Almost one century before the out
break of the most terrible war the
world has ever known, Henry Clay
had the following to say concerning
war, in 4 speech before the house Of
representatives War is one OF
those dreadful scourges that so
shakes the foundation OF society,
oyerturns or changes the character
of governments, interrupts or de-
stroys the pursuits of private happi-
ness, brings, in short, misery and
wretchedness in SO many forms, and
at last is, in its issue, SO doubtful
and hazardous that nothing but dire
necessity can justify an appeal to
arms"

Earthquake Felt
On Western Coatst

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL. Oct. S.-A
well defined earthquake shock was
felt here at s:2G o'clock last night.
There were two distinct tremors,
both sharp enough to sway buildings
slightly and rattle doors and windows.
Al 9:35 another disturbance, much
milder, was experienced. Considerable
excitement, especially TO strangers in
the city, was caused by the quakes,
but alarm quickly subsidized.
So far us could be learned, no dam.
age was done. No reports from other
sections OF the state were received,
giving rise to the belief that the dis.
turbance was not as general as the
series OF earthquakes experienced last
Saturday throughout the Pacific coast
and as far east as Utah.
