The course which an earthquake runs
Is usually very rapid. From the in
slant when the first shock was felt at
Lisbon to the period when all was
over, and many thousands of people
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 almost to-
tally destroyed and 10000 people were
killed In less than twenty seconds by
tho great shocks there many years
back, there are cases in which con-
stantly recurring shocks have lasted
for weeks. No matter how brief the
span, the most frightful havoc can be
wrought, and the wave of destruction
propagated from the most distant re.
gions. The rumbling earth sound
travels at the rate of about 10000 to
1900 feet per second. and the earth

RIOTS AT LAREDO.
Efforts TO Remove Smallpox Patients
TO n Pesthouse are Resisted by a Mob
of mexIcana.


Laredo, Tex, Marcel 20.-The work
of removing smallpox patients to the
pesthouse under the direction Of State
Health Officer Blunt was begun Sun
day afternoon. After ten had been
removed the officers encountered a
mob of several hundred Mexicans, Who
menaced them in such manner that
the chief of police was sent for. Mar
shal Barthelow and Assistant Marshal
Idar hurried to the scene and when
they attempted to arrest the leaders Of
the disturbers they were assaulted
with stones and fired upon. Idar was
knocked down and severely beaten
and one of the rioters was wounded.
About 20 shots were fired. A dozen
arrests were made and the mob dis
persed. ~
The health officers resumed their
work, but were soon met by another
mob of 500 or 600 Mexicans, many Of
them armed. AS they could not con-
tend with this force the health off,
GERS desisted and DIR. Blunt opened
telegraphic communication with Gov.
Sayers. The war department tele-
graphed authority to use troops at Fort
Mcintosh. The Mexicans are much
excited and fight is probable when
the negro regulars arrive.

The Sergeant has the following to
say of Pe-ru-na: II think there is no
better medicine on earth than Pe-ru-na,
for catarrh. 1t has cured me. 1t
would take a volume to tell you all
the good it has done me. Pe-ru-na is
the best catarrh cure on earth, and l
know, for have tried nearly all of
them. Respectfully,
"Buck F. Taylor"
Winter weather causes catarrh. Ev-
crybo9y knows this. But everybody
does not stop TO think that winter
weather delays the cure of catarrh. It
takes longer to cure case of cutarrh
in the winter generally, than in the
warm season. Spring is here. Now
Is the time favorable TO the trs tment
of old and especially stubborn cases
