HEAVILY INVOLVED. A Failure Impending.

Improper feeding brings on disease. The use of coffee for instance is almost certain to cause organic ills. The whole system of health becomes involv- ed and the physical failure known as collapse is always impending. No if nancial trouble can cause half the suf- fering that follows disease and most disease comes from what we eat and drink.
 It is no guess work but solid, scien- tific fact that coffee hurts about of every 10 that drink it. It attacks the vital organs directly, and indirectly it's i'll results are frequently seen in the re- motest corners of the body. All the while serious organic diseases may be growing that will be hard to cure and coffee drinker is subject to such suffer- ing as headaches, biliousness, hatu- fence, insomnia, nervousness and a hundred and one other ills.
 'Once upon a time as they say in fairy tales, when I was controlled by the coffee fiend." writes a lady of St John. Canada, life was a weary bur den to me on account of the wretched headaches, utter weariness of both mind and body and general biliousness, all due as L afterwards found out to the use of coffee. Acting upon an old friends advice I quit coffee and drank Postum and presto, in a week I was transformed into different being.
 Tn a month I was gifted with bound ing energy in place of my former lassi- tude and a general uprising of my for merly dormant ambitions was plainly evident I benefited so greatly that I constituted myself a missionary among my friends to spread the truth about Postum and 1 can tell you of many of my friends who have used it with won derful good results

The tribesmen displayed great temerity in their onslaught. They are camped in the middle of French territory in the confines of the Zousfana valley.

Washington, D. C., May S.-The in- vestigation of the affairs of the post office department which has been drag ging along for months, took a sensa- tional turn this afternoon when by order of Postmaster General Payne, August W. Machen, general superin- tendent of the free delivery system and one of the most widely known gov ernment officials in the United States was relieved from his duties and Post office Inspector NJ. c. Fosnes was designated to take charge of that ser vice.
 The change will take effect tomorrow morning when MT. Fosnes will assume charge of the free delivery service and at the same time that service will pass under the control of the office of the fourth assistant postmaster general Heretofore it has been under the juris- diction of the first assistant.
 The action of the postmaster general was taken on the written recomenda- tion of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, who is directing the investigation of the affairs of the de- partment. that the transfer of MT. Ma chen's bureau to his jurisdiction and it's administration by a postoffice in- spector would expedite the investiga- tion.
 In ordering the change the postmaster general gave MT. Machen leave of ab- sence >until the investigation is con cluded.
 MT. Machen promptly acquiesced in the decision of the postmaster general, taking occasion to say in doing so that he courted the fullest investiga- of his conduct. Mir. Machen has been under fire ever since the investigation began. Charges of various kinds have been preferred against the adniinistra- ton of the free delivery branch of the postal service. These included allega- tions of collusion with letter box man ufacturers in the furnishing of boxes

Pennsylvania railroad, which left Phil adelphia at g o'clock yesterday morn ing.
 McClain, who was the fireman, leaned from the window on his side of the cab to inspect a portion of the mechanism. At the Forty-fourth street bridge his head came in contact with one of the steel supports of the structure.
 As a result of the impact McClain's s head was gashed and he became uncon- = scious. His body remained balanced on the sill of the window and each Iurch of the locomotive threatened to jostle it to the tracks. The engineer did not notice what had befallen the fireman.
 When the train stopped at Fifty sec ond street no one saw McClain until the conductor was about to give the starting signal. A passenger saw the mans position and told the trainmen.
 McClain's skull was fractured. He was operated upon at the Presbyterian hospital and may recover. He lives in Norristown.

Washington, D. C., May S.-The war department today made public the re- port O. Colonel Mills or the interview with General Baldwin at Denver. to- gether with the endorsement of Secre- tary Root. The findings have been made public already. The report deals with the methods of the different news papers in Denver and pronounces the interview in which General Baldwin IS alleged to have criticised the Filipinos and negroes, "a fake"
 Colonel Mills also says: "'I found General Baldwin much chagrined at the notoriety thrust upon him by this newspaper episode, and greatly humili- ated at the thought that anyone would believe him guilty of the utterances al legged in this newspaper article; that anyone could believe him so poor soldier as to be indifferent to the lives of the men he commanded was to him

to postofflce patrons, particularly on the rural mail routes and the appoint ment of carriers, etc.
 There also has been conflict between MT. Machen and First Assistant Post master General Wynn ever since the latter assumed office. Wynn charges Machen with irsubordination. The re- lations between the head of the free de- livery service and other officials re- suited in an embarrassing state of af- fairs, and for several months cores pondence between the general superin- tendent of the free delivery service and his immediate superior, the first assistant postmaster general has been conducted on the part of the former, through one of his subordinates.
 MT. Bristow all along has been of the opinion that the best interests of the service would be subserved by the re- lief of MT. Machen and has pointed out to the postmaster general that the ac- tion was imperatively necessary to the successful conduct of the investiga- tion.
 Late this afternoon before a large crowd of newspaper men, Postmaster General Payne announced his decision and read the correspondence between himself and Mir. Machen. together with the recommendation of MT. BTistow.
 Elk Representative Loud of Cali fornia, who was chairman oi the house committee on postoffices and post roads. has spent much time during the past two or three days in conference with Postmaster General Payne, First As sistant Postmaster General Wynn and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow. MT Loud and MT. Machen have been at odds officially for nearly two years, and it is believed that the counsels of Mir. Loud figured in today's developments. Mr. Machen tonight was not inclined to talk. but expressed con- fdence that he could rebut allegations made against him.

