HIGHWAYMAN KILLS WOMAN.
Robber Demanded Her Money, and
Her Through the Heart.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Mrs. S. e. Mlze
Of New York city, was murdered by 0
robber while taking an evening walk
in one Of the fashionable residence dis
tricts on the south side.
For the greater part of the summer
Mrs. Mi2e has been a guest at the Del
PraGo hotel, which fronts on the Mid
way P%laiSanCe. In company with Mrs,
z. f. Wilson, of Las Cruces, N. NJ,
also a guest at the hotel, she went out
for a short walk. They had reached the
corner of F%ifty-ninth street and Wash
irgt0n avenue, two squares from the
hotel, when they were confronted by a
man who demanded their money and
valuables. All along Fifty-ninth street
and on Washington avenue people were
sitting upon yerandas and in the front
yards of their residences, and Mrs. Mize
evidently expecting help from some of
them, vigorously attacked the robber,
at the same time calling loudly for
help. Mrs, Wilson turned and ran back
toward the hotel.
Mrs. Mize was able to utter just two
cries for help when the robber shot her
through the heart, killing her instantly.
Mrs. Wilson. who was looking back at
the time, fell in a faint, and when the
residents of the neighborhood came
running, in response to the calls Of
Mrs. Mize, they found both women ly-
ing upon the sidewalk.
Mrs. Wilson, still unconscious, was
taken to the Del Prado hotel, while the
body Of Mrs. Mize was carried by the
police to an undertaking establishment
near at hand.
The murderer, after shooting Mrs.
Mize, fed into an alley between Fifty
eighth and Fifty-ninth streets and dis
appeared in the darkness.

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacal
In the way coffee sometimes wreaks its
fendish malice on those who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says
my husband and /, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my case there was
eventually developed some sert of af-
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable I hold my head up
straight, the tension OF the nerves drew
1t to one side, causing me the most in
tense pain. We got no relief from
medicine, and were puzzled as to what
caused the trouble, till a friend sug-
gested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with 1t.
and advised that we quit 1t and try
Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice. and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
a very short time both Of us were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headache ceased,
the muscles in the back of my neck re-
Taxed, my head Strengthened up, and
the dreadful pain that had 50 punished
me while / used the old kind Of coffee
vanished.
I'VE have neve resumed the use Of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as we'll cs we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to find
that we can give It freely to our chill
dren, also, something We never dared
to do with the old kind Of coffee"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely no
drugs OF any kind. but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug poi
son.
There's o reason.

Power Of Money.

1t is safe to say that never before
in the history OF the country were the
springs Of action, as well as the con
uilton Of things, more closely examined
than now. The revelations Of theft
IN high places have apparently caused
great searrbinEs Of heart among us.
with a result Of wrong emphasis at
times, as in the case Of the preacher
Ia New York that considered graft the
result Of the extravaganza Of women,
A sober view would hold that eXtrava-
EanCe OF whatever kind is n result
rather than a cause, and certainly the
examples Of great accumulation and
the mannor Of them contradict the no.
ton that il rs for anything that money
will buy lnat 1t Is coveted. Great a
our luxury is-greater perhaps than
any that the world ever snw-thc ex-
ampIos of monopoly and the history
Of oxactiou Ito not point to luxury az a
moving cause, It Is rather the simple
love Of money for itself the develop
mont of the mlser's passion on a large
scale. The Baltimore American sug-
gests that the passion has taken the
place with ~ that ahivalry once held,
and that love Of power held; or, rather,
that the love Of money typides to
us what those things typiHed in other
times, Money Is power now, so let
those that love power put money in
their purses.
