WIND, LIGHTNING AND HAIL DAMAGE IN HANCOCK AND ADJOINING COUNTIES-

NORTH PART MORST DAMAGED.

It is a peculiar coincidence that the terrible heat of the past few days and the long drought was broken on the anniversary of the terrible cyclone, twelve years ago, by another storm which swept over part of the same territory in this and other counties Thursday evening.

While the storm Thursday was not nearly as severe as the one twelve years ago, still it did a great deal of damage in the northern part of this county, and in fact, practically all over the State. The rain, too, was pretty general, and while the storm did thousands of dollars' worth of damage, the rain will benefit the crops to many times the amount of the damage done.

In this city and immediate vicinity the damage was not very great. The telephone and telegraph companies suffered the greatest losses. A great many telephones were put out of commission all over the city and county and electric light fuses were burned out in many homes.

A long string of the Independent Telephone Company's lines were blown down and across the T. H., I. & E. trolley wires west of town and teams were employed to remove the wreckage before cars could get through. The last car did not get in until about 2 o'clock Friday morning.

At Maxwell and vicinity, where the cyclone struck the hardest twelve years ago, the damage was great l'rom Thursday evening's storm. Fourteen Honey Bee electric line poles were blown down just west of Maxwell and traffic was tied up on that line until Friday morning. So far as has been learned, no one was hurt.

Throughout that entire locality and for miles both east and west, the damage, to farmers was great from wind, hail and lightning. Fences and trees were blown down, buildings damaged, wheat shocks blown over and scattered about the fields, and the hail, many of which were large, cut the corn and tomatoes and other green growing vegetables and plants. One man, James Gilson, who had three acres of tomatoes, counts them almost a total loss, according to report. At Ingalls, the sub-station on the Honey Bee was unroofed and other damage done. Also at McCordsville, Mohawk and Fortville, considerable damage is reported.

Storm 2 Both the house and barn of Charles Stanley, north of Ingalls, were practically destroyed by the wind. They were blown down. Ed Rickard's buildings in the same neighborhood, were damaged, a ad Ed Norris, of the same territory, was also a heavy loser by the storm

William Gibson's barn, north of Carthage, was damaged, and also John Weber's barn, on Route 4. Perry Ninger, of near Freeport, had a cow killed by lightning, and much other damage was done in different localities.

KHIGHSTOWN WANTS

Claims to Offer An Ideal Location On the Carroll Farm of 160 Acres, Near Lake.

Wm. R. Johnston Paul F. Binford C. M. Curry N. C. Binford

after th( The Ban-

A proposition has been put up the Banner by a Knightstown mai of wealth and influence that sound.^ good to us and we are herewitl going to divulge it. It is that ol locating here the proposed Masoni home for indigent members and orohans and the widows of the Easteri Star, the ladies' auxiliary of th Masonic order of the State. Th Masonic membership of the Stat is in round numbers about seventh thousand, and the proposed hom will be constructed along lines t( care for a thousand inmates. Oui friend suggests that the citizens this town awaken to the questioi at hand and the beneficent result to be obtained from having such ai institution in our midstf, and tc make an earnest, energetic ant effective effort in locating this hom( right at our door.

Some years ago a wealthy Masor left a legacy of $165,000 for such a home, provided it was built ir Clark county. After the committer had visited the contemplated site and taken into consideration all the benefits and drawbacks to the acceptance of the legacy, they voted it down, and are now looking about with the full intent and purpose of choosing a location within an hour's car ride of the State Capital.

The proposed location is the Carroll farm, of 160 acres, which the Banner says is situated high and dry to the west of us and overlooking the Montgomery and Blue river valleys. At the eastern foot of the land we have a beautiful lake of several acres fed by never failing springs. Along the north side of this farm runs the National road, eighty feet in width, which carries more east and west automobile traffic than any other highway in the Union. Paralleling this great National thoroughfare is the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern traction line, one of tha great trunk lines of the State. On the southern boundary line of the farm runs the main division of the great Pennsylvania system of railways. On the east is the Big Four system of rail ways.

