POISONED HER HUSBAND
Evidence to Show She Married Him
for the Money He Was Known
to Have.

Bozeman, Mont, Feb. 14.-One Of the
most sensational murder cases ever tried
in Montana was brought to a close here
when the jury brought in a verdict of
granddaughter against Lucy S. Black.
The trial lasted ten days, and about for
ty witnesses were examined. Mrs. Black
was accused of poisoning her husband,
John H. Black, with morphine and arsenic,
in October last. -.e
Mr.. Black was wealthy farmer, much
older than his wife, and, according to the
evidence adduced; she simply married him
for his money. The poisoning was slow
but effective. It was first administered
about the 9Th and kept up until Oct 10,
during which Black suffered untold agony.
The defense endeavored to prove that
Black had died Of ptomaine poisoning and
the greater part of the testimony was ex-
pert, ten doctors and chemists testifying
for or against her. Sentence will be
pronounced Saturday.

COFFEE DOES 1T.
Fact. Not Generally Believed,

1t is curious to watch a coffee topper
and observe how he or she will resist all
suggestions as to coffee being the cause
OF their various ailments.
They will charge the coated tongue and
bilious condition to something they have
the bowels and the palpitation of the
heart. The sailow complexion is general
ly attributed to naturally bilious
temperament. ~
But once in while a person wakes up
and throws off coffee entirely, then the
truth begins to appear, and it is an easy
job to make this change if Postum Food
Coffee is taken in place of coffee.

the coffee habit grew on me my health
declined in the same ratio. I was subject
to nervousness, constipation, dyspepsia,
and general weak feeling l became so
nervous and thoroughly broken down that
l could not attend to business and turned
everything over to my assistant and went
to the mountains in Colorado hoping to
find health in a change of climate, but
after six months sojourn 1 came back in
worse condition than I left.
A friend insisted that I quit coffee and
try Postum and although did not be-
lieve it was the cause of my i'll health I
consented to try the new coffee. 1 I bought
a package and Wife prepared it strictly
according to directions and I was wonder
fully pleased to find it so delicious and
refreshing; the quitting >of coffee was a
pleasure rather than task.
I have now been drinking Postum for
over a year and my health has steadily
improved; the nervousness and dyspepsia
have entirely disappeared. I have gained
twenty five pounds in weight and feel, at
least, ten years younger than did year
ago.
Many Of my friends have quit coffee and
are using Postum and I do not know of q
single one who has not been benefited.
Some of these did not like Postum at
first. but in every case found the cause
to have been not having boiled it long
enough. The directions are easy enough
to follow, and when followed delicious
beverage is the result. but some slovenly
cooks put it on to boil for five Or ten
minutes, but that does not make good

Rlpon, Wis, Feb. 14.-As the result Of
the establishment of new rules at Bart
lett Hall, the residence of the co-eds,
martial law was established yesterday
by the male students. The honor system
was instituted few weeks ago for the
government of the hall, but it was sud
denly abandoned this week and the beds,
who had always been permitted to re-
ceive gentlemen callers for an hour each
evening, are now permitted this privilege
but two hours once week.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon squad
of twenty armed men marched down the
hill and established picket lines on all
sides of Bartlett hall. The guards had
orders to allow only young women and
members of the faculty to pass the lines.
Orders were carried out strictly, except
In the case Of one youth who succeeded in
running the picket and gaining an en-
trance within the sacred portals.
A corporal and two guards were detailed
to go and arrest him and he was finally
found secreted behind door. A short
struggle ensued before the prisoner was
elected and placed in the guardhouse.
The co-eds were escorted to the dining
hall under military guard.

A MINERS ROMANCE
Death in an Illinois Mine Reveals a
Strange Story.
MULATTO WITH A WHITE WIFE
Woma.rs Father, a Wealthy South
crner, Believed to Have Made
Way With Himself.

Special to The Journal. ..
Morris, ILL.,, Feb. 14.-Albert Meade, a
mulatto miner, was accidentally killed at
Carbin Hill yesterday. His death re-
Vealed romance. The widow is a
white woman, the daughter of proud
and wealthy southern family. All Of the
story is not known.
Three years ago Meade, and his wife,
with their baby, came to Carbin Hill.
They rented the best cottage they could
find in the little mining town, furnished
it lavishly and seemed happy. They did
not associate much with their neigh
bors. Meade was bright mulatto and
handsome. His wife, who was a shade
darker than he, was remarkably hand

A year after the couple settled in Car
bon Hill a stranger, we'll dressed and
with a southern accent, appeared He
said his name was Wayne. He was hunt
ing Meade, and, declared his intention of
killing him on sight He said his daugh-
ter had eloped with Meade from their
plantation in Maryland, where Meade had
been employed as a coachman. He
was told Meade's wife was a mulatto, and,
half convinced that he was on the wrong
trail, he visited the cottage. Meade, who
had been warned Of the mans threats,
fled to the village jailer for protection
and remained in the jail all night. The
daughter and learned that, to avoid sus-
picion and to be with her husband without
causing comment among their neighbours
She had stained her face and hands with
walnut juice that she might be of his
own color.
Angry Father Relents.
The father told her that he had traced
her for year and that finally, through
detective agency, he had located her IN
Carbon Hill by the aid of list OF Gus
toners supplied by a Chicago mail order
house. He had intended to kill Meade, put
when he saw his daughter and the baby,
he relented. He said he had hoped to kill
the man who had taken her away from
her home and then to take her back to live
down the act.
This child offered an insurmountable
difficulty. Wayne declared he could not
take his daughter back with the mulatto
child, as it would break her mothers
heart. Wayne remained in Carbon Hill
two days and departed, after making his
daughter promise that, II she ever need
ed assistance, she would call on him.
Further than that, Carbon Hills knows
nothing of Wayne, or whether the name
was assumed or not. He never returned
to his Maryland home and it Is believed
he killed himself rather than go back
and face the disgrace.

Which Is Why This Chicago Young
Man Is in Trouble.

..-- Man Is In Trouble.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Feb. Hillary Monroe, a
curly-haired young man who wears Two
diamond rings and a. diamond stick pin
and who loves Hazel Anderson, learned
yesterday that it is best, in paying suit
to a young woman, to spend little time
on her parents. Hitherto he has confined
himself to calling upon the girl. He has
turned the music while she has sung, and
for her sake has bought theater tickets
by the barrel ...-.
He met her parents yesterday and his
demeanor was so forbidding that they
feared he had run away with the girl
without their knowledge. That they
might know something Of what was going
on, they had him arrested on charge Of
persuading their daughter to leave home
Justice Hall held him to the criminal
court. AS his own father said that the
boy is an estimable youth, 1t is likely that
the Andersons might have Withdrawn the
parental opposition if the youth had been
little more polite to them.
