HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children Be-
cause They Are Healthy.

Right Food Makes Happy Children Be-
cause They Are Healthy.
Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing
is true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an Neutrality-suspicious., no matter
how weak the stomach can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two Of
Grape Nuts poured in, and such COM
hination contains nourishment to carry
one a number of hours, for almost
every particle of it will be digested
and taken up by the system and be-
made use Of.
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the mockingbird way
down in Alabama, and says: I was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two well-known physicians
for my children, and I feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
milk does not agree with either
child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, give Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. It agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly, although she is of consti-
pated habit.
"For the youngest, aged two and
one-half years, I use one-half Postum
and one-half skinned milk. l have
not given any medicine since the chill
dren BEGAN using Postum, and they.
enjoy every drop of it.
"a neighbor of mine is giving
Postum to her baby lately weaned.
with splendid results. The little fellow
is thriving famously." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with chill
dren and supplies adults with the hot,
invigorating beverage in place Of cot
fee. Literally thousands of Americans
have been helped out of stomach and
nervous diseases by leaving off coffee
and using Postum Food Coffee Look

KILLED BY GREASER.
Dan Trump, Formerly of Wisconsin,
Victim of a Greaser's
Pistol

La Crosse, Wis, Dee. 3-[Special.] J.
Dan Trump Of this city, one Of the best
known card men in the west, is dead at
Mexico City, Mexico, having been shot
by a desperate who charged Trump with
having tricked him at cards. Trump is
the man who was suspected of having
killed J. Lleywellen of Watertown a few
years ago in a deal similar to the one
in which Trump himself is said to have
been shot.
Trump at that time lived at Wilton,
conducting a hotel, and Lleywellen had
been playing cards with him, and was
later found dead. Trump succeeded in
clearing himself at the preliminary ex-
animation, which was held at Sparta.
Killed by Greaser.
The news of Trumps death comes in
a letter to John Eerrigan Of this city
Trump and several greasers were in a
card game, when Trump was accused of
manipulating the cards. Guns were
drawn and Trump covered the man
across the table. a greaser friend Of the
man Trump was aiming at applied a re-
volver to Trump's head and killed him in
stantly.
On account of the Mexican law the
body cannot be sent to the United States
until the expiration of a year, when he
will probably be buried at Sparta.
His Last Dollar to Poor.
After the Lleywellen scrape Trump
moved here, but was compelled to close
south. He was a man who would give
his last dollar to the poor and had made
many friends here, who are trying to
confirm the report by wire.

MANY DIVORCES HEARD
IN JUDGE CARRIERS COURT
Ethel May McCarty Is Given a
Decree and One Thousand
Dollars Alimony.
LOCAL COURTS GRIND

Yesterday was divorce day in Judge Car
ter's court. and about thirty cases. includ-
ing all the allegations that warrant a di-
vorce, were heard. Most of them, however,
charged either cruel and inhuman treat
ment or desertion. One of the most prom
inent cases tried was that of Ethel May
McCarty. a niece of J. r. Henry. former
president of the State Bank of this city,
against Curtis L. McCarty, formerly a
school teacher of Owen county.
McCarty did not appear in court, and his
wife who is good-looking little woman of
twenty-four, told the court that she and
her husband were reared on adjoining farms
in Owen county and were married on Sept.
4, 1901. They began housekeeping on a farm
owned by the father of Mrs. McCarty.
Eight weeks after the wedding Mrs. Nc
Carly said her husband kissed her and said
he was going to look after some business
for her father, and left the house Mrs
McCarty said he had never returned home,
but she had heard of number of instances
where her husband had posed as an un-
women. McCarty is now working in coal
mine in southern Indiana. Mrs. McCarty
was granted q divorce and $1,000 alimony.
William Daily was denied a divorce from
his wife Dora because he failed to show
sufficient grounds upon which to base a
decree. Daily told the court that his wife
udu the ndDll OF going out III the evening
by herself and leaving her little children
1t was brought out in the trial that little
son, Francis +. Daily, had stolen guam
tity of soap and other articles from freight
cars of the Big Four Railway, and that his
mother had bought the stolen goods from
him. The boy was tried for the offense in
the Juvenile Court last October and put on
probation under Father Helpin, of Holy
Cross Church.
Judge Carter also denied Claude r. De-
naree, a tailor, of this city, a divorce from
his wife, Edith M. Demaree, because suf-
ficient grounds were not shown. The plain
tiff said that his wife had frequently struck
him, and had sold the furniture at various
times. Mrs. Demaree made no charges
against her husband. She told the court
that she could not live with her husband,
but the court thought that without any
reason being assigned he could not grant
divorce.
Lonetta Tirtle was granted divorce from
John w. Tirtle, and was given the custody
of three children, aged eight, ten and thir-
teen years, respectively. Mrs. Tirtle said
that her husband got drunk and abused her,
knocking her down on one occasion and
finally deserving her. Tirtle did not appear
in court TO make defense.

BROWN HOTEL MUST Be
SOLD TO PAY OFF DEBTS
Heirs of Jane c. Brown Estate De
feated in an Attempt to Hold
Property.
LONG, BITTER CONTEST

DENVER, Col, Feb. 1.-James NJ. Brown
and his father Henry c. Brown, have been
defeated in their long and bitter fight with
the New York Life Insurance Company
and other creditors of the Jane c. Brown
estate. over the right to dispose they
saw fit, Of the Brown Hotel and other vast
interests belonging TO the estate. The
Supreme Court to-day handed down its de-
cision in the famous case. The decree Of
the County Court, which in favor Of
the Browns, is reversed, the foreclosure
proceedings in reference to a large portion
of the Brown property are abrogated and
the case remanded.
The principal point involved was whether
other property bequeathed by the will of
Jane c. Brown could be sold to satisfy in
cumbrances on the Brown Palace Hotel.
The County Court said it could. The
Supreme Court decided that If incum-
brances on the hotel are to be satisfied, they
must not be paid off from the proceeds of
the sale of other property. In brief, the
Brown Hotel must be sold TO settle it's own
membranes.

MR.. GROUNDING WILL
COME FORTH TO-DAY

If the grounding watches his chances
to-day he will be able to come out of his
hole and go back again without seeing
his shadow, according to a statement given
out by Weatherman Blythe yesterday. Mr..
Blythe says that to-day will be partly
cloudy and it is up to the grounding to
prove that he appreci es that IL he does
not act prudently he might cause the price
of coal to go up and force the good citi-
zens of Indianapolis TO buy 1t at an exorbi-
tant figure for six weeks longer To those
who are forced to use ton OF coal or more
a week, it is hoped that the grounding
will be especially kind and that as soon as
the face of old Sol Is covered, he will rush
out and back again without stopping to
play in order that he may cause the quick
advent of spring.
