OLD FOGY KNEW.
Experience Teaches People.
My parents considered coffee simply

My parents considered coffee simply q harmless beverage for old and young. so when a mere baby I commenced to drink it, and when l reached woman hood found myself troubled with temper and to obtain relief, I drank more and mo.e coffee, thus adding fuel to the fire.
 I grew worse until life was one black night of pain. My nerves were shat tered, body wrecked with suffering, ms stomach gave out and utterly refused to digest the most simple foods, and finally I lay for weeks starving and longing for food, but unable to eat more than just enough to keep me alive.
 While in this state, my next door neighbor brought in a fragrant cup that I supposed was some new grade Of coffee, and although I had suffered so terribly from it's effects, the tempta- tion was too strong to resist, and = drank it with relish. I noticed it had a rich agreeab ble taste and I drank 1t without distress. She repeated the kindness two or three mornings.
 began to congratulate myself that it was not coffee that hurt me after all. i was assuring my friend of this one day when she astonished me by saying that l was not drinking coffee, but a pure food drink called Postum Food Coffee, made from nOurishing grain for build ing up the system and nerves instead of tearing them down.
 l then began to drink Postum regu- larly, and to get well slowly but surely. Today I am strong. hearty woman: my nervous system is entirely rebuilt and with a reserve force of strength n time of need; I sleep well and awake refTshed ard feel bright for each days ! task, with no indigestion or stomach trouble, and a good, strong active brain ready for any mental strain or toll. There is no doubt on earth that coffee l nearly killed me
 A friend of mine was obliged to re- | sign her position as school teacher, be- 1 cause of extreme nervousness caused | by coffee drinking. I induced her to | use PostGm in place of coffee, and at 1 the end of four months she began | teaching again. her nervousness gone | and feeling and looking ten years ! younger; her sallow complexion having | become a beautiful healthy bloom. | Name given by Postum Co., BattIs 1 Creek, Mich.

Washington, December 1O.-It was caid at the British and German em- bassies today that the action of Presi- dent Castro in ordering the arrest of all subjects Of the British and German governments in Caracas is without precedent in the history of civilized countries, supposedly at peace with each other anu that such action will be regarded as sufficient ground for declaIat of war. Members of tha diplomatic corps here indeed. regarJ it as being such declaration in itself
 Minister Bowen's prompt action m demanding of President Castro the re- lease of German and British subjects arrested in Caracas yesterday is in ac- cOrdance with the plan agreed on be- tween the German and British ambas- sadors and Secretary Hay when the former called at the state department fully three weeks ago and in anticipa- ton of the present ugly situation in Venezuela. requested that the United States minister at Caracas be permit ted to protect the lives and property of all British and German citizens in Venezuela.
 It is understood that President Cas- tro has been notified of this action.
 It was pointed out by a European diplomat of high standing today that in forcing Minister Bowen to demand President Castro is acting directly con trary to the desire of the Washington government not to become involved in the international dispute. Both Ger rnarv ar nd Gvaat .2ritaiu if is said f11llx- appreciate the position of the United States and aIe determined that this country shall not be drawn unneces- sarily into the embodiment. It was also stated that President Roosevelt's recent interpretation of the Monroe doctrine was being looked to by both nations as authority for the extent to which they could go into their claims against Venezuela without emDarrass- ing the United States.
 The particular utterance of the presi- dent upon which they set their atten- tion is this: This (the Monroe doc trine) has nothing to d. with the com mercial relations of any American power save that in truth it allows each of them to form such as it desires. In other words. it is really a guaranty of the commercial indepenuence of the Americans. We do not ask under this doctrine for any exclusive commercial dealings with any other American state. We do not guarantee any state against punishment if it misconducts itself provided that punishment does not take the form of the acquisition of territory by any non-American power the release of the arrested subjects,

