CROWD IS HELLO UP.
A Daring Robbery in a Mitchell
Restaurant,

At 1870 o'clock Wednesday night two
masked men went into the PlaHkinton
cafe at Mitchell, S. D.. and held up a
crowd of men. numbering about fifteen.
With revOlvers they ordered the men to
line up against the wall with hands up.
While one STOOD guard the other went
through the pockets of the men and took
what money they had, leaving watches
and other valuables.
The holdup men realized about $215
on the raid, 800 being secured from the
restaurant cash register and safe.
The robbers made their escape without
any trouble, although there was a crowd
of twenty-five men on the opposite side
Of the street when they emerged from
the cafe and escaped in the darkness.

Promote Scheme.

T. c. Hanley, who has received a great
deal of public notice through connections
with farmers cooperative schemes, was
indicted by the federal grand jury IL st.
Paul, Mimi, on a charge of using the
mails in furtherance of a scheme to de-

A Parting Shot.

She had just handed him the frigid

hat from the hall rack for the last time,
previous to m%eandering out into the dark
and dismal evening, he said:
well, perhaps it is better so, and
were it not for one thing I'd thank you
for your decision"
'Indeed!' exclaimed the gelid-hearted
maid in surprise. "And what is that one

THE "coFFEE HEART"
1t Is as Dangerous as the Tobacco
or Whisky Heart.

Coffee heart is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long home IL the
drug is persisted in. You can run 80
or 40 yards and find out if your heart
is troubled. A lady who was ice 4
victim of the coffee heart writes
from Oregon:
Il have been a habitual user Of cot
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which l became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
Then my heart became affected. 1t
would beat most rapidly just after I
drank my coffee, and go below nor
NAL as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
l3f beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to be-
gin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and mede Postum my
sole table beverage. This was 6 months
ago, and all my ills, the indigestion, in
active liver and rickety heart action,
have passed away, and my complex
ion has become clear and natural. The
Improvement set in very soon after |
made the change, just as soon as the
coffee poison had time to work out Of
my system.
My husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use Of Postum, and
we find that a simple breakfast with
Postum. is az satisfying and more
strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other
kind OF coffee" Name given by Pos

Crab She'll as Barometer.

The inhabitants of southern Chill are
said to foretell the weather by means
of a strange barometer. 1t consists Of
the cast-off shell of a crab. The dead
shell is white in fair, dry weather, but,
indicating the approach of a moist at
mosphere by the appearance of small
red spots, as the moisture in the air
increases it becomes entirely red and
remains so throughout the rainy sea-

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
and commentator testifying to the
merits Of Peruna as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and tes-
timony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal. Peruna is
the best safeguard known.

Oregon.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it
continually in the house. In a letter
to DIR. Hartman, he says:

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT..
The Peruna Medicine CO., Columbus, O.:
Dear SirS-I have had occasion to
use your Peruna medicine in my
family for colds, and it proved TO
be al excellent remedy. I have nor
had occasion TO use 1t for other all
menfs. Yours very truly,
w. M. Lord.
1t will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use
Peruna for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold.

Kaiser and Children.

Recently the Kaiser and Kaiserin
visited Saarbrucken to unveil a statue
in that town, their little daughter,
Princess Louise, being left in the
meantime in the royal car at the rail
way station. A beautiful bouquet of
flowers had been brought for presen-
tation to the little princess by three
small girls, who looked very disap-
pointed at the absence of the little
Louise. The Kaiserin, who noticed it,
at once ordered that the children
should be driven to the railway station
to deliver their present. They found
the Princess Louise at supper, and one
Of the children described how she had
spilled some egg and cocoa on her
white frock. She was very friendly
and pleased, and talked as though she
had known them "ever so long,
"The Empress, too," the girl relates,
"was very kind to us at once, and
said: Little girls, when you come to
Berlin, you must really and truly come
to see us. Promise me that you will
come And the little princess also
said we must come. The Emperor
shook hands with us, and when he
squeezed my hand a bit 1 squeezed
back, and he laughed and put his other
hand on top of it. Then both the En-
peror and Empress kissed us, and the

tiful flowers When we had let, and
stood on the platform watching the

Liked SuhatantialA.

