HEAVY DAMAGE WAS DUNE BY GREAT STOBMLAST NIGHT Barns Were Burned by the Lightning and Thunder Peals Struck Terror Into Hearts of Many. (Continued from Page One.) In good working order until late In the afternoon. No damage was done to the municipal light plant and that of the Richmond Light, Heat &. Power company, excepting the burning out of transforTer fuses. Both plants were put in nor-1 mal working order early today. Fuses burned out in the machines at the moving picture shows interrupting the programs for more than a half hour. The lights went out in many of the theaters and homes of the city. The only damage done in the parks was the breaking of many limbs from the trees. Sewers Were Overtaxed. The sewer at Maple and Ridge streets was unable to carry off the Burface water, the overflow crossing the street and flooding yards. Water was found in many cellars today. The sewerB In the retail and wholesale districts of the city were able to carry off the water. Merchants who inspected their buildings carefully last evening after the storm, felt relieved when they found that water had not backed Into their basements. The hail did no damage. Florists report that their flowers and plants were hot Injured by the heavy downpour of rain and that the hail did not cut the plants. Three trees were blown down at the pumping station of the Richmond City water works, east of the city. Two trees were struck by lightning and demolished in West Richmond. The storm came from the southwest veering to the northwest. The heavy wind which ushered in the storm began in the southwest. The velocity of the wind was terrific, uprooting many trees and damaging many small bulldogs. The storm shifted to the northwest bringing the fall of hail, and then veered to the northeast. A Heavy Rainfall. Observations taken at the metereological station at the pumping plant showed that .92 inches of rain fell in less than a half hour. The rainfall for this period Is considered one of the heaviest recorded in Wayne county. When the storm broke, the Chautauqua audience was listening to the concert given by the Strollers. The audience remained in the tent, but hundreds were badly frightened when the lights in the tent went out: The feeling of apprehension was not allayed In the least when the quartette began singing "Nearer My God, to Thee." Reports from over the county show that little damage was done by lightning to farm buildings. In western Ohio, the loss in crops and buildings Is heavy. It Is considered remarkable that no buildings in Richmond were struck by the bolts of lightning that flashed through the sky. Residents of the South side believed that St. John's Lutheran and St. Andrew's Catholic churches had been struck by lightning. Many inquiries poured into the parsonages of the congregations after the storm. TWO BARNS BURNED. ELDORADO, Ohio, Aug. 29. Lightning str-uck the barn of James Wagner, a farmer living near here, last night, setting it on fire and destroying the structure and its contents. The loss Is estimated at $6,000. Three horses, several heads of cattle, all the hay, grain, farming Implements and vehicles were destroyed. The barn of Arthur Bruss also was burned. ' Many heads of cattle standing under trees were killed by lightning. Several buildings in the town were struck by lightning, but were not set on fire. The damage to the corn and tobacco crops Is a heavy one. TOBACCO IS BURNED. NEW PARIS. Ohio. Aug. 29. The tobacco shed of Ira Burman, a farmer living near here, was destroyed by fire last night after it had been struck by lightning. All the tobacco and farming implements were lost. The damage Is estimated at $2,000. No damage was done In New Paris, hut farmers lost heavily. Horses and

The barn belonging to Charles Armstrong, near Lewisburg, was unroofed and the structure blown off its foundation several feet. The damage to the tobacco and corn crops, especially the former, will be very heavy. The tobacco having shown signs of rust was just being cut by the farmers. The heavy rainfall will delay this work considerably. OVERTURNS MACHINERY. WILLIAMSBURG, Ind., Aug. 29. A traction engine and a separator belonging to Curtis McMann. standing in the barn yard of Harry Wood, one mile north of here, were overturned by the wind last night. The machines wt re badly damaged. An automobile on the same place was overturned and damaged. The wind carried off the roof of the barn and did considerable damage to the house and other buildings. The buildings are owned by Wood. The corn crop in this section was severely damaged. Berne and Its Bears. Berne Is surrounded by the bine green river Aare. and seven bridges cross into the picturesque suburbs; the view of the Alps is one of the finest to be had. One may walk through the streets of Berne, writes an American visitor, and find constant surprises. The odd fountains will be observed with interest. They were mostly built in the sixteenth century. There are a number of public institutions worth a Visit the historical museum. , museum of industry and the museums of art and nature; several libraries and the public gardens, which contain the great bear pit so universally known, to say nothing of the quaint gates and the headquarters of the Postal union. Bears have been kept on public exhibition in Berne since 14 SO in commemoration of the killing of one by the Duke of Zahringeo on the site ef the tews.

