"A TALE OF
HORROR FROM
GALVESTON
A+Business Man Of the Texas City
to win D. McMcchcn,
Of This City, Describing
THE AWFUL SITUATION THERE,
The. Death List Foots Up 5000, Of
Which 5000 Bodies Have
Been Identified.

. 4 q H
Mr.. VIII B. McMechen, OF the George
X. McMechen & Son Company, firm
that has several customers among the
wholesale grocers OF Galveston, yester-
day received letter from the senior
member. OF one Of the best known
wholesale grocery firms of the Texas
city, telling of the awful state Of affairs
there since the storm OF few days ago.
He says the newspapers are utterly un-
able to depict the situation Us It really
is, and that the death list is 5000. Of
which 5000 bodies have been identified.
His letter follows:
w. B. McMechen, Wheeling, w. Va.
DEAR FRIEND:-Your kind letter
Just received, and thank you very much
for your sympathy. We have the blues
bad. and don't know whether we Will
continue here or not. All our families
are safe and well, but we lost four nice
houses and contents gone to the bottom
Of the gulf. Our stock Is all damaged.
and you can imagine how 1t looked with
eight feet of water In the store. Where
our houses stood there was eighteen
feetSof water. and 1t lifted the mat
resses off the beds In the second story.
The papers are unable to describe the
situation. and there are no less than
5000 dead, as they have names OF over
5000 dead already, and the bay and gulf
are full OF dead bodies. Large steam
ers are on the island high and dry that
blew&in during the storm. There is not
a sound building in the town, and the
loss will run up into the millions. Our
losses will reach over 1000, and that is
pile for two young men like us that
shaved here for ten years to make 1t,
and lose 1t all in few hours. A great
many firms are bankrupt. but we thank
God that we don't owe cent. We coun-
fernandez our ORDER as we are not
fully decided what to do, and we didn't
want to get In q lot OF goods mad not
have the money to pay for them when
bills come due. We still have our but
ter in storage In the north, which cost
us $4,000. and is all paid for and is
worth $4,000 to-day. which Is nest egg
IL we.want to continue here.
You never saw such q wreckage in
your life. and we hope you will never
have to go through anything like 1t, as
we did. can't tell how we got out
alive. Thousands of houses are entire
lyrgone. and thousands OF people are
homeless, and It is pitiful sight to be-
hnld 49,.

NOT TOBACCO
But Coffee Was the Cause Of the
q Trouble. ~

:. ( I. d.
An old veteran of Springfield, Mass,
made q curious experiment in the use of
tobacco and coffee. He says: II have
been an incessant smoker for forty
years, using at times twenty ci-
gars q day, besides several pipes. I
was also very fond of coffee.
"In 1893 4 noticed my stomach was
becoming weak, and that I could. rot
retain myahbreakfast. Within six
months afterwards had arrived at
that stage where vomited up at least
five breakfasts each week. The doctor
claimed that the sickness was caused
by smoking, SO went under the care
of DR.. Barbault, of Spencer, Mass. who
cured me of the tobacco habit. For
eight months refrained from its use,
but the vomiting continued.
My physician then attributed 1t to
catarrh, so carefully dosed myself
with the catarrh cures, but the Vomiting
became more severe, though not more
frequent. l therefore concluded to re-
sumo my smoking, and get as much
No"aoit luul II. L
noticed that the smoking did not in
crease the vomiting.
Quite n time after that I met a
friend who in one minute put me on the
right track, by telling me that he was
satisfied that 1t was coffee that caused
my trouble. stopped drinking coffet,
and within week the vomiting ceased
entirely. "a Z
Shortly after that took to using
Postum Food Coffee, and found It Titled
all the requirements of coffee. My
family are using 1t regularly. and like
1t as we'll as. the best Java coffee, after
becoming accustomed to its use. We
Know from practical experience. Of the
beneficial effects of Postum Food Cot

a good sized and very ap~preciativo
audience to the Arion last night, and
the musical programme was listened
to with evident interest by all. The

received. This rehearsal concludes the
