/. 3OO.POUND SPOOK

AMaterializing Medium Dragged
from Cabinet and Exposed
Fight Follows.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, March 6.-Rev. Mrs.
Norman, a materializing medium, was
dragged shrieking from her cabinet last
NJ ut and tossed into the center of the
.1rcle of people attending a seance in
her apartments.
She was a most substantial spirit,
weighing at least 800 pounds, and she
ture was smashed, men knocked down
and glass broken before Mrs. Hermann
and her husband were finally captured.
When three gas jets were lighted,
Mrs. Herman was found gasping in
the center of the seance room, clad in
a mass of gauze coated with phosphor-
escent paint. Half her spiritual garb
and her headpiece were in the posses
sion of Calvert Berwick, Virginian,
who made the exposure.
Mr.. Berwick's mother, a resident of
this city, has lost thousands of dollars
/ In Investments made thru the advice
! of the spirits.
The exposure was the most sensa-
-, tional and complete ever made in this
city. Mr.. Berwiek's cousin, Harrison
| Grindtry, was with him at the seance
and struck a light while the fight was
going on in the cabinet. Immediately
tackled Mr.. Grindtry and Mr.. Berwick
and fought to prevent the medium be.

A battle followed and it was not

down that they were enabled to foo6

INNOCENT" =, SAYS
KANSAS OIL MAN
Standards Branch Reports to
Garfield, Declaring Itself
Honest, Upright.

New York, March en-. F. Elliott,
attorney for the Prairie Oil s. Gas COM
pany Of Kansas, has presented to the
commissioner Of corporations, James r.
Garfield, at Washington, the first answer
of that company at Washington in re-
fields.
The company asks of Commissioner
Garfield the most full and prompt in
vestigation possible at his hands, feel
ing entirely sure, as Mr.. Elliott says,
"that when their relations to the oil
producers of Kansas are fully laid bare,
it will be seen that the latter have been
treated with the utmost fairness. -
The statement adds:
The recent action Of the. company with
reference to its operations in Kansas has
been with good reason. The legislature of
Kansas was threatening to pass, and has.
indeed, passed laws, compliance witch
which is an utter impossibility. If they
are to be enforced, the company certainly
does not desire to increase its investment
in Kansas.
| VIII Be Cleared.
On Investigation, the many sensational
charges recently made as to relations OF
| the company with railroads., etc., will be
entirely disproved. The agitation has not
been caused by the. legitimate oil pro-
ducers, but principally by capitalized
| fake stock companies, who have sold their
| stock to the public and are seeking a
scapegoat.
| On Jan. 1, 1906, the company had in
vested in the business over $4,000, 600
| about equally divided as to cost between
general equipment and crude oil in tanks
| It had paid the producers for the crude
| oil over 100000 more than its value on
Jan. l. The increase in stocks of crude
| oil during the year 1904 was nearly 1900,
| 600 of barrels, all Of which the company
| had to buy from the producers and cree,
tanks for. The tankage cost an average
| OF % cents q barrel. In the month o,
January, 1905, the daily production OF
! crude oil had reached the enormous aver.
| age of over rs, 500 barrels, the daily con
sumption about 10000 barrels, so tina,
there was an excess Of production to be
provided for Of over $1,000 barrels daily
| Big Refinery Building.
| In order to provide further market TO,
| this enormous and increasing production
/ the company has under way line Of pipe
to Whiting, Ind, at which place large
oil refinery is located. This line of pipe
| together with it's necessary equipment
will cost over $3,500,000.
| Altogether the amount already invested
and contracted for by the Prairie Oil & Ga.
| company, in connection with the Kansas
Indian Territory Oil field, amounts Il
nearly $4,000, 600, and much more will b,
required. The present accumulation o
about 100000 barrels of crude oil il
as much as can be used and marketed fl
| the next two years with present facilities
Notwithstanding the enormous over
| production in the Kansas-Indian Terri
tory field, the decline in price has beef
/ relatively no greater, considering thu
quality of the oil they produced, than TIT
decline has been in other producing sec
lions of the country.
The entire statement, Of which the
above covers but few points, is q
lengthy document.

the TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

1t hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain Of facts, for II Is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
when l was young girl was
lover OF coffee, but was sick SO much
the doctor told me to quit, and did,
begged me to drink it again, as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
$50 I commenced it again and con-
tinued about six months until my stom-
ach commenced acting bad and choking
as if I had swallowed something the
size of an egg. One doctor said it was
neuralgia and indigestion.
'One day l took drive with my
husband three miles in the country, and
I drank cup of coffee for dinner. /
thought sure would die before I got
back to town to doctor. / was drawn
double in the buggy and when my hus-
band hitched the horse to get me out
into the Doctors office, misery came up
in my throat and seemed to shut my
breath off entirely, then left all In a
fash and went to my heart. The doc
tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble,
and when got home was SO weak I
could not sit up.
"My husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof-
fee, but said: take that back, dear,
will never drink another cup of cof-
fee if You gave me everything you are
worth, for it is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me, and said:
The idea of coffee killing any
body
well I said, sit's nothing else
but coffee that is doing it.
In the grocery one day my hus-
band was persuaded to buy box Of
Postum, which he brought home, and I
made it for dinner and we both thought
how good it was, but said nothing to
the hired men, and they thought they
had drank coffee until we laughed and
told them. Well, we kept on with
Postum, and it was not long before the
color came back to my cheeks and / got
stout and felt as good as / ever did in
my life. have no more stomach trou-

about it. - Name given by Postum Co,

Japs Arrested at Manila.

Manila, March 6.-The customs Off
cials have arrested three Japanese fish
ermen in connection with the alleged
attempt to sink the British steamer
Carlisle now at anchor in this port. A
Calling gun has been placed on the
Carlisle. The Japanese consul is as
sisting in the effort now being made to
clear up the mystery.
Washington, March 6.-Upon the ad-
vice of the department Of state, Secre-
tary Taft has cabled to Governor GEN
eral Wright at Manila permission for
by Russia, to remain in Manila harbor
until she has made necessary repairs to
her machinery. The state department
has thus added another and new con-
struction to international law relative to
rights Of belligerent ships in neutral
harbors. The point of interest Is what
shall be done with the ship when her re-
pairs are completed, but it is probable
that as Japanese warships are reported
to be lying in wait for her outside Ma
Mia harbor, she will be permitted to
intern.