Simeon Ford tells Of some amusing
experiences Of lady he knows who is
most charitably disposed toward the
poor Of the slums. One day this worthy
woman in the goodness Of her heart
visited a small boy in whom she was
interested and who was convalescing
from long illness. With her she car
ried some fine fruit for the lad, but
to her surprise the mother received
the offering rather obviously, evincing
little appreciation Of or gratitude for
what the charitable lady thought
would be most acceptable to the little
sufferer.
When next the good Samaritan call
ed at the place she asked the mother
how the boy had enjoyed the fruit.
VERY WE'LL" was the lacOnic an
swer.
"And did he eat all Of it?"
ooh, yes" responded the mother,
carelessly. "He got away with it all
right; but the boy is like me, he don't
care much for frills;. likes something
substantial and tasty; f'r instance
pigs feet"

EVER TREAT YOU SO?

Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come UP
A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in a country parish in Iowa,
tells Of his coffee experience:
my wife and I used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find a place on our table.
I'm the spring of 1856 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
1T seemed to come from coffee
drinking, but we could not decide.
In the following July, however, she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. | was away from home fill
ing an appointment at the time, and
on my return found her very low;
she had literally vomited herself al
most to death, and it took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
II had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it, each time, by a resort to
medicine.
"But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom Of our troubles and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on Pos
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms
Of disease disappeared and during the
nine years that we have been using
Postum instead of coffee we have
never had a recurrence Of the vomit-
ing. We never weary Of Postum, to
which we know we owe our good
health. This is a simple statement of
facts" Name given by Postum Com

JOLLY HOUSE WRECKsR.
May Seem Reckless, but He Isn't, and
Uses Much Method in Work.

Uses Much Method in Work.
The house-wrecker may seem to be
very reckless sort Of individual, but
really he has much method in his
madness, says the Pittsburg Post. lie
may seem to be ripping and smashing
and tearing things up the back gener-
ally regardless, but actually he never
breaks anything that can be disposed
of more probably whole, though as
to everything else he is always most
economical Of time and labor.
So. when he is about to tear down
building he puts up on the front Of
it a covered wooden chute with Its
open mouth at the top on level with
the floor Of the top story, and its spout
like opening at the bottom high enough
above the ground SO that wagon can
be driven under it, and as he tears
down the walls Of that upper story
he losses the bricks from it into the
mouth Of the chute to go slam-banging
gayly down 1t and be shot out at the
spout straight into the wagon ready
to be carried away, all without any
intermediate handling.
AS he tears away story after story
of the structure the house-wrecker
shortens the chute to bring Its wide
receptive mouth down to the level Of
the floor on which he Is working; and
SO he continues down until he comes,
in the case. for instance, Of high
stoop dwelling in process Of demolition
to the parlor floor.
From such a floor the chute would
no longer carry the bricks down by
gravity and here he adopts other meth
odS From the sill Of one Of the par
ltx windows he builds out over the
sidewalk to the street a platform on
which DheelbarrOws can be wheeled
and this takes the place Of the chute.
When it coIes to the cellar, why, there
it's different from there more or less
stuff must be picked up and carried,
but the house-wrecker never picks up
and carries anything that he can drop.

with pocket or receptacle between
them, SO that all the catcher has to do
is to judge accurately the probable
course of the thrown or pitched ball
and close the pocket by folding the
double glove to prevent it's escape. In
order not to interfere with the catch
er's throwing arm, one Of the gloves,
depending on whether the wearer is
right or left handed, is designed to per-
nit the easy and quick removal of the
hand. In modern baseball the use of
the glove is looked upon as essential,
even for the fielder, and the day when
the catcher only wore a small glove,
not much larger than the fielder's glove
Of to-day, Is only a memory Of the
days Of Ansons supremacy on the dia-
mond. The duplicate paddle glove, If
adopted, will afford still greater pro-
lection for the catcher's hand and raise
the standard Of the catcher's efficiency.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.


The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most Of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. III an9mia the blood
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
i'll 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 headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
OH the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills All unfailing relief in head
aches caused by an@mia.
