of his second distinctive novel the period when Mary Queen of Scotts secretly entered England ostensibly to seek the protection of Queen Elizabeth but, as her enemies contrived to provide, in! reality, to plot for the English throne.

A unique method was last night in troduced at the meeting- of the local Grocers association which has for its aim the promotion of good attendance of all members of the organization at all the regular meetngs which are held on the evenings of the second and last Mondays of each month. The scheme involves a drawing contest and each grocer is permitted to submit a quantity of goods at each meeting which is put up to be disposed of by chance. Everv member present at the meeting purchases a ticket which usually costs about ten cents and the articles up for disposal are then raffled off. The gross receipts received from the sale of tickets are paid to the grocer who submits the goods and the winner of the raffle gets the entire quantity of goods for the price of his ticket, 10 cents. The first time the scheme was tried was at the meeting last night.

A crate of pears was submitted by W. B. Butler. Twenty tickets were sold at ten cents each and the pears were- won by Harm Rade macher who thus received a crate of pears, containingtwo dozen boxes, for 10 cents. Besides being a scheme for increasing the attendance at the meetings, it.

also 'affords each grocer an opportunity of disposing of certain kinds of goods 'which are equal to dead stock on his shelves and which at the same time would be a good seller in some other portion of the city. The idea was enthusiastically taken up with and it is expected will have the desired effect. A proposition was recently made to the local Grocers association by the Green Bay Soap factory, giving them a reduced price on their product provided they "placed an order for 100 boxes or over. The matter was discussed at the meeting last night and after some deliberation, was decided to make the purchase. An order will be placed fromlOO boxes of the soap and the local dealers will be enabled to sell the article at 10 bars for .25 cents which could not be done were it not for the discount allowed by the factory in purchasing such large quantities.

HOMES STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Two Houses Damaged During Electric Storm Last Night. The home of C. Meyer, a farmer, and milk dealer living about one mile from the city near the Freedom road, was struck by lightning during the electric storm about 11 o'clock last night. None of the occupants of the house were injured but all of them were severely shocked. The house was badly damaged about the roof and front and the complete destruction by fire was narrowly averted.

The home of Casper Griesbach, 1066 State street, was struck by lightning about 11 o'clock last night and considerably damaged about the roof. No one was at home at the time and had the lightning set fire to the roof it is likely the entire home would have been destroyed. SECURE WATCH AND DIAMOND Burglars Enter Home of Mayor David Hammel Last Night. A diamond pin, a gold watch and a small sum of money sums up the plunder the burglars received at the home of Mayor David Hammel last night. The thieves secured entrance to the house by way of a first floor window and proceeded directly to the upper floor and to the sleeping room of Sam Hammel.

All the articles taken were from this room and were the property of Sam Hammel. Nothing else in the house was disturbed and the burglars left no possible clew by which they might later be captured by the police. Funeral Today.
