separated and oue or two of them
went to San Francisco and stopped
at the fated Occidental Hotel.
From that place they wrote Mrs.
Porter to join them, but not liking
to transfer so often she came by
Sacramento, otherwise she would
have been in San Francisco when the
appalling earthquake occurred and
would probably have lest her life.
Those who were in San Francisco
and who desired her to meet them
there were Ed Barrett and wife,
formerly Misa Flinn, and a sister
of the later, al3o Miss Kate Barrett,
all of Albany. None of the party
have been heard from since the dis
aster and relatives and friends in
this city are nearly frantic with fear
for their welfare.

the fire alarm and see how effect
ively the youngsters had been
taught the drill. Within 60 seconds
from the first note of alarm the old
school building, where the alarm
was given, had been emptied.
Prof. Holmes himself was somewhat
surprised over the alarm, however,
he reports that all the youngsters
behaved in splendid fashion. With
in five minutes from the first alarm
the youngsters were all back at
their 6tudies again. The drill, ef
fective as it was, most have been
very satisfactory to the visiting
Girectors. - 1

Shortly after Mrs. Otto Herse
departed with her children a week
or two ago for her old home in Wesi
Point, Nebraska, a dispatch came
for her announcing the death of her
mother. Mrs.' Herse knew not that
her mother was dead until she ar
rived at the depot of her home
town, where she expected to greet
her mother. It certainly was a
hard blow to find her mother dead.
The funeral occurred after Mrs.
Herse reached home. This certainly
was a sad affair and many friends
:n this city sympathize with Mrs
Hrse in her bereavement.
