INCLINED TO PEACE.
RESULT OF THE LEADvILLE IN
CURRY.
Chairman Reuter- Thinks That Both sides
Are Less Bitter Than Before tho Invss-
tisation, and he Hopes for u Settlement.

Denver, Feb. S.-Chairman Reuter- of
the committee appointed to investigate
the Leadville strike, In an Interview
yesterday said:
"The citizens Of all classes in Lead
Vile treated the committee with great
consideration, and their hospitality was
as unbounded as their hearty support
Of our course. Our meetings, as you
know, were open and at every session
the room was crowded with citizens of
the camp interested in the testimony
offered. At no time were there any un-
seemly demonstrations, and no scenes.
Although the feeling between miners
and mine operators ran high Mt one
time In Leadville, no open demonstra-
tions occurred during our hearings.
Both sides were given full opportunity
to express their minds fully and SO FAR
as we were able to observe there were
no evidences OF intimidation and fear
nor Indications of an effort to deceive
the committee on the main facts Of the
dispute.
"Of course 1t would not be proper for
me, at this time. to talk OF the hearing
or of the probable findings In the case.
| am inclined to believe, however. that
we shall be able to submit n unanimous
report. Much of the bitterness Of feel
Ing between the two sides appears to
be allaying and there Is an undoubted
sentiment gaining force and strength
toward more charitable and cOncilia-
tory aspect. Both sides have had
enough of rumor. false report. jealousy
and chickering's. They had n full op-
portunity to express their minds with
out interruption before the committee
and through the press to the public.

questions. published nt the opening OF
the hearing. and our efforts were di

on NIL occasions the committee sought
to suppress and allay bitter feelings

appear that the citizens OF Colorado
want more to have peace than to con

Denver. Feb. IA special to the Re.
publican last night said:
The legislative investigating commit.
tee resumed Its session this morning.
Sheriff +. +. O'Mahoney was the first
witness. He testified that the com.
munity was peaceful until the starting
up OF the Coronado. He believed that
II was the starting that mine that
caused the conditions TO change. There
was current rumor at the time that
members OF the Miners Union were
carrying arms. The peace officers were
partial. The troops were not sent
soon enough. and when they were sent.
200 would have been sufficient to keep
the peace. The presence OF the militia
undoubtedly acted as restraining in.
fucncc. He has had no trouble since
he took office. The witness said that
he believed that the fifty militiamen
now on duty should remain. He con.
sidcred the conduct Of the Missouri
miners since their arrival here rs good
Mayor s. ID. Nicholson testified that
about August II he heard rumor that
the union had bought arms. He also
heard that the owners Of the Coronado
had bought nrms. He did not appre-
hcnd any trouble. Thought the con.
duct OF the imported miners in the
main was not good.
The committee sent word to cx-Sher.
In Newman. asking whether he de-
sired TO make any statement. He re-
Piled that he had no explanation to
make. and had nothing TO say.
Judge Frank W. Overs OF the Dis.
trict court was next called, and told
his story ns follows: II was In March
when he first heard that strike was
TO occur. on June 10. while he was Mt
Twin Lakes. the news was telcgraphcd
from Lcadvillc that n strike was de-
clnrcd. He was surprised. and consid-
cred II ill-ndviscd. He came to Lead.
vile and began to take such steps as
were calculated to bring about n set
tlement. He went to Twin Lakes with
Judge Kerr and Senator Grove to see
Mr.. Campion. He there first learned
Of the agreement between the mine
managers. under which It took n ma.
jority of them TO take any action. He
did not 60 to Twin Lakes In an official
capacity. but ns citizen interested in
seeing termination of the trouble.
The meeting was fruitlcss OF results.
At all meetings. the terms proffered
were satisfactory TO only four or five
Of the managers.
Witness had heard of outragcs being
common and had had an Interview
with the officers of the Miners Union
in regard to them. They denied all
knowledge Of any outrages. hut wit.
ness warned them that they must obey
the laws. and whatever chance they
had for success would be jeopartiized
by any acts OF violence. The officers
assured him that they would try to in.
fiuencc their men to keep the peace.
When the complaints came OF armed
bodies of men around the city he again
sent for the officers of the union and
had n talk with them. They told him
they knew nothing OF these armed bod

T. M. Hanney. now manager of the
grocery department of the great
house OF Siegel, Cooper & Co., Chi
cago. was located in Java for nine
years. purchasing coffee for her
majesty's troops. and his ability to
judge of the quality and flavor Of
coffee will hardly be questioned.
Experts OF tea, coffee, tobacco and
whiskey are not always free users of
the article they Judge so keenly of.
indeed the reverse Is frequently true.
In Mr. Hanney's family Postum,
the health coffee made by the Postu m
Cereal company. limited, of Battle
Greek, Mich, is used in the place OF
coffee. the immediate cause being
that the wife had trouble in digest
ing coffee. aud Mr. H. knowing
that the grain beverage. which look 8
so much like coffee and which fits
the coffee drinkers taste. was a pure
and nourishiog drink. introduced it
TO his own family with the result
that the old ailments, which were
directly attributable to coffee drink
ing. have materially disappeared.
Proper adjustment OF food aud
drink means good bodies, clear minds
and the ability to push to the front
aud make q success of life, while
those who insist upon using such
dietary articles as they know check
digestion and impair the health,
will lag in the race for prosperity.
The law OF the survival of the fittest
is plainly marked.

generally when the languid ex-

liver is torpid and sluggish and the

A prompt use Of this medicine has
