THREE MORE SUITS
AGAINST STRATTON

Colorado Springs. Colorado. October
4.-Three additional damage suits. ag-
gregating $4,000. were instituted in
the District Court last night against /.
Harry Stratton, the summonses being
served while Stratton was attending
the night session of the trial Of j. B.
Donovan's suit for $4,000 for alleged
breach OF contract.
Mrs. Laura Williams demands $10,-
900, Henry Jenkins $1,000 and William
Farnsworth $1,000 from Young STRAIT
ton. All allege to have entered Into
contracts with young Stratton for the
various amounts upon consideration or
their aid in interviewing and locating
important witnesses before the recent
will contest.
Attorney C. w. Waterman. repre-
senting young Stratton. in his argyll
ments in the Donovan case last night.
branded Donovan and the three new
plaintiffs as band of conspirators.
and stated that he has no hesitancy In
declaring their testimony absolutely
false from beginning to end. He stat
ed that Donovan in his dealings with
young Stratton was "a pirate under a
flag of truce, as well as bandit ON
the highway of justice"
Young Stratton commented bitterly
upon the various suits that have been
filed against him. and seems particu-
larly incensed against Mrs. Williams,
who, he stated. had attempted to Sc
cure $50, 600 from him prior to his de
parture after the settlement of the Will
contest.
After an hours argument by Attor-
ney Waterman for the defense and At
torneys Brooks and Wilcox for the
plaintiff. the Donovan case went to the
Jury at 9:45 o'clock last night Should
the jury agree, sealed verdict Will be
returned. to be read in court Monday
morning.
The four suits above mentioned. to-
gether with the $50.00o suit instituted
by the law firm of Spurgeon & Cassidy.
make a total of $9S 900 demanded In
suits pending against young Stratton.

Lumber suppIy Decreasing.

Estimates by conservative lumber
men show that the days of numbering
in the upper peninsula of Michigan
will soon be past. Before Ave years
have passed there will be practically
no timber left standing in Baraga,
Houghton and keweenaw counties
large enough to make log. Menom-
inee county, which about ten years ago
was the largest lumber producing dis
trict III the world, has lost its rank
and now produces scarcely tenth OF
its former amount. The mills which
were located there have been moved
to Louisiana and Washington. Baraga
has timber enough to keep Its few
mills running for few years more,
but like al the other parts of the state
where numbering has been carried on.
its end is near. Every season makes
the timber tracts of Honghton county
smaller

Denver. Oct. 5.-The Republican this
morning says:
After two conferences held yesterday
between Governor Peabody and Briga-
dier General John Chase.it seems to
have been pretty definitely settled that
General Chase will not return tc the
Cripple Creek district as general in
command OF the troops. Neither Cen
eral Chase nor Governor Peabody
would give any intimation yesterday
after the conference as to just what
had been the outcome of the meeting.
But there is scarcely a doubt that Cen
eral Chase has been relieved of his
command in the district. His probable
successor will be Colonel Verdeckberg.
The policy over which General
Chase and Governor Peabody do
not agree and which may cause the
formers permanent recall. is said to be
relative to the conduct of the supplies
and other things which come into the
camp.
The immediate cause of all this dis
turbance came up over the pay rolls
which are now being prepared by Col
onel Gross. According to military
rules and regulations the pay rolls
must pass through the hands of the
brigade commander, who is General
Chase. Colonel Gross. the paymaster
general of the army. did not see fit to
allow the general to see the pay rolls.
The break occurred in Camp Goldfeld
General Chase sent word to Colonel
Gross that he wanted to see the pay
rolls. Word was sent back by the
colonel that he was busy with them
and could not send them over

the 100000 already on the pension
rolls.
The commissioner of pensions. Mr..
Ware estimates the number of surviv-
ors of the Civil War who are not now
drawing pensions at more than 100000.
He says they may number 225,OOO.
II the proportion of widows to sur
vivors is as great as was the propor-
ton of widows to survivors at the cor
responding dates after the Mexican
War, there are probably few more
than 100000 widows of Civil War vet
erans who are not now drawing pen
sions.
1t is difficult to estimate what pro-
portion of the survivors are sixty-two
years old or more, but 1t Is quite prob
able that enough are Of that age to
bring the total of new pensioners, in
Guiding the widows, up to about 3OO.-

IT'S A MISTAKE.
To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor
Grades Of Coffee.

To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor
Grades Of Coffee.
Many people lay all the blame for
the diseases caused by coffee upon
the poorer grades of coffee but this is
an error as the following proves: Il
have used every kird OF the best
grade of tea ard coffee that can be
got from first class grocer but never
found one that would not upset my
nervous system and it was not until |
began to drink Postum Food Coffee
In place OF coffee ana tea that l had
relief from the terrific attacks OF
nervous sick headache from which |
lad suffered for 80 years.
IL had tried all kinds Of medicines
but none helped me.
Soon after stopped drinking cof-
fee and began to drink Postum the
headaches grew less and it was not
long until l was entirely cured and
| have never had a return of this dis
tressing trouble for nowadays l never
drink coffee but stick to Postum.
''As soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum had done for me sh, gave n7
coffee, which she had drank all her
life. This was six weeks ago and
she is a changed woman, for her ner-
vousness has all disappeared and her
face has become smooth and her
cheeks have good rosy red color.
She sleeps well, too. something she
could never do while she drank cof-
fee. We consider Postum a house

induced many friends to try this
