The Earth Tren bled.

Los Alamos, CAL, July 31.-A sc.
we're earthquake occurred here at l:2C
o'clock this morning. Every brick
building in the town was destroyed
or wrecked, and windows in almost
every house were broken. No per,
son is known to have been killed,
though there were many narrow es'
capes.
1t is impossible yet to estimate the
loss. The Presbyterian church, a
large handsome brick structure, was
razed. Not chimney is left stand
ing in the whole town. The shock
aroused the people, who fled from
their homes to the streets in a panic
The shock lasted thirty seconds

70 My Friends.

It is with JOY I tell you what Kodol
did for noe. I was troubled with MY
stomach for several months. Upon
being advised to use Kodol, I did so,
and words cannot tell the good it has
done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia
so that he had tried most everything.
I told him to use Kodol. Words of
gratitude have come to me from him
because I recommended it.-George
". Frye, Viola, Iowa. Health and
strength, of mind and body, depend
on the stomach, and normal activity
of the digestive organs. Kodol, the
great reconstructive tonic, cures all
stomach and bowel troubles, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia. Kodol digests any
good food you eat. Take a dose
after meals. J. E. Kaufman.

Wilkesbarre, July 31.-The local

the calling out of troops. They de-
clear the presence of soldiers will en-

be only short time before there is a
general resumption of mining.

Patience Among the Indians.

Patience Among the Indians.
Every one knows how the Indian
can endure snd wait. "Why are there
80 many people at this railway sta
tion!" ''They are waiting," the official
answers, "for tomorrow's train" His
patience indeed goes to make that
dignity which justi6es the eaying,
"There is no vulgarity in India" He
does not strive or cry, be does not as
sert himself by speech or dress. He
is not anxious to seem other than he
is. Quiet and digni6ed, although he
is one that serveth, he is in some re-
spects greater than many he serves.

Els Sight Threatened.

"While picnicking last month my
11-year-old boy was poisoned by
some weed or plant" says W. r..
Dibble, of Sioux City, Ia. "He rub
bed the poison off his hands into his
eyes and for awhile we were afraid
he would lose his sight. Finally
a neighbor recommended DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve. The first appli-
cation helped him and in few days
he was as we'll as ever" For skin

CANADA'S FARM WEALTH.
EngIand's Beef SuppIanted by Domin-
ion Pork.

Herman Whitaker, I'm Ainslee's Magazine.
The tlme-honored notion that Canada is a
land of snow, where the mercury goes into
winter quarters for nine months of the
year, and whose principal products are
furs, logs and lumber, disappears forever
from the mind of the traveller through these
rich and fertile provinces.
But it should never be fogotten that the
winter is one of the Canadian farmers
most valuable assets. The cereals grown in
the north contain more fiesh-forming and
nourishing parts than those grown in the
south. 1t is a well-known fact that the
rains in England. from November to March,
drain out of the land into the sea more
nitrates per acre than are required by a
crop Of wheat. The grip of the frost holds
these Canada nitrates steady until the ger
minating grain requires them In the spring.
Wheat, oats and barley, the latter OF such
nne quality that American brewers curse 10
this day the tariff which excludes ii, are
largely raised Butter and cheese of the
kind which gourmands dream about are
exported in large quantities, 10000 tons go
ing in 1900 TO the British market The value
of the cheese exports rose from $500 600 in
1890 to over s19. 600 in 1900, an increase of
over $l0.OO00 600 in ten years.
A curious incident which throws some
light on the dark ways of the middlemen
occurred in connection with the expectation
of Canadian cheese. The Department of
Agriculture had some of the Canadian ar
ticle traced through the British markets
and eventually found il masquerading as
Cheddar before Montreal epicures.
Fruits of all kinds are grown in the open
air throughout the provinces of Nova
Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. Canadian ap-
pies are esteemed the finest in the world.
The people of the British isles in 1900 took
$4,000 barrels, of which the value was 81
100000. Along the shores of Lake Erie
peaches and grapes are raised in great
quantities, and the finest of pears, apples,
small fruits of every description and sew
eral kinds of citrus fruits are common
from Niagara to the northern border. Nor
does this exhaust the agricultural resources
Of this section. Mighty granted steers md
fat heifers cross the Atlantic in such num-
bers that the roast beef of old England has
become a memory for grandsires TO chuckle
over, while the backwoods hog ends his
days in a British metropolitan slaughter
house. Cattle the hoof to the value of
s., 039, 900 were exported in 1900 TO Great Brit
ain. In ten years il is confidently expected
that the total value of food comm odities
exported will reach $200,0OO0O0, and that
without any material increase in the popu-
lation occupied in agriculture.

