LIGHTNING AT FRISCO.
During progress of Storm,Store is
Struck by Lightning..
Frisco Juue 4.—At about 4
o'clock yesterday morning a good
rain began falling at this place,
accompanied by considerable
lightning and some scattering
hail, but no wind to speak of.
During the rain lightning struck
the business house of Cole &
Cole, splintering one end of the
house and tearing off a part of
the roof. It then went into the
telephone box, totally demolish-
ing it, throwing fragmeuts all
over the house and twisting the
metal parts into all conceivable
shapes. J Z Hill,a young muu who
rooms at the store, and whose
bed was near the phone, hap-
pened to be away from the store
last night, or would doubtless
have been killed, as the bed was
covered by fragments of the
phone and window glass. Crops
were in tine condition for tlie
ram, which will be of greut bene-
fit to them.

McKinney Training School clos
ed Friday afternoon after nine
and one half school months dura-
tion. The liual examinations
have been on the past three weens
and the average is high.
A majority of the student* ex-
pect to return uud the prospects
are that the attendance will be
increased froui the city and couu-
ty.
Miss Mazie Webb, who has been
employed the past year only for
the morning, will take full work
another year. She has charge of
the Fnglish, History and Litera-
ture, and will take a course this
summer at Nashville, Tenn., in
methods of securing best results
in these branches. Her work the
past year has been eminently satis
factory to pupils, to patrons and
to the principal.
The school has saved, to Mc-
Kinney and Collin county, this
term, about $7000, the difference
between expenses here and at
college. And if these students
happen to the same fortune that
their predecessors have done, they
will not lose an hour in the time
it will take to complete a oollege
course.
Prof .Jones will leave about
the 10th inst to take a special
course in methods of teaching in
University of Chicago and will
also carefully study the educa-
tional exhibits at the World's

Prof Jones closed a contract
for the college building for
his school again next term.

A terrible accident happened i
about 5 o'clock Friday after-'
noon in which Miss Dora, the
eighteen-year-old daughter of
Armp Mallow living at No. 34
South Chestnut street, was severe
Iv and perhaps dangerously burn-
ed. She had a li re 111 the buck
yurd, being engaged in making
soup when her dress became ig-
nited and she was soon enveloped
in the Humes
Screaming with pain and fright
she ran luto the yard of Mrs Car-
ter, a nearby neighbor, who see-
ing her dangerous condition, grab-
bed a quilt and ran to her relief,
wrapping the quilt about her.
Her sister Mrs Ida Gossa, hear-
ing her screams also rati to her,
followed by other members of
the family and neighbors
and all did what they could,
but the flumes were nor
extinguished until hor clothing
was burned from her bod v. She
was badly burned about the
hands, arms and buck, and has
suffered intensely. Physicians
are doing what they cau to allay
her suffering.
We are glad to report as we go
to press, that she is resting some
easier with hopes for her re-
covery.
TEXAS ThE FAVORITE
On account of the threatening
weather there was not a very large
attendance at the meeting of J.
W. Throckmorton Camp Ex-
Confederates und Daughters of
Confederacy at the C P church
Sunday uftermon. However
1111 interesting program was car-
ried out. Several good tnlks be-
ing c ude and essays rcud. On
account of the Crosses of Honor
not having arrived, budges were
given, in lieu, to those entitle to
them, they being J W Kerr of
Celinu and C. E Rovster of Vine-
land, as ex-confederates and J L
Franklin as a son of un ex-con-
federate. The good singing was
a feature of the program.
Previous to the exerciscs for
delivering Crosses of Honor, the
Camp was called to order by the
Commander and minutes of last
meeting was read und adopted.
A communication from general
headquarters in reference to the
arrangements at Nashville for the
Re-Union which will take place
011 the 14, 15 and 10, inst, the
programme, hotel accommoda-
tions and cburges, and many other
features important to those who
conteniplute visi'ing the re-union.
Under the head of reports of
committees, C II Lake of the sick
committee, reported the serious
illness of Comrade J B Kerr.
Committee 011 resolutions on the
deuth of Capt. F H Welch, asked
for und were allowed further
time to report.
The Camp elected Miss Mumie
Dowel I us sponsor, to attond the
Nashville lie-Union, and she wus
instructed to select her maids of
honor.
The distribution of certificates
to delegates to the general and
state re-unio^s were made ut the
close of the u^eting.
NEWSPAPER MISTAKE.
Her World's Fair Exhibit Centre
of Attraction.
E W Kirkpatrick came in last
Friday from the World's Fair.
Ho says Texas is the centre of at-
traction among all the states.
Her fruits, flowers and products
of every kind are the earliest and
best. All unite 10 awarding Tex-
as the palm.
In Regard to John Dowell Being
Physically Disqualified.
the
Capt J S Dowell received
following telegram Saturday:
Annapolis, Md., June 3.—
Newspaper mistake. Darlow, not
I, failed physically.
John S. Dowrll.
It will readily be seen from the
dispatch that the news report
published several duys ago of the
failure of John Dowell, Jr., to
pass the physical examination at
Annapolis naval school was an
error, which is indeed gratifying
news to his family and many
friends here. John Dowell is one
of the noblext young men ever
raised in McKinney and every-
body is interested in him.

