C0WIE rs FOUND GUILTY
The willy Detective SO Pronounced by a
Jury for Kidnapping.


| A jury in Judge Smiths court in
Chicago Saturday afternoon found
Fred G.. Cowie guilty Of kidnapping
Bernard Ell. Hoeffer and fixed his pun
ishment at imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary. William Alexander, tried
with Cowie, was found not guilty.
CoWie was astounded at the verdict
and gazed at the jury in amazement.
Mrs. CoWie, the prisoners wife, was
affected to tears. Assistant States
Attorney Grove, Who prosecuted the
case, told the jury that he believed
Alexander had simply been CoWie's
man Friday tool in the hands of
a clever and INSCRIPTIONS man and
he urged the jury not to let Cowie es-
cape. According to this verdict, Aug.
II, 1895, Cowie kidnapped Bernard ii.
Hoeffer, a cabinet maker, and brought
him to. Kenosha. Hoeffer was charged
with being one Of eight men accused of
setting fire to the Chicago Bedding
company's plant, causing loss Of
$4,000 Cowie was instrumental in
sending three men to the penitentiary
for the fire. and an effort will now be
made, il Is said. to get them out on the
ground that the evidence upon which
they were convicted was manufactured
by C0wie.
District Attorney Buckmaster When
seen about the case this morning said:
I am surprised at the verdict in the
Cowie case, Tor I do not believe CoWie
is guilty. Neither lie nor Alexander
nor Foeffer ever said anything to me
to indicate that force was used in
bringing Hoeffer to Kenosha ID fact,
Hoeffar said repeatedly that be came
voluntarily Ills conviction was
brought about through tie perjured
Testimony Of Graft, who IS noted as q
professional witness, and Iiooffer and
his Wi who are part OF the same
gang. As to The threats against Har-
kin aAa myself, they We're made With
the deQt intention 81 intimidation.
I5 IS cry easy, hoWevel, to see why
thex ~ bitter against u.s. laif
friends are in the penitengiarg and we
have aroused the hatred Of the whole
Jewish synagogue by putting them
there and refusing to assist in obtain
ing their pardon TO my mind it is
evident that those Chicago Jews can
concoct a story for any purpose that
will serve their ends.

IMITATION COFFEE.
The Name Not Fancied by Postum Cereal
Company.


Coffee drinkers may DE interested to
know the opinion Of some competent
physicians in regard to the use Of
Postum, the grain drink, in place Of
coffee Let it be understood that the
manufacturers do not decry the use of
coffee by healthy persons, but there is
a great army of intelligent men and
women of the present day who cannot
stand the steady, daily poison of coffee,
tobacco and whiskey without feeling
the effect in some serious bodily de-
rangement.
Dr. r. f. Cassidy, editor Of the
" Medical Argus Minneapolis, Mimi,
writes, enclosing the money for third
case, and is kind enough to add: " /
fully coincideEwith your views in re-
gard to the use of coffee and tobacco
by Inconsistencies nervous patients.l +
am using Postum Food Coffee every
day and am greatly pleased with it. :
a great many people who are not
keenly sensitive in their coffee tastes,
state that Postum tastes SO much like
coffee thar they do not notice the diff
ference when lit Il. served at breakfast
The makers donot claim, however,
that it has exactly the same taste as.
the finest coffee. tt has exactly the
same color, and is just as piquant and
pnngent ia its taste as the finest Mocha
coffee. but the taste is distinct and be-
longs to Postum alone.

Linn, OF Battle Creek, Mich, and t is
not an imitation Of any drink, but

a BICYCLE PATH
one Be1ng Made Between Here. and
Racine.

One Being MaQe BeJWeeH mere, anu
Racine.
The wheelmen Of Kenosha tried last
year to get the Racineites to do some
thing toward building a bicycle path
between their town and here. Keno
sha wheelmen offered to meet them
half way and build half the path, but
beyond little bluff at it up there
nothing was done. The Kenosha
wheelmen propose to go on and build
their half Of it and have started Oh it,
Two miles Of the path, il fact, have
already been laid out, bridged, Gull
verted and neatly graded, and every
thing done but put the cinders On, and
that will be done very sooll
The path begins at the Sanitarium
and follows the side Of the road just
after it first starts there is one twenty
four foot bridge already in and ia the
course Of the TWO miles built there are
fully fifteen or twenty culTerts built
and covered. The path is SD. con-
structed that it will drain itself after
every rain and will rot, therefore, be
apt to be seriously damaged during the
time that other roads are in impossible
condition.
Tho work OH this path is being done
by tile money contributions Of the
wheelmen of this city. zach one is
being ASKED to give what he can, the
various contributions ranging all the
way from 80 cents To So. Some Of the
wheelmen are doing part Of the work
besides.
There is DO bluff about this. The
path is being built and the sum Of
about $500 will be sunk in it by the
time it is finished and possibly consid
cradle more before it is done.
The Wheelmen here are sincerely in
hopes the Racine wheelmen will be
able to get a move on themselves and
meet the Kenosha path at Berryville
with something equally good

