LEFT FOR SAN FRANCISCO.
Prof. w. II. BleaIney, OF PendIeton
Academy, Scheduled to Deliver an
Address at San Francisco Seminary.

Prof. w. H. Bleakney, principal of
Pendleton academy, and Rev. r. j..
Diven left on the morning train to-
day for San Francisco, where Prof.
Bleakney is scheduled to deliver an
address, at San Francisco Seminary,
located at San Anselmo, next Thurs
day.
Prof. Bleakney is a member of the
board of directors of the seminary,
and has anticipated his trip to the
city with much pleasure, but since the
horrible calamity which has visited
1t, has been doubtful whether 1t would
be Of any use to go. However, he de-
cided that he will be there on time,
whether he delivers the address or not
and with this determination left this
morning.
The seminary is located at San An
selmo, a beautiful suburb and is one
of the best schools in the city. As the
suburb has evidently escaped damage
from both shock and fire, itis possi-
BILE that the program will be carried
out as intended. -

fOus to Many.

Washington, April 20.-The war
department continues to receive ap-
peals for relief from persons who live
In the immediate vicinity of the coast
forts. They complain that the peace
and quiet of their habitations are dis
turbed, and that the shock or Jar that
attends the firing Of the big guns con-
tributes to the discomfort Of the
neighbors of the coast defence works.
The war department always takes
these complaints under advisement
and submits them to the artillery Of
ficer locally interested.
In every case 1t has been shown
that the complaints have come from
people who have taken advantage Of
the bargains offered in real estate To-
Gated close upon coast forts. They

Last evening at 7:45 the first pri-
vate message from San Francisco ar
rived. It was to F. w. Lampkin from
his brother-in-law, ]. w. Ingle, and
was sent from Oakland and was dated
yesterday. Mr.. and Mrs. Ingle were
living close to the ruined district and
it is not yet known how they escaped.
S. C. Swift, travelling man in the
city, today has received a message
from his wife at Oakland. 1t stated
that two chimneys in their house had
been shaken down, but no one was in
jured.
But others having relatives in the
stricken city have not been so fortu-
nate and some are nearly distracted.
Mrs. j. Sheuerman, who has many rel
atives there, of which two brothers
were in the Occidental hotel. has been
anxiously awaiting news ever since
the first accounts reached Pendleton.
L. Strauss, the woolbuyer, whose
family was living in the city, left last
night for San Francisco, being un-
able to stand the strain any longer.
Henry Pierce, brother of w. NJ.
Pierce, and well known in this county
has offices in the Mutual Savings
Bank building which was located In
the midst of the ruined district No
word has yet been received from him.
A sister of Mrs. II. e. Collier and
the O'Gara brothers Of this city, was
employed in the Postal Telegraph
building and roomed in that vicinity.
Her relatives are greatly worried con-
cerning her.
Hundreds of other local people have
relatives and friends in San Francisco
and this fact has added a particular
horror to the catastrophe. Mrs.
James A. Fee has two brothers living
there, Mrs. R. T. Brown has brother
in the city, while Mrs. c. E. Troutman
has two brothers employed there.
In hopes Of securing tidings Of their
loved ones, scores of messages have
been filed at the local Western Union
office, but up to noon today but two
replies had been received.

AT o'clock last evening, the appoint
ed time, the members of the council
assembled, and with them Mayor Fee,

the mayors coming was to present
two messages which he had received
asking for relief for the San Fran
cisco sufferers. The kilograms were
read at the opening of the session,
and are as follows:

in which F. Kraft, Of Echo. and Mrs.

the plantation Of her parents. She
was the daughter of Sandy and Anna

OF her parents. Her life, prior to the
fatal attack that caused her much la
mented death, was that Of cheerful

cheerful those with whom she CHANGED
to meet. She had a great deal of push
and pluck and endeavOred to succeed
in whatever she undertook.
After leaving the public schools. the
remainder of her school days was spent

during which time she suffered untold
misery, and in spite of the earnest eff
forts of her attending physician, DIR.
Bays, to remove the cause, she at last
Succumbed to death.
She was conscious until death and
requested all to meet her in Heaven.
She will be greatly missed by all
of her friends and especially husband

ba Eastern Star and the Knights of
the Golden Link.
In spite Of the threatening weather
her funeral was largely attended.

Good For All Seasons.

Summer is here, and at last the
great Southern staple is beginning to
grow a little. Whether there should
be a very large crop raised or not,
prosperous times are promised, for a
short crop of cotton always commands
a very high price. This condition
warrants all in keeping their property

has stood all tests for FL years, is a
mighty good thing all the year around.
