REMOVAL OF JURORS
COMMONWEALTH SCORES A vICT-
 ORY IN lsOwERSs TRIAL.
The Order of the Court Combining the Two Grant County venires,
 Gives Rise Again To Fed- erar cuesff0n.

Georgetown, Ky, Nov. 2e--In the Caleb Powers trial this morning. the Commonwealth scored victory by having three jurors removed from the panel for cause without exhausting any more of their peremptory chai- lenges.
 Two of the jurors discharged are RepubIicans, while the politics of the other is doubtful. The defense retal- lated by announcing 1t would challenge the entire setond Grant County ye- nire, which reported yesterday for jury service, on the ground of irreg- ularity and partisan disctimipation In lits seiectfon This general challenge was based on the alleged spartisan act- ion of Deputy Sheriff Jack Chtpfnan and Arthur GoebeI. who accompanied the sileriffs party.
 Over the objection of the Commop- wealth, the motion and afiidayits ten- dered by the defense challenging the second Grant County venire were all lowed to be filed. The court granted States Attorney Franklin, time to ex- anime the documents with a view of filing counter affidayits.
 The order of the court combining the lists of the two yenires from Grant County gives rise again to a to the idea that being ordered to re- port on separate days, they are sub- feet to a separate challenge. No ob- lection is offered to the first or Fri- day yenire summoned by Sheriff War ring in person. The objection is en- tirely on the second venfre. which was summoned by Deputy T. K. Snuff, who was High Sheriff at the time of Pow ers's former trials in Scott County.
 Attorney William Smith. for the de- fense, suggested that these veniremen from Grant County first summoned be exhausted in an attempt to obtain a iury in order that the necessity for attack on the second venire be obviat- ed' The court ordered the names of the second 150 venirem.n to be put In the jury box with the others. The defense will offer certain authorities In an effort to show that the court is in error The court this afternoon over rnIed a motion to set aside the venire.
 The affidavit of Powers. in support of inc defense's motion to discharge inc entire second venire from Grant County sets up practically the same objections that he had to the second Harrison County venire. that IS, the efYect of the Democratic campaign hand book circulated in the Demo- cratic County of Grant and also the acts of Deputy J. w. Chapman Of Grant in influencing Scott County den,Jty sheriff Tn summoning the second venire of 15O men to report yester- day. H

BARS TITLE OF AUToCRAr.

 Enth usiasm.

i-i
 St. Petersburg. Nov. zs.-The Douma tonight decreed that the title of auto crat which has been borne by the Emperors of Russia for cepturies. IS no longer tenable within the Russian state. and Is incompatible with the regime inaugurated by the manifesto issued by Emperor Nicholas on Oct. 3o 1905.
 At the close of a great constitutional debate. the Russian Parliament, by a vote of 11s to 246. rejected the word "autocrat" and then adopted a reply to the address from the throne unani- mously amid scenes of intense excite ment, prolonged cheers and the sing ing of the national anthem.
 The result of the resolution is re- garded as victory for the Constitu- tionaI Democrats under the leadership of Professor Paul N. Mflukoff. who succeeded in forcing the octoberists' hand. The final vote was taken after he<demonstrative withdrawal of the Extreme Right (reactionaries). the Social Democratic members of the group of toil and the Poles.

Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper In a large business
house in one of our great western cities
speaks of the harm coffee did for him:
my wife and I drank our first cup of
Postum coffee a little over two years ago,
and we have used 1t ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and the old kind
of coffee 1t happened in this way;
"Apout three and half years ago l had
an attack of pneumonia, which left a
memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or
rather. to speak more correctly, neural
gia of the stomach. My cup of cheer
had always been coffee or tea. but l
became convinced, after time, that they
aggravated my stomach trouble. hap
pened to mention the matter to my gro
Ger one day and he suggested that
give Postum Food Coffee a trial.
Next day it came. but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling it sufficiently,
and We did not like it much. This was,
however, soon remedied, and now we like
it so much that we will never change
back. Postum, being a food beverage in
stead Of a drug, has been the means of
curing my stomach trouble. l verify be-
lieve, for l am a well man today and
have used no other remedy.
MY work as chief bookkeeper in our
company's branch house here is of very
combining nature. During my coffee-drink-
ing days | was subject to nervousness
and the blues in addition to my sick
spells. These have left me since l be-
gan using Postum Food Coffee, and |
can conscentiously recommend it to those
whose work confines them to long hours
of severe mental exertion." There's a
Reason" Name given by Postum Co.,
