10000 PERISH
BY EARTHQUAKE
Cities and Towns Wiped Out in
Southern Italy

Rome, Dec. 29.-South Italy and
the island of Sicily have been visited
bv an appalling calamity, the extent
of which cannot yet be grasped.
An earthquake yesterday wrecked
city after city and obliterated small
er towns and villages without num-
Der.
Then tidal wave swept along the
strait of Messina and added to the
horror. drowning the people in their
helplessness and panic.
Fire came to complete the work of
destruction. Flames broke out in
the devastated cities. and countless
numbers of wounded men, women
and children were burned to death.
An adequate estimate of the total
casualties is as yet quite impossible,
but the Rome Tribuna places the
number at between $4,000 to 70, 900.
The horror and destructiveness of
this visitation probably will exceed
that of any earthvuake in Italy since
1856, when 10000 peasons perished
at Messina alone.
Reports of heavy loss of life are
coming in every hour from city and
town, and nearly every village in the
stricken zone. The horror grows as
further reports come in.
Messina has heen freswept. The
dead there alone will run into the
tens of thousands.
Reggie is a sepulcher of the dead,
Catania suffered heavily.
Mount Etna. the volcano on the
island of Sicily, is active.
The work of rescue is being push
ed forward with every possible Ell
ergy.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena have left Rome for the south
His majesty will superintend in per-
son the work of relief.
The pope has made an appeal to
Roman Catholics the world over for
help. He has headed the relief sub
scription list with a donation of
100000.

RING OUT, WILD BELLS

Ring out, wild bells to the wild sky

The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, Wild bell, and let him die!
Ring out the Old, ring in the New;
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going-et him go;
Ring out the False, ring in the True!
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more:
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The fathless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out, my mournful rhvmes
But ring the fuller Minstrel in!
Ring out false pride in place and blood
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of Good
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrow lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old.
Ring in the thousand years of peace!
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart the klndlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land
Ring in the Christ that is to be-

CATARRH YIELDS.
To Healing Air OF Hyomei-Sold Un-
der Guarantee by Tallman a. Co.

Catarrh is the most prevalent dis
ease known to humanity. Probably
90 per cent of the people in this
country suffer at one time or another
with this common disease.
1t is a germ disease and hence can
be cured only by some method that
will reach and destroy the germs.
This is best found in Hyomel, which
may be called the direct method of
treating catarrh, as its medication,
taken in with the air you breathe,
goes directly to every air cell in the
nose. throat and lungs! Kills all ca
tarrhal germs; heals the irritated mu-
nous membrane and vitalizes the It's
sues so as to render catarrh no longer
possible.
The unique way In which Hyomei
Is sold should dispel all doubt as to
It's curative properties. for Tallman
& Co. give their absolute guarantee
to refund the price to any catarrh
sufferer that Hyomei fails to bene-
fit. You do not risk a cent In test
ing its healing powers, What offer
could be more fair to you than this,
where a leading druggist takes all
the risk of Hyomei giving satisfac-
tion, and leaves you to be the Judge.

ton 10 Withdraw From Fight for
FederaI District Headquarters.

A number OF Pendleton attorneys
and business men met with the Ciu-
zens' league committee from Baker
City last evening to discuss the pro-
posed federal district for eastern
Oregon, but no results came Of the
meeting except that Pendleton made
1t plain that she Is In the race for
the district headquarters and declined
to withdraw from the contest in ia
vor of Baker.
A most pleasant conference was
held and the situation was fully dis
cussed, the Baker City delegation ar
guing that as Baker had made con-
siderable effort to secure the head
quarters IN the past she should be
entitled to It under the present bill.
However, Pendleton did not look
at the situation in that light so the
meeting did not bring any definite
results. II is understood that Baker
will now redouble her effort to secure
the headquarters.

WHEN Is 1T 8 O'CLOCK.
Court House Time Piece Made Judge
Fee Tardy and Delayed Trial.

When is 1t o'clock by the court
house clock? This is a point that is
complicated because there is 10 min
utes difference between time shown
by the west face Of the clock and that
given by the dial on the east side.
When the Haaga case was started
this morning it was discovered that
Judge Fee, one of the attorneys for
the defense had not appeared and
his colleague, Colonel Raley, asked
that the court wait for his arrival. A
moment later Judge Fee entered the
room with his watch in his hand and
surprised look upon his face.
"Your honor, was going by the
west side time and 1t is not yet 9
o'clock by It," said he in explanation
of his hardness.

HON0RS EVENLY DIVIDED
Results in First Two Harvard-Yale
rSSt Races

New London, Conn, June 26.-With
honors evenly divided two of the Har-
vard-Yale boat races were rowed, Yale
winning the foIr-oared varsity substi-
tute race ald Harvard finishing ahead
In the freshman eight-oared event.
Enthusiastic crowds viewed the races
from the river banks and from the
myriad of pleasure craft which lined
the course and greeted each of the
victors with tumultuous demonstra-
tions Of approval
The presidential yacht was an.
chored near the finish and Mrs. Roose-
welt and the Roosevelt children stood
on the deck waving the greeting to
the triumphant crew.
There was never doubt as to the
result Of either race from the start to
the finish. In the four-oared varsity
substitutes race Yale forged ahead
soon after the start and at the half
mile flag Yale was leading by full
length. Another half mile had opened
a gap of clear water between the
boats. Steadily Yale maintained her
lead and crossed the line an easy win
ner amid screaming steam whistles
and booming signal guns.
The eight-oared freshman race fol-
lowed Immediately and this too was a
procession, with Harvard this time In
the van. The first twenty strokes
sent the nose of the Harvard shell
we'll to the front and there 1t stayed.
