ONE HUNDRED DEAD
SANTA RosA's LIST.
Ruin Of Beautiful Town by Earthquake
And Fire is Almost Complete.
Business Section Wiped Out.

Business Section Wiped Out.
Santa Rosa, Cal.-The list of known
dead now totals f1fty-eight and it is
believed that 100 is very conserva-
tive estimate of the number of people
who lost their lives in the awful ca
tastrophe which visited this city on
Wednesday morning April 1S.
The entire business section is in
ruins and practically every residence
in town is more or less damaged, fif-
teen or twenty being badly wrecked.
The damage to residences, however,
was caused principally from the dam
age to the foundations, which let many
structures down into the ground. The
brick and stone business blocks, to-
gether with the public buildings, were
all thrown fat The court house, hall
of records, the Occidental and Santa
Rosa hotels, the Athenaeum theatre,
new Masonic temple, Odd Fellows
block, all housekeeping went, and
in all the city not one brick or stone
building is standing except the Cali
fornia Northwestern depot.
Bankers and millionaires are going
about with only the few dollars they
happened to have in their pockets
when the crash came, and are little
better off than the laborers who are
digging through the debris. Money
has practically no value here now, for
there is no place to spend it. and this
phase of the situation presents its own
remedy.
Almost every one here is sleeping
out of doors, being afraid to enter
their homes except for a short while
at a time until repairs have been
made. There are plenty of provisions.
Some have been supplied by other
towns and much has been brought in
from the surrounding country Two
entire blocks of buildings also escaped
being swept by the flames which inn
mediately broke out in a dozen places
at once as soon as the shock was over.
and from the tangled ruins of these
buildings complete stocks of groceries,
clothing, ETC., are being dug out and
added to the common store.

The phone in the once of a down

Shock Slight at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, GAIA combined re-
quest from the municipal officials and
all commercial bodies of the city was
made Saturday to send out positive
and unequivocal denial of the absurd
stories in circulation throughout the
east regarding the extent of the earth
quake tremor experienced in this city.
The shock was very slight and abso-
lutely no damage of any sort resulted.
Local officials are receiving inquiries
from all parts of the country in refer

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing baclxache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes

Housing the homeless.

San Francisco.-All the unoccupied
buildings in the district that escaped
the fire, comprising probably 1000 va.
cant fats and houses, have been
thrown open to the use of the home
less, and every school building and
church considered safe has also been
opened and will be used for the same
purpose. Hundreds Of houses in the
unburned district have been deserted
by their occupants, who either have
fed from the city or are camped In
the parks. These also will be used
for housing the homeless.
