The Advice of Many Temperance
Workers

Many times while l was an active
worker in the w. c. T. U. and was
urging men to give up drinking,
would feel ashamed of my own slavery
to coffee.
Many times I would determine to give
it up, but it had such mastery over
me that I became sick and distressed
and would return to it, which is ex-
actly the way with any stimulant like
coffee or whisky, and it marks such an
article as stimulant and such an in
diVidual as slave thereto.

at the stomach dizziness in the head,
and cross and fretful mornings. About
six months ago l began to use Postum
Cereal Food Coffee and I have not had
a sick spell since, no dizziness and 1

Christian ought to feel. 1 am greatly

ting us from Columbia. Ga, was served
with nice hot cup at breakfast, with
out being told that it was Postum Food
Coffee. After breakfast l asked him
how he liked our coffee. He said he
he had ever drunk. for it had a little
peculiar taste that fitted his palate per-
fectly. He wanted to know what brand
we used and ] told him it was Postum
Food Coffee, no berry coffee at all. He
could not be persuaded that 1 was not
teasing him until 1 got the package
and showed him all about it. He
bought quite a little to take home to
his family.
You may depend upon it that the cup
he had was well made and [ am very
particular to know that Postum is
boiled. for that is a thing that coffee
users have to learn They cannot make
Postum by a, little simmering, as they
formerly made coffee. You can always
tell whether it has been boiled long
enough by the taste. If it is rich,
strong and good, it has had boiling
enough to bring the taste out. If it is
not, it had only been on the stove a
short time.
My next door neighbor, Mrs. Sweet,
had to give up coffee and is now using
Postum She and all her family are
delighted with it. The family of Rev.

at their table and use Postum and are
enthusiastic in its praise. Mrs. J. Nor

PLATT's STORY OF SHERMAN.
Illustrative of the Failing Memory of
the Grand Old Man.
New York Pre-

New York Press.
When the false report of Mr.. Sher-
mans death was printed in the after
noon papers ON March II, Senator For
alSer of Ohio and Senator Thomas C..
Plat were at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
and discussed it with a group of news
paper men. Both senators spoke of the
ex-Secretary's failing memory and his
apparent loss of mental vigor, which
had been commented upon in Wash
ington even before he left the depart
ment of state.
For years previously he and Senator
Platt had not spoken when they met,
though the two ancient enemies
occasionally exchanged compliments
through the newspapers. Both Senator
Platt and Senator Foraker spoke with
feeling of the Ohio statesman's many
and important services to the Repub-
lican party. and then Senator Plat,
who believed fully with the rest of the
country at that hour that the ex-sec-
rotary was dead, told the story of his
last meeting with him.
Senator Pratt was at a private dinner
party in the Arlington, in Washington,
and the seat next to him was vacant,
one of the guests having been detained.
Before the soup was served, the door
was opened, and ex-Secretary Sherman
walked in and sat down in the only
vacant place, which was next to Mr.
Platt. He had accepted an invitation
to dine with another party in the hotel,
and had been shown into the wrong
room.
After minute or two ne turned to
Mr.. Platt and said, politely:
II beg your pardon, but will ycu tell
me your name?"
Il am Mr.. Platt," replied the senator,
who saw that there was no recognition
in the once brilliant eyes of John Sher-
man.
"Oh, yes" murmured the ex-secre-
tary. He was making talk" after the
manner of a man who recognizes his
obligation as guest to do his share in
removing any trace of stiffness around
hosts table. Have you been in
Washington long?" he inquired.
I've been here for several days"
said Senator Platt.
There was pause. Then the ex-sec-
rotary asked:
care you in congress?" The senator

The Warrant Served.

The warrant charging William Nor
gan with the murder of Thomas San
dali was formally served upon him last
evening in the sheriff's Office. Morgan
was very indignant, denounced his ar
rest as an outrage, and asked that At
torney A. ]. Weber be sent for TO
represent him. He will be kept in the
jail at Ogden, as the jail in Pennington
is thought to be too small to contine
both him and Morris without allowing
them to communicate with each other.
Morgan still sticks to his story in every
detail. He was visited yesterday by
his wife and the wife of his partner,
Morris. None of the officers believe him
guilty, though some of them believe he
knows something about the affair.

MORRIS Is NOT THE MAN
OFFICERS TRYING TO UNRAvEL
THE LAYTON MYSTERY.
Partner of the Ogden Prisoner May
Have Purchased the Shells-Both
Men Will Be Held.
(speclal Correspondence.2


Kaysviile April l-Samuel G. Layton
young men who saw and conversed with
the stranger VINO purchased shotgun
shells the day before the Layton trag-
edy, returned from Ogden at an early
hour this morning, having failed to
Identify the prisoner, Morgan, as the
man, and today they went to Farming
ton and visited the cell of William Nor
Iis, who is confined in the county jail
as a suspect. The object OF the visit
was to see if Morris IS the man that is
wanted, but after a few minutes hs.
been spent in the Jail, both Mr.. Layton
and Mr.. Burton positively said he was
not the man. Morris is lame; the other
man is not. In complexion they are
totally unlike each other, and Morris
is quite a little shorter than the man
that is wanted.
The only way in which Morris can
be connected with the crime is because
of his having been seen, with Morgan,
who was arrested in Ogden, in the near
vicinity of the Farmers Union store on
Tuesday. They We're encamped a short
distance in the rear Of the store, and
might thus have planned the JOB.
Whether they committed the deed per
sonally or were accessories remains to
be proven. Both men Will be held for
the present, al any rate.
1t is now pretty definitely known that
two men were implicated in the muir
der. Henry Williams, who resides in
Syracuse, attended a lecture in Kays-
vile Tuesday evening, and about IL
O'Clock that night had to pass the
Farmers Union store on his way home.
When he reached a point about 100
yards west OF the store his horse SHE'D,
and he saw two men standing near the
fence on the side Of the road. The
night was dark and he is totally unable
to give a. description of the men, but it
/. is quite probable that they We're the
guilty ones, as the murder must have
been committed shortly after that time.
County Attorney William H. Streeper,
jr., went 10 Ogden this morning TO take
the necessary Steps in bringing VIII
liam Morgan down to Pennington. This
afternoon Deputy Sheriff Nader also
went to Ogden. The prisoner Will prob
ably be landed in the Davis county jail
tonight.
The failure to identify Morgan as the
man seen here on Tuesday is regarded
as very singular. When c. Burton, jr..
described the man he saw to E. A.
Franks, the detective is said to have
exclaimed: why, that's Billy Nor
gan It's. as good a description Of him
as could give myself And yet, when
Morgan was shown 10 Mr.. Burton the
latter at once said he was not the man.
The day has been unfruitful of re-
suits in the search for fresh clues.
