LIKE A FLASH
came a ii. I'd Knock From Coffee.

It's a simple matter to satisfy sensi-
BILE thinking people by a 10 days trial
of Postum in place of coffee for if it is
coffee causes the illness, an almost i'm
mediate change takes place. The old
coffee ails. sluggishness, insomnia, lack
of energy. stomach troubles. sallow
skin, headaches, and all the others,
whatsoever form the nerves decide upon,
when they are thrown out Of balance
by coffee, begin to leave and it's only a
question of a short time when Postum
will end them all and bring back health.
II had drank coffee every morning in
and out of season until two years ago
when all of a sudden my stomach re-
belled and shortly thereafter I became
a nervous wreck, couldn't eat a bite
without intense suffering. lost most all
my flesh and was practically starving
because couldn't get any good out of
what little food did eat.
zone morning when in this wretched-
ly run down condition I read a maya
zine article about Postum Food Coffee
and the case seemed SO much like mine
sent out and got a package At that
time almost nothing would stay on my
stomach but the first cup of Postum
wife made for me seemed to warm and
nourish me clear to my finger tips and
this delightful glow of well fed feeling
continued For the first five or six days
the Postum was all could keep on my
stomach or even take at all without
great suffering, but I got better so fast
I added other foods gradually and kept
gaining strength and flesh until now /
can eat a hearty meal and really enjoy
life once more. I know it was Postum
that saved me from starving to death
when my stomach had been ruined by
coffee.
Il know lots of folks don't make
Postum right but it takes only Is min
utes boiling to make it perfect accord

ATCHISON JAIL RIOT.
Mutinous Prisoners Compel Sheriff to
Shoot Fatally.

Atchison, Sept. 26.-Four prisoners in
the county Jail here, Walter Scott.
Thomas Bean. Clyde Bean and John
Osborn, made a desperate attempt to
break Jail at 1 o'clock Sunday after
noon, when Joseph Miller, the jailer,
took their dinner to them. The at
tempt was a failure, and Scott was
killed outright.
Thomas and Clyde Bean are broth
ers. Scott, Osborn and the Bean broth
ers were in hiding when Joseph Miller,
the jailer, entered the jail with the
dinner for the prisoners. They pounc-
ed upon Miller and tried to overpower
him. They failed to do this, although
two of the men held Miller's right hand
and the other two beat him, one of
them striking him with an immense
paddock. One of the men got Millers
keys. but he fought his assailants to
the Jail door and stood there defending
the door with his body and striking
with his left hand. He knocked Scott
down and kept the other three men so
busy that they did not have time to
get the key in the outer door.
The men tried to get Miller's gun,
but it was not in his back trousers
pocket where they felt Finally, Miller
threw off the two men who were hold
ing his right hand, and drew his re-
vOlver from his front trousers pocket,
where the men had not felt for it.
Thereupon the four prisoners scat
tered.
Sheriff William Kiff appeared at this
juncture with a riot shot gun. Miller
had recovered his keys and he let Kiff
into the Jail room. The four prison
ers had hidden somewhere in the
room, and Kih called upon them to
come out and surrender. Suddenly
the four men appeared and rushed at
Kiff and Miller with the evident OBJ
ject of getting possession of the
weapons.
Kif called on Scott, who was in
the lead, to halt He did not do SO,
and when Scott was within a few feet,
Kiff fred pointblank and the charge
entered SCOTS heart, killing him in
stantly- The other prisoners instantly
gave up.
Scott, whose identity is unknown, is
the most desperate criminal ever con-
fined in the county Jail Fifteen years
ago he made a similar attempt to break
penitentiary for burglary. The attempt
failed, although Scott and an
other prisoner beat John Colgan, the
jailer, until ne was almost dead. This
time Scott was under sentence to the
penitentiary for attempted highway
robbery. Frank c. Moore and John
SchrieVer of Kansas City. are under
sentence for the same crime.
Walter and Clyde Bean are natives Of
Jefferson county, Kansas, but for some
years have been living in Kansas City.

MORE DRASTIC INFRINGEMENT
Rock Island Railroad Has Closed
Shawnee, Okla, Shops.

Shawnee, Ok, Sept. 26-Railroad and
business circles in Shawnee have been
somewhat exercised over the receipt CT
an order at the master mechanics office
instructing him to close the shops in
Shawnee until further orders. This will
apply to all that part of the plant here
except the car repairing shops. the OFFICES
and the round house, and means tne en-
forced idleneSs for time at least OF 5e0
or 400 men Absolutely no details or ex-
plantations of the causes leading up to the
order for the shut down have been re-
ceived, although il is reasonably certain
that it is a part of the Rock Island ; gen
eral plan of rigid retrenchment all along
the line.
Only few weeks ago every shop on
the line was closed for a definite time,
and the shops here had lately reopened
with an increased number of men, and
it is hoped that the suspension CT work
this time is only temporary The air Is
full of rumorS that the Rock Island is
about to sell the property and that the
officials of the Illinois Central are now
comforting with the officials of the Rock
Island at Little Rock for the purpose OF
securing an inventory of the road None
of these rumorS have any official backing,
but it is evident that something in the
way of important changes is brewing and
the Choctaw may yet fall into hands that
will be interested in building up the 70 76
instead of exploiting it in the interest OF
of lines.

