Of the part which the Indians took
on the side of the British she tells an
interesting incident. The army was i'll
camp at the close of a long day of
marching. Water was needed. There
was a spring in a clump of bushes not
far away. Mr.. Powers with two other
men volunteered to go for it. AS they
approached the spring they were fired
upon. Noting carefully the direction
from which the flash came, they all fired
into the ambush. The next morning the
dead body of an Indian was found lying
in the bushes.
Mr.. Powers served the greater part
of the time under Gen. Sullivan.
At the close of the war when the
Congress awarded a pension to the
veterans of the revolution, Mr.. Powers
received a pension for two years. But
subsequently a new law was made
swear that otherwise he was not able
to support himself. With spirit Mrs.
Walker said:
MY father said he would never do
that. He had fought for independence,
but he had also worked and gained a
competence, so he would not swear he
was poor and depend on his country for
support
Years after a son secured pension
for Joseph Powers widow, Rebecca
Powers. Her father, Isaac Stearns,
was a minute man in the revolution.
Mrs. Walker was married to Levi o.
Walker in March 1887 To them were
born six children, three of whom sur
vive: George w. Walker of Seattle,
Wash, and Gideon L. and Charles A.

THE STATE IS A VICTOR,
Railroads Lose Tax Penalty Suits
in Dane Cir(u; Court.
TO APPEAL THE CASE.
Judge Stevens Decides That Railroad
Commissioners Acceptance of Re-
ports Did Not Prevent Action.

Madison, Wis, July 15.-[ Special. J.
Wisconsin is entitled to recover $4,000
from the railroads operating in the state,
according to a decision given by Judge
Stevens in the circuit court yesterday.
The state won it's case against the Chi
cago & Northwestern, Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha and the Mime
apolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie rail
roads.
Court Finds for State.
The court finds the state is entitled to
recover from each of these roads $10,-
600, as these lines admitted they had in
correctly filed their reports of gross earn
ings made to the state for the year 1902.
The same statute provides for separate
penalty for each year that incorrect re-
ports were filed.
these roads to recover penalties upon the
reports Of earnings which they made
for 1903. The state has penalty suits
also against the Wisconsin Central road
the Green Bay and Western, the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy and Hi
nois Central.
On the basis of this decision the state
would be entitled to recover total Of
$16O,OO0.
Governor Says He Is Not Through.
This litigation is result of a special
message sent by Coy. La Toilette to the
Legislature of 1903. These penalties
are only small amount of what the
governor says he is determined the rail
roads will be compelled to pay to the
state. On gross earnings withheld he
says they still owe to the state per
earnings, which will amount to some
$45O,O0O.
''After reargument of the question:
says Judge Stevens, ''the court is still
of the opinion that the act of the rail
road commissioner in indorsing his APP
prevail on the report of the railroad is
an immaterial act and that such ap-
proval did not prevent the plaintiff from
maintaining this action. 1t appears from
the facts stipulated that the defendant
knowingly and Intentionally omitted a
substantial portion of it's gross earnings
relying on the advice of counsel. This
advice is not an adequate defense"
The railways also claimed that the
license fees imposed by the statute were
in conflict with the commerce clause OF
the federal constitution. The court holds
to the contrary.

Decline of Bark Industry in Maine.

Again this year the peel Of bark in
eastern Maine will be small, compared
with that of other years. The cause as

of the old growth has been cut off, and
the bark of the second growth is not as

The twelfth Earl of Derby is unknown
TO the reader of the ordinary history

as the peer who married the pretty and

But the earl had his revenge yesterday,
when all the world and his wife focked

stakes. For that race, in it's institution
in 1880, was named after the jovial
young peer who was one of the leading
patrons of the Georgian turf.-London

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk Mothers cannot be too careful
as TO the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of Kan
sas City mother is a case in point:
81 was q great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought l could not eat a
meal without it. But found at last
it was doing me harm. For years l
had been troubled with dizziness
spots before my eyes and pain in my
heart, to which was added, two years
ago a chronic sour stomach. The
baby was born seven months ago, and
almost from the beginning it, too, suf-
fered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me.
IN my distress I consulted friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee die
not make good milk; have since as
certained, that 1t really dries up the
milk.
$50 l quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then l turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing | needed
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself. but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. l no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in my heart or sour stomach. Postum
has cured them.
'Now we all drink Postum from my
husband TO my seven months old baby.
1t has proved to be the best hot drink
we have ever used. We would not
give up Postum for the best coffee we
ever drank" Name given by PostuE.

The Quality That Counts.

The great prizes of life do not fall
to the most brilliant, to the cieverest,
to the shrewdest, to the most long
headed, or to the best educated, but to
the most level-headed men, to the
men of soundest judgment. When a
man is wanted for q responsible posi-
tion his shrewdness is not considered
so important as his sound judgment.
Reliability is what is wanted. Can
a man. stand without being tripped;
and, if he is thrown, can he land upon
his feet? Can he be depended upon,
relied upon under all circumstances to
do the right thing, the sensible thing?
Has the man a level head? Has he
good horse sense? Is he liable to fly
off on a tangent or to go off half
cocked?" Is he '"faddy?" Has he
wheels in his head?" Does he lose
his temper easily, or can he control
himself? If he can keep level head
under all circumstances, if he cannot
be thrown off his balance, and is
honest, he is the man wanted,-Suc-
cess.
