Cats Fond of olives.

woman who is very fond Of the feline

Olives are usually an acquired taste
with the human race, but cats seem to
take to them naturally; at least mine
do. An olive will set any one of them
into paroxysms of joy. They will leave
milk or fish or any other article of food
for it, purring and rolling over it much
as though it might have the intoxicat-
ing effect of catnip before they finally
eat it. ] have often tried olives on
other cats in the houses Of friends and

only they prefer their olives cut up
into pieces."-Ph Philadelphia Record

Mr.. Moulton was given a week to plead

charge that Henry F. Brown offered him
$500 to help through a deal for fire hose.
His charges We're investigated and fell
through. Now 1t is expected that he has
repeated the charges to the grand jury,
and that the. indictment known to have
been returned in connection with the
council investigation upon which no ar

the charge against Mr.. Brown.
Aid. Powers claims that the offer
of $500 to help defray his campaign eX

He says:
Mr. Moulton called one evening and
suggested that l might need about this

1t is understood that Mr.. Rhodes will

he had offered Powers the money.

LAND is NOT DESERT
IN CHARACTER
Special Agent Recommends
Withdrawal of Montana
Tracts From Entry.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 13.-Spe-
cial Agent Chadwick, of the general
land Office, has filed a report with the
commissioner recommending the with
drawal of the land of the Great Falls
(MontO land office from entry under
the desert land laws. He says that the
land is not desert in character and that
the settlers secure abundant crops of
hay and grain without irrigation. Not
Withstanding this fact, he says, many
entries of land under the desert land
law have been made.
How" he says, 1.-The entrymen could
have made reply to the question as to
whether the land required irrigation
1 do not know. Many tracts have been
entered as desert which are of excel
lent farming and grazing land charac-
ter Neither is the letter nor the spirit
of the desert land law complied with.
To get title seems to be the only de-
sire Of the settlers"
There are many streams in the
neighborhood, and in order to comply
with the law witnesses were called in
after a snoWstorm, and finding water
standing in burrows which had been
plowed for the purpose they were able
to say they had seen water on the
land" The order of withdrawal was
made upon the strength of the report
and calls for a closer inspection of the
proof in question arising in the dis
trict where entries have already been
made

KIDD CRIT|CISES
STRIKE AND LEAVES
Former President Finley Is
Kissed by the Strikers
Mills Are Running.

Thomas I. Kidd, the vice president Of
the American Federation of Labor, left
Minneapolis carrying with him recon-
mendations which it is hoped by the
striking members of the International
Union of Flour and Cereal Mill EN-
ployes will lead to support that will en-
able them to continue their strike and
finally cause the Minneapolis flour mill
proprietors to capitulate.
Mr.. Kids visit has proved one of
anxiety, rather than encouragement. He
failed utterly to convince the mill own
ers that they had better yield to the
demand that the roustabouts should be
granted eight hours work for ten hours
pay
In fact, by the time he got here the
mills Were running about as usual and
grinding as much flour as before the
strike, so the managers concluded they
would not give in to the strikers
At the meeting of the strikers at La
Dor Temple yesterday afternoon Mr..
Kidd criticised the way the strike had
been called. He wanted to know why
President John M. Finley had asked
for him to come and look into the
strike and then attempted to call it off
before he could get on the ground.
He talked in this vein for about five
minutes and withdrew without init
mating just what he would recommend
to the federation council at Washing
ton.
Former President Finley attempted
to reply to Mr.. Kidd. But few had
known of his presence in the hall. for
1t was his first appearance since he had
failed to call the strike off and had
resigned.
His appearance was greeted with
storm of Kisses, jeers, bowls and impre-
cations. His voice could not be heard
n md hn n ,.fn ,rrl,
the crowd of angry men to the street.
The meeting adjourned without any
voting, but the temper of the strikers
has not changed. They will continue
the strike, as it is about the only thing
they can do, since their places have
been filled, and comparatively few
would be received back by the mill
owners, except as individuals.
The Washburn- Crosby company had
their entire plant in operation yester-
day. The advertised capacity of the
Washburn-Crosby company Is $4,000
barrels daily, but this amount is OBJ
tanned under favorable conditions Yes
terday the company turned out $4,000
barrels, which is the highest output
since the strike was declared
The strikers have been disputing
that the output of the mills has been
as large as claimed, and one of their
theories has been that the entire ship
HlenlS VI HouT 90 not reach deSt1na-
lions as billed, but that part of it
comes back to be again shipped out.
This is emphatically denied by Supt.
Harding, of the Washburn- Crosby mill,
and it is declared too, that the quality
Is as good as before the strike.
The strikers are growing uglier and
the men employed at the mills more
cautious daily. Paul Mileck, of the
Washburn- Crosby company, claims
NV
strikers pickets who struck him and
took his pass from him.
AT the Galaxy mill Sergeant Russell
appeared just as mill employee had
drawn a revolver, after he had been
struck in the face by a striker.

HOT BEVERAGES.
What to Use in Place of Tea and
Coffee

SOH6Ss
Many drink tea and coffee against
their better judgment because they re-
quire hot drink at meal time.
They know that by the use of tea and
coffee they are only drugging them
selves, but they struggle along and
continue to use one or the other. To
these people Postum Cereal Coffee is a
great help, for many people find well
boiled Postum superior in flavor to
coffee, to say nothing of it's great
health restoring qualities.
The effect upon those who leave off
tea and coffee and take on Postum is
very marked for the old time coffee ails
such as heart trouble, kidney disease,
nervousness and other ills soon disap-
pear as if by magic. The Postum
makes new, red blood and this is shown
in the rosy cheeks and clear complexion
that replace the blotched, salloW skin
of the coffee drinker. A young school
miss of Alva, Okla, says. of Postum:
I have used 1T now for over year
and my complexion and general health
show the change. Before that time
drank tea and coffee and my COM
plexion was sallow and muddy. also
had almost constant dull headaches. I
realized that 1 must give up tea and
coffee. but hung onto them because I
felt the need of a hot drink at meal
times.
zone day heard Postum so we'll

bless the day I did SO. / dropped cof-
fee and took up Postum and now my
dull headaches have disappeared. my
complexion is fresh and nroSy, eyes
bright and mind clear / sleep well

in place of coffee. eiaIc
The matron of the Young Ladies'
Boarding House at the Alva Normal
School has adopted Postum as a stand

Postum than on any other drink.
"A lady friend of mine had a son
