LOSS 100000, 900.
That is the Estimate for the City Of
Valparaiso Alone.

Santiago, Chile. Aug. 25.-A conserva-
tive estimate places the property loss at
Valparaiso as a reult of the earth
quakes and fires at $20o, 000, 900. The
mense as not only the residences of the
landed proprietors but the huts of the
laborers have been completely destroyed
and in many places the bridges, fences
and telegraph and telephone posts have
been thrown down. No passenger trains
have arrived here from Valparaiso since
August Is. It is insisted here that the
effect of the disaster in the number OF
deaths and the amount of property de-
strOyed is probably greater than was
the case IN San Francisco. Valparaiso
is the great seaport of the republic and
its commerce exceeds that Of any Pa
cific port except San Francisco. The
entire lower part of the city is COM
pletely destroyed and the loss of life is
felt throughout Chile because all parts
Of the country We're represented there.
Heavy rains are falling at Valparaiso.
making the misery still greater Dona-
tons for the relief of the sufferers are
arriving here from all parts of the
world. Some idea of the state of affairs
existing can be formed from the fact
that a man rode on horseback from Val
paraisO to Santiago, a distance Of so
miles and could not obtain food or drink
for himself or his hose during the entire
distance owing to the desolation pre-
vailing.
Business Is Being Resumed.
Valparaiso, Aug. 25-The minister of
the interior has sent the following dis
patch to President RiescO at Santiago:
Business is being resumed here. All
classes Of the population are taking part
in the work OF repairing the damage.
/ All the committees are accomplishing
! their tasks with the greatest zeal #
fresh meat runs short L shall cause fro
zen meat from Magallaness to be sold.
| Many of the homeless people are in need
Of clothing. Provisions are running
short at Iquique because the supplies
/ have been retained here"
! President Riesco continues to receive
kilograms of coincidence from foreign
governments.
The newspaper buildings were not so
badly damaged as at first supposed. All
the newspapers will appear tomorrow.
There were some slight earth shocks at
p. m. but no further damage was
done.

A CALI FOR AID.
President Roosevelt Issues Pro
cIamatiOn to the People.
Asking Them to Contribute to
Relief of Chile.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 25-President
Roosevelt today issued a proclamation
appealing for aid for earthquake strick-
en- Chile. The proclamation was issued
after a consultation with Acting Secre-
tary of State Bacon at Sycamore Hill
today.
The proclamation reads:
PROCLAMATION
A dreadful calamity has befallen our
sister republic of Chile in the destruc-
ton by earthquake Of Valparaiso and
other localities We of this nation at
this moment see the city of San Fran
cisco struggling upwards from the ruins
in which a like catastrophe overwhelm-
ed her last spring. We keep keenIy in
mind the thankful appreciation we then
felt for the way in which the people of
Europe, Asia and both Americas came
forward with generous offers of assist
ance. In this time of woe of our sister
republic I ask that our people out Of
their abundance now strive to do to
another as others last spring did to US.
The National Red Cross association has
already taken measures to collect any
subscriptions that may be offered for
this purpose and I trust that there will
be a general response.

Hungarians Erect Statue Of
George Washington
In the City Park at Budapest
the Capital.
WILL BE LIFE SIZE.
Distinguished Americans Invited
to the dwelling.
Name of Street viii Be Changed
to Washington.

~ UDAPEST, HUNGARY, Aug.
25.=The authorities of the
city of Budapest have decid-
ed to unveu the Washington
statue under erection on Sep
TENDER 16. and have sent out
Invitations to the mayors of American
cities, presidents Of American univer-
sites and many notable public men Of
the United States to attend. The idea
of raising this statue arose out of the
erection in Cleveland some years ago
of statue to Kossuth.
The Hungary Americans who were
instrumental in bringing about the
erection Of the Kossuth monument
were so cordially supported by Ameri-
cans that they decided as a mark of
gratitude to raise a Washington
monument in the capital Of their ma
tive country. The statue which is to
be full sized, will stand in a prominent
position in the city park and will be
one of the interesting sights Of that
place.
A large contingent of Hungarian
Americans are expected, the official
party sailing from New York August
%, on the Ryndam. In commemora-
ton of the event, the street now
known as Wienoi is to be renamed
Washington street.

How to Save Baby
From, Being Sick
By A MOTHER WHO KNOWS

Every mother should avoid the possi-
bility of sickness Detailing her children
in this season. And, of course, most
mothers do honestly try to avoid such
possibilities, but many do not appreci-
ate the one great essential.
Feed the little folks good, healthful,
pure, strengthening food and there
need not be any fear.
For many years physicians have pre-
scribed malt extracts, which contain a
large percentage of maltese, or malt
sugar. Malta-Vita, the crisp, delicious
whole-wheat food, contains from eight
to ten per cent of maltese.
Malta-Vita, on account of it's large
percentage of maltese, is easily digesti-
BILE and readily assimilated by the
human economy, forming rich healthy
blood, is especially beneficial for chill
dren and it is so good to eat-not at
all like the tasteless variety of break
fast foods-that the little ones always
welcome its appearance on the table.
Mrs. Miles McCormiclz. Of South
Bend, Ind, says: "We had almost de-
SPARED of finding something our baby
could eat without being distressed. He
had, since birth. been a constant suf.-
ferer from constipation and general
arrangement of the stomach and bow
els. Since we began feeding him
Malta-Vita he has improved wonder
fully and is entirely cured of const1-
patton"

NARROW ESCAPE.
Two Drunken Men Fall Into Lake
Madison.
Dof


Two men had narrow escape from
being drowned at Madison Lake yester-
day. They had been drinking to excess.
and hired a boat of Sam Marshall and
rowed across to Point Pleasant. When
near the shore they tipped the boat over
and both went into the water. One,
in endeavoring to keep above water, held
the other under until boy called to
them that it was not deep there and
that they could wade ashore. They did
this and were badly chilled when they
clambered up the bank into the cold
wind. They were taken to Mr.. Mar
shall's place, where they got dry.
Yesterday seems to have been wet
day all around at the lake, for there was
a fight at the station in the evening,
when somebody attacked brakeman,
and several men are said to have fallen
off one of the piers at the village.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a

with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Hall S
