EXPLAINS WHY SHE
MADE INQUIRIES
Mrs. Anna' Trescott Finds
That Warner Returned
to Gladstone, Colorado
RUMORS SET AT REST
OAKLAND, Jan. 16.— Mrs. Anna W.
Trescott, a prominent Instructor In the
public schools and a member of the
staff of the Prescott School, has been
making inquiries through the authori
ties at St. Louis. Mo., and Gladstone.
Col., as to the civil status of Edward
S. Warner of the silver State town.
These queries grave rise to a report
that Mrs. Trescott had been Jilted by
the object of her Investigation and that
the inquiries were preliminary to the
commencement of legal proceedings.
The school, teacher set at rest the
rumors today by making a statement
concerning her acquaintance with War
ner and the reasons- why she had set
on foot her quest for information. Mrs.
Trescott said:
'"My reason for beginning an investi
gation concerning, Warner was because
after he had asked me to aid him in
securing a position. for him in this city
and I had interested a number of my
friends in his behalf, he suddenly went
east ' without' a. wond of explanation *o
me s leaving" me in T the position of hav
ingf secured aid for.' one who had no In
tention of accepting It Warner
changed his plans without taking the
trouble to let me know of It.
"I first met Warner two years ago
when I was In Colorado. I have
learned through St. Louis that Warner
returned to Denver and later went
back to Gladstone, where I understand
he is now living. Whether or not he
ia married I do not know."
FALLING TIMBERS
CRUSH CHILD
OAKLAND, Jan. 16.— While playing
with schoolmates on her way home
from school today, Dorothy Inez West,
14 years of age, living with h»r parents
at-557 Sycamore street, was crushed so
terribly between heavy house-moving
timbers that ..she died ' soon afterward.
In company with Dorothy Love, Carl
E. Chambers/-' Pauline Chambers and
other children she stopped to play upon
a pile of the great beams which were
stacked on a vacant lot near 927 Web-^
eter street. In some way the beams
were dislodged from the top and
Dorothy was caught beneath them.
The screams of her companions brought
men to the scene, who lifted the tim
bers and carried the unconscious girl
to Providence Hospital. Dr. Rice was
summoned and did all that was pos
sible, but death occurred while the in
jured girl Was on the operating table.
The right side of her head was badly
cut, the right arm and leg were
crushed and the entire right side of
the body severely injured.
The girl attended the Grant School
and was a favorite with the teachers
and- pupils alike.
OLGA JVETHERSOLE TO GIVE
AN EXTRA "SAPHO" MATINEE
Yields to Desire of Many Who Were
Unable to See Her in Role
Last Week
When she reappears in "Sapho" this
afternoon at the Macdonough Theater,
Oakland, Olga Nethersole will be
greeted by a crowded house, for the
mans* persons who were unable to wit
ness her performances of the character
last week, owing to the great demand
for seats, 'will doubtless take advantage
of this extra, opportunity. San Fran
cisco .will surely be extensively repre
sented In the audience, because the ma
jority! of the people who were disap
pointed dwell on this side of the bay. '\u25a0
This may be Miss Nethersole's last
performance of "Sapho" In California,
as her repertoire Is likely to undergo , a
complete change before she can return
to the Pacific Coast, two years hence.
It was consideration of this fact,
coupled with a desire to gratify those
who appealed to her to give one more
matinee in Oakland ere she leaves the
State, that induced her to cancel an
engagement elsewhere.
To lessen their chance of again being
disappointed, it would be well for those
who Intend visiting the Macdonough
this afternoon to telephone their seat
orders to the box office as early as pos
sible.

DR. PIERCES HEMEDIES.
Is Disease a Crime ?
Not very long ago, a popular magazjna
published an editorial article tn which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind Is due to the
violation of certain of Nature's laws.
But to say that all sickness should bo
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
It would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak-
nesses, various displacements of pelvis
organs and other derangsments peculiar
to her sex.
.Freo.nr.nt bearish of children, with its ex-
actinff demands upon the system, coupled
. with the care, worry and labor of re&rinsr a
lanre family, is often the cause of weak-
nesses, derangements and debility which ara
aggravated by the many household cares,
and the bard, and never-eadlnjr work which
tho mother Is called upon to perform. Dr.
Pierce, the maker of that world-famed rem-
edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and
ills— Dr. Pierre's Favorite Prescription— saya
that one of the greatest obstacles to the curs
. of this class of maladies Is the fact that the
poor, over-worked housewife can not ret tha
i needed rest from- her many household care*
' and labor to enable her to secure from the
use of his " Prescription " its full benefits. 19
Is a matter of frequent experience, be says,
in his extenslT* practico In these cases, to
meet with those In which his treatment fails
by reason of the patient's inability to abstain
; from bard work lons enough to be cured.
. With those suffering: from prolapsus, ante-
version and retroversion of the uterns or
other displacement of the womanly organs,
it is very necessary that, in addition to tak-
lnsr his "Favorite Prescription • they abstain
' from beln g Terr much, or for lone periods, on
their fe«t. All heavy llftlnjr or straining: of
any kind should also be avoided. As much
out-door air as possible, with moderate, li*h9
exercise is also very important. - Let tha
patient observe these rules and the "Favor-
ite Prescription " will do th» rest.
