PEASANTS FLEE CARRYING WITH

POSSESSIONS.
ERUPTION BECOMING SERIOUS
MAIN STREAM is FIFTY FEET
HIGH AND THIRD OF A MILE
WIDE.

Cantania, Sicily, Sept 14.-The
10000 inhabitants of Castiglione and
Francavilla turned their backs on
their homes today, fleeing before the
advancing flood of lava from Mount
Etna. Both towns are threatened with
destruction.
The discharge from the crater and
new fissures are increasing in volume.
The main stream, pouring down the
northwestern side of the volcano has
made it's way sluggishly about and
over the foothills toward the base,
crossed the railway and invaded the
valley of the Alcantara. Today the
front, fifty feet high and third of
a mile wide, broke over a long de-
clivity and, gathering velocity, forced
the peasant dwellers in its path to
make a hurried retreat. 1t cut off
the water supply of several villages.
When the stream was within three
miles of Castiglione and Francavilla
che people collected their portable
property and made for the higher
places.

RECIPROCITY Will Be
The PRINCIPAL ISSUE
RIVAL POLITICAL FACTIONS IN
CANADA PREPARE FOR
ELECTION.

Toronto, Sept. 14.-Candidates all
over the dominion of Canada entered
today the reciprocity contest which
will be decided one week hence. For
the first time since the Liberal vic
tory in 1906, the Conservatives again
have chance of controlling the pol
icy of the country.
1t is conceded that reciprocity will
sweep Alberta and Saskatchewan and
split Manitoba. British Columbia
probably will return seven conserva-
tives. Perhaps the real battle-ground
is Ontario, because if the rural vote
in dozens of close constituencies goes
strongly for the liberal policy, the bor-
der will not be able to make large
enough gains to defeat reciprocity.
Quebec, the stronghold of Sir Will
frid Laurier, is the only part Of the
country in which reciprocity is not
the supreme issue.

RESULT IN MAINE
Still DOUBTFUL
INDICATION is THAT REPEAL OF
PROHIBITION HAS CARRIED
BY SMALL VOTE.

Portland, Me-, Sept 14.-Returns
received at the office of the secre-
tary of state up to noon today with
only six towns missing and these six
supplied by returns received in Port
land show:
For repeal of prohibition, 60517.
Against repeal, 60,3S3.
Majority for repeal, 1874.
If the figures received in Portland
from Limestone, Matinicus Isle and
Topsfield, which have been shown to
be reversed when compared with
those received in Augusta, are al.
lowed, they will show a victory
against repeal of 1856.
An official recount will probably oe
necessary to determine the result OF
the balloting.

for the kids in both the public schools
and the students of the Normal.

four days of real vacation out of the
sight of their instructors at a time

later and school days in November
will be so broken up that that month

two months of the hardest work OF
the year will have been done and a
trip to the Ancient City to attend the
convention will be restful as well
