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."

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.

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.

took: place yesterday with Imposing
ceremonies at the Aaditoriuaz aad iv
the presence of 5,900 people. The par
ade. which took place front the state
house, through the principal streets of
the city mad to the Auditorium, was.
escorted by five companies of the state
militia and consisted of the full mem
bership of the legislature, state offi
cials, ex-gorernors. United States Sen
ators Allison and Dolliver in car
riages. At the Auditorium exercises were
opened by Lieutenant Governor Milli
man. Bishop Morrison of the' Episco
pal church delivered the invocation
and was immediately followed by the
administering of the oath of oflce tc
Governor Cummins by Chief ' Justice
Scott M. 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.

The bill for the recoinage of the sil

Representative Hill of Connecticut,
was favorably acted upon by the house
committee on weights, coinage and
measures. Some opposition was met

that the silver dollars should not lose
their idenity as such by being recoined
into subsidary coinage. The vote on
the bill was S to 3. the democratic
members voting in the negative.
The bill as reported provides that
all of the silver coins of Hawaii shall
be received at par in payment of
government dues to Hawaii or to the
United States. After being received
the coins shall be sent to San Fran
cisco, to be recoined into subsidiary
silver. The expense of shipment from
Hawaii is borne by the United States,
and thi3 Is the only expense involved.
There is about $97S.000 of silver cir

ANOTHER KMAMCAlLr: CASE
A Medical maa as a rule dislikes to
acknowledge the vale of A proprietary
mediciae ta fact, prof main I eti
quette debars him from doiag so. 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."

the Brighton Road, where she has been
established many years, and is hon

statements as regards Vogeler's Cura

value. The public, however, may look
