VOL. 69--NO. 21 r)'i THUNDER STORMS. Annual Statlstios On the Annual Average Lois of Life and Property. Means to Be Used In Reviving Persons Struck Strikes Twice In the Sane Plaee.

Mr. J. Warren 8mlth, Director of the Weather Bureau for the Ohio sec-tion, hai furnlihed to the State Fire Marshall the following acti "Thunder storms occur when there is a very rapid condensation of moisture In a rising current of air, or a rapid condensation ue to the cooling of an upper layer of air. "It is held by most scientists that the lightning flash Is an oscillatory discharge, repeated frequently too and fro between cloud and cloud or between cloud and earth. The distance of the flash In miles Is approximately equal to one-fifth of the number of second! between the flash and the thunder.

DEATH BY LIOHTNIKU. "The number of people killed by lightning each year in the United States averages about great-er loss of life being in July. "In Ohio the average annual death rate by lightning per unit of 100,000 grlcultural laborer's te twenty-four. "Small articles of metal do not have thepower to attract lightning, but one should not stand under trees dur-ilngptbunder storms, la 'the doorways Of barns, near open windows or doors, close to cattle or horses, or near chimneys and fire places. "There is very little reason, however, -for alarm during a thunder storm er for making efforts to Insulate oneself by getting Into feather 'beds, etc.

to resuscit ate btrickes. "If you are in the vlclnity of a person who has just been struck by light ning, no matter If he appears dead, eo to work at once to try to restore remlratlon and consciousness. No matter what method of respiration is used, keep It up for at least an hour, and In the meantime maintain the heat of the body by hot flannels, bottles of hot water, warm clothing taken from bystaafiers, etc. Firmly and energetically rub the limbs upward so as to force the blood to the heart and brain. "When swallowing Is established a teaspoonful of warm water, wine, diluted whiskey or brandy, or warm coffee should be given.

Sleep should be encouraged. Send physician at once. "Lightning frequently causes a temporary paralysis of the resplra-'tory organs and the heart beat, which, If let alone, will deepen Into death, but If treated as suggested above will often result In recovery. OF PROPEETT UY LIQHTNIKG. Buildings with lightning conductors, when struck, suffer little damage compared with" those without protection.

''The functions of a lightning red two-fold: First, that of conducting the charge of electricity In the lightning stroke to the earth second, the prevention of the disruptive discharge by silently conducting the electricity out of the atmosphere Immediately surrounding the building. 'The last explains wayithere should be point on the rod'why the rod should always be well grounded, why a lightning rod is desirable, and why a rod Improperly putthp; or the connections to the wet earth'-or to running water broken'; Is-aotonly worse than 'Useless, but dangerous, "The chief defects likely to1 occur are blunted points and breaks In the connection. "Properly constructed rods are a benefit, especially for scattered buildings on hlll-sldeH or In places where there have been a number of lightning strokes. The top of the rod must be protected from rust and corrosion. Clusters of points or groups of two or three along the rldge-poleB are recommended.

Dury the earth platea in running water If possible. Lightning docs sometimes strike twice In the same place. WHERE IS IT LIKELY TO STRIKE? "If tbe liability to lightning stroke In soil of chalk formation be called 1, it Is 2 for marl, 7 for clay, 0 for sand and 23 for loam. "If the liability of the beach tree to be struck by lightning Is considered 1, then the liability of the pine is 4, of tne nr so ana oi tne oan 07." Hy. D.

Not too frequently, he is pictured effect ively and justly Infictlon by a pen that has Jhad its training In actual newspaper work the modem school of the novelist. We have a fine example of 'just thls-eort of intelligent ly vivid-character 'drawing in a new story of action, "The Fortress," by a young newspaper man, Will Leving ton Comfort. This strong, human novel appears complete In the September Issue of (Llpplncott's Magazine. Mr. 'Comfort won his spurs In tbe states, and when he left the office of the Pittsburg Despatch to go to Manchuria as war correspondent, he -was chock-full of energy and bristling with experience.

iOf course, he succeeded, and all who follow the news columns will read with fascination the spirited tale of'love and war that grew -out of this young reporters dash for 'Port Arthur. It breathes the air of ibattle. 'Its descriptions of assault, repulse, conquest and famlac are so faithfully pictorial that they form, really, a contribution to the inner history of the Russo-Japanese struggle. The peculiar romance of the novel centres in the fact that three of the four leading characters are war cor-' respondeat one a loving little woman does preclse-j ly and completely just what a whole-) some and determined American girl would be expected ito do not only penetrates to Port Arthur and makes a great news "beat," ut scoops several desirable hearts into the bar gain-It is a refreshing thing to notice tnat tne power of ue newspaper press to mould sterling and sturdy character, aggressive and persevering manhood and womanhood, is so Impressively drawn in this lively novel, "Tbe Fortress." Magazine has presented -In this September Issue a work of fiction worthy of wide reading. It Is sure to create comment.

