EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
The Whole Mississippi Valley Receives
 Severe Shasilng Up.

The Whole Mississippi Valley Receives
 Severe ShssilnR Up.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. l.-From tho best accounts the earthquake yester- day came in two shocks The first occurred at exactly 5:12 o'clock. It was a wave movement. The second shock came about thirty seconds later and had a lateral action. Upon the authority of those who were awake at the time of the first shock, there was a distinct rumbling noise at the beginning of the quake" No one was reported in. jured, apd, as far as can be ascer- tained, little damage was done to prop erty. The prisoners in the county jail were probably the worst scared people in Kansas City. The earth's trembling awoke many of them, especially the colored prisoners, and their cries of fear soon had the whole jail in an up. roar. The more logical ones, however, soon spread the real cause of the trouble and the jail became quiet again.
 At St. Louis the vibrations were from east to west and each shock continued several seconds. The operators in the Western Union telegraph office became alarmed and several rushed from the building. The shocks were not ac- companied by any rumbling noise. Clocks were stopped and windows rat tied, but no serious damage has as yet been reported.
 At Charleston, Mo, many chimneys toppled over and plate glass in several store fronts were broken to bits. The brick Methodist church was badly shat. tered and the plastering knocked from hundred or more interiors. In the country miles south the crust of the earth was broken in fifty places and from the Assure water and sand are gushing in considerable volume. The same phenomena are reported in the district still further south and also at Big lake, several miles north of town. This is part of the old seismic region which was overwhelmed and nearly destroyed by an earthquake eighty years ago.
 Dispatches from all over Missouri stated that the shocks were felt, but no great damage was done.
 At Louisville, Ky, three terrific shocks were felt at 5:l5 yesterday morning. The first shock was pre-. ceded by mighty roar, like that of distant thunder. The shock lasted fully twenty seconds, and sec ond and third shock, not quite so violent, lasted about twelve seconds. The vibrations were from southeast to northwest The tall buildings in the city were violently shaken. The Couricr-Journal building rocked heavily and the desks and railings in the counting room swayed as if they would turn over.
 At Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nash. vile. Tenn, and, in fact. all over the Mississippi valley from Chicago to the gulf of Mexico and from Ohio into Kansas, the shocks were m ore or less severe, but no serious damage is re-

Cashmere Shawis.

Genuine cashmere shawls are so fine that one measuring three or four square yards could be stored within the shell of q small walnut. But an even more delicate fabric is manu- factured on the Philippine islands from the fibers of pineapple leaves. To properly prepare the fibers for weaving involves much tedious work. For instan ce, the tiny fibers are tied together by hand to suitable lengths. The weaving of quantity sufficient for one shirt is labor of several years, and so it is no wonder that such a shirt costs about s1,2OO, but the rich planters of Manila and Louzon- shareholders yet-can afford to indulge in such extravagances.- Times Herald

A Man shoots His Wife and Then Blows

 TEEN, O., Nov. 2.-At Green Springs a week ago Albert Fox, aged 2s, parted from his bride of month. Afterward he wanted her to live with him again, but she refused. Yesterday morning he made another request and she re- fused. As she was walking off he drew a revolver and shot her once in the back and second time in the neck. A third shot he fired at her younger brother, who was with her, but the thickness of his clothing saved him. He then pressed the muzzle to his right temple and sent bullet through his brain, causing death. The wife is fatally injured.

 LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. 1.--Prof. L. 1. Blake. of the Kansas university, has discovered remedy and preventive of diphtheria, if the results of experi- ments already tried are to be relied on.

 Six years ago last Spring took severe cold, which settled on my lungs. l coughed and spit blood until my husband was alarmed about me- I told him to go to the drug store and get me bottle of Piso's Cure for Consumption. He did so, and by the time had taken it's contents according to directions I was very much better. He then bought two more bottles, and they cured me.
 In fact, we could hardly keep house with out Piso's Cure for Consumption. My hus- band is subject to a cough every Winter, and he say nothing (and he has tried every cough medicine on the market) helps him as does Pisos Cure.
