PACIFIC SLOPE IS SHAKEN
California and Oregon Experience
Severe Earth Shocks-Financial
Damage Not Great.

San Francisco-The earthquake
shock felt in northern California and
southern oregon Thursday is reported
from a number of places to be more
severe than any felt in several years
previously. The vibrations continued
from 10 to Is seconds, according to OBJ
servers in different towns.
Windows were shattered, chimneys
Frustrated, dishes broken and small
pieces of furniture moved, but so far
as known the financial damage was
nominal.
Humboldt county seems to have
been the center of the seismic dis
turbance, but telegraph and telephone
communication is Interrupted and
only meager reports have been re
ceived. 1t does not appear, however,
that the shock was of great violence.
Among the cities and towns where
the quake was felt are Redding, Red
Bluff, Chico, McCloud, Weaverville,
Dunsmuir and Crescent City, in Cali
fornia, and Grants Pass and Marsh
field, Oregon. 1t was not felt in San
Francisco, nor was it recorded at the
local weather bureau.

RENEW GAMBLERS WARFARE
Two Bombs Explode in Chicago's
Downtown District Causing Semi
Panic Among Hotels, Etc.

Chicago.-BOmb "33" and "34, !"
marking the renewal of the Chicago
gamblers internal warfare, were ex-
ploded Sunday night within 80 min
utes of each other. The first bomb
was exploded in the rear OF the EN-
pire building at 260 State street,
which houses the Empire Whist club,
operated by the Smith-Perry- Colby
gambling syndicate. The second
bomb was exploded in the rear of the
building at ITO Madison street in
which Ed. Wagner and Fatty Woods
shelter their interests.
The two heavy explosions coming
almost simultaneously, shook the
great buildings in the loop district to
their foundations and created panic
all over the downtown district which
has not been equaled in recent years.
From hotels, theaters and buildings
people poured into the street, the
crowd continually growing denser,
reaching the point where the loss of
lives was imminent.
The da~-age to the State street
building was slight, only windows be-
ing broken, the wrecking of the in
terror amounting to little. Estimates
of the damage we're placed at $1,000.
The damage to the building on Mad
ison street was placed at $4,000.

REVOLT IN THE GREAT NAVY
REBELS SEIZE ARSENAL AND
DEFY THE GOVERNMENT.
Outbreak Brings the Military Trouble
to a Crisis and Threatens
King George.

Athens.-The whole military crisis
in Greece was brought to head by
the actual revolt of the Tibaldos fac
ton in the Greek navy.
The situation is acute and whether
or not the next event will be the long
expected abdication of King George
seems to hinge on the happenings of
the immediate future. The govern.
ment is meeting the situation with
unexpected firmness.
Tibaldos seized the government ar
senal at Salamis Friday and is now
entrenched there with a force of about
800 naval officers, the men, who with
drew from the city on Wednesday,
leaving a 24-hour ultimatum for the
governments consideration.
The struggle over the arsenal was
perfunctory, the guard putting UP
but feeble defense. 1t is recognized
everywhere, however, as an overt act
against the throne, and it was imme
diately met at the palace by proc
lamation of Tibaldos as traitor an6
an order for his arrest.
Troops have been thrown around
the ministry of marine, and business
is practically suspended in the cap
ital.
The question of the hour is ''Whaf
will the fleet do?" The warships are
anchored off Keratsini, on the farther
side of the island of Salamis, and the
premier is waiting anxiously to SEE
whether it's officers and men will de
clare for Tibaldos or against him.

FIVE DEAD IN INDIAN FEUD
Braves Demand for Girl Slave Starts
War in Which Family Is Ex-
Terminated.

San Francisco.-The story of re-
markable feud between Indians and
half-breeds in the mountains of
Humboldt county was revealed in the
arrest of James Donnelly, a half
breed Klamath Indian, for murder.
The feud started ten years ago,
after the accidental drowning of the
little son of Jimmie James, an In
dian. The boy had been playing with
two Indian girls, see-sawing on a limb
of tree overhanging a creek, but
slipped into the water. The father
of the boy demanded that one of the
girls should be given to him as a
slave to recompense him for the
death of the boy, but the demand was
refused and the feud started.
A few days afterward Jimmie James
was found dead near Mad river, shot
through the back. Then the James
faction killed crippled Indian.

LURTON LEADS FOR JUSTICE

Washington.-The vacancy on the
bench of the supreme court of the
United States, caused by the
death of Associate Judge Rufus w.

The Fest Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than II
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. 8

Dislike of the cigarette has often
been manifested by fathers, mothers
and guardians, and sometimes figures
in the disposition of legacies. Thus
a young man named Acker, of Allan
tic Highlands, N. j., has been left $25,
900 by his grandfather on condition
that for the next "a years Acker shall
refrain from indulging in cigarettes
or participating in dissipation. To get
the regular allowance under the will
Acker must at stated periods make af.
fidavit that he has complied strictly
with the terms. That ought to be a
pretty fair test of a young mans
preference. The sum of $4,000 should
be an acceptable Offset to deprivation
of cigarette smoking.

z KILLED IN MINE
TERRIFIC BLAST IN COAL SHAFT
FATAL TO DOZEN MINERS.
THREE GAIN SURFACE SAFELY
There Were Fifteen Men in Main Tun-
mel at Time of Explosion-Those
Who Lost Their Lives Were Suf-
located by Gases.

Johnstown, Pa.-Twelve men, all
rifle explosion in the coal mine of the
Cambria Steel Company near here.
They were making their way out of
the shaft after completing their days
work. At the time of the explosion
there were Is men in the main tun-
mel and but three are alive to tell the
story of the disaster.
Almost before the echoes of the sub
terranean blast had subsidized rescuing
parties rushed to the mouth of the
shaft, but could not render assistance,
as the tunnel was filled with poison
Gus gas, which belched upward in
thick, dust-laden clouds, while falling
slate and rock Numbered down into
the depths.
While the reScuerS were eagerly
waiting for an opportunity to begin
clearing out the shaft to reach the
men imprisoned three heads appeared
above the surface. Three exhausted,
wounded and well-nigh unconscious
miners had succeeded in climbing up
the long fire ladders to safety above
although they were almost suffocated
by the fumes, and gashed, torn and
terribly bruised by the storm of slate
and small stones, that poured into the
mine after the explosion.
AS soon as practicable, a large force
of men, working in shifts, set to work
to clear out the shaft. They worked
for hours with demoniacal energy in
the hope that the miners imprisoned
below might still be alive. After the
last barrier of rocks had been pene
trated, however, they found the Il
men lying huddled in DEATH which
had been caused by suffocation, as
none of the group had been seriously
injured by the explosion itself.
Their escape had been cut off by
tons of fallen rocks, which had closed
UP the air passages and tunnel and
their death must have been matter
of only a few minutes.
The explosion, which is supposed tc
have been caused by dynamite, was
felt for miles around, and many win
dows were smashed in the village
near the shaft None of the bodies
have been identified.

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-

ence Of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: II drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
l had terrible attacks of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
it hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then I tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that / soon learned to love
it and have used it for several years.
I improved Immediately after l left
off coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured Of my indiges-
ton and other troubles all of which
were due to coffee. I am now well
and contented and all because
changed from coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for it is
so even and always reliable. We
