THE EARTH TREMBLED.
Severe Shocks of Earthquake Reported From
the Mississippi Valley.

ST. Louis, Sept. 26.-An earthquake
shock occurred at 1880 tonight. vi
brations were distinctly felt passing
south, lasting about ten seconds. AT
one newspaper office the compositors
left their cases and rushed into the
street. People were awakened from
sleep, particularly at the West End,
and rushed into the streets in their
night clothes. Among those who mi
grated from their beds was Governor
Johnson with his family j. B.
Waters, of the salvage corps, on the
corner OF Seventh and Locust street,
was shaken out of his stool while sit
ting at a switch board. Considerable
crockery and glassware was demol-
ished. 1t is reported, but not authen-
ticated, that wooden stables in the
outskirts of the town were tipped
over.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 2e.-A slight
ond duration was felt at 1905 to-
night.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, Sept ga
slight earthquake shock was felt here
at 1O:51 tonight
KEoKUK, Ia, Sept. 26.-At 1880
tonigh there occurred three distinct
earthquake shocks, which shook
buildings in various parts of the city.
The shocks were OF short duration.

Free Trade and Measer Returns.

The zeal OF those foreign gentlemen
who are in great measure the source
and support OF the persistent demand
that the markets OF this country shall
be opened to the free access OF pro-
ducers and traders the world over, is
by no means confined to their desire
to do the manufacturing for our peo-
pie and the transportation that free
trade policy would make necessary
They are seeking to add to the colos-
sal advantages the further one of
cheapening the food supplies of Brit
ish operatives by fall in the price OF
American farm products.
A fall in prices of such products as
Europe has to buy from this country
would inevitably follow free trade, as
the resulting increase In importations
would necessarily force out of their
present employment hundreds OF
thousands of men now engaged in do
mestic manufacturing and in the as
sembly and distribution of products.
There is no room for controversy on
this point. We cannot allow foreign
ers to do the manufacturing for this
country and at the same time keep
our own people employed in the lines
so many OF them are now working.
Not even the widest theorist in the
free trade contingent disputes this
fact.
Confronted by the certainty of con-
fusion to domestic industries that
must follow the first approach to for
eign free trade, and confounded by the
demand that they shall offer some So
luton for the problem thus raised,
the heralds of the proposed new dis
pensation quite naturally looked to
England for q hint to be used by way
OF answer. And it was soon FORTH
coming from the last living represen-
tative of that trinity OF statesmen
Golden, Bright, Gladstone-especia
prominent in inaugurating the exist
ing British revenue policy. Mr.. Glad
stone, with an eye to the main chance
that has never known sleep when the
interests of his country were gauged
against those OF the outside world,
answered that America should be con-
tent to raise cheap corn and cheap
meats for British operatives, who
could thereby afford to manufacture
more cheaply than now. And forth
with all the free trade shouters cried,
amen! and with the plea of cheapness
they now go up and down the land
asking voters TO close the shops and
factories OF this country until such
time as the upper and neither mill
stones OF enforced idleness and press
ing necessity grind prices down in con-
formity with the notions OF the most
exacting advocate OF cheapness.
The "reformer's' hope is that vot-
ers, by failure to look so far ahead,
may not discover where free trade will
force them until such time as retreat
IS impos sible

Hogan's Wonderful Dog.

