cA,JstD BY VOLCANIC ERUPTION
-,,mEs AND FIRE FROM BURN
ING MOUNTAIN DEAD
LY TO ALL.
TREAT LOSS OF LIFE FEARED
,oesEs DUE TO THE ERUPTION
ARE SAID TO BE
ENORMOUS.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-The entire
ooffee zone of Guatemala has been de-
styoved by the flames and smoke from
tho yolcano of Santa Maria. Eruptions
threaten the destruction Of every liv-
ing thing within reach OF the fumes
and fire that pours from the burning
mountain. according to q cable to
Castle Brothers, importers, of this
city received from their coffee plan
tation in Guatemala. Only meager de-
tails are given.
of Castle Brothers, Il wired to our rep
resentatives there, asking for news of
the eruption of Santa Maria, and last
night | received in reply this cable
cram: 1T is true. Enormous losses.
Probably volcanic eruption.
Coffee Zone Destroyed.
Our lives are in danger. Further re-
norts will follow The coffee dis
tricts referred to- said Mr. Hirsch,
are the Costa Cusa and Costa Grande.
They are the finest plantations in the
country. Is the coffee district is de-
stroyed, as the cable seems to indi-
cate. one-third of the crop is most
likely involved.
THE volcano of Santa Maria is To-
Gated between Retalhulen and Que
zaltenango. The towns in the neigh
borhood most likely to be destroyed
are San Felipe, Mezatenango and Que
zaltenango. The volcano has been
quiet for many years.
Il was in the district last April at
the time when earthquakes racked
tha country. No volcanic eruptiOns
accompanied the quakes, however"

A Wonderful Pill.

Freedom, Mo-. Nov. 3d.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
in this neighborhood. 1t is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has cured
Rheumatism right and left. On every
hand may be heard stories of the re-
markable recoveries, and from what
has been stated already, there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodds Kidney Pills will not cure.
One Of those who has already tested
the virtue Of Dodd's Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson of this place, who
says:
Il can't say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me so
much, l suffered very severely with
rheumatism. Five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine l have ever
used"
Usage county abounds in just such
cases. and if the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left
n this part of the state.

MORGAN IN THIS, TOO.

Merger of Electric and Gas Lighting
Companies.
New York, Oct. 81. - J. Pierpont
Morgan's big interest in the North
American company and the recent &C.
tivity of that corporation in purchas-
ing lighting plants in various cities
have caused much Wall street gossip.
1t was reported yesterday that Mr..
Morgan was preparing to consolidate
the North American company with the
United Gas Improvement company.
The latter concern is dominated by
the Widener- Dolan-Elkins combina-
ton, and the merging of the two big
concerns will make Mr.. Morgan arbi-
ter of the electric and gaslighting des-
TIMES of every prominent city in the
United States which does not own it's
gas and electric plants. Mr.. Morgan
has been interested in the North
American company for some time.
His close personal friend, George R.
Sheldon, is it's treasurer. Within the
time the financier became interested
the market value of the concerns
jumped from 100000 to $15,000000.
A member of the firm Of ]. P. Morgan
& Co. said yesterday that reports OF
the merger were premature.

Marriages Expedited.

Only recently the complaint was
made that the preparations for we'd
ding were becoming so elaborate. cost
ly and troublesome that young men
preferred to remain bachelors rather
than undergo the ordeal. In view of
this complaint, it is reassuring to
learn that, owing to the perfection of
system established in the county
building, weddings may now be per
formed there with the greatest dis
patch. A couple, it is reported. may
seek the marriage-license window at
any time in the day. and then depart
f1om the county building man and
wife in the space OF eight minutes
and twenty seconds. The gain over
the slow, old-tashioned wedding. which
requires weeks for preparation and a
whole day for the ceremony itself, is
obvious. A man may now set married
in less time than it takes to ride
around the loop. Some improved
methods of courtship on the lightning
express principle doubtless will soon
be hcoming.-Chicago News.

A SECOND CATHOLIC SEE.

II Will Be Established West of the
River in North Dakota, in a Few
Years.
Bishop Stanley. of the Catholic see
of Fargo, announces that a new Cath
Ollie see will be created in North Da-
kota within three years, to look after
the spiritual welfare of that part of
the state beyond the Missouri river.
Either Mandan or Dickinson will be
made the see city, and the chances IA
vor the latter city, as it is more CEN
trail, and the corner stone has recent
ly been laid there for the third largest
Catholic structure in the state.
The heavy rains of the past four or
five days have put an end to the hopes
of the farmers to rush their fall work
through, and thousands of laborers are
rushing eastward to work in the Min
nesota woods. The newly-settled por'
tions of the state still have much
threshing to do; but it is impossible
to retain the men, and many machines
have been shut down for want OF
help. One great objection the labor
ers have to this country, after the
weather gets cold is the lack or SUIT
able accommodations. In many Sec
tions the threshers are compelled to
sleep in straw stacks and barns. and
the hardship is more than the men will
stand, even with wages as high as IS
per day and board.
The death of A. z. Fcnton of Cass
county removes one of the best-known
farmers in this state. Mr.. Fenton was
an early settler in the Red River val
ley, and owned some magnificent agri-
cultural lands in Cass county. Mr.
Fenton sent his summers in North Da-
kota and the winters in Painesville,
Ohio.
Annie Bondon has sued Fred Hage-
meister, we'll known farmer of Cass
county. for $1,000, for being elected
from the Hegemeister home. She was
the housekeeper. and declares that
Hegemeister threw her and her child
out Of the house. and also called ner

CELEBRATE MITCHELL DAY."
Coal Miners Take Day Off to Honor
Their President,

IneIr FCCStOcnts
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 31.-"Mitch-
ell Day" was celebrated in all the
principal towns of the anthracite coal
region yesterday, and in order that all
the mineworkers might have an op-
portunity to participate in the exer-
cises, the mines we're closed down.
The principal demonstration was held
in this city and President Mitchell
took part. 1t is estimated that there
were 10000 men in the procession.
After the parade a mass meeting
was held at which speeches eulogistic
of Mitchell were delivered. President
Mitchell was the last speaker. He
said in part:
Language is inadequate to express
the gratitude l feel for the great re-
ception have received at the hands
of the anthracite miners, and I feel
that the victory is not due to myself,
but to the men, women and children
who made SO many sacrifices. hope
that there will never again be strike
in the coal fields of Pennsylvania. I
want the union miners to prove that
they are better workmen than the non
union men. 1 desire the men and the
operators to meet. I do not want to
make enemies OF the operators. In
closing I wish to impress you that
membership in the miners union is
the only safeguard. The operators are
not going to pay the bill of the strike.
They will make the workers pay it If
they can, but if not they will make
the public pay it.. 1t behooves the
mineworkers, therefore. to see to it
that they are not made the victims,
and 1 hope you will be true to YOUR
selves and to one another and see to
it that the cost Of this greatest labor
struggle that has ever occurred is not
placed on your backs. Stick by your
union and the union will stick by you"

School Director Appointed.

At the meeting of the Winslow

Tavern Saturday, June 2Sth, John
Dougherty was appointed school direct
or to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of John Watson. Mr..
Dougherty was member OF the school
board two terms and he makes good
school director.
The school board decided to build a
four room school house at Wishaw. AT
present there is one-room school house
at Wishaw and during the last term
the board had to rent hall for school
purpose, as the one room was entirely
too small to accommodate the pupils.
A number of new houses will be built
at Wishaw this summer and the popu.
lation will be greatly increased in the
next year or two, which was taken into
consideration by the school board and
they wisely decided to erect four-room
building. The Wishaw schools will be
graded.
