was presented, and was not intro
duced. So Mr.. Sargent decided to put
his wife in with the other patents at
tina Topeka asylum.
Instead of bringing the unfortunate
woman back 10 Kansas IN the private
apartment of a Pullman car, Mr.. Sar-
gent secured a private car, and had
it taken direct through to Wichita.
where the probate judge and several
doctors met the car, and conducted
the legal formalities necessary to adj
judge Mrs. Sargent insane, and COM
NIT her to the asylum The private
car was then hauled back to Topeka,
and the woman placed in a carriage,
accompanied by her husband and the
two nurses, and taken out to the
asylum
Mr.. Sargent's strong devotion to his
wife, which even induced him to pro-
vide a private car at heavy expense to
bring her to Kansas. is one of the
most striking things about this very
sad affair. After his long and terrible
experience Mr.. Sargent himself was al
most in a state of nervous collapse
when he arrived in Topeka. He is
said TO be a preacher of extra ordinary
ability. his services commanding a
salary of $4,000 a year in Wichita

EMPTY CANISTER

A housewife found the coffee can

blessing to her husband and mother.
Up to about four years ago 1 had
been a great coffee drinker.
In an hour or two after my usual
morning cup, I would be weak and
nervous.
"A friend told me must quit
drinking coffee and suggested that 1

enjoy the taste of Postum very much.

that / did not make it right.

and soon l was enjoying my Postum
as much as I had formerly enjoyed
coffee. The headaches quit as well as
the weak, nervous feelings and the
improvement in my health was COM
mented on by my family and close
friends.
For some time I served both coffee
and Postum at our table, as my moth

their coffee One morning I found
the coffee canister empty SO I took
special pains in preparing the Postum

IN PRIVATE CAR
Insane Patient Brought to To-
peka State Hospital.
Wife Of Rev. C. s. Sargent,
Wichita Preacher.
BROUGHT FROM BOSTON
Devoted Husband Gave Afflicted
Woman Every Attention.
Heartbroken, Compelled at Last
to Surrender to Inevitable.

From Boston to Wichita in a pri-
vate car, and thence back TO Topeka
in the same car, Mrs. Mary P. Sar-
gent, raving insane, was yesterday
delivered into the custody of the au-
thoritfes of the Topeka state asylum
for the insane by her husband, the
Rev Clarence s. Sargent, pastor of
Plymouth Congregational church of
Wichita, one of the leading churches
of the state.
The unfortunate woman was bound
about with strips of canvas to prevent
her from doing injury to herself or
others She was accompanied on her
long Journey in the private car by two
nurses, a doctor. and her husband,
whose tender and loving care to his
afflicted wife is most touching. And
yet, as the woman was turned over TO
the asylum authorities, she screamed
at her husband:
You are responsible for all this!
You are the man who has caused me
this trouble." And she berated and
abused the man who had stood so
loyalty by her and had done so much
for her.
Mrs. Sargent has been insane for
about a year. II is thought that her
insanity was due to the effects of an
operation. She never was in her
right mind after that operation She
claimed to hear voices. and the voices
directed her to kill and destroy. She
was taken by her husband from Wich-
tia to Boston. where she was treated
by some of the leading doctors of the
country. She was given baths and
repose. and careful medical treatment

II is said to be the purpose of the

Inc purpose of controlling the vote of
the district, and at the proper time
delivering it to the candidate selected

Dealers anticipate Will be carried into

vote of the Seventh district, though
neither one of these men is lined up

have shown sufficient backbone to ex-
ercise their own Judgment in legfsla-
tive matters Alex C. Mitchell would
probably not be able to get very far
as machine candidate in the Sec
ond, even If he were disposed to line
up with that crowd. H. B. Miller in
the Fourth district will probably get
into the race If he has a chance, and
while he is counted as one of the ''old
line" crowd. ne voted against the SEN
ate lodge during the whole of the re-
cent session.
The machine figures that it may
have to take up with a man like F'itz-
gerald. Miller or Morgan as a COM
promise candidate against the man
selected by the square dealers. They
would much prefer to accept one of
these men rather than Stannard, Ham
or Stone. who are talked of for the
Square Deal nomination.
If the machine could have its pick
of the lot it would no doubt choose
Joe BurroW, who represents every ele-
ment deemed highly desirable by the
political ring. But Mr.. Burrow is not
a strong candidate 1t is doubtful
whether he could even carry the Sixth
district Some say he couldn't even
carry his own county.

GETTING TOGETHER.

While it did not occupy as much
space in the newspapers, there was
held in Baltimore last week a meet
ing which is likely to be as far reach
ing in its influence as the Afro
American Council. A number of
Bishops of the Colored Methodist
Episcopal, African Methodist Episco-
pal and African Methodist Episcopal
Zion churches assembled in that city
and discussed plans for a closer re-
lation between the several denomina-
lions which they represented.
Nothing startling occurred at the
meeting, but the simple fact of its
being harmonious and arrangements
being perfected for another next
fall, offers encouragement to those
who have all along commended that
these three organizations, separated
by an invisible line, should get to-
gether, as has been done by the
white churches Of the same denomi-
| nations, and direct their battles
against the common enemy from one
instead Of three separate and distinct
headquarters.
Combination in religious as we'll
as secular organizations is the trend
of the times, and in some Of the COM
| binations the colored brother has
! found himself on the outside, so far
out in fact, that he has begun to en-
tertain the fear that his quondam re-
| ligiOus associates would, If they
could, bar against him the gates of
Paradise. Nothing is more natural
then than that, since they have the
world and the devil to fight, they
should enroll In one army under one
banner. BY so doing they would re-
move the friction existing in those
communities where each has q
