days work was begun with a cup of the strongest
coffee and ended in the same way GraduaIly the
physical ana mental machinery became clogced.

pressed condition of the system, turned his de-
nghtful occupation into dreary treadmilI
zone day his attention was brought to the fact
that the unsuspected coffee was very likely ths
cause of his trouble. and ii was suggested that ~
he would use Postum Food Coffee and induce the
good wife to be particular boil 1t long enough 10

go to rebuild the broken down nerve centers his
trouble would be gone
This was two years and a half ago and since
that time not pound of coffee has been purchased
by the minister's family. Morning, noon and night
Postum makes its appearance the table, and is
enjoyed by all. With the departure of coffee went
the minister's bad feelings, and with the coming
Of Postum, came feeling of exhilaration, better
appetite and constantly increasing weight.
From the start, the minister's Postum has been
properly made. because of the warning.
Eat one time during the absence of housewife
the domestic, not being particular about preparing
Postum according to directions, made 1t weak and
fnsipid, which We find is very common complaint
among those who do not understand that there is
no way to extract the delicious flavor from Postum
except by long boiling. Made properly IT is clear,
black and has crisp. pungent. fascinating taste
Occasionally the minister has been induced to drink

PENSION CLAIMS VOID.

Made Before Claimants Were Mus
tered Out-Recent Frauds.
The Department of the Interior has rem
dered a decision that a declaration for
pension executed prior to the date when
the right to pension accrued is null and
void 1t was found that large number
Of claims for disabilities incurred in the
war with Spain were being executed before
the claimants were mustered out of the
service. All such claims for pension are
void.
A man calling himself Robert Sherman,
who is now in the tolls at Toledo, Ohio,
charged with collecting money from appli-
cants for pension under the false represen-
tation that he is officer of the govern
ment of the United States, claimed to be a
brother-in-law of General Miles and COL
laterally related to the Sherman family of
Ohio. This man. 1t Is said, has been going
around the country duping the innocent
and when arraigned before the United States
commissioner at Toledo he stated that it
was not worth while to try to controvert
all the witnesses for the government. He
waived a preliminary hearing and was held
in default Of bond for the action of the
grand jury.

GOMEZ ON DECK AGAIN
Dissolution Of Cuban Assembly Brings Him
to Front.
He is AEitating the Cause of Cuban
Independence With All His
Old ArdOr.
A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The Cuban military assembly being dead,
Gen. Maxine Gomez will take up his pro-
gram Of solidfying the Cuban people into
a party that shall, without ceaSing, urge
the United States to withdraw from the
island. His purpose is to make the people
seem to have but Ole emotion, one desire
the thought of independence and of abso-
lutte separation from the United States.
Yesterday the Cuban general, Pedro Diaz
who commands in the province of Pinar
Gel Rio, invited several generals and bri-
gade commanders who are friendly to Co
mez to conference regarding the latters
future course. AS many who were invited
We're at some distance from Havana, and
could not arrive here in time for the meet
irs, there were only few actually pres
ent; but the possibility of reinstating Co
mez as commander-in-chief was informally
discussed, with the result that little or no
opposition to the proposal developed. In
order to get more general expression of
opinion it was decided to defer the formal
meeting until tomorrow morning. No other
candidate is possible, and If any such ac-
ton is attempted it will undoubtedly be
carried through.
Gen. Gomez, If reinstated would be of
greater service to the United States in the
disbursement of the 5000, 600; but his pO-
litical program means the keeping up of
agitation and disturbance in the minds of
the people and the weakening of American
authority by producing the impression that
everything done by the Americans is tenn
porary, and may sooner or later be over
turned.
American observers consider such agita-
ton as extremely harmful to the industrial
revival and the restoration of Cuban credit
Some who are high in authority, and who
have exceptional opportunities of knowing
the character and ideas of Gomez. think
the United States government may have
trouble with him yet. His attitude has al
ways been consistent regarding indepen-
dence for Cuba and he is still working for
the same end. His character is narrow
resolute arbitrary, eXacting, and likely to
make him a constant dSturber.
The national Cuban party and the Liga
Patriotica continue their campaigns for the
formation of the party of Cuban indepen-
dence. Efforts are now being made to eff
feet consolidation of the two movements
The principal difference between them
seems to be that one wishes ward repre-
SentatiVeS in national convention, to be
chosen according to the number of voters
in ward, while the other insists upon
three delegates for each ward, without re-
gard to the number of voters in it. The
committee of the national party had the
question of consolidation under considera-
ton last night, but decided that it had no
authority to act independently. The prob
ability is that a union will soon be effected
and that both organizations will then pro-
ceed upon the same lines throughout.

"FIoating Cotton" Not Illegal.

The interstate commerce commission
Wednesday, in an opinion by Commissioner
Prouty, decided the case against the Kan
sas City, Memphis and Birmingham Rail-
road Company and others, which mainly
involved the practice of floating cotton"
The commission finds that the essential
transportation feature is carrying the cot
ton to compress, receiving it again in the
compressed state, and transporting it TO
destination at the through rate in force
from the point of origin. The commission
holds that if the cotton starts and proceeds
upon a contract for through shipment as is
shown to be the fact in this case it NAV he
considered as a through shipment, and be
given the benefit of through rate The
Kansas City grain rata case is cited and

Followed the Hand

A young colored man named Frank Es-
pride, yesterday started out from home
with the intention of following the band to
Arlington. He tried to keep as near the
band as possible, and in doing so he totally
disregarded the rights of others and walk
ed over many people smaller than himself.
Policeman Phil Browne noticed his actions
and warned him that he might get into
trouble. Instead of needing the officer $
advice, he got nearer to the band and one
of the musicians was forced out of his posi-
ton in the line. Franks arrest resulted
and today Judge Kimball fined him $40
with the alternative of spending thirty
days on the farm.
