Messenbaugh of this city returned . from the storm-stricken town of Snyder I . today and speaking of the conditions pre vailing there said: The dead will number 100 there and 1 think it will run beyond this number, as many entire families are entirely mlHsIng and cannot bo accounted for, either among the dead or Injured, and besides the re ports from the surrounding country are very meager and will undoubtedly add later insny mote to the awful list of victims. I should Judge that the Injured will number nearly aw, alNiut 2o per cent of whom will die, as there are many whose Injuries are pronounced fatal by the attending phy sicians. . Every building In the town Is damaged land three-fourths of them are good only for 'kindling wood and cannot be repaired at .all. Everything north of the track Is com pletely destroyed, even the grans being Killed. The ground looked as If It had been run over by a big harrow. Tho track of the storm has been deter mined for a distance of about twenty-two tulles, but the dead ami Injured In Its track will not be known for some time, as every one In tho vicinity of tho town Is nerve racked by the awful sights that they have seen nnd are In a bad condition to report Ut i urntely such e. disaster. Thirty boxcars belonging to the 'Frisco road were smashed to pieces and tho round house Is a mass of ruins, as are the cotton Kins. rienty of Help on Hand. There Is plenty of help on hand to take care of the wounded and homeless and to perform the last sad rites for the dead. About eighty graves were- dug yesterday and those who aro to bo burled at huyiler will soon be conslemed to their last resting place, while others will be shipped to other towns for burUU. The train tsulch left here last evening got Into Snyder this morning at 3 o'clock and turned around und came, back to this city, arriving here at noon today. Twelve dead and Injured were taken to La ton on that train nd five were brought, to this City rnrolite to Norman. Those who passed through the terrible storm say the full force of the storm did not last over live minutes, coming Just after a heavy rainfall, and no premonition of the storm was given. It la stated that many of the buildings of the town were covered by tornado insur ance, but how manv and to what extent It I Impossible to rind out at this time. The Bcene In and .around the town Is one that once witnessed would never be for gotten, the army of willing workers taking care of the Injured and preparing the dead for burial; tho utter destruction of dozens of buildings; the dead bodies of hundreds of horses, cattle, hogs and chickens; the scattered household goods from hundreds of homes; weeping children hunting for parents; the husband seeking bis wife; others looking for friends and relatives, all go to make a scene that words cannot do scribe and remind us that One with a force mifhtlor tfian ours holds us In the hollow of His hand. Fully 10 per cent of the Injured will die. Nearly all are Injured In tho head. Of the dead 90 per cent were killed by injuries to the head. ' Storm at Marlorr and Chlckasha. GUTHRIE, Okl.. May 12.

May 12.-A ter rific atorm of wind and rain which has prevailed for the past eighteen hours created terrible havoc throughout thla sec tion. Rumors of loss of life cannot yet be varlfled. Above Catlettsburg the torrent washed out S"0 feet of the big pipe lino of tha Triple State Gaa company and the residents of Quyandotte, Huntington, Kenova, Catlettsburg, Ashland and Ironton and the smaller intervening towns have been without light and gaa for cooking. For more than twelve hours thera was no - telegraphic service out of Huntington, the wires of all companies being down and nearly every long distance telephone also Wing out of commission. The unpre cedented rise in Guyandotte river, eighteen feet wide in twelve hours carried out tha lioom of C. C. Crane & Co., and between 75.000 and 100,000 Iors went out into the Ohio river. Heavy damage to farmers was re ported along the same streams, houses, barns, outhouses and live stock being car ried away by the rush of water. Storm In Ohio. CINCINNATI. May 12.-The rainfall for the last twenty-four hours reached 3.33 inches in thla city, flooding streets, causing j many washouts on tho railroads, delaying I railway trains, blocking traffic on several street car lines and doing a great deal of damage to houses and vegetation over a large section.

