SWALLOWED A CITY.
An Earthquake Destroys the Town
of Kuchan, in Persia.

A special despatch from Meshed brings
further details OF the earthquake that oc-
Cured at Kuchan. in the northern part Of
the province OF Khorassan. Persia. The
town was completely destroyed, and the loss
OF life was immense.
Great crevasses were opened In the earth.
through which water flowed in torrents.
causing The Atrek River to overflow its banks.
The fertile region around the city was inun-
dated, and the large gardens AMI extensive
vineyards were swept out OF existence.
The people Of Kuchan had no chance 10
save anything. The shock was so severe that
the largest houses in the town. including the
residence Of the Governor. were almost in
stantly toppled over, crushing hundreds OF
people TO death.
The town had population OF between 90
600 and 25. 900 persons. and II is thought that
at least 1000 pershed Many persons were
carried away by the flood that flowed down
the valley.
A short time after the disturbance the en-
tire water supply Of the town disappeared.
The people who we're not injured fed panic
stricken 10 the Ala Dagh Mountains, leaving
the injured to care for themselves as best
they could. The district IN which Kuchsn IS
situated is very populous, and II IS fearet
that il has everywhere suffered from the
earthquake and the flood.

UNDER TIE AUTUMN MOON.

UNDER THE AUTUMN MOOASs
Under the autumn moon
How soft the rythmic rune
OF winds that sing themselves to sleep,
Where richly freighted waters Green
Through gorgeous woodlands dark aad deep
Under the autumn moon
Under the autumn moon
When life lies all aswoon.
Far sweeter than the song OF bird.
In summers scented shadows heard,
Is tender low breathed lovers word,
Under the autumn moon
Under theaUtumn moon
Mysterious voices Groom
The strange and half-forgotten lays
That echo dreams ofby-gone days.
Among old scenes fond memory strays
Under the autumn moon
Under the autumn moon.
Ab. once my heart in tune
With thy dear heart in hope beat high,
But now between the earth and sky
lis only soace is a sigh

EDITOR ADvooATE:-Please forward
the enclosed letter to Hon. Jerry Simp-
son and oblige me. We are trying to
get this state into line. 1t is q difficult
matter to organize the state, owing to
the poor facilities for reaching many
portions Of the state, and the fact that
the task OF organizing falls upon the
shoulders Of few who are not able to
bear the expenses incurred. Neverthe-
less it must be done. There is an alarm
ing as we'll as an indignant feeling
perVading all portions of the state over
the efforts of the administration to cater
to the demands Of the plutocrRts.
The bourbons who voted for the rein

swearing over their mistake. What will
be the outcome Of the financial dalema
is matter of mere conjecture.

The convention organized with W. FL.
Bennington as chairman, L. L. Hopkins,
secretary and L. A. Dolmsn, assistant
secretary, and the committee on per-
msnent organization did not recommend
any change in the officers. While the
committees were at work short speeches
were made by Hon. John G. Otis, Cyrus
Corning, G. G. Clemens, W. L. Brown, Of
KiDgman, and Judge Bashore, of Pratt,
each of whom appeared in response to
calls from the delegates.
A deep interest was taken in the se-
lection of candidates aud the best Of
feeling prevailed throughout, most Of
the delegates seeming to realize the inn
portsnce Of choosing good and reliable
men az nominees.
The resolutions adopted were strong,
and pledge the convention to the
national ard stlte Peoples party
platform; they call attention to the pres
ent financial condition Of the country,
and recall that part of the Omaha plat
form which declared the nation is on
the verge Of material ruin," and that
"a vast conspiracy against mankind has
been organized on two continents and is
rapidly taking possession OF the world" !"
They express thanks to the voters Of the
democratic party for their assistance in
hurting from power the republican party
which had converted the state govern
ment into mere subordinate department
OF the railroad companies OF the state
and an instrument Of the usurers, and
be0s them to remember that it was not
only the republican party that was at
tackled, but the conspiracy OF the rich
against the poor; that the only difference
between President Cleveland and his
predecessor 10 that the latter is more au-
dscious in his attempts to serve his mas
ters by running the people. They declare
the Peoples party in sincere sympathy
with the trades unionists of the city, "Rs
shown by past acts which speak palmer
than wcIds," and add: ave remind our
city brethren that the w0rkingmen Of
the state hsYe for ihe first time state
government in genuine sympathy with
the labor movement; that the poorest
aud humblsst citizen Of Kansas can 20

them this state government, despite the
adverse votes Of many workingmen
themselves" that the legislature which
gave them the anti Plnkerton and other
desired laws was attacked by armed
violence and overthrown by republican
court They call upon senators and rep.
resentstives in congress to stand firm for
the restoration Of silver and for q better
monetary system. The resolutions also
declare in favor Of the woman's suffrage
amendment, and in favor Of the people
voting their instructions to the leglsla-
ture in regard to the election of United
States senator, and call upon the state
officers for a stricter enforcement Of the
prohibitory law.

Phil Armors Philanthropy

est and most discerning Of employers,
has worked great reformation in the
ranks of his employees.
The following story Of Mr.. Armour is
related by correspondent Of the Chi
csgo Tribune:
"The big packer is firm believer in
the Kelley cure and has sent at least 100
Of his employees to Dwight. Several
months ago one Of his clerks went to the
! Office in the morning with the glaze Of
intoxication still in his eyes, Mr.. Ar
mour noticed his condition, but said moth
ing until later in the day. Then he
called the young man into his private
Office and demonstrated with him. The
clerk promised to mend his ways and
for q time Rbstained from all intoxicRt-
ing drinks, but the taste was too strong
for him. Again he promised faithfully
to reform and again he broke his word. He
was a man Of brilliant promise and Mr..
Armour took deep interest in him, but
he was finally discharged. Unable to
obtain employment he rapidly drifted
down the grade and pswned everything
the brokers would take so he could buy
whiskey. One day while Mr.. Armour
was walking to his Office he met the
msn-dirty, ragged, almost q tramp in
appearance. Come with me- said Ar
mour, hsiling passing cab. The young
man looked at him with Rstonishment,
but got into the cab and was driven to
clothing store. Armour fitted him out
with new clothes and told the drunkard
to come to the office in the afternoon.
The young man did so and was given q
check for $3.50, payable to the order Of the
Keeley company, and enough money TO
pay his fare Stay there four weeks
was his injunction, 'and if you need
more money draw on me. When you
come back, if you think you are cured, I
will give you your old position; if you
think you are not cured, l don't want to
see you.
The young man is now occupying a re-
sponsible desk in the Office, where he is
willing to work his arms off for the one
who has saved him from the gutter.
The remark is frequently heard among
some Of his convivRl clerks, "don't let
the old man smell your breath or he'll
ship you down to the Kelley"
The Endorsement Of DR.. Keeley's cure
by such men as Phillip Armour, Hon.
John V. FsrWell, Rev. 7. Dewitt Tai
mage, Francis Murphy and others whom
the public know would indorse nothing
they had not full knowledge of, should
be sufficient to satisfy the most skepti-
cal. If stronger testimony is required,
we have only to look about US and see
the wonderful cures accomplished by DR..
Keeley's branch institute at the Ports
mouth building, Kansas City, Kas-, or at
the other Kansas branches in Wichita,
LesvenWorth and Topeka. 1t is said
these four Institutes alone have, IN less
than two years, reclaimed from inebriety
and all the woes accompanying it nearly
800 men and women, while the Kelley
graduates in the United States now
number over 100000, Of whom a very
large majority are permanently cured,
and become wsge-earners and providers
for the family, the most reliable record
