ITALIANS BURIED
UNDER HOMES
Hundreds Perish in Earth
quake in CAL
abria.
VILLAGES ARE DESTROYED
Number of Known Dead Up to Pres
emit Time is 347-Distressing News
Continues to Pour in From All
Quarters-Troops Sent to Aid.

Rome, Sept. 9.--All Italy Is suffer
ing from terrible depression because
of the news from the south, where
one Of the worst earthquakes ever ex-
perienced occurred yesterday. AL
though the earthquake was felt all
over Calabria and to a certain extent
in Sicily, the worst news comes from
Pizzo and Monteieone and from eight
cen villages which are said to have
been completely destroyed. Accord
Ing to the latest news received $40
persons have been killed and n great
number injured. 1t is as yet impossi-
BILE to even estimate the property
losses.
yesterday morning 1t lasted for
eighteen seconds at Catanzaro and
soon thereafter was felt at Messina,
Reggie, Monteleone, Martinano, Stef-
avoni, Piscopio, Triparni, Zafmaro,
Cessaniti, Naido, Olivadi and other
points.
Scenes of indescribable terror en-
sued. Women aroused from their
sleep rushed half clothed into the
streets, screaming with fear, carry
ing 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
favorite saints for protection. The
cafes were taken by assault by the
strangely CARRIED crowd, but as day
light broke without repetition Of the
earthquake, the crowd gradually melt
ed away until by 8 o'clock the streets
had almost assumed their normal ap-
pearance except in the ruined vii
lagos where the inhabitants had no
home to go to. The general confus-
ion was added to by dreadful cries
from the jails where the prisoners
were beside themselves with fright
and in some cases mutinied, but for
tunately all the prisoners were kept
within bounds.

SITUATION is IMPROVED.
Troops Are Arriving and Worst is Be.
IieVed Over.

st. Petersburg, Sept. I'm. Pappe,
the st. Petersburg representative of
the Baku bourse, said to The Associ-
ated Press yesterday that the situa-
ton at Baku continues to show dis
tinct improvement. kilograms re-
ceived by NJ. Pappe from the oil men
report the steady arrival of troops,
five further battalions having reached
Baku, and the worst is believed to
be over. Later reports show that in
addition to the refneries in the
"blacktown" district about 30 per cent
of the oil property in the well dis
trict escaped.
A lamentable feature of the situa-
ton, according to M. Pappe, is the
condition of the workmen, many of
whom are without sufficien. clothing
and utterly destitute.
NJ. Pappe paid high compliment
to Finance Minister Kokovsoff for the
energy with which he acted since the
uprising. The minister visited the
emperor twice, to lay before him the
gravity Of the situation, as the result
of which his majesty twice telegraShed
to the yiceroy to spare no efforts TO
protect this important industry.

YOUNG SCHAEFFER
is IN SINGAPORE

Iowa City, Sept. Sin a measure
at least, the long time mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of George
s. Schaeffer, son of the late Presi-
dent Charles A. Schaeffer of the
State university, has been solved His
mother and sisters have found him
in Singapore, India, where he is a
non-commissioned officer in the Brit
ish army. Some months ago Mrs.
Schaeffer, who is living in the east,
received information that led her to
believe that her son had gone to In
dia. She Immediately took up the
trail and followed it persistently,
with the result that she has received
letter from him explaining his
whereabouts and something about his
actions following his disappearance.
Whether he made known his motives
for leaving so strangely is not known;
at any rate, no motives have been
given by his relatives.
Young Schaeffer's disappearance,
Sept. 2, 1902, caused distinct SEN
sation, not merely in Iowa.. where he
was we'll known, but also in Phila-
delphia, whore he had located in the
practice of law. He had graduated
from the State university and from
the University of Pennsylvania law
school with honors, and his marked
ability had already won for him a
considerable measure Of success in
Philadelphia. His financial affairs
were not entangled, and he had
comfortable competence for a young
man; nor could it be learned that he
had any personal affairs to prompt
him to disappear as he did.

ADVANCE OF THE
CHOLERA IN GERMANY

Berlin, Sept. S.-An official bulle
tin just issued announces that fifteen
new cases Of cholera and six deaths
were reported during the twenty-four
hours ending at noon yesterday, max

The war Office, instead of sending

STA early in October, will delay the

GAS IN LOUISA COUNTY.
Belief Exists That There Is An mex,
haustible Supply.

Wapello, Sept. 9.-W. B. Shella-
barger, living just west of the old
Let's place in Grandview township,
has a fine flow of natural gas on his
farm, with a pressure of sixteen
pounds, as measured by steam
gauge. He uses it for two stoves
with no perceptible effect upon the
pressure exerted. There seems to be
quite an extensive gas field in that
region, as it has been found within a
radius of several miles. The internal
disturbance which threw up the hill
known as "Hogback," just across the
river from WapellO, may have formed
a natural gas reservoir somewhere in
that region. 1t is more than possible
that it may be found in large quanti-
ties in the not far distant future.
The fact that gas has been found
within a considerable territory shows
that it is not merely a pocket" but
an extensive formation. Parties
from Kansas are now boring for oil
and gas near Muscatine, and think
there is every evidence of it's pres
ence in large quantities.

Arm as Result of Accident.

the trigger of a shotgun last even
ing, Carl, the 17-year-old son of w.
II. Garmoe, was seriously wounded a
mile west of town while returning

led by a school friend, Lester Rod
rick. The boys were in buggy and

the left shoulder and fears are en-
tertained for saving the member.
The young man was taken home,
where he Is resting easy.
