Coffee Gets In Its Fine Work.

Coffee Gets In Its Fine Work.
Watch coffee drinkers and observe that
practically every one Of them has some
form. Of inoipient or fixed disease.
Mrs. F. N. Wright Of San Francisco,
Cal, tells her experience: II was 20
years old before I ever knew the taste of
coffee, and before I commenced drinking
1t, I never was troubled in the least with
constipation. but after drinking coffee for
one year, became constipated to such a
degree that I had to resort to drugs to
overcome it.
After three years drinking coffee, had
cultivated chronic state of constipation
and other annoying symptoms became
manifest The first thing in the morning
I had a headache come on, a feeling Of
nausea, and these symptoms would per-
sist until I had drunk quantity Of cof-
fee. At first, 1 did not associate these
symptoms with the habit of coffee drink
ing. I thought my system must be run
down. and felt glad that coffee, instead
Of prescribed drugs would relieve the
weakness. Like many people, did not
reason from cause to effect.
About this time I had an elderly nurse
in my employ, who complained every
morning Of similar symptoms, and when
I suggested mineral water, etc., to her for
her biiousness, she said, Nothing in the
world but my coffee will relieve me, when
feel so badly My husband began to
complain if he did not get his coffee at
a certain time, of queer sensations in the
stomach and head. I became alarmed at
theSe condolences, and came to the con-
clusion that coffee had as strong hold
on US as whiskey has with the veriest
drunkard. About this time, I was taken
Ill with inflammatory rheumatism, and the
two doctors who attended me told me I
would have to stop drinking coffee or re-
main cripple, as they could not treat me
If I persisted In using drug stronger
than the drug I needed.
My husband and I agreed to try an ex-
pertinent and commenced the use of Pos
tum Food Coffee The effect was marvel
GUS and taught US some valuable truths
and now we would not touch a cup of
coffee for anything. His business de-
mands the utmost concentration of brain
force continuously. He now looks like
a new man; he has had no headaches OF
bilious attacks for some months, and d.
gests all his food without any distress
I feel sure that he would have been q
wreck if he had kept on with coffee
After I began using Postum, I soor
recovered from my attack Of rheumatism
and In a, few weeks I could walk about
again. I am no longer troubled with
constipat ton, headaches, nausea or rheu.

tinued use Of coffee becomes in time as
hurtful to the human system as alcoholic
stimulants. know my case and my hus.

1t would mean the greatest possible in

and the least possible injury to the trusts
themselves. II would mean incalculable
loss to all wage earners employed in every
industry thus recklessly assailed, it would

are necessary to modern business and
which it is the purpose Of the republican
party to bring within the power Of wise

The strike of the miners in the anthra-

MR.. SHAW'S RULING
Will the Controller of the Currency
Follow It Out?

Washington, Oct. Sit is rumored that
g. cabinet minister declares that the presi-
dent feels that one Of the proposals Of
Secretary Shaw was Of doubtful propriety
and another, perhaps, illegal. The cab
met officer refused to permit the use Of
his name, and declined to be more spe-
ciflc in his charges, explaining that he
could not precipitate public row over
the matter. He suggested that the gov
eminent soon would be compelled to pass
on the legality Of the Shaw proposals to
the national banks. ;
What he meant by the last suggestion
was that national banks in a short time
would be called upon by the controller Of
the currency for statements. If any
showed that the reserve had dropped be-
low the Is per cent limit, through failure
to consider government deposits as regu-
lar deposits, such statements would have
to be approved or disapproved by the con-
troller Of the currency. Under the law a
rs per cent reserve fund must be main
tanned in certain cities and ID per cent In
cities Of another class. s.!
Controller Ridgely was asked what he
would do in case a statement revealed a
banks reserve below the legal limit--that
is considering a government account the
same as any other depostor. ~ ~
II must decline to answer that question
now" he said. To another interview er he
declared that he did not know what he
would do. -"
A legal officer OF the treasury said: 1.-THE
proposal Of the secretary of the treasury
amounts to no more than If it came from
the president of the United States from
the admiral of the navy. The national
banking act tells exactly what the re-
serves must be. No one but congress can
change this.
'"The secretary Of the treasury cannot
change the provision or application Of this
law, no more than he can change the de-
nomination Of a bill, or a bond. When the
question of these reserves comes before
the controller Of the currency in the bank
statements, he will act as though the sec
rotary of the treasury never had spoken"

FIND DYING TRAIN RoBBER
Refuses to Give Names of AccOmpIices,
but They Are Found by
other Means.

