COlima. Mexico. Jan. 21.-An earth
quake shock began here at a quarter
before - o'clock Friday night, and as
sumed serious proportions at Teni-
mata, many houses being badly in

wrecked There was great cOnsteTna-

scme barely escaping with their lives.
Seven people were killed outright and
GO were wounded, and are being cared
fCr by local surgeons.
1t was reported that the volcano had
burst inc eruption, but it now ap-
pears that the phenomenon was con-
fined to subterranean manifestations.
Local scientific men believe that the
earthquake travelled from under the
Pacific ocean, and that when news
reaches here from the coast there will
be interesting details.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciatic
or infammatory rheumatism will agree
that the infection is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief. 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlains Pain Balm

rheumatism and hundreds bear testl>

When reading King Richard III we
take some interest in the subordinate
characters Of the play. The Lady Anne,
Queen Elizabeth, Queen Margaret, the
young princes, Buckingham. Lord Riv-
ers, Hastings, etc, all enlist our SYM
pathies more or less. But when we see
King Richard III" played our whole
interest is conferred upon the king him
self. He then becomes, what he really
is, one of the greatest, most marvel
Gus, most astounding creations in the
whole Shakespearean universe. Our
interest in him dominates and tran
sends our interest in everything else.
1t follows. therefore, that King Rich
ard III is difficult role to play. As
in the cases Of King Lear. Hamlet, Shy

tors can do justice to il.

and still there are newspapers which
profess to love the people. which boast
OF a silver record, that never utter a
word Of protest against this admins

a money trust and rob the country for

speech should be read by every man

character of the man himself to sus-

THE ROBERTS CASE.
A Dishonest Fight.
Denver Post)

tDellFtI Etol-J
Tho opposition to Roberts was entirely
partisan in the beginning. 1t was rein
forced by religious prejudice, and soon a
wave of horror was made to sweep over
the country. WeIl-intentioned people pro
tested by the hundreds of thousands
against Roberts. They gave their repre-
sentativeS an opportunity to assume a
well-nigh forgotten role of Righteousness
by making a VicariOus sacrifice of Rob
ertS on the altar of purity.
The dishonesty of the night on Roberts
can be easily SEEN In 1895 he was a can
didate for congress. At that time the lead
ers of the Mormon church in Utah had
agreed to deliver the state TO the ReDub-
lican party, They fulfilled their contract.
as was known they would do Roberts
was opposed by Republicans simply be
cause a Democrat that year. though just
as much a polygamist then as now. In
1898 conditions had changed. The silver
wave had made Utah so strongly Demo
cratic that even the large vote at the die
tatiOn of the Mormon church leaders was
insufficient to turn the state into the Re
publican column. Roberts was nominated
and the night on him was made because
or his pOlySamouS practices. undoubted-
~ in the hope that the Gentle vote could
be concentrated against him and the tim
OrOuS MOrmOns a well bluffed into OppO-
sition to him. Roberts however. never
was the actual choice of the Democratic
party leaders. They opposed his nOmina-
ton. but without success. They support
cd him on his promise 10 explain all the
charges against him. This he failed to do
and having so failed he will receive little
consolation from his former political
friends at home.
As stated the method of his expulsion
was unconstitutional. He had all the. re-
quiTementS Of q representative and II is
surprising that so many southern Demo
Gratis voted against his even being allowed
to take the oath of office. Southern Dem
ocratic representatives have in the past
been OUsted from the house in numbers
when the Republican majority needed in

ten. The Republican side of course. voted

denies having knowingly appointed polyg-
amistS to office. though Presbyterian
