. HARD FIGHT WITH FIRE
st. LOuis. Firemen Have a
and anger Task in the
Wholesale District.

St. Louis, Feb. 16.-Firemen had
thrilling experiences Thursday in fight
ing a fire which destroyed three six
story buildings in the wholesale dis
trict on Lucas avenue, running the
stocks of several factories and whole
sale houses. and throwing hundreds Of
women and men out of employment.
The financial loss is $4,000. The dan
ger and discomfort of the firemen and
salvage corps were increased by the
cold, which quickly covered floors and
walls with ice. Two were injured and
several had narrow escapes from
death. The wrecked buildings were oc-

D WHICH KING?
t3The More Postum the More Food
The More Coffee the More
Poison"

The Pres. of the w. C. T. U. in a
young giant state in the Northwest
says:
st did not realize that / was a slave
to coffee till / left off drinking it. For
three or four years / was obliged to
take a nerve tonic every day. Now
/ am free, thanks to Postum Food
Coffee.
"After finding out what coffee will
do to it's victims, I could hardly stand
to have my husband drink it; but he
was not willing to quit. l studied for
months to find a way to induce him
to leave it of. Finally I told him I
would make no more coffee.
II got Postum Food Coffee, and made
1t strong-boiled 1t the required time,
and had him read the little book, The
Road to Wellville,' that in every
pkg.
To-day Postum has no stronger ad-
vocate than my husband! He tells our
friends how to make it, and that he
got through the winter without q spell
OF the grip and has not had a headache
for months-he used to be subject to
frequent nervons headaches.
.The stronger you drink Postum the
more food you get; the stronger you
drink coffee the nor poison you get"

WITH EIGHTEEN GOLD TEETH
WHO KNOWS OF A MISSING MAN
WHO HAD THEM.
Discovery Of n skeleton Near st.
Louis That Points to u Murder
During the Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Feb. 17.-Thursday even
ing, while clearing away some under
brush on the Clecburg place, three
miles west of Bonfils, st. Louis coun-
ty, Frederick Schroeder discovered
the skeleton of a man partially i'm
bedded in silt that had been deposited
by the overflow of the Missouri river.
The skeleton was that of a mar about
5 feet Z inches in height, and appeared
to have been dressed in clothes of
good quality. The fact that the hat
was still upon the head and that the
underground was dense indicated that
the body had not been washed in there
by the flood.
A good prospect of Identification is
afforded in the fact that the skeleton
has IS gold teeth, four ~gold-capped on
a bridge in the front of the upper jaw
and at each end of the bridge a solid
gold tooth, four capped with gold on
the upper left side and two capped
with gold on the upper right side.
There were three of solid gold in the
lower front and two on the left lower
side of solid gold, and one capped.
That he could afford to spend on
dentistry as much Is the gold teeth
must have cost indicates that his cir
cumstances were probably such a. to
offer inducements to the criminals
who operated in st. Louis county dur
ing the Worlds fair to kill him for his
money.

WISE N WEIGHTY.

1--WE grow strong by duties performed.
We grow morally and spiritually weak
by duties neglected"
1.-The ventures of faith are ever re-
warded. We cannot set our expectations
too high. What we dare scarcely hope
now, we shall one day remember"
THE gold in the quartz is valuable,
but the gold purified by fire is more val
liable. The ordeal of suffering makes the
good more beautiful. 1t is the smelling of
the ore"
Courage is the great quality. 1t must
rest on faith, of course; for few of US
could be courageous if we stood alone.
1t is fed by hope and it lives by love. But
somehow it is the fine flower in this
trouble life of all these high qualities"

ter of a shallow pond and drowned with

Avery tried to kill himself Wednes-
day night at a hotel in Cairo, but was
saved by a physician. He afterward es-
capped from a guard and left Cairo,
boarding a morning train for East st.
Louis. He did not attract any particu,
lar attention on the train, which he left
at Ce%nterville. He walked across tho
track to a pond, broke the thin ice at
the edge with his foot, removed his coat
and then lay down and stuck his head in
the water.
Several passengers noted the mans
queer actions. They at first thought
he was preparing to wash his face, but
as the train moved off they saw that
he remained prone on the ground. They
spoke to the conductor about the incl
dent.
The conductor mentioned the matter
to Yardmaster Bennett when the train
reached East st. Louis at II a. M, and
he telegraphed to Centerville making
inquiries. An answer was received
saying that the mans body had been
found.
Bennett went to Centerville on q
switch engine and examined the body.
Two notes were found. One was writ
ten on the back of a receipt and read:
ITO My Dear Wife: If l am dead 1t
is not by my own hand. A tough gang
have me in bad. F. R. AVERY"
The other note was in an envelope
addressed to ]. b. Bartholomew, Peoria,
III. The envelope was sealed, but there
was no paper inside. The note was
scrubbed on the inside Of the envelope
and read:
