Mark Twain's Recipe.

The Way They Make Coffee in Europe
Take a barrel of water and bring
ft to boil, rub a chiccory berry against
a coffee berry, then convey the former
antO the water.
Insert the remains of an old COW in
a hydraulic press and when you shall
have acquired a teaSpOOnful of that
pail blue juice which an old supersti-
fiOn regards as milk, modify the malig-
nifty of its strength in a bucket of tepid
water and ring up the breakfast. Mix
the beverage in a cold cup, partake
with moderation and keep a wet rag
around your head to guard against
over excitement This method of
preparation and serving is a fair exam
pie of the manner in which Postum
Cereal Food Coffee. regular coffee, tea,
many cases. No good can be obtained
without the expenditure of some skill
and time. A delicious and highly nOur-
fishing drink can be had from Postum
If boiled full Is minutes after boiling
commences. It is rich in the phos-
pilates and gluten, and its use in place
of coffee for 10 days viii, in many
cases, relieve stomach, bowel, and
nervous troubles. It is worth trial by
any one with any sort of functional
troubles for the curious complex man
ner in which a. diSOrganized nervous
system works, is liable to produce
trouble in any organ of the body and
a relief from the (unsuspected) cause
will produce relief in the disorder.
Postum at breakfast, lunch, and din
ner, in place of coffee may solve the
problem. 1t is worth a trial

UNTIL DEATH Do US PART
The Sen tim ent of the Congregational
Church for its Old Pastor.

The resignation of Rev Linus Blakes-
ley as pastor of the First COngrega-
tiOnaI church has been declined by the
congregation and Mr. Blakesley has de-
cided to remain with the church that he
has been pastor of for q years.
The meeting was held last night in
the parlors of the church, T. 3. Mayo
acted as chairman and Harold Cart
hdge acted as secretary.
The matter of accepting or rejecting
Mr.. BIakesley's resignation was dis
cussed by those present.
J. H. March spoke first and his re-
marks were for the retention of Mr..
Blakesley. Mr.. J. H. FOUGHT followed.
I think" said Mr.. FOUGHT, that a
change is necessary. 1t has been nee
essary for the past nine years. 1 am in
favor of accepting the resignation, as
was seven years ago, when Mr-BIakeS-
ley rendered his first one. Then 1 had
the bOldness to vote for that measure
alone, and 1 will vote for it again to-
night. 1 have nothing but the most
friendly feelings for Mr.. BIakesley per
sOnally, but I think it would be better
to accept his proposition, as he un-
doubtedly means it"
II. c. Bowman said: q think some
of the members of the congregation
have outlived their usefulness; not our
pastor"
Charles Morton, J. S. Sue, Peter Fish
er, Mrs. H. p. JacQuith, George +. Bates
and several others spoke in favor of the
retention of Mr.. Blakesley.
The ballots were distributed and VO-
LeQ- Inc result showed - IN IaNOE- OI
accepting the resignation, and 142
against the acceptance.
A rising vote showed the sentiment of
the audience was for Mr. Blakesley to
appear and receive the news of the ac-
ton of the meeting. A committee was
appointed to wait on Mr.. Blakesley at
his home and to escort him to the
church. Mr.. Blakesley was called up
on for an address. He spoke as fol-
lows:
Il did what I thought was my duty
to you and to myself" he said. I
think that 1 had sufficient grounds for
taking the step I did, and fear that
your love for me has got the better of
your judgment. There is nothing dear
er to me than my love for the church
and I feel that I ought to remain"

TALES OF THE GUTTER.
Police Notes and Incidents of the Day
and Night

Since the repairs have been in pro-
gress at the city Jail women arrested
by the police have been taken to the
county Jail for safe keeping. When the
police arrested Carrie Purnen, a low
cOlOred woman of Smoky Row, who
was in a beastly state of intOXication,
she was taken as usual to the county
Jail. She had had some court expert
ence and in her drunken delirium she
walled It's a state case, It's a state
case.
She imagined that she had been
turned over to the county authorities
for justices of the peace and deputy
constables to make fees out of. In pO-
lice court she pleaded guilty and was
fined.
Last night PatroIman Hendricks ar
rested Dude GOggins. a cOlored char
acter of Smoky Row and took him to
the police station. GOggins was kept
in the waiting room until the sergeant
should arrive and make an order in the
case. But Goggins watched his chance
and escaped. He ran west on Fifth
street to the alley and turned north.
Patrol Driver Heartburg gave chase.
He called to GOggins to halt. but the
cOlOred man only ran the faster. Heart
burg drew his revolver and ran his
best after the prisoner, but he tripped
on a stone and fell headlOng in the al
ley and Goggins escaped.
For the first time in a long while
the police last evening arrested two low
women on the charge of street walking.
Time was in Topeka when the streets
were infested with women of bad repu-
tatiOn who solicited on the main
streets. But for many months these
women have been compelled TO stay in
their quarters more and they have been
arrested at regular intervals by the po-
lice and fined, which action they ex-
pected and did not object to. 1t has
been the practice of Chief Steele to raid
the principal disorderly houses every
month between the 20th and the 31st.
But last evening Myrtle Bundy and
Nellie Gray were out on the streets and
were arrested. This morning they
pleaded guilty and We're fined $40 each.
