New Yory, Aug. 17.-Valparaiso,
Chile, has been severely damaged by
an earthquake. There may have been
heavy loss of life. Only meager in
formation has filtered through since
the first reports early Friday.
The first intimation of catastro-
phe came in private dispatches about
7 a. m. These said the disturbances
had been terrific. Many buildings
were said to have been wrecked, and
not a house was reported as having
escaped damage
FIRE BREAKS OUT.
Fire, the reports said, had broken
out in the city At that hour it
was feared there had been many cas-
ualities.
In the course of the next hour
dispatch said the cable lines were
working as far as Valparaiso hut" )"
the cable building on the seashore out
side of Valparaiso. All land lines to
the interior of Chile were then down.
The operator in the hut feared the
disaster would equal that at San Fran
cisco.
FEARS FOR THE CITY.
No further bulletins were received
till 10 a. m. The quake was then
said to have been first felt at TAO
p. m. Thursday. There were several
severe shocks, followed by con-
fagration. How far the damage had
extended was not then known.
A half hour later the operators who
had repaired to the hut were reported
to have returned to the main office in
the city. At that hour it was assumed
that quiet had been restored, but as
no communication was to be had later,
fears for the city rose again.
AS the morning advanced the Chill
Fean consuls office was besieged for
information, but seven he had receiy-
ed none.
So EQUALS SAN FRANCISCO.
London, Aug. H.-The seismic in
struments in the observatory of Pro-
fessor Milne, on the Isle of Wight,
recorded the earthquake at VALPARAISO
at about 1890 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
The force of the shocks as regis
tered on the Isle of Wight equalled
the earthquake at San Francisco. The
tremors were registered in every in
strument throughout Europe.

They then turned tricS on the enc
my which was probably the cleverest
strategy Of the day, In running over
a steep hill they came to barn
while the pursuers we're still out of
sight and instead Of keeping the road,
hid behind the building. The unsus-
pecting blues rushed past them at
full speed and were directly in line
of the rest of the company's fire, who
were concealed by a thick hedge.
Had they been using real bullets
instead of blanks the whole detach
ment would have been wiped out, and
they were consequently ruled out by
the umpire.
Owing to the excellent position of
the browns it was plain to everybody
that they had secured the best of the
day, and at about 1 o'clock the man
euvers we're declared off.
Notwithstanding the heavy rain in
the morning the day was hot, and
clouds, of dust were raised bys sthes
troops, but the boys were game, and
there was comparatively littIex for
the hospital corps to do. A few accf-
dents saresilted from careless shooting

exceptions, very light 81 a

easy stages and the second brigade
arrived in camp, tired and famished
at 8 o'clock But as they were ex-
pected sooner their dinner was ready
and waiting. so that mess cal! was
given Immediately and the way the
boys kept the cooks going was
sight.
OFFICIAL DECISION.
The official decision was given
Thursday evening as follows: While
not total victory it was decidedly
in the advantage of the Second bri-
gade under General Speaks. The
Eighth destroyed three field pieces.
The wsgon trains were also captured
and battalion Of the Sixth Infantry
was ruled out. They were directly
under fire and made no effort to de-
fend themselves. The Fifth regiment
Jared the worst and was the only
regiment of the Second division that
did not get decision over the enemy.
Company d, Eighth regiment, in
command of Captain Limb, was COM
pletely lost and returned to camp an
hour after the others. This is not
surprising as the division was scatter
ed over several miles of territory
which is covered with roads in all
directions.
The plans for Saturday were not given
out and will probably be withheld un-
til the march is started, but the pro-
gram given out Monday called for
maneuvers by divisions, which would
be the largest held during the en-
campment.
| Should Governor Harris and party
remain it is generally supposed that
this program will be carried out In
that case. rations will be carried and
the maneuvers will be continued all
day.
Large crowds came on all the cars
Friday and many more are expected
Saturday and Sunday for the grand

Chicago.-With a deficit in its &C,
counts Of close to a million dollars
and with the whereabouts of two OF its
highest officials unknown to the au.
thorities. the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank, one of the largest outlying banks
in the city, was closed Monday by
State Bank Examiner C. c. Jones.
The failure was responsible for the
death of one Of the depositors and led
to the suicide of another man who a
month ago had placed his earnings OF
n lifetime in the institution fer safe
keeping.
In the excitement following the an
nouncement of the failure, ]. C. Wiser,
an official of the Royal League, who
had on deposit in the bank funds of
that organization, fell dead of heart

pended payment, went to the rear of
his store and shot himself. He died a
few minutes later, while being taken
TO the hospital. Cashier Herring is

Books FOR GREAT COMMANDER.
Library Napoleon Ordered Comprised
Many Subjects.

