nnd a succession Of noises were heard
that sounded like immense explosions
The people who had assembled in the
Presby Church for prayer meeting
rushed out Of the church expecting the
walls to tumble down upon them,
There were three distinct shocks In quick
succession, the first being the most severe,
occupying less than half dozen seconds.
They were succeeded by a trembling OF
shaking motion, and not by the usual
swaylng and waving motion.
Telephone messages from country points
Indicate that the shock was felt at many

London, Jan. 26.-Lord George Hamilton,
Secretary of State for India, speaking to-

fully developed but capable of being de-
veloped by an influx of Idle British capital,
Lord George Hamilton said
"a stable exchange attracting that cap
ital could be secured either by International
bimetallic arrangement or by India estab-
fishing a gold standard. The result of
the Wolcott mission showed that the for
mer is unprecedented but the difficulties

RECORD BREAKING
HEAT IN FLORENCE
Thermometers Register over 100
Degrees In the Shade
1T KEPT HOT ALL NIGHT

Never before, so say the oldest
inhabitants, has Florence ex-
perienoed such heat as prevails at
present. A thermometer at Cya-
nide registered l02 degrees in the
shade yesterday afternoon, The
pump house of the United Oil
refinery was just A degrees hotter.
The mercury hovered near 100 all
over town.
Night brought little relief and
for the first time in the Colorado
experience of most people, one
was unable to sleep comfortably
owing to the oppressive heat.
The air was warm. A breeze
stirred up things now and then.
About 7 o'clock an imitation
cyclone blow, but it did not cool
anybody. 1t seemed as if waited
from the prairies of Kansas or
Nebraska instead of from the
natural refrigerators of the Rocky
Mountains.
People sat around the streets
late dreading, to enter the houses.
And yet, through it all, lecturer
lectured in the town hall and per-
spring enthusiasts actually
whirled around in Il dance at
Keller's hall.
This morning at 5 o'clock most
bed rooms were so hot that their
occupants rose and left them. By
6:30 it was as hot in the sun as one
could we'll endure it. On most
summer days it is not as hot at
noon. At Z O'Clock, when the
days work began for majority,
people were perspiring and the
sunny side OF the streets WIS
stunned.
At 8 O'Clock last night thermom-
eters registered 80 degrees.
A few drops of rain fell about
noon and it has been cloudy for
several hours but the humidity has
increased as the direct power of
the sun declined and it is more
Eastern" than ever this afternoon.

A Letter From Clyde Thomas, of
Co. o, Colorado Volunteers
SOME PRETTY WOMEN THERE

a letter was received yesterday
by Miss Rose Hamilton from
Clyde Thomas, one of the boys
who enlisted in Co. b, First regi-
ment Colorado volunteers, from
Florence, from which we take the
following:
1--WE arrived at Camp Merritt,
San Francisco, last Thursday. We
are enjoying ourselves to the ut
most and had very nice time on
the road, only we came through
New Mexico, over the Santa Fe,
and the people in that territory
did not even know our people had
been insulted by the Spaniards.
"There are some pretty ladies
here, and they visit our camp
every hour of the day When we
landed in San Francisco, the
ladies' of the Red Cross had very
nice lunch for us ALL and invited
us in to partake of their hospitali-
ty, which we did with great cheers.
We were cheered on all sides as
we were marched out on the
street, put on board street cars
and taken out to Camp Merritt,
where we now are, about eight
miles out in the west side of the
city. Our equipments will be
here in the morning, uniforms and
money. We get $3.50 per month,
l mean privates. l have been de-
tailed several times to drill men.
I'VE have a beautiful park near
us, which is four miles square. I
don't know just when we will go
on board, but not before the
tenth of next month. We are at
iiiibertyto TO go any pfface we--wisfr
today, for it is Sunday, and we do
not drill today. Any other day
we drill four hours. There are
10000 troops in camp here, and
just as far as you can see are tents.
There have been four deaths in
the past four days, two yesterday
who were Minnesota boys.
"There are 4,500 troops embark
ing today. They are now hauling
their equipment down to the
steamer, and will sail for the
Philippines tomorrow. l like a
soldiers life and do not think l
shall ever do anything else.
"Give my regards to all inquir-
ing friends"