BOXING CARNIVAL INTERESTS MANY Several preliminaries between local talent have been arranged to open the big boxing show to be held at the Coliseum on Labor day, and all the promising boys in Richmond will be given a chance. The main event of the evening will bring together Eddie Webber and J oung Donnelly, two of the hardest hitting welterweights in the state. Both boys have been in constant training for the past three weeks and will have no excuses to offer from that source. This will be the first time these boys have ever met and it should be one grand mix up from the tap of the gong until the finish. The ten-round contest between Buck Daily of Chicago, and Harry Burgman, is creating much interest. They recently fought a spectacular ten round draw at the Empire theater in Indianapolis. Young Donnelly will arrive in Richmond Friday and will finish his training here working out with the local boys. The seat sale will open at Simmons' cigar store Friday and from present indications a packed house will greet the boys. This being a holiday the management has decided to admit women free of charge. ATTENTION, VEHICLE OWNERS. All licenses for Bicycles, Motorcycles. Automobiles, Wagons, Buggies, Carriages, etc., are due September 1st, and must be renewed on or before that date. The same are now ready for distribution at this office. E. G. McMahan, City Controller. Human Nature. All boys think they will be richer than their fathers, and all girls think they can keep house better than their mothers. They continue to think this until they are fathers and mothers themselves.

MARSHALL SPEECH Declares Revocation of Corporation Charters Would Ruin Business. NEW YORK, Aug. 29. Gov. Marshall, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, in his Main speech Tuesday said "the way to handle the trust question is by forfeiture of charter." George W. Perkins of the Progressive national committee yesterday discussed the matter, saying: "I notice Gov. Marshall says the way to reach the corporation question is to forfeit corporation charters, and that this can be done because a corporation is only a creature of the state. I also notice the Republicans claim that they have settled the corporation question through the Standard Oil and Tobacco dissolution suits. The Progressive party belives that neither Gov. Marshall's solution nor Mr. Taft's dissolution program will be accepted by the public as a satisfactory or permanent settlement of the corporation question. Eliminate Evil; Preserve Good. "We stand for the elimination of the evils and the preservation of the good wherever they exist, whether in business or in politics. The Democratic party is at this moment posing before the country as a Progressive party and yet in one of the first utterances its vice president candidate makes (and mind you, this is the candidate that would preside over the - United States senate if elected) is to smash all large business enterprises to smithereens. "The Democratic tariff plank says the Democrats are going to adjust the tariff, but do it in such a way as not to disturb business. Mr. Marshall's utterance of yesterday shows how they are going to handle the corporation question without disturbing business. "It is the first official utterance we have from the Democratic party as to just what they are going to do with big business. It Is clear and to the point. There is no misunderstanding it. . . . They propose to revoke charters and in this way absolutely wipe the corporations out of existence. I suppose they will do this without disturbing business. Commercial Power Not Feared. "The Progressive movement recognized that the corporation is an essential part of modern business; that the concentration of moderp. business in some degree is both inevitable and necessary for national and international efficiency, but that the concentration of vast wealth and power under the corporate system unguarded and uncontrolled by the nation, has placed ia the hands of a few men enormous tecretive, and irresponsible power over the daily life of citizens, a power insufferable in a free government, and certain of abuse. "We do not fear commercial power, but we insist it shall be exercised openly, under publicity, under supervision and regulation of the most efficient sort, which will preserve the good while eradicating and preventing evils exactly as is now done with our large national banks and with great railroad systems." When the Guitar Arrived. The advent of the English guitar In the eighteenth century caused the disappearance of bandores, poiipbants and similar wire strung instruments, or. rather, it supplanted them. for. owing to the use of fingers, the English guitar, though smaller, could be used for accompanying the voice as well as for solo performances. The instrument, which bad a decorative appearance, is frequently depicted in the portraiture of the eighteenth century. It was made in various sizes, two of the smaller to be managed by young ladies from seven to ten years of age. the other by ladies of ten and upward." Fish Delusions. There are two popular delusions about fish one that they cannot live out of water and the other that they can live in any pure water, the food supply taking care of itself. As a matter of fact, there are fish In Africa which, having to exist in absolutely dry rivers for a portion of the year, have developed lungs, while in many an amateur's aquarium fish cannot live in the water provided owing to lack of food.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 29,