STATES ATTORNEY DISPLEASED Illinois Official Thinks Attorney Deneen Never Saw Application for Oil Men's Requisition. PEORIA, 111., May 12. According to a statement made today to the Associated Press there was no error !n the requisition papers for the two Indicted Standard Oil officials presented to the governor, but the authorities at Springfield, acting, presum ably, on the advice of the attorney gen eral's office, refused to grant them, on tho ground that aa the alleged subornation of perjury was committed In Ohio, tho men should be punished there. State's Attorney Schaffer says that he doea not believe that the governor ever saw the papers and that ho Is going to lay the matter before him personally. Sheriff Clay of Tazewell county took the papers to Springfield and they were, pre sented to tho governor's secretary. Later they were returned to him with the state ment that they would not bo signed for the reasons given above.. Mr. Schaffer Is now convinced that a se cret service man in the employ of the Standard Oil company was present durlutf the session of the grand Jury which in dicted the two officials. On returning un expectedly to his office one day he found a stranger in his office. "Do you want to Bee me?" asked Mr. Schaffer. "No," replied the man. "I Just came In to look at your court house. It Is an old tlmo building and I came In to look around." Schaffer will make a personal visit to Springfield early next week to make one more effort to get the necessary papers for the extradition of the two men. C T. Collins of Cincinnati, one of the men, has made a statement to the effect that he will come If he Is wanted, but the state's attorney Bays he does not Intend to depend upon this. PRINCETON ALUMNI GATHER Annual Convention of Club's Associa tlon Will Couvene at Kansas City "aturday. KANSAS CITY, May 12.-Dr. Woodrow Wilson, presldont of Princeton university, who is here to attend the annual conven tion of the Western Association of Prince ton Clubs, which will meet tomorrow, today made addresses before the pupils at the Central High school and the Manual Training High school. Tonight Mr. Wilson will be tendered a reception at the Uni versity club. Delegates to the convention, which takes in all the alumni associations of Princeton west of Pittsburg, will bring together a notable gathering of educators. Including delegates from Cincinnati, In dianapolis, Louisville, Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha and other cities. Among them will be Cyrus McCormlck of Chicago, John D. Harlan of Chicago, Cleveland Harlan of Cincinnati and Mayor Holla Wells of 8t, Louis. CHICAGO, May U. Three severe blows were dealt to the cnuse of tho striking teamsters tonight, and as a result the gov erning body of the organisation, the teams ters' Joint council, will tomorrow night meet to deride whether cr not the strike shall he called off. The decision to call this meeting of the council followed a two hours' session between the officials of the Teamsters' union and the Team Owners' association. The members of tho latter body have all through the present strike been favorable to tho teamsters rather than to the Employers' association. To night, however, tho team owners bluntly Informed the teamsters that their cause was lost and that the best thing they could do was to call oiT the strike and do it at once." The teamsters demurred, but the team owners, who have been their chief re liance since the commencement of tho fight, were obdurate nnd the meeting of tho coun cil was set for tomorrow night. Tho second blow came also from tho Team Owners' association, when tne resig nation of John C. IiHscoll, Its secretary, was tendered and accepted. Secretary Driscoll has been an official of tho Team Owners' association since Its inception, sev eral years ago, and during the present strike has been a potent factor on tho side of the teamsters. There was much dissatis faction among the members of the rganiza tion with certain actions of Secretary Prls- coll in connection with tho strike. The exact nature of the difficulty that led to hla resignation Is not known. Mnnnfnetnrers to Alii Employer The third blow was administered at tho meeting o"f the Illinois. Manufacturers' as sociation, which Is made up of business men from all parts of tho state. At a socret meeting held tonight at the Audi torium hotel tho n embers of tho associa tion unanimously decided that they would uphold the cause of the Employers' asso ciation, which has been conducting the fisht against the ptrlklng teamsters, and that they would do all in their power to muke the Employers' association a per manent institution. The proceedings at the meeting were conliored with all possible Becrecy, even the waiters being excluded from the room for fear that they might divulge what had transpired. Speeches w re made by several mombe'rs of the as sociation, pointing out that it was tho duty ct the organization to stand by the Km plojers' association, nnd when the final vote was taken not a dn-renting vote was cast. Employer Reducing,' Force. Employers today began the execution of a new policy as to the teamsters' strike, men in various manufacturing Industries being 1)1.1(1 off because of the lack of busi ness brought about by tho strike. At Em ployers' association office it was said the number of men laid oft on account of dull ness in the trado and consequent lack of demand for certain manufactured goods would run into the thousands aud would continue unless normal business conditions returned soon. Hundreds of wagons were sent out today by strikebound houses, advertisements for teamsters filled tile newspapers and on every side was evidence of the aggressive ness of employers. The department stores particularly caused large advertisements to appear simultaneously In the newspapers announcing that men are wanted to "till permanent positions" as teamsters and drivers. Protection was promised to pros pective drivers and tne character or men the department stores desire to recruit was Indicated by the fact that references are required from applicants. Most of the ad vertisements state that "union or nonunion" men will be accepted. Kinsley's yestaurant, famed as the scene of banquets, where presidents and royalty have dined, has been turned Into a hotel, where nonunion white and colored team sters are housed and fed. Cheyenne to Import Strikebreaker. CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 12. (Special.) The striking carpenters received a written copy of the ultimatum of the boss car penters, and at a meeting In Union hall last night decided to not troat with thu master builders so long as their member ship contulned tho names of boss painters and boss plumbers. The ultimatum guva, the strikers until 6 o'clock yesterday morning to return to work at the old wage, or negotiations would be off. Tho strikers did not return to work, and tonight the boss carpenters, boss plumbers and boss painters, compos ing the Master liulldors' association of Cheyenne, held a meeting and decided to Import sufficient strike breakers to supply the present demands for workmen. It is fearod there will be serious trouble when tha strikebreakers arrive and efforts are being made to prevent them from going to work. conference of the United lirethren at Rep. rerentatlve hall.

