AMUSED OVER ITS EARTHQUAKE
NOBODY HURT AND SAN FRAN
CISCO LAUGHS HEARTILY.
Especially Over Eastern Hotel
Guests, Who Rushed Out In Alb
breviated Attire.

San Francisco. March 31.-Now that
the excitement over last nights earth
quake has subsidized, it is learned that
very little damage wass done. The
shock, occurring so late at night. when
most people were asleep, seemed more
severe than it really was to the fright
ened inhabitants of this and other
cities. The only thing approaching a
casualty in San Francisco was the col
lapse of a frail tenement building on
Clementina street. This building stood
on the sand supported on thin wooden
uprights and it sank gently to the
ground.
The five families inhabiting it were
gotten out in safety. In other portions
of the city few bricks were thrown
from chimneys, windows cracked.
clocks stopped. pictures thrown down
and various other little happenings in
cident to earthquakes, were noted. The
earthquake seems to have been con-
fined to within radius of 100 miles of
San Francisco bay. Considerable dam
age is reported from Mare Island navy
yard. where the sawmill was leVelled to
the ground, and in the town of Val
lejo nearby. water mains were broken.
AT Martinez. a few miles from Mare
Island, the earthquake lasted 40 sec
onds. Chimneys were toppled over and
the brick library building and the court
house walls were cracked.
Another slight shock was felt at Mar
tinez at o'clock this morning.
In San Francisco, after the people
discovered that buildings were not top
ping about their heads, many amusing
sights were witnessed. At the down
town hotels, guests, especially those
from the east. rushed out into the halls
and courts and even so far as the street
without stopping TO dress. An alarm of
fire turned in a few minutes after the
shock added to the excitement. but the
blaze was only a small one caused by
soon eXtinguished.
The most serious phase of the earth
quake was the decentralization of the
few minutes. Circuits were broken and
for short time. San Francisco had no
Geographic connection with the outside
world.
The earthquake served to demon
strate that modern architecture is i'm
pervious to the effects of seismic dis
turbances.
The big buildings recently erected
in this city, although they swayed in
an alarming manner, did not suffer any
injury. Not a beam or a girder was
displaced nor a brick nor a stone
moved.
While the scare of last night was
genuine while it lasted. San Francisco
is today laughing over their expert
ences and affairs here have settled into
their normal conditions.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE
IDEA OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE
FOR DYSPEPSIA AND STo-
MACH TROUBLES.
Ridicule, However, Is Not Argument
and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
in many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a .radical.
permanent cure for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride themselves
on never being humbugged, especially
on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion, rather than risk a little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims of a preparation so reliable
and universally used as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines, for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients. but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments. pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids. Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastic and nuX. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act power
fully on any organ, but they cure indi-
gestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten. promptly,
thoroughly, before it has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief. This
is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles, because they act entirely upon the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. taken af-
ter meals digest the food. That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested, is poison, as it creates
gas, acidity. headaches, palpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite,