Washington, December 10.-Almo7t the entire session of the senate today was devoted to a discussion of the omnibus statehood bill. The bill came over as unfinished business from the last session and by agreement. to-day was fixed for calling it up. Early Tn the morning hour MT. Quay submitted a report of his own and its reading occupied the time of the senate until 9 o'clock when the statehood bill ws-s laid before the senate. Its reading yyas begun immediately thereafter fol- Iowd by the reading of the substitute.
 NIT. Beveridge chairman of the cC-'- mittee on territories, then prescntet. the committee report giving the req sons for recommending the joint state hood of Oklahoma and Indian terri tory and for not flvOring the omnibus bill.
 During the consideration of the state hood measure MT. Quay never left the chamber. For the most part he re mained in his chair, only once or twice leaving it for the purpose of cOnferring with some senator near by. Deiegato Rodey of New Mexico, and Flynn of Oklahoma were on the floor of the ~-1ate and closely followed the pro- ceedings.
 Just before the adjournment Mr. Mel son secured permission to witndra" the substitute in order to perfect it. Ar. Quay promptly insisted that the substitute, if wihdr1wn, should be sent back to the committee, but the chair ruled against him.

ROUQUETs FOR US.

Speaking of Arizona, it is said that
 the educational progress of the terri
 tory has been fair and there is a large pcI Centage Of refined people who have
 been attracted by the climate and by oppCI tUnities for adventure and enter
 prise. But 1t is stated that while
 these elements are important and in-
 valuable to tEe territory and while
 their influence altogether has formed
 and will steadily grow, it cannot be
 truthfuily said at present that they are
 ia sufficient number to dominate the
 mass of the inhabitants of the terri
 tory. This is proved by the fact that
 saloons and gambling establishments
 are by the statutes of the territory per
 mitted openly to run by night and by day, on Sunday as well as week days
 and an attempt to repeal this law has
 been futile"
 The report then declared that even were all the people oi the territory of the admirable class above described. they would be far too few to justify statehood"
 The resources and development Of the country is also declared to be too limit ed tC entitle the territory to statehood
 Replying to the contention of the people of New Mexico and Arizona that development has been retarded because of lack of statehood the committee points out that Oklahoma has develop- ed without statehood and says: The Indian territory even with nc form of government at all has nevertheless at | tracted hundreds of thousands of Am erican citizens from the old states of | the union, who have opened it's mines. worked it's fields and built up towns which astonish the observers and con z found even the most confident believer m the energy c; the American people
 when the untoward conditions of the l Indian. territory are considered. The committee says the two terri tories of Oklahoma and Indian terri tcry have combined population of about a million people. Of the people
 CT Indian territory only S6,OOO are in- dians and attention is called to the fact
 that many of the people of New Mexico and Arizona, while called Mexicans. [ are descendants of Indians as well as
 MeXicans and Spaniards.
 1 Contending for the union of Okla 1 homa and Indian territory the report says that Oklahoma is toe contracted ] ih area Tor statehood alone and that
 nature, commerce and all human con ditions have decreed that they should 1 be united"
 Ih conclusion the committee says that
 u IS mistake not to admit New i .ieElco and Arizona at the present time ! It IS a mistake which can be remedied l by a1y future congress. If it is 9 mis- l take tc admit them and that n!sta ke IS consummated it never can be un-
 done"

.or any propcreI new state at the pres
 ent tune oI I,65U. .0UJ. Referring spccIi-
 caIly U the conditions lJund by the
 subcommittee to exist in New Mexico, it is asserted that the courts oi jus uces ot the peace are practically all conducted in spanish and interpreters me necessary II other courts as they ale in the legislature, in political con ventions and even in campaign speed hes.
 1t is further asserted that while both Spanish and English are taught Ill schCyis the school children generally LCAvc. SC among themselves in SpdnIsn and that when children finish tn~ir school career their tendency is b re-
 lapse into the spanish as the ldnguAS l.
 of their daily fife. It is stated that many jurymen sign their marks. Inc committee admits that there are many excellent people among the MeNicans and say that when the territory be- comes more Americanized no one will object to statehood tG. this territory. Or the sO-calIed Americans it is said that some or them are not nearly so good citizens in conduct or in under standing of our institutions as the Mexican element. Such are the rin- ran, to use the expression of United States Judge Aills, whc first followed the railroads and such other elements as are always seen in any country" s extending frontier"
 The report says that many people Q: the terrtCry are opposed to it's admis- sion but intimates broadly that condi- tio.s make them fear to express their sentiments.

