KILLED HIS FRIEND
A Fool Barkeeper Plays With an Old
Revolver

STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. 31.-Word was
received here this afternoon of the ac-
cdental shooting of T. S. Gleason.
we'll known citizen, at Mokelumne HILL
The victim had been playing keno at
saloon and at 1880 last night ac-
companied by Constable Pelatin, Glea-
son went to the saloon of Bob Casey.
Everybody was talking about the
game of keno and during the conversa-
ton Gleason slapped down a ten-cent
piece on the counter and said: Il am
this much ahead of the game" The
constable followed suit with a similar
remark. The barkeeper Casey, then
playfully pointed an old rusty revolver
at Gleason and said: "Well, / am this
much ahead of the game" and few
minutes after the latter lay dead on the
floor The bullet penetrated his friends
forehead just above the nose. Casey is

STARTS THAT WAY
But This Article Is Not a Patent Medi-
cine Ad.


A certain grocer of Evanston, ILL.,, had
a curious experience lately, and one that
he will not readily forget. Mr.. =. III. Kles
of Ga Dempster street was compelled to
call in DR.. Dakn, well known physician
of Evanston, in order to find, If possible,
why he was becoming, day by day, more
dangerously i'll. and there seemed to be
no way to stop the progress of the trouble
He reached a point where it was critical
question whether he could recover or not,
when Dr. Dakin advised him that the
symptoms indicated that he was being
slowly poisoned by the use of coffee If
a bombshell had been exploded in Mr.. kles'
front room il would not have created any
more surprise and CONSERVATION.
Wiling to do anything the doctor ad-
vised in order to regain his health he
agreed to leave off common coffee and take
a cereal coffee. 1t seems that Mr.. kles
had on his shelves the original Postum
Cereal Coffee and four brands of imita-
tions of Postum. At the doctors sugges-
tion "a sample Of each was given him,
which were taken home for analysis.
After careful trial of each and thorough
analysis, the doctor recommended Postum
as the one cereal coffee that contained the
elements of nutrition needed, and there
upon Mr. Kles at once left off the use
of common coffee and took on Postum.
His return to health was rapid, and it
is needless to say the customers of that
grocery store frequently hear good word
from the grocer or his clerks in regard to
the famous Postum Food Coffee.
There are hundreds of cases somewhat
similar to this one. in which people have
been running down in health for varying
lengths of time and have been unable to
determine the cause of the trouble. II
is Il trouble that does not seem to yield
TO, icip or to rap fvoan 4 q
The true remedy for generally run down
condition is to abandon coffee drinking
and take on Postum Cereal Food Coffee
which goes directly to work to rebuild
broken down nerve tissues throughout the
human body.

SPAIN LESS MANIACAL.

fly Gable TO The Associated Press.l
MADRID, April S, lS9S.-A much calmer
feeling prevails here today, rejecting the
newspaper utterances and various pub
lished versions of the Cabinet meeting of
yesterday evening.
The statement published in London to
the effect that the United states Minister,
General Stewart L. Woodford, is to leave
Madrid on Sunday, is untrue. General
Woodford today reiterated his statement
that he would not leave until directed to
apply for his passports or Until they are
handed to him. The Minister added that
he had no intimation of his government
fixing a date for his leaving Madrid, and
it might be taken as a fact that no date
would be fixed upon until after President
Mekinley's message had been sent TO
Congress. as to leave the Spanish capital
before that would prejudice the whole
case.
The Ministers, at yesterdays Cabinet
Council, considered General Woodford's
withdrawal note, the collective action OF
the Powers. the wariike preparations and,
1t is alleged, something else which has
not yet transpired. The greatest CURIOSITY
is felt regarding this unknown subject,
but rigid silence is maintained regarding
it. 1t is supposed not to concern another
note from General Woodford. His COM
municatiqns yesterday were limited to
his withdrawal note. 1t is also said the
unknown subject Of d~eliberation was not
u Spanish note to the United States, as,
it is claimed, Spain is neither sending
nor intending TO send n Finally, 1T is
asserted that 1t was not the collective ac-
ton of the Powers which formed the 1myS-
FERROUS subject for elaboration.
Spain. at present, being, according to
the official point of view. Il spectator. and.
not an agent in the negotiations. it is
intimated hat he secre matter refers 0
something officially formulated by the
Pope.
The sImparcial' thinks the delay in the
presentation OF President McKinley's
message to Congress is a good sign. 1t
adds
but nobody is under any illusions res
pecting the American policy. If peaceful
prospects predominant. they do SO for rea-
sons beyond Yankee CONTROL
The impartial also says it considers
the action of the Powers in offering their
good offices as being favorable to Spain.
