' 'While ' the wlldea ! excitement prevailed , neighbors attracted b the crash and screams of women and cbll dren were doing their i best to liberate th unfortunate prisoners. jThe doors wcr ml finally burst open and the women , many o mlm. them scarcely able to walk , were conveye ic- across the way and cared for by friends. Al bate wcro luckily got out without Injury , exccp > to W. F. Howe , who was badly jammed b several timbers. Mrs. J. N. Davis , an ol woman of 75 years , and Mrs. Herman Kalsti the latter an invalid , had to be carried fro : their wrecked homes. re- Another house at Fifth and Tehama etreet la- was thrown down and the great crane e Garret's foundry was sent crashing to th for ground.

In the Merchants' Exchange a quantity of plaster was shaken down , but no great damage - ago was done. The nineteen-story Glaus Spreckels build. Ingmis not Injured In the least , though it swayed "ko a great trco in a storm. At least 100 stores south of Market street suf \ fered severely , chiefly by the breaking of frail articles. At the store ot II. VanOostel- beck , on Market street , several hundred dollars lars worth of interior decorations were In- JuroJ. The store of E. Happpensbcrger , cu the northwest corner of Mlsilon and Sixth streets , was damaged severely. The rear room was a mass ot broken bottles , the mixed contents of which almost flooded-tho store.

At the University of California , in Berkeley , the seismograph a the students' obser\atory In Berkeley shout that the shock lasted between thirty am forty seconds. The general direction of tin vibrations wus from cast to west. The In strument shows that the shock was ver } heavy In a small area. A slight vcrtlca vibration was also recorded by the lastru ment. Now that the excitement over last night i earthquake has f.-ubslded , It is learned tha very little damage waa done In thla city The shock occurring late at night when nios peo-plo were asleep seemed more severe th-c It really was to the frightened Irliabltants. The earthquake seems to hive been confined to within a radius of 100 miles of San Fran cisco bay. The greatest damage reported is that at Mare Island navy > ard. Another flight chock was felt at Mare Island at 5 o'clock. San Franciscans were today laughing over their experiences , and affairs here have set tled Into their normal conditions. VALLEJO , Cal. , March 31. Work in the navy yard has been ohut down and the 1,700 employee are Idle on the streets of Vallejo.

The electric plant which lights the buildings and grounds was badly shaken and flooded ! so that there will be no light for two or three days. Building 09 , used by the general store keeper.

You May Have a Sample Bottle of the Great Discovery Snt | < j Free By Mail. As wo are by nature subject to many diseases , the orly way to guard against all stampedes on our health Is to make a study of our own physical self. If a peculiar pain attacks you , try to locate Its origin and discover which organ of the body Is sick and In need of attention. If the kidneys we at fault and in almost every case in the fulling of our health they ere look well to their restoration to health and strength. They are the great filters W * > ) ur body , and consequently the purity of the blood Is en tirely dependent on their cleansing powers. If the kidneys are not in a perfectly clean and healthy condition the blood becomes Im pregnated with Impurities and a decay of the kidneys soon takes place. If your desire to relieve yourself of water Increases and you find It necessary to arise many times during ulccplng hours , your kidneys are elck. As ttiey reach a more unhealthy stage a scald ing and Irritation takes place as the water flous , and pain or dull ache in the back makes you miserable. If the water , when allowed to remain undisturbed for twenty-four hours , forms a settling or sediment , you are In the grasp ot most serious kidney or bladder dis order. If neglected now the disease advances until the face looks pale or sallow , puffy or dark circles under the eyes , the feet swell , and sometimes the heart acts badly.
