Better be a bank-account man than
a no-account man. The way to
prosperity and happiness is paved
witn good intentions put into exe
cution. If you feel that you really
ought to be saving something out
of earnings for after life, don't let
the good impulsego unheeded. The
person who is soured on life is the
one who has neglected to put into
force the simple rules oi success.
Start an account with the bank to
day. Pay your bills by cheek and
your money troubles will be over.

IS
BY THREE QUAKES
CALIFORNIA TOWN DAMAGED BY
EARTH SHOCKS.
CITIZENS ARE TERRIFIED
Rush from Their Beds Into Streets
as Chimneys Tumble Down
and Windows Are
Smashed.
Eureka. Cal., Aug.19. Three sharp
earthquake shocks, which knocked
down more than 100 chimneys, shat
tered about 40 plate glass windows in
the business portion of Eureka, broke
much crockery in the house and sent
many people scurrying from their
beds into the streets, occurred here
early Tuesday. The damage reported
so far is estimated at between $2,000
and $3,000.
The first and sharpest shock came
at 2:58 a. m. It was almost as se
vere as the one felt here on April 18,
1906. At 3:08 another slighter shock
was experienced, followed by a third
at 5:30 o'clock.
First Shock Does Damage.
The first shock caused practically
all the damage. Besides shaking down
many chimneys and breaking crock
ery the trembler caused the 16-foot
statue of Minerva on the county court
house grounds to drop her heavy staff
which crashed through the roof of
Superior Judge Hunt's court room.
The walls of the courthouse were
cracked in several places, but the
damage is not great.
The walls of the Carnegie library
building, erected five years ago at a
cost of $25,000, were slightly cracked.
Big Fissure in Earth.
Reports from the Seazy ranch, near !
Freshwater, six miles north of Eu
reka, state that the earthquake caused
a big fissure in the earth for half a
mile. A number of chimneys were
thrown down in that vicinity, but oth
erwise little damage was done.
The shock extended as far north as
Blue Lake, 25 miles from Eureka,
where some crockery was broken and
half a dozen chimneys knocked down.
The shocks seem to have been con
fined to a small area and the vibra
tions were southwest to northeast.
San Francisco, Aug. 19. The weath
er bureau here has no report ef
earthquake anywhere except at Eu
reka, which seemed to have been a
local disturbance of slight severity.
Washington, Aug. 19. Neither at
the weather bureau nor at the coast
and geodetic survey observatory at
Cheltenham. Md., was any seismo
graph record made of the earthquake
shock reported from Eureka. Cal.,
Tuesday.
Michigan Town Burns.
Sault Ste.-Marie. Mich., Aug. 19.
A telephone message from Gore Bay,
Manltou island, says the business sec
tion of the town has bee'n practically
wiped out by fire. Fifteen business
places and the lighthouses are burned.
The town has 1.000 Inhabitants.
The loss Is $150,000, partly Insured.
Dr. Hopkins Dead.
Williaiutown. Mass.. Aug. 19. Dr.
Henry Hopkins, former president of
Williams college, died of pneumonia
at Rotterdam, Holland, Tuesday, ac
cording to a cablegram received by
his brother. Col. A. L. Hopkins of this
town. Dr. Hopkins had been ill for
six days.
A Paying Investme nt
Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave..
Houlton, Maine,says:"Have been troul "
led with a cough every winter and
spring. Last winter I tried many ad
vertised remedies, but the cough contin
ued untill I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr.
King's New Descovery; before that was
half gone, the cough was all gone. This
winter the same happy result has fol
lowed; a few doses once more banished
the r.nnoal cough. I am now convinced
that Dr. King's New Discovery is tie
best of all cough and lung remedies."

