to take advantage of their storm cellars
Striking the eastern end Of town it cut
clean swath 500 to 600 feet wide through
the best portion of the place, sweeping
everything before it. Over thirty houses
were torn to splinters. On one street a
row of houses were entirely demolished.
Here scarcely anyone escaped death or
injury. The walls Of buildings fell with
a crash that sounded above the roar of
the storm, burying people in the ruins
Frame buildings were twisted and lifted
from their foundations; others were utterly
demolished, pieces of them being carried
for miles. Others shifted in their posi-
ton, apparently unhurt; one was turned
squarely around, while another was turned
upside down. Samuel Desper, at the ap-
pearance of the black cloud, started with
his family for a neighboring cellar. but
his house was blown down over them just
as he reached the front door. His two
daughters were caught with him by the
timbers and killed instantly. His wife was
seriously injured, though still alive. Mrs
William Hays was killed while running
up the street in search OF shelter The
mutilated trunk, with the head missing.

DREYFUS' HEN Ally
Germany Threatens if Matters
Go Much Further
TO TELL WHAT SHE KNOWS
In Justice to German Officers
Prospect of Revision.

London, April H.-Ernest Vizeteliy who
has hitherto shown that he is well in
formed on the subject treated, has an
article in The Westminster Gazette today
in which he says the German government
has addressed an expostulatory letter TO
the French government regarding the
Dreyfus case This note was recently pre-
sented to M. Delicasse, the French min
lister Of foreign affairs, by Count Won Nun
ster, the German ambassador to France,
and deals with the proceedings before the
court OF cessation as published IN the
Figaro, and which, the note says, sur
prised and panied the German govern
ment. The note, according to Vizetelly,
intimated that IN certain eventualitieS 1t
would be impossible for the German gov
eminent to refrain from officially publish
ing the facts, in justice to its own officers,
who have repeatedly solicited permission
to speak. The note urged in forcible
terms the desirability, in the interests of
both countries, of a speedy conclusion Of
the present agitation. The presentation
of this note led NJ. Dupuy, the French
prime minister, to bring a pressure TO
pear upon tuS court Oh CdsSSdllOl, WHICH,
however, by majority of three, decided
to continue the proceedings in its own
way and he'd a supplemental inquiry,
which is now virtually ended. NJ. VIE
telly learns that eighteen of the judges
of the court of cessation are in favor of
and fifteen opposed to TeviHon of the
Dreyfus case. It is probable, NJ. Vizetelly
adds, that on a full vote of the judges
Of the united court of CESSATION the re-
visiOnists will have a majority of eight.
Mn. Paul de Roulede and MarceNHa
bert were today committed for trial before
the court of assizes on the charge of pro-
voking offenses against the security of the
state, and melting the army to mutiny.
Conviction involves from one to ten years
Imprisonment and fine.

with whom the crime was supposed to
have been committed. The court grant
ed the wife a divorce on her cross petition,
and under the laws of Oklahoma only
the husband or wife is leigible to prose-
cute on charges Of adultery. The di-
vorce being already granted and in force,
renders it Impossible for Bohannon, as
the complaining witness, TO prosecute
either Harmon or the divorced wife-both
Of whom were before the court on the
same charge-for adultery. The cases
were dismissed.

the treasury at the annual meeting, July

and always will be, one of the best edu-

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish TO impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. Il is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