Heretofore the elections have been concluded In one day. After a spirited debate the report was adopted by a vote of 106 to 10ft.

FEAR DEMO.XSTHATIOXS l INDAY Revolutionary Proclamations Thrown Drondeait Over St. Petersburg;. ST. PETERSBURG, May 12. The work men seem determined to make a demon Btratlon Sunday. The social revolutionists are scattering broadcast the most in cendiary proclamations and are also try ing to close shops by sending the ownors threats to pillage their stores unless they close up. Many fantastic reports are in circulation to the effect that workmen are drilling in the neighboring forests, testing bombs, etc. Nevertheless, the au thorities appear quite confident, saying that the agitators will force the workmen Into collisions with troops and police. Several local societies have formally re quested the town council ' and Governor General Trepoft to permit the workmen to meet, parade and make pacific demon strations. General Trepoft says he would be glad to agree to this If he had any as surance that the hot heads would not dis play red flags, sing revolutionary songs or compel interference, which' is aura to lead to bloodshed.

COFFEE HEART Very Plain In Some People. A great many people go on suffering from annoying ailments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience as follows: "1 became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart, from which I suffered almost dally, to the use of coffee, (I had been a coffee drinker for Su years) but 1 found it very hard to give up the beverage. "X realized that I must give up the harmful Indulgence in coffee, but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink, and as tea is not to my liking, I was at a loss for awhile, what to do. "One day 1 ran across a very sensible and straightforward presentation of the claims of I'ostum Food Coffee, and waa so Impressed thereby that I concluded to give it a trial. My experience with It waa unsatisfactory until I learned how it ought to be prepared by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 10 minutes. After I learned that lesson there was no trouble. I'ostum Food Coffee proved to be a most pulatublo and satisfactory hot beverage, and I have used it ever since. "The effect on my health has been most salutary. It has completely cured tha heart palpitation from which I used to Buffer ao much, particularly after breakfast, and I never have a return of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee becuube I'ostum Is not served. I find that I'ostum Food Coffee cheers and invigorates while it produces no harmful stimulation." Na:ne given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial proves an eye opener to many. Read the little book "The Rwad to Wsll- 111 ' iu every pkg. NEW YORK, May 12. After more than eleven months in prison and three mist rials on the charge of murdering Caesar Young, Nan Patterson walked from the Tombs to day a free woman. As she left the great building which has been her home since a few days after Young was found dying In a cab in lower New York, 2.000 people greeted her with cheers, for tho news thit District Attorney Jerome would move for her dismissal from custody had spread throughout the vicinity of tho courthouse. But the accused girl had but a few seconds to see nnd hear the demonstrations before she was whisked away In a cab with her attorney, Abraham Ix-vy. The move to discharge Nan Patterson came rather unexpectedly to the public. It was an hour or so before noon when Dis trict Attorney Jerome appeared before Re corder Goff In special sessions and an nounced that he desired to move the dis charge of the former chorus girl without bail and on hor own recognizance. Thla an nouncement followed three trials for mur der. The second and third of these trials the latter concluded but a few days ago resulted In disagreements; the first In the discharge of tho Jury because of the illness of n Juror before the case had been con cluded. Smith and Wife Released. Not the least Interesting of the day's events and perhaps the great dramatic climax to the troubles of the former show girl was the reunion in freedom with her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, and her brother-in-law, J. Morgan Smith, both of whom were discharged by Justice Cowing in the court of general session, after being held on charges of conspiracy In connection with the Patterson case. Smith was nlso held for contempt of court In falling to obey a subpoena as a witness at tho first trial. He was fined $t0 and released on this charge. Then came the surprise, for Nan Patterson herself paid the fine out bf a $300 check which had been' given her by a friendly newspaper. Speech by Jerome. District Attorney Jerome announced his decision to free Nan Tatterson In a speech In the course of which he declared that during two of the trials of tho girl all the evidence in the possession of tho district attorney's office had been presented to the court and that in both cases there had been a disagreement. He Said he did not believe that at this time. In this county, an other trial would result in anything else than a disagreement. Then he declared that during the last trial he had information that the members of the Jury had agreed that J. Morgan Smith had bought tho re volver, that Nan Patterson carried It In the cab and that Caesar Young did not commit suicide." He took occasion to refute pub lished reports as to the cost of the pro ceedings. Following this line he declared that the newspapers had made "gross mis representations," and then said: This case has caused one more step In this county toward trial by newspaper rather than trial by Jury. I do not refer to those papers which have merely reported the proceedlnRS, but to those who in their editorial rooms have labored to arouse sym pathy for the prisoner, with the result of a serious miscarriage of Justice. Everything that the prosecution has done had my cor dial and hearty approbation. I fear noth inff for myself or my assistants. My as sistant did rightly, bravely, honestly and went forward with my entire anl perfect approbation. He concluded with the motion that Nan Patterson be discharged on her own recog nizance. It waa then that Miss Patterson was sent for, and as a court officer met her in her cell he said: "Come on, Nan. It is all right. You are going free." Advice from Recorder Goff. Recorder Goff, the venerable Judge who has presided In many criminal cases, met tho eyes of tho girl as she walked slowly Into the court room and took the same Beat which sho occupied during the trying daya of her lust trial. He said: Nan .Patterson, tho district attorney has seen fit to recommend your discharge,. I feel bound to say I fully coincide In the decision. There Is nothing I can say In this case that has not already been said, but let me entreat vou In your future life to remember the terrlhle ordeal through which you have passed and to permit every aotion of your life to be guided by that remembrance. Good-bye. The recorder bowed his head as he uttered the final word and closed the case. Crowd Cheers the Girl. A moment later the girl was shaking hands with her counsel. Then she walked steadily from the court to find herself In the arms of her father Just outside the door. The crowds in the corridor etieerea and the police let them have their way. As she reached the street door the demon stration was taken up by a throng outside. Hurrying through the crowd, she took her place in a cab, smiling and nodding to the friendly greetings. As the cab started downtown to the of flee of her counsel mounted police sur rounded it and kept back the increasing crowd, which was threatening one of the most remarkable demonstrations ever seen at the Tomba. In Mr. Levy's offices Miss Patterson briefly expressed her thanks to her counsel. announcing to the newspaper men she was going to her mother In Washington, and was driven to the St. Paul hotel. Then she met her sister and they took an auto mobile ride. J. Morgan Smith Joined the two later and the trio dined together. Miss Patterson took a late train for Washington tonight. of the canal Is n stupendous project, it Is by no means one which cannot be con quered nnd put thrciiKh to n stvcessiul finish.

