on fashionable Mob hill. Mrs. Oelrlchs,
who is daughter of the late Senator
Fair, has shown fine taste in the ar
chitectura! plans of Fairmont, the ap-
propriate name of the new hotel. Seen
from the bay this structure, with its
classic outlines, makes the beholder
think of Greek temple. White and
graceful, it looms above the busy mar
ket places, the great wholesale district,
the crowded business section and pic
turesque Chinatown, which. by the
way, is fast disappearing owing to the
sncroachments of commerce and the
dwindling Of the Chinese population.

bed. Men and women rushed wildly
forth in their night robes and fed in
panic through the streets. Many were
caught by the falling roofs and walls.
and in the poorer districts the tene-
ments collapsed like eggshells, crush
ing and suffocating their inmates be-
fore they had time to escape. In many
cases fire finished the work Of death,
catching the victims as they were
pinned still alive under the debris.
TO arrest the spread Of the fire along
Market street many buildings We're
dynamited.
The track of one railroad was de-
pressed four feet or more for dis
lance Of three miles, At one point in
the city the earth cracked open for a
distance of six feet, leaving yawning
chasm of fathomless depth.
The destruction of all telegraph wires,
except one belonging to the Postal
union, made it almost impossible for
the stricken city to communicate with
the outside world. The severe injury
to the Western Union and Postal Of
fees, also the Associated Press, greatly
added to the difficulty.
The practical destruction Of six or
eight blocks, coupled with the immense
loss of life and damage to property
throughout San Francisco and the en-
tire coast region, makes this the worst
earthquake disaster in American his
tory, exceeding even the historic
Charleston earthquake Of few years
ago
San Francisco has suffered from
many slight seismic shocks. one Of
them occurring about a year ago. At
that time long article appeared in
one of the papers, signed by pro-
lessor in one of the observatories near
by, stating that there was no partic-
ular danger from these tremors of the
earth's surface. The coast region. ac
cording to this writer, was newer than
parts of the country farther east and
was therefore settling. He said peo-
pie should feel no alarm. as nothing
serious was liable to happen.
Evidently the earth's crust in the
Golden Gate region has been doing
/ some more settling"
The most severe earthquake San
Francisco has known prior to the pres
ent one was in 1868. Quite little
damage resulted, though nothing re-
motely comparable to this 1t was the
1868 shakeup that was made famous
by Mark Twain. The most surprising
thing the genial Mark saw at that time
was the opening up Of the ceiling Of
his room, the lips Of the orifice work
ing to and fro like mouth and brick
slipping through and held in suspen-
sion, like one lone tooth on the jaw of
an old man.
The last earthquake that occurred in
San Francisco was in January, 1900.
Several distinct shocks were felt early
In the morning, causing the vibration
Of buildings all over the city. The
chief building affected was the st.
Nicholas hotel, which was severely
shaken. The walls collapsed in GER
tain parts of the structure. guests were
thrown out of their beds and furniture
was destroyed
In 1904 there was a severe seismic
disturbance in Los Angeles, which was
felt throughout the city and for q
radius Of several miles around.

Accidental Shooting.

A sad accident occurred about IL
miles northwest Of here last Mon
day about noon in which Mat
Huff, a young man Of about "a
years of age, was shot and serious
ly if not fatally wounded by a 38
caliber revolver in the hands Of
his brother Nicholas. The story
as told to us is that Nicholas Huff
had been outsida.4of the house
shooting gophers with 38 calibre
revolver and supposed that he had
entirely emptied the chamber Of
the gun and stepped back into the
house. As he entered the door he
raised his hand and brought the
weapon down toward the floor and
in so doing discharged it. His
brother was sitting at the dinner
table and said. "My! you scared
me-" neither of the boys knew for
a few moments but what the bullet
had went into the floor, But only
a few moments until the horrible
truth was discovered. DR.. Nc
Reynolds was summoned and
reached the scene of the tragedy
as soon as horse flesh could get
him there. DR.. Nicholson of Den
hof was also summoned and after
an examination and a search for the
bullet had been made the doctors
deemed it advisable to remove him
to town where he could have better
attention. He was accordingly
brought to Goodrich and placed in
a room at DR. McReynold's house
Monday evening.
The wound was again probed
but the bullet could not be found
The bullet entered his body among
the short ribs on the right side
passing forward and around the
intestines. His condition is very
serious and we understand the
chances for his recovery are decid-
edly against him. Goodrich Citi-
zen.

Home Remedies.

To cure a ringworm, apply a
strong solution of borax and water
three or four times a day and Gov
er the place with the fine powder
very often.
If a pan of sliced raw onions is
placed ina room in which. there is
diphtheria, they will absorb the
poison and prevent the disease
from spreading. The onions
should be removed every day.
Turpentine is one of the best
remedies for Group. A piece Of
flannel should be saturated with it
and placed on the child's throat
and chest.
The following time table should
be preserved by every mother. as
it is often source of the greatest
anxiety to know whether or not a
child will develop a disease after
having been exposed to it. Chick
enpox symptoms usually appear on
the fourteenth day; diptheria,
second day; measles, fourteenth
day; mumps, nineteenth day; scar
let fever, fourth day; smallpox,
twelfth day; typhoid fever, twenty
first day; whooping cough, four
teenth day.

The Garrison Times.

Mrs. Sievert Bale died last Mon
day night at her home ten miles
northwest OF Garrison shortly
after giving birth to child. It
was supposed that she was getting
along nicely when she suddenly
expired. Funeral services we're
held at the home yesterday. and
interment took place in a nearby
cemetery.
Mrs. Bale was loving wife and
mother and will be much missed
in the community. She leaves
a husband and two children.
M. Bale has the heartfelt SYM
pathy Of the entire community in
this sad bereavment
Some time during last Sunday
night robbers entered the store Of
the Peterson Machine Go. in Gar
rison for the purpose of blowing
the safe. They succeeded in
knocking the handle off the door
and evidently expected to finish
the job with powder as can Of
powder was found Monday morn
ing where they had left it near the
safe. It is hard to figure out just
why they did not finish the job
but must have become frightened.
They smashed the money
drawer and secured thiry-one
cents all in coppers, which is the
total amount they received for
their nights work.

was batting The bat Slipped
from young Warddrip's hand and
struck Charlie squarely in the
mouth, knocking him down and
rendering him unconscious for
several hours. Drs. Nicholson and
! Brown were called and dressed the
wound, taking seven stitches in
the upper lip. The doctors report
that two teeth were knocked out
and that the flesh was all torn
loose from the bones of the upper
part of the face. At present
Charlie is doing nicely. The acci-
dent is deplored by everybody, and
no persons are SO sorry as Mr.. and
Mrs. Warddrip and family that it
occurred.

Last Monday, Harry 'Renfrow,
accompanied by his father and DR..
Miller, left for the hospital at
Rochester, Minnesota, where he
will undergo second operation as
a result of appendicitis. Some
three or four weeks ago, he was
operated upon at his fathers place
but not until too late to avoid COM
plications setting in. Ulcers
formed, thus a trip to the hospital
was necessary, for there, he could
be better cared for.
