Trabue smiled broadly as the gaunt
man withdrew. but his amusement
was short lived, for Mrs Bishop began
to cry, and she soon rose in despair
and left the room. Alan stood for a
moment locking at the unmoved face
of his father, who had found some
thing in the last clause Of the docu-
ment which needed explanation; then
he, too, went out.

CAUSES SATISFACTION,
Crimes Act Revoked in Certain Sec
tons Of ireland.

Dublin, July ia proclamation
was published Tuesday in the Dublin
Gazette, revoking the summary juris-
diction powers of the magistrates in
those districts of Ireland which still
remain under the crimes act.
The revoking of the crimes act,
coming on the eve of King Edwards
visit to Ireland, gives great satisfac-
ton. Both here and in Belfast elabo-
rate preparations are being made to
decorate and illuminate the cities. The
king is certain to have a most enthu-
siastic welcome and general regret is
expressed that the question of pre-
senting an address to his majesty
should have been forced to a division
in the Dublin corporation, which, in
spite of the decision arrived at, is Civ
ing the citizens every facility for the
decoration of the streets.

Des Moines, a., July 15.-Sixty
Iowa coal operators met in secret ses-

series of charges against local unions
of the United Mine Workers which will
be submitted to the state executive
board of that organization for action.
If the executive board does not take
action. it is intimated the operators
will consider their contract with the
mine workers at an end. The agree
ment provides that grievances of min
ers shall be submitted to an arbitra-

clslon by the board the miners shall
remain at work. The operators claim
that in violations of this contract
there have been numerous small

the figure of an elderly woman come
out of the gate and with a quick step

She was tall and angular and had high
cheek bones and small blue eyes. She
had rather thin gray hair, which was
wound into 4 knot behind her head,
and over it she wore only small red
breakfast shawl, which she held in
place by one of her long hands.

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Modern Women Healthier Than

The last twenty years, according to
the testimony of all observers, have
worked wonders for the physical good
of womankind. That period is prac-
tically a generation. and the full issue.
therefore. of this great change has vet
to be manifested. The young women
who are now becoming or have lately
become mothers are healthier, stronger
and better fitted for the duties of life
than were their mothers and grand
mothers, even though they belong to
the numerous class which has been
herded for many years in mills and fac
tories. a. sa1

JUST ONE A DAY.
How the Coffee Crank Compromises
His Health.

Some people say: Coffee don't hurt
me" and then add: Anyway 1 only
drink one cup a day"
If coffee really don't hurt why not
drink more? There is but one answer
and that is coffee does hurt them and
they know it. When they drink it once
a day they compromise with their en-
envy. There are people whom one cup
of coffee a day will put in bed, if the
habit be continued
Although warned by physicians to
fond of it that 1 continued to use it,
confesses an Ohio lady. Il compromised
with myself and drank just, one cup
every morning until about six weeks
ago.
''All the time I was drinking coffee
had heart trouble that grew steadily
worse and finally had such alarming
sensations in my head sometimes
causing me to fall DOWN that / at last
took my doctors advice and quit cof-
fee and began to use Postum Coffee in
its place.

my craving for coffee and enjoy my
good, Postum just as well, but my heart

MRS. LAWSON HELPS.
Assists Her Husband in Recapturing
Prisoner.

Carl Lawson, patron saint of the
county Jail, went out to hunt for a
prisoner last evening accompanied by
his wife. Mrs. Lawson played an i'm
portant part in the capture of the pris-
oner. He was after Frank Harris. a
s.trusty,'' who escaped from the jail
building by climbing over the fence in
the rear of the stone shed. Lawson
drove over to North Topeka to the home
of Harris mother, and told Mrs. Law
son to watch one side of the house while
he went in.
The prisoners mother denied that he
was there, but while Lawson was ques-
tioning her he heard his wife call, and
ran out in time to see Harris escaping.
He chased the man two blocks to d va
cant house, where the prisoner took
refuge. Mrs. Lawson followed in the
buggy, and in time to see Harris jump
out of a window and run. She informed
Carl of the performance, and he hastily
cornered Harris in an alley. Today

miles up Emigration canyon. Since
then no trace has been found of Lynch.
