HUNDREDS DEAD in EARTHQUAKE.
Thousands Are Made Homeless is Southern
Italy.

Rome, (By Cable) .-All Italy is suf-
fering from terrible depression because
of the news from the South, where one
of the worst earthquakes ever expert
enced occurred. Although the earth
quake was felt all over Calabria, and to
certain extent in Sicily, the worst news
comes from Pizzo and Monteleone, and
from Is villages which are said to have
been completely destroyed. According
to the latest news received $40 persons
have been killed and an even greater
number injured. 1t is as yet impossible
to even estimate the property losses.
The shock was felt at 2.55 o'clock A.
M. 1t lasted for IS seconds at Catan-
faro, and soon thereafter was felt at Mes
sina, Reggie, Monteleone, Martirano, Ste
faconi, Piscopio, Triparni, Zammaro, Ces-
santi, Mazda, Olivadi, and other points.
Scenes of indescribable terror ensued.
Women aroused from their sleep rushed
half clothed into the streets screaming
with fear, carrying their babies and
dragging along their other children and
calling for help on the Madonna and the
saints
The men escaped into the open with
their families, all calling on their favor
lite saints for protection. The cafes were
taken by assault BY the strangely CARRIED
crowd, but as daylight broke without
repetition of the earthquake, the crowd
gradually melted away until by o'clock
the streets had almost assumed their
normal appearance, except in the ruined
villages, where the inhabitants had no
homes to go to.
The general confusion was added to by
dreadful cries from the jails, where the
prisoners were beside themselves with
fright and in some cases mutinied, but
fortunately all the prisoners were kept
within bounds.
Troops, engineers and doctors have
been hurried to the scene of disaster to
assist in the work of rescue and salvage.
The ministry of the interior sent 1900
for the relief of the destitute, and Minis
ter of Public Works Ferraris left for
Calabria.
According to the latest kilograms re-
ceived here the earthquake caused seri-
Gus damage to houses in San Floro,
where one person was killed.
AT Jonadi 10 persons were killed and
100 wounded.
At Dafina buildings were damaged and
a number of persons were killed or
wounded
At Borgia two persons were killed and
10 wounded. Many houses collapsed.
AT Girifalco houses were badly dam
aged, but there was no loss of life.
All the houses at Stefaconi have been
wrecked by the earthquake. 1t is feared
that a hundred people are buried in the
ruins.
The villages of Piscopio and Triparni
have been destroyed; 100 lives lost.
AT Monteleone many houses were de-
stroyd and seven persons were killed.
AT San Gregoria, according to the esti-
mates, 65 persons lost their lives.
The village of Zammaro is destroyed
entirely.
AT Mileto II are dead and 200 are in
iured.

STRONGER THAN MEAT

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
iicial turn of mind from experience on
the bench out in the Sunfower State,
writes a carefully considered opinion
as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food.
He says:
For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill Of fare.
'The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
Bile necessity in my family's everyday
life.
lit has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive or
disease it is beyond value. / have been
particularly impressed by the beneficial
effects of Grape-Nuts when used by
ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
AS to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
peience is that one small dish of Grape
Nuts is superior to a pound of meat
for breakfast, which is an important
consideration for any one. 1t satisfies
the appetite and strengthens the pow
er of resisting fatigue. while its use in
wolves none of the disagreeable conse-
quences that sometimes follow meat
breakfast" Name given by Postum

A Modern Convenience.

When Albert Bigelow Paine, the ex-
perinced author of "The Van Dwell
ers." was looking about him for a
home in suburban New York before
he found his nest on Long Island, he
was interviewed by farmer who had
house to sell somewhere up the
country. He described the place in
sunset and sunrise and green field and
yellow grain colors, and Mr.. Paine
listened.
Has the house any of the modern
conveniences?" he asked.
"You bet it has," replied the farmer
with enthusiasm.

"Yes. stree; it's got the very latest

half mile of the front door,"

COMMERCIAL kIviLM.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Commercial news continues most sat-
fsfactory, improvement being reported in
almost every case, except the further
decline in prices of securities. Crops are
being harvested under most favorable
conditions, and few weeks more with
out severe frost will put the yield Of
corn and cotton beyond danger.
Industrial progress is accelerated by
the broadening demand for iron and
steel products, textile mills and shoe fac
tories are well occupied, while the de-
mand for material testi6es to extensive
building operations. Considering the
prosperous conditions, labor struggles
are exceptionally few.
"Jobbers in many lines are unable to
handle the business offered by visiting
merchants, although packing and ship
ping departments are often worked
overtime.
Retailers report a wholesome distri-
button of staple merchandise, and there
are comparatively few complaints re-
garding collections.
Some congestions of traffic is noted,
and railway earnings in August were
So per cent. larger than in the same
month of 1904
Bradstreet's says:
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week ending September 7, are I,Io4,-
2I5 bushels, against $I,42o,25o bushels
last week, I,oo5,62I bushels this week
last year, 3,o45,o4o bushels in 1908, and