Register. a weekly published in this
city. has sworn out a warrant before
a justice Of the peace. charging Frank
Greer, owner and proprietor of the
State Capital, with assault with intent
to murder. The warrant followed
conference between Greer and Golobie
in private room on the upper floor
OF the Royal saloon. during which Co
lobe signed a statement retractfng a
series OF articles appearing in the Reg
lister in which Greer's personal char
acter was attacked in scathing terms
Golobie alleges that he was forced
to sign the rsrractiOn at the uuZZle
hand. declares that Golobie placed his
signature to the document willingly,
admitted frankly that he had mali
clouSly lied and that II was all tran
Sacted in a cheerful manner.
The retraction contained about l.
GOO words The two editors left the
Royal hotel lobby apparently with bet
ter teel1ng than they have recently
had for each other They were in the
secluded room about twenty-five min
utes, when Golobie appeared in the
bar room and very excitedly demanded
a revolver. with the statement that
Greer was trying to kill him. He ran
out and Greer appeared a moment
later. perfectly calm. and when asked
ing at all"
GoIobie got out a special edition of
MS paper the first page of which con-
tanned his side of the story. He also
printed the article he signed In the
reIractOn. GOlObie appears to admit
that he lied about every material thing
he had published in reference to
Greer; that he is a tramp. low and
Jealous: that he owes his very exist
ence to Cfreer's benevOlence: that
Greer is an honorable man and a use
ful citizen; and that; 81 write this
out of the fullness of my heart and
without any compulsion; for even a
self-confessed failure, misanthrope and
Nihilist can AFFORD once to be honest
with himself and other people
In his paper, Golobie had stated
among numerous other things, that
Greer burned his own newspaper
building three years ago; that he had
pillaged Logan county; that ne had
beaten the heirs of an estate out of
$4,000 Each of the foregoing state
ments is enumerated in the retrac tion
and after each GoIobie is made to say
he lied. There is intense excitement
over the affair.
Greer say she does not fear the re-
blum OF GOlobie's- q had no revolver;
never carry one said Greer. Go
lobe admitted frankly that he had
He'd. and declared himself ready and
glad to set matter right. He read the
full article and signed il deliberately
Golobie. on the other hand, says he
signed the statement with muzzle of a
revolver within an inch of his face. and
that he was told if he ever used Greer's
name again it would mean instant
death
There were two of the retraction
copies. the original and the duplicate
Golobie signed both and retained the
duplicate.

HIS MIND GONE.
Long Suffering Has Brought Disaster
to Ex-Speaker Henderson.

Des Moines. Ia, Sept. 26.-Ex-S speaker
speaker of the national house of repre-
sentauives, is very i'll at his home i'll
Dubuque. and even his best friends sre
denied audience with him. 1t is the
fear that permanent loss of memory
will be the fate of the once brilliant
man.
The fact that the memory of the law
.yer-statesman is nearly spent leaked
out several weeks ago, when some poll
ticians visited him at his home with
request that he take the stump in the
interest of the Republican party. He
failed to recognize the men VINO visit
ed him, although several had been life
long friends and party associates for
years
Mr. Henderson's family has closely
guarded the secret of his increasing
forgetfulness, although it is now be-
lieved that their realization of the fact
that his memory was failing caused
him to decline to serve as speaker for
another term His political friends,
true to him, with his Relatives, kept
the secret as long as possible. Now
that the long guarded secret has be-
come public. both family and friends
admit it's authenticity.
The weakness, according to the
physicians who have fought calamity
to preserve the mind of the ex-speak-
err is caused by long suffering, occa-
stoned by leg amputation made
necessary by a wound received in the

sort of service it thinks the road is
giving its patrons. The Argus states
that the train was pulle doff after the

when no protests We're heard the
management felt that the people took
no interest in the road whatever. The
Argus says there was a time when
the morning passenger service was in

the officials combined the freight and
passenger traffic and now instead OF
the train being an hour or two late
it is delayed at EdgertOn Junction and
seldom reaches Platte City until noon
Regarding a probable remedy the
Argus says:
The thing for the people of Platte cSiy
and other towns on this line to do Is 70

In the country as a writer, but nature
doesn't give men the ability to write
as Mr. White can and make a speech
also Here is the story of Mr. Whites
speech as he reprints it from the
Wichita Star:
white is built like a Missouri bar
tender, and handles himself with far
less grace. He mumbles his words, re-
peats and shutters. He evidently had
sent his ideas c. o. d. and couldn't get
them delivered He talked like man
with a mouth full of hot tanales, and
those who did not leave the hall in
disgust, left their places for places far
Their front, laboring under the halluci-
nation that White was saying some
thing if they could only make out what
it was.
the intelligent reporter for the morn
ing paper read fairly we'll, but as deliv-
cred was a fright. Chose who cannot
see the funny side have been apologize
lows, though think it a good joke.
White has q. reputation as a writer, and
IS brilliant man with his pen, but
that gives him no license to imagine
himself an orator. He can't express
himself. He ought to have sent his
speech here by freight, and had some
body read it for him Be it said to his
credit that he knows he is a frost He
admitted he would have gone out long
before such a speech had been finished
had he been a member of the audience.
He insists, however, that he Will be-
come an orator. He may There have
been miracles. But no more prac-
ticing goes herei Our people will get
an injunction, or call out the shotgun
brigade, if he attempts to impose on
US again.
There was one redeeming feature
of the evening. 1t was Governor
Stanley's fine sarcasm. The governor
was called on after White shut off, to
see if he couldn't take the bad taste
out of the crowds mouth
There is one good thing about the
meeting. The Republicans can stand
it. 1t will take more than one frost

year
