CONGRESSMAN JENKINS
SPEAKS.

Congressman John ]. jenkins
who is a candidate to succeed him
self as congressman of this district,
addressed a River Falls audience
Saturday evening in Opera Hall.
The city band enlivened proceedings
before the speech and after his in
PRODUCTION in a few we'll chosen
words by Mr.. C. G. Knowles, Mr..
Jenkins kept things we'll stirred up
for the rest of the evening. The
congressman does not attempt
flights of oratory nor does he avail
himself of poetic license, but he
speaks freely, theoretically, force
fully and to the point. He gave his
hearers an insight into what the
duties of a congressman really were
and what the powers were which
congress had. He touched on the
tariff and the appropriations made
by Congress, and gave several
new ideas on trusts and corpora
tons. He also dealt with questions
relating to the congressional situa-
ton in this eleventh district and
easily refuted the charges laid at
his door by some of his political
opponents.
Congressman Jenkins convinced
many of his superior ability and his
Thorough knowledge of the matters
with which he dealt. 1t was plain
to all that when Jenkins speaks on
subject he knows what he is talk
ing about.

The Perpetual Candidate.
Number Two.

Oh, Lenroot, the brave, has come into the
West
OF all campaign speakers es boldest and best;
For If small things like facts get into his way,
So much worse for the facts-for he kicks
them away,
When for Governor he ran, and thought surely
to win,
The troublesome voters would not vote MN IN,
But brave and undaunted, he said to his men,
''Then I'll Senator be'-and he tried it again.
So he talked, and they listened, as good voters
should,
They laughed, they applauded, but did not
make good;
''Poor Lenroot is tired with much running
they said;
So they gave him rest-sent another instead.
gee Whiz! This is rough, said Lenroot, "but
then,
1 must have an ofice-Ill try it again.
II Billy of Lincoln makes money and fame
AS perpetual candidate, I'll be the same;
Perhaps too far up I first started to fly
For seat in the House this time will try.
Then he fixed on place that was held by
man,
Grown wise in the harness, as Old workers can
No man ever owned him, no collar he wore,
No clique ever claimed him, and no brand he
bore.
EOF Gu6 Country nc lOfCu, IOuShU III LIS
youth,
For his friends knew him loyal in deed and in
truth.
Now Lenroot, the crafty, well knew he'd no
show
In fair, open battle, with fair, open blow,
SO he took to mud-singing, threw dust in their
eyes,
Dscharging his Cannon" to create surprise;
To the women he whispered" Ste-boy! take
him out!
He's deluding the people, without any doubt"
Oh Lenroot, greater than you has well said,
You CAN fool the people, they're easily led;
You CAN fool them all, without reason or
rhyme,
But you CAN'T fool them all, for all of the time
So take this advice, from a true, unknown
friend,
Since you will be a candidate, unto the end,
When the tumult and shoutings Of this cam
pagn cease,
In your own home town run-for Justice of
Peace! *m*

fell out Of the upper story Of a house.
All along the road we were jostled
by fleeing people half clad like our

We turned.
Suddenly the sea began to pour into
the town. 1t seemed to me that this
must mean the end of everything. The
oncoming waters rolled in in a huge
wave. accompanied by Il terrifying roar.
The sky was aglOw with the reflection
OF burning palaces and other buildings.
and as if this was not enough there sud
denly shot up into the sky huge burst
of flame. followed by a crash that seemed
10 shake the whole town. This probably
was the gas works blowing up.

square of Messina. Here we found two
Or three thousand utterly terrified people
assembled. None of us knew what to do.
We waited in an agony of fear. Men and
women prayed. groaned and shrieked. l

scores OF persons were buried beneath the
ruins. Then I lost consciousness and I

Internal is the only word that Will

when the first shock came most OF the
city was fast asleep. I was awakened
by the rocking OF the house. Windows
swayed and ratified and crockery and
glass crashed to the floor. The next mo-
ment I was violently thrown out Of my
bed to the floor. l was half stunned
but knew that the only thing to do was
to make my way outdoors. The streets
were filed. Everybody had rushed out
in their night clothes, needless OF the
rain falling In torrents. Terrified shrieks
arose from all sides. and we heard heart
rending appeals for help from the .unfor-
tunates pinned beneath the ruins.
Walls were tottering all around U.s.
and not one of my party expect ed to es-
cape alive. My brothers and sisters
were with me and in a frenzy OF terror
We CROPPED our way through the streets

PALERMO, December 29-Refugees
from Messina say that the tidal wave
caused more destruction in their city
and more loss Of life than the earth

of water that fell upon the city after
the shock as being about fifty feet high.
This great wall OF water fell upon the
town, and in few minutes had mum

thing seemed 10 be swept away. The
big Tienacia Hotel. perhaps the largest
in Sicily. disappeared entirely.
In this hotel were hundreds of for
eigners from all parts Of the world
