The provisions Of the bicycle ordln-
ance appear to have been forgotten by
riders as it is common occurrence
to see people riding upon the walks IN
all parts Of the city. The ordinance
provides that you shall not ride to
exceed six miles per hour and yet we
see many who ride at a rate exceed
ing ten miles an hour every day. LII
will and must be stopped or violators
will be arrested and punished under
provisions of that ordinance. Several
ladies have complained at this office
recently about fast riding and riding
with wheels upon the Sidewalks.

THE BELIEF OF A HERETO
CHFIST'S MIRACLES INCREDIBLE
AND UNTRUE.
Professor Pearson Declares the Policy
Of the Methodist Church is One
of JesuiticaI Silence.

Chicago, Jan. 18.-The Record-Her-
aid will say tomorrow: Professor
Charles w. Pearson Of the chair of
English literature In the Northwest
ern university which is conducted un-
der Mthodist auspicies, has thrown a
bomb into the ranks of Methodism in
Evanston, the seat of the university,
by giving out for publication a state
ment of his belief that biblical infal-
libility is a superstitious and hurtful
tradition, the biblical stories of
Christ's bringing the dead to life, of
his walking on the water and of fed
ing the multitude with loaves and
fishes, are mere poetic fancies, jncred-
lble and untrue. Professor Pearson
declares that the policy of the Meth
odist church is one of inactivity, OBJ
.struction and Jesuitical silence on the
views in which the leaders and
scholars of the church have come to
believe, but which are not held by the
body of the church. He says that
most of the present teaching is eva
sive and that most of the Sunday
school teaching is almost farcical and
entirely inadequate.

of Governor Won Bennigsen. Several
gentlemen of high position in the
town Of Syringe, having decided at
the club that the governor ought to be
informed of the gossip concerning his
wife from which they considered there
was ample ground for a duel, present
ed the matter to Won Bennigsen, who
challenged Falkenhagen. A meeting
was arranged ands Falkenhagen fired,
at the count of one. Won Bennigsen
fell without firing once at his adver-
sary. The governors aged father,

reichstag, arrived IN the field soon
after, accompanied by his second son,
who is the governor of German New
Guinea and took the wounded man
away.

that the stealing before the now IA
NOUS order was issued, amounted to
between 500, 900 and 100000 a month
ever since the mine was sold by Mr..
Stratton to the English corporation.
A o of detectives have been en-
ployed by the Independence company
and private detectives from other big

Seattle, Jan. 17.-E. G. Carlson,
night Waterman of the West Seattle

robbers failed to gain anything by
their bold attempt, as nothing had
been left in the safe the night before.

H. L. Henderson Taken Into Custody

of some of his victims. He is charg-
ed with having passed worthless
checks for small amounts about town

check upon an East Helena saloon
keeper. Henderson acted rather queer

thought perhaps he is mentally unbal-

CHURCH FELL ON CROWD OF
WORSHlPERS.
STATE CAPITOL IN RUINS
Violent Shock Occurred at ChiIpan-
cino, Mexico-TeIegraph Service
Interrupted.

Mexico City, Jan. 17.-One of the
most terrible catastrophies in the his
tory of the state of Guerrero is report
ed to have occurred late yesterday
afternoon when an extremely violent
earthquake shock was felt at Chill
pancino, causing a great loss of life,
n injuring many people. Details
from the stricken district are very
meager, but scattering reports receiv-
ed here indicate that probably 300
people were killed and as many more
injured. 1t is known that the state
capitol, the parish church and man
business houses and residences are
in ruins and there is much suffering as
a result of the awful seismic disturb.
ance.
One Of the ediices that suffered
most was the Federal telegraph Of
flee which explains the scarcity of
news.
Meager details finally began to ar
rive here. The telegraph lines and ap-
paratus at %Chilpancino were badly
damaged but the employees, all of
whom were uninjured, quickly pro-
graph Office on the outskirts of the
city. The number of deaths was
greater in the parish church than in
any single place, as a crowd of Wor-
shippers was gathered there for the
afternoon service. The solid masonry
walled roof came topping down on
the worshipers and several people
were killed.
The war department has ordered
troops in the neighborhood to coop
crate in the work of rescue. Until
possible accurately to learn the num-
Der of victims. 1t is belived, how
ever, that this is one Of the most de-
%structive seismic phenomena that has
occurred in Mexico. The greater part
of the population of Chilpancino are
now camping out under tents around
the town, which is five days journey
from the national capital. Earthquake
shocks were felt in many other cities
and towns.
In Mexico City the earthquake took
place at SIT p. m. yesterday, and
was of such violence as to shake the
most substantial buildings. The Pan
American congress was in session at
the time and many of the delegates
were greatly alarmed. The first move
ment here was one of trepidation and
was very sharp. 1t was followed by
an easy o%scilatory movement north
northeast to south-southwest. The
duration was S. seconds. The damage
in this city was only slight.
The state of Guerrero has always
been the focus of seismic disturbance.
Reports received here tonight state
that the shock was very severe at
sChilapa. No casualties are so far re-
ported from there.
The duration Of the C%hllpancino
shock was less than that in Mexico
City, having lasted SO seconds, against
IS seconds at the capital.
Property Loss Immense.
Up to IL o'clock tonight no further
news was heard from %Chilpancino.
The earthquake was also intense at
Iguala, in the state of Gerrero, de-
stroying the parish church and many
buildings in the city and neighbor-
hood. Among the latter was the sugar
mill of General Frisbe, an American.
The mill had just been completed and
fitted up with American machinery at
a cost of 100000. The property loss
is immense throughout the state of
Guerrero!
