MURDERED IN HIS HOME.
An Aged Citizen of WiIkesbarrs
Killed for His Money.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Jan. 1.-THE
police have been busy all afternoon ON
murder case which promises to prove one
of the most puzzling they have tackled. At
1 o'clock this afternoon Andrew Lindacher,
an old and well-to-do man. was found
murdered in his house. He lived aionc.
his wife having died year ago He owned
considerable property, and usually carried
large sums OF money about him. Last
night he played pinochle with some friends
until 10 O'Clock, and then started for home.
This morning Mrs. Edward Kear, a
neighbor, not seeing him about the house
as usual sent her husband at noon to see
what was the trouble. He found window
in the kitchen open, and climbing in, dis
covered the body on the floor. There were
several wounds over the left eye. and the
skull was crushed. The old man had
nothing but his undershirt on His knees
were very red and scratched, as If he had
knelt on the floor.
Upstairs in his bedroom his clothes were
found on the floor, and a chair had been
overturned, but otherwise there was no
evidence Of the murderers. They had, from
all appearances, gene to the old mans
room and taken the money from his
clothes. Then they had either dragged him
down stairs or he had followed them beg
ging for his money.
The police incline to the latter theory,
and believe the old man was struck on the
head and killed because he was making
such a noise that the burglar or burglars
feared he would arouse the neighborhood.
The wounds look as If they had been made
with a blackjack. Henry Lindaeher. Of
Avoca, his son, arrived this afternoon. He
said the old man carried a lot Of money
around with him. The police found none
in the house. \ brother John, lives in
New York, and also a married sister, wnoss
name is not known.

tract for carrying the mall on many nun
dreds of routes. Then he would send
agents about the country sub-letting these
routes in a way in which he could make
NEST money. He did not care to what
character of man the contract was sub
let or in what kind of conveyance the mail
was carried, or by what sort of an animal
the vehicle was drawn. The Postmaster
General should be vested he thought, wi h
authority to protect these sub-contTactors
from imposition by the contractors, and
should be empowered TO regulate the man.
ner in which the mails should be carried
on these star routes. SIR Lattimer of
South Carolina suggested that the con-
tracts should be let directly by the de-
partment to persons living on or near
the routes. Mr. Maddox would not assent
TO this, because the people on the routes
might fern a combine to hold UP the
department. Mr.. Cowherd. in the matter
of the sub-contractors, thought it would
be difficult for the United States Govern
ment to protect them from making bad
contracts. Mr.. Smith said here was
star route carrier in his dstric: who fur
nished his horse and wagon and travelled
thirty miles a day. and because OF mod
ifcations in this contract, and to which
he was compelled to submit, he could
make only about As cents a day.
Mr.. King objected to any increase in
salaries. He said the level of Govern
ment salaries was above the level pre-
vailinG in the Industrial world. Every
body understood this. hence the anxiety
of people to get into the Government
service.
Mr.. Smiths amendment was defeated,
is to 33.
Section 202, on the ninety-frst page, was
reached without material change, the
committee arose, and at 5:45 the House
adjourned

THE WAYFARING MAN.
Though FoGi Would Have to Draw
the Same Conclusion.

"Coffee soup was a common dish on
our table during my boynood. My family
were farmers and we used TO have early
breakfast, then lunch at 10 and at p.
m, beside the regular meals We always
had the coffee pot on the stove and 'cof-
fee soup was regular part OF each
meal.
II very well remember when eleven
years old, cverhearing my teacher say
of me- the most nervous child | ever
saw / was a constant sufferer with dys-
pepsia, sour stomach, and Indigestion in
its worst form, belching, etc. nally a
liver trouble came on and had three diff
ferent attacks of gall stones.
In addition to this | was q complete
nervous wreck, sleeping but very little
at night. was thin, sallow. and ex-
hausted, with a bilious complexion After
all these years of suffering, when l
reached the age of thirty. it gradually
dawned on me, three years ago, that | was
a coffee fiend and coffee wreck.
Some one told me TO quit coffee and
go to using Postum Food Coffee. l am a
professional man now, doing large
amount of mental work. within short
time after leaving off coffee and taking
Postum Food Coffee, l began to improve.
Now | am proud to say that the indiges-
tion and dyspepsia have disa appeared The
liver and stomach are sound. ! sleep like
a log and have gained thirty pounds in
flesh.
My spirits are at the top notch. l am
fresh. rugged, and rosy The old dull,
sallow complexion is gone by habits are
in every particular the +. me as in the
years before, except that | have aban-
doned the coffee habit for all time. Am l
not right in drawing the conclusion that
the wayfaring man, though a fool, would
have to draw. that the change is entirely
due to leaving of coffee and the use of
Postum Food Coffee?
Il have friend. Mr. Frank Furbush,
who was as bad wreck as /. with like
symptoms, plus excessive nausea and
vomiting. Six months OF no coffee and
the use OF Postum has put him right. He
is now as fresh as new born babe. His
