MRS. NATION TALKS.
Temperance Crusader, Enroute
to Hope, Explains Her Plans.

Kansas City, Jan 25.-A special to the
Star from Hope, Kan, says
On the train en- route from Enter
prise to Hope last night Mrs. Nation
talked enthusiastically to a reporter. A
crowd of w. G. t. u. women, among
them Mrs Hoffman, the local worker
yesterdays street fight, saw her off at
the depot Good bye, Mrs HOFFMAN,
she cried, as the train started Keep
up the good work; don't let them open
the rum holes again.
She sat down alone in the coach and
began examining her dress smeared
with eggs. II always thank God for the
favorsH does" she said to the reporter.
and when asked what feature of the
demonstration she was thankful for,
responded promptly that the eggs were
not rotten
Mrs Nation began to talk and laugh
as gaily as If nothing had happened
She had been cool and collected during
all Of her exciting experiences, both at
Wichita and Enterprise, always meet
ing the sallies of the crowd that hooted
her or -pelted her with stones, with a
prayer or an exhortation on temperance
Aren't you afraid the reporter
mo, sir. not a bit" she snapped de-
family. I'm doing Gods work"
Her GOODNESS seemed more remarkable
because of the fact that she had been
given warning that mob awaited her
arrival at Hope.
you'll surely met with serious mis-
hap. perhaps be killed, if you keep this
up" continued the reporter.
III know it; I know how it will end.
But when God is ready for me to die,
I'm ready to go. / don't want to die
yet; there is too much good work for me
to do
Mrs. Nation went on to talk of her
mission. We've been watching our sons
go to ruin and death through whisky
for years We've been praying and
waiting for the laws to be enforced and
the traffic stopped. We've decided to
wait no longer for men to act. IF the
w. c. T. u. had started out twenty
five years ago with prayers and songs
and hatchets there would not be a sa-
loon in the country today. A saloon
keeper TO me is the same as the man
who cuts another's throat for his

but he tired of this and went to Paris to

reports from Paris told Of great successes

that he exhibited ability IN getting ac-

that the ease with which he placed him

GRIMES IS THE MAN.
State Treasurer Will Be Sena-
tor BurtOn's Secretary.

The report that Frank Grimes will az
cept the position of private SECRETARY 70
J. r.. Burton, which was circulated this
morning, is not given great deal OF
credence by the politicians, but never
theless it is undoubtedly true. They say
that while Burton would probably give
Grimes any place in his power that the
position of private secretary is not high
enough to suit him, but Mr. Grimes 81
lence amounts to a virtual admission of
the truth of the rumor.
Mr. Grimes said this morning that he
would neither deny nor affirm the re-
port. When he was closely pressed he
said: you want me to say the position
has been offered me and that I will OF
the question either way without inJuring
myself and possibly Mr.. Burton You
know there are lots of things to be COLI
sidered In talking about such things
THE position is an honorable one and
the man who gets it viii be the closest
to Mr.. Burton, but have never said
that I would take the place. I have
never told any one that I would''-but
he would not deny that he would take
Burton and Grimes have been the
closest OF political friends for years ard
anything that Burton would do for
Grimes would not surprise the polite
ians. Those who are of the opinion that
Grimes will take the place say that
Burton wants Grimes with him in order
that he may keep up the machine for six
years so lnaL 6urtOu VIII De sure 10
succeed himself. As private secretary.
Grimes would be in close touch with
both Burton and the machine and could
handle Burton's political affairs much
better than if he was in Kansas holding
some local Office.
If Mr. Grimes takes the place he will
resign next winter before the session of
congress and his successor will be ap
pointed for the unexpired term of one
year. Those who say that Grimes will
take the position under Burton also say
that Assistant State Treasurer Kelly
will be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Grimes now receives a salary of So, SEQ
and the position OF private secretary
pays 81, 900. While the salary of private
secretary is less than that of the state
treasurer it is good for four years longer
term which more than makes the diff
ference in pay.

STURDY BLAcKsmITHs
Learn Facts About Coffee.

Two bIacksmiths Of Northampton,
Mass, Messrs Thayer and McGrath
both discovered that coffee was the
cause of heartburn and sour stomach
continually troubling them in spite OF
active exercise.
They left Off the coffee and began tax

disappeared at once, and both men ara
now enthusiastic over Postum.
If powerful men like blacksmiths are
affected by the drugs contained in ordi-

brain workers to try to Withstand the
effects of it.
Hiram Day, a. man seventy-five years
old, also Of Northampton, had used cot

oped serious bilious troubles. A few
months ago he left off coffee and began
using Postum Food Coffee He has re-

Mass. a pencil manufacturer, was trou-
bled with dyspepsia and kidney disor-

place He says he has never been as

Generally there is very little doubt that

fall at least 90 per cent. below those Of
