Rass Kendall, formerly a farm
er of the Greencreek section and
later a resident of Lowe, where
he run a blacksmith shop, com
mitted suicide Tuesday evening
at his home by shooting himself
in the head with a revolver
while resisting arrest. Kendall
had been guilty of the crime of
rape upon the person of his
wife's sister, a young girl, and
Deputy Sheriff Blackburn was
sent out from GranaeviIle to ar
rest him. Deputy Blackburn
found Kendall at work in the
field a short distance from his
house and on going to him found
he held a revolver in his hand.
Blackburn then read the warrent
to Kendall and placed him under
arrest and started toward the
house with him. Before reach
ing the house Mrs. Kendall ap-
peared and tried to throw stones
at the officer but was restrained
by man named Cross. Kendall
then tried to shoot Cross but
Blackburn held him to prevent it
and was then fired at himself but
lodged in time to escape being
hit. Before being able to draw
his own weapon and prevent fur
ther harm Kendall jerked loose
from the officer and fired a shot
into his own head, dyiug two
hours later. Kendall was the fa-
ther of four children by his first
Shortly after his first

May Build to Waha.

0. W. Click was in the city
late last week from Ilo conferr-
ing with M. F. Fuchs regarding
the building of an extension of
the Nezperce Cooperative Tele-
phone line from this place to
Waha. Mr.. Fuchs informs us
that Westlake and Forest both
want the extension and will put
up handsomely to get and as the
company already has line from
Lewiston to Waha it would be an
easy matter to connect from
Forest to Waha after the line
was built to the former place and
thus provide two through linesto
Lewiston owned by the one com
pany. This would give an ex-
cellent service and one would be
very unliabIe to find both lines
out of commission at the same
time. Just what steps will be
taken by the board of directors
at its next meeting regarding the
building of the extension remains
to be seen but it is quite proba-
bic the line will be built IF the
company can see its way clear to
do so.

life and even then it will be very
incomplete as many persons were
caught in the falling buildings
and later burned up by the fierce
fire. It is almost impossible that
the damage can be any less than
mentioned in the reports sent out
so far and it is quite probable
will be found much greater when
all is learned.

the Misses Binnard were stop

VIM. He'll, a young German
living on Rice creek, was shot
and perhaps fatally wounded
Wednesday morning by Grover
C. Davis, a boy 20 years of age.
He'll was a cattle man and Davis
father a sheep man and there
had been trouble between them
over a fence. When the shooting
occurred young Davis was carry
ing some posts to build a fence
when He'll came up and com
him to carry them back.
Davis refused and He'll said he
would shoot him if he did not but
as he reached for his gun young
Davis shot him. The boy then
rode to Grangeville and gave
himself up. His plea will likely
be self defense.

San Francisco Is
Almost Wiped Out
Terrible Earthquake and Fierce
Fires Destroy Almost Entire
City and Kill Thousands Of PeO-
pie - Entire State Felt Shock.

By far the worst earthquake
of modern years and perhaps the
worst in the history of the civiliz-
ed world. visited the state of Cali
fornia in and near San Francisco
at 5:15 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing, shaking down the monster
buildings of that city and adjoin~
ing towns, killing thousands of
people and doing damage to the
extent of many hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. Close in the
wake of the terrible earthquake
fires broke out in several places
in the city and swept unchecked
over the principal business part
of the city destroying everything
that the earthquake had failed
to ruin. The water system was
made useless by the upheaval of
the earth and although hundreds
of fine buildings were blown up
with dynamite in an effort to
check the flames the work was all
in vain and nearly twelve square
miles of the heart of San Fran
cisco now lies in ashes.
We have not space to enumer-
ate all the damage done but will
mention some. In San Francisco
alone it is said over a thousand
lives were lost in the earthquake
and fire and property to the val
ue Of about 5000, GOO, COO was des-|
troyed. Practically all of the
finest buildings of the city are
ruined. The noted Cliff House
slid into the ocean during the in
ternal disturbance and not
stone is left to mark its standing
place. Across the bay Oakland
suffered severely from the earth
quake and the Berkeley and Le-
land Stanford universities are
heaps of ruins. San Jose, so
miles south of San Francisco,
suffered severely and Santa Cruz
and Santa Rosa were practically |
wiped off the map, with many
people killed. At Salinas, 118
miles south of San Francisco,
over So, 500, 900 worth of proper
ty was destroyed and several
lives lost. All of the towns in
the vicinity of San Francisco suf-
fered more of less from the dis
turbance and the shock of the
earthquake was felta far north
as Sacramento and as far south
as Los Angeles, where it is said
the buildings rocked fearfully.
After the shock at San Francisco
all the wires went down but one
and it was almost impossible to
get out any news over it al
though the associated press did
heroic work in sending out what
dispatches it could. Asyet there
are thousands of people in the
stricken city from all over the
country whose friends and rela-
tives are trying to get news of
but so far in vain. At San Fran
cisco the homeless are gathered
together in the parks where they
are being cared for as best they
can and the city is under martial
law and being parolled by U. S.
troops to prevent crime
1t will be a number of days yet
before an estimate can be made
of the property loss and loss of

