would be almost impossible for me to

have severe bilious attacks, and my
heart would fiutter painfully when l
would walk fast or sweep.
n II have taken enough medicine to
start a small drug store, without any
benefit. One evening our grocer was
asking husband how I was and he
urged that l quit coffee and use
Postum, so he brought home a pkg.
and made it according to directions
and we were both delighted with it.
$50 we quit coffee altogether and
used only Postum. began to get bet

other person, the color came back to
my cheeks, began to sleep we'll, my
appetite was good and commenced
to take on flesh and become interested
in everything about the house.
Finally I was able to do all my own
work without the least sign of my old
trouble. I am SO thankful for the little
book, The Road to Wellville.' It has
done me so much good. I haven't
taken medicine Of any kind for six
months and don't need any.

ferences.
Chicago, ILL.,, April 5.-The differ.
ences between the western railroads
and the msmbers of the Order OF
Conductors and of the Brotherhood
OF Railway Trainmen were finally
adjusted yesterday. The men aban.
doned their demand for nine hour
work day, and the railroads made an
advance over their previous propo-
sitions in the pay Of baggagemen,
fagmen and brakemen OF $3.50 per
month. The original demands of the
men were, for an increase Of IL per
cent and for working day Of nine
hours. The managers offered an In.
crease in pay Of 10 per cent and de.
clined to grant the nine hour day.
The agreement was reached main
ly through the efforts of Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission and Commissioner OF
Labor Neill. They formulated the
final proposition on which both sides
were brought together.

CASSIE'S
JEWELS
Must be Passed Upon by the
Federal Court of New
York Instead of
Cleveland.

Cincinnati, April 3.-The possess
sion OF the valuable jewels of Mrs.
Cassie Chadwick must be passed
upJn by the federal courts In New
York City instead Of Cleveland, ac-
cording to a decision announced yes
terday by the United States circuit
court of appeals in this city.
The jewelry, said to be worth
several thousand dollars, was al
legged to have been smuggled into
this country from france by Cassie
Chadwick. The opinion upholds
the United States Court at Cleve-
land which held it had no jurisdic-
ton over the questions arising as
to the legality of the seizure, and
that the case should be heard in the
New York courts, the jewels having
teen in New York City when found
and . confiscated by United States
Collector OF Customs Charles p.
Leach, OF Cleveland.
Under the circumstances this will
probably be begun over again, this
time in the New York courts. The
jewels in question are said to have
been placed with j. w. Friend, of
Pittsburg, as collateral security for u
large sum of money Friend Is al
legged to have loaned Mrs. Chadwick
Friend sent them to Adrian II. Lark
in a jeweler in New York City, and
IL was there Collector Leach, Of
cleveland, found them. AS the
gems were said TO have been snug
gled into the country the govern
|ment claimed the right to Appropriate
them and to sell them at public auc-
pute Is as to whether the New York
OF the Cleyeland authorities have
the right to confiscate them.

GRADE CROSSINGS .

The following taken from the
Toledo Press, while it does not ap-
ply to the case in Marion, since it
refers to the building of new lines
of railway, reflect the sentiment
against grade crossings and is APP
plicable to the condition in Mar
ion at the present time.
Marion is just now considering
the proposition of lowering the
tracks of two of the railroads
while Toledo is endeavoring Ia
prevent the Glover Leaf from
making grade crossings. A portion
of the Toledo Press article fol.
lows:
"The urgency Of competent re-
strictions against the building OF
railroads across streets at grade in
the midst Of crowded population, is
such as TO call for some sort of
action to perfect existing laws on
this subject, il they are not now
in such shape as to provide ade-
quate conditions. The next legisla-
ture should be asked to make such
enactments as will bring about the
desired result. In this case, cross
ing at grade, while it saves the
railroad some money, was entirely
unnecessary, for the reason that
there were opportunities to cross
both above and below grade in a
manner inexpensive and without
great inconvenience otherwise.
In any event, the question Of
the safety Of the people and an
uninterrupted course Of travel upon
active thoroughfares ought to be
the first consideration. The grade
crossing in large city should be
debarred absolutely by law. Rail
roads that enter the territory OF
crowded population should be will
ing to spend enough money and so
dispose their tracks as to respond
to conditions of public safety and
convenience. The legislature OF
Ohio should take account of the in
stance presented by the Glover
Leaf case at Erie street and
strengthen the laws on the statue
books in this regard so that the
public will be amply projected
so certainly so that to defend them
in a matter of this character will
not even require resort to the
court.
