 ''I Nas unable 10 hold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew it 10 0ae side, causing me the most in- tense pain. We got no relief from medicine. and were puzzled as to what caused the trouble till friend sug- sested that possibly the coffee we drauk had something to do with it. and advised that We quit it and try Pos;Rm Coffee.
 We followed his advice and from the day that we began to use Postum we both began to improve, and in a yery short time both of Its were en- firely relieved The nerves became steady once more. the headache ceased fhe muscles in the back of my neck re. faxed. my head strengthened up, and 1he dreadful pain that had so punished me whue used the old kind of coffee vanished.

Arrest for Shurtleff Burglary.
CHARLES DOWNS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
But AFrERwARD RELEASED.

As an outcome of the burglary in the
store of F. A. Shurtleff & Co. on the
night of Oct. 18th, State Detective Fred
l.. Odliu on Wednesday arrested Charles
Downs of Dixfield at his home there, and
brought him to Jail at South Paris.
Charles Downs, sometimes known as
"Tunk" Downs, is the son of John
Downs of Dixfeld, and is II years of
age. He has of late been in Lewiston
much of the time.
1t will be remembered that when the
burglars made their haSty departure
from the rear of Brooks store on the
morning of the 18th, small sized black
felt hat was left by them. This hat is
the clue which is considered to connect
Downs with this burglary. A young
man from Lewiston named Fuller says
that he gave this hat to Downs. 1t tits
Downs fairly we'll. Downs admits hav-
ing had hat from Fuller, but denies
that this is the hat.
At the time of recent break in Cor
ham, n. H., an old pair of shoes was left
| in exchange for new. One of these old
shoes is in the possession of the officers,
and is fair fit for Downs.
Downs stOutly asserts his innocence,
saws that he wasi in Lewiston the night
of the 18th, and that he can prove it.
By agreement of the officers and the &C.
cused, the hearing has been deferred fol
few days, to permit of further investi'
cation.
Contrary to reports which have gained
currency, Downs has not implicated bis
brother or any one else, or made any
statement which can be called comics
sion.
Monday morning Downs was released
the officers considering that not enough
evidence was in their possession to hole
him il hearing was held.

Part OF the Shurtleff "Swag" Found
IN THE WOODS NEAR THE RAILROAD,
OPPOSITE THE LOWER sEMAPHoRE.

A portion of the goods stolen from the
store of F. A. Shurtleff & Co. on the
night of the 18th was found Sunday
afternoon in the woods near the village.
Albert Littlehale and Eeonard Wood,
who had been walking down the railroad
south of the village, were returning, and
when near the semaphore at the lower
end of the yard, deciding to come back
by way of the woods and Pine Street,
they got over the fence into the pines.
They had hardly got into the woods be-
fore they discovered pile of leaves and
rubbish, with the corner of suit case
sticking out of it. They understood at
once what they had found, and Deputy
Sheriff DeCoster was at once notified
and the goods were brought in.
The find includes, as nearly as can be
estimated, something like two-thirds of
the plumber taken. In the suit case,
which belonged to Arthur h. Shurtleff.
and was taken from the back room of
the store, were carefully packed all but
two or three of the cameras stolen. A
salt bag, which was taken from the ice
room, was filled with hundred or two
jackkuives. The judgment of burglars
who didn't know better than to put that
kind of goods in salt bag is particular
ly to be criticised, as these are more
damaged than any of the other stuff.
The cameras in the suit case were we'll
protected, and some of the small articles,
which were packed into gun cases, were
not damaged particle.
A handbag held twenty eight of the
missing fountain pens, leaving about a
dozen unaccounted for. A game bag
full of shells was recovered, but more
than the same amount are still missing.
Evidently the robbers were pretty shy
about coming back after their "swag,
or they would have got it out OF the way
of exposure to the weather before this.
The place where it was found is not
more than two hundred feet from Pine
Street, and only few rods from the
semaphore. officers searching these
woods are said to have gone within
three or four rods of the hide within
few DAVIS
