NEW YORK, April 1S.-A telegram
from Sacramento to the Western Union
Telegraph Company reports that three
miles of railroad sank out of sight as a
result of the earthquake between Suisun
and Benelea, and all wires were taken
with it.
At Pleasanton there were several cars
burning on the main line, blocking the

mills on the dollar and also authorizing
that the governor be authorized to bor-
row 100000 at 6 per cent. during the
year 1907, if necessary to the opera

and said that the tax ought to be raised
half a mill instead. His amendment to
that effect was defeated. The bill was

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit n thousand OF
| fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any n OF
them, and if there was ever n ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than selected wheat and
barley with a little salt and yeast used
in the making Of Grape-Nuts, We will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
| department and every process. Our fac
tories are so clean that n could, with
| good relish, eat a meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid In
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into flour. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and a lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diaStaSe in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into q form OF
sugar.
Now after we have passed 1t into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about Is inches long and 5 or 6
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great lOaveS are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second

Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior

Cooking school teachers-this
includes teachers" who have ap-
piled to us for a weekly pay if they
would say something nice" about
Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when
we have declined to hire them to
do this they get waspy and show
their true colors.
This also includes "demonstra-

the answers being written by the

appeared the statement: "No, we
cannot recommend the use OF
Grape-Nuts for 1t is nothing but

Right then he showed his badge as
a member of the tribe of Ananias.
He may have been a member for
some time before, and so he has
caused these lecturers" to de-
scend into the ways of the tribe
wherever they go.

York put the iron on" to this

pluck and bravery.

This burst Of true American girl indig-
nation was caused by the teacher saying
that Grape-rJuts, the popular pre-digest-
ed food, was made of stale bread shipped
In and sweetened.
The teacher colored up and changed
the subject.
There is quite an assortment Of travel
ing and 'stay-at-home members of the
tribe Of Ananias who tell their false
hoods for a variety of reasons.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1s.-Sau
Francisco was practically wrecked by an
earthquake at $40 o'clock this morning.
The shock lasted three minutes. and
thousands of buildings were damaged
and destroyed.
The loss of life is reported great.
There is no water and fires are break

All wires with the exception of one
are gone.
The City Hall, costing seven millions,
is in ruins.
Modern buildings suffered less than
trick and frame.
The terror and excitement is indescrib-
able. Most people were asleep, and rushed
into the streets undressed. The build
nigs swaycd and crashed, burying the
occupants. There was a panic in the
downtown hotels. The Lick House is
badly damaged, but no loss of life is
reported there.
The San Francisco Hotel stood the
shock. The people flocked to the tele-
graph offices to send messages to friends
and were frantic because there were no
wires. The greatest damage to build
ings was south of Market street, where
mostly frame and tenement houses were
located. There were fires n that dis
trict.

Flames Unchecked Spread Terror.

A disastrous fire has broken out on
the south side of Market street, and is
now within one block of the Palace Ho-
tel. The water mains have burst, and
the fire department is practically help
less. The utmost confusion exists. All
business is suspended. At this moment
there is only one wire out of San Fran
cleo, a Postal wire. The Postal building
is badly damaged. The operating room
is a total wreck. The power of every
kind is gone and there are no lights,
either gas or electric.
Neither the Palace Hotel nor the st.
Francisco is gone, so far as the outside is
concerned, but the inside plastering, etc,
are greatly damaged. Between the Pos
tai office and the water front there has
been great damage by fire, which is burn
ing fiercely, and there is no light or
water.
Buildings Dynamited.
The fire is burning both on the east
and south sides of the Postal telegraph
building.
The damage by the earthquake appa-
rently extends all over the city.
The shock occurred at SIS this morn
ing and lasted three minutes. The streets
are blockaded with debris.
Buildings are being dynamited to
check the flames. The residence dis
triets are safe as far as heard from.

