AN OLD TRICK OF ALIENS.
Has Already Served Time for Killing a Man
Made Same Excuse.

Boston. June 4.-Dr. Samuel J. Allen,
who is under arrest at White River
Junction, charged with shooting III. NJ.
Duffer of Montpelier was round guilty
of killing Dell Hansel in a saloon on
Howard street, in this city. Feb. A.
1885, and sentenced to serve a term of
five years in the state prison at
Charlestown. The deed was committed
during the previous May. 1t resulted
from a quarrel over change laid upon
the counter by the barkeeper. The de-
Tense at the time of the. trial was that
the killing of Hansel was the result of
the accidental discharge of a pistol
in Aliens hands, but the jury found a
verdict against Allen.
The counsel in the case were Attor-
ney-General Sherman and District
Attorney Stevens, for the prosecution,
and Gen. B. F. Butler and VIM. b.
Gale for the defendant.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
II. N. Dufer Probably Fatally Shot BY Dr..
Allen al White River Junction.

White River Junction, VT, June A.
II. NJ. Duffer of Montpelier, an insur-
ance agent and a professional wrest-
Ter, was shot while passing through
this place, last night, as a passenger
on the Passumpsic way freight train,
and it is feared he will die from his
injuries.
The bullet passed through the car
window and curtain, and entering Duff
fer's right cheek, shattered the upper
jaw split the tongue and upper lip and
just grazed the neck of Conductor
Seeley, who was passing.
There are many conflicting stories
afloat concerning the affair. DIR. I. j.
Allen is under arrest as the one who
did the shooting. He claims that it
was purely accidental. and that he
was shooting at target at the time,
and bullet missed the mark and
passed through the car window. The
train hands, however, claim that the
bullet which went wide of the target
did no particular damage. 1t attracted
their attention, however, and while
the train was stopped not far from
DR.. Aliens house, they protested
against his shooting in that direction
whereupon the doctor deliberately
raised his gun and fired the shot which
inflicted buffers wound.
The injured man was in a critical
condition and the physicians still state
that there is little chance for his re-
covery. DR.. Allen will be held to await
the result of buffers injuries.

ANOTHER STRIKE THREATENED.
New York Clsakmaksrs, 10000 Strong.
Want Advance In wages.

New York, June 4.-Notice has been
served on the cloak manufacturers that
their employees are preparing for 4
strike, which will be second In magni-
tude only to the tailors strike. The
cloak makers are 10000 strong. The
manufacturers have been invited to a
conference at which new scale OF
prices will be ordered. The men say
that they cannot exist under the pres
ent rates.
1t is probable that the ranks of the
striking garment makers will soon be
augmented by the Pants and Vest
Makers organization as well as the
cloak makers. The former have abous
u, 900 members. In the case of the
cloak makers, it is said that strike
can only be avoided by the manu-
facturers granting an increase in wages.
CT from % to 81 per cent. The pressers
are also said to be preparing for a
strike.

PROPER FOOD
And No, Drugs. The Common Sense Way.

The failure of ninety-nine men (and
women) to do what they want, make
money, earn a home or fortune make a
name for themselves, or attain what
ever goal they aim at, is due to i'm
proper living.
Unnatural food and drink gradually
undermine the stomach and nervous
system, and somewhere in the body
the trouble shows, which drugs will
not heal. 1t may be dyspepsia, con-
stipation, heart trouble. kidney COM
plant or lung trouble, or it may show
in bad blood. tumors, piles, weak eyes,
loss of hearing and head troubles, all
these and many more are caused by
stomach and nervous disorder, and
they cannot exist when the stomach
and nerves work properly.
Let us seek natural living to be well
and happy. Abuses of the body cannot
be helped by medicines unless the
abuses stop, and if that is done the
person will get well quicker without
drugs, in nine cases out of ten.
One of the greatest causes of dis
ease of the present day is found in
some things little suspected.
Coffee is one of these polished viii
lains.''
People wonder day after day what
in the world makes me feel So" know
| ing that the i'll feelings slowly add up,
until a sure day of reckoning comes
in the shape of spell of sickness, ex-
pensive to pocket and always a consid
cradle push down the hill in more ways
than one. Yet they don't seem to find
where the trouble lies until they quit
coffee and tea and go onto plain diet.
Thousands are learning these facts,
and it was to help such as find it about
impossible to get on without coffee.
that careful experimenters worked
nearly a twelvemonth to produce Pos
tum Cereal, a beverage with the color,
pungency and piquant flavor of coffee,
but composed of the pure grains of the
field. (wheat, &c) 1t can be used free
ly by adults and children, as it is sim
ply the juices of the cereals and is a
perfect food-drink while in taste and
appearance it is coffee.
1t is scientifically prepared by the
Postum Cereal Co., Lin, of Battle
Creek, Mich, and is not as strong and
acrid as very strong and low grade
coffee, but ranks in flavor and color
with the fine mellow grades of the high
priced Mocha and Java and creams u
the clear golden brown so greatly liked
by connoisseurs. A few days use
makes one very fond of the delicious
nourishing cup of Postum, and the old
i'll feelings of body gradually disappear.
Why? it is asked. Your chemist will
tell you that it is now clearly shown
by analysis that the same poisonous
alkaloids exist in coffee as in morphine,
whiskey, tobacco and strychnine. and
the daily doses directly attack stomach.
heart, liver and nerves. These facts
make plain the reason for SO many
serious attacks on the body from a
hitherto unsupported quarter. It's
the knife in the dark that kills, but
science has thrown light on this sub
ject. and one can now have the salts
faction at least of knowing what 1t Is
that hurts.