TRINIDAD, Colo, Nov 19.--The Colorado
& Southern train robber who was shot
by the express messenger during the at
tempt to rob his car last night was
found near the scene of the attempted
holdup this morning with bullet hole
through his stomach. He died a short
time afterward. The man refused to give
his name or those of his accomplices.
Letters on his person, however led to his
Identification as A. e. Hudson. a Gray
Creek coal miner.
Alexander Clark, who Is s~i,Anosed 70 be
one OF the gang, was arrestea as he was
boarding a train here this evening, but he
stoutly affirms his innocence. He is about
80 years of age and single.
Mrs. Hudson, wife OF the dead robber, is
confined in the county Jail. She denied all
knowledge of the holdup and said her
husband, accompanied by Alexander
Clark, started on a hunting trip yesterday
The gun which Hudson used was found
however, under the mattress of a bed in
her house, and she finally admitted it had
been brought to the house about 1 O'Clock
this morning by Guy LaCroix, another sus-
pect. Posses are now securing the country
in search of LaCroix and the other miss
ing robber and 1t is thought their capture
will be effected tonight. All the robbers
were Gray Creek miners.
rumor at 10:3O O'Clock was to the
effect that the remaining two robbers hat
been surrounded at the head OF Frejollt
creek, near the scene of the holdup, and
that a hard fight between the posse and
robbers was being fought.

MAY DELAY THE TREATY
Differences Arise Between the state
Department and the Colombian
Government.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Differences
have arisen between the State department
and the Colombian government which may
delay an agreement upon the terms OF a
canal treaty beyond the time in which
1t has been expected to conclude the treaty.
Secretary Hay has furnished the Col
ombian minister, Mr.. COncha, with a mem
orandum setting forth the position Of this
government which was prepared by the
secretary after he had received a similar
memorandum from Mr.. Concha defining
the Colombian position. There are differ
enees between the two which must be
reconciled before a treaty can be drawn.
It is apparent that Mr.. Hay has taken a
irm position and did not adopt all the
terms proposed by the Columbian gov
ernment.
II is assumed that Mr. Concha will refer
the points Of variance to his government
aud thus time will be consumed at II will
take several days to get a reply from Bo-
gotta to his inquiries.
To what extent the differences may prove
to be obstacles In the way of a eonsumma-
tion Of q treaty remains to be seen.

CASE is NOT APPEALABLE
Decision of Justice Brewer in the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany Litigation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Sitting in his
chair as presiding justice for the Eighth
judicial circuit. Justice Brewer Of the
United States supreme court, today denied
an application for an appeal to the circuit
court for that circuit from the decision OF
Judge Caldwell, providing for the appoint
ment Of a master in chancery to supervise
the meeting OF the stockholders OF the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company, to be held
December 10
The argument consumed about two and
one-half hours time, and at the conclusion
Justice Brewer announced his decision. He
held that II the presentation to the circuit
court Of Colorado of the petition for appeal,
accompanied, as II was, by an assignment
Of errors and tender OF bond. did not con-
stitute the taking Of an appeal within the
meaning of the law. 1t was now too late
for him to allow the appeal. But he said
that II that did constitute the taking OF an
appeal then the case was already in the
circuit court of appeals, and 1t could not
make any orders for supercedeas, ETC.. re-
quisite to make the appeal effective.
He therefore refused to take any action
whatever In the case. The effect Of the
decision Is TO leave the case where 1t was
placed by Judge Caldwell's order, and pre-
sumably the meeting for the election OF
directors under the supervision Of Master
Seymour d. Thompson will proceed. on the
10th proximo, in accordance with Judge
Caldwell's order, unless those opposed to
such action hnd a way TO prevent it. At
torneys Beaman and McKenney say they