All three of these railway lines are so situated that each could easily throw a sidetrack on the farm. Each could have a station for the reception of freight and passengers. It is an ideal location from a landscaper's point of view. The site in land terms may be styled a table land, rising not to say too abruptly from the creek bottom. It commands a view of the entire country around. There are no dangerous cliffs the drainage is excellent, and the land is A No. 1 for the growing crops, providing the home would require such.

MUST TAKE AWAY SOUVENIR

What London Hotel Managers Think of Americans Who Have the "Collecting" Craze.

"Small articles, such as spoons, ash trays and other little things taken from the big London hotels by American visitors as souvenirs of their visits amount in value in the course of a year to about $100,000." This statement, says the New York Times, was made by the manager of one of the largest hotels In London. "The souvenir-collecting craze of American visitors to London," said the manager of another hotel which is the resort of many Americans every year, "is a weakness which Is not regarded too seriously by the proprietors. No one thing really valuable Is taken, of coarse, and the article taken is almost always some little thing bearing the crest or the name of the establishment. Here is a list of the things which are prized by Americans and which are regularly— and with quite Innocent intention—appropriated as souvenirs of a stay at a big London hotel: Silver plated coffee spoons, china ashtrays, silver plated menu stands, card trays, silver plated knives and forks, towels, dressing table trinkets, pin cushions and small pieces of table furniture. All these, of course, bear the name and the crest of the hotel."

Another hotel keeper told a good atory of one American who wanted a plate bearing the name and crest of the place. "I am willing to pay for this plate," said the Amerioan, "but if you won't take my money, well, I guess I shall take the plate all the same." He paid for it—12 cents. It appeared that he had been collecting plates from all the famous hotels in the country—not always paying for them, he admitted—and he proposed giving a dinner to bis friends on his return to America at which every guest would have his food served on different plates collected from the famous English hotels.

REAL WORlrt IN HOT MILK

Not Only as Food, But for Many Other Reasons It Is of Considerable Value.

Not every one appreciates the value of hot milk. Many persons who cannot digest cold milk find that when it is heated and a pinch of salt added it agrees with them perfectly. Milk so hot that it must be sipped will often soothe the nerves of a person too tired and excited by the events of the day to sleep.

For a woman tired and hungry after shopping a cup of hot milk and a crisp cracker, a piece of toast or a graham wafer will supply the needed refreshment. A little flavoring is an accept able addition, such as a pinch of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, vanilla or maple extract.

Then again hot milk is valuable for the toilet It is good to apply to a burn. Should the skin be dry or chapped wash it night and morning with warm skimmed milk. This is far more healing than the average cosmetic. Milk has a way of softening and whitening dark complexions. It is beneficial for those who live in steam heated rooms and should be used as a face lotion upon retiring.

Courtesy.

"Do you know," said a caller at the Dispatch office, "I have never come into the business or editorial rooms here to ask a question that I have not been kindly and courteously answered." That is a compliment which all the members of the force appreciate and hope they will always merit But we wonder if a part of the compliment is not due to the man himself who gave it Did not his manner and speech invite the sort of reply he received? Do we not all help to make the treatment that we get at the hands of others? Certainly we do. The world about us la in large measure what we make it. We have friends.if we are friendly we find enemies if we are hostile.—* Columbus Dispatch.

Professor Porter of a small New Bngland college, sat ponderously in the chair devoted chiefly to the science of heredity. The Porters had been, for generations, men of abstruse scientiflo turn, bookish men. But the professor's small son, Tommy, hated his books cordially, much to his learned father's dismay. The professor looked ruefully at the teacher's re port that Tommy had played hookey and destroyed his books. "My dear," said the professor to his wife, "I am afraid that I must class Thomas as a true instanoe of aversion to type."

"I have learned," explained Loretta impressively, "that women have been terribly slandered for thousands of years.

