Jefferson City. Mo- = District At
torney Jerome of New York, in an in
terview charged that fhe Eftcsouri
Doodle prosecutions brought the law in
to disrepute and did no good, and that
the blame for cases being reversed
fell on Governor Folks successor in
the Office of circuit attorney of St.
Louis. Replying to this charge Gov
ernor Folk said Wednesday:
"Mr. Jerome is apparently in trouble
about something, else he would not be
so desperate in the effort to excuse
himself.
"A few weeks ago he was quoted as
saying that had given him an opinion
that the insurance plunderers had not

he'd civen him no opinion at all and

him on the subject.

Chicago Ill. = John Alexander
Dowie. testifying in the hearing of the
Zion City controversy in Judge Lands
court Friday afternoon, told of an in
stance when his body and soul became
separated and in his spiritual being he
saw his own dead body lying beneath
shroud. 1t occurred, he said, while he
was fighting the liquor traffic in Mel

divine warning that he was about TO
die. At another time, the witness as
serted, his spirit left his body and the
Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary
were present in the realm visited by
his spirit. This narration of life and
death was brought out during cross
examination.
Dowie denied that he had ever repre-
sented himself as Elijah the Restorer
subsequently qualifying the statement
by saying he told his people that he
came in the spirit and power of Eli
jah" On September IS, 1904, he said
he proclaimed himself as the First
Apostle" but when pressed for an ex-
PLANTATION as to how he received the
comission. he replied, 81 can't tell

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordf-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did noe exactly believe it was
injuring me although l had paIpita-
ton of the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and 1 gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time have had abb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when l tried
a small quantity of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me l must let it alone.
When we began using Postum If
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put a little bit of
butter In the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full Is min.
utes which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
have advised a great MANY of
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact 1
daily give this advice" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. There's reason"

gent. Many of the countries of Eu-
| rope, represented by a generous num-
Der of competitors in the various
events of the programme, failed to
tally even a third of what Sheridan
did alone. That he failed to win the
Penthalum, representing the all
around championship of the world,
decided by a series of contests in
five events, need not deprive him of
deserved recognition as the greatest
athlete in the world to-day In COM
peting for the high jump in the reg
ular series of events Sheridan drove
his spikes into his leg in landing, and
was incapacitated thereafter. That
he was compelled to forego the right
of competing for the all-around cham
pionship emblem was undoubtedly
a severe disappointment to him, as he
went to Athens particularly bent on
adding this worlds trophy to the ma
tional title he had already won in
America.
In the Olympic games Sheridan
won the discus throwing and the shot
put. These two are his American
specialties. In the discus he again
broke the worlds record, for which
he had three times before set new
marks. He was second in throwing
the stone, in the standing high and
broad jumps, scoring three points for
each of these events, and five for
his two victories. The highest total
scored by any other American athlete
in the games was ten, made by Ray
e. Ewry and Paul H. Pilgrim. But
these two men won through skill in
one particular line of activity, Ewry
in jumping, winning both the stand
ing high and broad jumps, and Pill
grim in running, taking the 400 and
800 meter.
He was first known in this country
as a weight thrower, having come 20
the United States from Ireland about
seven years ago, and first competed
under the colors of the Pastime Ath-
letic club, of New York. Later he
joined the Irish-American Athletic
association. He put the shot in the
amateur athletic union junior cham
pionship in 1902 and won with the
modest put of 80 feet inches. In
1904 he was so far improved on this
showing as to win the national event
with a 40-foot 91h-inch put. The
same year he turned his attention to
discus throwing, and threw it 119 feet
~ inch. He followed this up by win
ming the event in the senior metropol-
itan championship with 121 feet Y
inch, in the Olympic championship
championship. Here he made new
worlds record with the discus, throw
ing it 1873 feet 61a inches.