New Vienna and New Richmond Defeated By the Reds-Green- field and Carthage Gave Us A Good Drubbing.

Last Thursday Vienna again met defeat at the hands of the Reds by a score of 8 to 3. Collna, one of the best amateur pitchers around Cincinnati, was in the box for Vienna and was opposed by Pat. White, and Patsy certainly had all the best of it. Vienna had scoured the country in an attempt to secure a team that was strong enough to beat the locals, but their Inability -to do anything with Pat. White's curves after the first inning tells the story of their downfall.

Scorer Vance. New Richmond had the idea that the Reds could not repeat tbe dese so they stayed over Tuesday and took another licking. Roicoe Hughes took "Bow" Roush's Job on the inside and the best that he could do was a home run and a three bagger. Joe Day also tried to lose the ball, but the best that he could do was tbrce sacks on the longest hit yet made on the grounds. "Red" White was in the box for the locals and had the visitors guessing at all stages of the game.

HUlsboro, as usual, when "Red" Is pitching, bunched their errors with the visitors hits which accounts for three of their runs, "Pat" White played left in place of lount who was under the weather, accepting everything tbat came his way in nice style.

-Smith Rueseire "A (Poor Rela tion" vwhich will be presented at Bell's Opera fiouse next Thursday, August 31, is aTarely entertaining and sym pathetic drama which that actor neade famous. Dealing with tbe triLulatlons, misfortunes and ul timate -triumph of a poor inventor made -the victim of scoundrels, the play contains lnunite to Human na ture and appeals to tie the heart's best and noblest Impulses. Noah Vale's fatherly interest in and care for a poor waif of a boy, whom he manages to feed and clothe out of his own mearjre means, forma one of the pathetic touches of the play, which likewise abounds in many ilashcc of genial wit and humor. It has its ro mance too, though the outlook for poor Noah Is very dark, until at last he reaps the reward of hie Inventl.ve genius, and the villains who stole his designs are unmasked. Infinite amusement 1 caused by the scene ic which Noah mends the clothlEg of the, little boy.

Tne urchin, not knowing the luxury of two pairs of breeches, and the only pair he owns needing re pairs, Noah stands him Inside an empty barrel while he removes the accessary garment, mends them cjulckly, restores them to the lad, and then lifts him of the barrel in good order. Dramatic interest is sustained by the scheming villain to defraud Noah out of the big profits of his invention, and the consequent In dignities and suffering he is compell ed to endure, but in the end he circumvents the plotters, who are ex posed, and Noah conies into his rights. The play is replete with terse dia logue and witty observations and a thoroughly enjoyable presentation by a capable company Is assured. Card of Thanks. Mr.

The frail had scarcely begun to show signs of life, when disease and death fastened its fatal fangs upon her. All that medical skill and loving bands could do to administer to tbe little sufferer were of no avail thus gently the silver chord was looened, and the golden bowl broken and iRuth's spirit bade adieu to the scenes of earth and returned to the God who ave it.

Construction Work Being Rapidly PushedFour Handsome New Passenger Coaches Received Here Monday. Construction work on the Cincinnati Columbus Traction line is being pushed rapidly to completion at this end of the line and the road will be completed to the Intersection of Main and Elm streets hy first of next week. Otllclals of the road say that they will be operating cars between this city and Mllford by September 1. Four handsome new electric passenger cars to be used on the road were received here Monday. They are large and of the latest and most approved pattern and geared for a maximum speed of 05 miles an hour.

The seats arc handsomely upholstered and each car will seat sixty passengers. Every convenience of steam roads will be given passenger. The season's opening attraction at Bell's Opera House Thursday, August 31, will be that unique and genial character study, "A Poor Relation," rendered famous by that Inimitable comedian, Sol. Smith Russell. Nothing else that Mr.

Russell ever did In a field of eccentric Impersonations peculiarly his own, so endeared him to the public as his delineation of Noah Vale, the poor inwntur whose heart was as big as bis body even though his purse was empty, cheated as he was out of the fruits of his labor. The love of Noah for the little boy, whom he befriends, is the tender and pathetic feature of the play enlivened as it is, by the humorous incidents cnaracterizing the scenes between the two of these situations, the most amusing is that in which Noah Vale deposits the boy in an empty barrel and removes the lad's trousers In order to sew buttons on the garment, without shocking the little fellow's sense of modesty or that of the spectators either. The story of the drama dealing with the theft by the villain of the Inventor's plans of a mechanical design, destined eentu-ally to make him wealthy, Is skillfully and absorbingly told. Romance Is woven Into the tale, which ends happily with the ultimate recovery of the stolen designs, and tbe final triumph of Noah Vale, who realizes the good fortune his own brains and Inventive genius have earned and who wins the girl he loves. Start In with the opening attraction.

Good pat ronage assists the manager in securing good attractions. SHARPSVILLE. August 21, 1005. Several of the church members from this place attended camp meeting at Dodsouvllle Sunday. Miss Maggie Rankin returned hnge.
