MESMERIZED.
A Poisonous Drug stin Freely Used.

A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.
 Many people are brought up to be- lieve that coffee is a necessity of life, and the strong hold that the drug has on the system makes it hard to loosen its grip even when one realizes it's in furious effects.
 A lady in Baraboo, writes:-"I had used coffee for years; it seemed one of the necessities of life. A few months ago, my healtR which had been slowly failing, became more impaired, and knew that unless relief came from some source, I would soon be physical wreck. I was weak and nervous, had such sick headaches, no ambition, and felt tired of life. My husband was also losing his health. He was troubled so much with indigestion that at times he could eat only few mouthfuls of dry bread.
 We concluded that coffee was slowly hot water. We felt somewhat better, / but it wasn't satisfactory. Finally, we saw Postum Coffee advertised, and bought package. I followed drec- tions for making carefully, allowing it to boil twenty minutes after it came to the boiling point, and added cream, which turned it to the loveliest rich looking and tasting drink l ever saw served at any table, and we have used Postum ever since. I gained five pounds in weight in as many weeks, and now feel we'll and strong in every respect. My headaches have gone. and I am new woman. My husbands in- digestion has left him, and he can now eat anything" Name given by Postunl Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

HOUSEHOLD REPLENIsHMENT-

Styles in Furniture to Satisfy the Aes-
 thetic - A Firm Successful Through
 Fair and Generous Dealing.
 Replenishment of household furniture is always needed and the styles in fur niture are various and changing, and will always be so as long as fashion de- crees harmony to be a requisite adjunct of beauty. Thus styles are created in household, goods just as they are in dress goods, and the up-to-date dealers thoroughly realize this fact while cater ing to the public's needs. Among the most successful merchants in the furniture line in this city who have all ways been quick to grasp the require- ments of public necessity is the firm of P. J. Kelly 6, Co. Always presenting several lines of household goods that stand wholly on their merit this firm has been known for its fair and liberal dealings with customers and have con stantly adhered to a policy of granting easy terms on credit that is winning for it an ever increasing patronage. There summer offerings consisting of furrli- ture, carpets, ranges, linoleum and baby carriages are as low in price and equal in quality to any store in New Eng land.

So far, certain ly, as the summer season is concerned we know of no other club SO, happily housed or so picturesqueiy environed And then, too. the visitor there has something to talk about and think about. The premises are associated with the great war, and the proprie- tress of them was not only a Unionist, but Union spy, in so far as she was qualified to fill that positions. Her services as a spy, however, must pale into nsignificance in comparison with her devotion to the prisoners who were held in the Libby.
 It was quite natural that Miss Whit tie should adopt the long circulated story that prisoners escaping from the Libby prison were temporarily con- cealed in the attic of the Van Lew house-in a secret chamber-but our own recollection is clear and positive that Miss Van Lew told us the story was without foundation"
 She said her house was under sur- veilance constantly, and that it was sometimes searched, and, therfore, she had to provide for escaped prison CTS elsewhere.
 As to the information Miss Van Lew furnished the enemy, we cannot think it was very valuable. Unfortunately for us, Grant had far better sources of information as to Confederate military movements. It is we'll known now that one of the clerks is our war de- partment was his spy, and there is re- form to believe that an officer who had extraordinary opportunities for &C., quiring military secrets-he was not in the war department-betrayed us. And from time to time Pinkerton and other Federal secret service men came to the city and conferred with the local spies and carried away budgets of news. One of these fellows, Webster, fell into our hands, and was hanged at Camp Lee cold Fair Grounds') now the Exposition grounds. When taken from prison to be conveyed to the place of execution he gave evidence of ab- iect fear, but braced up little when adiured by his wife to 'be a man." His wife was not with him when he was captured, but we suppose was allowed to come through the lines and visit him in his time of immeasurable terror and woe. However, that may be. she was with him here in Richmond or that day.
 The operations of the Federal spies ir Richmond during the '61-65 period would make thrilling story if proper ly told. There is much reason to be. lieve that there were many more oi them than we dreamed of them And as we have hinted in the foregoing paragraph, at least one of those who incurred suspicion--to put it mildly held 8 commission and knew what news was valuable and how to get it
 but it was not until the war was ovel that the enormity of his transgressions was known.
 The Confederates had their spies ir Washington. too, but none in higf , places. One was a woman in govern ment office, who furnished such secret; as she was able to obtain. but hel budget had to he sent for: she could not manage to send 1t through the lines

A SUDDEN SUMMONS.
Martin Metten, One Of the Best
Known Yourg Men of the North
Side, Dies Very Suddenly.
DEATH DUE TO HEART DISEASE
MT. Metten Had Been in Usual Health
Sunday Morning. But a Sudden Stroke
of Heart Disease Caused His Death.

The entire North side was shocked
Sunday morning by the announcement
of the sudden death of Martin Metten,
which occurred shortly before noon at
the family residence on Milwaukee
avenue. Mr.. Metten had been Ill only
a few moments when the final sum-
mons came and the report of his death
created profound sensation.
Mr.. Metten had been in the best of
health during the morning and had
started out with his little son for a
walk. He walked some distance from
his home, when he experienced a
slight pain IN his side and returned to
the house. Soon after he entered the
house he felt the pain again, and COM
claiming of illness he went to his bed
room. A short time after he became
unconscious and Mrs. Metten hur-
riedly Summoned DIR. Farr, the family
physician. Before the doctor arrived
Mr.. Metten passed away. Death is
supposed to have resulted from heart
disease. For some two weeks Mr..
Mettem had been suffering from
slight throat trouble and it is thought
possible that this trouble produced a
paralysis of the heart.
Martin Metten was one of the best
known young men on the North side.
He was born and raised in Kenosha
and has taken an active interest in
all the affairs of the city. He was a
son of the late John Metten and was
bora at the old Metten homestead on
Milwaukee avenue, October 81, 1865.
When youag boy he went to work
| in the Balm Wagon Works and he had
been employed by the company for
more than twenty years. He was a
great favorite among the workmen and
his place will lee hard one to fill. Mr..
Metten took an active interest in poll
tics and was always active in the work
of the Democratic party in Kenosha.
On April q, 1889, he was united in
marriage to Miss Rosie eraser. The
widow and five children, four sors and
onedaughter, survive.
The funeral was held from St.
Georges church at nine O'Clock We'd
nesday morning and the remains were
