MESSINA FEELS EARTHQUAKE
Walls of Ruins Overthrown and City
developed in Dust Cloud.

Messina-Messina experienced two
terrific earthquakes Thursday morning,
which were accompanied by roaring
sounds, and are said to have had a
stronger anu more undulatory movement
than the earthquake of last December,
which destroyed Messina, Reggie and
other cities, laid waste many villages in
Calabria and killed 100000 people.
Although the shocks had no such ter
rible consequences, the $4,000 residents
of the city were thrown into a state
of terror. They ran into the streets
panic-sricken, and nearly the entire pop
ulation is encamped in the open places,
fearing to return to the structures which
have served them as homes since the
city was destroyed.
The broken walls of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground, and Messina
was for few minutes smothered in a
cloud of dust.

Meningitis Is Cured.

Chicago.-The first entirely successful
cure of spinal meningitis ever recorded
in Chicago became a matter of fact
Thursday, when Edward Herzog, 1-2
years old, was able to leave his bed,
where he had been confined for four
weeks, and walk out of doors, pro-
nounced cured The child was saved as
the result of a discovery of new serum
by scientists in the New Rockefeller In
stitute at New York, which was founded
"a short time ago for the purpose of
searching for and perfecting a cure for
sninal meningitis.

ASK RETURN or FUNDS
WILL PRACTICALLY WIPE OUT
GOVERNMENT DEPOSITS.
Business in All repositories Will
Be Reduced to the Lowest
Possible Amounts.

Washington. A call on national
depository banks for return to the treas
ury of government funds aggregating ap
proximately S25,o00o0 was made Tues
day by Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh. OF this amount 100000 has
been called for July Is and $16,ooo,0oc
for Aug. Is.
Balances in all active repositories are
uniformly reduced to the lowest amount
which the daily needs of the government
will permit.
This call will practically wipe out all
of the deposits of government funds in
national banks subject to check by the
treasury, except about $37 100000 which
is held in active account and necessary to
meet checks of government disbursing
officers and 81 900 900, which will be al
lowed to remain in 81 900 lots in such
of the 1000 smaller national banks as
desire to retain their designation as ma
tional bank repositories.
The working balance today is more
than $40 ,O0O,o 900, which will be increased
by the call to approximately $1,000
600. The low state of the government
working balance made it's strength nee
essary, and thus augmented, the treas
ury department will have ample funds
for at least some months.

TREASURY OFFICIALS PLEASED
WITH NATIONS FINANCES.
Expenditures for the Year Were
$694, 244, OO2, Which Is an
Increase of $27, 100000.

shington.-Treasury officials are
pleased at the present showing of the
government finances. Ordinarily def
ticit in the government revnues of $780,
s11,156, as shown by Thursdays state
ment, would not be matter of con-
graduation. Nevertheless, at the close
of the fiscal year 1909, the treasury off
cials express much qualification that the
official estimate of deficit of $l14,-
100000, made last December, has not
been verified, and are hopeful for CON
tinuance of the improvement, which has
been especially noted during the last
four months.
Since the. December estimates were
submitted to congress, however, the re-
ceipts and expenditures. have shown
marked irregularity, and as late as Feb
ruary last the expenditures were increas-
ing at such a rapid rate, and the reve-
nues falling off SO sharply, that it was
greatly feared the balance on the wrong
side of the ledger might by the close of
the fiscal year reach $130,0O0,000.
The result, both of improving revenues
and the strong holding down of expendi-
lures, has resulted in greatly reduced
deficit.
The customs receipts for the year ag-
gregated 1901 200, 1868, which is an in
crease when compared with last year of
$15,000,000. The internal revenues pro-
duced $210,329, O63, decrease of about
$5,OO0,0 900. Miscellaneous receipts ag
gregated $56,s93,9 19, which is falling
off of about $6,5o0,ooo The receipts
from all sources during the year aggre-
gated 1904, 432, s46, which is an increase
over last year of $3,25o,ooo.
On the side of expenditures, the total
for the year was 694,244 ,002, which is
an increase over 1908 of about S37,o oo,-
600.