FAMILY ASSAULTED
 BY CRAZY TRAMP
Two Dying and Others Perhaps Fatally
 Injured.

Salinas, Gala, December 10.-Simeon Graves, a prominent farmer, and his wife with George Allen, a fourteen year-old boy whose home is in San Francisco, and George H. Albright, a farm hand, were brutaliy as- saulted by a tramp last Monday night. George Allen and Albright win die. The physicians say there is but little hope for the recovery of Mrs. Graves and the condition of MT. Graves IS very serious.
 The tramp appeared at MT. Graves door and asked for a drink of water and food and for permission to sleep in the barn. Graves sent young Allen with him to the barn. When outside the tramp threw him down, bound and gagged him. ArmiHg himself with a hatchet the tramp went to the barn attacked Albright, fracturing his

 The tramp grabbed the pistol and fired one shot into Graves breast Graves fell to the floor, the tramp bound him and struck him two heavy blows on the head with the hatchet, rendering him unconscious.
 Mrs. Graves hearing the shots came to the rescue of her husband. The tramp felled her with a blow from the hatchet, beat her into inconsistencies Then the would ransack- ed the house securing $11 and fled. The injured were not discovered until noon to-day.

THE REPORT.
It's Reasons for the Exclusion of Ari-
 Zuna and New Mexico.


 Washington. December 1O.-SenatOr Beveridge. chairman of the senate committee on territories, today pre- scented the report Of the majority com mittee against the omnibus bill for the admission of Oklahoma. Arizona and New Mexico as states and iH sup port of the substitute bill reported by the committee for the admission as one state of Oklahoma and the Indian ter ritory.
 The admission of New Mexico and Arizona is opposed on the ground that the population in both territories is sparse and insufficient in numbers, that a vast majority of the people of New Mexico are of Spanish descent and speak the Spanish language only; that many oi the people of both territories do not understand American institu- tions and that many people do net want statehood.
 The report discusses at some length the abstract question of the necessary qualifications for statehood and then takes up the preparedness of territories under each of the requisites specified.
 Accepting the unit of representation rule which under the census of 1900 is 194, 1S2, it is found that New Mexico with 195,310 people would come in but that Arizona would fall considerably short of the requirement.. The commit tee lays down the general rule while no new state should necessarily be as large in population as any existing state, it is contended that it should be large enough to bear some proportion to the population of the rest of the re- pubIic" and it is declared that if would be well if a rule could be adopted that any new state should have a population equal to the average population of the rest of the states.
 This rule would require q population

JUSTIFI-ATION.
Pleaded by the Venezuelan Govern

Paris, December 10.-A Venezuelan government communication to it's rep resentative here protests that Great Britain and Germany acting in concert have committed an act of hos tility in a manner as arbitrary as it is unprecedented by the seizure of Venezuelan vessels lying at La Guaira The communication says that indigna- tion in Venezuela is at it's highest pitch and the government is resorting to iustifiabie reprisals.

MIR. GROWS VALEDIcToRY.
His Closing Speech in His COngrcssion-
 al Career of Fifty Years.

Washington, December 10.-The fea- ture of the house proceedings today
 was a thoughtful speech by the vener- able Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania on the relations between labor and capital. At the end of the present ses- sion he retires at the age of 79 years after career in pulic life extending over half a century. His first speech in the house was on mans right to the soil"
 He was author Of the free homestead act. His speech today was regarded as valedictory to public life and was listened to with close attcztion by col leagues.
 In conclusion Mir. Crow said:
 "A labor strike is an unequal con- test at best. Ii is a contest of cadur- ance between hunger and thirst of the human stomach and the income of capital. Capital in such contests loses none of its accumulations of wealth unless an industry itself should be de stroyed and in such case labor would be the greatest sufferer. Some method of profit sharing between employers and employees that would secure a har- moniouS cooperation of both so as to prevent strikes and improve the condi- ton Of labor is of vital importance to the general welfare. for the pillars of the republic rest upon the comfort of the home and the happiness Of the fire side Of labor"
