One would never suspect from his APP
pearance that Mr.. Ross is nearly a
years OF age. He is wonderfully active
and rarely misses day from his office.
Mr.. Ross is u Mason and a member of
the First Presbyterian church He was
q sufferer from dyspepsia until he heard
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. The follow
ing is his opinion Of the remedy which
has done so much for him:
.'For several years, /, Thomas L. Ross,
also my wife. Lydia L. Ross, both of
Topeka, Kas.. suffered with that terrible
malady known as dyspepsia or indiges-
ton.
1--WE commenced to use Kodol Dyspep-
sia Cure on the recommendation of our
druggist. After taking one dose, and in
side of short time. all of those terrible
pains and dyspepsia torments had
PASSED away. My appetite, also my
wife,s, came back and our food could be
enjoyed as when we were q. am now
turning Il years of age.
Il have not suffered one day with my
stomach since commenced to use Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure, and / recommend it to
all of my fellow citizens to do you good,
and endorse Kcdol Dyspepsia Cure"

ONE CITY ABANDONED.
Further Particulars Received on Earth
quake in Guatemala.

San Francisco, Cal, May 13.-Fur-
ther particulars of the terrible earth
quake in Guatemala on April Is were
received here yesterday in latter from
e. X Pearse special agent of the KOS
mos steamship line at Guatemala. The
letter, which is dated April "a, says
public subscriptions have been started
by the Guatemalan government for the
relief of the homeless.
1T is feared" says Mr.. Pearse. that
the loss of life is very large, but 1T is
impossible to form any idea of the
number of deaths until the ruins shall
have been cleared away. The city OF
Ccos has been almost knocked to pieces.
the coffee warehouses, agency house,
hotel and other structures being de-
stroyed 1t is impossible for me to con-
vey any clear idea of the true state OF
affairs. There is hardly coffee plan
tation of any description that has es-
capped. Machine houses are down and
heavy losses have been incurred on
every side.
The city of Quezaltenango is being
practically abandoned, and it has been
necessary to send in thousands of In
dams from all parts with provisions, as
the survivors are really starving.
Several prominent Germans are
among the dead, the list including Os-
car Debans. Enric Hermann and Mrs.
Kildraar. Debans and Hermann were
wealthy and influential coffee growers
of Guatemala"

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 1S.-Law-
renee Bressano, fireman in the Allan

Michael Tornish, the chef with meat

buckle of belt.

MEXICAN VOLCANO AWAkEs.
Sudden Activity of colima Gives Cause
for Apprehension.

Guadalajara, Mexico, May 1S.-The
.Colima volcano shows strong indica-
tons of a great eruption, and the in
habitants living in the valley at its
base are moving to safe distance from
the peak, from which smoke and puffs
of flame have been belehing forth for
several days past. Mount Colima has
been showing indications of renewed
activity for several weeks past, sand
this threatening condition caused the
work of constructing the extension of
the Mexocan Central railroad to Man
zanillo. passing near to the base of the
mountain, to cease temporarily. Since
the catastrophe at ST. Pierre the people
of the Colima district are very uneasy.
and 1t will take very little demonstra-
ton on the part of the volcano to pro-
duce a panic.
The route of the Mexican Central
extension will probably be changed in
order to avoid any possible disaster
that an eruption might bring.

IRRIGATION LEGISLATION.
Measure Will Probably Be Reached ir
a Few DAYS.

Washington, May 13.--Mr. Dalzell,
chairman of the house committee on
rules, has promised the friends of irri
cation legislation that the. {irrigation
bill Will be considered within the next
two weeks. The measure will be called
up afterethe disposition of the anarchy
bill and one other measure which has
not yet been decided upon.
The irrigation advocates now believe
that they will have good majority for
their measure. Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
will lead the opposition, but it is be-
lieved now that the support assured fof
it from the west and south will be suf-
ficient to secure its adoption.
Congressman Curtis. of Kansas, has
joined the ranks of those who propose
to make vigorous fight for the adop-
ton of the bill, and will probably ask
the Kansas republicans, in their state
convention to be held in Wichita on
May Is. to pass a resolution indorsing
the bill, If it has not been disposed OF
by the house before that date.