Strange Facts.

It seems strange that sometimes your stomach or bowels won't digest your food, no matter what you eat,
 It may be the weather. or it may be just the state of your general health, but in any case, there is only one certain safe and positive method of cure, and that is the proper use of that universal remedy for all forms of dyspeptie trouble or digestive weakness, whether in stom- ach, liver, kidneys or bowels-Stuart' $ Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Strange it is, that in such little tablets. to be taken few times day may lie such wondrous potential possibilities, that by their use the course of mans whole lfe-yes, of the world-may be changed.
 Yet, who would not appreciate the fact that if Napoleon had not been suffering from cancer of the stomach he would have won instead of lost-at Waterloo?
 And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets would have cured his stomach trouble had they been invented as they have cured thou sands of others in the past ten years, who have suffered just as Napoleon did.
 So you can readily appreciate that to- day. by curing all these people. Stuart $ Dyspepsia Tablets is helping to get the worlds work done, by people who would do worse work if they were sick, so they must be having a great influence, in a quiet way on the worlds progress.
 They may therefore. be classed as one of the triumphs of science. amongst other discoveries, in medicine, mechanics. trans portation, etc.
 Let this then. remain in your memory, a fact upon which to act when occasion requires
 When any organ in your vast digestive machinery gets out of order, you have a your command one of the great inven- tions of the age, in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, to put your machinery in order again.
 By so doing you will save much use less friction add to the energy and work. ing possibilities of your bodily machine and relieve yourself from suffering. dis. ease, weakness, premature old age and death.
 All this is strictly in accordance with the most modern teachings of the bes, scientific schools of health, hygiene and medicine, and it will be to your advantage to lay these facts to heart.
 Don't hesitate. Try Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets today.

 Effects of Poison.

New York, March 22.-Prof. R. ogden Doremus, the noted chemist, died at his home here today aged s2 years. It was an expert on the effects of poison, perhaps, that Professor Doremus was best known.

 Professor Doremus has been connected with the New York college and the col lege of the city of New York as instruc- tor in chemistry for nearly sixty years, and for more than forty-five years he had occupied the chair of chemistry in the Bellevue hospital medical college, of which he was one of the founders.

 Weakness

The action of the heart de- bends upon the heart nerves and muscles. When from any cause they become weak or ex- hausted, and fail to furnish sufficient power, the heart flut- ters, palpitates, skips beats; and in it's effort to keep up its . work, causes pain and distress, such as smothering spells, short breath, fainting, pain around heart, arm and shoul- ders. The circulation is inn peded, and the entire system suffers from lack of nourish- ment.
 Dr. Miles Heart Cure makes a heart strong and vigorous by strengthening these nerves and muscles.
 ..I had palpitation and pain around my heart, and the doctors said it was incurable. 1 don't believe 1t now. for after taking six bottles of pr. Miles Heart Cure, three bottles of the Nervine and three boxes of the Nerve and Liver Pills I am entirely cured. and feel better than l have for five years. and 1t Is all due to these remedies. I want you to know that your medicines cured me. It relieved me from the first dose, and I kept right on till the pain in my chest was gone. and l kept on feeling better even after I quit taking it.
