WHISKEY VS.. COFFEE.
A Woman Experiments.


Some families have sad experiences
with whiskey. Probably twice as many
families have sickness and distress
caused by coffee and the cause not sus-
pected half the time.
A woman from Tacoma, Wash, says:
''One of our family had become so i'll
that the doctor finally pronounced him
incurable from enlarged liver. He rec
commended a sea voyage which might
prolong his life but said it was only
a question of time when he would die
from the disease.
He was dreadfully nervous, thin.
could not sleep at night, lost flesh and
strength daily and everything he ate or
drank soured on his stomach. He was
so weak and faint he could hardly
walk about.
1 finally came to the conclusion that
coffee made the mischief, so took coffee
away from him altogether: and next
morning gave him Postum Food Coffee
He steadily began to get better and has
never had a sour stomach from that
time. He now sleeps all night where
he used to suffer the agonies of death.
He has gained over twenty pounds an1

My little boy was given coffee at an
! early age and he began to have spells
of sickness at times. 1 did not suspect
the trouble until my experience with
Postum opened my eyes, then 1 took
, coffee away from him and gave him
Postum steadily. If you should see him
now and see how well and strong he is
! you would not believe it was the same
puny boy he was when he was drinking
! coffee.
! An acquaintance of ours carried
. Postum with him to the gold fields of
Alaska. He says he met some men up
tnefe who had run out of Postum and
could not drink coffee. They offered
MN as high as twenty dollars a pound
Ior the Postum. He said it was worth
Iorty dollars pound to him for it gave

any price until he could get more.

This is the only new development of
the day in the situation.
An day conference was held by
Grand Masters Hannahan and Norris

territory and the railroads. Members

Pacific and other roads not built under

because it contemplated a reduction of
the taxation of those roads, and a de-
erase in the revenues of these couE-
ties. This bill was constructed out Of
the II ost talked-of PLANK of the Tue
son platform, and it was introduced in
to the house early in the session.
The committee to which it had been
referred, was slow about making 4 re-

it was unfavo. a BILE. The announcement
of the report yesterday was followed
by motion for indefinite postpone

asked for a reconsideration of the

planned that he had no hope that such
a motion would prevail. His object was
to straighten the record. He said that

The warmest contest of the day came
up on House Bill No. 81. requiring
barber shops to be closed on Sundays
and holidays. The majority report of
the committee was favorable. The re-
port was followed by remonstrance
signed by E. w. Webster president of
the Arizona conference of Seventh Day
Adventists. Mr.. Webster's primary
objection was the recognition the bill
afforded Sunday as the Sabbath. He
contended that the bill was in conflict
with the bill of rights of Arizona and
the law into which it was proposed to
enact it would be unconstitutional. Mr.
Rowe believed such a law would be in

ELIGIBILITY OF
GOV. BECKHAM
To Succeed Himself Is to Be Tried in
the Courts.

Versailles, KY, March 6.-Judge Can
trill in Woodward circuit court this
afternoon overruled the demurrer of
Allie c. Young, chairman of the demo-
cratic state committee, to the petition
of Governor Beckham for mandamus
to compel Young and the democrat
committee to place his name on the
ballot to be voted for at the democratic
state primary on May as candidate
for governor. Young had refused to
place Beckham's name on the ballot
because of question raised as to his
eligibility.
Attorneys for the defendant immedi-
ately entered exceptions and an appeal
was granted to the court of appeals
The purpose of the procedure is to es-
tablish Beckham's eligibility to sue

O'Connell supported the bill on legal
grounds, and Messrs. Wolf and White
side opposed it on the same grounds.
Both sought to amend It, the former by
including saloons stores and hotels,
and the latter by making Monday In
stead of Sunday the day of rest. Both
amendments were declared to be out of
order.
Just before the bill went to a final
vote Mr.. st. Charles reminded tho
house that in all this controversy re-
garding the merit of the bill, the legal
phases and <he religious aspect of it

to the taking of appeals, was also pass

expenses of going to a higher court.
The freight bill was defeated, not on
account of a general opposition to it;

Damage at Fairhaven. Wash, Amount
ing to $4,000.

Structive fire occurred on the water
front this morning at 1 o'clock, COM
pletely destroying the Murchison saw
mill and the Hill Watson wharf. The
total loss is $4,000.
The fire started in the planning de-
partment of the Murchison mill, it is
supposed from a spark from the smoke
stack of Earle's mill near by. The mill
and wharf are a complete loss. The

two passenger coaches and one baggage
car destroyed. Both the tracks of the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa

HUNTING A COLLISION.

Pueblo, Colo, March 6.-The ST.
Louis limited train on the Missouri Pa
cific road which left Pueblo at 1:90 p.
m. was wrecked at Boone Station,
twenty miles east of here at o'clock
by running into a string OF stock cars
on the siding. Without warning and
without subsequent solution of the
cause, the engine wheels mounted the
frog, left the main line, and plunged
into the switch which, it is claimed,
had been properly set.
The engineer applied the brakes in
stantly and stuck to his post, but the
speed was but little reduced and the
collision was terrific. The passengers
were severely shaken up and several
injured. The engine was wrecked and
how the engineer and fireman escaped
death is a mystery. a number of stock
cars were splintered.

Miss Roosevelt went to New York early

before sailing today for Porto Rico. The
audience was a large one and Miss Roose-
welt had with her in the Astor box her
cousins, Miss Eleanor Roosevelt. Miss
Helen Roosevelt and her uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas Robinson. The two
largest staterooms on the ship were re-

Mrs. Wayne Macv eagh, Colonel John Jacob

Miss MacVeagh. the Duke and Duchess Of
Manchester, Mrs. Julien T. Davis and Mr..

laurel and cypress garlands, starred with
electric lights, and in the trees nearby

dinners, will have nothing to distinguish Ii

and goings Of the cabinet families and the
short trips in which most other prominent
movers in society indulge themselves at
this time make any general social event
impracticable. The wait for the Easter
gayeties seems a reasonable enough pro-
cedure, therefore, when so much may be
