of the terrible calamity that has befallen San Francisco if you can imagine yourself standing on some mighty eminence looking down upon city covering 47 square miles of territory, with property assessed at nearly five hundred millions of dollars and containing three hundred and fifty thousand people. You are looking down upon a beautiful and prosperous city like this peaceful ly resting in the gray dawn of 8 beautiful spring morning. Sud- denly the vision changes. You feel 8 mighty tremor of the earth g surface. You see thousands of panic stricken people in the beau tiful city below rush into the streets in their night apparel. Then there is a terrible upheavel. You see the mighty, ten and twenty story stone and brick buildings, whose architectural grandeur you were looking upon, lifted from their foundations, shaken to pieces and thrown up- on the terror stricken people, burying them alive in the streets. Then you see small flame rising in different parts of the city soon developing into a terrible conf1a- grafton that sweeps acre after acre of buildings and leaves them 8 charred mass of ruins. On and on the flames travel in every direction devouring everything in their path until the great me. tropolis, you looked upon so ad- miringly . few hours before is a smoking ash bank. The people who were quietly resting in their homes in order to be ready for the activities of the day are now homeless and are seen by the thousands with blankets strapped on their backs looking for places to sleep in the open air, in the parks, on the hills or else where.
 The one word in the English language that will come nearest describing the disaster is the word awful. It was awful indeed; in fact, so great a calamity that nothing in modern times will compare with it.
 But from this great mass oi ruins greater San Francisco will rise. The people have al. ready commenced to plan the re. buildingoftheir city. tisestimated that one year and half will be the time consumed in rearing the new and splendid San Francisco that is to rise like another Phoenix from the ashes and ruins of the metropolis of the west. The, building and construction firms of New York and Cincinnati are blaming steel structures for the new city that will be both earthquake and fireproof. The city will go up as Baltimore; Chicago, Charleston and Calves ton did and there will be no lack of capital. California spirit and enterprise, which are words al. ways associated with the state, will rise superior to this calamity.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 24. The worst in San Francisco is now over, and sanity is succeed ing terror. The citizens are be- ginning to return to the stricken city although tourists and refugees are boarding trains from the city to their homes. All are passing through Los Angeles and they tell of horrors that no pen can de- scribe. The combined forces of police, militia and students from Berkeley University are partroll- ing the city, while the Federal troops are being rushed to the scene from all the Western forts. These troops will strongly re-en- force the martial control of the city, stop the footing and protect property from depredations.
 Vandals have worked profitably and consistently since the first shook, and SO great have'their dep. relations been that the militia has shown no mercy in patrol, but has shot down every person found ravaging the ruins, and in some instances it is said innocent people have been killed.
 The loss of life in San Fran cisco is still estimated to be not less than 2,500, while the property loss is estimated at S4O0, ,0O0, ,000. Three fourths of the city has been devastated by the fire.
 Down town the wholesale and retail districts are complete ruins. Very few buildings in these dis trict are standing, althrough the merchants are announcing that business will be resumed Mon- day, their plan being to open in tents or some other temporary structures.
 The residence section is also ruined. The fire swept through the sections where the wealthy people resided, the dynamite and fire sweeping everything before them.
 Temporary business houses have been opened in Oakland, across the bay.
 Every available quarter in Oakland has been engaged by San Francisco merchants. As fast as the ruins can be cleared away temporary structures will replace the destroyed business houses. Since the Federal and state troops and student bodies have been impressed to protect property some semblance of order has come out of the chaos.
 All who have means of trans. portation have left San Francisco for Oakland and Los Angeles Tourists who were in the city al the time of the disaster are flee ing to their Eastern homes Twenty-five thousand messages are now on file in the telegraph offices conveying the news of the escape of those caught in the shocks and the fires, and these messages are being sent out in the order of filing. The Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies are making announce. ments that messages will be all cleaned up by tomorrow morn. ing, and that inquiries will be responded to as fast as message operators can work their keys.
 s It is expected that complete re-
 turns will be had in the next 24
 hours. The horrors of expected
 starvation and suffering iron
 thirst are being relieved speedily

An Old Address on Woman Suf-
fraee.

The announcement of the passing
away Of Susan B. Anthony has cast
gloom over the whole civilized w5rld
for the world has come to recognize
her as one OF its grandest women In
spite of the bitter opposition to the
principles for which she has devo ed
her life, she has won the admiration
of even her enemies, the world over.
She has simply thought and lived so
years in advance of the times until
the world has grown to where she was
30 years ago.
The following words from e'of her
addresses over 90 years ago show how
difficult il was for her, with her pro-
gres3ive ideas, TO understand the con
servatism of others. Miss Anthony
said
Is il not strange that men cannot
comprehend that what 20 them would
be degradation, slavery, is not to
women elevation. liberty Men prize
the right of suffrage for themselves
above all price and count the denial
of il the most severe punishment. If
young man is serving out five or
seven years penalty in state prison and
has a living friend outside who cares
for him, that friend will get up e.

to commote the young mans sentence,

doomed to walk among his fellows

Eat What
You Like
Don't Starve or Diet, but Use Mi-o-ns,
and Cure Your Stomach Troubles


The average treatment of stomach
troubles consists Of a rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient.
OF course it would be foolish for any
one who knows that some foods are
positively harmful and poisonous to
continue eating them, even while
following the Milo Da treatment, but
in ordinary roubles it is not necessary
to stave or diet If Mi o-na is faith
fully used, tablet before each meal.
This scientific remedy, for the cure
of stomach troubles, acts upon the
whole digestive system, ana strength
ens the organs so that thev are able
to digest any food that is eaten with
out fear of distress. 1t YOU suffer
from lcss of appetite belching of
gases sour taste in the mouth. furred
tnngue, severe pains IN the region of
the stomach. depression of spirits, bad
dreams, lack of energy, stomach
cough, offensive breath, headaches,
backaches, loss of streugth and
weight, you can b. assured that these
troubles are all due to imperfect di-
gestion.
Strengthen the stomach ny taking q
Mi-o.na II blet before each meal, and
soon you will gain in weigh, strength
wi II return, and your food will give
nourishment 30 that the len red blood
will carry good health o every part

Roteimun has so much confidence
in the Tower OF Mi c-na to cure

that he gives guaiart with every
