Struck By Lightning.

Yesterday morning between and 7
o'clock a modest sort Of thunder storm
rolled up from the west, and after a
few flashes of lightning and peals of
thunder and about forty drops OF rain
passed on. One Of the lightning
strokes, however, struck hard blow at
c. D. Scully's place, north OF town. II
hit the dwelling at one corner and
knocked big hole in it, tearing off the
Misunderstanding and scattering the
plastering in every direction. Fortu-
nately Mrs. Scully and the children
were down stairs, and aside from a
rather severe shock, were not injured.
They are thankful, too, that the house
was not set afire, for il had a very close
call, mattress in the room that wa.
struck being scorched.

ONLY TRAINED
SOLDIERS TO Be
SHIPPED ACROSS
New Recruits to Receive Six
Months Training in u. S.
Befoxe Going Over.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.--Only sea-
soned men. trained at least six months
on American soil, are to be sent to
France under a new program being
worked out by the war department.
Enlargement Of several canton
ments to accommodate thousands Of
additional men Is part of this plan.
The present practice Of rushing troops
across with only three weeks or more
training Is to be abolished now that
fighting force of considerable
strength has been placed on the allied
lines.
Until the first million men were
landed this government. desired speed
above anything and men were hurried
across almost as soon as they had
been fitted out with uniforms and
equipment. No unseasoned men were
placed in the fighting line, however.
military officials working on the theo-
ry that men can be trained faster with
in the lighting zone than at home.
With more than one million men in
France, facilities are becoming more
burdened and there is little room for
unframed troops.
Under the new policy. draftees will
be put through an intensive six
months training course the unfit
weeded out and the remaining fighting
men sent across for short finishing
of behind the lines. At present less
than half of the one million men
abroad are on the fighting line, many
OF them still being In training.
