MEXICO CITY, Jan. IS. One of the most terrible disasters in the history of the state of Guerrero is reported to have occurred late yesterday after noon. An extremely violent earth quake shock was felt at Chilpancingo, causing a great loss of life and injur ing many persons. Details from the stricken district are very meager, but ' -scattering reports received herei ndi eaie thai probably 300 persoBS were killed and as many more injured. It la known that the state capital, the pariah church and many business houses and residences were in ruins and that there is much suffering as a result of the awful seismic disturb ance. One of the edifices that suffer ed most was the federal telegraph of ice. which explains the scarcity of sews thus far. Meager details finally began to ar rive here. The telegraph lines and apparatus at Chilpancingo were badly damaged, but the employes, all of whom were uninjured, quickly pro ceeded to erect an improvised tele graph office on the outskirts of the city. The number of deaths was greater in the parish church than any other single place, as a crowd of wor shipers was gathered there for the afternooa service. The solid masonry walls and the roof came toppling down c the worshipers and many of those within were killed. The war department has ordered troops in the neighborhood to co-operate in the work of rescue. Until the work is completed it will be impos sible to accurately learn the number of victims. It is believed, however, that this is one of the most destruc tive earthquakes that ever occurred in Mexico. The greater part of the population of the city ar now camp ing out under tents around the town, which is flv days journey from the national capital. Earthquake shocks were felt in many other cities and towns. In Mex ico City the earthquake occurred at 5:07 p. m. yesterday and was of such violence as to shake the most substan tial buildings. The Pan-American congress was in session at the time id, many of the delegates were great ly alarmed. The first movement here was one of trepidation and was very sharp. It was followed by an easy oscillatory movement northeast to south-southwest. The duration was fifty-five seconds. The damage in this city was slight. The state of Guerrero has always been the focus of eismic disturb ances. Reports received here state the shock was very severe at Chilapa. No casualties are so far reported from there. The duration of the Chil pancingo shock was Ies than that in Mexico City, bavins lasted fifty sec onds, against fifty-five seconds at the capital. Up to 11 o'clock tonight no further news had come from the stricken city. The earthquake was also intense at Igulia. in the stat of Gurrro. de stroying the parish church and many buildings. Among the latter was the sugar mill of General Fnsbie. The mill had just been completed and fit ted up with American machinery at a cost of $200,000. The property los is immense throughout the state o Guerrero. The Association Press correspond ent has just seen a private telegram from Chilpancingo saying: "I and fam ily are safe: many houses destroyed." CrrasTT Maa Disappear. CEDAR RAPIDS. la.. Jan. IS. W.

LtitS FAM ra A.i tm Cttt- OMAHA. Jan. 18. G. W. Wattles, president, and E. E. Bruce, secretary, of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition commission of Nebraska, have issued a circular" calling for funds for the purpose of preparing exhibits for that exposition, as authorized by the meet ing of the commissioners at Lincoln. The circular is as follows: "To the Citizens of Nebraska: The Louisiana Purchase exposition at St. Louis. Mo., in 1903. will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the purchase from France of the Louisiana terri tory. By this peaceful transaction the area of the United States was more than doubled. The rapid devel opment of this territory during the last century has no parallel in his tory. The United States government has recognized the importance of the great exposition which wilt commemo rate the event of the acquisition of this territory, by an appropriation of $5,000,000. The city of St. Louis has appropriated an equal amount and the citisena of that city have sub scribed $10,000,000 more. In all there has been appropriated and subscribed more than $25,000,000 at this date. "Nebraska Is one of the most popu lous and important states in this ter ritory, but no appropriation has been made to defray the expenses of an exhibit of its resources at thia ex position. Four years ago the Trans Mississippi and International Exposi tion, which brought great credit to this state, was liberally patronized by every state in the union and by private subscriptions or public appro priations was assisted by nearly ev ery state in the west. Recognizing the importance of the Louisiana Pur chase exposition, the many reasons why Nebraska should be represented, and the necessity for immediate preparation, the governor has ap pointed the undersigned commission, without remuneration, to raise the necessary funds by private donations and to prepare and place on exhibit a proper representation of the products and resources of this state. We ap peal to all patriotic citizens of Ne braska, to corporations, both public and private, to all interested in the welfare and prosperity of this state, and to all who have pride in its past and hope for its future achievements. to assist in this worthy enterprise. The credit and state pride of our com monwealth appeal to all patriotic citi zens to do their duty in this emerg ency, and we ask for a liberal re sponse, to the end that Nebraska may be properly represented at this great exposition. AH contributions or fu ture pledges should be sent to Mr. E. E. Bruce, treasurer, Omaha, Neb. (Signed) GURDON W. WATTLES. J. STERLING MORTON. C. H. RUDGE. H. S. WHITE. E. E. BRUCE. Commissioners. STATE LOOKS TO ftOMSMEN Nabraaka ia Not sotlaslns With Bart ley for Sattlaaacn. LINCOLN. Jan. IS. Attorney Gen eral Prout denied the report that the state board of compromise is nego tiating for a settlement of the short age of former Treasurer Bartley. "Several weeks ago the board had a proposition from the bondsmen, but it was romptly turned down.' said he. "The beard has taken no steps what ever toward the settlement of the claim against the bondsmen. The of fer they made was so insignificant that we decided not to give it to the public. Nor have any steps been taken by the board toward a settlement with Joseph Bartley." The case of the state against the bondsmen is still pending before the supreme court and it will be called for hearing at an early day. There is some likelihood of the bondsmen mak ing another effort to effect a com promise before the case is submitted, but it is not likely that the board will take the initiative.

