IN A TURMOIL.
Union Veterans Union Rent and
Torn by Discussions.
Section in Revolt and Makes Charges
Against Gen. Dyreniorth.
Commotion Follows and Ants Leave
-Dyrenforth Reelected.

Washington. Oct. 10.-The sessions
of the Union Veterans Union. today,
were marked by scenes of wild dis
order and confusion. The proceedings
at times became SO heated that per-
sonal encounters became likely. The
test began when an effort was made
to amend the constitution so as to re-
store the six months service clause
as a basis for membership in the or
ganization. After two hours discuss
sion the proposition was rejected. This
action created considerable i'll feeling
large number of members of the
Ohio Illinois. New York, Michigan.
Iowa and Pennsylvania delegations
met in conference over a proposition
to withdraw from the organization and
affiliate with the Massachusetts de-
partment, which severed its connection
with the union after the Des MOines
convention.
Before the convention met in the
afternoon the executive committee
heard Gen. DyrenfOrth, the COM
mander-in-chief in relation to charges
which had been filed against him by
the judge advocate general of the Di-
vision of the Potomac, alleging the
use of arbitrary power and rejecting
on his personal character. Later the
committee made a report recommend
ing that he be suspended as COM
mander- in chief.
Gen. Dryenforth was notified in open
session of the action taken by Gen. b.
F. Hutchinson Of Rochester. deputy
cOmmander-i chief, who had been dl-
rected by the executive committee to
preside. Pandemonium followed. Ev-
cry man was on his feet, chairs were
overturned and an effort was made to
throw Gen. Hutchinson off the plat
form. He. however, raised a heavy
cane which he carried and thus kept
the crowd back Gen. DryenfOrth re-
fused to recognize the committee so
that it might present it's report, and
finally after Gen. Hutchinson had been
called to preside Gen. DryenfOrth re-
fused to make way for him. Gen.
Hutchinson then left the hall. as did the
delegations above named. and the con-
vention proceeded to elect Dryenforth
commander-in-chief.
AS the anti-Dryenforth men filed out
they stated that they would not re-
main in the organization under Dryen-
forth or unless the six months service
clause was restored in the constitution.
After order had been secured the con-
vertion. with Gen. Dryenforth i'm the
chair. elected the following officers:

A NEW TEXT.
Southern Preacher Gives Food for
Thought.

Coffee works in many different and
unsupported ways. Mr.. F. L. Wesson,
pastor of Baptist church of Sardis,
Miss, writes:-
Il loved coffee from my infancy. and
never knew of it hurting me until I
was SO years old. l suffered with
headaches if forced to do without it.
and sometimes used it three times a
day, but headache had been one OF tie
ills Of our family, and therefore l
thought it was an inherited evil for
which coffee was special remedy,
but about nine years ago, began to
suffer from sleeplessness, which aon-
tinued until it seemed as If my nerves
would wreck for want of sleep. and yet
could not sleep.
"A friend suggested that l quit cof-
fee except for breakfast which / did,
and so found that l could sleep little
better but my headaches continued.
and my nervous system would some
times seem as if the very fbres of my
flesh were moving within me. 1t went
on until three years ago I began to
suffer at night with an itching sensa-
ton on my limbs below my knees and
on nv arms below the elbows. and
sometimes all over my body. but there
was no eruption on the skin; the flesh
was smooth and white. consulted
several good physicians. but with no
avail.

drank in the morning caused it. but
finally decided to stop coffee for
while. and try Postum Food Coffee.

coffee. I had no idea that it would re-
ueve the awful itching deep down in
NV flesh. but thought would try it to

her that did not know what was the

and was thankful for it.
~ then went over to preach in an
other town. and while there drank
some strong coffee, and the itching re-
turn.d When ] came back home,
i commenced using Postum again. ana
the itching ceased. Then l decided
that coffee in some way produced the
itching. I drink Postum three times a

WATER GROWING SHALLOW.
Only IS Fathoms Deep Off the Coast of
MexIco-FormerIy 60.

New Orleans, July 22-Lieutenant Fos-
ter, in charge of the New Orleans branch
of the United States Photographic office,
reported to Washington that recent sur
vey of the Gulf of Mexico near the mouth
of the Mississippi river. shows only TWEEN
ty-five fathoms of water where there was
sixty fathoms at the time of the previous
survey. Lieutenant Foster is puzzled
over the phenomena.
Many believe that it was caused by
volcanic earthquakes in the West Indies,
while others think it is caused by de-
post of silt from the Mississippi river.
As result of the discovery the govern
ment probably will order a new survey of
the entire Gulf of Mexico.
