THE FIRST ADvICEs.
LONDON, April ia most serious
earthquake has occurred at San Fran
cisco, U. S. A.
It is reported that thousand deaths
have been caused thereby.
Half the city is reported to be in
ruins.
ACE EARTHQUAKE TUESDAY
NIGHT.
LONDON, April 19.-Furtaer partic-
ulars have been received of the disas-
trous earthquake which occurred at San
Francisco, California, U. S. "A, on the
night of Tuesday last, by which half
the city is in ruins.
The shocks were most severe, and
destroyed nearly all the buildings in
the city.
To add to the disaster, fires started
in all parts of the city, and in the gem
eraI confusion and alarm it was utterly
impossible to cope with the confagra-
tion.
The entire business portion of the
city was destroyed by the devastating
fire.
The fire then spread to the residential
section Of the city and hundreds of
houses were consumed by the fire.
Thousands of people have been rem
dered homeless, having lost everything
they possessed in the fire.
Most of the residents Were asleep
when the earthquake and subsequent
fire occurred, and rushed from their
beds into the streets in their night at
tire, and everything else they had was
lost.
The terror and excitement which pre-
vailed in the streets in all parts of the
city is indescribable. Terror relgned
supreme as the residents saw the city
in ruins and the flames eating their
vFay from one end to the other, and also
knew of the death of thousands of TIE
inhabitants, not knowing if any would
come alive out of the ordeal.
TWO SHIPS SUNK.
LONDON, April 19.-Two large ships
which were anchored in San Francisco
Raw were sunk in the high seas caused
by the shock.

LONDON, April 10. American

THOUSANDS KILLED.
LONDON, April 19.-The Federal
authorities at Chicago have been ad-
vised that the killed in San Francisco
number thousands.
Another account says that the num-
ber killed is $500.
SHIPS NOT THERE.
LONDON, April 19.-A report has
been circulated throughout the States,
but it is treated as apparently baseless,
that the American Pacific Squadron
was sunk whilst anchored in San Fran
cisco Bay during the earthquake.
1T is known in Honolulu, of course,
that there is absolutely no foundation
for this story, the ships of the Pacific
Squadron not having been in San Fran
cisco Bay when the disaster occurred.

most likely at San Diego, on their way

THE COUNCIL

The council met Monday evening as usual, all members being present. The reports of the various committees showed that the work planned is progressing. The excavation for the water reservoir is we'll under way; and the council will soon be ready to ask for bids for transporting lumber. The repairs to the Natatorium have been started. Cleanup notices have been posted around the city, and the annual renovation of unsavory places is on.
 A committee from the fire depart nent waited on the Council and stated that, at a union meeting of the com panies of that organization, it had been decided on to hold grand ireman's picnic at Crystal Falls Park on or about the 24th day of June. The con- mittee further stated that the picnic was to be held at the park so Shat 8 greater number of the people of Douglas and Treadweu could attend. The fremen expect to repair the road and improve the park by their own efforts, but asked that the council build pavilion at the park. After careful consideration the council agreed to grant the request.
 The bill of J. P. Jorgensen & Go. for s17.50 was approved and warrant was drawn for the amount.

DANGEROUS TO NEGLECT A COLD

How often do we hear it remarked: "It's only cold," and few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneumonia. This is of such common occurrence that cold, however slight, should not be disregarded. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any tendency of cold to result in pneu- monia, and has gained its great popu- larity and extensive sale by it's prompt cures of this most common ailment. It always cures and is pleasant to take. For sale by J. Heubner.

If you had all the wealth of Rocke- feller, the Standard Oil magnate, you could not bay a better medicine for bowel complaints than Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrh@a Remedy. The most eminent physician can not prescribe better preparation for collie and diarrh@a, both for children and adults. The uniform success of this remedy has shown it to be superior to all others. 1t never fails, and when reduced with water and sweetened, is pleasant to take. Every family should be supplied with it.

