HABITS CHAIN.
Certain Habits Unoonsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to breab lifelong habit would,
II it could be transformed, lift
weight of many tons.
It sometimes requires higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains or
a pernicious habit than to lead for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood was
q lover of coffee. Before / was out
of my teens was a miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
~ was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
| could not deny myself cup for
breakfast. At the age Of 80 I was IN
very poor health, indeed. My Sister
told me was in danger Of becoming
a coffee drunkard.
"But I never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although 1t kept
me constantly i'll, until l tried Postum.
I learned to make 1t properly accord
ing to directions, and now we can
hardly do without Postum for break
fast, and care nothing at all for coffee.
81 am no longer troubled with dys-
pepsia, do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
me so when / drank coffee" Name

HIGH OFFICIALS
ARE UNDER FIRE
UNITED STATES SENATOR JOHN
H. MITCHELL rs INDICTED.
LAND FRAUDS ARE CHARGED
Congressman Hermann Is Also Ac-
cused-Both Men Must Face Trial
for Conspiracy in Oregon
Swindle.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2.-United States
Senator John H. Mitchell, for 80 years
one of the most widely known and gen.
orally respected public men in oregon
was indicted Saturday by the federal
grand jury for alleged conspiracy to de-
fraud the government of public lands.
In the same judicial hopper from which
fell this sensation was another OF almost
equal interest-the indictment OF Bin
ger Hermann, formerly commissioner
of the general land Office at washington
and now representative IN congress
from this state. District Attorney Hall
has been dismissed in this connection.
The Indictment.
The Indictment alleges that Mitchell
and Hermann in January, 1902, con-
spired with S. A. D. Puter, Horace G.
Mckinley, H. w. Tarpley, Emma L.
Watson, Salmon B. Ormsby, Clark E.
Loomis, William H. Davis and others
TO defraud the government out OF por-
ton of its public lands in Oregon by
means of forged affidavits and fictitious
names, and that Puter paid Mitchell
$4,000 to secure his influence with Her.
mann, then land commissioner.
1t declares that, acting upon the sug-
gestion and the wish of Senator Mitchell,
and influenced by him, knowing that the
transactions were unlawful, Hermann

one year, being elected the following
year, 1862, to the state senate on the
republican ticket. He was elected to the
United States senate in 1872, and served
until 1879. In 1882 he received the eau
Gus nomination for senator, but was de-
feated in joint session. He was elected
again to the senate in 1885, and was re-
elected in 1891. In 1897 he was DECLARED
the unanimous nominee of his party to
succeed himself, and took his seat March
8 that year. His term will expire March
3, 1907.
Review of Hermann's Career.
Binger Hermann, who is 81 years Of
age, is one of the best known men in
Oregon. He is a native of Maryland, but
went to Oregon in 1858. In 1866 he was
elected member of the Oregon legisla-
ture and two years later to the state SEN
ate. In 1883 he was chosen congressman
at-large from Oregon, and reelected from
the state at large in 1886, 1885, and 1890.
He served in congress from the First
district from 1892 to 1896. In 1897 Presi-
dent Mckinley appointed him commits
sioner of the general land office. The
appointment was recomm ended by the
Oregon delegation, including Senator
Mitchell. Hermann virtually was dis
missed as commissioner of the general
land office, being charged with laxity
and irregularities by Secretary Hitch
cock, of the department of the interior.

man Hermann's involvement. For the
feeling has been that if the senator was
caught in the federal Investigators net,
the former land commissioner also
would be. The significant and unex-
peeted thing, however, was the removal
of United States District Attorney Hail.
District Attorney Removed.
Washington, Jan. president
Roosevelt Saturday directed the re-
moval from Office of John H. Hall,
United States district attorney for
Oregon Mr.. Hall has been prosecut-
ing officer of the government in the
land fraud cases and the removal is
made in connection with them. At
torney General Moody declined to say
what charges if any had been made
against Hall, but added that for the
good of the service it was believed best
to dispense with him, particularly in
connection with the land fraud cases
in Oregon.
No Surprise ag Washington.
Washington, Jan. News of the in
iictment of Senator Mitchell and Cen
gresham Hermann created no surprise
here. Secretary Hitchcock stated that
ne had looked for the Indictment at any
time. Attorney General Moody declined
to make any comment, although it is be-
lieved here that he, too, was prepared
FOR no other decision than the indIct-
ment of the two men.
Mitchell Long in Public.
Senator Mitchell has been for more
than 40 years one of Oregon's most prom
inent figures and influential men. He
was born in Pennsylvania in 1885 and
went to Oregon in 1861, when the inhaDl-
tants of the state were comparatively lew.
Mr.. Mitchell was elected corporation at
torney Of Portland in 1861 and served