In 1908 Napoleon formed the idea OF
having q travelling library in order to
make his hours of intellectual recre-
alton independent Of the exigencies
of a campaign or the delays of q
courier.
The proposed library was to form
about thousand volumes. The books
were to be Of small duodecimo size,
printed in good type. and without mar
gins in order to save space. They
were to be bound in morocco, with
flexible covers and limp backs. The
boxes for their conveyance were to
be covered with leather and lined with
green velvet, and were to average
60 volumes apiece. in two rows like
the shelves in library. A catalogue
was to accompany them, SO arranged
that the emperor could readily find
any desired volume The distribution
Of subjects was as follows: Forty
volumes on religion. 40 of epic poetry,
40 OF the drama, 60 volumes of other
poetry. go volumes OF history and
100 novels. IN order to complete
the quota" ran the instructions, the
balance shall be made up of historical

WRIT IS REFUSED
BY JUDGE MALONE IN DENVER
FRANCHISE CASES.
JUDGE LINDSEY MAY GO on

County Court Not Restrained From
Proceeding to Take Testimony In
Regard to Alleged Fraudulent
Votes In Franchise Election.
Denver.-Judge Booth Malone in the
District Court Monday refused to
grant the application for writ of pro-
hibition to prevent Judge Lindsey, in
te County Court, from taking testimony
in the franchise election contests. In
doing SO he gave the Tramway and Gas
Company corporations thirty days in
which to perfect their appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
In his decision Judge Malone says:
Il cannot under the law and the
record Of this case. grant the writ Of
prohibition.
First, because 1t does not clearly
appear that the County Court II with
out Jurisdiction.
Second, because it does not clearly
appear that this court has the jurisdic-
ton to issue the writ in this case.
Third. because the petitioners have
plain and adequate remedies at law,
~ dppSdi, VIII vi Slioi anu
Fourth, because it does not appear
that justice demands it, or,
Fifth. that any great damage or in
jury will or can result to petitioners
unless the writ is issued; and,
Sixth, because 1t does not appear
that the writ Is necessary or war
ranted by law.
"The motion to vacate the rule or Or
der to show cause and to dismiss the
petition and cause, are hereby granted
and 1t will be SO ordered.
Il only desire to say in closing, that
/ regret exceedingly the prolongation
Of the unseemly and bitter wrangles
and controversies in our courts and
community. They neither reflect credit
upon the courts nor upon the state. l
do not want to see anw injustice done
to the petitioners, neither do want to
see any injustice done to the people.
THE petitioners are in no danger OF
losing any lawful rights or interests
they may have in the premises. The
Supreme Court can lawfully review the
proceedings in the County Court and 1
think also the proceedings in this
court, and that court will doubtless cor
rect any errors made in either court.
IF the petitioners are lawfully and
uoheStly tntltleu 10 lue lTduCHlseS
claimed by them they ought to have
them. If, however. they have not law
fully acquired them and are not justly
entitled to them, they ought not to
have them.
"The question ought to be settled
and settled speedily, and not left to be
bone of contention for years to come.
1t will be better for the petitioners and
better for the people to have the mat
ter settled. The people will be better
satisfied and the franchises will be
worth more to lawful owners to have
their integrity established and unques-
toned. But the matter should be set
tied right, for questions are never set
tied until they are settled right. How
ever this may be, do not think that
l ought to permit my court to be used
to prevent an investigation, and GER
tainly not by any unlawful or question
able writ or power"

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
Ious Cure by Cuticura.

When my little boy was six months
old. he had eczema. The sores extend
ed SO quickly over the whole body
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
ters became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks. large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
bnger. and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. l think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
We finally thought nothing could
help, and l had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him. otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But.

as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten

Mining Case Decision

Custer, South Dakota.-An import
ant decision to locators of lode mining
claims has just been handed down in
the case of the state of South Dakota
vs. Thomas w. Delicate, trustee, in the
application for patent on the Allan
tic lode claim. near Keystone. A por-
ton of the superficial area of the lode
claim extended upon the school sec
ton, and as no mineral had been dis
closed and no work done upon the
conflicting area, the state contended
that it could not be deprived of the
land. The decision is that the owner
of a valid lode mining claim is entitled
to all the surface within its boundaries,
regardless of the mineral or ncn-min-
eral character Of the area in conflict.

Laundry work at home would b

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
Ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
