Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
iuries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without maturation and
in about one-third the time required
for the old treatment This is the
greatest discovery and triumph of
modern surgery. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle 1t
is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness and prevents any danger
of blood poisoning. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men,
ton the Inconvenience and suffering
such injuries entail For sale by all
leading druggists.

Nixon's Committee Work.

When George Nixon was elected
Senator he made a speech at the ban
uuet and told the members of the
Legislature and the people assembled
that while he did not claim to be an
orator or a statesman that he was
business man and proposed to do
some work in Committee which would
be alright for the State of Nevada"
Well the first work he has done in
Committee was to assist in the assas-
sination of the Philippines Bill The
killing Of that bill in committee was
done at the behest of the trusts and
corporations.
A few more specimens of this sort
of Committee work ought to rouse the
people of Nevada to one long shout

PROGRESS OF THE FLAMES
Found the Entire Section on Fire in
an Hour or So.

Anthony made his way down Mar
ket street as far as The Call build
ing, from which flames were issuing
at every window with the blaze shoot
ing out through the roof. A similar
condition prevailed in The Examiner
building across the street. He then
started for the railway station at Third
and Townsend streets, determined to
leave the city. He found procession
of several thousand other persons
headed in the same direction. All south
of Market street about that time was
a cracking mass of flames.
He made his way to Eighth and
Market, thence down Eighth to Town
send and to Third street, and the en-
tire section which he traversed was
afire. making it impossible for him to
reach his destination. He attempted
to take the back track, but found that
his retreat had been cut off by the
flames. He then went to Twelfth street
and reached Market again by the city
hall. San F'rancisco'S magnificent mu-
nicipa1 buildings had caved like an egg
she'll The steel dome was still stand
ing, but the rest of the structure was a
mass of charred ruins.
1t was not yet noon, but the city's
hospitals were already filled with dead
and injured, and all available store
rooms were being pressed into service
Dead bodies were being carried from
the streets in garbage wagons. In ev-
cry direction hysterical women were
seen. Men walked through the streets
weeping, and others with blanched
faces. Transfer men were being Of
fered fabulous sums to remove house
hold goods, even for a block. Horses
had been turned loose and were run
ming at large to prevent their being
incinerated in the burning buildings.
Women had loaded their personal be-
longings on carts and were pulling
them through the city, the property
being huddled in the public squares.

formation from San Francisco. His
story is graphic and complete. Anthony
says that he was sleeping in his room
st the Ramona hotel on Ellis street,
near Macon, and was suddenly awak-
ened at 5:23 Wednesday morning. The
first shock, that brought him out Of
bed, be says, was appalling in its ter
rible force.
The whole earth seemed to heave
and fall. The building where he was
housed, which is six stories high. was
lifted from it's foundation and the roof
cayed in. Twenty or more guests. men
and women, Immediately made their
way to the street. which was soon
filled with people, and a perfect panic
ensued. Debris showered into the
street from the building ON every side.
AS a result Anthony says he saw a
score or more people killed. Women
became hysterical and prayed in the
streets, while men sat on the curbing
appearing to be dazed.
1t was twenty minutes before those
in the vicinity seemed able to realize
the enormity Of the catastrophe The
crowds became larger and in the pub
lie squares of the city and in empty
lots thousands of people gathered. 1t
was 9 a. m. before the police were in
control of the situation When they
finally resumed charge the officers di-
rected their energy toward warning
the people in the streets away from
danger. Buildings were on the brink
of tOppling over.
