FOUR STATES QUAKE
ILLINOIS, MICHIGAN, WISDOM
SIN AND IOWA TREMBLE.
Big Chicago Skyscrapers Tremble
Like Human Beings-The
Panic Was Widespread

Chicago.-Chicago and four states
were rocked by an earthquake Wednes-
day morning, throwing at least half Of
its inhabitants into mortal terror
Every city, village and hamlet in
Northern Illinois felt the shock and the
panic was widespread. Iowa, Michigan
and Wisconsin were also in the path of
the trembler. Thousands of persons were
aroused from their slumbers, and in the
foreign settlements of Chicago, particu-
larly where Italians and Sicilians con-
gregate, there was alarm which gave rise
to wailing and prayers as the inhabi-
tants thought that they were about to
suffer the same fate which destroyed so
many thousands of their countrymen.
Big skyscrapers in the downtown dis
trio trembled like living beings with the
ague. Many dilapidated old structures
collapsed in different parts of the city,
dishes were thrown off the shelves and
broken, windows were cracked in many
portions of the residence districts of May
wood, Evanston and other suburban
towns, and many residents were so
frightened that they ran into the street
fearing that the roofs were about to fall
wer their heads.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY MADE
United States Has Been System
atically Robbed.

New York.-A handsome big French
steamer trunk, brought into port by a
wealthy Boston woman, has revealed to
the customs men not only $4,000 worth
of struggled gowns concealed under a
false bottom, but also the fact that such
trunks are being regularly manufactured
by firm in Paris, especially for the
American trade"
In other words, Smuggling trunks"
are staple commodity in the French
capital.
The Struggled goods were regarded as
big haul for the keen-eyed inspectors.
But the discovery of red leather label
on the trunk, reading "Aux Etats Unis'
flor the United States), really meant
much more. The customs representa-
tives on the other side of the water have
already begun looking for the manu-
facturer of the false bottomed boxes.

BREAKS SPEED RECORD
BATTLEsHIP MISSISSIPPI GOES
297 MILES IN IA HOURS.
On the Way to Horn Island, Where
Presentation of Silver Service
Will Be Made.

New Orleans.-Several hours ahead of
her schedule, and having broken all rec
ords for speed, the big battleship Missis-
sippi reached the navy yards off here
at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. Having
left Natchez at o'clock, the trip, dis
lance of 297 miles, was made in the
marvelously short time of IA hours.
1t was fitting that the finish Of the
cruise of the battleship to the state after
which she is named should be a record
breaker. The cruise itself broke all rec
ords-records for the size of the vessel,
for the hospitality of the people and for
the interest excited and the good the
trip has done.
So, when the big warship got under
draft and was headed down the stream,
Capt. Fremont decided to "let her out a
little" Aided by the current, and headed
in to wind which helped the draft
of her boilers, she soon made speed of
20 knots an, hour, which, Commander
Cluyerius laaghingly remarked, "makes
her the fastest battleship of this or of
any other navy"

PREVENT NIGHT RIDING
SENATOR BRADLEY SAYS FREE
TOBACCO is REMEDY.
Oppression of Growers by Tobacco
Trust Has Caused All
the Trouble.

Washington.-Tha the outrages OF
the night riders in Kentucky and Ten
nessee resulted from the oppression of
the American Tobacco Company and that
unless the internal revenue tax on leaf
tobacco in the hand is repealed, these
outrages will again occur, was the dec
laration made by Senator Bradley OF
Kentucky in urging the adoption of his
amendment to the senate bill.
This amendment proposes to restore
in the tariff bill the house provision for
the free sale of leaf tobacco by the farm
er, which. was stricken out by the finance
committee of the senate.
After reviewing the growth of the
American Tobacco Company, Mr.. Brad
ley said that, not content with destroy
ing all competition in the United States,
this concern drove the Imperial Tobac-
co Company of Great Britain, its chief
competitor, to a compromise and OBJ
tanned an agreement by which the I'M
perial yielded up all competition in the
United States.

TEXAS MOB LYNCHES NEGRO
Beat Jailer Insensible, Shoot Black
in His Cell.

