Five Thousand Lost by Earthquake

A despatch from Ashkabad, Rus
sian Turkestan, OF December % says:
even the worst of the earlier reports
of the recent earthquake disaster at
Andiian quite underestimate the ap-
palling loss of life. A telegram to-
day from the scene of the catastro-
phe puts the number OF victims IN
the native quarter at 1000. Already
800 corpses have been disinterred
from the ruins. The state treasury,
containing 100000 roubles, is in
ruins and excavations to get the
money are being carried on under the
supervision of strong Gordon OF
police. Water in the wells has
disappeared and a general subsidencs
of the site of the town is feared
Large numbers of laborers are being
sent to excavate. The shocks con
tinue with increasing violence. She'd
for the destitute are being erected q
rapidly as possible. Free SOU
kitchens have been started. 1t
estimated that 5000 people hav
been killed.

ABOUT ADVERTISEMENTS
They Help to Make the Newspaper
More Successful.

The following paragraph is from
an exchange and fits the occasion
perfectly and we commend it to our
readers: If our readers find our
pages crowded with advertisements
today kindly remember that it is
largely the advertiser who make the
newspaper to success. We could
publish but very Insignificant sheet
without the aid of our advertisers
The more advertisements the better
paper-fuller in its dispatches, more
costly in its literary and editorial
columns, and more artistic in it's
Typography. But even the advert
lsements are good reading these days,
and thousands scan them carefully
from one end of the paper to the
other. As Mr.. Charles Hopkins
Clark of Hartford, Conn, recently
said in one of his lectures: cit is In
teresting to note that advertisements
