ERUPTION OF VESUV|US
INHABITANTS OF VILLAGES FLEE
FOR THEIR LIVES.
ARE VERGING ON GREAT PANIC.
Lava coursing Down Mountain Many
Feet Wide-coIumn of Fire Sent Up
From Crater 1000 Feet Hish-spec-
taeIe Is Grand.

Naples, April 9. - The eruption of
Mount Vesuvius is now most violent.
On the Pompeii side the main stream
of lava has divided into two, one
threatening Ottjano, a commune of
10000 inhabitants, and the other
threatening Tore Del Greco, with a
population of 100000 The danger is
becoming serious and calls for the
immediate evication of Boscotrecaz,
the nearest village to the crater,
which has population of 5000 souls,
have been issued.
Streams of lava which are diffusing
great heat are progressing with con-
siderable rapidity in the direction of
Pompeii. From the new crater, which
is twenty feet in circumference, the
lava has already gone two miles and a
half. Hot mud, ashes and black sand
are also elected, which, mixed with
rain, produce the so-called caustin rain
which is most damaging to vegeta-
ton. Although the showers of cinders
here have diminished, people can be
seen holding up umbrellas as protec-
ton against the falling ashes.
Naples.-The inhabitants of the vii
lagos in the vicinity of Mount Vesu-
vius are in condition bordering on
panic. Many homes have been aband-
oned for the open air, although there
has been thick fog all day and the
atmosphere has been dense with vol
canic ashes and the fumes of subter-
ranean fires. The churches are crowd
ed day and night with people praying
for deliverance from an impending
peril, manifestations of which are
heard and felt in explosions which re-
semble a heavy cannonading with
tremblings of the earth which are con-
stantly recurring.
The main stream of lava proceed
ing from Vesuvius is 200 feet wide
and it flows at times at the rate of
Fl feet minute, destroying vegeta-
ton before the stream reaches it. The
peasants of Portici, at the west foot
of Vesuvius, cleared their ground of
vineyards and trees in the effort to
lessen the danger from fire, and re-
sisted the progress of the lava to their
utmost. The population of Boscotre-
caz, on the southern declivity of the
mountain, have sought safety in flight
and Bosco Reale, to the eastward, is
also threatened. Women of this vii
lage, weeping with fright, carried a
statue of st. Anne as near as they
could go to the flowing lava, imploring
miracle to stay the advance of the
consuming stream.
The cemetery at Boscotrecase has
been invaded by lava. The scene at
night is one of mingled grandeur and
horror, as from the summit of Vesu-
vius there leaps column of fire fully
thousand feet in height and the
glare lighting the sky and sea for man
glare lighting the sky and sea for
many miles. Occasionally great
masses of molten stone, some weigh
ing as much as a ton are elected from
the crater.
The village of Tore Del Greco,
which has been eight times destroyed
and as often rebuilt, is again threat
ened and the inhabitants are in ex-
IRENE terror

Historic Court House,

The Rutland, VT, chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton are to try and get possession of
the old court house there, which is the
city's most interesting historic struc-
ture. 1t is located on West street, and
is the Oldest building in Rutland, and
the second oldest in the state, having
been built in 1884. 1t is now a pri-
vate residence and the owners do not
care to sell. 1t may not be commonly
known that Rutland was once the
capital of Vermont, and it was in that
building that the legislature met in
1884, 1892, 1894, 1886, 1897 and 1904.
The federal court in Vermont sat in
the old building during the latter part
of the eighteenth century, and there
it was that Judge Harrington render
ed the famous decision that the only
title to a slave that would be held
good in Vermont was "a bill of sale
from the Almighty"

Worked for Russian Freedom.

Carl Joubert, one of the most
strenuous English advocates of Rus
sian freedom, died the other day in
London. 1t is said that his real name
was w. c. Grote, and that he was a
descendant of the historian of Greece.
The name of Joubert he adopted be-
cause it was that of his mother be-
fore marriage. She was a member of
the well known Dutch South African
family of that name. Carl Joubert
first went to Russia about twenty
years ago and found such an attrac
ton in the country and its people that
he practically became a Russian.

HUNDRED PRINTERS OUT.

Shake-Up in Public Printing Office at
Washington.
Washington, April 9.-One hundred
printers were discharged by Public
Printer Stillings, the reason being
lack of work. 1t is expected that the
result of the present agitation for
reduction in the amount of govern
ment printing a number of others
shortly will be dropped. The public
printer also has accepted the resig-
nation of Patrick Byrnes, foreman of
the bindery. A successor will not be
appointed at once.
With the view of bringing about
further saving, Public Printer ETH
lings is about to effect complete re-
organization of the mechanical work

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DR.. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines IN q class all by themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them, to
their patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
"Favorite Prescription" for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
alive of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our Indigenous, or native. medi-
clnal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
antiferment
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as Will De seen from q
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement

ONE HUNDRED
TONS A DAY
THAT is WHAT THE NEW IRON
FURNACE is DOING AT RusK,
USING COKE.

Special to the Herald.
Rusk. Texas, March 1.-THE most
gratifying thing to the penitentiary
board in it's session here this week,
was the report from the new iron fur
mace, the Sam Lanham, in its mar
velous work, using coke instead of
charcoal in the production of pig
iron.
This furnace has far exceeded the
expectations of it's builders, as it was
fully expected its capacity would be
only fifty tons day. BY the use of
coke the capacity has been increased
to one hundred tons a day.
1t has been further demonstrated
that iron can be manufactured here
at a net profit of 1925 a ton. and this
fact is calculated to give impetus to
the iron industry in this section. In
fact it is confidently expected that de-
velopments along this line will now
begin in earnest The only thing that
has held back the industry is the fuel
question. Now that that is settled
by the introduction of coke the ex-
haustless iron ore of this section is
