DIVORCE PAPERS ARE BURIED
Efforts 20 Secure Information in Case
Of Prominent New Yorker
Futile.

SIOUX FALLS. s.. d.. April 6.-(special.)
-Extraordinary efforts are being made to
suppress the story connected with the
divorce case Of DR.. Allan Nolan Hamilton
a famous New York physician. who was a
few days ago granted a divorce decree by
Judge Jones Of this city. The divorce was
granted while Judge Jones was holding a
term Of court at Elk Point. but Il was stated
at the clerk Of courts office In that city
that the papers in the case are not on file
there.
DR.. Hamilton was brought into national
prominence Immediately after President
Mckinley was assassinated, having been
summoned from New York to Buffalo TO
examine into the mental condition Of Cool.
gosz. the assassin.
Efforts on the part Of newspaper men to
be permitted TO examine DR.. Hamilton's
complaint and thus ascertain the grounds
upon which he applied for and was granted
a divorce have been steadily frustrated by
interested parties. and up to this time no
newspaper man has been able to examine
the papers in the case, although they should
be public records.
Having been freed from his former matri-
monial alliance DR.. Hamilton has now taken
unto himself a new wife in the person Of
Mae Copeland Tomlinson, who has also re-
sided in Sioux Falls for seven or eight
months and who, as in the case Of her new
husband, was recently granted a divorce
here from her former helpmate.

PUNcTURES ABSURD RUM0R
Director Roberts of Mint Says He
could Not Limit Gold Coinage
II Re wished.

FORT DODGE. Ia, April 6.-(special.) -
Hon. George q. Roberts, director OF the
mint, in an interview today exploded
the newspaper reports which have been
freely circulated to the effect that ne may
limit the coinage OF gold, grounded on the
rumor that Mr.. Roberts had ordered work
TO be discontinued on the new mint at
Denver.
Mr.. Roberts said: Nothing could be
more absurd than the suggestion that the
director OF the mint may limit the coinage
OF gold. He could not. II disposed to. The
mints OF the United States are open
by law to the free coinage Of gold and are
bound to receive all that Is brought to
them. The construction Of the new mint
'at Denver has been delayed by the insol-
lveney Of a contractor. but there is a gov
eminent assay once in that city which
meantime receives bullion and forwards II
at government expense 20 the mint at
Philadelphia"
Mr.. Roberts said that the report Of his
disposition to discourage gold production
had it's origin in his opposition to several
bills for the establishment Of new ASSAY
ofhces in recently established mining dis
tricts. A government assay ONCE. he
said, Is virtually an outside agency for a
mint. Bullion Is received. paid for and
transported to the mint at the expense
OF the government. Naturally. every new
mining district wants a government assay
once. The present director Of the mint
has opposed the multiplication Of these
ofhces, having been convinced that the
service rendered TO the public was usually
not OF sufheient Importance TO Justify the
expense OF the treasury.

that will ultimately cause considerable

DAILY BLOWS
Brought On Appendicitis.

II a person will continue to put a little
poison in the body each day, for Instance
like q cup OF coffee each morning when
coffee acts as a poison. and II frequently
does, the result will be an attack some day
in SOM OF the organs OF the body. The
little disturbances each day pile up and
finally become a big disturbance.

brought on by coffee drinking. 1t first af-
fects the nerves OF the stomach. and the
disorder travels on down through the

the time / knew the coffee was ~lnjurins
me, but did not feel like giving It up.
First my nerves felt the effect and later
on constipation developed, and after that.
the last year, / had a severe attack OF APP
pendicitis. My doctor and friends all
agreed tha these troubles we're largely
caused by coffee drinking.
while l was i'll some Postum was sent
me by friends. 1 supposed It was coffee
and hesitated at the FIRST cup. but when
the difference was explained. and / drank
as much as / cared for, with such good re-
suits. l concluded Postum was just what
/ wanted and have used 1t ever since. II
greatly aids digestion, is %nourishing and
refreshing.
My food and nourIshment while getting
well from appendicitis were Postum and
Grape Nuts
IF I had known OF Postum years ago /
might have been saved a tremendous
amount Of suffering brought on by coffee
drinking.
Rev. - is one OF my converts to Pos

but has entirely recovered since he quit
coffee and began using Postum.
DR., -, who suffered a long while from
