INSANITY FROM COFFEE.
A St. Paul, Mimi. Woman Insane from
Hts Use.

A ST. Paul, Mimi. Woman Insane from
It's Use.
A Mrs, Lindberg OF ST. Paul, Mimi,
was recently adjudged by a probate
court TO be insane. On investigation
she was found at her home in a state
of manical excitement so great that
she could only with difficulty be re-
strained from tearing off her clothing.
According TO her husbands statement
and the facts which were elected by
the investigation. IL appeared that the
cause Of Mrs. Lindberg's insanity was
the use of coffee Mrs. Lindberg had
for some years been accustomed to the
free use Of coffee for the relief of
headache. The headaches had greatly
increased in severity. and the amount
Of coffee was gradually increased. Re-
Gently she had been taking thirty or
forty cups OF coffee daily. Tea pro-
duces the same effect as coffee. Nu-
merous other cases have been reported
in which a complete breaking down
of the nervous system has resulted
from the use of tea or coffee. Tea
tasters and coffee-tasters furnish many
illustrations Of the deleterious effect
of these beverages. Mrs. Lindberg
was simply coffee drunkard, and was
as much addicted to her beverage as
any topper was ever addicted to liquor.
She kept her coffee-pot boiling con-
tinually. and devoted her whole atten-
ton TO the brewing of her favorite
beverage

TCMORROW'S BIG EDITION.

AS announced in the news columns of
the Inter Mountain this afternoon the
message of President Roosevelt will not
be delivered to congress until tomorrow.
Until that time no hint can be given of
what the document contains. Congress
assembled today under the sha low of a
national calamity. The death of Presi-
dent Mckinley is still fresh in the minds
of all and during the months which have
gone by since he was sent to his death
by an assassin's bullet the public
grieving at his untimely end has not
entirely ceased. So today's business in
house and senate was as brief as 1t was
possible to make it. Out Of respect to
the memory of the dead president formal
adjournment will be taken until tomor-
row.
Tomorrow afternoon the Inter Noun
tain will send out to the people of Mon
tana the message of President ROose-
welt in full. In a separate section of
the daily edition the first message OF
the new president will be printed in
attractive form. divided under appro-
pirate headings with the most important
parts suitably displayed. Tomorrow

be revived again and carried to its final
passage.
1t is generally the legislation in which
the West is most interested that suffers
from the obstructionist. There are meas
ures on the program of the present con-
gress which are shining marks toward
which congressman and senators may
discharge their spiteful ammunition.
With party lines traced with precision
there will be less of this sort of guerrilla
warfare in political controversy. 1t will
be a matter for congratulation if the
legislation in which the West is so great
ly interested is enabled to sail through
the present session in comparatively
placid waters, escaping the attacks of
members who have a grudge against
every measure which seems to interfere
with their own particular legislative
hobby. The outlook at present indicates
that members of both houses will subor-
dlnate their own personal ends to the
public good and the dictates of common
sense

REPUBLICANS AXE JUBllANT.

The republicans of Montana have a
publican newspapers of the state have
reason to feel proud of such constitu-
ency. Their interests and desires are
Identical They are prosperous and con-
tented from the same causes.
The industrial activities of the nation
and it's pre- eminence in every domain of
national greatness are due to the Wis
dom of republican policies. The country
trusted the control of the government
for two presidential terms to the demo-
cratic party. Dizziness, disaster and de-
spair followed. William Mckinley and
a republican congress were then elected
and the consequence was that after four
years of phenomenal prosperity the peo-
pie elected the president to a second
term and indorsed every principle he
represented and enforced.
There is left no organized opposition
to the republican party. The democracy
is split suuarely in two the leaders of
each faction accusing the other of be-
traying party principles and disgracing
party tradition. The democratic press
itself is naturally no better off. In no
state of the Union is it united or con-
slstent. In most states it has none of
the courage of it's convictions. There is
not in the West democratic paper that
cares to avow its belief in the last plal-
form of the national democracy or define
its position as to the Cleveland or Bryan
Wing of the democratic party. There is
not democratic paper in all the west
that is now openly contending for free
trade, tariff for revenue. or for the
removal of the duty on WOOL
When Senator Gibson last week de-
clared his belief in free trade, not one
OF his own party organs in his own state
either Endorsed or criticised his POSITION
Last fall both wings of the fusion
parties pledged themselves to fight COM
bines and trusts to the end, and threat

Germs in the state. Yet now, in the
presence Of the greatest railroad COM
bine ever known on earth, where stand
the democratic party and it's press:
What have the governor and attorney
general to say on the subject of the rail-
road merger or on any other issue upon
which they rode into power? The truth
is, our excellent friends the democrats,
are either inclined to silence these days
or are debating with themselves the
wisdom of joining the republican party.
There IS plenty of room and warm
welcome for all within the republican
fold. Time has proved the wisdom of
republican policies, for they have saved
the country. Every republican is proud
of his party, its principles and it's presi-
dent. There is JOY in being a republican
that the average democrat knows not o..

mental to the regular twelve-page edi-
ton being devoted to the message.
A great degree Of public interest has
been created by the guess work that has
been indulged in by those who have at
tempted to forecast the utterances Of
the president upon the occasion of his
first communication to congress. The
message tomorrow afternoon will speak
for itself. That it will be so readable
that everyone will peruse its contents
there is no doubt. The Inter Mountain
will give it to the public almost imme-
diately after its delivery and in such
form that general knowledge of its
contents may be secured at a glance
and the details may be gathered easily
by the reader who gives it closer

OBSTRUCTlOkISTS WILL Be SCARCE.

For the first time in many years the
congress of the United States has con-
tanned but two political parties. The
members who were formerly allied with
the silver republican or populist parties
have taken seats in the democratic band
wagon and there seems to be no dis
gruntled element left to flock by itself
and block the wheels of legislation by the
customary bushwhacking tactics employ
cd by congressional malcontents. This
IS as it should be. A multiplicity of par
ties with an interminable number Of
legislative irons in the fire seldom secure
satisfactory results and frequently the
most desirable piece of legislation in a
sessions business is side-tracked 10y the
Insignificant minority bent upon policy
Of obstruction.
If, in addition to the plainly defined
party lines the session of congress which
opened at high noon today is free from
the presence of eccentric individuals
whose highest ambition is to block the
wheels of public business, then the gath
ering of lawmakers will indeed be
blessed. The many important measures
now before congress make it imperative
that business be carried on with all pos
sible expedition. It is sometimes neces-
sary in order to fill up the legislative day
with work that counts in the total of the
benefits derived from a congressional
session, to take bill from it's regular
place upon the calendar and advance it
before congress for immediate considera-
tion. 1t is necessary in the course of
such legislative cross-cuts to secure
unanimous consent of the members and
one objection may act rs a stumbling
block and prevent for days at a time the
accomplishment of necessary work.
Citizens of Montana who worked hard
and long to secure the passage of bill
Segregadng a portion of the National
Park for the purpose of building a rail
road to Cooke City have memories of one
Jkiig0re Of Texas that are far from
