Terrible Earthquake
In The City
Of Mexico

led, seventy-five wounded; property
loss 100000.
These are the net results of the
earthquake which rent the capital
this morning and injected a note of
tragedy into what was expected to
be day of unalloyed rejoicing.

ins is completed it is possible that the
list of dead will be heightened some.

there doubtless are many wounded,
who, with traditional fear of the au-
thorities and government hospitals,
are anxious to evade discovery.
The property loss is an estimate
based on calculations made by own
ers and contractors. Little of the loss
is covered by insurance.
1t was 1896 o'clock when the first
shock was felt. According to the me-
THEOLOGICAL observatory, the greatest
intensity was reached at the end of
the first minute, but the instruments
continued to record the shocks for
four minutes or more
More than half of the dead account
ed for were soldiers. They were caught
beneath the falling walls of the ar
tillery barracks in San Cessna, near
the Mexican Central station Another
place where the earthquake took its
toll of death in considerable numbers
was at the city power plant of the
street car company. Here six were
killed and six wounded. Two others
were found in the debris, consisting
partly of steel rails which had been
stacked in the iron and wood depart
ments and which collapsed. The vic
Tins were inhabitants of little shacks
built beside the structure,
With these two exceptions the death
list was made up of single cases, OF

LEVAN RIDGE FARMERS
SUFFER FROM DROUGHT

Threatened With Loss Of
Their Crops.

Nephi, June 4.-Many of the farm.
ers on the Levan ridge are feeling the
effects of the prolonged dry spell.
Those who have new land planted, and
and those who planted n the spring,
or sowed too thickly, are standing in
danger of losing their crops unless
rain comes soon.
The rain which fell in Nephi last
Thursday evening scarcely extended
to the ridge, and as a result many
wheat farms are beginning to look yel

years.

WOMEN IN THE CHURCHES

Among the historical churches of
New England is the First Uniyersalist
church of Dana, Mass. 1t was founded
in 1897 by Hosea Ballou. Within a
few years a new church edifice has
been erected, one of the most beauti-
full in central Massachusetts, and Rev.
Annie P. Bailey has recently accepted
a unanimous call to become the pas
tor
This is the second time in the re-
cent history of this prosperous church
that woman has been settled over it
as pastor. The case is said to be
unique in the history of womans work
in the ministry.
Rev Mary L. Leggett, who has filled
the pulpit of the First Unitarian
church, of Revere, Mass, was formally
installed as permanent pastor a few
weeks ago.
Mrs. Orvis L. Randall of BrocktOn,
Mass, for many years connected with
the work at the Porter Congregations
church, has accepted call to become
pastors assistant to Rev. John L.
Keedy of the Congregational church,
North Andover. Among other activi-
ties, Mrs. Randall has carried on a
Baraca class in Brocton, where a hun

under her religious instruction during
the past five years.

oCALA'S EARLY HISTORY

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
The description of Ocala in 1856,
written by Mr.. James A. Harris for
the Banner, is the best and most accu-
rate of any have ever seen, and de-
serves to be preserved as part of the
history of the place at that period. But
he forgot to mention hotel, located
on the corner now occupied by the
Commercial Bank, owned by Mr.. Wa
terman, Judge Bullock's grandfather,
and kept by Mr.. Leigh. The stage
from Palatka stopped there, and it
was at this hotel that my husband
and l, two children and nurse spent
our first winter in Florida, the winter
of 1856.

eral farming in this state, and the il
Illustrations they gave of how hogs
should be taken care of was simply
grand. One acre in rape, seed cost
ing so cents or less, would take care
of $500 pounds of hogs for three
months, and that sorghum, corn, ETC.,
can be raised; so that farmers can
have feed for hogs twelve months in
the year.
Farmers, you don't know it all.
There is much to be learned. These
men are willing to aid you. Marion

secure these institute lectures. Farm
ers, wake up. Call an institute meet

you good. Yours truly,

MAD DOGS AT LARGE

Mad dogs running at large are
causing general uneasIness in Jack
sonville and the city authorities have
taken drastic measures for the protec
ton of the people Already one child
has died of hydrophobia, and a con
siderable number of other people have
been bitten by the rabid dogs.
1t is strange that, in the city like
Jacksonville, or indeed in any city OF
town, dogs without muzzIes on them
should be permitted to run at large
1t is not only the people of the city
that are endangered, but those of the
neighborhood outside are subject to
the peril, for mad dogs travel long
distances, often for ten miles or more
and bite every living creature with
whom they come in contact. Thus
the affiiction of Jacksonville may be
carried in a few days or weeks to dis
tant quarters of the state.
In view Of this fact, it seems to us
that We should have a state law re-
curing all dogs running at large
whether in town or country, to be
muzzled on pain of being outlawed
and shot by any citizen. Further, the
owners of such dogs should be severe
ly punished for permitting the INTO run
at large without muzzles.
The life of one child. which NAV be
sacrificed to their fury, is worth more
than many dogs.
Hydrophobia is a dreadful disease.
Those who die of it suffer unspeak-
able agonies. Even though the Pas
the transfer to the trustees and the
teur treatment, which is said to be an
effective cure, maybe readily acces-
sible, the person bitten by a mad dog
suffers mental fortunes until he feels
he is out of danger
A state law requiring all dogs run
ming at large to be muzzled would
nol OlIly ploCeCC the people from llllS
terrible malady, but would result in
the killing of many worthless dogs,
which is a contamination devoutly to
be wished
We have great respect for a good
dog, for he is a mans most loyal
friend, and he, too, deserves protec-
ton from his RABBIT brother Owners
of valuable dogs surely will not OBJ
ject to muzzling them, as by so doing
they secure their protection and also
the protection of their neighbours

AN INDUSTRIOUS PREACHER

The Dahlonega (Ga.) Nugget tells
Of it's new Methodist pastor, and if
some other name had not been given
we would have thought that it was
drawing a picture of Rev. J. B. Ley,
. the pastor of the Methodist church in
Ocala. The Nugget says: THE new
pastor of the Methodist church, al
though having been here but a short
time, has made many friends by his
Industrious and good, clever habits
Instead of sitting telling what Bishop
Gambler has said or inquiring who the
moneyed men are, he is at home
spending the time more useful IN
chopping wood fixing his garden or
preparing his sermons, and when the
time comes to preach he feels strong
and hearty, and is able to tell his con
gregation something of interest with
out becoming exhausted, caused by
too much idleness and laziness.'

A GOOD WORK FOR FLORIDA

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Mr.. McQuarrie and Prof. Spencer of
the Florida Farmers Institute corps
met with the farmers of the Reddick
precinct this morning at 10 o'clock
and gave us a talk on things pertain
ing to good farming.
An appropriation of $4,000 a year
has been made to carry on the farm
ers' institute work in this state, and
in the last nine months they have
held ISL public meetings, with an at
tendance that numbers many thous-
ands.
They began talking on rotation of
crops and soil building, and with both
charter and pictures made splendid
showing of how lands can be built up
and improved, and showed how lands
properly prepared and rightly worked
would yield more than double that of
the ordinary way of farming.
They said that the timber and naval
stores business would soon be gone
and Florida must depend on her agri-
cultural resources for her livelihood,
and that general, diversified farming
was best That vegetables three
out of five years. paid, and the other
two years were losers and too risky.
The comparison by pictures of Flor
ida corn and Kansas corn shows that
Florida can grow corn The average
crop of corn in some counties of
Florida run as high as 40 bushels to
the acre, while in Marion county, with
the best of land, the average is only
Is bushels to the acre. The difference
in yield. they claim, is preparation,
cultivation and fertilization. That
