AoCrainfo-1o

SANTA ROSA, June 26.-As a re-
suit of an encounter with an irate hus-
band, William Peatross lies sorely
wounded in the County Hospital, suf-
fering from gunshot wounds that may
be fatal. s. Sims, who inflicted the
injuries, has been arrested and his
preliminary examination will be held
on July 5.
The shooting is said to have been
caused by Peatross' attempt to become
unduly friendly with Mrs. Sims on
Saturday night, when he was a guest
of her husband. 1t is said that Sims
and his wife met Peatross by chance,
and that's the latter. representing that
he was a brother of William Dixon, an
old friend of the family, was readily
invited to the house. During the even
ing, it is alleged by Sims, Peatross'
conduct was so Objectionable that he
was elected bodily from the place.
Sims declares that his guest attempted
to draw weapon, and it was when he
feared that he would be shot that he
fired. Peatross is wounded in the
right shoulder and his lower jaw is
torn away by buckshot.

Work, on the San Antonio Mission to
Be Shown by Lantern Views.
BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS.

The annual pilgrimage of Landmarks
Antonio de Padua, Monterey County,
where work of restoration is in pro-
gress on the ancient sanctuary, was
this year a joy! And the distinction
between this year and last was that
last year the league made promises
this year the promises are being made
good And therefore was there joy in
the hearts of the simple folk for whom
the mission was reared century since,
and correlative JOY in the hearts Of
the Landmarks people that their uphill
efforts were bearing fruit.
The league was organized In May,
1902. representative from the Native
Sons, Native Daughters, Daughters Of
Club, the Association Of Pioneer Wo-
men. the Women's Press Association,
the Society of California Pioneers, the
Young Mems Institute, the Sons Of
Veteran Firemen and the Teachers
Club responding to the invitation to
send representatives to the first meet
ing. Now, that first meeting viii live
long in the memories OF the moving
spirits of that night-there were patri-
otic speeches from noted men and wo-
men, reproaches for the apathy OF our
forebears in their neglect Of the most
precious historic heirlooms OF America
and impaSsioned promises of unfalter-
ing devotion to the cause until Califor-
MIA should no longer be reproached for
her passive crime. But, alas! impas-
stoned words of their own fire are
oftimes consumed! That must be what
happened, because the seats Of the
loudest orators knew them no more.
But there were others-others who qui-
city walked up, signed the rolls, paid
their dollar for the years dues (Which
little formality, by the way, was quite
overlooked by the orotund oratorS) and
who have attended meetings, commit
tee or general. full of enthusiasm and
helpfulness without default. 1t is due
to them, the earnest workers, that the
objects of the league are in a fair way
to be realized. q
On Wednesday night The league will
celebrate its second birthday as an in
corporation, on which occasion the an
nual election will take place. The meet
ing will be held at the Mark Hopkins
Institute of Art, to which friends Of
the cause are welcome President

ing the work already accomplished at

pie, trusting and faithful-loving God

POSTUM CEREAL.
COFFEE CATARRH
An Unsuspected Cause.

II is curious how many diseases come
from a disordered nervous system
which locates disease In some part of
the body and the primary cause can
often be traced to coffee, which first
breaks down the nervous system. A
Georgian says:
There is no doubt coffee gave me
nasal catarrh. The septum in nv nose
was all gone and the catarrh was eat
ing it's way, getting hold Of the main
bone Of the nose. 1t also affected NV
sight very much.
My nose was constantly drinnine
bloody water. but in two weeks time
after ] quit coffee and used Postum
Food Coffee in its place I could see nv
way very well. the dripping from my
nose stopped and my nose finally got
perfectly well and healthy as far as is
possible for the septum TO grow back.
There is no doubt it was a case of
coffee catsrrh and the cure was made
entirely by changing from coffee to
Postum. The rest Of my family took
up the new drink and Postum relieved
my wife and little boy of frequent
headaches, and what is called coffee
headache is not known in our family
any more. Our sleep is so much more
refreshing.
We have Influenced many people to
try Postum and all OF them like it bet
ter the longer they use II, and most Of
them say IL is better than coffee. -

coffee often works wonders. There's a
reason.
