Obituary.

Malvina Wingard, daughter Of
Elisha and Adelaide Calk, was born
July Is. 1882, and departed this
mortal life April 19, 1906, making
her short stay on earth % years, 9
months, 4 days.
She leaves to mourn her departure
a father and mother, one sister and
two brothers. One brother preceded
her to the spirit land about three
months ago. We trust our loss is
her eternal gain.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Kevs. W. D. Quick and J. G..
Graichen at the home. The sermon
was based on Col. 3rd chapter, lst
and 2ad verses. Deep sadness pre-
vaded the large congregation who
were present to pay their last tribute
of respect and love.
The interment took place in the
family cemetery near the home.
''She is not dead, the child of your af-
fection,
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our protec-
ton,
For Christ himself doth rule"
"Now g. fair maiden in her Fathers S
mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace,
And beautiful with all the souls eX
panSion,
Shall we behold her face"

stances. The relief committee has
supplied every sufferer with food,
blankets have been supplied and
many tents are in place.
An effort has been made by the
military and civil authorities to
secure some kind of an accurate list
of the dead in the neighborhood. So
far they have been greatly handi'
capped through their inability to get
reliable people to engage in the work.
Among the homeless in the square
are many little ones. Last night
there was shortage in the milk sup
ply, bat this condition was relieved
at an early hour this morning by the
arrival of many cans of the precious
fluid.
Early this morning there was great
excitement among the refugees over
the reported shooting of a looter in
the square. Certainly a shot was
fred, but by whom or at what point
neither military or civil authorities
doing police duty in the neighbor-
hood have been able to ascertain. It
is known, however, that no one was
shot by either soldiers or police at
Jefferson square during the night.
There was some relief of the
crowded condition of the camp in the
square before noon today when lit
tie army of refugees, carrying all
they had in the world upon their
backs, made their way through debris
and wrekage to the Ferry building.
Here those who were out of funds
were given transportation across the
bay. At Golden Gate park, where
there are camped probably the great
est number of refugees, conditions
today were improved.
The food situation is not serious.
There was plenty of food of the sim
plest sort, of course, provided for
every one in the bread line.
As yet there has been little sick
ness aside from nervous shocks and
physical exhaustion and from these
most of the people have recovered.

WORK Of RELIEF
PROGRESSES RAPIDLY
THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
Food and Sanitation First Considered
--Huddled Together in the Parks,
Men and Women of All Glasses
Make Best of the Situation.

San Francisco, April 2l,-Order
and system are gradually being
wrought out of the indescribable
confusion which he's prevailed in this
city for the last three days. The
hungry thousands are being plenti-
fully fed, wherever they are camped,
and the fortunate householders. who
were not driven from their homes
are procuring food at the various re-
lief stations established throughout
the unburned district.
Water in sufficient quantities to
meet all immediate and pressing
needs of the people can be had. San
itary measures are pushed with vigor
everywhere. Sewers are being re.
paired and the thousands of people
camped on open spaces and in the
parks are being organized into model
camps by the military authorities.
Temporary buildings were erected
in the parks to shelter women and
children, and all the churches, edu-
cational institutions, vacant houses
and those houses which have been
deserted by their occupants tonight
hold thousands of the homeless.
Food is being brought in plentiful
supply and distributed in an orderly
and systematic manner. All those
who desire to leave the city are being
provided with transportation to any
point in California free of charge. No
one is allowed to enter the city who
cannot show satisfactory excuse for
being here.
The sick and injured are being
cared for at the general hospital in
the Preside and at various other hos
pitfalls, as we'll as emergency hospi-
tails, established by the Red Cross
society at several widely separated
points.

troops, one under the State troops
and the other under the police.
There will be no relaxation of rigid
police measures, and the entire city
was patrolled tonight in thorough
and systematic manner: There has
been no disorder reported.
The board of health held q meeting
today and took measures for an i'm