FIREMEN's MIDSUMMER PICNIC

union meeting of the Douglas Fire Department was held last night at House No. 1. Committees were ap- pointed to complete arrangements for the Grand Picnic at Crystal Falls Park on June 24th. The picnic is to be given by, and under the direction of the Fire men, but the invitation is to be general to the people of the three towns on Cas- tineaux Channel.
 It is to be a regular oldfashioned basket picnic, with swings for the children, a dancing pavilion for the young folks, and quiet, shady nook for the old folks.
 Crystal Falls Park is situated within easy walking distance of Douglas, on the banks of Lawson Creek. It is a natural park; one of natures hooks, protected by friendly hills from Cold breezes, and frightened by sparkling, flashing, mountain stream.
 The fremen propose to cut trails, build roads and move stumps, to fur ther improve the park. The Douglas Council has decided to erect dancing pavilion on the grounds. The work thus commenced will go far toward converting lonely, deserted spot into a place for merrymaking.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES

4 committee consisting of the presid- ing officer of each of the fraterual orders of the city, has been appointed to arrange a program for Memorial Day; Mir. H. H. Sterling of the Masonic Lodge, Mir. John Mccormick of the Knights of Pythias, Mir. J. G. Zimmer- man of the Eagles, Dr. W.L. Harrison of the Odd Fellows, and Mrs. A. l.. Anderson of the Rebekahs.
 A part of this committee met last night and partially outlined the pro- gram, and will meet again on Friday evening to complete it. As far as ar ranged the plan is as follows:
 All of the people of Douglas Island are invited to assemble at Natatorium Hall on Wednesday, May 3Oth, at ? o'clock, p. m. Here will be presented a short program to consist of music by the band, songs by the children, a prayer, readings, a short address, &c-
 Immediately after the exercises the procession, led by the band, will form and march to the cemetery.
 It is the desire of the committee that some kind of floral offering be placed on every grave in the cemetery. To accomplish this end it is necessary to have the help of the ladies and child ren. Nature is spreading all over the Island a carpet of green leaves, dotted here and there with bright blossoms and dainty blooms. All will be accept able for this occasion, and many will ing hearts and hands will be needed to gather them and prepare them into bouquets and wreathes.
 The ladies and girls are requested to meet at Natatorium Hall on the even ing before, to prepare the decorations, as much as possible, and the children are requested to help by bringing punches of blossoms and green leaves.
 Memorial Day has become more than a day to do honor to the soldier dead. It is a day sacred to the American people in the memory of those who lie sleeping their last sleep in the silent grave. They whose hearts have bled in sorrow are comforted by the assurance that their loved ones are not forgotten, and grief is lessened by loves labor, performed in the simple act of laying on the grave those bright spring flowers that carry a promise of ofresurrection.

A Few First Aid Hints.

The following first aid advice was
given by DR.. N. B. Gambrill at re-
cent meeting of railway surgeons:
Don't put your finger on an open
wound; don't put quid of tobacco
on wound, no matter how small it
may be-; don't use cobwebs or hornets
nest to stop bleeding; don't dose the
patient with whisky, brandy, rum or
gin; don't bind or cover a wound with
handkerchief or rag-if you cannot
get first aid packet use clean old
muslin that has been dipped in boiling
water for few minutes; don't sit a
patient up when he is very pale or
weak; don't wash wound, and don't
remove blood clots.'
These hints are meant for public in
struction for those of the laity who
may have occasion to extend first aid
in case of accidents.

canoe. There is the Milk Grotto, in
which JOSEPH and Mary are said to
have concealed themselves before
their fight into Egypt to escape the
evil designs of Heroi. The snowy
Wilderness of the soft chalk out of
which it is hewn IS ascribed to the
splitting of few drops Of the Virgins
milk when she nursed the infant
Jesus. Another gfotto is pointed out
as that in which ST. Jerome, for more
than thirty years, led the life of a
hermit, when bitter fractional dissen-
sions had forced him to leave Rome
