ROME, Jan. 8.-Heavy earthquake

a panic. The ruins of houses were

A shock at Messina destroyed the
cemetery, which, with its orange groves
and magnificent monuments, was one
of the most beautiful in Italy.
Fire also started and completed the
destruction of Messina's City Hall.
Thirty-seven persons were recovered
alive. Some lay in rooms which were
almost intact, though buried under a
mountain of debris. The work OF

Damaging Evidence.

When Mrs. Amore had been excused
Samuel Carbone, of 50 Seventh avenue
was called by the defense, and swore
that he would not believe Fusco under
oath.
"Who are you?" demanded Mr.. Mott
sharply, on the cross-examination.
Samuel C~arbone,' was the simple
answer.
That's ALL" was Mr.. Motifs laconie
comment.
Fusco, called in rebuttal. again re
lated the story how he had seen the
couple in a compromising position in
the rear of the Amore store one night
in June. Jurors Bartholomew Freeman,
Michael Doyle and John A. Tengoye put
several questions to Fusco with the
idea of learning just how the witness
happened. to see what he claimed IL
have seen.
1t was shortly after IL o'clock that
Mr.. Henry began to sun up, saying
that there Should be mo heat, 10 preju-
dice and no'swiftness of conclusion in
blasting the life of this woman"
THE jury" he declared, must be
i satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt
that she not only slew Michael Mar
telia. but that she did so Intentionally,
wilfully and with malice a~forethought,
and there Is no such evidence in this
case"
Mr.. Henry scored severely the cone
duct of Detective Sergeant Godfrey OF
the prosecutors office, who securdd the
woman's confession, saying MAT he
should be held up to the seorn and
contempt of a Missing world,", and that
he would some time regret his act in

of Mr.. Henry's remarks. He mad de-
clared that the states witnesses We're

supposed to be protected by the law.
Judge Ter Eyck interrupted by saying
that the statement was not a rule Ct

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an 1nflamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the EuStachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing viii be destroyed

HIGH TARIFF ON
EXPRESS PACKAGES

We are glad to see movement on
the part of merchants in Milwaukee
toward the reduction of the tariff rate
ON express packages. This movement
ought to receive the hearty endorse
ment of all business men and people
who have occasion to send express.
From the figures furnished by the
Milwaukee merchants it is plain to
be seen that the rates are much
higher than they ought to be for the
service rendered. The fact that the
rates are identically the same by all
companies shows that there is a
combination rate which they have all
agreed to charge. Therefore there
is no competition and it makes no
difference who you patronize, the
rates are the same The railroad

WHY ADVERTISE?

81 have done business for 80 years
without advertising; why should
start now?" asks many a business
man. In the opinion of c. R. Lipp-
man, advertising manager of the
Genuine Badger State Company, this
is a very natural question for the
founder or manager who has built up
a profitable business without advertis
ing.
But, says Mr.. Lippman, time and
methods are changing and the success
full business man is changing his tao
tics accordingly. There was a time
when few commercial travellers used
the railroad Nowadays who would
not use it?
There was time when the tele-
graph and the telephone were CON
sidered toys, and used only by the
shreWdest business men, says the
Fourth Estate in an editorial recently
Advertising is an evolution like these
inventions. Like them it increases
speed, ease and economy of commu-
nication.
1t utilizes the ever growing read
ing habit of the public. Fifty years
ago there were only 1000 newspapers
and periodicals in this country. To-
day there are $4,000 Today people
read more and more people read.
The printed word rules the land.
And how much we owe the printed
page from the First Reader of our
spelling days to this mornings news
paper! What we learn from personal
observation and conversation is only
drop compared with the ocean of
information obtained from reading.
The reading habit is so deeply
rooted that we readily place conf
dence in the printed page, if it is at
all plausible. We say this country
contains some S0,0O0,OO0 people. We
never counted them. We read it. We
say this years corn crop is worth
81, 400, 100000. We never figure it
up. We read it.
To utilize the general hunger for
reading through the channels of ad-
vertising is as natural as utilizing the
t'concourse" habit of the public by
locating along the most frequented
thoroughfares

SUBSCRIPTION 81. so A YEAR In ADVANCE
Thursday, December 80, 1909

In talking with some of the bus
mess men we find that they would
only be glad to close their business
places on Christmas eve if there was
not positive request and demand
made upon them by some of theri
customers who want to trade with
them on that might We are also
told that some of the employees in
the paper mills, factories, etc. say
that they are employed evenings
and sometimes on holidays and are
prevented from doing their trading
except when they are idle and that
depends upon their employers. The
question of closing is wholly with
the people themselves. If they re-
fuse to trade on Christmas eve, it
will only be a short time when the
merchants will close for the want of
patronage. The merchants say it is
not a matter of choice on their part,
it is simply matter of taking care
of their patrons.

THE P0sTOFFICE FIGHT AT AMIGO

A fight seems to be brewing over
the postmastership OF the Amigo
postoffice At present there are
number Of out spoken candidates
in the field will few more who have
aspirations in that line keeping we'll
in the background.
The appointment of postmaster
should be made before the first Of
March when the term of Postmaster
Cleary expires The question OF Sc
Letting the right man for the place
has presented perpiexing problems to
Congressman Morse. 1t is understood
that he made the statement before
departing for Washington, that he
would not consider the appointment
of anyone who circulated d petition.
The thought of Mr.. Morse undoubted-
ly was to keep the fight among the
candidates and not get the public
stirred up IN factions. While this
plan may have some merit as diplo-
matte move upon the part Of the Con-
gresham, it is the opinion of the Re-
publican that Congressman Morse
should consider the sentiment of the
people in the matter. A postmaster
serves the people and the people have
right to endorse whd tever candidate
they see lit. A petition is the popular
method by which the sentiment OF
the people can be found out, and we
cannot believe that Congressman
Morse would ignore the feelings Of the
people in the matter.
It is intimated by some who seem
to know the situation that the break
Of Taft with the insurgents may have
something to do with the appoint
ment of postmasters. 1t is rumored
that President Taft will ignore en-
