drunk much of the time that he mis-
treated patients who were helping him.
and that he was discharged two or three
times but was reinststed through some

ments. He says nothing about the al
legation concerning his cOnviVial inclin-
ations, but he denies that he ever mis-
treated any patients or that he was dis
charged. He makes the following state
ment to the State Journal:
The complaint made against me that
abused patients in the asylum is false.
1 never abused a patient during the
twenty-five months / was there. I
handled from four to si.Sof the inmates
every day While I wass Mt work about
the institution. and sG<|e of the mean
est patients they could put to work with
me. l never had any trouble with
them. And as far as Mr.. Mason is con-
cerned, he was very careless man
around the institution
LAS far as being discharged: I never
and waited two days to get a settle
ment. Then I went right out to the re-
form school and went to work The fol-
lowing spring Mr.. Biddle sent for me.
Offering me two dollars a day and we
couldn't agree on the price, so I worked
at the reform school the following
spring till last fall. l was not dis
from there. If Mr. Mason
wants to follow this up guess he amt

Punish an Assassin.

Lexington, Ky, May u.-Since the
arrest Of Curtis Jett in Madison county
Sunday morning. charged with the muir
der Of J. B. Marcum. a grave problem
confronts the prosecution which may
require special session of the legisla-
ture to solve. Under the law Jett would
be taken back to Jackson. the scene Of
the crime, for trial. He has asked to be
taken to Jackson, and will therefore
have to go If he goes to Jackson it is
commended that the feeling is such that
justice would be defeated A well de-
fined movement is on foot to delay the
removal of Jet to Jackson until it is
ascertained what steps can be taken to
avoid IL under the law. If the law offers
no relief it is stated here that the gov.
ernor will be asked to call a special ses~
sion OF the legislature to change the
law.

POOR Dominic
Between the Devil and the Deep Sea.

A clergyman Of Gresham. Neb., who
drank coffee for many years suffered
from chronic insomnia and from terrific
headaches when he quit coffee. He says:
Il have been a very heavy user of cof-
fee for so long and have seen its ef-
fects so clearly that there is now no
doubt in my mind concerning its in
furious effects upon the nervous sys-
tenn.
While a coffee user was unable to
sleep for hours after retiring at night
and on the other hand terrific headaches
resulted if the regular hour for drink
ing coffee passed and I did not get it
so 1 was in q miserable position.
But 1 found 3 firm friend in Postum
Cereal Coffee and from the very time
that / adopted Postum all these evil
effects vanished 1 now enjoy sound
sleep and improved appetite and de-
cidedly clearer complexion and I am
convinced that better health and a
longer life would be the result Of its
general use. 1 have a friend who has
been a user of Postum for several years
ralgia Of the stomach simply by using
Postum in place of coffee seems almost
too wonderful to be true. Many times
she was near Deaths door and the doe
tors had frequently given her case up
as hopeless but she was entirely healed
BY leaving off coffee and using Postum.
It is a. pleasure to say these good things
about Postum. Name given by Pos
