Henry Hill has discovered a new
cure for rheumatism, from which he
has been sufferer for some weeks
past. He spent some time at the
springs, and took all kinds of dope
but seemed to be getting worse all
the time. A few days ago he hap
pened to read in a newspaper that
onions would cure rheumatism. He
had no faith in the item, but was
fond of onions anyway so he ordered
a sack and. commenced on them and
in exactly four days his rheumatism
had entirely disappeared, and he was
feeling like a two-year old. OF
course he does not positively assert
that the onions cured him, but he
was getting worse all the time until
he commenced eating them at every
meal. He is therefore strongly of
the opinion that the onions did the
business for him, and he recommends
them to others similarly afflicted.
For sale by all dealers. Sample
onion free.

John Trevethen and Shelby w. Jor-
dan were caught in an ore chute in
the Old Dominion mine at Globe one
day last week. They were attempt
ing to loosen the ore which had be-
come clogged, when it suddenly gave
way and fell upon them. The acct
dent occurred on the tenth level,
where the chute was only two feet
square. In order to recover the
bodies it was necessary to draw the
ore off through the eleventh level,
which required about two hours
time. When taken from the schultz
the bodies were in close embrace,
and badly lacerated and broken by
the weight of the ore above them.

FL Paso, April Is, 8 p. I

The most fearful havoc was
in the district east of Market street
Six or eight blocks of the manufact,
uring and wholesale districts in this
section were almost totally destroyed
Hundreds of people were killed in the
business and tenement districts,
estimated as high as 1000. Many
hundreds, possibly thousands, injured
The, property loss will reach over
fifty millions.
Whole business sections from
Market to Mission and from Howard
streets and back from the bay as far
west as the City Hall, were almost
completely wrecked. A great many
buildings collapsed, the greatest
damage being done on the following
streets: Market, Mission, Drum,
Davis, Front, Battery, Sansome,
Montgomery, -Kearney, Spear, Main,
Beal and Fremont. The splendid
seven million dollar city hall, one OF
the finest buildings in the world, and
noted for its fine dome and collonade,
collapsed.
Palace and Grand hotels were des-
troyed by fire.
The principal residence district
was less badly damaged by earth
quake, though a good many houses
were thrown down or so badly cracked
as to render them uninhabitable, and
many people were injured by falling
chimneys and cornices and some have
died from exposure and fright.
The tenement districts were COM
pletely devasted and the loss of life
in this section is tremendous.
The banking, retail and hotel dis
tricts were not damaged by the
earthquake so badly as the whole
sale districts, though some buildings
were badly cracked.
The modern buildings of steel
frame construction suffered less than
older brick and frame structures.
The latest bulletins state that the
Phelan building is burning and the
whole south side of Market street,
between Fourth and Fifth, is on fire,
and flames spreading in all directions.
The city is under martial law and
soldiers have orders to shoot on sight
anybody caught pilfering.
The whole population is frantically
trying to save something and a reign

stay the flames.
