THE FRIEND MAKER
Food Drink That Does That

British Honduras, who has sent a list
of names of people in Central and
South America who now use Postum in
place of coffee, explaining in detail
their cases. He says:
Have much pleasure in writing you
this letter for the good Postum has
done myself and friends in this district.
The attached list of persons to whom L
have recommended Postum will, I ven
ture to say, give you great satisfaction
have given the names and addresses
so anyone can verify my statement by
writing to Them Gull particulars

persons marked from 1 to IL were con-
firmed tea drinkers and when spoke
to them about drinking Postum they
laughed at the idea of giving up tea.
But insisted on their giving Postum
a trial before condemning it and went
SO far as to give some of them a pack
age. They all use Postum now and
nothing else.
From No. IL to 10 were coffee fiends.

thought it absurd to try to replace cof-
fee by any other drink, but after some
persuasion I got them to try it, and
now they all use Postum.

to use tea or coffee and had been ex-

Postum. has filled the bill and now he
not only orders it for himself, but for

like Postum at first because they did
not know how to make 1t, but I invited
them to my house and gave them
Postum. making it according to direc-
lions on the package, and thew all
found 1t delicious.
Now, will tell you how I came In
contact with Postum. Mr.. Wells. Iiy-

BURGLARS SECURE
SOME RICH BOOTY
Plumber Residence and Steal
Two thousand Dollars
Worth of Silver

Tuesday night burglars entered the
residence of H. A. Towne, at 1416 Lin
den avenue, and made away with three
sacks filled with booty estimated to be
worth about $1,000.
Two of the sacks contained clothing
and the other silverware.
Mr.. Towne and his family are in Cal
ifornia for the winter, but in some
manner the police department learned
a crime had been committed and pro-
ceeded to make an attempt to appre-
bend the thieves. It was found they
had cached their plumber in the rear of
a. livery stable and some of the sleuths
of the department were detailed in the
case"-a term used. by police officials
when they hear of burglary.
The next day three boys with little
sled appeared in the locality of the loot,
but when they saw three or four fero-
zcious men they fed and the loot was
not unearthed.
All information regarding the bur-
giary is denied to the newspaper men,
but it is said the entire detective de-
partment has been assigned to watches
and the men take turns sitting on nail
kegs and boxes waiting for the men
who stole the yaluables to appear and
permit themselves to be arrested.

DESPERATE Man
SENT TO PRISON
Frederick Miller, Who Tried to
Murder Louis Borck. Given
Ten Years

Frederick Miller, who was tried on
the charge of attempting to murder
Louis d. Borck, Minnetonka Mills
farmer, last month, was sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary by Judge
Dickinson yesterday.
Miller showed he had a vicious dis
position, for when being taken to the
county Jail after the sentence, he an
nounced to the deputy who had him in
charge that after he served his term
he would Fix" the women who gave
damaging testimony against him.
Miller tried to kill the aged recluse,
but before the crime told the neighbors
that he had purchased the herd of cat
tie and forty-acre tract of land and
that Borck was going away and some
thing was likely to happen to him.
Miller was possessed of quantity of
gasolene and had Borck been killed
when he was shot through the window,
1T is the belief of the officials that
Miller would have sought to burn the
house and cover the evidence of his
crime.
Borck was only slightly wounded and
the next day apprehended his assail-
ant and caused his arrest.

STRIKE is AVERTED
Pennsylvania Trouble Is Con-
sidered on the Wane

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 20.-A
strike of the freight trainmen in the
employ Of the Pennsylvania railway on
the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie
has been delayed if not entirely avert
ed by the presence in this city of
Grand Master p. H. Morrissey, of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
There appears to be better feeling on
both sides tonight and although the
situation has not materially changed.
it is less acute than when First Vice
Grand Master Lee, having exhausted
all his efforts to effect an amicable set
moned Mr.. Morrissey from Cleveland
to this city.
Mr.. Atterbury notified the trainmen
that he would be ready to meet them
at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon who dur
ing the conference again submitted his
last proposition, which was as fol-
lows:
Il will agree to stop all compulsory
firing on all divisions except on such
divisions where the SUPERINTENDENT
may feel that the fireman requires as,
sistance by the brakemen. That will
be between specified points or for a
specified distance He will be paid at
the same rate per hour as the fireman
receives, not in addition to his own
rate; that is. he will not get double
pay, but he will receive the fireman's
rate only. He will not be held respon-
Sible for his duties as a brakeman dur
ing the time he is firing, and should
he elect to- become fireman such
time as he may put in firing in this
way will be credited to his seniority
record
The meeting was friendly and it was
found that the issues could not be
thoroughly discussed today, and Mr..
Atterbury agreed to receive the board
at the same hour tomorrow.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 20.-A
broadside at the railways and at high
state officials was fired in the legis-
lature today. Representative George

DECISION UPHOLDS
SHIPPERS POSITION
The Commerce CommissionD De.
cides That Live Stock Pays
Too Much Freight

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2O.-The
interstate commerce commission TODAY
announced its decision in the Chicago
Live Stock Exchange case, sustaining
that organizations complaint of dis
elimination on the part of railroads
that exact higher rates for transport
ing cattle and hogs than for carrying
live stock products" to Chicago from
points West, Northwest and South
west, including Missouri river points
and South st. Paul, MINI.
The exchange made the complaint
against the Chicago Great Western and
other railroads engaged in this traffic.
The commission holds that the dis
elimination is not justified In any way
and subjects the live stock interests to
unreasonable prejudice and disadvan-
tage, giving to the traffic in the prod
ucts" of live stock unreasonable pref
erence.
The commission reaffirms its previ-
Gus decision in the Chicago Board Of
Trade case. and extends the principle
therein announced to the transporta-
ton of cattle and their products A
further important ruling in this case
follows:
That the desire of carrier to Sc
cure additional business for it's line of
road does not justify change. in the
relation Of rates resulting in a higher
rate upon cattle and hogs, the raw ma
terial, than upon live stock products, the
manufactured article, where, as in this
case, the articles are in sharp compe-
tition with each other in markets of
purchase and sale, where it appears
that upon other lines and in other sec
tons rates are generally no higher,
and in many instances much lower, on
the. traffic prejudiced than on that ia
vored by the change, and where nu-
merous and important industries,
which have been built up and main
tanned under the former adjustment,
and those interested in such Indus
tries, will be injuriously affected by
the action taken

OMAHA PLANS PENSION
FUND FOR EMPLOYEES
Road Contemplate Formation Of Re.
firing Fund for Veterans

A pension system for aged and dis
abled employees is in progress of forma-
ton on the Omaha and is expected to
be ready for start by the middle of
February. 1t will be similar, it is said,
to that in operation on the North
Western and several other roads.
Under the plan there will be gift
to the pension fund by the directors of
the road and then it will be maintained
by monthly assessments of about per
cent of the wages of employees. The
plan contemplates the establishment of
an age limit after which the payment
of pensions becomes operative at the
option of the beneficiary.
The employees are said to heartily IA
vor the idea and high officials of the
