Startling But True.

People the world over were horrified
on learning of the burning Of Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred peo-
Pile lost their lives, yet more than live
times this number or over 5000 people
died from pneumonia in Chicago during
the same year, with scarcely passing
notice. Every one Of these cases OF
pneumonia resulted from cold and
could have been prevented by the timely
use of Chamberlain's Cough remedy. A
great many who had every reason to fear
pneumonia have warded it off by the
prompt use OF this remedy. The follow
ing is an instance of this sort: ITO much
cannot be said in favor OF Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and especially for colds
and influenza / know that it cured my
daughter, Laura, Of a severe cold, and l
believe saved her life when she was

he might find some means of getting

Thousands of people--men, women

the water dripping through improvised

CORONER ESTIMATES DEAD

Coroner Walsh estimated that the
total number of dead will not be less
than 1000. His reports are complete
and his estimate is made up from all
the data he has been able to collect.
Coroner Walsh said:
Bodies that the deputy coroners
have found and buried number 300, as
follows: At Polk and Bay streets, 80;
at Portsmouth square, %; at Washing
ton square, -; at the Six-Mile house.
200; at Laurel Hill, %: scattered in
different parts of the city, 10. No thor
ough search has been made of the dis
trict south of Market or the Chinese
quarter. Many lives have been lost in
these sections. South of Market street
are the cheap lodging houses and
many of these collapsed from the
earthquake. There is little chance
that half Of the inmates of the col
lapsed buildings had opportunity to
escape. This also is true of China
town.
Shortly after the earthquake sol.
diefs and police, so / have been told
buried bodies found along the water
front. / have received no official re.
port of these. The total number OF
dead will undoubtedly reach, if it does
not exceed, 1000"

The new San Francisco which will

most superhuman effort on the part OF
citizens of CALIFORNIA; metropolis in
the great task of sheltering, feeding

been re-established and attention turn

business district, where the devasta-

the intense heat were being inspected
with the view of reoccupancy and even
ground was being cleared for the i'm

building in which to resume business
at the earliest possible time. In short,
confidence has been restored.

At first overwhelmed with the woe
which came suddenly upon them, the
people of Frisco have been lifted from
the Slough of Despond by the coun-

and relief. and with renewed hope and
strength have begun to plan the better
and larger San Francisco.
100000 BEING CARED FOR.
Fully three hundred thousand peo-
pie are being cared for by the innum-

ing fed three times daily, and provided
with shelter, either with tents or tenn
porary wooden structures.
Relief Of every needed kind is now
pouring into the city from every quar-
ter of the globe Never has there been
such a response as is now being made.
Never before have the people of the
United States been so unanimous and
prompt in extending aid. 1t is useless
to go into detail, but the relief has
come from the farms, villages, towns,
cities, states and government in a vol
ume that is tremendous. The poor ant:

them, under the circumstances, than

that would lead us as medical men to
fear an outbreak The sanitation of

A pompous politician, who had
served a term in the state legislature,
and was by reason of that fact on ex.
tremely good terms with himself,
while endeavoring with a number of
ladies to make his way through a
dense crowd that surrounded one of
the shows, found himself unable to

RAIN DRENcHEs sHELTERtEes.
A drenching rain fell upon San Fran
cisco the night of the 22nd. From mid
night until 3 o'clock it poured and
drizzled at intervals while high wind
added a melancholy accompaniment,
whirling and signing about the ruined
buildings in the burned district. Five
days ago. when the catastrophe was in
its infancy. this downpour would have
been regarded as mercy and a God
send. Monday morning it could be
regarded In no other light than as an
additional calamity. 1t meant indie
scribable suffering to the tens OF thous-
ands Of people camped upon the naked
hills and in the parksland open places

part their only protection from the wet
was thin covering of sheeting tackled
upon tent poles. Through this the
water poured as through sieve, wet
ting the bedding and soaking the
ground upon which they lay. When it
is understood that thousands upon
thousands of delicately nurtured wom-
en- and infants in arms and old and
feeble people were in this plight, moth
ing need be added to describe the mis-
cry of their condition.
The downpour has aggravated the
already unsanitary condition of the
camps and will doubtless add great
numbers of pneumonia cases to those
already crowding the regular and the
temporary hospitals of the city.

It was feared by many the heavy
rain of Sunday night weakened the
walls left standing in the burned dis
trict and further increased the danger
of life and limb, but assurance was
given at the headquarters of the build

no such effect Under the direction of
this committee the menacing walls are
being dynamited, and the danger, in
stead of increasing, is lessening every

HAULING AWAY THE DEBRIS.

HAULING AWAY THE DEBRIS.
AS a welcome relief to the authori-
ties and citizens of San Francisco, who
have looked upon the ruins of the city
and the monstrous piles of brick and
stone and twisted iron that were once
the homes and places of business, it is
announced that the Southern Pacific
will aid in any way in the work of car
rying away the debris. The railroad
officials are ready to build track
through the heart of the devastated
city from Harrison street to the bay
and to run their first cars in for the
wreckage that must be removed before
new buildings can arise and normal
conditions be restored. The railroads
will carry the debris wherever the au-
thorities want it taken.
1t is said an application will be made
Immediately to the supervisors of San
Francisco for a franchise for this
track.
e. H. Hartman, president OF the
Southern Pacific, is here to inaugurate
the work and to see that it is faith
fully performed If the suggestion of
the railroad men meets with favor at
the hands of the city officials. At the
melting of bankers Mr.. Hartman stat
ed that he would do all in his power
and work with every resource at his
command for the rebuilding of San
Francisco and the preservation of the
citys good name.
