perhaps one of the best known agri-

looked up to for advice on social and
political questions of the hour.
When Mr.. 'Mowry discovers any,
thing worth while he always makes it
point to share his knowledge with
his many friends. This perhaps is
one OF the reasons he is so popular
throughout the state.
Recently he disco vered new herb
medicine that put an end to a case oil
stomach and kidney trouble that had
been making life miserable for him
Tor some time past But before he
decided to tell his friends about it he
gave this medicine further test to
make sure that his deliverance from
pain and sickness was not merely the
result of happy coincidence. Bu

New Earthquake Wrecks Capital
OF Guatemala,

Washington, Dec. 3O.-A ter
rife new earthquake has com.
pletcd the destruction caused by
others, beginning Christmas
day, in Guatemala, and the en-.
tire capital city and many other
towns are merely piles of debris.
Advices to the navy depart
ment tonight reported $4,000
persons homeless and many kill
ed by falling walls. ....
The latest and most severe of
the'earthquakes occurred yester-
day, four days after the first of
series which has wrecked the
country. Naval dispatches re-
ported cold and intense suffering
in some sections of Guatemala
and urged that relief be sent.
So severe was the last quake
that it was distinctly recorded
as lasting more than an hour on
the selsmograph Of Georgetown
University here. The previous
quakes, because of their dis.
lance, had not been noted by
this instrument. This was stat
ed by scientists at the University
as complete proof of the severity
Of the earth tremors.
The navy department has sent
radio messages to all naval ves-
sells in the stricken country. to|
give all assistance possible.

PIRATES AGAIN.

f1RA E<O AdA1T.
The Gallinipper, one of the
squadron of Commodore Porter,
has recaptured from the pirates
the schooner Pilot Of Norfolk.
The Pilot was run on shore by
the pirates and a great many
KILLED and wounded !; not a man
en- board the Gallinipper was
hurt ; one pirate was taken pris
ouer. the balance escaped. The
Pilot was got off by the boats of
the Gallinipper. An English
brig was boarded by the pirates
in sight of the inha bitants of
Havana, and nothing was heard
| of her afterwards, it was sun
down when she was boarded. 1t
is supposed that all hands were
murdered and the vessel sunk.
The Pilot while ii possession of
the pilates robbed the brig Me-
h hanic Of Portland. While the
Pilot was lying off the Moro,
the p1ratical Captain sent word
to the Americans at Havana,
that he would convoy any Amer
lean vessel in port. The United
States Schooner Jackall will give
convoy from Havana, three times
a week, as far as the Double
Headed Shot Keys.
