LIGHTNING.
The Mystio Fluid Has Been Known to
Cure as Well a to Kilt.
A peculiar feature of lightning when
attacking a human being fs that It Is
known to cure as well as to kill. In
one Instance a man who was para
lyzed on one side of bis body from
.childhood was struck, by a thunder
.bolt, and after renanlnlng Insensible
for twenty. , minutes he recovered
with the full use of all of bis members.
Another case was that of an invalid
In one of the Austrian hospitals who
was lucky enough to dtand In the way
vof an atmospheric spark and was en
abled without delay to leave the hos
pital perfectly well.
A similar occurrence took place on
the passenger packet boat New York
when a personwho had been hopeless
ly paralyzed for a great many years
was struck by lightning. He was bo
astonished to find himself cured that
he ran about the deck like a madman
and was so crazed with Joy that the
rest of tha passengers believed him to
have become mentally unbalanced tin
til they learned the cause of his exu
berance.
The cases where persons have bene
fited by a visit from this heavenly
power are too numerous to mention,
as in a number of cases they have lost
their deafness or regained their eye
eight and in some cases their mental
balance, and lightning really proves
fatal In few cases in comparison to
the number of people' it touches each
year. If, we could provide a way by
which we would not get an overdose
of this most wonderful fluid, lightning
would undoubtedly prove to bo the
long sought elixir of life, but the diffi
culty, arises In its being beyond our
control. Denver Tost . ,

The Vermont Idea for Savings Banks,
The Ludlow Tribune thinks
that the idea of Savings Banks
keeping Vermont money at
home will appeal to Vermont
ers. In commenting on this
particular feature of the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust
Company of Hyde Park, it
says :
Last Thursday this hank passed the
million dollar mark in itj assets and
not a single cent of it invested outside
of Vermont. So distinctively a Ver
mont flavor naturally appeals to the
taste of Vermontcrs, because it smacks
of level-headed management and a
safety Which is quite assuring- Con
gratulations are certainly in order.
This Bank pays 4 per cent,
compounded semi-annually on

TAFT TO STICK
BY HIS CHIEF
Has No Desire to Divorcellim
' self From Rooseveltism ;
SPEAKS IN LEXINGTON, KY.
The Secretary of War Fulfills His En
gagement for His Kentucky Address
Declares That He Is Not
Going to Resign.
Lexington, Ky.t Aug. 23. Secretary
Taft said yesterday regarding the re
port that he. would resign from the cab
inet upon his return from the Orient:
"I have no desire to divorce myself
from either RodseveltiHm or from the
president's administration. I realize
that, no matter what amount of pres
tige i may have been my good fortune
to attain in the middle west, my pres
tige which may have fallen to me is
due to my identification with the Boose
velt administration and ou my efforts to
carry out its policies.".
A reception to the secretary was held
in the parlors at the Phoenix Hotel from
10 until 11 o'clock. Hundreds of Re
publicans were here from various parts
of the state. They were introduced to
Mr. Taft by Stanley Milwurd of this
city.. The secretary 'had a word for all
who met him.
Among those in the reception . room
was James A. Garfield, secretary of the
interior. When asked regarding his con
ference with Secretary Taft, he said:
"The matters were entirely relative
to my department and since this was
my only chance to see Mr. Taft before
his departure for the Orient, I took this
op)ortiinity. I was in fct. Louis and am
returning to Washington. The matters
are of. a personal nature concerning the
details of my work."
Mr. Garfield was the recipient of much
admiration from Kentucky Republicans.
The Democrats here held, aloof, there
being but a few at the reception.
PER CENT. ON BONDS.
First Time in Twenty Years That Rate
Has Been Over 4 Per Cent.
New York, Aug. 23. The sinking
fund commission passed a resolution to
day deciding to pay 4li pec centnter
est per annum for all bonds, except those
taken up by the sinking fund and rapid
transit bonds.
Mayor MeClellan had this to say of
the plan:
For the last thre days I have done
all 1 could to help 'sell the 4 per cent,
bonds. I find that in the present condi
tion of the market there are no pur
chasers for city fours at par, except
city contractors forced to take bonds
in "settlefiient of their claims.
After having taken the liest finan
cial advice, 1 have concluded that there
will Is1 no difficulty in borrowing money
at 4'y percent. 1 will notify the heads
of the departments to limit their exjien
ses as much as possible. This, however,
will not apply to school buildings or to
work on w hieh large numbers of men
are employed.
This is the first time in more than
20 years that the city has had to pay
a higher rate of interest than 4. per
cent, on its bonds.

