Beaumont. Tex. Sept. R-To-night one

q column Of fame high into the air. Efforts
made this afternoon TO e~xtinguish the flames
were not successful. but more boilers have
been sent for. and the plan Of smothering y

tank burned itself out this afternoon. and
the big one probably win die out by morn
ing. Many Of the oil companies have lost
their pumping plants. and have wired orders
for new machinery. and this will be in
stalled as soon as possible. An examination
leads to the belief that none Of the wells
has been permanently injured
There IS a difficult problem to be con-
fronted as soon as the burning gusher IL
extinguished. and that is the control OF
the well. The gate valve has been melted
q. and. while II is probable that this can
be replaced. It win be q difficult operation
Estimates of the damage still vary, but
there is q general acceptance of about
N0e.0o as the figure that viii cover the

Of the Army, l suffered agony for two
years from case of chronic gastric ind-
gestion, and now that / am free from all
the tortures attendant upon it, attribute
it to the good effects of Postum Food

age.
l used medicinal and mechanical means
to relieve myself during those two years
and even though / had left off the use
of coffee, | did not find myself in any
measure free until had commenced using
Postum.

grees | have initiated into using Postum,
every member of the mess, some OF

denunciation of anything manufactured.
And going still further, | have supplied
it to our patients in lieu of coffee; none
have found fault, while many have
praised it highly. and when returned to
duty, have continued the use of it when
it was possible for a soldier has an ex-
tremely hard time in trying to choose his

For the past eight months, not grain

A GOOD MAN GONE
The Death Of Mr. J. r. Barley Occurred Yer-
terday Afternoon.

After a lingering illness and confine-
mont to his bed for over four months,
Mr.. ]. r. Barley, living on New Bern
Avenue, died at 745 o'clock yesterday
evening in the 18th year of his age.
Mr.. Barley came to Raleigh from
Nash county nineteen years ago, and
from the beginning has always been in
tcrested in all that made for the best
interests of the city. He was one of the
leading members of the Tabernacle Bap-
tist church, one of its deacons, and a
teacher in the Sunday school.
He leaves a wife and two daughters,
Mrs. R. I. Gowan and Mrs. o. L. Belts.
He was a member of the Royal Arcanum
and of the Ancient Order of United
Worlmen, and L. OBJ. Branch Camp OF
Confederate Veterans.
He has been visited by a great many
of his relatives and friends during his
long illness and to these he gave the
most positive assurance of his faith in
the son of God, and of his readiness to
go when He should call for him.
He will be greatly missed by his
family that he loved so much, by his
church, whose services he so faithfully
attended, by the poor and needy to whom
he was ever kind, and by our entire com
munity where he was so highly re-
spected.
The funeral will occur from the
Tabernacle church Friday afternoon at
o'clock.
