A FACT
Good Coffee Just as Harmful as the
Cheap Grades.

Those who defend coffee often say it
is only the cheap grades that hurt one
but it is fact that the highest priced
coffee on the market is just as injur-
ious to those with whom coffee acts as
poison as a cheap grade.
More than 20 years ago 1 became con-
WINGED that coffee was slowly killing me
and it may interest you to know that
1 found out by careful experiments
that the better the grade of coffee the
more 1 suffered says a lady of Har-
vey, Ill.
80 I gave up coffee and drank hot
water only going back to coffee oc-
casionally and always having to pay
for it in suffering of some kind.
About four years ago 1 visited the
home of a friend one evening and some
Postum was very daintily served to the
company present and was unanimously
pronounced delicious: When learned
how it was prepared 1 found that the
reason I had not liked it before was be-
cause I had not boiled it long enough
to bring out the crisp delicious coffee
taste; ever since that time have used
Postum steadily My family and /
have found it most wholesome and
pleasant and q food drink in every
sense of the word, with no bad after
effects but on the other hand it is a

LIVER TROUBLE.
This Was Caused by Prisoner in City
Jail.

A few fragments of embalmed liver
caused an investigation at the police
station today. "A prisoner complained
that his breakfast of liver and pota-
toes was all wrong. Sergeant Smith
investigated, and found that the meat
was mossgrown around the edges, and
looked pretty bad. He called the chief
and the chief called J. A. Coulter. the
man who has the contract of feeding
the prisoners. Then there was a little
inquest, and it was hard to tell whether
Coulter or the liver was the remains
Finally the plate of green-edged liver
was submitted to Mrs. Thorpe police
matrOn. She tasted il and announced
that it was rot spoiled. and it was her
opinion that the emerald tinge on the
meat was caused by some kind of
chemical used by the butchers which
would not stand cooking. But she fur
ther said that although the meat was
not spoiled in the accepted term of the
word. 1t looked bad, and she didn't
blame any one for refusing to eat it.
Coulter protested that it was not his
fault. as he had purchased the liver
from a butcher last night.

X. U. KEEPS UP PRACTICE.
Coach Weeks Has His Green Ma
terial Out Every Night

Lawrence, Kas, Sept 11-Twenty-
Gve men were out or the golf links
south of McCook field last night for
football practice. The grounds were
too muddy tc permit of Dracticing
there, and so the men were put to work
on the turf The practice was largely
kicking and catching Punts and falling
on the ball Few of the old men were
out in suits. There was a goodly num-
Der of heavy men in the squad. and
several of the new candidates handled
themselves iH a manner that would in
dica tie that they had played the game
considerably before. Coach Weeks gave
them special drill in catching the ball.
and when u man missed a catch he
was made to fall on the oigskin.
Coach Weeks is teaching the men to
punt with the ball straight in front of
the body and does not allow any
swinging of the leather He will try
hard to develop a good kicker. as I'M
der the new rules a good punter will
mean a great deal to the team.
After an hours work at kicking and
catching Weeks called the candidates
for quarterback together and put them
through a lively course for a time.
Henry Avery, captain of the ever
victorious Jayhawkers of 1899, was on
the field to assist the coach and kept
the squad at work while Weeks was
busy with individual men. DR.. Naismith
was also out.
The supply of heavy men seems
larger this year than for several years
and the prospects for a "beefy'' line are
very good at present. Donald and Pol
son are both 200-oounders and over
Coulson weighs 210 and Alderman tips

! There are several very promising mer
for the back field also Quarterback
Pooler. who made good last year, will
probably D. able to hold his place this
season without much trouble Cooke
Joe Afford and Russell all played hall
some last season. and Ellis, who was
4 in the team two years ago, is a prom
ising man for end or half this year. ,

PETITION SUSTAINED.
But Habeas Corpus Doesn't Rescue
Lynchehaun.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. Judge
Baker today sustained the petition for
a writ of habeas corpus filed by the at
torneys of James Lynchehaun. the
irish fugitive arrested here. The court
granted the petition on the ground that
United States Marshal Petit can not
make an arrest here on a warrant is
sued in New York. He said the pris-
oner had right to be tried where cap
tured. This decision would free
Lyncnehaun, but Charles Fox, the Brit
ish legal representative at New York
made application in court this morn
ing to have Lynchehaun rearrested on
warrant sworn out in Indianapolis in
order that the proceedings may go as
originally planned.
Judge Baker placed the warrant in
the hands of Marshal Petit, who was
instructed to rearrest Lynchehaun and
hold him for hearing before United
States Commissioner Moores. By mu-
tual consent the hearing was fixed for
next Wednesday.

back to the winding roads and wondrous
gardens of Italy.
Each of you has slipped of magFc
water and some day, with diploma and
degree, with lessons learend and knowl-
edge gained. you will go back to the
little prairie station. The train will
draw noisily out of the far horizon and
you will reach your home. Tears will
glisten again in the eyes Of loved ones,
but they will be tears of delight; hands
will tremble with joy at your touch;
pride in your strength and confidence in
your power will lend kfamour to your
presence.
When that day comes-and it will
come soon-the cares, the responsibilities
and the duties of tomorrow will be upon
you.
Kansas will be YOUTHS.

The bond market was very quiet and
slightly irregular at noon.
Atchison was bid up rapidly and touch
ed 6S on an active demand for both ac-
counts. This buying impaired firmness to
the general railway list which averaged
a small fraction above yesterdays close.
There was an improved demand for Uni
ted States Steel which rallied to 2O% and
most of the other specialties which had
been under pressure recovered fully.
Stock speculation displayed good I'M
dertone during the afternoon, though the
volume of business was rather light. Un-
ion Pacific and Metropolitan Street Rail-
way were lifted l point and III points re-
spectively, and there was a sharp frac-
tional advance in the United States Steel
Stocks, St. Paul and Missouri Paclnc.
Reaelizing in Atchison checked the buy
ing in that stock but its reaction was
