Will Not Offset the III Effects of Coffee
 When One Cannot Digest It.
A farmer says l:

Tt was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eat ing. There were times when 1 could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength.
 T doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted lit- tie while until I was almost a walking skeleton
 "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge:
 "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place I have regained my health entirely and can eat any thing that is cooked to eat. have increased in weight until now weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge.
 My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling | bad they began to use Postum, one at ! a time, until now we all use Postum." " Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle i Creek, Mich.

He Is Not CrazY.

For some days a special agent of the Department of Justice has been in Fort Smith looking up the record of c. c. Waller, with a view to a prosecution for using the mails for fraudulent purposes. It is claimed that letters sent out by Wal Ter in his effort to boost the Southern Bank and Trust Company contained fraudulent representations, and for that reason he is amenable to the postal laws. It is also stated that two prominent physicians of Dallas have examined MT Waller, who is in the Texas state insane asylum, and have pronounced him sane. If that be true, he will likely be brought to Fort Smith for trial in connection with criminal charges against him on ac- count of the collapse of the Southern Bank and Trust Company.

The baseball fans on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, will witness a game of baseball altogether different from the article played by Harry Vaughn and his bunch of Barons. Indians play Lan, but In a manner wholly different from that played in the authorized or Canfzations of America The game Is mixture of football. basketball and base ball, without the essential features of either. The sport will be novel and inter ostiny The teams are made up of about twenty Indians each, Indians who live in Mississippi, and who are the champion ex- ponents of the art as played by the red men.
 The game is started in the center of the field The ball is thrown into the air. and the players endeavor to start it in direction opposite the respective goals The start Is something In the nature of basketball, only the hands are not used. The Indians have two sticks with hol- low ends. in which the sphere Is caught

THE CRISIS REACHED.

. The invasion of the east by the
 . western clubs Is at an end Now . every team has the same number . of games abroad and the same . number at home. It is a fight to e the finish. The home stretch has
 . been reached, and every game Is of
 c. vital importance.
 . The Barons have some advantage
 . on account of the lead, and the ex- . ce1lent and consistent article of ball
 ' that has been played. The double . header season Is something of
 . cloud over the horizon. The Ba- e- rons will have to nerve themselves
 .- to meet that cloud. The pitchers
 . will have to go over time, but they . are strong and willing. The pen {, nant is not cinched, but if the next . and last western trip results as . good as an even break, the thir- ,- teen scheduled games for the home ,- lot on the return, and the eight or . ten postponed games that can be . played, will practically place the . rag in the hands of the locals. It s- behooves the Barons to begin get c ting their nerves in a bunch for the e final stretch. The day Is waning . but the night will be full of moon
 . and stars if the Barons have done . well-landed the rag.
 c Hard roads are ahead But It IS C a little man who grumbles at . enverything but smoothness.

willingness of the local twirlers. They realize that no better quartette exists in the south than that made up of Wilhelm, Ragan. clark and Sallee. They see In Wilhelm the skillful twirler with long and cool head, who has the most brilliant record of the season. They see Tn 'Gln-- ger" Clark the man with the ball that cannot be hit and one of the most sterl- ing in Dixie. They see in Ragan pitch CT of remarkable strength, one of the best all round men in the south, who has lost few games since the recovery of his strength. In Sallee they behold the best young pitcher in the south, whose recent slump was not due to any decrease in natural ability In the four, they see the staff that will land the rag for Birming- ham.
 Brunt on Pitchers.
 The fans realize that the brunt of the fierce battles to come will fall on the pitchers. They realize that another good man would materially lessen the burden that rests on the four pairs of broad shoulders. They realize, however that the four men enrolled are the best for the task assigned them that could possibly be discovered The twirlers, in addition to their ability, are good fellows, and not 2 quartette of disgruntled fighters, who would enter into any little alley of ex cuse, and lay quietly down during ths bombardment. For that reason, the fans are not despairlng.
 The local fans begin to realize the im- possibility of getting another pitcher. The only way under the sun that Vaughn could add a pitcher would be to dismiss one of the two backstops. Before the fans would see either Matthews or Garvin sent to the timbers, after the faithfulness or their service and their real ability they would gladly give Charlie Frank or Charlie Babb the glory rag of battle.
 The best of humor prevails, and the players have the confidence of those who support them. The fans are certain that the Barons will continue to make use of their skill and best endeavor. They are certain that every defeat will come only after the Barons are honestly beaten. For this reason there Is little uneasiness con- cerning the result.
 The fans expect to see the gaudy rag flying over West End when the teams line up next season.

HOW THE INDIANS PLAY
 THEIR NATIONAL GAME

The game resembles football and basket ball in the manner that the ball is car ried up and down the field. The only dif- ference is that the players use their sticks and throw the sphere The accuracy with which the ball is caught by expert play CTS Is wonderful. Instead of throwing the ball into basket as is basketball. it is thrown against q pole about six inches in diameter The game Is ended when one side manages to strike the pole of the other with the ball thrown from the sticks. The accuracy in throw ing the ball Is another wonderful fea- ture. The game Is sldllful and rough, too. resembling. in the latter aspect. the great gridiron game.
 The Indians appearing In Birmingham the last three games of this week, on the days in which the Barons will be absent, are trained fin the sport, and will furnish much amusement Tho sport will he a most novel and interesting attrac- ton. The gaze is an old one with h. dlars, 1t having been played, according to tradition, in the colonial days.
