A BACK LICK
Settled the Case with Her.

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better than
gold mines have been found in this way,
for example when even the accidental
discovery that coffee is the real cause OF
ones sickness proves of most tremeu-
dous value because it locates the cause
and the person has then chance to get
well.
For over 25 years" says a Missouri
woman Il suffered untold agonies inmy
stomach and even the best physicians
disagreed as to the cause without giving
me any permanent help, different ones
saying it was gastritis, indigestion, neu-
Talgia, etc, so l dragged along from
year to year, always half sick, until
finally gave up all hopes of ever being
well again.
When taking dinner with a friend
one day she said she had a new drink
which turned out to be Postum and
liked it so well | told her thought
would stop coffee for awhile and use it,
which did.
so for three months we had Postum
in place of coffee without ever having
one of my old spells but was always
healthy and vigorous instead.
Husband kept saying he was con.
WINGED it was coffee that caused those
spells, but even then wouldn't believe
it until one day we got out of Postum
and as We lived two miles from town
thought to use the coffee we had in the
house
1.-The result of a weeks use of coffee
again was that | had another terrible
spell of agony and distress proving that
it was the coffee and nothing else. That
settled it and l said good bye to Coffee
forever and since then Postum alone has
been our hot mealtime drink.
MY friends all say | am looking
worlds better and my complexion is
much improved. All the other members
of our family have been benefited, too
by Postum in place Of the old drink, cof.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Most unfavcrabIe Factor in the

The Most unfavcrabe Factor in the
Situation Is the Strike of the Pack
ing House Employees.
New York, July 1G.-R. G. Dun e
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade conditions were gradually be
coming more normal after the conclu-
sion of political conventions, when a
new disturbing factor appeared in the
strike of packing house employees and
allied trades. This enhanced prices of
meats and added many thousands to
he already large army of unemployed,
weakening the purchasing power of
he people still further. Aside from
his unfavorable development, the
lews of the week contained much en-
couragement Crop prospects improv-
ed and the general level of prices for
farm products promises a large re-
urn to agriculturists, which means
Better business for all industries
Confidence grows with the crops,
retailers showing more disposition to
prepare for the future as the season
advances with no serious setback to
the farms. A few manufacturing lines
are more active, although there is still
much idleness at the shops and mills,
and pig iron output for July will be
smaller than any recent month. Re
ports of increased plans for erection
of buildings are not accompanied by
noteworthy expansion in demand for
structural material as yet.
Railway earnings for the first week
Of July are only 6 per cent. less than
last year, and foreign trade at this
port showed gains of $3.50, ,2S6 in ex-
ports and $1,90G,724 in imports, as
compared with the corresponding
week year ago.
Failures this week numbered 225 in
The United States, against 2l3 last
year, and 20 in Canada, compared
with 16 a year ago.

story of the murder of Sohn Van Cor
1er and his half-s sister, Anna Farm
ham, at the Van Gorder homestead
near Angelica on the night of May 3.
was told on the witness stand Friday
by Giuseppe Versacia, one of their
slayers. Varsaca made a desperate
effort, by putting the brunt of the
crime on Antonio Giorgia, who was
convicted Thursday, to secure life
sentence, but the jury found him
guilty of murder in the first degree.
While the jury was out Antonio Gior-
gia was sentenced to death and Yer

BULLETS FOR THREE.
A Buffalo Man Kills His Wife and
Daughter and Suicides.

Buffalo, n. Y, July lG.-One of the
most shocking tragedies that ever oc-
Cured in this city came to light Fri
day when the dead bodies of Edgar T.
Washburn, a member of the grain
firm of Heathfeld & Washburn on the
board of trade Washburn's wife and
his daughter Gladys, Is years old,
were found in a bedroom of their
home at SO Putnam street, this city.
Mr.. Washburn had shot and killed
his wife and daughter and then turned
the weapon upon his own head and
killed himself. II is believed the deed
was committed while Mr.. Washburn
was suffering from temporary fit of
insanity. He had written letter to a
relative recently, saying he was hav-
ing troubles in business. As far as is
known the members of the family
had not had any trouble among them
selves.

