PICKED OUT ITS VICTIMS
Queer Prank Played by Lightning In
Minnesota
During a severe electrical storm
yesterday afternoon lightning did some
queer stunts about the farm home of
Peter Jordan eight miles northwest
of this city His three boys were
sitting in the barn doors two below
and one in the haymow watching
the big hailstones fall Suddenly a
bolt of lightning shot down Itshat
tered the sill on which the two boys
were located tearing big isplinters
from one end Earl the youngest lad
had his back badly burned and his
hair caught fire The other brother
was not injured in the least and was
not long in going to the relief of Earl
The lad in the hayloft received a
pretty severe shock his limbs being
numbed to such an extent that he had
to be carried into the house
A physician was at once summoned
by telephone from this city When he
arrived at the farm home he found
only the youngest boy had suffered
injury the other two having recovered
from the shock But little Earl fareu
badly Besides the painful burns his
eyesight is affected and up to a late
hour last night he could not see at
all But it is thought the boy will
not permanently lose his eyesight
A very strange thing in connection
with the freak bolt is that on one
side of the barn two horses were stand
ing in a stall and one of them was
killed On the other side of the barn
two other horses were eating hay
One of these was also killed while the
other was knocked down There was
no hay in the barn loft and no fire
ensued Vermillion Correspondence

RED TAPE OVER TWENTY CENTS
Gift to Civil Service Commission
Starts Departments Working
Can a government department re
ceive donations is the question that
has been raised by the reception at
the Washington city postoffice of an
international money order to the
credit of the civil service commission
The amount contributed or intend
ed to be contributed to the commis
sion is twenty cents but the matter
is held to involve a precedent
Accordingly the advice of the con
troller of the treasury was sought
and that official after due considera
tion decided that it would be illegal
for any branch of the government to
receive money outside its regular ap
propriations by congress but that it
would be permissible to return the
money into the treasury where it
would find its place either in the con
science fund or appropriations unpro
vided for
The controller further remarked
unofficially that the amount so gen
erously donated might on account of
its magnitude be put to such uses as
the commission decided
The latter through its custodian
turned the order over to the post
office and that institution will in its
turn endeavor to give it back to the
sender a citizen of Austria or to the
Austrian government New York

The Maidens Lament
The wind rocks the forest
The clouds gather oer
The maiden sits lonely
Beside the green shore
The breakers are dashing with might
with might
And she mingles her sighs with the
gloomy night
And her eyes are dim with tears
The earth is a desert
And broken my heart
Nor aught to my wishes
The world can impart
Thou Holy One call now thy child from
below
I have known all the joys that the world
can bestow
I have lived and have loved
In vain oh how vainly
Flows tear upon tear
Human woe never waketh
Dull deaths heavy ear
Yet say what can soothe for the sweet
vanished love
And I the Celestial will shed from above
The balm for thy breast
Let ever though vainly
Flow tear upon tear
Human woe never waketh
Dull deaths heavy ear
Yet still when the heart mourns the
sweet vanished love
No balm for its wound can descend from
above
Like loves sorrows and tears

Bankers Kindness to Mrs Grant
An incident lately made public re
veals one of the leading bankers of
Denver David H Moffat in a favor
able light Mr Moffat was formerly
the partner of the late United States
Senator Chaffee whose daughter mar
ried U S Grant Jr After Mr Chaf
fees death his estate suffered re
verses and in the panic of 1893 a
large business block in Denver a part
of Mrs Grants inheritance was
threatened with foreclosure The
amount of the mortgage was 150
000 Mr Moffat advanced the sum
needed to save the block and then
carried it along for Mrs Grant until
all danger of loss had passed Re
cently Mrs Grant sold the property
for 300000 leaving her after repay
ing Mr Moffat an equity of 150000
Many Pictures of Paul Jones
Paul Jones says a writer was
portrayed in every costume that a
pirate could be expected to masquer
ade in and his whiskers were of the
longest blackest and curliest He is
portrayed in all degrees from the sar
donic gentleman cutthroat to the
blood-and-wounds Bill Bowline type of
tar but always with as much sofa pil
low stuffing as possible One portrait
presents him in a neat militia uniform
something like that of the time of the
Mexican war and with the pattern of
whiskers afterward known to fame as
Burnsides There seems to be one
point of accuracy in all these pictures
if they are of the three quarters or full
length Jones is always represented
with a girdle full of pistols a habit of
dress to which he was accustomed

OP VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic IIo Now
Rejoices In 1erfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion
Thousands of sufferers know that tho
reason why they are irritable and de
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be
cause their food does not digest bnt how
to get rid of tho difficulty is the puzzling
question
Good digestion calls for strong diges
tive organs and strength comes from n
supply of good rich blood For this
reason Sir Baysson took Dr Williams
Pink Pills for tho euro of indigestion
They have been my best doctor ho
says I was suffering from dyspepsia
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable My sleep was
very irregular nnd my complexion wns
sallow As tho result of using eight
boxes of Dr Williams Pink Pills about
tho merits of which I learned from
friends in France I havo escaped all
these troubles and am able again to take
pleasnro in eating
A very simple story but if it had not
been for Dr Williams Pink Pills it
might havo been a tragic one When dis
comfort begins with eating fills up tho
intervals between meals with pain and
prevents sleep at night there certainly
cannot bo much plensuro in living A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time
Mr Joseph Baysson is a native of
Prance but now resides
at No 2139 Larkin street San Francisco
Cal Ho is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
Dr Williams Pink Pills in tho treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach
Xf you would get rid of nausea pain or
burning in the stomach vertigo ner
vousness insomnia or any of the other
miseries of a dyspeptic get rid of tho
weakness of the digestive organs by tho
use of Dr Williams Pink Pills They
are sold by druggists everywhere

forwarding recovery once begun and a