CORPORATION TAX PASSED
Many Democrats Voted in Favor OF
the Measure

Washington.-The corporation tax
amendment, which was suggested by
President Taft, drawn by Attorney Gen.
erai Wickersham and presented to the
senate by Mr.. Aldrich, chairman of the
committee on finance, is an integral part
of the tariff bill as that bill now stands.
After much tribulation the Senate
reached vote on the proposition Fri
day, and the amendment was agreed
to by the large vote of 60 to IL. With
all modifying amendments disposed of,
many Democrats voted with most of the
Republicans for the amendment Only
three Democrats voted against the pro-
vision on the final vote, but some re-
Trained from voting at all. The test
vote was on the substitution of the cor
poration tax amendment for the income
tax proposition, and ON that vote AS sem
ators cast their ballots in the affirma-
tive and 81 in the negative. On this bal
lot all the Democratic votes were cast in
favor of the income tax, which also re-
ceived the support of number of in
surgent Republicans.

HEAT CAUSES WIFE BEATING
Seven Men Make Same Plea ut
Whiting, Ind.

Whiting, Ind.-Seven men in Jail here
for beating their wives pleaded in court
that the hot wave drove them to assault.
James Brown threw a shoe at his wife
and tore off one of her ears. He was
arrested and fined $25. Returning home,
he beat his wife so fiercely that she prob
ably will die. He said his anger against
her had been heated to the frenzy by
the weather.
Thomas Bossock knocked his wife
down and kicked her in the face. John
Bressina entered while the two were
fighting. The woman hurried to the
police station and swore out warrant
for Bressina charging him with assault
ing her husband. In her absence, her
husband whipped her would-be protector
into Inconsistencies. Bossock said he
was crazy from the heat. Two more
men charged with assaulting their wives
also ascribe their assaults to the hot
weather

THINK LING'S BODY FOUND
Body Was Nude, Except for Silk
Undershirt.

New York.-Although complete iden-
tifcation was impossible, there appeared
to be strong probability that the body
of Chinaman which was found floating
in the Hudson river in the upper part
of the city Thursday was that of Leon
Ling, or VIM. L. Leon, the murderer of
Elsie Sigel. The mans height, weight
and general appearance tallies with that
of Leon Ling, but, as the body was
nude, except for silk undershirt, and
had been in the water for more than a
week, thorough examination will be
necessary. Coroner Mcdonald, who was
the first to inspect the body, believes
that it is Leon, as do number of po-
icemen, but until measurements and fa-
cial characteristics are carefully gone
over the Identification will remain in
doubt.

MEXICAN FLEAS APPEAR.
Doing More Damage Than the Boil
Weeyil

Logansport, La.-Farmers report that
pest known as the Mexican flea has
appeared in great numbers in their fields
and that they are doing more damage
to the cotton than the boil weevil 1t
attacks the new squares on the cotton
plants and causes each one that it bores
into to drop off. The name flea is given
it for the reason that when it moves it
hops like an ordinary flea, only it can
hop much greater distance. Very lit
tie is known of the origin and habits of
this bug. From reports received from
the farmers who have discovered the
fleas in their cotton crops, the indications
are that it will prove to be equally as
destructive as the boil weevil and equally
as hard to exterminate.

AN OLD TIMER

had repeatedly told me not to use

soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of its value. for got well of my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and / persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. 1t GER
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and honest
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
ITO make long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown in
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed rather unexpected i'm
provement in brain and nerve power

The athletic girl and the baseball
bat make combination which, like
the great American game itself, is
hard to beat. A burglar out in Seat
tie, Wash, found that out. While en-
gagged in the interesting occupation of
burgling the home of a resident of
that city he encountered the girl and
the big stick. The result was the
knocking out of the burglar, who
dropped several thousand dollars
worth of plumber and was glad to es-
cape without broken bones.

Automobiles are necessity of mod
ern life, and their general use ought
to be encouraged, but there is no rea-
son why they should not be used with
due regard to the rights of nonusers,
who are an overwhelming majority of
the public. Those who have at heart
the progress of automobiling as an in
dustry, sport or means of trans
portation will find it to their interest
to suppress the many reckless driv-
ers who bring their own occupation
into disrepute.