BAD BREATH
Is what woman breads More Than
Pestilence or Famine.

And yet thousands of women are Sc
afflicted In spite Of all they can do
this continues to grow worse, or at
least grow no better. Tooth brushes
and breath perfume seem of no avail
The reason Of their failure is, in the
majority Of eases at least, they do not
know the cause of their trouble Per-
haps the most frequent cause of un-
pleasant breath is catarrh. The in
Illumination of the mucous membrane OF
mouth and throat discolors the teeth,
coats the tongue, causes the lips to be-
come harsh and sore, and imparts a
more or less disagreeable odor to the
breath. Such a condition must be an
extreme annoyance to the women
whose instincts are naturally dainty
and she would do anything in her power
to overcome it.
To ali such women, the word that
Pe-ru-na will absolutely cure catarrh,
will therefore be good news. Pe-ru-na,
by removing the catarrh, sweetens the
breath and causes healthy secretions ia
take the place Of the irritating ones
which have been the cause of SO much
discomfort The teeth are easily
cleaned and the effects Of brisk
remain. The tongue resumes
its natural color and the unhealthy
coating disappears. Catarrh Of the
also IS often the cause Of foul

They had d rupture a week or SO age
with the Windsor band, and last Sat

Shortly after the rupture with the

The Rockefeller Floral Clock.

An Eastern journal is responsible for
remarkable description of what may be
called floral clock. 1t is on the grounds
of Mr.. John n. Rockefeller, at bis country
seat at Tarrytown, n. Y, and is said to be
the suggestion of Mrs. Rock efeller, W hose
knowledge of botany and taste for flowers
dates back to the days when she taught
school in this city. tits further stated that
there has never been floral clock in this
country, but two have been planted in Eng
land, one owned by the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, and the other by the Duke OF
Westminster. In contradiction TO this, and
perhaps as a sort OF guarantee that the
story is not as unsubstantial as 1t sounds,
1t may be stated that recent item in a
San Francisco paper credits the University
of California with the possession of sim
nar flowery marvel.
Perhaps it viii be of interest to quote
portion Of the description of the Rocke-
feuer timepiece. According to the writer:
THE design for Mr. Rockefellers clock,
&c Is said, has Just been completed by an
Ohio landscape gardner, who has selected
the common yellow dandelion TO represent
the hands. 1heseflowers open at $50 a. m.,
and close at $40 p. m, and the hands VIII
point to the arrangement of flowers repre-
senting those figures. For other parts of
the queer timepiece the gardener has sug-
gested a large number out of the many
from which selection may be made, and
Mrs Rockefeller viii decide which these
shall be. The yellow goats beard win be
used for one. 1t grows in the meadows
everywhere, and in the poor districts Of
Scotland the schools which cannot have
clocks are dismissed by it. For the p.
flower the hawkseed has been suggested
as the best, as il closes at the hour to the
minute Then the snow thistle, also com-
mon to the meadow, closes its little W hite
flower at exactly p. m. The hest11 a III.
plant is from the pasture, and is called
the sow thistle. 1t opens at "a. III and
begins TO close at IL, but is not completely
closed before noon.
1.-The water lily and several other menl-
hers of the lily family are celebrated for
the exac:ness with which they open and
close each day, and there are number Of
flowers common to the everyday sight that
may be made to do duty in theconstruction
Of the novelty that is to contribute TO the
pleasure OF Mr.. Rockefeller and his friends.
From a distance the clock Will have the
appearance of flower bed, but no one VIII
on close Inspection mistake it for anything
other than what il is That those not
familiar with the habits of the flowers may
anticipate the pretty timekeepers in their
duty, an oilcloth book, written in indelihle
ink, probably will be placed alongside the
clock, so that those who watch may inform
themselves. cleveland Plain Dealer.
