DEFENDS HIS FATHER.
Austin Chamberlain Makes Not
able Speech in the Commons.

London, Feb. 3.-"My right honorable
friend, the member from West Birming-
ham" as Austen Chamberlain described
his father, was the central figure in the
drama that marked the opening of par
lament.
No playwright could have devised a
more curious situation. For the first
time in years Joseph Chamberlain took
his seat as a private citizen and was
separated from his former colleagues IN
the cabinet by the gangway. From this
seat he saw his son act as leader of the
house of commons, a position which
Joseph Chamberlain, with all his years
of parliamentary experience, never at
tanned.
Premier Balfour was laid up with in
fluenza, and therefore was unable to be
present. When Austen Chamberlain
arose to reply in behalf of the party of
which his own father is believed to be
the most powerful member, the house
was spellbound. Until that moment
Mr. Akers-DouglaS, secretary of state
for home affairs, was generally expected
to take Premier Balfour's place and in
terest in the proceedings were height
ened by the fact that Sir Campbell-Ban-
herman, the liberal leader, had just con-
eIuded a mercilesS satire on Austen
Chamberlain's father. The situation
was without parallel in the recollection
of the Oldest politician and all eyes
were fixed alternately on the father and
then the son.
moved under the ridicule of the Liberal
leader, turned nervously toward his
son, who now takes precedence over
him. With his monocIe in his eye. an
orchid in his buttonhole. and his hands
clasDed across his knees, the most
prominent figure in the British empire
sat and listened to his own defense
from the liDs of his son.
Austen Chamberlain spoke haltingly
and under evident strain. yet when he
referred to his father it was always as
the member from West Birmingham. "
There was a tinge of impassioned feel
ing in his words which brought con-
stantIy to his hearers a realization of
the relations between the two men,
Now and again jeers greeted the young
est member of the cabinet, whereupon
with unmistakable anger his father
turned his glance tin the direction of
the offender, and occasionally Joseph
Chamberlain cheered his son on with

DIDN'T BELIEVE
That Coffee Was the Real Trouble.

Some people founder around and take
everything that's recommended to
them but finally find out that coffee is
the real cause of their troubles. An
Oregon man says:
For % years 1 was troubled with my
stomach. I was a steady coffee drink
er but didn't suspect that as the cause.
I doctored with good doctors and got
no help, then 1 took almost anything
with but to no good. I was very bad
last summer and could not work at
times.
''On December 2, 1902, was taken so
bad the Doctor said I could not live
over twenty-four hours at the most
and 1 made all preparations to die. 1
could hardly eat anything, everything
distressed me and was weak and sick
all over. When in that condition cof-
fee was abandoned and 1 was put on
Postum, the change in my feelings
came quickly after the drink that was
poisoning me was removed.
THE pain and sickness fell away
from me and began to get we'll day by
day so I stuck to it until now I am
well and strong again, can eat heartily
with no headache, heart trouble or the
awful sickness of the old coffee days.
drink all I wish of Postum without any
harm and enjoy it immensely.
This seems like a wonderfully
strong story but I would refer you 20
the First National Bank. The Trust
Banking Co, or any merchant OF
Grants Pass, Ore, in regard to my
standing and I will send a sworn state
ment of this if you wish. You can also
use my name Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek Mich.
Still there are many who persistently
fool themselves by saying Coffee don t
hurt me- ten days trial of Postum
in its place will tell the truth and many
times save life.
There's a reason"

PUSHING 1T ON.
Capital Stock of Frankfort Line
Is Increased.

The capital stock of the Topeka,
Frankfort & Northwestern railroad was
increased from 5000 to $3.50, 900 at the
first annual meeting of the stockholders
at the Commercial club rooms Tuesday
afternoon. The increase was determin-
ed upon in order that the state law
which provides that the total amount
of township or county subsidies reoeiv
ed by company must not exceed the
capital stock. 1t is hoped that in the
neighborhood of 800, 600 may be secured
from the townships through which it is
proposed to build the railroad. Ar
engagements have already been made in
four townships in Pottawatomie coun-
ty for bond elections. Each of these
will vote bonds to the amount of $1,000
per mile. 1t is expected that the total
cost of building the railroad will be
about 1000, 600. 1t is believed that by
the sale of stock and from bonded aid
about one-third of the cost can be
raised. In case the road can be turned
over to the Missouri Pacific for build
ing, it is unlikely that any considerable
expense will be necessary to the pres
ent company.
After the election of directors for the
coming year the following officers We're
chosen:
President, t. ]. Anderson; first vice
president, ]. c. Morrow; second vice
president, w. F. Jensen; treasurer,
