THE DIFFERENCE.
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, but
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in it's place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the trial.
One who knows says: II drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
had terrible attacks of Indigestion,
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness I tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a glass
of water. Then I tried Postum Food
Coffee
at was good and the effect was so
pleasant that I soon learned to love it,
and have used it for several years. I
improved Immediately after 1 left off
coffee and took on Postum and am now
entirely cured of my indigestion and
other troubles, all of which were due
to coffee. / am now well and content
ed and all because I changed from cof-
fee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for it is so
even and always reliable. We never
use coffee now in our family We use
Postum and are always WELL" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
There's reason and it is proved by
trial.

Milwaukee and Omaha Will Run
Specials to Madison Tonight.


The special football trains to Madison,
which will be run Jointly by the Milwau-
kee and Omaha, will leave ST. Paul to-
night at $50 o'clock via the Omaha. Re-
turning the trains will run over the Mil
Waukee road. eti't
While the indications are for large
crowd, the traffic win not be as heavy as
two years ago, when the championship
game was played in Madison. However,
several hundred Minnesota rooters will go
down to the Wisconsin city to cheer for
the Gopher" team.
1t was estimated yesterday that the
special and regular trains will carry at
least 600 rooters to the game. There has
been a great demand for the excursion
tickets since they were played on sale.
The railroads this year are making a
rate of Sc for the round trip, which Is a
little less than the one-way regular rate.
At Madison the Omaha will turn the
special trains over to the Milwaukee and
returning the specials will leave for st.
Paul and Minneapolis at O'Clock.
Besides the sale of the excursion tickets,
there has also been big demand for
tickets on the regular trains. Both the

GRAIN MEN CONFER
Kansas City Shippers Hold
Meeting With p. c. Stohr.

A delegation of Kansas City grain men
held conference yesterday with P. c.
Stohr general traffic manager of the Chi
cagos Great Western, at which they asked
the Stickney line to grant to Kansas
sCity. the same rates as the Great Western
has inaugdrated in its Omaha territory.
What the outcome of the conference
was sneither Mr.. Stohr nor the members
Of the delegation would say. 1t is proba-
BILE that the matter was taken under adj
visement and that the final decision in
the matter will not be made until Presi-
dent Stickney hears the arguments of
the Southwestern grain men.
The grain dealers say that unless the
Great Western grants the Kansas City
shippers the same concessions as have
been given to the Omaha grain men they
will be greatly injured by the prevalent
rates.
Originally Kansas City and Omaha had
the same proportional rate of IA cents to
Minneapolis and when President Stickney
lowered the rate 5 cents from Omaha he
left, 1T at Ia cents from Kansas City. The
Great Western figure. it is said, enables
the dealers of Omaha to make figures
about 3 cents better on the buShel than
Kansas City can offer.
Freight traffic officials of the Chicago
Great Western do not anticipate serious
trouble over the Kansas City situation.
The cents differential is said to be the
proportion of the through-rate haul and
is considered fair. The Great Western
traffic officials say that what Kansas City
really wants is the same rate Omaha re-
ceives for haul considerably longer

MINNEAPOLIS
REPEATS THE TRICK
Gambling House Is Again Held
Up-PoIice Still Mystified.

The tall, well-built man who held up the
Metropole club, 80 Third street south, Min
neapolis, of which Carl Blake is proprietor
a week ago and secured about 500, re-
heated the trick Monday evening with
even more success. According to the state
ment of a Minneapolis business man, VINO
was one of the victims, the bold robber
was even more successful in his second
attempt than in the first, although sew
eraI of the patrons of the club were arm
ed in anticipation of a second robbery.
The robbery occurred about $3.50
O'clock said one of the victims Tnere
were six of us playing poker in one room
were playing faro.
Suddenly we heard some one say,
hands up and we turned around to look
into a big navy revolver. Our hands went
up in a hurry and in compliance with the
mans command, we quickly moved over
against the wall.
''Blake, the proprietor, was in the bar
room, and as soon as he heard the robber' S
command to us, he slammed the door and
locked it.
The fellow made US walk past him in
single file and carefully searched each one
of US with one hand, while he kept his
gun pointed at the others. He got the
pot on the table and took about $3.50 from
US He also got four revolyers. He let
us keep our watches, saying that he had
all the turnips now that he could keep
fully and nobody managed to keep any
money. He cleaned us out completely.
"One of the fellows had some cigars in
his pocket and the robber took these out.
After looking at them minute, he tossed
them on the floor and berated the man
for not smoking better stuff.
after he had cleaned US out he made
us face the wall and then backed out of
the store. AS soon as he had gone we no.
titled the police and gave them good
description of the fellow. They imme-
diately began searching for him.
Several of the players had brought
their guns, thinking that something like
this might happen, but he got the drop
on US so quick that we didn't think any
thing about it.
The man was dressed in a dark suit,
wore a wide felt hat and a black mask.
He was a big, well built fellow. and they
theink he is the same fellow who did the
trick before
The robbery was pulled off while dozens
of people were passing the store and the
police are mystifled to know how the
man succeeded in escaping. They were
very reticent about the affair yesterday.

BURLINGTON CHANGES
IT'S CHICAGO SCHEDULE
Run to the Windy City Is Heightened
Thirty Minutes.

Beginning Sunday, Nov. &c. the Bur-
lington's Chicago train will run on it's
winter schedule, leaving ST. Paul at 8:35
p. m. and arriving in Chicago at the
following morning The trip will be made
in twelve hours and half, or thirty min
utes slower than the fast summer time.
One reason for the change is to make
close connections with the Great North
ern Gopher from Duluth, which ar
rives in st. Paul at S:25 p. m. This will
give the Duluth patrons of the Burlington
line connection which will get them to
Chicago without delay.
The other reason for lengthening the
time is to insure the prompt arrival in
Chicago of the limited While it is easy
to make the run to the Windy City in
twelve hours during the summer and fall
months, it is rather difficult to maintain
the fast schedule during the stormy
winter weather.