nent Business Man.
June with its roses has cot
uguin and the fragrant summ
air vibrates to the music of glut,
some wedding bells while heart
utune to life's melody, throb i
un'son and beat with joy to na
ture's own pleadings. The first
Adam felt 110 more need of a
companion than do his descend-
ants ot the present day, and the
daughters of Eve are to he wooed
und won in the same sweet old
fashioned way. God's holy in-
stitution of murriuge, although
ubused, is still held sacred and
dear by many, and the home thut
holds two lovul heurts is a blessed
benediction to any nation, for in
loyalty alone lies harmony und
strength.
Promptly at Oo'clocnThursdav
afternoon the Christian church'
portals swung open to the sweetly]
swelling strains of Flugler's Fes-
tival March, and as it rose and
feli upon the perfumed air the
Organist reveuled tine pbihty in
her consumute interpretation of
this composition. The wedding
procession, led by the four ush-
ere, Dr Metz, Messrs McChcsney,
Stiff and Smith, now entered und
preceded the bridal party to
the altar. Miss Ware und Mr
Rhea, Miss Jenkins and Mr Har-
die (of Dallas) following, formed
011 either side, leaving the center
for the bride and groom who
graced this completed circle and
made of it u beautiful scene. The
bride, Miss Florence Ware, robed
in u dark green traveling gown,
with hat to match, satisfied the
most critical taste with her grace-
ful bearing and modish robe,
while Mr Marshall, uttired in
traveling suit of dark blue cloth
with gruy gioves, called forth ad-
miration for his manly bearing
and Sir Knight uppoarance. They
looked a well mated pail, he,
proud of his jewel won, and she,
trustful of her "Sir Arthur."
The maids of honor in Nile
green mouselines and black pic-
ture huts formed a beautiful set-
ting for the bride in darker green,
while the men of honor in chic
business suits guve u rich back
ground to the whole. Surround-
ed thus by flowers, tasteful decora
tions. loving friends aud low
sweet music filling the air, the
Man of God, Rev Faris, stepper
into the happy circle, clnsped
their hands, listened to theii
plighted vows, culled down God'j
blessing upon their loving heart
and said, "what God hath joineil
together let not man put asunl
der," and thus the man and
man who ente<ed the churchf as
two go out us one. The tfrgan
peals forth in loud and hjappy
strains from Mendelsohn's (wed'
ding march, for Mrs MarsAi
touches the keys with a mast
hand and friends and loved 01
crowd upon the happy pair w
all good wishes and blessings u
on them.
Miss Ware is McKinney's 0
child, girl aud woman, hence
is known to all, and hor talc
and accomplishments are fulli
preciated.
Mr CC Marshall is known
member of the W. O. Br<|
Co., of Dallas, a fine business
tirm of thut phce, but he is also
well known in Sherman, Waco
and Cleburne, whero he has li7ed
at different times, having been
engaged in banking business. A
man of tine business ability added
to other qualities have given him
prestige and many friends. Our
very best wishes go with them to
their Dallas home which they left
for immediately and we with Mrs
Marshall may make as many
friends there as she leaves here.
The rice fell thick and fast aa
they boarded the train and as
thev start out on this new life to-
gether.
May earth's sweetest Joys be
theirs and Heaven's richest bless-