"How did you find it out?" "You needn't talk superciliously," said Loretta. "You, who were so flattered because that little Miss Harris said you looked like an aristocrat I have just been taking observations. "The first woman I noticed particularly had one of these new lemon colored hats on—you know, the kind that has trimming of blue and green and red. Well, she herself was the color of an orange and she stood before a mirror smiling at herself, perfeotly delighted with a hat that made her look 20 years too old and the shade of yellow that is the very most distressing. "Next to her there stood a woman on the shady side of fifty, who wore a very extreme Dutch neck and showed forth more bones and wrinkles than are included in moat

Then There Are the Hats."

"I would have laughed aloud If I hadn't been struck dumb by another woman who approached wearing a terra cotta coat a crimson hat and a green dress. She had a purple feather in her hat and her hair was red, and she was a sight to behold. I began to look at women more intently then and I tried to reason it out Why does a woman who has a bony neck attempt to wear these Queen Elizabeth ruffs that make the neck long and thin looking, and then cap the climax with a Dutch neck which gets chapped and raw in our winter winds? Can she think that she looks well?" "She wont be well very long, that's one sure thing," replied Loretta's brother. "Then there are the hats," Loretta went on. "Words fail ine when I come to the hats. Can't women see how ridiculous they look with a bamboo tree sticking into everybody's eyes? What makes them think they look sweet in hats banged over one eye or slanted down over their foreheads as flat as a plate? Why do sallow women wear green and lemon or old rose and lavender combinations? Simply because they have not a speck of vanity, that's all. If they had the least bit of vanity, then I'm sure that nothing on earth could tempt them to put such things on, no matter if they were a hundred times the style. Then there's hair. "Colored wigs?" "I don't mean anything so absolute* Iy silly," Loretta said, scornfully. "I mean those flat curls stuck down on the cheek and those wads of hair over each ear. "They're wearing initials on their cheeks now. Have you seen them? They make you almost believe they have been branded on." "You contend that it's lack of vanity that makes it?" queried her brother. "Why not lack of taste?" "Because that would be discouraging," Loretta said, coolly. "I should not like to think that for a minute. I prefer to believe they lack vanity. For myself, I agree with a gentleman who confessed to a man friend what he thought they looked like." "And what was that?" "That," Loretta said, rising, with a sigh. "I decline to repeat.

ORIGIN OF SABBATH

Evangelist Said It Was Introduced Into Eden the Seventh Day After Time Began—When

Observance Changed.

"The Sabbath institution is as old as this world. It was introduced into Eden the seventh day after time began, and the Lord desired that it should be a blessing to man, for whom it was made." These were the opening remarks of Evangelist Lauda Tuesday night at the Evangelical and Medical Gospel tent in his sermon on "The New Testament Sabbath, or Lord's Day." The speaker said further: "The New Testament, in unfolding the doctrine of God the Son,'the Second Person of the Trinity, declares that Jesus Christ was the Agent in creation. John 1: 1-14 Cor. 8: 6 Col. 1: 14-18 Heb. l! Therefore God the Son, our Lord, made the SabbaLh day, and it is the only and true Lord's day. During his early life he kept the day which he had made, and thus become our great Example. Luke 4: 14-16 1 Pet. 2: 21. "The first day of the week is only mentioned in the New Testament eight times and nowhere is it spoken of as a sacred day, and there is not an intimation that it should be kept as the Sabbath. The sacredncss attached to the first day of the week is not of apostolic origin for Sunday was not kept by Christians as a holy day until after the death of all the apostles. It was introduced into the church by Constantine, who was nominally converted from Paganism to Christanaity, but was indeed a Pagan at heart and in principle till the last. "The author of Sunday was not an appointed representative of Jesus Christ, but it was brought to us from the darkness of Paganism by a corrupt Roman emperor who had no regard for Christianity only as he could use it to satisfy his own personal ambitons. But on the other hand, we have as the author of the Sabbath, the Lord God of heaven, who, in the person of His Son, gave us an example in its observance when he was here on earth."
