Chicago, June SIN an all-night con-
ference, arranged by the Illinois state

ployed.

ing settlement of the strike of the

jured during the day. Seventy-two
persons were arrested, 10 of them for

ERUPTION IN GUATEMALA.
one Thousand Persons Reported to
Have Perished-PeopIe Receive
Ample Warning.

San Francisco, June Another
city in Central America has suffered
almost complete destruction and hun
dreds of it's Inhabitants. have been
killed by volcanic eruptions.
The steamer Palena, which arrived
Friday from southern ports, brings
the news that the town of Retail.
bulen, situated at the foot of Mount
Tacoma, in Guatemala, has been
buried under a mass OF lava, stones
and ashes thrown from the volcanic
crater, and probably 1000 of its peo-
pie have persisted.
The volcano is about 25 miles from
Champanico, and near the town OF
Tapachulo, which, it is believed, also
suffered severely.
The eruption occurred several days
before the steamer Palena arrived at
Champanico. The vess els officers
were informed by the company's
agent at that place that the volcano
| had shown signs of impending erup-
ton for several days previous to the
| outbreak In fact, Mount Tacoma had
been restless ever since the great
earthquake of April IS, which de-
stroyed the city of Quezaltenango.
For weeks a black pail of smoke
| hung over it's summit and the glare
! from the crater frequently illuminated
the sky Many of the inhabitants of
Retalbulen fed from their homes to
places of safety and these escaped
frightful deaths.
| When the eruption at last broke
| forth in it's full fury showers of lava,
ashes and stones were elected and COW
cred the country for miles around.
The Bay of Champanico was mass
of floating pumice and ashes.
No details were obtainable by the
officers of the Palena, but the loss of
! life was estimated at not less than
| 1000
The same steamer brought a letter
| to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., agents of
the Pacific Coast Steamship company,
from G. NJ Melville, their agent in
| Guatemala, confirming the report of
| the eruption.
| He also stated that since the earth
quake of April IS shocks had been of
almost daily occurrence. A few days
before the Palena sailed a small vii
age near Mount Tacoma was de-
stroyed, but no details could be OBJ
| tanned.
The volcano of Santa Maria is also
stated to have been in a state of erup-
lion.

Great Damage Is Reported from Vari-
aus Localities in Nebraska
and Iowa.

Beatrice, Neb., June THE flood
caused by the Cortland cloudburst
reached this city Friday forenoon and
practically cut off the city from outside
communication by railway. All the
bottom lands and residences along the
creek are under water. No casualties
have yet been reported, but it is feared
there mas been loss of life. A great
number of cattle, hogs and other an
finals were caught in the food and car
ried away.
Clarinda, Ia, June 7.-Thousands of
dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed by heavy rainfall, and the
damage to crops in the vicinity of
the town is inestimable. For time
the residents of the lower part of
the city were panic-stricken, and hun
dreds sought higher land by wading
through water almost waist deep.
Clinton, Ia, June Rock river is
now on rampage, and has over
flowed thousands of acres of the best
farming lands. In many places the
water is from two to four feet deep.
growing crops have been destroyed
and cattle and horses have sought
refuge on higher ground. Highways
have been ruined, bridges washed out
and the damage in this connection
alone will amount to thousands OF
dollars. In some places the river is
five miles wide.

TRADE REVIEW.
Peace in South Africa Will Indirect
ly Have a beneficial Effect
in America.

New York, June 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: peace in
South Africa has greatlyimproved the out
look. Foreign industrial markets will
quickly benefit by the development of that
country, while a return to active gold min
ing will have a helpful influence in none
tary circles. Owing to the present excep-
tional home consumption, producers in this
country may not be able to take advantage
of the opportunity imme diately, but even
the indirect effects must be Der eficial Do
mestic conditions still have but the one
drawback of labor disputes, which have
reduced the earning power of a large force.
Outside the limits of this influence there
is little cause for complaint. Orders are
large and distribution is less interrupted
by the shortage of cars. Railway earnings
for May show an increase of 6S per cent.
over last year and ia per cent. over 1900.

A JUDGES WIFE e=t s"s1 e.1 ..
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
iess---Cured by
Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:
"Isuffered for years with a pain iB
the small of my back and right side.
1t inferfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
fhatI would be cured, as the Doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately a member of our Or
der advised me to try Peruna and gave
it such high praise fhafI decided to try
it. Although started I'm with little
faith, I>fef SO much better in q week
that felt encouraged.
"Ifook it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
enjoy that now. "-Minnie e. Meal
lister
The great popularity of Peruna as
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found IN
many drug-stores. These remedies can.
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and NO
druggist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations OF
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
day without doubt.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
old Minnesota volcanoes.

remains of volcanoes, once active.
are scattered over the whole north
eastern part of the state. Old Mount
Chengwatana, 60 miles north of Mime
apolis, is of volcanic formation, and
Duluth itself is built upon the base of
a huge volcano, the neck and body hav-
ing been swept away in the mighty
transformations of the glacial age.
Taylors Falls is also on ground of vol
canic origin, and in the vicinity Of
saltwater are found huge volcanic
rocks. Mount Chengwatana, in it's
palmy days, rivaled old Mount Vesu-
vius, and was the most remarkable
volcano in the whole of North America.
SiXty-fve distinct lava flows can be
traced at the base of the mountain and
half as many more have been covered
up in the course of years.
Millions of years ago the Minnesota
volcanoes were in active work continu-
ally, but in the several succeeding
ages, before the glacial age, the erosive
and disintegrating forces of nature
came covered with earth, vegetation
and stately pines. Then came the age
of ice. The huge glaciers in their
movement southwark wore off the
threats and bodies of these great fur
naces, obliterating almost all traces of
them, but leaving the bright fresh
rock visible as we have it today.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

In the Red River valley advantage
has been taken of the favorable
weather and great deal of work has
been done seeding barley, oats, flax,
potatoes and some corn, and the seed
ing of these crops is well advanced,
but fax will be seeded on new land for
some time yet. The small grains that
are up are growing splendidly and
stooling well In some counties rain
was beginning to be needed before the
rain of the LIST, which will be bene-
fetal In central and southern por-
tons the small grains are in excellent
condition and they are stooling salts
factorily. Corn and potato planting
is about finished, though in the heavy
soils of the extreme southeast the
ground has been too wet to plant until
this week; generally these crops are
nicely up, and the earliest are being
cultivated. Corn has a good stand,
there having been serious trouble with
cut worms in only small areas. A
great deal of flax is up, and growing
well. Rye is in head. Timothy seeded
last year is failure, owing to the
heat and dryness of last summer, but
the old timothy fields are nearly all
in very fine condition.

indianapolis. July 17.--About 800
delegates were present when the ma
tional convention of United Mine
Workers convened this morning. There
are many spectators present, anxious to
witness the proceedings of what has
been heralded as one of the most inn
portant gatherings of men in recent
years. The first part of the session was
devoted to addresses of welcome by
municipal officers of Indianapolis and
responses on behalf of the union.
The hour for calling the convention to
order was 10 o'clock. Ten minutes be-
fore that time President Mitchell came
upon the platform and was greeted with
cheers. Secretary Wilson, following
close after, shared the applause.
Prompt to a second Mitchell brought
down the gavel and called the conven-
ton to order. Wilson then read the call
for the convention and Mitchell called
for the report of the committee on Gre
dentials.
The report was adopted and the con-
Nention adjourned until 1850.