DELICATE TASK FOR PRESIDENT
Poles Want Demand Made on German
Government.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
A movement is on foot among the Poles
of this and, other cities of the country TO
hold public mass meetings simultaneously
at which resolutions will be presented and
adopted requesting President Roosevelt 10
represent to the German government that
the steps now being taken to introduce the
German language into Prussian Poland are
unjust and against the ideas of our present
civilization. The movement TO hold such a
mass meeting in this city is in the hands Of
Mr.. Sigmund Stephan and other we'll
known Polish citizens, who represent all
classes and elements among the Polish pop
ulation of Baltimore.
THE greatest indignation exists among
all classes of Poles in this City," said Mr.
Stephan Yesterday, over the action OF the
German government in trying to drive out
of the schools of Poland the language of
their forefathers and 10 substitute that OF
their oppressors. In addition, the Poles re
gard it as an attack on their religion Most
of the Poles are Catholics, and IL appears
that the Punishment or the national tongue
is a yelled attack on their religious opin-
ions. 1t looks as If an effort is being made
TO proselyte the Poles. At least that is
the general belief, and Ii has served to in
tensify the detestation of the Poles in this
country for the efforts now being made to
drive out their national language"
All of the Polish churches of this city
are, according to Mr.. Stephan. interested
in the movement for the holding Of the
public meeting, at which speakers OF prom
inence will be invited 10 participate. The
Polish National Alliance is interested in
the movement on foot throughout the coun-
try. Petitions Will also be got up in con-
nection with these meetings. which viii e
presented to President Roosevelt, also re-
questing him 10 represent 10 the German
officials that their course IN Poland Is re-
garded with disfavor by Americans. The
signatures of not only Poles, but Of Ameri-
can citizens generally, will be solicited foc
these petitions.

QUAINT OLD FIRE ENGINE.
AntiQuated Apparatus Presented to
Alexandria by Washington.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Alexandria never lets Washington's birth
day go by without celebrating it in a most
appropriate manner, the chief observance
being by the members of Friendship Fire
Company, perhaps the oldest one i'm exist
ence, being organized by General Washing
ton on the 18th day Of August. IVA Its
membership is kept up by the oldest in
habitants" of Alexandria, and right royal
time they always have when the ed OF
February comes.
After the company was organized by Gen.
Washington it seems TO have become pop
ular institution, and the membership in
creased so rapidly that Washington himself
introduced a resolution limiting the men,
bership to the seating capacity OF the hall.
those citizens who out of mutual friend
ship" agreed TO carry to every fire two
leathern buckets and one great bag OF
Osnaburg, or wide linen"
When Washington went to Congress in
IVA at Philadelphia, he examined the fire
engines in use there. On his return 10 Con-
gress a year later he bought from one
Gibbs a small fourth-class engine for $50
los, and just before he set out for Boston
Heights 10 become commander-in-chief he
dispatched the engine to the company in
Alexan6ria-which apparatus is still kept
intact.
In the last year of his life a fire occurred
near the market I'm Alexandria as he was
riding down King street, followed by his
servant, slsO on horseback. He saw the
Friendship company poorly manned. Riding
up to a group of well-dressed gentlemen
nearby, he called out, why are you idle
there gentlemen? IL is your business 10
lead in these Matters and throwing the
bride of his horse to his servant. he leaped
off and seized the brakes, followed by a
crowd that gave the engine such shaking
up as il has never known since.
During the Revolution, when the British
came up the Potomac, the Friendship COM
pany manned one OF the gunbOats that
went down 20 meet the enemy, and the
minutes of the company record that one OF
the monthly meetings was suspended be-
cause the company had stopped fighting fire
and gone to fight the British.
The last active service the company per-
formed at a fire was more than twenty
years ago, and though the engine presented
by Washington was purchased at a small
cost, it has probably saved as much prop
erty as any fire apparatus now In existence.
and is OF far more value to-day than when
IL landed in Alexandria, a revelation 10 its
citizens and one of the wonders OF the day.

BOARD OF TRADE AND BUCKET
SHOP.

Judge Thompson, of the United States
quite stir in the Chicago Board of Trade
by refusing to grant an injunction for the
Chicago board against firm in Cincinnati
doing bucket-shop business. Some time
since the Chfeago Board of Trade began
a campaign against the bucket shops. They
were represented as places where the in
nocent were defrauded and often made
criminals by spending the money of other
people In its campaign against the bucket
shops the Chicago Board of Trade scored
long line of victories, one of the results
of which is that memberships in the or
ganization worth $500 or 5000 three years
ago are now worth 5000 and promise 10
be worth double that figure in three years
more. 1t is not a sense OF righteous III
dignation which leads the Chicago Board
of Trade to prosecute the bucket shops
but greed to draw to itself the enormous
trade which the bucket shops have enjoyed
When the matter came into Judge Thomp-
sons court it was shown that the larger
part Of the business transacted by the
board in Chicago, and that for which the
board chiefly exists, is bucket-shop bust
ness pure and simple, which is dealing in
the prices of commodities and not in COM
modities misunderstanding in wind or on
margins. In other words, the lawyers Of
the Chicago Board of Trade asked the Fed
eral Court to enjoin bucket shop from do
ing that which is the boards chief business.
To their surprise the court could not see
the matter in that light. If selling fiat
commodities in large quantities by a board
of trade is a legitimate business, why
should bucket shop which conducts it's
business fairly be driven out of the mar
ket? If the trading of the bucket shops
is immoral that of the Board of Trade must
be, and, as Judge Thompson said. the only
certain way TO stop it is to begin with the
Board of Trade.
1t will strike most people that Judge
Thompson is very near right. The same
thing cannot be gambling in a bucket shop
and a straightforward mercantile transac-
ton in another. Probably the bucket shop
is near to many persons that they lose
all they have where they would not send
an order to the Chicago Board of Trade
because the amount put up is so small;
nevertheless. it is reported that the Board
of Trade has secured the business of the
bucket shops.
We are told however, that it will not DO
to interfere with the Board of Trade, whose
business is the same for the most part as
that of the bucket shop. for the reason
that the farmers would never know the
values in grain and other products if boards
Of trade did not deal in margins. The
great fortunes made in the Board of Trade
at Chicago are made by those VINO deal in
margins. The experienced make them be-
cause the inexperienced will invest and
lose.
