The Clinton Herald begins to see a
new light for it says: The most dis
gusting part Of the whole thing is, that
the men who are largely stirring up this
strife are those who are proving traitor
to the very ideals which they set up in
the past and upon which they won their
present places of trust This is espec-
tally true in regard to the fight for the
nomination of governor. If the people
are true to their position in the past
they will rebuke this state of affairs at
the primary. Wisconsin had hoped that
it was rid of the political boss but il
looks very much like tweedle dee and

him at magnificent banquet. Mr.. Rid

at Wilhelmsohe. After being pre-

American ambassador, Mr.. Tower, the
Emperor conversed with Mr.. Ridder-
on various subjects, the ethics of jour

In the course of conversation, Gov.
Cobb remarked to Mr.. Pattangall: Il
don't see why you and Llwellyn Pow
ers should be so extremely antag-
onistic to each other. Neither of you
ever fails to give the other rap
when there is opportunity"
At this point an interested listener
in the car leaned toward their chairs
and asked: rs it really true that ex-
Gov. Powers is of Indian descent?"
We'll, the Indians deny it," Mr..
Pattangall answered. In his inimitable

Santiago. Chill, Aug. 19.-The latest
news brought in here by refugees from
Valparaiso contradicts some Of the
first exaggerated statements from
there, but shows that the catastrophe
was extremely severe. Senor Groz,
one OF the refugees, relates that the
first shock at Valparaiso was very pro-
longed and threw the entire city into
indescribable panic. People crowded
the streets and the squares, crying and
lamenting. The first shock also
threw down a number of buildings. The
second shock was more severe and re
suited in the crumbling of most of the
buildings in the Almendral quarter
Immediately after the second shock
the entire city was plunged into ter
rife darkness. This, however, did not
last long, for the scene of destruction
was soon lit up by the fires that broke
out in this quarter. The light from
the tiames, Senor Groz continues. came
is welcome relief from the darkness.
The people We're in a state of terror,
many believing that the end OF the
world had come.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the Victoria theater, the Bella Vista
railroad station and the Club de Sep
tembeT Most of the severe damage was
done on the lower ground reclaimed

Masses of material blocked the
streets. Avenue Brazil is almost to-

estimates. Among those dead is the
wife Of Admiral Montt.
The hills surrounding Valparaiso
suffered but slightly.
More than 10000 persons have token
refuge there.
That portion of the city where are
the customs house and The city hall
was not seriously damaged. A large
majority of the houses are not fit for
habitation The storehouses of the
customs house are almost totally de-

The water pipes of the city were
broken and the water poured through
the streets. There is even lack of
water for drinking purposes. Provis-
ions are lacking and hunger is begin

The government has ordered its war
ships stationed at Talcahuano to bring
at once to Valparaiso the most needed
necessities of life.
The people of Valparaiso are utterly
exhausted. They are awaiting the re-
establishment of the railway service
to leave the city.

SALUOW FACES

Coffee has proven a means, in thou
sands of cases, OF clearing up bad
compilations.
A Washn. young lady tells her cape
rience:
'Ail of us-father, mother. sister

for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.
I'VE were all sallow and troubled

simply so many bundles of nerves.
I'VE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
We ran out of coffee and went to Dor.
row some from a neighbor. She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that.
although we started to make it,
we all felt sure we would be sick ii
we missed our strong coffee, but we
were forced to try Postum and were
surprised to find it delicious.
I'VE read the statements on the

Valparaiso, Chilli. Aug. 10, via Gal
veston.-Proportiona the catastro-
phe here is considered greater than
that which befell San Francisco. Val
paraiso and neiGhboring towns are
wrecked and partially burned and in
all of the towns of the Aconcagua val
ley are similar. In the southern por-
tion of Chill severe shocks were felt
at Talcapuano Conception. Talca and
Zone, but there the disaster was not
appalling. AS yet no authentic news
has been received from Santiago. al.
though a courier is shortly expected.
Quakes occur from time to time, but
are steadily diminishing in force. AS
to the dead and wounded. an accurate
estimate is as yet impossible, but it is
believed the former will exceed 1000
in this and surrounding towns.
The authorities here have the situa-
tion well in hand and have assumed
distribution of food. Couriers have
been dispatched both north and south
for troops. Provisions and thousands
of tons of -four, wheat and rice are
held in stores here and afoat, it is not
believed food famine will occur
Martial law has ruled in VALPARAISO
since the first day of the shocks and
the entire population is camping in
the open. The only wire working is
subterranean, and sea cables of Cen

Redeemed by Women.
COLORADO

, Russell Sage was an intimate
friend of Jay Gould for many years
THE two men had much in common
though there were striking differ
lences. Gould. dying comparatively
young, left his fortune to his family
and one of his children, n woman
alone in the world in the sense that
she never married, began at once ia
redeem the name of Gould from the
taint of avarice. Sage, at the end
of n long life, has given all he pos
sessed to his widow, and she, in her
old age, is confidently expected tc
emulate and surpass the charities
and philanthropies of Helen Gould
Probably Mrs. Sage will do all thai
IS expected of her, says the Cleveland
Leader She has long been admired
for her piety and kindness OF heart
and her interest in all that makes fo'
the uplifting of the poor and unior
tunate. She is n good woman, in tha
highest sense of that term. All thai
has been said and felt regarding Rus
outside of and above business and
money-getting will doubtless accentu
ate his widows desire to brighten his
name. She will wish to grace his
memory by great services to hui
manity, rendered by means OF hi,
wealth. She can be trusted to re-
deem him. in so far as she may be
able to do so, from the unfriendly
criticism excited by his absorption
in the accumulation of riches. 1t is
AN old story. The history of nations
is full of striking instances of the
efforts of women TO atone for the er'
rors or shortcomings of men near and
dear to them. They have redeemed a
multitude of men while living. and
frightened and lightened the mem
ory of many more after death.

Long Words or Short.

Which shall we prefer in speech and
writing? Almost everybody will vote
body will be voting for the best candi-
date, says the Manchester Union. The
shCrt words are usually the strong
words. They make up in muscle and
liveliness what they lack in size. And
they are readily in the eyes of men
who have thoughts that they wish to
lodge in other minds. A man who
should run out into the street and yell
"Contiagration! Coniagration! Con-
tlagration." when his house was burn
ing would be thought to be making a
jest of the affair. And so in all mat
ters where ideas are to be handed out
quickly and clearly, the short word
has first choice.
