zone of my former classmates, Mrs.
E. Kinsley of Westfeld, Mass, seemed
greatly surprised that had never used
Postum. The family were very en-
thusiastic over its effect upon them.
Said they could not enjoy life without
it The physician had recommended
total abstinence from coffee, as she had
injured her digestive organs by using
it, and was considered a confirmed and
incurable dyspeptic. but when put up
on Postum Cereal Food Coffee, she i'm
mediately began to get well, and left
off the drugs and the coffee. Now she
is able to eat anything she likes with
out the least symptom of disease. Her
life before had been one of suffering,
and it is now one of enjoyment. She
said it would be impossible to speak too
highly in its praise.
when was in Westf1eld eight years
ago, I visited Mr.. Albert Atkins, who
was then a very great sufferer Both
he and his friends did not think it possi-
BILE for him to live more than a short
time. I found him so well on this visit
that I insisted upon knowing what
made the change. He said he had Wis
tied every point of the compass, and
tried almost everything he had ever
heard recommended, but all of no avail,
until he was led by the Postum Cereal
articles to suspect that the little coffee
he drank was really poisoning him day
by day, and from the very time that he
quit coffee entirely and began to use
Postum. he began to get better. He is
a very healthy man and travels a great
deal, but says he never leaves home for
one night without his outfit of Postum.
while at Jamaica Plains, Miss,
visited a retired sea captains home
He said in all his experience, far and
near, on land or water, he had never
found any beverage that would COM
pare with Postum Cereal Food Coffee
While he used to drink coffee he suffer-
ed with headaches, drowsiness and an
unnatural thickening of the blood, but
since quitting the common coffee and
using Postum, he was free from all his
ailments. I drank my first cup of Pos
tum during my visit in the east. 1t is
sufficient to say that Postum has a very
firm foothold with my eastern friends.
Il wish to add that on one or two oc-
casions I have had Postum served to
me rather fiat, but always know in such
cases that it is simply because it has
not been allowed to boil long enough
to bring out the delicate and well known
flavor"

M. K. st. IN TROUBLE
Over the Discharge of Three
Freight Conductors. y

st. Louis, Oct. 1s.-Because of the dis
charge of three freight conductors run
ming out of Parsons, Kas., the Fedora
ton of American Railway Employees
and the NJ. K. & T. railroad will lock
horns in St. Louis. Each side declares
there will be no surrender and in the
event compromise fails there may be
general strike called, extending the en-
tire length and breadth of the railway
system.
Assistant Grand Chief A. B. Garret-
son, Order of Railway Conductors has
been in st. Louis since September 20,
comforting with the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas officials. He has been unable to
effect a settlement of the grievance in
question, which was referred to the ex-
ecutive board of the organization by the
local union at Parsons, Kas. For this
reason appeal was made to a higher
power, the Federation of American Rail
way Employees.
The federation as an organization
went into effect April I, 1898.
Heads of the great railway organiza-
tions arrived last night at st. Louis ho-
tells to attend the conference. It is un-
derstoOd that the three conductors were

AN ARMY OF 40, 600
Hastily Concentrated at Port
Arthur by Russia.

London, Oct. 18.-The Odessa cores
pondent of the Standard says that Rus
sia hastily concentrated 10000 men at
Port Arthur to be in readiness for any
emergency at Pekin.
Three thousand additional workmen
have been ordered to that place to rush
forward immense fortifcation plans
which would render Port Arthur secure
from a combined naval and land attack
of the strongest powers.
The two principal forts are on either

from Port Arthur. Eight 12-inch Canet
guns in each fort will have a range of
thirteen miles. The secondary batter

firing guns in steel easements fifteen
inches thick in front and five inches
thick on the sides and roof. The 12-iuch
guns are being mounted in independent
turretS of sixteen inch armOr.
The forts will have five gigantic
search lights and two torpedo stations,
each having three eighteen inch tubes.
A third immense fort three miles to the
rear of Port Arthur will mount twelve
12-inch guns and ffty-two 4-inch guns.

$4,000 FOR A HORSE.
William C. Whitney Will Breed
Racers.

New York, Oct 18.-The purchase of
the great stallion Meddler. by VIM. c.
Whitney for S49, 600, calls attention to
the plans for breeding horses. In an
interview Mr.. Whitney said:
The purchase of Meddler means that
we shall breed horses as well as race
them 1 at first thought that we should
not breed at all But some time ago
decided to raise horses.
I'VE do not propose going into breed
ing upon a large scale. We shall have
about 20 brood mares. already have
purchased four, Tulla Blackburne, who
was a great race horse; Madame Reel,
Helen Mar and another. Meddler will
be the head of the stud for the present.
We shall race Jean Bereaud for a
couple of years longer and then we shall
very likely retire him and Plaudit as
well.
"Of course, we shall try to maintain
a high standard for our stable and we
shall want to win some races. If we
can not win them with the horses we
breed ourselves we shall continue to
buy them. I suspect that we shall buy
a good many of our winners If we have
any.
much of Meddler. He never ran in but
three races which he won and he was
admittedly the best 2-year-Old in Eng
land. But the death of his owner cut
short his racing career. He has been in
the stud ever since. I did not think
he was the best stallion in America.
thought that Hanover was such a high
class horse that it would be difficult to
find a better
when saw Meddler I changed my
mind. I think that he is the handsOmest
horse that ever saw. He looks like
a racer. He is very highly bred on the
dams side. His dam, grand dam and
great grand dam won the Oaks success
siVely.
I'VE shall breed the horses here on
my Long Island farm. It is better
adapted for the purpose than my Lenox
farm. I have a place in Aiken, S. C.,
and we shall winter the horses there. I
think that high bred horses are like
men and women-they enjoy being out
of doors as much as possible; they like
sunlight and the change of scene and
air. When we go SCUM we shall take
the horses with US. I do not cQntem-
plate buying another farm in the south
for breeding purposes. I may decide to
do so later. 1t depends upon how
things turn out. 1 want to have my
horses where I am. so that I can see
them grow under my eyes"

