NO "SUBSTITUE" CON-

Let Each Stand on its Own Merits

A great many limitations" of, and
substitutes for coffee are being offered
on the market at present. The fact that
such a great number of intelligent peo-
pie cannot digest regular coffee leaves
a fertile field for the manufacturers Of
so-called substitutes - but in the opin-
ion of the writer. there is no substitute
for coffee. Coffee is a distinct delicious
bevera ge, and any substitute for it is in
clined to raise a feeling of disgust in the
mind of the drinker; on the other hand.
there is a Postum Cereal beverage, made

tute' for any of these. Incidentally, it
looks exactly like the finest Mocha coffee
and has much the snappy, delicious taste
of fine coffee, but the careful drinker can
detect a distinct flavor of the grains and
this flavor sets up a new taste which as
surely takes possession of the user as
coffee or tea ever did The redeeming
feature of this newly-acquired taste is
the fact that the habit is acquired for a
pure health food drink, made from the
grains nature intended for the use OF

Big Row at Newton Over Water
works Labor
Tries to Force Men
to Work
FOR 75 CENTS A DAY.
The Men Contracted for S1.3O
Day.
Contractor Now Imports Ital-
ians-Great Indignation.

Newton, June 26.-TheFe is a big row
on between the men employed on the
waterworks excavations and the con-
tractor, c. n. Seckner.
Sixty men digging in the pipe trench
es for the water main extension, were
notified by the contractors Thursday
that they should submit to a reduction
in wages of from $1.30 to 20 cents per
day or quit work.
This was in direct conflict with the
statement made the day before that all
Ia borers in the trenches should receive
S1.30 per day for their work.
The Republican says:
Waterworks Contractor c. NJ. Seek
ner this morning telegraphed to Chi
cagO for $50 Italian laborers for the
WaterWOrks.
This fact was not generally known
until this afternoon when young Mr..
Seckner admitted to newspaper cor
respondent here that the telegram was
sent: that the labOrers were Italians;
that $50 was the number asked for. and
that they would arrive as soon as posi-
bic and be put to work
This will be bad news to Newton and
Harvey county labOrerS who We're led
to believe that their services would be
desired in preference to all other com
ers-in fact this was the stipulation
when the bonds were voted and the
contract let. It scarcely seems pOssib BILE
that there can be such dearth of do
meSt5C la Dor. Harvest lust barely has
commenced and it is difficult to believe
that men are so scarce round about
here Certain it is that at least the
contractors can get men within a radius
of 80 miles without bringing the slime
and the scum and the filth of pauper
foreign Ia Dor here from Chicago and
exalting that class of workmen above
our own home laborers
The Republican does not know any
thing about it, but must say the re-
fusal of the contractors yesterday to
pay full wages to those doing mems 8
work and the incidents connected with 1t
would lead to the suppositiOn that it
merely was a scheme to go outside of
Newton for labor which could be gotten
for 70 cents and 81 per day instead of
S1-25 or $50
The Republican believes that at least
80 able-bodied, strong men in addition
to those already employed can be Sc
cured here in Newton for the work and
would like to see the experiment tried
To that end the Republican would like
to announce that a register will be kept
in its business office where Newton la
bOrers who are willing to work on the
waterwOrks at $50 per day may leave
their names. The Republican most en-
pha tically is in favor of home labor.

AN UNKNOWN CANCER
Affected David Love and Finally
Caused His Death.

The funeral of David Love was held
this afternoon a the Second United Pres
byterian church. corner of Polk and Hun
toon streets. The Rev. R. A. Evans. pas
tor of the church, conducted the services.
Mr. David Love died very suddenly and
unexpectedly Thursday morning at his
home, 1871 Polk street. For more than a
year past he had had a throat disease
which puzzled the doctors. A post NOR
tenn was held at which it was found that
the deceased had come to his death by
choking. Instead of a structure of the
throat, which had been supposed was his
ailment, it was found that the epiglottis
was affected with a cancer. This pressed
against the opening and finally caused
his death