ASKED FOR TRANSMITS

Minneapolis business interests are
about to turn their attention to rail-
road discrimination from which Mime
apolis is suffering. They will ask for
the ten-day stopover on all thru single
trip or tourist tickets, privilege of
which the travelling public is now de-
prived, altho the concession is regularly
granted to several other gateway points
Of the country. The feeling in Mime
apolis is voiced in the expression Of
opinion by leading citizen, as follows:
IT see no reason why Minneapolis is
not entitled to Today stopover on
all tickets thru, from either eastern or
western point. The privilege is granted
to Detroit, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Mon
treal, Washington, Boston and Philadel-
phia. Tickets deposited with the joint
agencies in those cities are subject to
the regular stopover, privilege which
is boon to the travelling public, and
which gives those cities decided ad-
vantage. s..-,~ -

the situation, and to the business pos.

privilege of only a short stopover.

tourists must hustle thru, just as if

Every known element of the cosmo-
politan republicanism Of Hennepin
county was represented last night at
the harmony -no-instructions-g et-to-
gethero meeting in Morgan Post hail.
After some diversity of expression and
preliminary skirmishing, the meeting
finally adopted the resolution it had
been called to adopt, namely that the
Hennepin delegation 60 to Duluth unin-
structed on the governorship. An at
tempt by L. A. Lydiard to extend this
to an uninstructed delegation all the
failed of reception and died for want
of a second.
Between 200 and 800 wheelhorses, Of
fee holders, and high privates were
present in response to the call issued in
the interests of an uninstructed delega-
ton. Most of the speakers favored
this side Of the question under discus
sion, but Albert H. Hall refused to
stand for it, declaring that such
movement was poor politics. and abso-
nounced that he favored standing out
above board and fighting for something.
He then announced that he had lust
returned from trip thru the state and
from his observation the choice for gov
ernor now lies between Block and Ja-
cobson.
Senator George P. Wilson was on his
feet at once, strongly favoring an unin-
structed delegation as Hennepin had no
candidate in the field w. H. Grimshaw
was called and drove few spikes in
favor Of the uninstructed and delibera.
tive delegation, at the same time taking
occasion to put in a few good words for
his friends, the United States senators
from Minnesota. The rumor to the ef-
feet that there is federal machine in
Minnesota was vigorously denied and
attributed to "a few pinhead editors. .
He concluded with message from Sen
ator Nelson saying: "Te11 the bows I
am in favor Of the nominee of the Du-
luth convention. In his enthusiasm
Mr.. Grimshaw wandered from the ques-
ton somewhat, but was recalled by the
chair. 5
William Henry Eustis favored the un-
happy remarks and informally CON
irmed his congressional candidacy BY
saying II expect to be with you often
and to talk to you further during the
coming campaign" w. D. Washburn,
Jr.,. W. 7. Nolan, W. T. Coe, P. w. Nc
Allister. DR.. Reed and others, partici-
pated. The selection of delegates to
the state convention by the wards rath-
er than the chairman Of the convention
was also generally favored.
Some interesting flibustering fol-
lowed the introduction by General VIII
son Of the resolution Of the evening for
an uninstructed county delegation to
the state convention. Harmony finally
reigned, for when the ayes on the prop
ositlon appeared to have a majority on
the, rising vote, the opposition swung
into line and refused to vote against
the motion. The symposium was pre-
sided over by Thomas Salmon, Writ
Wilson acting as secretary.

/. Work Is Too Hard. Gz 1s2S
Inc reason TOT the decision to have
no more operas, which seems to be prac-
tically unanimous among Roosevelt club
members, is not easily assigned, but the
feeling that the immense amount Of
work is not justified by the results has
been growing until it has found ex4
preston in the present decision. No
one outside of the club workers has
any appreciation Of the herculean task
which the preparation Of club opera
represents. The novelty of performance
has worn off and altho this years re-
ception was fattering to the perform
ers and the management, it was not
commensurate with the effort required.
There is some talk Of giving a min
strel show next year that will require
only small proportion Of the work
and money, but it is too early to come
to any decision in the matter. -.~
