A Springfield Woman's Letter


| A lady at Springfield, ILL.,, writes re-
| garding her coffee experience an inter-
esting letter from the home Of the great
president:
"A few years ago became so terribly
run down in health that made UP my
mind coffee had something to do with
| 1t, so gave it; up and drank Postum in
stead, since which time / have gained
steadily in health, strength and cheer
fulness. Life holds so much more than
1t did before.
Postum made it easy to give up cof-
fee asst will for everyone who makes
Postum according to the directions on
package. Postum and Grape Nuts
have been our steady diet for breakfast
for some years and nothing could ever
induce our family to return to the use
of coffee 1t is bilious in its tendency
making one yellow and morose and
very many citizens in this old home city
of the immortal Lincoln, who was a
great cold water man, have awakened
to this fact. Everywhere we see in
the grocery stores Postum and Grape
Nuts which means that there Is de-
mand for these pure, nourishing articles
and that the people are using them very
extensively. This augurs for health
and longer life and more usefulness.
II knew number who complained Of
Postum at first because 1t was not boil
ed long enough but when they learned
how to prepare it according to direc-
tons on the package they would ask for
no more palatable drink. l could name

The "Csrays' had to work overtime
Thursday at Oskaloosa. and twelve long
innings were played before Williams
broke up the game with a two base hit
to the right field fence. 1t was a con-
test replete with fast fielding and heavy
hitting. Swain was first set up by
Warner and was relieved by Green.
Both showed UP well, being steady, all
though they were hit freely for touch
of eleven times.
The "Quakers'' began business from
the start, and scored two tallies in the
second on an error and a home run by
Lalusky. Another was taken in the
third on hits by Kinsel and Bradshaw.

showing the marked evidence Of lack

youngsters sat before the. court and
wept Several witnesses were examin-

were not naturally bad, but that their
home influences were such that any boy
might be led into temptations. One Wit

WOODBURY. FAvoRs 1T.
IL Il centers Here Would BE the Up.
BUILDING OF MarshAiItown.

John P. Woodbury.. president of the
First National Bank, and one of the
Oldest and most conservative business
men and f1nanciers of this city, heart
lis favors an interurban line centerins
here. He believes it would be the
means of giving this city growth in
population in few years that would
prove remarkable. Mr.. Woodbury. was
seen this afternoon by T.-R. reports
or and had the following to say re-
garding the proposed interurban:
II most heartily favor and endorse
the proposed interurban, SO long as its
franchise proposes to make and keep
this city its center. This first line, /
believe. would ebut the beginning of
a series Of other lines. that would radi>
ate from this city, opening up new ter>
ritory to our merchants. making the
city easier OF access, and bringing an
increased population to our city. !
would, If necessary, be in favor OF vot-
ing a s per cent tax, ii It could be se>
cured. but I would not support an in>
terurban enterprise that proposes to
make this city but a way station on Its
line.
This talk. so often heard. about
eastern promoters and capitalists COM
ing to the west and this vicinity to
invest their money, whether or not an
equity is taken by the local people, is
all rot and untrue. What Is now tho
Northwestern line thru here was only
made possible by the interest taken In
1t by local stockholders. My father,
G.. NJ Woodbury.. was largely instru-
mental in securing that road. and spent
money and time before
1t was secured. He worked for the
land grant from the government for
the right -of-way from Cedar Rapids
here. He paid for and had the survey
made He bought stock and sold In
little blocks all a1e could to local peo-
pie. He then went east and brought
capitalists here, showed them the pos
sibilities of the country, and the
money with which to finance the road
was forth coming. 1t was afterwards
taken over by the Northwestern but II
would never have been secured had he
not devoted his time, money and energy
to the enterprise.
when the interurban proposition
was first sprung I was skeptical, and
doubted whether it would be good
thing or not. A few weeks ago had
occasion to visit Columbus Ohio, In
which am well acquainted. but In
which had not been for three or
four years. Business seemed to be good
there, every one was prosperous, and
the town had grown so rapidly since

cause. Our system Of interurban lines

ceived from every sourse. That con-

While on His Way to Buffalo He Tele-
graphed Dolson G. Dolson to
Act For Him.

Buffalo, Oct. 4.-The wellknown
legal firm of Dolson & Dolson in Eli
colt square has been asked to defend
a client who does not appear to re-
quire the services of an attorney just
at the present time.
The client is Alonzo ]. Whiteman
wanted on charge of forgery, but
whose whereabouts are being diligent-
ly sought by the Buffalo police and
Pinkerton detectives.
About 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon
the firm received a dispatch from
and evidently sent while en- route to
this city. The dispatch stated that
Whiteman had no personal acquaint'
ance with the Buffalo attorneys, but
that they had been recommended to
him by a couple of judges of his ac-
uuaintance and he wished them to act
for him in the legal difficulties in
which he expected to become involved
as soon as he reached Buffalo.
Later. Whiteman seems to have de-
cided to trust to his own efforts to
keep clear of prison, as he broke away
from the officers at Dunkirk and es.
capped.
The report that Alonzo J. Whiteman
boarded a ship at Philadelphia has
proved unfounded. No trace Of the
fugitive has been secured. The Buf.
talo detective from whom he escaped
has been suspended from duty.
