L* ^JSSfa\& indicate that it was one of
■ JyTw? worst disasters in the de
§\|Wa£ruct2or. of property and loss of
[^i^human life in the history of this
^ country.
Immediately following the first
' reports of the calamity every
wire giving direct connection
with the stricken city -was down,
and details of the ruin and loss
of life are not obtainable.
The latest bulletin received
here at noon, states that all the
district from the Eastman build
ing to Market street, including
the business section,- and north
to the bay is totally destroyed.
This district embraces many of
the finest and most costly build
ing in the city or on the Pacific
coast.
Fires have broken out all over
the city, and the earthquake
shock completely shut off the
water supply rendering the city
back from the shores of the bay
entirely at the mercy of the
flames. Power from the electric
plants is also cut off so that the
city will be without lights when
nigjjt falls.
, fhe city of San Francisco had
a population of 342,7S2 in 1900
and if the disaster was as sudden
and widespread as present re
ports indicate the loss of life
must be terrible. j
The same seismic shock did j
considerable damage at Los An-:
geles and Reno, Cal.
Many friends of Mr. C. E. May- i
nard and family who moved!
from this place about a year ago, I
and vrho were livingin San Fran- j
cisco are anxious for news from '
them, but communication up to
press hour was not to be had I
with that city.

a brilliant social event after a
lull of two months, and was
largely attended by society go

of visitors from outside cities.
The [famous capital theatre or
chestra. with Ed Kuttner as
director, furnished the music

spirit of the dance, which lasted

The guest list included about
forty couples of handsomely
dressed men and women, who
presented a beautiful scene in
the brilliantly lighted ball room.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all \ I
other diseases put together, and
until tne last few years was sup-j
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-:
nounced it a local disease andj
prescribed local remedies, and j
by constantly failing to cure i
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven j
catarrh to be a constitutional i
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s'
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken !
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case ,
it fails to cure. Send for circu
lars and testimonials.
