SocoRRO EARTHQUAKE.
Now Mexican Town Gets Severe Shak-
Ing Up.

III Pase, Texas.-Socorro, New Mex
leo, south OF Santa Fe, has been badly
damaged by an earthquake. Fifty-two
shocks have been felt since Sunday
morning up to Wednesday night. The
court house is wrecked The build
ings of the School of Mines are cracked
and nearly every residence in the city
is crumbling or wrecked.
More than two-thirds of them at
least are damaged or destroyed. The
court house, which is largely of adobe
and brick, is almost shaken to pieces.
The people are fleeing, but no one has
BEEN Killed The Atchison, Topeka G.
Santa Fe Railway has sent box cars to
Socorro to take people away, and
many have fled already to other towns.
Huge boulders have Jared down or
the railroad track and trains cannot
enter the town. They stop several
miles outside the place.
The water in the hot springs near
Socorro has increased several degrees
in temperature and the inhabitants
lear that the ancient extinct volcano
ten miles from the town will break
out and begin squirting lava again.
The people are fleeing without any
thing, locking up their houses and get
ting out as soon as they can. The
entire surrounding country mas felt
the shocks and much damage has been
done, especially at San Marcia and
Magdalena, but not SO severely as So
corro.
A cloudburst occurred near Carls-
bad, New Mexico, Wednesday, and
three inches of rain fell in an hour
All streams and canons are overflow
ing and there will be much damage
to crops and fields.

PHILADELPHIA WINS.
Next Elks' Convention Goes to the
Quaker City.

DEMONSTRATING one of the most ex-
citing campaigns ever waged within
the ranks of the Ellis, Philadelphia
was finally chosen Wednesday as the
meeting place of the grand lodge in
1907. The result of the vote as it was
officially announced shortly before
noon yesterday stood: Philadelphia,
495; Baltimore, 265.
All the forenoon was occupied in
weighing the two cities in the balance,
and it was not until nearly noon that
final result of the contest was an
nounced. For just a second after the
teller had given the figures there was
a breathless silence. Then the crowd
broke loose. With roar which shook
the windows of the building they gave
a mighty cheer:
"Hurrah for Philadelphia"
Then another rousing shout, and the
Philadelphia delegates and their boost
ers arose and filed out of the room. The
word had preceded them to the street
in front of the opera house, however,
and already Cooks Drum corps had
struck up the tune: "Therell Be Hot
time in the Old Town Tonight"
The Philadelphia bunch of boosters
were all there, some of them being
compelled to await the glad tidings on
the outside. But when it did come they
proceeded with their part with alac-
rity. With Cooks Drum Corps at the
head of the procession the entire dele
CATION, men and women, numbering
$50, paraded the business streets, ring
ing their Liberty bells and proclaiming
to all the world that There are no
slow Elks in Philadelphia"
The occasion was indeed joyous
one for the Quakers. Philadelphia
was sit" throughout the rest of the
day, and the members were smiling
slyly but happily as they received the
congratulations of their brothers.

"I abused my stomach, my blood go,
out of order and then my face broke out
with pimples and boils," says T. E. Rob.

ton, Pa. "This was over two years ago.
My stomach was in bad shape. After
eating 1 would have to rest awhile or I
would suffer the most severe pains in
my stomach. On arising would often
be SO dizzy that could hardly stand up.
The slightest exertion would start my
back aching so that l often had to sit
down and rest awhile. At times / ex-
perienced pain around the heart which
alarmed me but which 1 suppose came
from my stomach trouble.

pimples and later with boils which con-
fined me to the house week or more at
a time. One day 1 saw DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People advertised in a
pamphlet which was leftat the door and

took several boxes of the pills before all
the pimples and boils left me, but am
now glad to say that my blood is good.

Higbie- Armstrong Highway Improvement act
and its amendments. This map is TO accompa "
the state engineers report to the Legislature
and when approved by that body win establish
the limits under which the proceeds OF the bond
issue viii be expended. The map is based upon
a series Of county maps. showing the system of
highways in each county. which, intercommuu-
eating across county boundaries VIII constitute
the highway system OF the state
This map shows So miles Of improved roads
already completed 1850 miles. plans for which
have been approved by the various boards of
supervisors. and J.4J0 miles whose Improvement
is recommended by the state engineer TO form a
complete system OF improved roads FOR the state.
BY contrasting colors the map shows that 533
towns have adopted the money system of high
way improvement, while 399 adhere 70 the old
labor system whose abandonment the state en-
glneer earnestly recommends.
From reports Of the departments road inspec-
tons II Is estimated that there are about 67.579
miles OF highways in constant use. and 1903
reDorts show also that, exclusive OF the roads
improved under tho Higbie-Armstrong act, about
753 miles Of highways have been surfaced with
gravel. / JO1 with crushed stone. while about
20 O45 have been shaped and crowned. The state
engineer regards the work OF road Improvement
