The authorities utter a warning
against the Enthusiastically exaggerated
reports constantly finding currency
among the excited and imaginative
populace. The affairs at Quelhas
Monastery was not very serious but
the whole interior. particularly OF the
church., was wrecked and destroyed
and the organ was destroyed, in the
mad search by soldiers and civilians
who invaded the buildings in search
for underground passages. by which
the imagined priests and municipal
guards, enormously suspected of hid
ing there, made their escape. NO Sc
cret passages were discovered but the
searchers tore down walls and benches
and even the altar in their vain en-
deavor.
Each day apparently adds to the
stability of the republic. The MEM
bers of the new administration assert
that adherence to the new principles
has been given by many outlying
towns and districts. Openly there are
no Royalist troops to oppose the
forces of the Republicans, and Lis
bon after two days of bloodshed and
a further brief period of disorder. is
quite as peaceful as weeks before the
revolution took place.

Rev. AIvah e. Kelley Leaves Bruins
wick for Easton Passionate.

Brunswick, Me, Oct. 9.-(SpcciaD--
Rev. Alvah E. Kelley preached his
farewell sermon at the Cumberland
Street Free Baptist church today,
having accepted call to the Free
Baptist church of Eastop. a town
81 miles north east of Houlton. Mr.
Kelley's many friends in Brunswick
greatly regret his departure. He is
a strong and earnest preacher and his
work in his church in this town has
commended him to people of all de-
nominations.
Mr.. Kelley came to Brunswick in
1908 from Bethel. He was originally
engaged in the grocery business in
Brunswick and Bath about - years
ago. In 1901 he began his work in
the ministry, his first church being
at Hebron and while preaching there
he was ordained. Later he went to
Falmouth and from there to Bethel.
While in Bath Mr.. Kelley was for one
year assistant secretary of the Bath

year. for which the total par value, ac-
cording to the Journal of Commerce.
fell to 1874, ASS, 00O, compared with $417,-
$4,000 in the second quarter of the

ital issues also accounts for the cutting
down of new enterprises and capital
outlay by the railroads and corpora

The poor showing of the government
report on cotton condition and storm
damage to that crop hurt none of the
stocks most nearly concerned.

Over so Colorado

least So men are the objects of heroic
efforts by rescuers who worked all day
trying to penetrate the black depths
of the mine in the hope that some or
possibly all of the miners might be
saved. Black damp made the work OF
tie rescuers extremely hazardous and
repeatedly members of parties were
overcome, necessitating retreat to the
open air.
Late today those experimenting the
work of rescue decided that no one
should enter the mine until a portable
fan was installed. Rescue work was
therefore called off for the time being
The fan reached the mine at o'clock

electrician of the Colorado Fuel and
