 MT. Rutherford has followed thc

 From its natural location and re- sources, upon which it can draw Pine Bluff is destined to rank high among the commercial centers of the The greatest obstacle to the city $ growth thus far has been the limitation upon it's railroad ia cilities Without any reflection upon the service which the St. Louis, and the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern systems have afforded the city in the past, it IS apparent that two practically non- competitive lines are not adequate :o handle the traffic of a city that is producing as much freight tonnage as originates in Pine Bluff, amount ing to all average of 19,000 net tons a year.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. "a des-

entered the Bridge street branch of the
Royal Bank of Canada at 9 o clock
Saturday night and at the point of a
gun forced Paying Teller Logan to
land him a handful of bills amounting
to less than 800. If the man had kept
his nerve he probably would have Sc
cured several thousand dollars. People
in the bank were too astounded to
offer any resistance when the holdup
man entered.
He walked to the window where Lo-
gan was standing and, leveling re-
volver at the cashier head, demanded
the money. Logan passed out hand
full of bills of small denomination. The
rcbber waited patiently for a while,
then suddenly seemed to lose his nerve,
and, grabbing the money, fled. He is
still at large.

One Hundred and Twenty of the Nov.

San Sebastian, Aug.32, by French
Frontier.-An authoritative parsonage
declared that 10 courtmartials sat all
through Thursday and Friday and that
the number of revolutionists condemn
ed and shot is estimated at 100. About
1000 revolutionists were killed or
wounded by machine guns or rifle

The Spanish government is now per-
uniting itself to enjoy for few
hours the encouraging news that has
been received from the revolutionary
oenters at home and the war front in
Melilla, not unmindful of the fact that
4s hours may again plunge the nation
into a crisis from which it can not
emerge intact.
The outcome, for the present at
least, hinges upon two threatened oc-
currences-the declaration of a general
industrial strike and the renewal of the
attack by the requirements of the
Moors against the army of General
Marina at Melilla.
The government is Fastening troops
TO Bilboa and the province of Biscay,
where the strike movement is furthest

James Wilson, Secretary of Agricul

Washington.-'' Prosperity with a
capital p, tariff or no tariff, is the SEN
timent expressed by James Wilson, the
veteran secretary of agriculture, in a
recent interview. The farmers friend
said:
"The farmers crops will be good
everywhere. There will be super
huity of work for every one on the
farms, more work than the farmers
can find hands to do. The corn crop
bids fair to surpass any other crop in
the history of the country. The cotton
crop viii be reasonably large and the
other crops above the average.
"Good crops will make big hauling
for the railroads and that, in turn, en-
tails the employing of full quotas OF
engineers, fremen, train hands and
freight handlers. This tends to the
general Improvement of railway condi
ti0ns
'.Prosperity is not going to wait fol-
the tariff or anything else. If any dis
turbance of conditions arises in the
body polite it will have to come from
somewhere else than from the agricul

WHOLE TOWNS DESTROYED BY
.TREMOR OF EARTH.
Results Are Similar to Those of San
Francisco--voicano Reported in Erup-
tion-Five Distinct Shocks Street
Cars Thrown From Tracks-Buildings
Destroyed-Loss of Life Enormous.

Mexico City, Aug. Five distinct
eartbquakef shocks were felt here and
throughout the republic Saturday, and
late reports indicate that the upheaval
centered in the Guerrero district,
where homes were laid waste and lives
snuffed out by the earthquake of Fri
day.
Every bit of information that is fl
tering in from the stricken district in
dicates beyond doubt that the loss Of
life has been heavy and the property
damage enormous.
Terror reigned here all day. The
frenzy of the people was increased by
reports that the volcano Popocatapetl
was in eruption. The heaviest shock
was felt shortly after noon. Buildings
rocked People fled from their homes
and shops, business stopped and the
populace waited in terror lest more
violent tremors bring the walls crumb-
ling down about their heads.
Clown completely demolished" was
the substance of message received from
Acapulco; Chilpancingo, Chilapa and
Iguala before the terror-stricken oper-
ators fled from their keys and the tele-
graph lines went down before the aw-
full power of the quake.
Four distinct shocks followed. In
this city several houses were de-
stroyed, windows shattered, walls
cracked, and fires started in the ruins
added to the panic of the people.
Before fleeing from his key the tele-
graph operator at Chilpancingo report
ed that the palace of Damian Flores
the governor, was RACED, having suf
fered severe damage by the earth
quake Friday. The escape of the ex.
exutive is considered miraculous. Val
liable jewels aud plate were buried in
the ruins.
Hardly had this message been re-
eeived when the operator at Iguala
flashed word that that city, too, had
felt the full force of the shock and
was doomed. All efforts to reach the
stricken cities by use of the federal
lines were thereafter without avail
leaving tue full details ofethe disaster
unknown. However, the brief dis
patches indicate that the calamity is
widespread, that these four cities have
been practically obliterated.
Operators in the general offices OF
the national lines of Mexico and il
the federal telegraph offices deserted
their keys.
The heaviest shock here derailet
streetcars throughout the city, tumblet
down a number of houses on the out
skirts, shattered walls and windows
and the fires which followed consumed
number of buildings. The water
mains are severed and the fremeI
were handicapped in their work.
Houses on the Gale Nina and Calls
Montezuma were demolished and tn,
destruction to the cathedral, following
the damaged sustained Friday, wa
made nearly complete. No loss of lif
has been reported.
