Damage aggregating hundreds of dollars was done yesterday afternoon by the storm which was one of mosc severe ever experienced in this community. The . damage done resulted from rain, wind and lightning. Immediately after the two fire alarm . calls yesterday afternoon ' the : fire alarm service of the city was burned ou( at Eleventh . and Main streets ,by lightning. Upon the return of the companies from the fires account of which was printed yesterday, the condition was discovered. The firemen immediately set to work to put the system in good condition. , , Wires Were Down. The telephone and electric light com panles, as well as the Dayton & Western, and the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction companies suffered heavy losses. Many phones were put out of commission by the lightning and It will be several days before the service is up to the standard again. The Light, Heat and Power company and the Municipal Light plant officials had numerous complaints; from the east part of the city, where the storm seemed to center, that the electric lights would not burn. 'The fuses had been , burned out In the meters by the lightning. ' The electric railway , systems suffered heavy losses by . the high wind blowing down poles supporting the trolley wires. About a mile of wire was down on the Dayton & Westera system between Eaton and Alexandria. The storm seemed , to make an extra effort at this point and 48 poles in a

line were broken 'off. The company was unable to get through to Dayton lastT evenltig The service had " not been restore up till noon today. It was expected by the company officials to have the wire up and ' the track cleared in order that through service would be furnished this afternoon. At Centerville. The Tejrre Kaute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction line, near. Centerville was badly damaged by the trolley wires being blown loose from the supports. A number of poles were also broken off but the company was able to furnish service during the entire day. ,, , ; Probably as heavy a loser as any will be the city of Richmond. By th3 numerous washouts Jn ; the street3, particularly In the east and south portions of the city work will have to bo commenced immediately in order to restore the streets.

A Document of Antiquity That

In the mythology of Greece there was a soniber saga which declared , that, in the far north, later described as Colchis, there dwelt some autceref children of the sua. Of the Hecate posssessed vast knowledge of poisonous herbs, which passed to her daachter Medea, who administered drug p that dragrm which guarded the Golden Fleece and urjed Jason - to gladiatorlike achievements. Menes, one of the oldest of the Egyptian kings, and Attalus Phylometcr. the last king of rergemus, undoubted-. lr possessed wide knowledge of me- ' dlclnal plants. Attains Fhylemefer compounded medicines and expert mented with poisons. He was familiar with hyoscyamns. aconite, reratruia. contain and others. Mithradatcs Eupator went further than either of these, however, as he prepared the famous mixture tberiaca. composed of fifty-four Ingredients, and which in later days sold at a great price. There Is . further evidence of the chemical knowledge of the Egyptians as disclosed in embalming and' various technical works. The most Interesting feature, of the poison lore of Egypt, however. Is the fact that the Egyptians were acquaint

ed with prussic add. one of the most deadly poisons. They distilled It from certain plants and trees, notably the peach. In the Louvre there la an an- t cient Egyptian papyrus on which has been deciphered: "Pronounce not the nam of L A. O. under the penalty of the peach.

The patrolman said there had been

complaint earlier in the night about Annie, but this she denied. She said that was about Harry Goins, the negro

rural route carrier, who hr.d a fight

with Albert Williams. This informa

tion was greedily grabbed up by the

police, who had been trying to get a

line on the Goins fight and arrests are likely to follow. The Bryant woman

said Goins is married but doesn't live

with his wife. '

Is Hubby Wayward? Annie told of such wantom way

wardness on the part of her husband

that the court told her she is foolish to continue to live with him. if he

abuses her as she alleges. The defen

dant claimed the Williams woman

runs after George and last night satj

with a razor in her hand to keep other

women from dancing with Annie's own husband. She said she separates

from Bryant, but he coaxes her back j and threatens to kill her it she tells the police. She claimed George runs

with "them folks what carry razors

and guns "and frequents the north

end. She said she never goes to the

north end.

Visions of her troubles were so re-

alastic to Annie that she cried frantically. Throwing herself onto the lap

of a friend frtie sobbed about vher

troubles, saying no one knows now ' she has been tried by them. Annie' usually makes a scene In police court, where -she is no stranger, and there was but little sympathy manifested

for her.

There has been more or less talk lately regarding the small supply of old wheat flour on hand in this city.

Much of the new wheat is now being ground into flour, but it is not so good

as that made from old wheat. Efforts

have been made to buy old wheat flour

but it seems hard to get at present.

One of the warerooms in this city was

visited this morning and found to con

tain various brands and grades of old wheat flour. It would seem from this

it was not a question of scarcity, but a question of knowing where to. go to get the goods desired. There is no

doubt plenty of old wheat flour may be

secured if the buyer finds out, where to

go to get the goods.

HAVING FINE TRIP.

Milton. Ind., July 31. Two letters

hsve arrived from Frank Callaway who

is now on a trip to Europe. Mr. Callaway wrote on shipboard of the fine voyage and congratulated himself on

his being a fine sailor. He was not troubled by sea sickness and enjoyed the ocean to his fullest extent. He wrote interestingly of the steerage passengers on the Ptnonia and saw two burials at sea. He again wrote from "The Rock Gibraltar" and gave

an interesting account of what he saw.

Deputy game wardens who hsve re

ceived much complaint from legitimate fishermen as to the illegitimate

methods being used by some people In the streams in western Wayne and

Henry counties, have arrested Daniel

Casey of Henry county for having a

gig in his possession. He was recent

TIME IS EXTENDED

It Is certain that the Romans learned

of prussic add from the Egyptians, for history has It that In the reign of Tiberius a Roman knight accused of treason drank poison and fell dead at the feet of the senators. In ancient Greece poison was the fa vorite method of capital punishment and suicide, and It is of Interest that self destruction was considered by the Greeks as an exemplary means of freeing the soul from the body. Valerius Maxlmus relates that he "saw a woman of quality tn the Island of Gees -who. having lived happily for ninety years, obtained leave to take a poison ous draft, lest by living longer she should happen to have a change In her ' good fortune.' J Meander of Colophon (ZH-123 B. Cl wrote the most ancient works extant on the subject of poisons. In one

treatise he described the effects of snake venom, in another tie considered the properties of opium, henbane, certain fungi, colcblcum. aconite and eon-

tlum and recommended antidotes for them. V

Dioscorldes (40-00 A. D- described

the effects of cantha rides, sulphate of copper, mercury, lead and arsenic . Ho

animal poisons, poisons from plants

and mineral poisons.