SAUER KRAUT DAY I! Kraut and Wienerwurst Tickle the Palates of Iowans. (National News Association) ACKLEY. Iowa, Aug. 29. "Sauer Kraut Day," an annual festival in Ackley, was celebrated today with an attendance of more than 10,000 visitors, of whom, every man, wpman and child had his or her fill of free kraut and wieners. Free entertainments of all kinds were given throughout the day. A dozen barrels of kraut and 1,000 pounds of Wienerwurst were consumed at the free dinner, which was one of the big features of the day. Athletic contests and many other attractions filled In the programme. These big doings were all because the cabbage crop this year is fully up to the expectations of the growers, and Ackley expects to make enough kraut to supply a large section of the country next winter. LOVE'S LABOR LOST. He Intended to Be Generous, but His Bride Thought Otherwise. "What is the matter?" Inquired her dearest friend as she was ushered into the boudoir of her newly married chum and found, instead of the vision of happiness she had expected, a disheveled heroine largely dissolved in tears. "What is the matter?" "Algernon has gone away for a week" "But, my child, you don't mean to say that you are such turtle doves that you can't spare him for a week without making a scene like this?" "Oh, no, it isn't that at all! Of course it is hard to live alone, but he has at last shown me what a monster he is." "Why, this Is shocking! What can he have done? You haven't found he was already married or" "No, no, no! It's only that he Is a heartless, miserly creature. Only think! I asked him to leave me a check to pay for things while he was away" "Well, surely he didn't refuser' "No; worse than that far worse! He just wanted to wound and humiliate me! He left me a check, all dated and signed, complete, except that he didn't put any amount in! Wasn't that very cruel ?" Judge. Analysis of Laughter. For the benefit of a melancholy world an English professor has been devoting his careful, scientific attention to laughter and has prepared an expert analysis of the whole business, according to the Providence Journal. "Laughter," he says, "is a convulsive action of the diaphragm. In this state the person draws a full breath and throws it out in interrupted, short and audible cachinnations. This convulsion of the diaphragm is the principal part of the physical manifestation of laughter, but there are several accessories, especially the sharp vocal utterance arising from the violent tension of the larynx and the expression of the features, this being a more intense form of the smile. In extreme cases the eyes are moistened by the effusion from the lachrymal glands." Philadelphia Ledger. Walnuts as Food. The ancients held the walnut In high esteem. Mortals could and did exist on acorns, but walnuts were so delicious in taste and flavor, so palatable and nutritious, that they were revered as food only for the gods to dine upon. Modern investigaUon and modern customs have popularized the uses of the walnut to such an extent that it is now regarded not only as a luxury, but as a food of great nutritive value. A chemical analysis of the nut shows that it is six times as nutritious as meat. No vegetable or fruit, with the possible exception of the olive, can be compared with the walnut as a strength giving and fat producing food. AH nuts are possessed of elements of nutrition, but the highest in. rank is the walnut. Manchester Guardian. Strangled the Tree. A Victoria clergyman had an orange and a pine tree in his garden. One spring it was noticed that the orange tree was drooping, and on digging down he found that the roots of the pine, which stood at some distance, had twisted around the taproot of the orange tree and were strangling It to death. The offending roots were untwisted and cut away, and the drooping plant revived. The tree eventually died. Then on digging down at a greater depth the clergyman found the pine had attacked the orange root lower down and accomplished Its murderous end. London Graph!.

SHAPE UP PROPOSAL And Bids Will Probably Be Advertised for Soon. The board of works this morning took two more anal steps toward shaping In its final form, the water works proposal contract. It was decided not to ask for free water for the schools cf the city or for the hospitals. It was decided that the clause stipulating that the city shall receive oneLalf of all the net profits of the light plant in excess of six per cent, shall be included in the contract. This will make U easier for the water works companies to bid, the board believes. The next meeting of the council, the l-nard of works and the city's special attorneys, is set for next Tuesday night. Th public will not be Invited to attend. The two features mentioned above, and some legal points, will be considered at this meeting and If an agreement is reached the board will then advertise for bids. Council has agreed to all the provisions of the proposal contract with the exception of the two above named. A vast amount of 111 health is due to impaired digestion.
