IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW Hard to do housework with an aching back— Hours of misery, at leisure or at work—no rest day or night— Ache, ache, all the time. If women only knew the cause what = lot of happiness it would bring to San Francisco homes. Backache pains come from sick kidneys. They're a cry for help that the little filters send out when they can’t do the work nature gives them to do. ’ . - Doan’s Kidney Pills Cure backache and lame back—Kidney and urinary trouble of every sort. No doubt about it—Not the slightest. SAN FRANCISCO WOMEN say so. Women who have suffered—who are now well and strong. Here is proof of it: Mrs. Jennie Huntington, 146 Eleventh st., says: “Kidney complaint and rheumatism have clung to me for years. During the attacks I can only de- scribe my suffering as excruciating. For three weeks before my son went to the Owl Drug Co., 1128 Market st., for Doan’s Kidney Pills my back ached so that I could scarcely stand it; ir fact, it was sore to_ the touch. To> straighten was impossible and to stoop was just as bad. I knew from the ex sive action of the kidney secretions both night and day that my kid- were at fault, but what to do to check the trouble was a mystery. If every one in San Francisco receives as undoubted benefit from _the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills as I backache and kidney complaint will cease.” Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale at all drug stores, 50c a box.

FLAMES WREGK i ‘BLOGK OF BRIGK Destroy Large Furniturs| Warehouse in Los | Angeles. i | Heywocd Erothers & Wake—fi fisld Company Lioses Stock and Building. | | | | | LOS ANGELES, June 17.—One of the fiercest blazes the local fire department | has had to deal with in a long time ogcur- | red between 7 and 8 o’clock to-night. The four-story brick building at the southeast corner of Seventh and Main streets, used as a furniture warehouse and occupied by the Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Com- pany, was entirely destroyed, together with its contents. The loss on the stock is given at about $125,000, and on the builg- ing at $35,000. Both were fully insured. ; The Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Company is a wholesaler of furniture, with factorles in San Francisco, Chicago | and Gardner and Wakefield, Mass. As- sistant Manager Skellenger said that fif- teen carloads of furniture had just been placed in the building as part of the stock. | The blaze started in the varnishing or | finishing room on the fourth floor and | spread with unusual quickness to the other floors, which were packed with the | most inflammable sort of material in the | shape of furniture, rattan, baby carriages and go-carts. For two hours the firemen fought the fiames from places of danger, finally subduing them, but not until the building had becn rendered a mere shell TWO BRAVE MEN SAVE LIVES OF FOUR PERSONS Heroic Rescue of Los Angalenos' Hemmed In by Walls of Fire. LOS ANGELES, June 17.—The heroism of Patrolman D. L. Craig and J. H. Smith, a bartender, saved four persons from death by fire at 1 o'clock this morning. The fire was in the store of Morris Dench at 335 North Main street. | Dench, his wife and two children, aged 2| and 5 years, were sleeping in the rear of the store. They were awakened by the| heat, but there was no way out of the | building except through the store, which | was a mass of flames. i In the rear of the place is a small court, | six by eight feet, and on the same levei | as~ the floor. Into this brick inclosed | place the family retreated. Soon the flames began shooting from the windows behind them and they had to hug the cement floor. ! Craig and Smith knew of this court and | going to an adjoining building tried to| reach the imprisoned family from win- | dows ten feet from the ground. Finpaliy | Craig threw himself backward out of the | window and catching his feet in the cas-| ing hung head downward while the ter- | rorized mother passed her chiidren to| him To rescue the man and woman was more_ difficult. Craig could not lift them | and Smith finally jumped into the court and braving the intense heat lifted first | the woman and then the man te Craig, who pulled them through the window. | Smith was rescued a moment later by the firemen. | MUST FACE THE COURT District Attorney of Shasta Couynty Will Ask the Widow to Swear to a Complaint. REDDING, June 17.—The funeral of John H. Yeakey, who was killed by Wil- liam Middleton as the result of rivalry for the affections of Miss Cassie Clawson, occurred to-day. District Attorney Dozier | will ask Mrs. Yeakey to-morrow to swear | to a complaint against Middleton. The | District Attorney is far from willing to jet the case drop. The belief is expressed that some of the defensive testimony given at the inquest was manufdctured. Middleton was visited in jail to-day by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Middle- ton, his brother-in-law, C. K. Parsons, and Miss Cassie Clawson. The girl makes no attempt t6 hide her affection for the prisoner. Former Stanford Instructors Wed. | STANFORD UNIVERSITY, June 17.—| Frederick Huntington Bartlett, a former | instructor in English at the university. | was married to-day to Miss Eleanor Brooks Pearson, another recent member of the English department, in Brookline, Mass. The wedding took place from the | home of the bride’s uncle, Charles Pear- son, and the couple left at once on a bi- cycle trip in the Adirondack Mountains for their honeymoon. WOMAN WORSTS HER ASSAILANT Mrs. Moore of Nevada Victim of Brutal Attack. Frees Herself From Grasp of Stranger After Desperate Struggle. e Special Dispatch to The Call. NEVADA, June 17.—Mrs. Elihu Moore, & young woman of this city, was brutally attacked by an unknown man late Sun- day night. Mrs. Moore was on her way home from town and was passing a de- serted spot on the road when suddenly a man appeared ahead of her. Before she could call for help or attempt to escape the fellow had seized her and was at- tempting to hurl her to the ground. Mrs. Moore is possessed of strength and fear steeled her muscles. The struggle was desperate. Finally, with an almost super- human effort, she broke from his grasp, but not until her clothing was torn from her body. Mrs. Moore ran up the road and managed to elude her brutal pursuer until she reached home. She was in an ex- hausted condition, but managed to tell her story sufficiently to make clear the cause of her pitiable plight. As soon as possible the young woman's father, Levi Nichoison, who is employed in the Champion mine, was informed and a posse started in search of the assailant. Its efforts were not successful and the i N | culprit is still at large. Several theories are given as to the cause of the assault. For the past few weeks Nevada women have been ter- rorized by an unknown man, who at- tacks them on dark streets. It is believed this man was the assailant of Mrs. Moore. A second theory has to do with the do- mestic troubles of Mrs. Moore. She is a married woman with two young children, but some time ago her husband deserted her. He was regarded as a shiftless fel- low. Several days ago Moore was re- ported to have been seen in this county. It is the opinion of a few that there is some connection between his reappearance and Sunday night's affair. Mrs. Moore could not identify her assailant in the darkness a;mhlwas too excited to give a description of him. BOASTS THAT BROTHER “GOT OLD MAN NIERHOFF” Witness at the Inquest Tells of & Conversation With One of the Glovers. AUBURN, June 17.—The inquest into the Nierhoff murder case began this even- ing, but was continued until to-morrow, owing to the absence of District Attorney Chamberlain. Drs. Couture and Snypp, who performed the autopsy on Nierhoff's Lody, were examined as to the cause of ceath. They said that powder marks were visible on the old rancher’s bedy, indl- ting that William Glover’s rifle was dis- arged at close range. A. P. Whitall, a neighbor of the dead man, testified that William Glover called at his house at ncon on the day of the shooting and wanted to borrow his shot- un. That evening, after the murder, a brother of Glover called on him and said that Will had ‘“‘got old man Nierhoff. Miss Nierhoff, the murdered man's daughter, was an interested spectator. She was becomingly attired in black, as was her mother, and appeared to be in deep sorrow. Supreme Lodge Officers.
