LIGHTNING STRIKES DEPOT. Clover Leaf Station at Craigville Damaged During Electrical Storm. During the electrical storm Saturday morning a bolt of lightning struck a telegraph wire of the Clover Leaf

Rallyway company, near the Craigville station, six miles east of Bluffton, and following the wire Into the station set fire to the keyboard* and adjoining woodwork. But for the fact that Albert S. Abbott, the Craigville merchant, is a nearly riser, the depot would undoubtedly have been destroyed. It was about 4 o'clock and Mr. Abbott, from his home, saw the flames through the station window. Securing a hand extinguisher from his store he hurried to the station and by smashing out a pane of glass was able to direct his extinguisher onto the flames, which by this time were leaping almost to the ceiling. After the flames were under control the agent was summoned from his rooming place at the Frank Hower residence and he opened the station and the last embers of the fire were put out. The damage will not run to more than a few dollars, but it was a close call for the station. —Bluffton News. «> ■ - ATTEND FUNERAL.

REV. VERNOR SPEAKS. Former Decatur Pastor Gives Baccalaureate Sermon at Roodhouse. The Roodhouse (Ill.) Eye-Herald gives an account of tne baccalaureate sermon delivered there by the Rev. F. H. Vernor, a Former Decatur pastor. The account reads as follows: "The church societies of the city united Sunday evening in the baccalaureate services at the Baptist church. The pupils who were to be graduated and their teachers of the high school sat together In front seats ■ of the midale section and a full choir | provided music. Rev. W. L. Harms 1 of the Baptist church presided and 1 the opening prayer was offered by Rev. W. R. Butcher of the CongregaI tional church. Miss Nina Hale rendered an appropriate vocal solo. A very excellent sermon was delivered by Rev. Frank H. Vernor of the Christian church. Benediction was announced by Rev. Irvin McMurray of the Methodist church. There was present a large and appreciative audience." Lawrence E. Opliger was re-elected county superintendent of the schools of Adams county on the first ballot, at the annual meeting of the trustees of the various townships, held as the law provides, in the auditor's office at 10 o'clock on the first Monday in June. There were three candidates, Mr. Opliger, Fid S. Christen, principal of the West ward, Decatur, and Albert Sellemeyer, principal of the Peterson schools, and the fight waxed rather warm the past few days. Quite a number of people gathered about the court house this morning and considerable interest was manifested. County Auditor Michaud presided over the meeting and the business was taken up at once. The first ballot resulted: Opliger 9 Christen 2 Sellemeyer 1 As but seven votes were necessary for election, Mr. Opliger was declared duly elected and the meeting adjourned. Mr. Opllffer, who therefore succeeds himself, is a native of Wayne county, Indiana, where he was born thirty-; three years ago. He came to Adams county with his parents in ISB9, and lived in Hartford township until he moved here to assume his official duties. He is a graduate of the TriState Normal college at Angola, and took considerable work at the State University at Bloomington. He taught school in this county six years prior to his election and has been a faithful official. During the campaign many reports were started one way and another, but the trustees, who have absolute control, showed their faith in Mr. Opliger by re-electing him. He will serve for four years, and with the assistance of the people, the trustees and teachers, will advance the schools still further. The schools of Adams county, by the way, are not excelled any where and our students usually make showings for themselves when they enter the world battle. This was shown during the past year when two Monroe township students took the honors in the congressidhal spelling contest and made splendid showings at the state contest. “Chifdren Cry FOR FLETCHER’S eASTO R I A