When the convention reassembled
in the afternoon the startling an
nouncement was whispered around
that sensation was to be sprung
upon the convention at the eleventh
hour. 1t developed that Judge Parke"
had telegraphed his views upon
finance in which he declared for the
gold standard and suggesting that
the convention should know this fact
that 1t might be given an opportunity
to select some one else for the party
nominee should his view not be in
accord with those of the delegates.
After a short session recess was
taken until 80 d. m.
At the evening session John S. Will
liams, of Mississippi said: "Mr.
Chairman and Gentlemen of the con-
vention: All of us were very much
surprised and excited this afternoon,
to use no stronger words, at what
purported to be copies of kilograms
which had been sent by our nominee
TO Mr.. Carmack and others in this
city. | want to tell you that but one
telegram has been received. A tele-
gram has come from Mr. Parker to
Mr. Sheehan which | shall read in
moment and it is so important that
you should know what it is. After
| have read it, | shall hand it to my
friend, the governor of my state, Mr..
Nardaman. and have him read it over
again. When you shall have heard it,
you will note that there is not in it
one word about requiring or demand
ing, or asking. or requesting that any
thing should be placed in the demo
cratic platform. You will also note
that, if there is any error in it at all
il is an error of Judgment proceeding
from too sensitive spirit of honor"
Mr.. Williams words were heard in
a silence so deep, so intense, that
notwithstanding his weakened voice,
his every word was distinctly audible
in all parts of the hall. He then hand
ed the message to Gov Nardaman,
who read the telegram
A long discussion followed, partici-
pated in by Senator Tillman, Mr..
Bryan, Senator Daniel and others. 1t
was finally voted to send the follow
ing telegram to Judge Parker:
THE platform adopted by this con-
ventiOn is silent on the question of the
monetary standard, because it is not
regarded by us as a possible issue in
this campaign and only campaign is
sues were mentioned in the platform.
Therefore, there is nothing in the
views expressed by you in the tele-
gram just received which would pre-
clude a man entertaining them from
accepting a nomination on said plat
form"

leaders in the afternoon

LOSS NEARLY 100000.
Tornado of Fire Swept Over Ware
houses and Docks at Duluth.


Duluth, Mimi, July 16-Four hun
dred thousand dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed Friday afternoon
at the docks and warehouses of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &c
Omaha Railroad Co and one man, a
cook named George Smith, on the tug
Abbott, was drowned in an attempt to
make his escape from the craft as the
flames swept over it from the docks.
The fire started in the northeast
corner of the building and swept
through the long sheds like a tornado,
taking everything that stood in its
path. In three minutes after the
flames were discovered almost the en-
tire length of the sheds was a fiery
furnace. 1t was the most disastrous
fire witnessed in Duluth in years and
the most spectacular.
Losses entailed in the fire are esti-
mated as follows by the officials of
the interested companies:
George NJ. Smith, general agent,
places the value of the contents of the
freight shed at 100000 or more, and
the value of the shed itself at $4,000
Two hundred tons of package freight
had been taken from the steamer
Muncy just previous to the fire, which
is not included in the estimate. Man
ager Inman, of the tug company,
values the tugs, which he thinks will
be an almost total loss, at $4,000 for
the Inman; $4,000 for the Excelsior
and S10,0 for the Abbott. In addi-
tion to this was the damage to ten
Northwestern freight cars, amounting
to $1,000.

SUSPENDERS AND SUSPENSE
What Uncle Sam Needs the Former
For as Stated by a Hating
Speaker.

A certain congressman from mountain
district, says the New York Sun, is trou-
bled with weak, squeaky little voice,
which sometimes fails in the midst of
what might otherwise be an eloquent per-
Grafton.
Recently in addressing the house on a
matter connected with tariff he ex-
claimed:
why, tariffs are like pair of suspen.
ders, sometimes tight and sometimes loose !;
but Uncle Sam needs them just the same,
to keep up his"
Here the congressman's voice struck a
high treble note, tared and stopped.
The house held its breath while he
cleared his throat. The suspense. which
seemed to last for fully minute, was
more painful to the auditors than to the
orator, for everyone was wondering
whether he would say trousers" or
pants and some were even hoping that
lac might say pantaoons.' Even over.
nlls would be better than pants" for
pants IS most unpariamentary.
But all fears We're without foundation.
lie cleared his throat with the greatest
care, and in a death-lilia stiffness resumed