al s'pose my father has got the
smartest dog in the county," said
John Hogan, the news agent in the
Erie depot. 'The dog is water
spaniel and there's good many men
who don't know hall as much as he
does. Zone thing he has learned to
do is buying the meat for the family.
He'll take a quarter in his mouth and
60 down to the meat shop and get g.
pound of shoulder steak, give up the
quarter but wait till he gets ten cents
change.
--p.. Why don't your father give
him lust the fifteen cents, so he won't
have to bother with waiting for the
changer" interrupted the Evening
Chronicle reporter.
"WeIl, my father did that once"
said Hogan, ''and the dog dropped a.
nickel out of his mouth and he would
never 60 to the meat shop again with
more than one piece OF money, so they
have to let him take a quarter.
"One day the meat market man
tried to put off on the dog a ten cent
piece with a hole in it but the cute old
fellow spit it out Oh the floor and
wouldn't stir "A step until he got 81
good dime. They used to try all sorts
OF ways to fool him, but finally the
market man thought he'd try him
on the short change racket and one
day gave him a nickel instead of a
dime. They had been fooling with the
dog so much that he lost all patience,
and so when he found that they were
trying to beat him out OF five cents
what do you think he did?"
Took the butcher py the neck, 1
suppose" said the reporter.
"Naw," exclaimed Hogan. He
amt none of your common biting
dogs! What be did was this: He
walked light out of the shop, stopped
a policeman on the street, took him
by the coat, led him into the shop
right straight up to the man who had
tried to cheat him out OF his right
change, as much as to say, Here,
want you to arrest that felloww
"The butcher understood what h'
meant in a second and gave the dol
his right change, and the smart olC
chap marched home with his mea
. and his dime with an air that said a.
; plain as words that you couldn't foo
him. There amt anything can bea
that dog"

Effects of the Mckinley Bill.

Advices from foreign wool markets
indicate that notwithstanding the de-
preston in some OF the European
wooden manufacturing districts, prices
for wool suitable for America have
been maintained. The future OF Ameri-
can wool seems likely to be determined
by the London market for the re.
mainder OF the year. If no decline
takes place there, present prices in
America promise to be fully sustained
if not improved. While the Mckinley
tariff bill has proved preludicial to
foreign manufacturers, who are max
ing every effort to keep prices as low
as possible in order to regain the
American maket, it has stimulated
manufacturing in the United States
Some OF the machinery which has
lately been moved from the wooler
district OF Bradford, England, to thi:
locality is now running, and we have
had the pleasure of supplying it with
the first American wool it ever used

Gently wrote to Mr.. Blaine to see if he
could take part in the Ohio canvass
this fall, and today received the fol-
lowing:

cannot take part in the Ohio CAM
paign this year for many reasons,
which | need not give, but ! hope no
effort will be spared to elect Mckinley.
His victory at this time is very inn
portant to the country and party.
He and Mr.. Campbell represent the
honest difference between the two
parties at this time. There is no
lodging and no evasion, and the voter
need not be deceived. The election OF
Mckinley means policy OF protec-
ton and honest money. The election
of Campbell means fres trade and cor
| ruption OF currency. i believe Ohio
will stand by Mckinley. Sincerely

The James Boys" Boys.

New York World: While the son OF
Frank James is a student at Mis-
souri, military academy, the son OF the
late Jesse James is acquiring practi-
cal business seducationin Kansas City.
He is considered an industrious lad OF
much promise. These two facts
ought to interest the people who dis
course on heredity and environment.
Perhaps in former time and another
cline the lawless James brothers
might have consumed their super
abundant energy crusading against
the Turks or fighting for the altars
and fires of their native land, like
Marco Bozarris, instead OF holding up
Western railway trains.

General Custer's Father.

A tan, venerable-looking man stood
upon the platform OF the cyclorama
of the battle OF Big Horn recently and
gazed long and earnestly upon the
canvas. The old man was feeble and
as he leaned upon the ropes for sup
port, hot tears coursed down his FUR
rowed cheeks. The other spectators
in his vicinity eyed him with mixed
looks OF sympathy and curiosity, says
the Detroit correspondent in the Iowa
State Register.
Presently a small crowd of surviv-
ors OF the 9th cavalry, which was COM
manded by George A. Custer during the
war, came up the stairs. Just as the
cyclorama lecturer began to tell in
monotone how Custer, his brothers
Tom and Boston and his brother-in-
law, Lieut.. Calhoun, had been slaught-
cred at Big Horn by the Sioux, the old
man turned to 60, as though the mar
rative had no special interest for him,
when one of the veterans, seizirg his
hand, exclaimed:
"Why, old man, God bless youn'
Then turning to his comrades he said
"Boys, this is George A. Clusters
| father"
Instantly the white-haired patriarch
was surrounded by boys in blue
struggling for the privilege OF grasplns
his hand.
