AVALANCHE OF MUD.
Rassiaa Tons Overwhelmed by- a
Moaatala La ad slide.
An avalanche of mud and alime over
whelmed the township of Kwarell, a few
miles from Tiflis. Practically without
warning the side of a mountain rising
over the district broke away and people
and cattle were burled.
At least 255 persons have been buried
alive. The streets are flooded alz feet
deep with yellow mud. Acres of crops
have been destroyed and hundreds of head
of cattle.
The township of Kwarell occuptes an
area of about five kilometers In the val

disasters, but of less magnitude, are fre
auent la the valley of the Transcaucasus,
but never before has such an avalanche

Kwarell is In the mountainous regions
vt the Caucasus, where the mountains are
of a neml-volcanic nature and where hot

Stensland made a voluntary state

TO RESTORE GREAT GAME.
tio vera meat pranoaes ta Establish
a Nalarat Preserve.
Nearly 00,000 acres in one natural
game preserve I Such Is the new enter
prise which the national government la
establishing In Oklahoma.
Aa far beck as tribal tradition runs,
the Wichita mountain region has been the
favorite hunting grounds of the Comanche
and Kiowa Indians, drawn thither by
abundance of game and delightful cli
mate. But now game, like the Indians,
l largely a thing of the past. It la pro
posed to reproduce In this splendid nat
ural park all the best species of game
animals and birds that once made the
great West the hunter's paradise. Deer,
antelope, bear, the otter and beaver, quail
and doves, prairie chickens and wild tur
keys will be given protection and encour
aged to increase and multiply.
Probably the most Interesting feature
of the undertaking will be an effort to
have. In the course of years, large herds
of buffalo again roaming the plains
within the reservation as they did before
the pitiless warfare ujon them was car
ried so nearly to the point of extermina
tion. At present the preserve Is tenanted only
by such game birds and animals, pitiably
few in number, as have escaped the horde
of hunters who have overrun that region
ever since Oklahoma was opened to set
tlement. The animals of Importance are
deer, antelope, small black bear, mountain
lions, bobcats, wolves, coyotes, otter and
beaver. Before the adjacent country was
opened for settlement, deer and antelope
were plentiful, but both have been slaugh
tered almost to extermination. The deer
are usually found on the high ridges, while
the antelope feed in the prairies. Both,
however, can still bo found in sufficient
numbers to form a start for large herds,
if they were given the necessary protection.
More Hippie Securities.
The investigation of the affairs of thi
wrecked Heal Estate Trust Company of
Philadelphia diwlosed more than $5,000,

operations. These notes were part of
deals worked solely by the late President
Hippie. Receiver Earle made public his
reorganization plans as follows : The de
positors to receive one-third of their de
posits In cash and to agree to accept pre
ferred stock for the remaining two-thirds,
this preferred stock to be retired by cash
payments later on when the company de
clares the 8 per cent dividend; the direc
tors to subscribe $2,500,000, This plan
has been approved by the directors and
waits the approval of the depositors and

Homeopaths Analnat Absorption.
When the international homeopathio
congrem began its sessions at Atlantic
City Dr. William E. Green, president of
the American Institute of Homeopathy,
delivered an address, the keynote of which
was "no corapromiHe wUh allopaths." The,
applause which greeted this address show
ed plainly that a majority of the congress
was against the proposed amalgamation
with the dominant school of medicine.
Dr. William H. Diffscbach advanced the ,
striking theory that many cases of cancer !
are due to the modern introduction of
enamel ware in the kitchens. His argu
ment was that chipping of the hard-coated
dishes caused dangerous particles of for- ,
elfin matter to become mixed with the !
food, and that they started cancerous
growths in the stomach by abrasions made
in the walls of the organ. The mortality
from cancer was steadily growing. Dr.
Henry E. Dean, the British army expert
on preventing the pread of the bubonia .
plague, assailed the generally accepted
theory that rats are the principal ogency
or spreading this disease.

WRECKED BY DYNAMITE.
Explosion at Jelllco, Tens,, Does
1,000,000 Damage.
A terrific dynamite explosion at Jellieo,
Tenn., caused the loss of at least nln
lives and more or less seriously injured
not less than fifty people. Property dam
age estimated at $1,000,000 was done and
the town of Jellieo, Ky., was practically
destroyed. At least 500 people are home
less. Without exception every business
house In the town Is either totally wreck
ed or badly damaged. The union station
of the Southern railway and the Louis
ville and Nashville railroad, located about
100 yards from the scene of the explo
sion, was shattered to splinters. This cut
off all telegraphic communication and
news of the explosion was handled bj
telephone.
The explosion occurred upon the Ken
tucky side of Jellieo, and In consequence
every business house on that side of th
town 'was wrecked. Not one was spared.
A large number of residences located neai
the railroad on the Kentucky side wer
demolished. As a result It is estimated
thnt one-seventh of the population of the
two Jellicos Is homeless.
A car loaded with dynamite, and con
signed to the Rand Powder Company, wai

from spontaneous combustion in the car.
The spot where tho car stood Is marked
by a crevasse In the earth fully twenty
feet deep and about thirty feet In diame
