while the siege lasted. 81 e
The origin of the trouble was trivial.
Sims occupied a room Gin the boarding
house in which there were seven beds.
On retiring last night he locked the door
and when the landlord early this morn

ledger might be admitted, Sims refused.
Then the landlord sent for the police.
Efforts to persuade Sims to open the door
failed and a, hole was smashed in it..
Through the aperture Sims shot a pistol
out of one hand aud a lantern QUITE Of the
other of Officer Windstein, who tried to
enter. Tllereupoil additional police were

COMMITTEE PLACES
What the Minnesota Delegation Is
80 After = b. .-r-.

! Washington, Feb. 20.--At a meeting OF
the Minnesota delegation late yesterday.
| 1t was decided that each member shall
paddle his own canoe. This does not
mean that the Minnesota members will
refuse to assist one another but simply
/ that each individual shall first look out
for his own interests. In one respect,
however, the delegation does not depart
from the unit rule. The assignments de-
sired by the several members Of the del
egation are so scattered that II each indi-
vidual Is half way successful, the state
will have representation on nearly every
important committee. The only develop
ment Of the meeting is the possibility that
the committee on rules, the domino ting
force over legislation in the house. will
probably be enlarged in the next congress.
III this is done, Minnesota will proba bly,
be represented on this most important
committee by Representative James A.
Tawney. "
The sentiment Of the delega ton as de-
veloped is about as follows: Representa-
tive Stevens Is willing to relinquish mer-
chant marine for the Interstate comm cree
committee; Representative McCleary is
inclined to give UP labor and devote his
time to library and appropriations: Rep
resentative Tawney would willingly relin-
quish insuler affairs for place on rules.
The committee desired by the new re-
cruits are as follows: Steenerson. judi
ctary or Indian affairs; Davis, postoffces
and post roads; Bede, rivers and harbors:
Volstead,, agriculture and public lands,
and Buchanan District of Columbia.
| John Lind desires a, place on the demo-
cratic end of the Judiciary. which has
six vacancies on the republican side. but
! there is only one democratic vacancy. and
Lind probably stands better chance of
securing this assignment than STEVENSON
does for getting a republican place.

CAR OVERLOADED.
Cause Of the Terrible Accident at
Newark. -.

Newark. N. j., Feb. 20.-The trolley ac-
cident yesterday happened within three
blocks of the high school building and in
the. car at the time were nearly one
hundred pupils AS many as thirty others
had managed to throw themselves from
the car before the crash came. The troll
ley had more than it's ordinary load. owing
to the cold. 1t contained every child that
could squeeze inside and others stood on
the rear platform. Because this car had
been 50 crowded many who were waiting
for, it before the hill was reached could
not get on. although some clmbd on the
front platform with the nlotorn1an. "A
score or more children we're compelled to
walk. and they followed the car afoot.
They say that when the car was still less
than half way down the hill the railroad
gates began to drop. Peter Brady, the
motorn1an promptly shut off the power
and applied the brakes. The speed Of the
car was checked. but it continued to move
slowly down the incline. There was no
thought of danger. Then it began to NOV e
faster and faster. The ice-covered rails
afforded no hold for the wheels. and al
though Brady damned his brake harder
and then swung on the reverse the mo-
mentum of the car grew at every yard,
and the car shot down toward the rail-
road. When it was right at the gates the
express numbered into view. Warned by
the cries of those afoot and by their own
sense Of danger those Oh the platforms
began to throw themselves off into the
snow, and as the, car sped along the few
remaining feet toward theE rails perhaps
one third escaped death or injury in this
way. 49, -

AN ENDLESS CHAIN -
That's What 1t Looks like to Coffee
Topper.

The training nurse has a hard task in
deed during the long, lonesome hours Of
the night when she must keep watch and
1t Is hardly to be wondered at that many
of them fall into the use Of stimulants
when I first entered the profession y
writes a trained nurse of Kansas City
Mo-. Il was required to give my patient
most careful watching and during the
long, sleepless nights I used to refresh
myself every now and then with a cup Of
strong coffee.
For time it would seem to revive me-
but unless + took another cup my condi-
ton was worse than ever. In time be-
came extremely nervous and my strength
failed me. but a sister nurse came to my
relief by telling me her own experience
She said. I have been just where you
arc now. on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton. but If you will do as did you can
be restored to perfect health. II you will
give up your coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee. your strength will return and your
nerves be rebuilt. Upon her advice i'm :
mediatey quit coffee and began to use
OF Postum Food Coffee and what a
change!
st has been two years now since I
commenced Postum, and notwithstanding
the days and nights Of hard work which
come to every nurse, find 1 am strong
in every way and feel ready to live my
allotted three score and ten Postum is
good friend to me and I have tried to
be a good friend to Postum in return and
many of my nervous patients have been
greatly benefited by its use.
) zone of these cases I will mention
briefly. The patient was newspaper
editor, and his condition was such that the
doctors were afraid to let him be left
alone. made Postum for him and made
it good. He was delighted with it and
quit coffee entirely and it was not long
before he completely recovered, is now
strong physically and mentally. and has
resumed his editorial duties know the
