BRA1NY GUESTS
Frequently Have Trouble With What
is Found on Fashionable Tables.

It has been discovered by some OF the
society ladies in some of the larger
cities that a. number of the most es-
teemed guests at their functions" are
more or less disagreeably affected by
coffee, this fact being particularly OBJ
servable among the brilliant and brainy
ones. To meet the want of coffee fan
ciers with whom the subtle beverage
does not agree, Postum, the health cof-
fee, has been quite largely introduced
in fashionable quarters. This is a sin
gularly appetizing drink, made from
cereals (wheat, etc.) by the Postum
Cereal Co., Limited, Battle Greek, Mich,
which incidentally looks and smells
like fine coffee, but instead of producing
the unpleasant disturbances with the
digestive organs, as coffee does in num-
berlesS cases, it agrees perfectly with
the weakest stomach and is nOurish-
ing and fattening, being made wholly
from pure grains. 1t can be served
strong as an after dinner coffee with
perfect success as to looks, taste and
effect upon the guests.
a reliable grocer will never offer a.
cheap or weak imitation of a genuine
article because he happens to make a.
little extra profit. But it is well to
observe that when genuine Postum
Cereal coffee is ordered, that you get
Postum and not a spurious imitation

SENATORS TO TAKE HOLD.
An Investigation of the Trusts Is on
the Programme.

Washington March 3.-The statement
is printed that the Republicans of the
senate have decided to investigate the
trusts. The general idea is that 1t VIII
be done at next winters session, al
though it may be started at the extra Ses-
sion While the method of investigat ton
has not vet been decided upon, the proba-
bilities are that a special commission viii
be appointed with ample powers, and viii
be given plenty OF time The necessity
for a deep probing of trusts has been
forced on the practical politicians OF the
senate. .4
These leaders now appreciate the situa-
ton and have for some days been discus
sing the best method of proceeding.
The Republicans are to make it. Sucn
party workers are behind the movement
as Quay of Pennsylvania, Elkins OF WeSt
Virginia. Hale of Maine, and Alllson OF
Iowa Senator German of Maryland is
one of it's Democratic members. Thonas
G. Platt of New York is to be taken INTO
their councils. while Wetmore OF Rhode
island and Gear of Iowa are also men
toned. -,
The great power of the trusts, the enor-
NOUS amount of their capital the great
number of their employees, their tyranni-
cal dealings with smaller concerns and
their unlimited power over trade ana com
merce have alarmed the party leaders,
and it is said that the agreement IS very
general that something must be done to
curtail their power -

ability to control these combinations by
legislation the successful working OF the
Georgia law is pointed to-

CLEVELAND'S GOVT.
Tt is Troubling Him Seriously and
Causing Some Anxiety.

Washington, March 3-President
Cleveland has suffered for a week past
from rheumatic govt. which has now
assumed such proportions that there is
some question of whether or not he will
be able to take part in the inaugural
ceremonies at the capitol tomorrow, al
though he is taking especial care of
himself in order that he may perform
his part in the ceremonies While his
condition is not such as to excite any
alarm it is extremely painful. Secre-
tary Thurber admitted that the presi-
dent was confined to his bed Sur
geon General Sternberg of the army
was called in. He said that rest and
nursing was all that was needed to put
the president back on his feet, but he
advised quiet and as little worry as
possible over official duties.
For several days the president has
been receiving no visitors, and all his
office work has been transacted sitting
at his desk with one leg swathed in
bandageS and resting on chair. Yes
terday he was not able even to go to
his office. The presidents condition is
causing anxiety to senators and repre-
sentatives of both parties, who fear
that it may cause him to leave unsign-
ed a number of minor bills of particular
interest to the members who have been
pressing them and which otherwise
would have received the presidents
signature before the close of his term
of office.
held yesterday, but for the first time
it was conducted without the presence
of the chief magistrate He remained
in his private apartments and all mat
tiers have been referred to him there
AS to the possibility of the presidents
ability to attend the inaugural exer-
cises, Secretary Thurber said today: Il
fear there is none, but he will go if he
can force himself to do it.

HOUSE APPORTIONMENT.
Makes But Few Changes in the Pres
emit Representation.

enC representation.
The house in committee of the whole
last night recommended the legislative
appointment bill for passage The con-
sideration of the bill began at 8 o'clock as
a special order and was not concluded I'M
til 1920. The preliminary proceedings
consisted of a preliminary debate between
Mr.. Lobden and members on the Populist
side of the house, over the question
whether or not in considering the appor-
tionment the house could consistently
conf1fle it to representative districts. Mr..
Iobden urged that a legislative apportion-
ment includes both senatorial and repre-
JOIN the former proposition, but was out
During the consideration of the prelim-
mary topics Speaker Street took occasion
to remind the members that It was the in
tention of the Populist majority in the
house to look after the interests of the
party and the reapportionment bill would
not be neglected, because it was an excel
lent opportunity.
Lambert of Lyon, replied: 81 am glad
to know that the speaker, even at this
party SO far, and the session IS nearly
ended, he has done nothing for it or any
Early in the session it was decided by
the Populists that the senate should man
age the measure reapportioning the state
as TO senatorial districts, leaving the rep
resentative districts to the house com
mittee.
The most important changes attach
Haskell to Gray county, Stevens to Grant
county, Seward to Meade county and Nor
ton of Stevens.
This makes loss of three representa-
t1ves as Morton county sends only a dele
gate who has no vote in the house.
Jackson county is made one representa-
tive district, losing representative. This
makes a total loss of four representatives
in the state which is made up by giving
Marshall, Franklin, Montgomery and
Butler an additional representative.
Representatives Brooke and I4arimer
made a hard fight to prevent changes be-
ing made in the boundaries of the Shaw
nee county districts but the Populists had
their wagon well creased and run it over
the minority without any consideration.

NOT LEGAL WOLVES.

G. G. Clemens and David Overmyer
Indignantly deny Major Hudson's as
sertion that they, in their professional
relations with the state printer case

court. are legal wolves Both gen.
tlemen further insist that they are in
no sense representatives of Mr.. Snow,

state.
Mr.. Clemens says: 81 have had no

Mr.. Shows friends because of my atti-

the governor. The governor grew weary
of the complications which were con-
stantly increasing and directed the at
torney general to bring an action which
would settle the contest The attOr-
ney general, being party TO Major
Hudson's suit, did not wish to be his
own lawyer. On his recommendation
the governor retained Mr.. Overmyer
and myself to represent the State-not
Mr. Snow. The statute expressly gives
the governor power to do this.

into court in a needless and SenSelesS

the attorney general in an action
brought by the state to determine the
title to a constitutional office; an action
made necessary by HudsonS own act
in usurping the office, imposing himself
upon the state and drawing from its
treasury many thousands of dollars,
not one cent of which he was legally
entitled to. The question with the

and adopted agencies have selected to