NORTH SIXTEENTH OUTLOOK Awakening- Anions Business Men nnd Property Owners la .Most Kneoaraslna. The officers nnd executive committee of the North Sixteenth Srreet Improvement club met last nlcht at the Midland hotel and spent several hours discussing plans for tho betterment of the thoroughfare Among the hopeful thlnes reported was a statement by Conrad Young thnt tho non resident owner of a slxty-slx-foot lot near Chicago street had shown a desire to ac cept a proposition whereby he might rent a new $:i'0o0 three-story brick building so ns to net a return of nt least 9 per cent. The owner Intends to make a personal Islt to Orraha in June and will then decide what he will do. He has already Instructed his local representative to ascertain now much he will have to pay for the loan of a cer tain amount of cush. On tho other hand ft Chicago merchant carrying an $86,000 stock of carnets, rugs, wallpaper, paints and oils wants very much to conic to Omaha nnd establish here. He has already paid the city two "Islts end expressed himself as favorably Impressed with the conditions hero and tho ind'l ments held forth. This merchant has had local men looking around for a loc.v.ion, but they have not yet found any that will suit. The new building talked of by Mr. Young Is the second the club has had promised to replace old frame and brick tenements and one-story shops provided tenants can be found who will make the Investment a pay ing one. The latter seem to be In sight and the club members are more than .ivar en thusiastic over the outlook.

PARENTS MUST KNOW THE LAW Police Captain Moatyn Offers Some SuKweatlons in Revard to Juvenile Offenders. Samuel Olander of 610 North Sixteenth street, told Police Officer Lahey If he saw his son. Isaac, anywhere, to arrest him as he was Incorrigible A short time after wards the boy was found and was taken to the police station. Captain Mostyn dis covered that the only charge against the boy was incorrigibility; that he waa under 16 years of age, and that no warrant had been issued for his arrest. He directed that the boy be relensed. The boy prom ised to appear at the Juvenile court this morning. A good many people have an incorrect notion about the provisions of the law in these cases," said Captain Mostyn. "They think If they simply notify an officer that a child Is Incorrigible, the child can be ar rested and held by the police until turned over to the Juvenile court. Tho law does not permit us to do so. We have no right to keep a child under 16 years of age under the same roof with other prisoners, and there is no provision made by the legis lature for a place of detention. "As the Juvenile court is the only one before which a child under 16 years of age can be taken for offenses named in the law, parents should understand that they must make compiaint and get a war rant, and thla should be done at a time when the child enn be taken to the court and the case disposed of. Somo people seem to think that when they can't man age their children they can have them ar rested and given a acare by the police. They aro mistaken about this."