WINS A MILLION.
An Aged Woman Gets a Fortune
Through the Courts.

st. Louis, Oct 1S-The Missouri su-
preme court today handed down it's de-
cision in the case of Adair VS.. Matte,
affirming the judgment of the ST. Louis
circuit court Behind this simple an
nOuncement is the story of a widow
who married a second time and sought
to disinherit her daughter. The daugh-
ter has lived in poverty for years and
now bids fair to become the owner of
100000 worth of property situated in
this city.
In 1889 Mrs. Mary Jones, a widow with
one child, Elizabeth, possessed a snug
fortune left her by her deceased hus-
band. She consulted with a friend,
Thomas J. Payne, a land SpeculatOr, re-
garding the property and later married
him. Before the marriage she signed
an agreement that all interest in her es-
tate should go to her children by her
second husband at her death and none
to her daughter by her first husband.
The marriage followed and in 1853 Mrs.
Payne died. Payne at once took formal
possession Of the property and heId AZ
in trust for his several children.
Meanwhile Elizabeth had married r.
Adair of Sullivan, Mo. Her husband died
leaving her in Strengthened circumstan-
establish her title to her mothers pro-
perty. The case decided today,and from
which there is no further appeal, was
one of several dIed five years ago by
Mr. Bunch. The defendant in the case
is Louis Matte of this city, who claim
ed title to the property situated at
Eighth street and Geyer avenue.
This decision in all probability means
that Mrs Adair, who is now an aged
woman, may yet live to be millionaire.
Besides the property at Eighth street
and Geyer avenue, valued at $4,000,
there are other tracts, for the posses
sion of which suits are now pending.
In all the property is now estimated
to be worth $1,O0O,OOO.

ATROCIOUs CRUELTY.
reported to Have Been Practiced
Toward Child.


The ladies Of the Relief Corps are
looking after one of the most atrocious
cases of cruelty to a child that has
ever been known in the city.
family by the name of Kennady
moved here from Missouri about three
years ago. The family consisted of the
father, mother, three sons and an
adopted daughter by the name of
Blanch. The family moved onto a small
farm three miles southeast of Topeka
and a year ago the mother died and
left the 4-year-old child to the care of
the father and three brothers. The child
is bright and attractive and has been
known by Police Matron Thorpe for
two years.
Last week, so the story goes, q, family
living in Oakland went out to the Ken
nady farm and found the child being
treated to whisky by the men. The mat
ter was reported to Mrs. Thorpe and as
the case was outside the city limits she
called the attention of the Relief Corps
to it. Before her death Mrs. Kennady
was a member of the Relief Corps.
An investigation followed and it was
found that the child was forced to drink
whisky with the men and that she had
been repeatedly horse whipped. The
neighbors are all afraid to go near the
house and the child has been living
alone with the men since the death of
her mother.
The Relief Corps has consulted with
Judge Dolman and something will be
done.

M 'KINLEY is ANXIOUS.
Political Reports Along His
Route Have Not Been
Encouraging.

Chicago. Oct. 1S.-WilIiam z. Curtis,
who has accompanied the president on
his western trip, says in the Chicago
Record:
During his journey President Nc
Kinley has not received encouraging re-
ports from the campaign. Every poll
tician with whom he has talked along
the way has lamented the apathy of the
Republicans, and imagine that he
must be getting a little nervous regard
ing the complexion of the next house Of
representatives. He would deplOre
Democratic victory because of it's effect
upon the Spanish government and the
negotiations now in progress at Paris.
Peace is not yet made. The treaty Will
not be signed for several weeks, and
may be delayed for months, perhaps,
Indefinitely, if the November elections
should deprive the administration of the
support of a majority in the house of
representatives. Should such an event
occur in European country the gov
ernment would be compelled to resign
office and a new cabinet, representing
a new policy and different priHS4oleS,
would assume power.
That would be the case in Spain, and
therefore the Spanish people would re-
gard a Democratic victory in the United
States as a rebuke to the president and
a reputation of his conduct of the war.
The immediate effect would be to stln-
ulate the resistance of the Spanish com
sioners to the demands of the United
States, if it did not cause them to be
rejected altogether. The result in Cuba
would be the same, and very serious
complications might follow.
Realizing this, the president Of course
Is extremely anxious to have the people
express at the polls their appreciation
of his official acts and send men to con-
gress who will sustain his policy.

They asked to be discharged, and
when Judge Wofford looked over the
indictments, he said:
Gentlemen, you will not be dis
charged. I see in public print that a
certain man named Lowe has stated he
spent 81 500 fixing and bribing juries in
the Kennedy case. I don't know what
case he means, as Kennedy had two
trials. But 1 do know you must go to
the bottom of it.
IF Lowe is telling the truth he must
be made to tell who got the money. He
is within the Jurisdiction of the court
he is within your jurisdiction, and
tell you he must tell all he knows.
Jury fixing is a serious crime, the
most damnable and dangerous a man
can commit 1t perverts the very foun-

a mockery. If it has been committed
here, we are going to know it, and the
guilty man is going to be punished"