CASTRO SLAPS AT FRANCE
BRAZILIAN MINISTER CANT
HANDLE ITS INTERESTS.
French Affairs in Caracas Are Being
Neglected Because ef the Pres
ident's Ruling.
Caracas, via Wllleraatad, Aus. II.
sensation has been caused la diplo
matic circles by the refusal of Presi
dent Castro to permit the BratllUu
minister to take charge of Frcncfc In
terests In Venezuela, although Dr.
Jose Paul the Venezuelan minister of
foreign affairs, originally agree t
'this arrangement.
Am a consequence of the attitude of
President Castro, the foreign minister
has Indited a Becond note to the effect
that the government now refueos to
accede to this arrangement because
the dispute between Venezuela and
France bears a close relation to Ven
esuela's dispute with the United States
and the proposed arrangement would
therefore endanger the continuance of
friendly relations with Brazil.
The French interests necessarily are
being neglected and many monthly In
stalments due to French claimants
are still uncollected. It is very unlike
ly, in view of the present state of af
fairs, that President Castro will per
mit the representative of any of the
foreign countries to take the French
intorests in hand.
President Castro has left for a trip
to Barqulsimento, embarking on the
gunboat Restaurador for Tucacas,
which is about 25 miles from Puerto
Cabello. The president invited the
British minister to accompany him.
which is believed to be significant in
view of the present crisis.
The Haguo, Aug. 19. With the
single proviso that no military occu
pation of territory must occur, the
government at Washington is under
stood to have given the cabinet of
the Neiherlands a free hand to deal
as it sees fit with President Castro
of Venezuela.
The Netherlands cruiser Friesland
does not sail for the Caribbean before
the end of next month.
CANAL DONE IN FIVE YEARS?
Col. Goethals Is Expected to Bring
That Promise Next Month.
Washington, Aug. 19. That the
Panama canal can be completed with
in five years and at much less cost to
the government than has been general
ly supposed is the information which
Col. Goethals, engineer in charge ,of
the work, is expected to bring Secre
tary of War Wright from the isthmus
next month.
Col. Goethals contemplates a trip to
this country in September for the
purpose of conferring with Secretary
Wright on canal zone matters. One
of the subjects of discussion will be
the estimates for the next year, to be
submitted to congress at the coming
session. While here Col. Goethals will
make a trip to Oyster Bay to discuss
the situation with the president. He
will return to Panama before the vari
ous congressional committees arrive
there early in November to inspect
the work.

Remarkable Rifle Shooting.
Camp Perry. O., Aug. 19. What is

dinary long range rifle shooting ever
seen In America was accomplished
Tuesday by Capt. K. K. V. Casey of
the First Delaware in the Leech and

HAD A ROW AT
CEDAR CREEK
Drunken Rowdies Assault B. E. Hill;
Beat Him Up and Break His Arm.
Last Tuesday night B. E. Hill and
wife, who were camped near Cedar
Creek on a fishing trip, were made the
victims of an assault and attempted
criminal assault by a gang of drunken
rowdies. Hill and his wife had been
camped there for several days, and
about 9:30 Tuesday night they were at
their tent when five men, much the
worse for liquor, came up to the tent
from the direction of Cedar Creek. The
men were very boisterous and made
Hill a proposition to turn his wife over
to them on condition they leave him
alone. He refused to listen to their vile
proposal and they immediately assaulted
him beating him up badly and break
ing his arm. One man who had ac
companied them made an effort to pre
vent the trouble, and actually prevented
one of the ruffians hitting Hill over the
head with a beer bottle, very likely
saving the man's life. After beating him
up badly the gang left without making
any further attempt upon Mrs. Hill.
The couple retired to their tent and
in about an hour and a half later one of
the members of the gang, accompanied
by another man, reappeared at the tent
and warned the couple not to put their
heads out of the tent or they would kill
them. They also represented that one
of them was the sheriff and that he
would stop the trouble if Mrs. Hill was
sent out to them. Nothing came of
this second attempt, and the parties
failing in their hellish design again re
tired. The Hills spent the remaind er
of the night in terror, fearing lest the
villains would return and do them
further injury.
When morning came medical attend
ance was obtained for Mr. Hill and his
injured arm dressed. This morning he
came to the city and filed a complaint
against Ed. Downing, Joe Keenar
Richard Roe, John Smith and Thomas
Jackson before Justice Archer, Acting
County Attorney Will Robertson ap
pearing for the state. Justice Archer
immediately issued warrants in the case
and delivered them to Sheriff Quinton
who left on the Schuyler to serve them.
It is thought that the parties will be
apprehended without trouble, altho
there is a possibility some of them may
take the alarm and leave.
