Fall of Old Building and
a Landslide in Noun
tains Disturbing Shasta
HEARS ROAR
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

REDDING, July 1.-THE collapse of
the Oldest brick building in the old
town of Shasta and the experience of
a driver named McCaully at a point
on the Iron Mountain road have firmly
convinced the residents of Shasta that
they were visited by an earthquake.
With noise that was plainly heard
all over the town, the old brick build
ing known as the Charley Macdonald
place and occupied for half a century
as a saloon, collapsed about l o'clock
this afternoon. People rushed to the
place and found tons of debris, brick
and plaster, in the street.
Six miles away, on the Iron Noun
tain road, at identically the same time
McCaully heard a terrific rumbling
noise and says the earth seemed to
give way. He declares huge masses of
rocks and boulders slid down the side
of a nearby mountain. He believes
nothing but an earthquake could have
loosened the earth, and the people are
confident that the cause of both dis
turbances was a good healthy shakeup.

Worry Postal Authorities.

Because the postal administration
has imposed duty Of five pfennigs
instead of two on postal cards intend
ed for urban delivery, the citizens OF
Hanover have inaugurated singular
strike against the postal authorities.
Instead OF writing postal cards, they
all write letters, and, not satisfied
with sending their illusions in an en-
velope, they fill it with newspaper so
as to bring the weight of the letter to
the maximum of $50 grams. AS the
envelopes they now use are OF the
maximum size tolerated it is easy to
obstruct a letter box with only a dog
en- Of such missives. The postal au'
thorities are alarmed at this obstruc'
ton of the postal service, and 1t Is
probable that the former tarih OF two
pfennigs on postal cards will have to
be reestablished.

the jurymen should accept his inter

unless they were fully satisfied that
they knew more law than he did.
In spite of this. an outrageous YER
dict was brought in, utterly contrary
to the instructions Of the judge, who
severely rebuked the jurors.
The foreman, horny-handed farm

weren't we to jedge the law as well
as the facts?"
Certainly" was the response, but
I told you not to Judge the law unless
you were satisfied that you knew the

by what Is put into the stomach in
the way OF improper food, the kind
that so taxes the strength Of the d.
gestive organs they are actually Grip
pied.
When this state is reached, to resort
to stimulants is like whipping tired
horse with a big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lash
increases his loss of power to move
the load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy, greasy, indigestible food and
take on Grape-Nuts-hght, easily d.