Schilf of the hitcrnationat banking house
of Kuhn. ,1ieb and company, who is in
Bar Harbor, on being asked by ft cor
respondent to express his- views upon
the existing -financial situation, made
this statement;
"To blame the federal administration
for the difficulties in which we find our
selves is both thoughtless and unjust.
Even if' the excesses which the great
prosperity of recent years has had in
its. wake has been perniitetd to continue
unchecked before long a situation would
have develojK'd probably far more dilii
etilt and serious thau the crisis through
which we are now passing.
"In the first instance it is a result of
tremendous railway, industrial and com
mercial . development of the last ten
years, and which has brought about capital-requirement
largely in excess of
the ability (f the country to supply.
"Moreover, it has been to a great ex
tent - overlooked- that the - Uussian-Japanese
war and the San Francisco earth
quake have destroyed an enormous
amount of wealth, which sooner or later
had to make itself felt.
"Nor has the, fact that both Japan
and China have now entered into com
petition for the surplus-capital of the
wo'rhl teeii given sufficient attention.
No other remedy for this state of
affairs , appears , to be.. .possibly than at
least a temporary reduction in onr ac
tivities until the country's capital and
credit facilities,; again have . reached : a
point suflicient ' for its volume of busi
ness.''''"' '; -"!" :' ' ' ' ; - 1
"I ladieve railroad managers in gen

anil merchants -appear, 'to be behind in
this. ' -
"The, sooner these two recognize the
imprudence of continuing at the present
pace, the more certain will they be to
save themselves from loss and the nearer

flow Much Could You Get !
For Your Farm?
Ton are a farmer. You live near this town. Yon own land.
Let os say that you own more than you need and would like to sell
a hundred acres.
How much could you get per acre?
Land values have risen lately. But has the value of your land
risen as you think It should?
Your land is good land. You think It Is worth considerably
more thnu anybody has offered you. Well, let us see.
A man buying farm land naturally prefers to locate near a
thrlvlug, up to dato town. He wants good home markets for his
crops. He wants good
schools.
Let us say your land Is

It Is probably beyond
calculation. If all that money had been spent In your own home
town, Isn't It reasonable to assume that the town would have
grown mora than It has grown?
Wouldn't this town bo a

from. Johnstown, Pa.,: says Jamc M.
Shumaker, .- former superintendent of
public buildings ami grounds at Harris
burg, who is implicated by the Capitol
Investigation Commission, has declared
that he will make full confession of all
he knows in connection with the Capitol
scandal, rile claim- that the manipula
tion of the funds was engineered by a
high official of the state at Harrisburg
to cover up a shortage in the state treas

when he was4 subpoenaed to appear be
fore the Capitol Investigating Commis

important secrets . when tint-trials begin

"1 ani' going on the w itness stand t

bingte secret,, and when-1 get through I
will show that men high in. official life
at Uajrisburjsr ought to go to the peni

The. probers may be after me, but I
will go after the man they are protect
ing. I w ill not spare him. I am going
to tell everything ! know. I do not
propose to suffer for the sins of a scoun
drel who knew the collossal graft but
refused to stop it, as I urged. I know
what the graft was for, that it was to
covf r a treasury shortage and save the
name of former United States senator
from Pennsylvania, now dead. I am
anxious to go on the stand and the soon
er the better for me. 1 want to get
myself right before the people, for, so
help me God, I am an innocent man."
