India will eventually control the
Oriental coal markets. At present
Japan is her only competitor, but Jap
ans coal area is only 5000 square
miles, with an annual output of 49,
600, 900 tons. India's present output Is
not so much, but her possibilities as
a coal producer are far greater than
Japan's, even including the Fushun
mines in Manchuria.

The following relative to the enter
tainment course is from G. p. Sher-
wood, secretary of the committee.
The committee that had in charge
the selection of entertainments for the
coming winter have taken upon them.
selves to put on a stronger course than
ever before. 1t is not the idea that any
one shall profit financially from these
entertainments, and when at the close
of last winters entertainment there
was a surplus of fifty dollars in the
bank it was decided to go in a little
deeper next time and procure a still
higher class of entertainments. The
numbers selected are:
Father Vaughan, lecturer.
Apollo Quinette and Bell Ringers.
Francis O'Donnel, reader and mon
ologist.
Lyceum Stars, musical entertainers.
Lincoln Male Quartette and Reader.
The course will be opened on Oc-
tober Is by Father Vaughan, and for
this lecturer too much cannot be said.
He has no peer on the platform today
and De Smet people are fortunate in
being able to secure him. Father
Vaughn will fill but four dates in the
state this winter as his price is out of
reach of smaller towns.
Tickets will be ON sale at Mallery q
Whites. The price will be So for sea-
son tickets reserved for the course;
school tickets 81 without reserve; sin
gle night 80. children 25 cents.

The Wear Of Paint.

How long does paint last on a
house?
Poor paint, say a year; not even a
year; it may not turn water yer when
first put on. Lead and oil three years.
Devoe lead and zinc paint from six
years up-a dozen or twenty years
sometimes.
A Good Answer
Do you think we'd better paint this
spring, Elizabeth?
Yes, George if you ask the question
it shows that you see the need of it.
Use Devoe lead and zinc paint.

 of Delegation. .'

Washington, April 16.-After being hissed in today's meeting of the Con tinental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs Donald Mclean, President-General of the 5o- ciety, tonight failed to secure the en- dorsement of her home State of New York for reelection.
 Despite expectation of battle royal over a proposal to endorse her candi- dacy, the question was not brought be-. fore the meeting. After a spirited con- test Mrs Charles w. Terry of Brooklyn was elected President General over Mrs. J w. Wentz of New York city. Mrs. Terry, who is a supporter of Mrs. Mclean, succeeds Mrs. J. c. Hagen Other State delegations to- night elected officers but the chief in terest centered in the New York meet ins.
 During a controversy in today's Bes- sion between Mrs. Mclean and Mrs M. E. s. Davis, the Treasurer Geneval, when the latter asked for more time in which to submit her report, many of the delegates hissed Mrs. Mclean when she remarked that the Treasurer Gen erals report seemed to be up in the air"
 The name of Mrs Ellen Washington Howard of Alexandria, Va. great niece of George Washington, it was an nounced by insurgent leaders tonight, probably will be presented Thursday as A candidate for President General.
 At tonight's session reports were re- ceived from standing committees

earth began to tremble. the sea was lashed into fury and as the shocks continued the harbor took on the ap- pearance of typhoon- ocean. Just how much of the port is sub merged Is not known. A message from there says that the houses as far as the church are under water. but there are numerous churches in the place, and the extent of the inundation could not be learned from this message. A number of ships were in the harbor when the first shock came, but these put out to sea, and 1t is said none of them suffered.
 Communication by rail to Vera Cruz Is entirely cut off owing to a sinking of large areas of track on both the Mexican and Interoceanio Railroads.
 Reports from nearly all of the largs cities in the southern part of the re- public have now been received, and, although many of these places felt the shock severely. no loss of life is re- ported and the property loss is insig- nificant.
 In this, city the telephone system, which was partly crippled. Is now Tn complete working order. News is anx- iously awaited from the isthmus of Tehauntepec, where 1t Is feared the shock may have wrought much dam age.

TROUP WANTS
 SHOW DOWN Springs Sensation At
 Meeting. HOT DISCUSSION FOLLOWED Wants Publication of Expenses of
 Last Campaign. At Meeting of Publicity Committee. Connecticutt Democrat Puts Mo- tion for Real Action-Brysn
 and Belmont Present.

New York, April 16.--A resolution intended to secure the publication of the contributions made to the Republi- can and Democratic Committees at the last national canvass was offered today at a special meeting of the National Publicity Law Organization.
 It was entirely unexpected and caused the members to engage in a lively discussion. Tho meeting had been called by Perry Belmont to fur ther tie movement to effect a national publicity law which would require a public record of campaign contribu- tions and expenditures. The resolu- tion. which was offered by Alexander Troup of Connecticut, a member of the Democratic National Committee, re- quested the chairman and treasurer of the two great parties who served at the last national campaign to make public comparative statement as to how the campaign funds were raised.
 The attitude of President Roosevelt on campaign contributions was brought into the discussion by Mir. Troup's in- sistence that the President should fa. vor throwing open the books of the last campaign as we'll as those of the coming national contest. Mir. Troup's attempt to secure immediate action on his resolution failed and the memorial was referred to the executive commit tee. which will report later to the or- Eanization.
 W. J. Bryan, the principal speaker at today's meeting urged the passage of law by Congress providing for a public declaration both by the donor and the recipient of all campaign off, ferings. He wanted all violations of this law punishable as criminal ofrens- es. By this means. alone. he held could the secret contributions, given for a sinister purpose, be stamped out Other speakers were Samuel Com pers. the president of the American Federation of Labor and Governor Edwin Warfield of Maryland.
 Plans were formed for renewing ef- forts at the next Congress tor a pub licity law of national scope.

Second Attempt to Put Charlie Strauss to Death at Bunkie Proves Sue
 cessful --Race Feeling
 Stirred,

Eola. La, April 16.-The sequel of the shooting of five white men and two negroes at Bunkie. La. last Sunday was the lynching of the negro Char lie Strauss near here today
 party of masked men took him away from the deputies who had ar rested him and 1t is said that the dep uties offered no resistance. The negro was taken into the woods about 1 o'clock this morning and hanged to a tree, after which many shots were fired into his body. He made no state ment about the attempted rape with which he was charged. The coroner took charge of the body at daylight
 This was the second attempt in two days to lynch Strauss, the first one on Sunday night having resulted in the serious wounding of five white men. Strauss had been taken from the Bunkie jail and escaped during all most total darkness while his captors were shooting promiscuously. It was also alleged that negroes fired into the lynching party. The race feeling thus stirred up was made worse by the fact that previous to the attempted lynch Ing two negroes had been shot at Bunkie while quarrellng with mem bers of their own race.

 Pittsburg, April 16-Theodore Won Molter, minister of state of Germany. who was at the dedication of the Car negie Institute, was the guest of hon. or last evening at an informal recep- ton at the Germany Club of this city.
 Over 800 of the clubs members and their wives were present. Minister Won Molter, speaking in German. said he declined an invitation to attend the peace conference at New York because there were a number of things he thought more profitable for him to do, and because he did not think that any serious results can be accomplished by the gathering.
 "A great many such conferences have attended" he said, and nothing has ever resulted and l do not think this one will amount to any more than the others"
