STA Since First Of the Year

Bari, Italy Aug 20.-The epidemic
OF cholera, which has broken out In
southern Italy. is steadily showing an
Increase In the districts affected. par
ticularly In the town of TRAM, where
the number Of deaths already is more
than thirty.
The latest oficial report gave TWEEN
~ deaths at TRAM showing the ra.
pidity with which the disease Is In
crsaslng there. The epidemic is OF a
virulent type and the death rate Is
high.
Even graver danger Is anticipated
from the fleeing population OF the In
fected districts. who may bear the
germs OF the disease to regions not
yet involved. TRAM seems almost de-
serted as result OF a panic. 10000
OF the residents. fully one-half OF the
population. having fed the town. Fully
as many have escaped from the Island
town OF Barletta.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena. who are at Turin. are display
ing great anxiety over the outbreak OF
the cholera In the south. and the king
has given orders that he be kept con
stantly informed on conditions In the
infected regions.
The Queen is especially touched by
the reports OF the distress among the
people OF the Province OF Beri dele
Puglle. and has made inquiries re-
garding their needs. ordering that as
slstance be given them. for which she
will pay out OF her private purse.
The king has already lntimated his
intention OF Initiating his father. who.
In 1885, fearless Of danger, proceeded
to Naples and remained among the
cholera patients. who were dying at
the rate Of a thousand a day.
II would be a serious thing II the
king determined to proceed to the
cholera district. for the queen has
positively declared that she would
share the risks Of the king Her mai.
esty accompanied the king to Messlna
and to Avellino. when they were over.
thrown by earthquakes. and on these
occasions she insisted upon being at
the front. not sparing herself any
hardship.

affection exists between them. This
is pointed to as another possible
source Of reconciliation. as the son

The John Jacob Astors are liked
here. not alone because Of their
wealth and social prominence in New
York and elsewhere. They have been
directly identified with the life OF
Newport for many years and have
done much to advance the interest OF
the community. Nothing would do
more to cement the social life Of the
famous resort than a reconciliation.
Colonel Aston planned several DAYS
ago to leave Saturday on his yacht
for Bar Harbor with Vincent Astor
and Richard Peters. It Is also known
that he arranged to leave Newport as
soon as he learned some days ago
that his former wife was coming here.

LAFKY
KICKED BY HORSE

Earnest Lafky, the 17-year-old
son of J. F. Lafky, was brought to
the city yesterday suffering from in
juries sustained by a kick from
horse, and was Immediately taken TO
the Salem Hospital where his
wounds were dressed. While in con-
siderable pain he is resting easily
today, and his physicians say that
it will only be matter of a short
time until he will have completely
recovered.
The accident occurred near Park
er which is six miles distant from
independence. Lafky had hitched
up a horse which he was breaking,
to drive to a cart and as he was
driving down a hill the animal be-
came frightened and began to kick
1t succeeded in planting ont of its
kicks in the back of Lafky's head
and when picked up some time af-
forwards by the roadside he was
found in an unconscious condition.
He was taken to Independence and
from there was brought to the city,
