Lightning Burns a Barn.

Late last Tuesday afternoon, when a few drops of rain fell in Rensselaer, there was quite a severe local thunderstorm north and northeast of town, a few miles, near enough in fact that the rolling of the thunder was plainly heard here. An unfortunate incident of the storm was that lightning struck the barn of Aleck Hurley in Barkley tp., and that and its contents were burned. Among the contents thus lost was a good team of horses, also a carriage, harness, etc. The loss is a severe one to a man in Mr. Hurley’s circumstances. There was quite a hail storm in some parts of the track of the thunder storm, but there was little damage it could do now.

The Army Canteen.

Since the death of President McKinley the prohibition fanatics who villified the presideat so terribly because he favored the canteen in the army are beginning to confess their error. The Indianapolis Jornal says that after hearing the presentation of the canteen question by Surgeon Munson, of the army, the Americap Public Health Association, at its recent meeting in Buffalo, adopted a resolution asking Congress to restore it in the interest of temperance and military sanitation During the first six years of the canteen the admissions to hospitals for alcoholism steadily diminished showing a decrease of 23.6 per cent, in the average annual number of admissions. Delirium tremens fell off 31.3 per cent, and insanity 31.7 per cent. The annual average of court-martial conviotion for drunkenness was reduced more than one-half under the canteen system, and the desertion rate showed a similar deoline All army statistics show that the era of the canteen was one of the least injury from the use of intoxicants and promoted discipline. LaHne Bros., have just receive, another car of the famous Oooi dent Flour. 87 cents a sack for a short time only.
