CAUSE UNKNowN

Finally Found to Lie in the Coffee.

ant experience with coffee drinking.
husband and /. / have been great
sufferer for several years with indiges-
ton and heart trouble, and did not
know the cause Of It until I finally
came to the conclusion that It was the
use OF coffee. So we abandoned the
coffee and took up Postum Cereal Food
COffee, which / had seen advertised in
the daily papers.
"sInce using It, have, to my great
surprise, improved wonderfully. Hus-
band has gained II pounds IN two
months since he left on coffee and be-
gan the use Of Postum. He sleeps
soundly at night now, which he does
not remember having done for several
years before on account OF nervous
ness. It Is remarkable that people go
on In I'll health and do not discover the
cause Of the trouble.
You may depend upon It we know
how to make Postum good, and that Is
easy, II one will use sufficient amount
and boil 1t long enough. It is really an
elegant and delicious drink. / don't

THAT SUNDAY
NIGHT SEANCE
A SENSATION.
The Inte1ligenosrs Informants Stick
to Their Story Of What Tran.
spired There.
THE "FIOATNG HORN" CLAIM
Is Denounced as Utterly Untrue by
the give" All Of Whom Are
Reputable Men.

The expose of the FRAUDULENT practices
of spiritua,istic Medium Stephens mot
Stevenson, as enormously repOrted) In
yesterdays 1ntelllgencer was the prin-
cipal topic OF conversation about town
yesterday In this column Mrs. s.
s. Brown. at whose home the seance
was held, takes exception to statements
made in this paper.
The Ave doubling ones, when seen
last night, united in the statement that
the Intelllgencer's story was true from
beginning TO end, with the single ex-
ceptlon that the medium was not stand
ing IN the center Of the circle when the
electric lamp was flashed upon him.
Instead he was sitting, with the horn
or megaphone at his mouth. and in his
amusement he arose and dropped the
horn when the light flashed forth. The
claim that the horn was floating" near
the ceiling is denounced by the gentle-
men as utterly without foundation.
The exposers Of the fraud also state
that the claim that they were not about
to be attacked by one OF the spIritual-
lists is untrue. The one who advanced
upon them "a large man weighing about
$50 pounds) did not get up to turn on
the gas; on the contrary he passed tina
gas Jet and came straight at the man
with the lamp and demanded that It be
handed over to him. The man with the
lamp refused to do this, at the same
time showing a policeman's billy" into
the mans face. Then they demanded
to be shown the way out Of the place.
and say they compelled the man to go
before them. The five say they are sure
they would have suffered bodily injury
had the lamp been taken from them.
Medium Stephens. 1t is learned, is a
skilful ventriloqulst.
The gentlemen who Joined in the ex-
pose OF the medium" are all reputable
men, well known throughout the city.

WILK1NsoN's SUMMARY.

London, April 14.-spencer Wilkin'
son, discussing the military situation
In tho Morning Post says:
"The objective Of the 5000 Beers
south Of Dswetsdorp is either Col. Dsl-
gstty's forcs, the bridge at Bethulie or
the country south Of the Orange river.
Whatever its object Lord Roberts has
apparently checked 1t, and IL so, the
equipment and reorganization of the
British force can proceed uninterrupt-
cd and the new campaign will Ohortly
begin on the initiative Of Lord Rob-

Beautiful Photograph Frames,


Photograph frames grow more aud
more beautiful each season, and moth
ing seems too fantastic as material for
them. Those of rich old-time bro
cade are particularly pretty aad make
the artistic modern photographs look
like lovely old miniatures. Turquoise
blue and bright-green enamelled wood,
trimmed with silver or gold, are very
effective, as are also some of Algerian
onyx, with fancy gilt rims, decorated
with Louis XIV bows. Folding pho
tograph cases in crushed morocco,
fooled gold or ornamented with raised
gold decoration after the Empire style,
are charming. In royal blue leather,
sooled with gold, are frames in all
sorts Of odd shapes and. sizes; they
are adorned by enamelled heads,
Seyres blue crushed morocco, scrolled
with silver and mixed with turquoises,
makes beautiful frames, and fretted
gold with the new red finish forms
charming frames for little three-l -leaved
acreens, in each leaf of which small
photograph may be inserted.
Bright red mahogany, inserted with
dark silk, both silk and wood orna-
n'ented with gold tooling, are very
handsome. Ruby and emerald velvet
frames studded with steel are revivals
OF an old-time fashion. Odd little
showcases in mahogany and gilt, 10
Empire, are to- stand on a table, as
th5y are only large enough to contain
some precious miniature or one OF two
small valuables, and are, therefore,
fttal with small lock and key.

Store and Other Property Burned

Wsggsman, Texas. Fire Thurs.
day night burned property valued at
some $4,000 and threw this little
town into a fever of excitement. About
9:30 O'Clock flames were discovered in
the building occupied by J. s. Brady
and Company as general store. The
smoke aroused Mrs Brady, who oocu-
pied the house adjoining, and she gave
the alarm. Frank Barker, the clerk
in the Brady store, went to Mrs. Bra.
dy'e assistance, and discovered a can
Of live Goals in front Of the door at the
main entrance to the store. The Bra.
dy store and residence were burned, be.
sides several other buildings, including
the courthouse.

Restoring Polish of Furniture.

Many will be glad to know how the
fine original polish of furniture may
be restored, especially in the case of
such articles as pianos, fancy tables,
etc, which become tarnished by use.
Make a polish by putting half an
ounce of shellac, the same quantity
Of gumlac and a quarter of an
ounce of gum sandarae into pint Of
spirits Of wine Put them all together
in stone bottle near the fire, shaking
it very often. AS soon. rs the gums
are dissolved it is ready for use. Now
make a roller Of woolen rags, put a
alittle of polish on it, and also few
drops of ,linseed oil; rub the surface
to be polished with this, going around
and around over small space at q
time until it begins to he quite smooth.
Then finish by second rubbing with
spirits of wine and more of the polish,
and your furniture will have brilliant
lustre equal to new. New York Jour-

Another Mine Horror.

Pittsburg, PA number Of miners
variously estimated from two to Six-
teen are imprisoned in the No. 8 mine
at Hazletlne station, behind wall Of
fame and smoke. They were caught
Friday by the fire and all Friday night
men fought the flames and women
waited in helpless agony about the pit
mouth. State Mine Inspector James
Biloxi, Of lakewood, is on the scene, and
has very little hope that any Of the
men will ever come out OF the mine
alive.
The smoke and gas has probably
done their deadly work ere now.
