Mr.. STEPHENS OF Missouri denies that
he put those silver words in Mr.. Cleve-
lands mouth, and says reporter did
it. OF course he did. The average
statesman has faculty of telling re-
porter certain things and if the effect is
not what he expected promptly brands
the reporter as liar. Reporters are
used to this style of men, and the ex-
perienced news gatherer has had his
hide thoroughly toughened.

Editor Of the Gazette.
In relation to the case of menin-
gifts or spotted fever reported from
this place by the Dallas News cor
respondent, April %, will say that
Mr. Casey's little five-year-old boy died of
meningitis as reported. He might have
contracted the disease before leaving Mes
quite, or it might have been sporadic.
There was some excitement in Commerce
at the time and some few individuals left the
place, but don't know Of single entire
family that left.
The reason l did not report it to THE GA
zETTE was because some of the city authori-
ties and level headed citizens suggested
that it would best subserve the interest
of the town not to do SO.
Mr.. Casey reported to me just now that
his family, all, were in their usual good
health and so symptoms or premonitions
of another case .. H. LINDSEY.

DEAR SIR-As member of the noble fra

to call your attention to some items which
appeared in your ''Fraternal Gossip" of the

tanned 1876, 1876 members in good standing,

The Knights of Honor is a grand order,
which is doing much to alleviate the suffer

taffy drew great crowd the other
evening. The half-masticated stuff

his fruitless efforts to bolt it or to get

Speed of an Earthquaka.

The course which an earthquake
runs is usually very rapid, saws the
st. Louis Republic. From the in
slant when the 6rst shock was felt at
Lisbon to the period when all was
over: and nearly 10000 people were
killed, not more than two minutes had
elapsed. Usually from ten to thirty
seconds elapse between the first and
last shocks OF severe earthquake.
But this lightning speed is not always
the earthquakes mode OF travelling.
While Caracas in Venezuela was A.
most totally destroyed and $4,000
people were killed in less than twenty
seconds by thegreat shock OF 1919.
there are cases in which constantly
recurring shocks havelasted for weeks
No odds how brief the span, the most
frightful havoc can be wrought, and
the wave of destruction propaeated
from the most distant regions. The
rumbling earth sound travels at tha
rate of about 10000 to 1000 feet
per second, and the earth wave, on
an average, about 1900 feet in the
same space OF time.