Abilene, Tex.-After an hours des-
perate attempt to break down the doors,
windows and even walls of the county
Jail, mob armed with shotguns and
revolvers, fred into the cell of Tom
Barnett, shooting him to death. Bar
nett was convicted a short time ago of
numbering Alex Sears, who was prom
inent and rich cattleman of West Texas.
The mob formed at 1 o'clock and
marched to the Jail, where the immediate
surrender of Barnett was demanded. The
guards fatty refused to let any one en-
ter the cell and refused to turn over Bar
nett. Then followed the attempt to
break into Barnett's cell. The author
tiles were caught unawares because of
the hour when the attack was made, and
by the time sufficient forces gathered to
cope with the mob, Barnett had been
shot to death.

WORST FLOOD IN YEARS.
Trains on Three Railroad Systems
Indefinitely Annulled.

Meridian Miss.-Three more inches of
rainfall were today added to the record
breaking downpour of Monday night and
yesterday, and tonight all of the large
streams south of Meridian are reported
still rising The rise, too, has passed all
previous high-water marks, and the dam
age will not be known until the water
recedes.
All trains south and west of Meridian
on the Alabama and Vicksburg, Mobile
and Ohio and New Orleans and North
eastern roads have been indefinitely an
nulled. Each road is reported to have
suffered the loss of many miles of road
bed and numbers of trestles. The Mobile
and Ohio, Alabama Great Southern and
Southern Railway are maintaining trains
north of Meridian, but are slow sched-
ules.
Tonight it is reported from the local
weather bureau that Enterprise and Shu-
buta are in the grasp of the worst flood
in history The water in the business
district of Enterprise being almost to
the second stories of some business build
ings, and Shubuta being an island, en-

OVER THE FENCE
Neighbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is a famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor. Sometimes it is only small
talk but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas, got
some mighty good advice this way
once.
He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia, kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
my stomach, back and side, and SO
weak could scarcely walk.
"One day was chatting with one of
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her l believed coffee hurt me-
Neighbor said she knew lots of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit it and give
Postum a trial. l did not take her
advice right away but tried a change
OF climate, which did not do me any
good. Then dropped coffee and took
up Postum.
My improvement began immediate.
ly and got better every day l used
Postum.
My bowels became regular in two
weeks, all my pains were gone Now
am well and strong and can eat any
thing want to without distress. All
OF this is due to my having quit cot
fee. and to the use of Postum regu
larly.
My son who was troubled with indi
gestion thought that If Postum helped
me so, 1t might help him. 1t did, too,
and he is now well and strong again.
We like Postum as well as we ever
liked the coffee and use it altogether

NOT A MATTER OF LOYALTY.
Simple But lnsuperable Reason Why
Subject Could Not kneel
Before His King.

One fancies that few types of men,
can, from time to time, have afforded
royalty more amusement of quiet
sort than provincial mayors of Eng
land. From the Foreland to Pen
zance," by Give Holland. contains the
story of mayor of Weymouth who,
during one of the visits of King
George to the town, was destined to
afford comic relief to a ceremony Of
some Importance.
The occasion was the presentation
of an address of welcome to the king,
and we are told that the mayor, on ap-
preaching to present it, to the aston
ishment and dismay of all, instead of
kneeling, as he had been told to do,
seized the queens hand to shake IL
as he might that of any other lady.
Col. Gwynne, the master of the cere
monies, hurriedly told him of the
faux pas, saying you should have
kneeled, sir"
"Sir, cannot" was the reply.
Everybody does, sir" holly asserted
the colonel.
The mayor grew red, and evidently
much upset, exclaimed: "Confound it,
sir, but I've got wooden leg!"
History records that "a smile suf.
fused the face of her majesty, and the
king laughed outright" -Youth's Com.

GEN. TAYLOR'S MEN EXHUMED
Bodies of 1877 Soldiers Removed to
Fort Brown.

Brownsville, Textile bodies of 157
of Gen. Zachary Taylor's soldiers arrived
here Friday for burial in the National
Cemetery at Fort Brown. These bodies
were unearthed from the old earthworks
built at Isabel by Gen. Taylor.
A few bones of these sofdiers were
found few months ago where the rains
had washed the earth away. United
States army buttons found with them
identified them as soldiers remains. The
government sent a representative to in
vestigate, resulting in an order to re-
move the bodies to Fort Brown for
burial.
The excavation uncovered the number
named. They were coffined and shipped
to Brownsville and will be buried in the
National Cemetery at once.
