The lightning came down the chimney, then down the stove pipe, driving the stove through the floor, into the ground and bored a hole into the ground 20 feeL It then camo back up through the floor and bed and struck, splitting the little child's head. Mrs. Gillespie was scorch ed and knocked senseless for a while and so was Mr. Gillespie, but he recover ed in time to extinguish the fire which tho lightning had kindled and which moro than likely would have consumed tho entire house and the balance of the children as well as those who were in jured by lightning." Sad Announcement. As the Journal goes to press Tuesday evening the sad intelligence reaches us that ex-County Treasurer J. W. Early died at his residence in this city at 10 minutes of four o'clock. Our readers will remember that two weeks ago he was thrown from a buggy receiving in juries which doubtless caused his death. His death caused a great shock to his family as well as citizens generally, as it was thonght by all that he was getting along so nicely. Mr. Early's age was about forty-five years. He was a man who had many friends not only at his home here but all over the state. The street commissioner is doing most excellent work, but there is one place on Fourteenth that badly needs his immediate attention. It isn't a road, but a mud-hole and a pretty mean one. It is as bad as the saucer at Young's, but not quite so large. We can't have good roads any more unless the grade is so made as to carry off the surplus wa ter. Travel will pack dry dirt but not wet, and the highways must be high to keep dry. Grade high and drain off, gentlemen overseers as much bo as you have means to work with, and the pub lic, whom you serve, will approve your work. Robert E. Wiley thinks the action taken by the last republican county con vention with reference to appointing another man in his place as member of the central committee, was not so well considered as such matters ought to be by a party gathering. He strongly re sents the imputation cast upon him, and challenges comparison of his course as a party man with any of those who made themselves conspicuous in the conven tion against him. He does not wish to continue any strife, but he is not the sort of man to rest easy under unjust accusations.

A meeting was held at Fitzpatrick's hall Tuesday evening of last week; the meeting was called to order by Carl Kramer, who stated the object of the meeting. C. A, Speice was selected as chairman end D. F. Davis as sec'y. On motion of J. P. Becker a committee of five was appointed to act in conjunc tion with the committee of the city council to ask the board of supervisors to appoint a committee to make a thor ough investigation of the bridge matter. The committee appointed were J. P. Becker, J. H. Galley, M. H. White, Geo. Lehman, H. Oehlrich. The meeting then adjourned to Thurs day evening at which time tho report as given below was submitted and adopted. Columbus, June 14, 1888. Mr. Chairman: Your committee ap pointed to act with a like committee appointed by tho city council appeared before the board of county supervisors and informed them of the desire of the citizens of Columbus to make an inves tigation of the bank of the Loup Fork river at the point selected for the erec tion of the permanent bridgo and report as to tho practicability of constructing the said bridge at said point and also to report on any other point which in the judgment of your committee might ap pear a safer and better location for said bridge. The board of supervisors, at our re quest, at once appointed such committee to mako such examination with us and we jointly proceeded to make such ex amination as directed and horewith beg leavo to submit a copy of the report of the joint committees, which is to be submitted to the county board of su pervisors: We, your committees, to whom was referred the subject matter of selecting a location for the Loup Fork bridge and examine said matter in conjunction with a committee appointed by the city coun cil of the city of Columbus, and also with a committee appointed at a meeting of the citizens of said city hereby iu connection with the said two several committees submit the following report: We have carefully examined the south bank of the Loup river from the U. P. R. R. bridge to the location of the old wagon bridge and find said south bank wearing away almost the entire distance mentioned; at many points along said bank the wearing or washing is now going on very rapidly. The practicable place for the said bridge, as wo believe, is below and near the said U. P. R. R. bridge. We therefore recommend that the location of said bridge be fixed at a point within 500 feet and not nearer than 200 feet below the said U. P. R. R. bridgo and that the contract for the construction of said Loup Fork bridge be changed accordingly. A. W, CLARK, JOHN C. 8WAIITSLKY, Kdwabd Kxcscukb, Caul Kbamkb, Hupervisora' Committee. J. P. Dkckkb, M. II. Wuitk, J. H. Gallkv, Heiuian Ueblbicb, Citizens' Committee. ('. H. Sheldon, Chas. A. 8 thick, Louis Schukibeb, City Council Committee. George Lehman signs the above report with the understanding that it can be legally located as stated above in the report and that a permanent bridge from bank to bank can be built at the same cost as at tho location first selected. On motion of J. N. Taylor the com mittee was continued for the purpose, if necessary, of procuring right of way to the new location to the bridge in case tho location be changed. On motion, Geo. Lehman's resignation as committeeman was accepted and A. J. Arnold appointed instead. Adjourned sine die. Tho public meetings of last week indi cated a decided opinion as to a change of location for the Loup bridge, owing to the cutting away of tho banks on the south end of tho bridge as heretofore proposed. The meeting was called in good faith to meet a condition of the stream not anticipated. Somo have questioned the legality of any change in location, but certainly there must bo a way for providing that the people's money shall not be placed in a bridge located contrary to common sense and where it would be very apt, in a short time, to be of little benefit. By all means place the bridge where it will do the most good for the longest time. R. E. Wiley was in the city Saturday, having come down with his bond as Justice of the Peace. In speaking of tho storm of Tuesday night of last week, he says it struck their section about 10 o'clock. The wind had been blowing a gale from the south when it suddenly shifted and came from the west, catch ing a good many wind mills before they could get square around. He gave us the following, some of which he person ally knows and some was reported to him: James Baker had a wind mill blown down, also John Keeler, Oliver Risher, the H. H. Eyeman farm, one, J. H. Watts, Swan Nelson, Robert Gilles pie, Ed. Hoar and Samuel Mahood. Els Perdne's dwelling was moved a foot off its foundation, Mr. Pollard's house the same, John Keeler's new dwelling, just being built, was badly wrecked; it is ru mored that some damage was done to J. H. Watts's fine, large barn. On Mon day night lightning struck and killed a horse belonging to David Jenkinson. That New Book.
