 Intensive Farming.

The farmers do not try to raise crops or breed stock in any scientific manner. They seem not to ter results If they. would only exercise their judgment little in the selection of the seed they plant. and in the cul- tiYation of their land.

Dopesters Say Mayor of

Those who know, declare that the

mayor of Joliet, but now a candidate for
the democratic mayoralty nomination in
Gary. not only comprise the attainment
of the chief executiveship of the Steel
City, but that he aspres to head the
democratic party in Northern Indiana.
Just what truth is in these stories
is not known. But it is said on good
authority. that Mr.. Crolius' chief desire
is to become mayor is merely that it
be a stepping stone to future political
preferment. Even should he lose the
mayoralty prize, which is said to be
merely the frontier of his present am
bition, it viii interfere in no way with
his future political plans.

should he get the democratic mayoralty
nomination and not receive the election,
this fact alone will insure him a GER
tain prestige among the democratic ad-
herents of the county and district.
Then again he may aspire to the new
state senatorship position which is to
be created in Lake county. Still there
Is not evidence that the former chief
executive of the neighboring steel city
has aspirations in these channels. How
ever, one thing is certain and that is
that he is planning something that
will be surprising when it is carried
into execution.
COnfers with Party Chiefs.
OF late Mr.. Crolius has been having
some very mysterious conferences with
leading democrats of northern Indiana.
He has had several meetings, 1t is said,
with Mayor Fogarty Of South Bend.
Ind, and Senator Shively, who is now
in Washington battling with the tar
If question. Others, not mentioned, but
high in the counsels of the party of
the state, have talked with the local
mayoralty aspirant.
1t is a weil-known fact that the
state leaders have been looking for
some democrat in northern Indiana to
rise up and assume the leadership.
There are, to be sure, such democrats
as Mayor Becker of Hammond, Mayor
barrow of Laporte, Representative
Faulkner of Michigan City, Mayor Fog
arty of South Bend. County Chairman
Ed. Simon of Hammond, ex-senator
Kopelke and John B. Peterson of Crown
Point and a host of others. They are
all good material for the dominant po-
sition.

politics of Kirby Risk of Lafayette,

which is well worth having While a
republican congressman is in power the
district chief will have no patronage.
yet he will have influence in the state
councils.
Whatever Mr.. Crolius' future ambi-
tions are is known to none but him
self The man who refused the dem
ocratic demonation for governor of H.
linois in 1904 is certainly not going to
let his political activities cease when
he emigrates to such fertile fields as

wrought by the earthquake in South
ern Italy.

State for money to be sent by cable

zens' Permanent Relief Committee,
and, upon receipt of a message from
President-elect Taft, national head of
the Red Cross, that organization be-
gan to raise funds. In New York,

for the relief Of the Italian sufferers
were under way oon after the news
of the extent Of the disaster was re-

Catania, Sicily. - The following

that the only thing to do was to make
my way outdoors. The streets were

was struck down and badly injured
by a piece of furniture that fell out
of the upper story of a house.
Cali along the road we were JOS
tied by scores of fleeing people, half
clad, like ourselves. The houses
seemed to be crashing to the ground
in whatever direction 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 a huge
wave, accompanied by a terrifying
roar.
"The sky was aglow with the re-
Election Of burning palaces and other
buildings, and as If this was not
enough there suddenly shot up into
the sky a huge burst of fame, fol-
lowed by a crash thatseemed to shake
the whole town. This probably was
the gas works blowing up.
Eventually we reached the princi-
pal square of Messina. Here we
found 1000 or 1000 utterly terrified
people assembled. None Of us knew
what to do. We waited in an agony
of fear. Men and women prayed and
groaned and shrieked. I saw n of
the big buildings fronting on the
square collapse. 1t seems to me that
scores of persons were buried be-
meath the ruins. Then I lost con-
seriousness and I remember no more"

Rome.-Lieutenant Saccarese, COM
mander of the torpedo boat Sappho,
which arrived at Porto Santa Venere,
thus describes the seaquake at Mes
sina:
1--WE were anchored off Messina
when, at $40 yesterday morning,
there was a fearful ~upheaying move
ment which, coming from the bottom
Of the sea, struck violently all the
ships anchored in the harbor.
"Then the sea suddenly arose into
a mountain of water which, running
down the strait, struck with a thun-
derous crash on the piers and jetty.
Ships Sunk at Anchor.
1.-THE bridge giving communication
between the breakwater and the shore
was swept away. Many ships at an
Choir in the harbor were totally
wrecked; the Austrian steamer An
Grassy was torn from her moorings
and ran amuck, greatly damaging
other steamers.
"In a few moments all the harbor
works were destroyed. The sea be-
came less agitated, and its surface ap-
peared to be absolutely covered with
barrels, casks and pieces Of broken
boats. Then a black cloud came over
and hid the town. t.
"Only when dawn broke vas it pos
seible to get an idea of what had hap
pened on land-a disaster whose hor-
ror and tragic magnitude no one car
describe. The whole town was re-
duced to ruins, among which stood
the sinister skeletons Of the Town
Hall and of the Hotel Trinacria. All

THE CALABRIAN CALAMITY.
City of Reggie Disappears Under the
Sea and is One Vast Sepulchre.

NV IN -
Naples.-Latest information re-
ceived here a y Reggie, in Calabria,
is a vast sepulchre, having been utter
ly destroyed. No part of the province
escaped the awful calamity.
The ominous absence of details
concerning Reggie proves to be due to
the fact that not only the city itself
but it's whole population, with the ex-
ception of a mere handful, has disap-
peared. ,
The warships which we're ordered
to relieve the survivors were unable
to approach the coast owing to the
changed confguration of the Strait of
Messina. Ultimately a torpedo boat
ran close to the shore, but was un-
able to discover a trace of the city. .
Where an aggregation of buildings
and busy streets stood two days ago
there was nothing but rocks n
earth. The city had vanished as COM
pletely as Aladdin's palace under the
magician's spell.
Only five of the city's 1900 in
habitants have yet been accounted
for. These unhappy wretches reached
Cattanzaro and Palmi half demented
by fright. They were scarcely able
to talk intelligibly, but their 1nco-
herent stories are sufficient to con-
firm the horrible fate Of the city.
In view of this latest development
of the catastrophe the death roll may
well reach $4,000. One estimate Is
100000 dead.
The Ministry of Marine has re-
ceived wireless reports Of the OBJ
struction of the Strait of Messina,
showing that its safe navigation will
be impossible until it Is recharted,
while its future navigation Is likely
to be extremely difficult. The news
has caused a deep impression here,
for it's consequences, from commercial
and military points Of view, will be
incalculable.
The strait was Of great strategic
Importance and the Government has
spent immense sums in fortifying 1t.
It is now anticipated that such forti-
i~cations as may be unchanged will
be useless. Moreover, the strait
formed the shortest route from Mar
settles, Genoa and Naples to Egypt
and India, and If it be found imprac-
ticable voyages to and from those
countries will be heightened by many
hours.
Even Scylla and Charybdis, the
great whirlpools in the Strait Of Mes
sina, which have resisted the forces
Of nature for centuries, were moved
by the tidal wave, thus rendering
navigation dangerous and preventing
aid, from reaching the stricken cities
by sea. The whole channel Of the
Strait Of ,Messina is altered.
