passing them in a northerly course but at
O'Clock II was obvious to all the people in
Herman that their town must bear the
brunt of the storm. People scurried in all
directions ane sought shelter of the few
tornado shelters. and instantly the town
was a seething mass of debris. After the
first violent burst Of wind torrents of rain

The baron followed the proceedings with
keen interest, but did not otherwise show
his feelings.
Counsel for the baron pleaded that the
prisoners act was not a political one, but
that he acted spontaneously. on the impulse
OF the moment, losing his head in the midst
of the scene of excitement around him.
During counseIs plea the prisoner scrutin-
lied the witnesses and people in the court

In his own behalf the prisoner said that
he did not belong to the Royalist Club nor
to the White Carnation Club, and asserted
that his act was wholly unpremeditated.
He also expressed the belief that the sur
rounding circumstances ought to be con-
sidered. The procureur general. NJ Feuillol-
ley. who personally prosecuted the baron,
In outlining the charges said the blow
aimed at President Loubet was so fierce
that the stick in the hands of the prisoner
was broken on the balustrade. This alone,
the procureur general pointed out. saved
the President from having his face smashed.

nearly one hundred bodies had been found.
These have, for the most part. been taken
to the Catholic and Congregational churches.

storms path, marvelously escaped its fury.
In these temporary morgues the sights are
such as to touch the hardest heart, as the
grief-stricken living recognize in bodies hor-
ribly mangled and often dismembered the
remains of missing dear ones.
The wounded find temporary asylum in un-
injured dwellings on either side of the path
of devastation. where doctors and nurses
from nearby cities and towns are doing
heroic work without sleep or rest. AS many
as possible Of the injured whose chances for
recovery are considered good are being sent
to the hospitals at st. Paul and Minneapolis,

"A short item ago, a relative visiting us
from Colum bia, Ga, was served with a
nice hot cup at breakfast, without being
told that il was Postum Food Coffee
After breakfast l asked him how he liked
our coffee. He said he liked it better
than any cup of coffee he had ever drank,
for it had little peculiar taste that fitted
his palate perfectly. He wanted to know
what brand we used and l told him it
was Postum Food Coffee, no berry coffee
at all. He could not be persuaded that l
was not teasing him until l got the pack

bought quite little to take home to his
family.
You may depend upon it that the cup

tioular to know that Postum is boiled,
for that is thing that coffee users have
to learn. They cannot make Postum by
little simmering, as they formerly
made coffee You can always tell wheth-

has had boiling enough to bring the taste

OLD SMITH BARN BURNED.
Fire on Famous Estate In De,r;ng Las I
ESs Evening.

The alarm of fire from box 921 tallei
the fire department of the Deerlng district
to IA lively blaze at 1915 O'Clock Friday
evening. The fire originated in the two
and half story wooden stable, 30x50
feet on the old II. o. J. Smith properly
situated in what Is known as Smith s
woods. The stable was situated in the
woods qu.te "a distance from the street.
Close TO the stable was brick building
Of two stories and a half that in the day S
when the Smiths resided ON the premises
was occupied by their coachman. The
table, however, was building erected
in recent years something like fifteen
years ago. The buildings had not been
occupied fer several months and the ori-
gin of the fire is a mystery, but 1t is more
than probable that it was the work of
tramps
A few years ago the buildings were oc-
cupied by Angelic Lorello the Italian
contractor. Lorello in connection with
his business kept constantly on hand a
quantity of dynamite for blasting pur-
poses, and it is said that at times there
have been two ton of the explosive stored
under the stable. A small quantit y of the
dynamite which was overlooked by Lo
relic when he moved away was under the
stable and exploded during the progress
of the fire.
DR.. w S Coleman and Mr.. Robert K.
l.. Beals residing on South street, dis
covered the blaze and Mr.. Beals ran TO
the box on the old high school building
and sent in an alarm. The building
burned flercely from the start and in an
instant almost the entire structure was
in flames. The fire leaped across and set
ire to the cupola on the brick house I'D
joining, and had it not been for prompt
action on the part OF the men that build
ing too would have burned.
The several hose companies responded
n remarkably quick time and under the
direction of Chief Eldridge and Assistant
Engineer Moody laid lines Of hose from
stevens Plains avenue and Cherry street.
Several times the trees and the under
brush were on fire but the blaze was
promptly extinguished. The barn was
empty with the exception of an old now
ng machineland other discarded imple-
ments which were destroyed in the fire.
The last tenants of the buildings. Mr.
Frank Philbrook, a carpenter, moved to
another street last fall. and since then the
tramps have loitered arodnd the property
at intervals. The buildings are ow ned
hy Hon. j. p. Baxter of Portland. The
barn was probably valued at $4,000. The
amount of the insurance is I'm known.
