BREAKFAST ON DRINK.
Ooffee Makes ManY Dyepeptics.

Coffee and I had quite a tussIe. Two
years ago was advised by the doctor
to quit the use of coffee, for I had a
chronic case of dyspepsia and serious
nervous troubles, which did not yield
to treatment. I was so addicted to cof-

quit, but when I was put on Postum

GOMPERS FOR TRUSTS.
Takes Strong Grounds Against
Legislative Interference.

New York, Oct. 1O--A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Following close upon the declarations
of labor leaders before the industrial
commission in favor of trusts, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, has written an
editorial for the current number of the
official organ of the federation which
may have an important effect in tend
suming Importance as a, political issue.
Mr. GomperS takes strong ground
against any antitrust legislation in
any form He says he is convinced that
the government is not capable of pre-
venting the legitimate development of
natural concentration of industry and
that all the propositions to do so which
have come under his observation would
beyond doubt react with greater force
and injury upon the working people of
the countrX than the trusts.

Bantar1 Weight Champion Quickly
Knocks Out Billy Rotchford.

Chicago, Oct. 1O-It took Terry Nc

about one minute to decide last nights
encounter with Billy Rotchford of Chi
cago at TattersalPs. The men were
scheduled to go six rounds, but Nc
Govern went at Rotchford in much the
same way he attacked Pedlar Palmer
month ago in New York and the result
was about the same. He put his man
to sleep before the crowd had fairly
settled back to watch the sport.
The contest was utterly one sided.
McGovern went at his man fiercely and
RotchfOrd was soon helpless and grOggy-
He tried vainIy to save himself by
clinching, but NcGovern did the same
terrific work at close range he did
against Palmer, with the result that
the Chicago man was laid low at the
end of one minutes fighting.

ROOM FOR LAWTON
And Macarthur to be Made by Shat
ter's Retirement.

New York, Oct. 10.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington, says:
The retirement of General Shafter
from the regular army October 16,
promises to lead to the promotion and
retirement Of at least five colonels as
brigadier generals and to open the way
for the president to recognize the con-
spicuous achievements of two staff col
oneIs, Lawton and Macarthur, by MAX
ing them general officers Of the line.
General Shafter will reach the compul-
sorry retirement age of "a on October 16,
but 1t is agreed that he Will be con-
tinued in command of the department
of California with his present volunteer
rank as major general until all the vol
unteerS have returned from Manila for
muster out and until the last of the new
infantry regiments have started across
the Pacific. There is strong hope at
headquarters that congress will not ig-
more Skaters services at Santiago and
San Francisco, and that he will be re-
tired by special act at least as major
general. The president is said to con-
template recommending such action by
congress at any rate.
For the vacancy caused by Skaters
retirement from the regular service it
is expected that the following cOlOnelS
will be successfully promoted to the
rank of brigadier general and immed-
lately retired:
Colonel Louis H. Carpenter. Fifth
cavalry; Colonel Royal L. Frank, First
artillery; Colonel Alexander G. NJ. Pen
nington, Second artillery; Colonel An
drew S. Burt, Twenty fifth infantry;
Colonel Samuel Ovenshine, Twenty
third infantry.
These officers are all entitled to re-
tire on their own application on ac-
count of age or long service at the
present time. Colonel Carpenter has
had thirty-eight years service and was
sixty years old last January. Colonel
Frank has had fOrty-five years ser
vice and will be sixty-four next May.
Colonel Pennington will be sixty-twO in
January, and has had fOrty-four years
service. Colonel Burt is sixty next
month, and has served thirty-eight
years, while Colonel Ovenshine with
the same service is only ffty-six years
old
When these five officers are retired
the vacancy as brigadier general is to
go either to Macarthur or LaWton, with
the chances in favor of the latter. It
makes little difference which goes up
first, as the plan is to promote the other
on January q, next, when General
Thomas NJ. Anderson retires for age.
Mac Arthur has had slightly longer ser
vice than Lawton, but the latter at
tanned his majority first and in the reg
ular establishment LawtOn is a colonel
in the inspector generals department.
while Macarthur is lieutenant colonel
in the adjutant generals corps.

in the election of Governor Roosevelt.
Geo. Q. Holt, named for supreme
court, w. J. O'Brien, named for sheriff,
have been nominated for these offices
by the Independent labor party.
The ticket agreed upon will be recon-
mended to the Republican convention
as well as to the City club for ratifi-

sition will be manifested in the City
club because Mr. HOlt's name was sub
a favorite among the members of the

The British and German governments

of the actual bOmbardments, the claims
are coming in, in surprising numbers.