Ladd The. governor theav delivered his inasgural address. At the conclusion the governor was es corted by the members cf the legis lature in carriages to the state house, where he formally took charge of the office. In the evening Governor and Mrs. Cummins held a reception at the state house. In bis inaugural address Governor Cummins spoke of the pride he shar ed with all in citizenship in a state so pre-eminent in the sisterhood of states which make up our great coun try. On the question of industrial combinations he spoke of the evili which follow in the wake of overcap italization and throttling of competi tion. "Every corporation should be required to have its capital stock paid for at par in money." he said, "before it is authorized to do business. The genius for deception has been too of ten accepted as legal tender for stock it should be declared the counterfeit it is." He can see no hope in state leg islation. "I believe the question is a national one," he said, "and the time has come to nationalize it. I am not an advocate of a general re vision of the tariff, but I stand for competition, the competition of the re public if possible, but of the world if necessary. I regard the consequences of a monopoly in any important pro duct as infinitely more disastrous than the consequences of foreign importa tions." On the topic of taxation Governor Cummins said: "The most flagrant defect in the execution of our taxing law is disclosed in the escape of so large a part of the personal property within our jurisdiction from the view of the assessor. I believe that there ought to 'be imposed a reasonable pen alty for the failure to list taxable property." He also devoted some at tention to the subject of railroad tax ation, pointing out the inadequacy of the existing law and suggesting need ed improvements. An appropriation for the St. Louis exposition is urged and liberal provisions for the mainte nance of state institutions. TAKES UF IAWAIIAN COWS.

Yet there are many eminent physicians. these most advanced in their profes sions, who give full credit to the great curative properties of Yogtler's Cura tive Compound, from the fact that it !s manufactured by an old and reliable company, proprietors of St. Jacob's Oil. from the formula of a brother physi cian, who to-day stands in the front ranks of the most eminent medical men ia London, and on account of its intrin sic merit, it is largely prescribed by the medical profession; but. in the case which we are about to relate, the at tending physician called it "rubbish," but. as it turned out. Mrs. Nettletoa tells the doctor that "rubbish or not. it saved her life." Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the particulars of her own case, which will doubtless be of interest to maay of our lady readers: "I had been an intense sufferer for many years from dyspepsia. liver aad kidney troubles, when a little pam phlet was placed in my hands, and. although at that time I had been bed ridden for more than six months. I determined, after reading some of the wonderful testimonials therein of cases similar to mine, which had been com pletely cured by the timely use of Vo gelera Curative Compound, to try some, especially as my doctors failed to .even benefit me. and I had almost given up all hope of ever being well again. It is most interesting, and. in fact, marvelous to relate, that the very first dose of fifteen drops relieved me. It was not long before I was able to get up and about; three months from taking the first dose I was enjoying better health than I had been for four teen years. I continued well until a few months back, when I was taken ill again, my troubles being dyspepsia and constipation. I had a doctor attending me for a month, but continued to grow worse, until I again found myself bed ridden, when I bethought myself of my old medicine. Vogeler's Curative Com pound, which I immediately sent for and took in place of the doctor's medi cine; at that time I had not had a movement of the bowels for five days. but Vogeler's Curative Compound soon put me on my fset again ia fact, com pletely cured me a second time. but. of course, this attack was not as bad as the first, yet I fully believe I should not have been alive today had it not been for Vogeler's Curative Compound. If I had only thought to have taken it when my last illness took place. I should not only have been saved much suffering, but a $75 doctor's bill." Mrs. Nettleton said: "I have recom mended Vogeler's Curative Compound for indigestion and eczema, and in ev ery case it has proved a cure beyond a doubt. Mr. Swinbank. our chemist. has sent me the names of no end of people who have been cured by Vogel er's Curative Compound. By the way, the proprietors have so much confi dence in this great London physician's discovery, that they will send a sam ple free to any person sending name and address and naming this paper."

Her statements as regards Vogeler's Cura tive Compound may. therefore, be re garded as reliable evidence of its great value.
