Mad People in Panic.
"People by the thousands and SEEM
ingly devoid of reason were crowded
around the ferry station. At the iron

upon each other.
"Fighting my way to the gate like
the others, the thought came into my
mind of what rats in a trap were. Had
/ not been a strong man I should GER
tainly have been killed.
"When the ferry drew up to the slip
and the gates were thrown open the
u was tremendous. The people
flowed thru the passageway like a noun
tain torrent that, with rocks in it's path,
themselves as best they could.

in, the manufacturing and business dis
tricts: According to information re-
3ce1ved here, practically every building
owned by the estate in these districts
has been destroyed. ;ltHh 81
Already theresH much Speculation as
to the position insurance companies will
take with regard to losses. Fire insur-
ance policies do not provide for dam
age by earthquake but an attempt, It is
said by representatives Of tCalifornians,
and stocks, where, after the earthquake,
fire destroyed what remained. Senator
Newlands' two daughters by his first
wife are the heirs to the Sharon estate.
1t is estimated that the loss to this
estate alone will be in the neighbor.

and DR.. Nichols residences on Main
street by A. P. Underwood, manager
of the Peerless factory, is in many
respects a model of convenience.
The reception hall is entered from
the broad piazza which extends across
the front side and the north end of
| the house. This hall is attractive to
the eye, being finished in oak, and
the staircase leading to the second
story is finished in very artistic
manner. The living room or parlor
opens from this hall and also opens
into the kitchen. This room is fin
ished in ash and the floors downstairs
are all finished in birch. The dining
room opens from the hall, kitchen
and pantry. The pantry is very con-
veniently arranged with cabinet cup
boards. There are four rooms and a
bathroom upstairs, the floors here
. being finished in hard pine, and these
rooms are exceedingly pleasant and
: well lighted. The view from every
room in the house Is fine and
> especially from those rooms on the
> north and Main street sides of the
house. The house is raised up from
3 the street by two terraces, thus doing
, away with the noise and dust of the

else, don't think he is making more profit;
we charge him more; it costs US more. II is

No ether paint is all paint, true paint, and
