to Europe with my wife, after which
am going into the mining business
with my brother Jack and ! shall here
after devote my time to it. The prin-
cipal reason for my retiring from the
ring and from the stage is that my wlfe
objects. That has been the controlling
influence in my reaching this determ-
ination. l have decided to quit fight
ing for all time. The last fight had
in San Francisco was fairly well pa
tronized. and although i won the big
end of the purse. there was but little
in it for me. l have determined, along
with my wife. that it is not worth
while to go into the ring any more.
The public is fickle. l am well pro-
vided with this worlds goods, and
am done with it all. Billy Delaney Is
also well fixed and he will retire from
the business with me. When my en-
gagement ends in Chicago. one week

bow as a public character and shall
never again go either on the stage or

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffer-
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.

ago that | owed the palpitation of the
heart, from which | suffered almost
daily. to the use Of coffee Il had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years., but |
found 1t very hard to give up the bev
erage
81 realized that l must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but !
felt the necessity for a hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking, l
was at loss for awhile what to do.
"One day l ran across very sem
sible and straightforward presenta-
tion OF the claims of Postum Food
Coffee, and was so impressed thereby
that | concluded to give it a trial. My
experience with it was unsatisfactory
till ! learned how it ought to be pre-
pared-by thorough boiling for not
less than Is or 20 minutes. After |
learned that lesson there was no
trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved
to be most palatable and satisfac-
tory hot beverage, and | have used 1t
ever since
THE effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely
cured the heart palpitation from which
l used to suffer so much. particularly
after breakfast, and l never have re-

St. Petersburg. May Admiral
Nebogatoff's junction with Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky is now considered
by the admiralty as practically as
sured, and hope for successful issue
in the approaching struggle for mas
tery of the sea is greatly encouraged.
Nebogaton is regarded as the
Blucher of the situation and, indeed.
he is said to resemble him greatly In
temperament. He may lack his STRAIT
egy and finesse, but like the Prussian.
he has bulldog courage and is a born
fighter, who goes straight for the
enemy.
If Vice Admiral Kamimura. like
Grouchy at Waterloo. fails to prevent
juncture of the Russian fleets, as the
admiralty here believes he has. the
impression Is strong that Vice Admiral
Togo will not dare risk an open battle
against the united divisions of Rojest-
vensky and Nebogatoff. but will pro-
tect himself by torpedo attacks and
possibly long range action. being pre-
pared to draw off in the event that he

JURY HAS DISAGREED
NAN PATTERSON NOT CONVICTED
Majority of the Jury Said to Be In
Favor Of Acqulttal-case May Not
Be Tried Again.

New York, May 4.-Having failed
to reach a verdict and declaring that
they were hopelessly disagreed, the
jury in the Nan Patterson case was
formally discharged at 2:20 O'Clock
this morning.
Although the result of the balloting
of the jury was not revealed, it is said
that the majority favored acquittal.
The woman may not be tried again.
In his charge to the jury Recorder
Goff said:
This case has nothing extraordi-
nary in 1t. So far as the testimony
goes, two persons most spoken OF dur
Ing the entire proceedings, the de-
ceased, man by the name OF Young,
a race track man, had this defendant
to live with him as his mistress. The
mans death, because of the personal
ity of this man Young. had nothing In
1t to excite your passions or your pre-
judices. He was a mere gambler, a
race track follower. Therefore, you
should be able to consider the facts
calmly without prejudice and passion.
"If the accused fails to take advan-
tage of her privilege to make de-
fense, under the advice of her coun-
sci. her failure to do SO must in no
way be held against her.
"Of course, gentlemen, you must not
think that, because OF the humble po-
sition of this woman, you should not
give her the same consideration as II
she occupied more exalted position
in society. Whatever her position, she
is entitled to the same legal rights
as the most prominent and most con-
spicuous.
"If there be a reasonable doubt In
this case on the evidence. this doubt
must be thrown into the balance for
the defendant. A danger lies In the
remarks of counsel which might take
your mind off the direct issue. You
must avoid this danger"

The Immediate causes Of headaches
vary, but most Of them come from poor

is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism. malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept i'll the system affect the
blood In the same way.
The ordinary headnche-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out

nently. Women in particular have found

Better Prices for Potatoes.

Denver, May A Republican spe-
cial from Greeley last night says: Po-
tatoes commanded the highest price
since January to-day. They were
quoted at 25 cents for pearls and 80
cents for rurals. The advance was due
to greater demand in Kansas, okla
homa, California and Washington.
Thirty carloads are leaving the Gree
ley district daily.
1t is estimated that 1000 carloads of
first-class potatoes are still in the Gree
ley district, and that there will be no
trouble in placing these on the market
within few weeks. The inferior po,
tatoes have been used in feeding stock
and for making starch at the factory
here, which is using coo sacks day.
