climate is as healthy as may be
found in this part Of the state. Our
lands are cheap now and those who
wish TO buy land here should not
be slow about it, for the present
prices are not to be permanent by
any means. The next few years
will surely see the biggest change
come over our county that any
period Of the same duration has
ever known. in its hlstorv. The
sentiment for improvement and
development is growing, and as 1t
grows 1t gathers strength on every

better roads and will make them.

because so many blindly follow the
party leaders and support any per
son or anything bearing the party
brand it is necessary for democrats
to talk to their neighbors and call
attention to the situation.
In some states. the corporations
have carried democrats away on
election day.. and they try 1t IN Mis-
souri. Each democrat is told that
one vote would not change the result
and some yield to the temptation to
take o free trip. No one can afford
to make snch o bargain. The rail-
roads will not give passes for moth
ing and an honest man ought to
resent a pass brlbe as vigorously as
he would amoneY bribe. Let every
democrat be at the polls and see
that the full vote of the party in bis
precinct is cast. Let every demo-
crat endeavor to make coavert and
thus give Stone an overwhelming
majority.
Mr.. Kerens is an affable and
genial gentleman, but the thought
of bis going to the senate and kill;

MONT PELEE RESEMBLES
GIGANTIC BLAST FURNACE.

Fort De France, Martinique, F.
w. l., May 19.--Alarm continues to
bill the island, although no serious
eruption has occurred since Mont
Pelee on May s, destroyed the CITY
OF st. Pierre. The Volcano threat
ems further destruction every day.
and there are many here who be-
l1eve that an explosion even more
serious than that of ten days ago
Will mark the elimination OF the ac-
tlvity of Pelee.
Ashes were spouted in great
clouds from the crater all day yes
terday. The explosion began in
the early morning, when a black
column rose above Mt. Pelee, ac-
companied by internal rumblines
and tremor of the earth that sent
the sea back from the land in pow
erful waves.
SO heavy was the dust that filed
the air that respiration became a
labor, and a fear of suffocation
came upon the inhabitants. Great
alarm continued for more than four
hours and it was not until the cloud
of ashes blew out to sea in the ear
ly evening that confidence was re-
stored.
All last night the summit of Mont
Pelee had the appearance of a gi-
gantic blast furnace, at which great
forces were working. These flames
continue to stream from the crater
to-day, and with such great force
that they are visible from St. Marie.
a village in the extreme north of
the island. Life on the island is all
but unbearable and the suffering of
the refugees who continue to crowd
into Fort De France is extreme.
Despite the precautions taken by
the authorities, footing continues
in the north of the island, though it
practically has been stopped in ST.
Pierre. Soldiers have been sent
out with instruction to take severe
measures if necessary to put stop
to the disorder.