THE OMAHA STRIKE
 IN A WAY TO BE SETTLED
The Governor of the State Bas Taken
 Hand in Ii.

Omaha, Neb, May S.-A plan for the settlement of the strike which now in- wolves over 5000 teamsters, restaurant workers. freight package handlers and members of the building trades was reached late this afternoon, in which Governor Mickey will be a prominent figure.
 The plan for the proposed settlement was reached after Governor Mickey had held conference with the representa- : tives of each side. It provides for the appointment of a committee of seven men each to represent the Business Mems association and the labor unions. who will sit with Governor Mickey as chairman. The committee will meet in Omaha next Monday evening to try to reach a basis of settlement.
 Meantime, the labor leaders have giv- en their pledge to do everything in thelr power to preserve peace and prevent violence. The situation here will re- main in charge of the chief of police and the sheriff. The saloons were per mitted to reopen at o'clock this ev- ening, the mayor expressing the opoir- ion that no trouble could now arise from such action. Neither side to the controversy is willing to state on what grounds they will meet, but the opin- ion is generally expressed that the end of the strike is in sight.
 This afternoon there was large number of teams in the jobbing dis trict, and wagons were driven without molestation.
 A peculiar spectacle of the strikers in the role of deputy sheriffs protecting non-union men was presented on the streets this afternoon. The Business Mems association promised Sheriff Pow CT to furnish 100 trustworthy men for service, but only five appeared. and the sheriff asked the labor unions to fur nish twenty-five trustworthy men. They were picked out by the labor lead CTS and sworn in at the court house. Sheriff Powers stated that he belle ved both sides should be represented.

ROOSEVELT

Of an International Problem Rumor of
 Which Reached Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, May S.-The atten- ton of President Roosevelt was today called to dispatch from Washington stating that Secretary Hay was in communication with him regarding the increase of the Russian garrison a. New Chwang, Manchuria. It was fur ther asserted that the secretary o1 state was only awaiting the presidents 5 approval of his course to take vigorous action, even to the extent of a joint protest by Japan, England and the United States.
 President Roosevelt said that he had received no communication from Secre- tary Hay regarding the affair. He had not been asked to approve of the course indicated, and in fact he had never heard of the matter.

LEAGUE OF STRAP HANGERS.

Philadelphia, May S.-Traction com pany officials in this city are said to be perturbed over the possibility that d Strap Hangers league will be organized here.
 The strap hangers movement had it's inception in Chicago recently, and is coming eastward, taking in all the inn portant cities on the way. It has now reached Pittsburg. Less than a week old. the league there has membership of over 800, and before the end of the month it is estimated that 10000 will be enrolled.
 Philadelphia has a far greater list of eligibles. All the conditions are here to make Strap Hangers organizat tion ar immediate success.
 The newest Strap Hangers league, that at Pittsburg. has established regu- lar headquarters in the Schmidt build ing, and expects to apply for a charter. The hosts of men and women who arc compelled to stand up in the street cars daily. for lack of seats, are all qualified to join.
 Ten cents is the nominal membership fee that is charged, and every enrolled Strap Hanger gets a button, bearing the name of the organization. These buttons are worn conspicuously. and as they multiply during the rush hours on the traction lines the company officials begin to realize that seats for all are wanted.
 In Chicago the trolley managers at first laughed at the strange organiza- tion, but they were soon forced to re- cognize the demonstration as same thing serious, and to take action to- ward the desired reform.

. CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

Waynesboro, Pa, May S.-Waynes- boro's council is making an effort tn stop drunkenness and a tendency to avoid payment of fine by going to the lookup for twenty-four hours, and also to keep tramps out of the town, by re- ducing the rate paid for boarding the persons imprisoned in the lookup. Here tofore the chief of police has been al lowed h cents for each meal furnished the lookup occupant. Hereafter he will be given only 15 cents per day. This means practically a diet of bread and water, and, instead of submitting to it, it is believed trunks will pay their fines and tramps will remain out of town.

a source of deep regret"
 Secretary Roots endorsement Is as follows:
 War department, Washington. D. C.. May s, 1903:
 Tt appears by this very exhaustive investigation. in which testimony was taken under oath by a duly authorized officer. that the publication ascribsnr to General Baldwin statements. reflect ing upon the Filipino soldiers in the service Of the United States and also upon the negro soldiers of the United States was false; that no such state ments were made by him.
 The papers accompanying the re- port of the inspector general leave no doubt in my mind as to the correctness of his conclusions.
 The report and papers will be filled without further action.
