of enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady in Florida writes:
Il have always been very fond of
good coffee, and for years drank it at
least three times a day. Al last. how
ever, l found that it was iniuring me.
Il became bilious, subject to frequent
and violent headaches. and so very
nervous. that l could not lift Il spoon to
nv mouth without splitting part OF its
contents; my heart got 'rickety' AMI
beat so fast and so hard that l coull
scarcely breathe, while my skin got
thick and dingy. with yellow blotches
on my face caused by the condition Of
my liver and blood. made up my
mind that all these Affections came
from the coffee, and determined to ex-
pertinent and see.
so T quit coffee and got package of
Postum which furnished my hot morn
ing beverage. After little time | was
rewarded by complete restoration OF
my health in every respect. 90 not
suffer from oiliousness any more, my
headaches have disappeared. my nerves
are rs steady as could be desired. my
heart beats regularly and my COM

mited by Some Of Officials.

Bellows Falls VI, Aug. 25.-Sensa-
lonal testimony concerning affairs a,
the Vermont state prison at Windsor
was given, today, at the inquiry now
being held by the state on the conduct
Of Vermont Institutions. The most I'M
expected evidence was that of Horace
Boyd. a prison officer, who testified re-
gard:ns the sojourn in prison of Mrs
Mary NJ. Rogers, the Bennington
woman. who was convicted Of the muir
der Of her husband, Marcus Rogers, III
August, 1902.
HOyd testified, this afternoon, that
Vernon Rogers, a convict, who is serv-
ing sentence Of Is years, had told
him that he ORogers) had access to
Mrs. Rogers cell by means of a key
which he had made. The convict is not
a relative of Mrs. Rogers. officer Boyd
further stated that Rogers and the
condemned murderess had not con-
Quoted themselves properly. This gross
violation of tho prison rules. it was
added, had continued for month, ac-
cordng to the story which Rogers
told Boyd.
The state then sprung surprise by
making public certain evidence which
had been taken by the special commit
tee appointed by the Legislature to in
vestigate public institutions. This evil
dence it was explained. was brought
out at an executive session. July II. On
tiiat day. +. W. Cakes, former SUPER
intendent of the prison, testified that
Rogers had informed him that Fred
Morse another prisoner had given
him (ROgcrs>. the key which fitted
Mar Rogers cell.
Cakes also said Rogers had told him
that the latter's key opened the out
side door of Mrs. Rogers cell. but
would not unlock the inside door. The
second door was opened, according to
Rogers story. by Mrs. Rogers herself,
who removed the screws in the lock by
means of pair of scissors.
Cakes further testified that while
these alleged happenings occurred. he
was ill. and that the prison WAS in
charge of T.. p. Harnin. the warden.
When the superintendent heard OF
these Irregularities, he discharged Har-
pin Immediately.
The state officials also made public a
statement made by Mrs. Rogers herself,
in the form OF confession to Matron
Durkee of the state prison. This state
ment written in Mrs. Rogers own. hand
writing. said that she was allowed the
freedom of the prison.

Congress May Have To Decide Presi.
Dental Election in Costa RIGA.

Washington. Aug. 25.-The Costa
Rican legation. in Washington, has
received an official cablegram, dated
yesterday, which states that in the re-

q compromise among the parties before
the electoral college meets. If not. Con-
gress will have to decide the election.
The cablegram does not mention any
disturbances and this in the opinion of
the minister, is evidence that although
excitement may have run high, no Sc

BIrmInoham's Water system.

Mayor Ward and the Board of Alder
men have acted wisely In appointing
stantial citizens including several al
dermen, to investigate and take up on
practical lines the matter of the con-
tract between the Birmingham Water
Works company and the citizens of
Birmingham.
For many years the water supply of
Birmingham has been dragged into all
sorts of political campaigns. AS 1t is
now, however, the matter of contract
is to be taken up on practical business
lines and settled.
birmingham has water supply both
in quantity and quality equalllng that
OIL any city in the south. AS has been
clearly demonstrated, there is enough
water here for a city of a million in
habitants, and the Water Works COM
pany is already arranging for sys-
tenn of impounding dams in order that
1t may be thoroughly prepared for the
greatly increased population expected
within the next five years. Therefore
the only matter now open for discus
sion is the question of rates to be
charged for water, and this promises
TO be finally settled by the committee
appointed from the Board of Aldermen
and the business associations of Biz
mingham.
