secre- tary was instructed to cast one ballot for these candidates. The meeting then adjourned.
 Always a Republican," Gibney.
 To say that the friends of William H. Gibney were shocked at the re- suit of the caucus would be putting it mildly. There was considerable discussion among them and it was finally decided to have a committee approach the defeated candidate and

fer station this week until Friday and as a result the men were day late getting their pay. The weekly round- up of drunken freight handlers was also advanced a day, the men defer ring their spree until paynight.
 Two of the celebrators got off the path leading to their place of lodging after night of revelry and they fell into the hands of Constables Mar ino and David. This morning they were arraigned before Justice A. H. Condell on intoxication charges
 One of them, Joseph Mccarthy got off with a fine of $2 and costs. The other, Francis Lord was sentenced to thirty days in jail. The latter quit his job last night that he might draw all his pay and he secured no leniency from the court. The constables had to call on bystanders for assistance to get the men to the lookup.
 Peaches Way Late.
 Owners of peach orchards in this locality are discouraged over the con- dition of this years crop and they admit the prospects of the usual profits for their investm ent and labor are not very bright
 A cold spring and numerous rains in, the early summer retarded the growth of the peaches and some specimens of the fruit which are usu- ally picked early in August are not yet ripe enough for harvesting. The fruit is not up to standard either and the demand is not as large as usual as a result.
 Plead for Suffrage
 Workers for woman suffrage who visited Plainville last night in the in- terest of the "cause' were given a courteous reception by a number of the toWnspeople who assem bled in front of the Baptist church to listen to arguments as to why dainty fenin- inity should be given the privilege of casting a ballot.
 The speakers were Mrs Cora Thompson Sage and Ralph Waldo SWetnan. During the meeting musical selections were given by the Oriole club of Collinsville.

So Says, Defeated Candidate When
 Asked to Run independently Arthur Woodruff Retired from
 School Board-Democrats Rejoice.

The old order has changed, yielding place to the new by the choosing of Judge Willard I. filling for the re- publican nominee for first selectman at the party caucus last evening. Judge filling defeated First Select man William H. Gibney by eighty one votes. This was a big surprise In view of the fact that MT. Gibneys s nomination was looked upon as cer- tain. Another surprise was that George Garter, who was mentioned as B probable nominee, polled but two votes. Those on the inside evidenced no surprise over Judge filings nom hation, because of the work done by his many friends during the past month and longer. It was not definite ly known until yesterday that MT. Gibney would run again.

Wise FOrethought

The careful business man con- serves his income and anticipates cer- tain payments by depositing ais money with a strong, safe bank; and when taxes, insurance, special as- sessments, payments on real estate, etc, fall due, he writes check for the amount.
 Regular deposits, small. perhaps, make these payments easy and cer- tain. The cancelled check, returned by the bank, affords the lest legal re- ceipt. The transaction is closed in convenient, business-like way

New Sources of Potash.
WooDLocKE.

Since the war began the supply OF potash
to this country has stopped, and the Unit
edStstes are practically without potash.
In Farm and Fireside are some interest
ing suggestions as 10 where new supply
can be obtained.
"A Florida gentleman hiss written 10
several farm papers and magazine suggest
ing that off the coast OF Florida thousand
miles or So is the Sargasso sea filed with
haif-rstted seaweed from which can be
obtained all the potash fertilizer needed in
spite OF the shut-on OF the German sup
ply. The bureau of soils expresses the
opinion that this supply is overestimated
both as to extent and amount OF potash in
it; but that the great seaweed beds in our
Pacific waters might be made to yield
plenty OF potash.
Professor Udden, Of Texas, seems to
prove that there exists a fair probability
that we have in the panhandle OF Texas
potash mines q good deal like those OF
Germany. Anyhow, several wells bored
for oil have passed through deep deposits
of potash bearing salts. Over in the great
Basin, in Arizona, Nerada and Utah, the
government geoiogists have discovered
potash deposits not very easy to get at,
and OF questionable richness. But in
Spain potash mines have recently been
found which . French technical expert
declares are not only rich enough to COM
pare favorably with the best German de-
posits, but which have the advantage OF
being more easily accessible.
'Those German deposits are rather in
accessible jusf nowl
sits rather q hard old world in which
to corner any natural product. We shall
certainly not lack for potash in future
years whether the Kaiser sells or not.n
