GREATEST DISASTER OF MODERN TIMES On another page of this paper will be found a very succinct account of the great horror and devastation wrought in San Francisco last week by earthquake and fire, in whicli three-fourtlis of that big city of 375,000 people was destroyed, 'with property loss ranging from $200,000,000 to $500,000,000, and thousands of deaths chronicled. It lias been the greatest horror and devastation in the centuries past and gone and words fail to adequately describe the great ruin wrought in that city alone, while numbers of other cities and towns on the coast line have been also partially destroyed, with accom panying deaths ranging into the thousands in the aggregate. For tunateiy for the people of this im mediate vicinity, who had friends and relatives in San Francisco and other coast line cities, they have to bear no sorrow on their account, as letters and telegrams have been received assuring of their safety. Dr. J. H. Long of this city received a telegram Tuesday of this week that his daugh ter, w ho was in San Francisco-at the time of the earthquake and fire, had escaped without injury and was safe in Oakland. Geo. H. Gibson lias re ceived assurance of the safety of his son Charley, who had been in the city Just previous to the earthquake, but had reported back to his ship before the disaster. The editor of The Northwestern received a letter, written from Berkeley, just across the bay from San Francisco, and ten miles north of Oakland, the evening following the earthquake, that his sister-in-law, Mrs. Helen Dodds, and two sons. George and Edward, had escaped death in that town, though numbers of buildings were wrecked and many lives lost. The people all over the world, and every city, town community in our own beloved coun try, have responded nobly to the calls issued for help to the stricken cities on the coast and millions of dollars and train loads of provisions and 5 raiment are being hurried across the country daily for the releif of the stricken people. Let us trust such another horror may never be recorded in the centuries to come. Death ot Grandma Draper. Died—At the home of her son, Delmer S, Draper, in this city, Fri day, April 20, 1900, Mrs. Mary A. Draper, aged 75 years, 7 months and 2o days. The funerai took place from the M. E. church the following Sun day afternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Wise, assisted by Rev. MeEwen of the Pres byterian church, conducting the ser vices, whicli were largely attended, after wiiico the body was laid to rest by the side of her husband in Eyer g'reen cemetery. Mary A. Thrailkill was born in Ohio on Sept. 1, 1830. When but one year old her parents moved to Indiana, where she grew to womanhood. She was married to Wm- T. Draper at La Grange, lnd., April 28th, 1850- To this union were born four sons and two daughters, all of whom survive her, save one danghter who died in infancy, as follows: Edward A., Delmer 8., Wm, T. and Jay B., all residing in Loup City, and Mrs. Ida Saunders of Montezuma, Iowa, and ail of whom were present at the time of her death, except the daughter, as also was present J. A. Thrailkill, a nephew of deceased, who had made his home with her all through his boyhood. Deceased came to Sherman county with her husband and family in 1883, locating seven miles west of Loup City, and from that time forward lias been a resident of this town and pqunty. Only a little over a year ago after 55 years of happy married life, the family was broken bv the death of hqshand and father, and since that time she has made her home with her children. Mis. Draper became a member of the Methodist church in early life and was a consistent Chris tian through life. Ashtoo News. Mrs. P, Lorenz is on the sick list. Andrew Garstka is busy assessing.

Polski last week sold about 3 acres of creek land for $500, which is pretty good for Ashton soil. Last Tuesday morning C. Dymek’s team took a leave of absence and had a spin around town. No particular damage was done. One of John Sac’s children had the misfortune to fall from a barn near Schaupps last week, receiving a severe bruise on the ankle. Dr. Wanek attended the little sufferer. A. Anderstrom, Rennet and Garret Lorenz, H. W. Ojendyk attended a professional ball game between Rock ville and Boelus, reporting a fine trip but were disappointed with the game as it was a rather one-sided affair, Boelus winning by a score of 16 to 4. Our townsman, C. W. Baker ran a 200-yard foot-race with Frank Hedglin for a purse of $40, and winning by a good margin. Not being contented with beating this professional, Chas. took after three jack rabbits on the way home and caught every one of them. Come on with your racers, as Chas. will run anything from a cotton tail to an antelope. Burlington Bulletin Of Round Trip Rates.
