Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Due

Inns, would wake up with headaches
and feel bad all day, so nervous |
could not attend to business. My writ

bclchings from the stomach, indlges-
ton, heartburn and palpitation Of the
heart, constipation, Regularity Of the

Indeed, l began to feel that l had
all the troubles that human flesh
could suffer, but when a friend adj
yised me to leave off coffee l felt as
if he had insulted inc could not
bear the idea. it had such a hold on
me, aud | refused to believe 1t the
cause.
"But it turned out that no advice

One Of Mr.. noar,s Jokes spoiIed.

Senator Hoar bewails the innovation
recently Introduced at that END Of the
capitol in the purchase Of matches says
the Washington Pdyt. Almost since the
time when friction matches were in
vented the senate has been receiving Its
supply In little round wooden boxes.
Matches In these boxes have been for
years kept about the capitol. When.
in Mr.. Hoar's committee room, some
one asked for matches, the senator
would remark: why, we have barrels
of Matches" and forthwith, at the ut
terance Of the bon mot, a round box
would be produced.
Now the purchasing agent Of the sem
ate has decided to buy matches in the
usual paper boxes, with which the gen.
eral public Is familiar. That Is consid-
erably less expensive, but 1t puts an end
to barrels of matches" In the enate
committee on judiciary.

Aberdeen, S. D., May let is be-
lieved the incendiary who has been
terrorizing the citizens of Aberdeen for
months past and imperiling the very
existence of the city OF Aberdeen has
been discovered.
The person suspected Of being the in
cendiary is 4 woman. who is undoubt-

board of insanity Is now being held.
The wOman's name Is Rosalie Boseman,
wife Of job Boseman, a laboring man,
both being Russian Poles, with a resi-
dence Of but two years in America.
A policeman found Mrs. BOseman
strolling down a side street a few

gown, and n sheet thrown over her
head. The policeman took the woman
home, and on account Of her strange
actions she was taken before the board

son who has set the many fires in
Aberdeen the hearing has been on
tinued from day to day in an effort
to drag some statement from her, but
as yet the woman has not said n word
The belief that the unfortunate Mrs.
Boseman is the guilty person is based
upon the fact that she has accused her
husband upwards Of twenty times Of
being an incendiary; that thirty-seven
out OF forty fires have been I'm the same
ward in which she lives; that the two
largest fires were within a block Of
her home, and that all the fires occur
between the hours of 1 and 3 o'clock
I'm the morning, the hours when Mrs.
Boseman takes her strollS.
At the hearing it was learned that the
woman has been in the habit Of taxi
ing midnight strolls for some time,
bolted doors, vigilance OF the part Of
her husband and children n other
means proving Of no avail, as. with the
instinct of q crazy person, she always
manages to elude her watchers and
surmount all obstacles and get away.
Mrs. Boseman will be sent to the
state hospital at Yankton, and If the
~lncendiary fires now stop II will be
shown that the woman Is the lncen-
