Struck by Lightning.
The home of Wm. F. Blum, in thia
place, was struck by lightning during a
severe thunderstorm about four o'clock,
Monday afternoon. The bolt entered the
house by way of a wire clothes line fas
tened to the back porch aud the crash
when it struck was something terrlflo,
the whole town feeling the shook. The
woodwork at the back door and some
clothes on the line immediately caught
Hie but the llamea were quenched by the
use of a few palls of water, although the
hose cart was promptly on band. Mrs.
Wm. Blum was lying on a couch In the
front room. She felt no shock and he-
?ond the scare was uot Injured. Mrs.
avid Bluin and three children were on
the second floor. She felt the shock but
was uninjured. The back part of the
house was considerably lorn up, the din
ing room and kitchen getting the worst
of the shock. A few weather boards were
split, plaster torn loose, windows broken,
and a great many dishes smashed. One
of the freaks of tbo electric fluid was the
breaking of a number of casters on abed
and dresser In a down-stairs bed room.
It was a narrow escape and a fortunate
thing that no one was In the dining room
or kitoben at the time.
S. J. (Jrove's Home Is Burned.
The dwelling house of S. J. Groye, lo
cated at the mouth of Tubbs run, at the
northern limits of the borough, was com
pletely destroyed by a fire which broke
out about two o'clock Friday afternoon.
The family used wood for fuel and Mrs.
Grove was engaged In doing a baking
and It is supposed the fire caught from
sparks from the chimney. It was dis
covered by both Mr. and Mrs, Grove at
the same time and all of the top part of
the building was In flames. Mrs. Grove
gave the alarm by telephone and quite a
number of men went up to assist tbem,
but nothing could be done toward saving
the bouse of any of the contents. Mr.
Grove saved the sewing machine, a writ
ing desk, center table and two rockers,
but everything else iu the bouse, Includ
ing all their clothing and a valuable col
lection of books owued by their daughter,
Miss Evelyn Grove, was destroyed. flO
In cash was also lost. The loss which is a
very heavy one to Mr. Grove, will run
between f 1,000 and 1,500. There was an
Insurance of $050 on the house and con
tents. The wind carried the flames away
from the other buildings and It was an
easy malter to save several chicken bouses
nearby. The barn was never in danger.
The flames lumped across Tubbs run and
set fire to the woods and soon the whole
bill was a roaring mass of flame. A crew
of men and boys went farther back on
tbe hill and by back-firing bad the fire
under control before tbe close of the
afternoon.

North Carolina, was tbe attraction at
Andrews' Hall, Thursday evening. A
large audience ureeted tbe singers. Peo
ple from Mayburg, Newtown, aud Ne
braska arrived ou 'pecial trains. At
8 o'clock every reserved seal In tbe bouse
was sold. The program was pronounced
Ihe best that was ever rendered to a Kel
lettvllle audience. Tbe audience was en
tranced and spellbound from the begin
ning to the finish. A selection, "The
Flag that Never Touched tbe Ground,"
caught tbe bouse by storm. The gentle
men's quartette in amusing Impersona
tions and burlesque brought forth round
after round of applause. The rendition
of "The Bttle," by Mr. Carter, was
masterful and classical. Mr. Manning,
l be basso, sang, "Asleep lo Ihe Deep".
If the audience bad the disposition of tbe
Carnegie medals, Mr. Manning would be
assured of at least one. At the close of
program, a unanimous request was made
for a return date. We understand Prof.
Simmons is negotiating for the same.
The course was a financial success net
ting the schools $80. Two young men
who disturbed the audience in the hall
Thursdsy evening will be excluded from
all entertainments given under the aus
pices of the publio schools.
ANOTHER COHHKSI'ONIIKNT.
All important change occurred in the
ownership of the Watson & Co. store lu.t
week, when the Hon. Geo. R. Johnson re
tired from the firm, Mr. Leon Watson
purchasing his interest. Mr. Wiitson in
tends to give more uttention to the mercan
tile business hereafter. The Keystone
Handle Co., of Con don, l'u., have purch
ased all the mutcriul on the ground ut the
old wood factory and have a lurge crew of
men who arc busily engaged in razing the
old kiln to the ground. It will be some
time before the handle mill will be ready
to place their mutcriul ou the market. This
is a new industry and we gladly report any
news of this kind. The Salmon mill has
resumed operations for the summer. Their
cut will be principally hard wood. The
high school course of entertainments w as
concluded on Thursday evening by the
presentation of the world wide Carter Jubi
lee Singers, of Chicago. No better enter-
tuininent was ever given ill Kcllettville
loan this last number. Special trains from
Mayburg and Nebraska assisted very ma
terially in tilling the hall to its utmost ea
nucitv and also addinir lucre to the treasury
of tho high school funds. Words are inad
equate to express the pleased attitude ofthc
assemblage. Prof. Simmons was the recip
ient of many kind words und expressions
in his rare judgment in selecting none but
the very nest ol entertuincrs. Atler paying
all indebtedness the neat sum of ji-si re
mained as a nest egg for future layers.

Signs of spring. Spring is now here. It
bus been here before, but not so much so
perhaps as it is this year. In spring tliu
buds swell up and bust. The violets bloom
once more und t lie husband und father puts
up tue screen door to fool the annual lly
when he tries to make his annual debut.
Spring conies with joyous liiugh and song
und sunshine and the' burnt sacrifice of the
overripe boot and the hourv overshoe. The
common egg of commerce begins to come
forth into the market ut a price w here it
can be reached with tt step ladder. There
are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn
und winter. Spring Is the most joyous seu
son of the year. It is then the green grass
and the lavender pants come forth. The
little birds twitter in the branches und the
fanner goes forth to till the soil till the
cows come home We all love the moist
and fragrant spring. It is then that the
spring bonnet of the world crosses the
curt lis orbit und inukcs the bunk account
of the husband und lather look fatigued.
The hum of the humble bee is again with
us. The little striped hornet heats bis nose
with u spirit lump and goes fortli to seek
the man with the linen pantaloons. All
natu; is full of life and activity ; likew ise
the mini witli the linen puntaloons The
frogs in the valley add their joyous discord
to that of the dog ut 1 1 p. in. The idle man
will meander up to the sunny side of a hor
izontal object und gently lean with his
buck to the object, w hile ill his eve there
is a farcwav look us he gently pronels him
self us doctli a walking hcun. Tin' small
boy will gallantly don his father's boots
and proceed to plow up the fat und lucioiis
angle worm ami gently lay them away for
future use. And last, but not least, a sure
sign is Charley Russell toting in his (nips
that have been set all w inter w ithout suc
cessful incubation.
