The following graphic atory Is told by a woman who arrived from Messina this morning, badly injured: " 'Infernal Is the only word that will adequately describe the fearful and terri fying, scene,"; sbe said. "When the -flrsH shock came, most . ot tha city was fast asleep. I was awakened by the rocking of the house, Windows swayed -en rattled and crockery and glass crashed to the floor. The next moment I was violently thrown out of my bed to tha floor. I was halt stunned, but knew that the only thing to do waa to make my wajr outdoors. The streets were filled. - Everybody bad rushed out In their night clothes, heedless of the rain falling In torrenta.

Tha alarming conditions which have called out state troops and United States marshals at the mining town of Stearns, Whitley county, Kentucky, Is creating some discussion at the War department over the probability ot a condition arising to call for United States troops to uphold the power of the United Btstoe courts.

It Is assumed that the local authorities will bs able to suppress disorder and that by ths I'.b- era! use of United States marshals In conjunction with stste troops the orders of the court Will be executsd. Should be round impossible to ao mis, either from the Inability ot the court- to secure the servlo of enough marshals, or for any other reason so that the power or the court would become nullified, there Is ample authority for tha sending of troops tr.to Kentucky.

Into law. Soma of the democrats who ran for office on that platform have taken the hunch that they are up against a hard proposition. For instance, the Slate Board of Assessment this year divided the physical value from the franchise value, and the latter, In many oases, is worth much more than the physical value. Bo If the railroads are to be assessed and taxed on their physical value, then their taxes will -be reduced, and to pay the ex penses of the state taxes on other prop erty will have to be increased. And ths democrats have promised to reduce the taxes on farm lands and Increase rail road taxes. Some of the members are talking bravely about forcing Mr. Bryan and Mr. bhallenberger to keep hands off of ths legislature, and to keep the presidential candidate oilt they are going to ask him to make good on the things he talked about during the campaign. It is the opinion of some of the democratlo lead ers that to ask Mr. Bryan to get down Into details about Ms plans of legislation will cause him some embarrassment. Governor-elect Bhallenberger has sent out several letters to members of the leg islature telling them they must be eco nomical In the matter of expenditures. This haa caused several to get their backs Up, and one member said If the new governor would watch the executive de partment, through which most of ths money Is spent, that will be enough for him to do. Ks Recount for Price. W. B. Price will not ask the legislature to recount the votes cast In the last elec tion, , On . the, contrary .he will .continue looking After tils taw business, as he has done since the election. "I do not want the office of auditor and will not contest the election," said Mr. Price. "I was forced into the race for the nomination and of course I made a fight for election. I had two. reasons for run ning, when I found I couldn't get out of It. First, I wanted to see If a poor man could run for office In Nebraska. Second, I wanted to see If a person could secure a nomination and be his party's candidate without making a promise to anyone. I proved that could be done." Mr. Price said he had an Idea where the report started that he Intended to contest the election and he believed it camo from a defeated candidate who was anxious for someone else to start the trouble.
