LIKE OPIUM EATERS.
cohee Drinkers Become Slaves.


 ''The experience, suffering and slav- cry of some coffee drinkers would be almost as interesting as the famous Confessions of an Opium Eater says a Boston man.
 For twenty years I used coffee at the breakfast table, and incidentally, through the day, craved is as whis- key thinker longs for his morning bracer. l knew perfectly well that it was slowly killing me- but I could not relinquish 1t.
 "The effect on the nervous system was finally alarming and my general health greatly impaired. I had dys- pepsia, serious heart difficulty and in- somnia. When I would lie down I would almost suffocate. My doctor as- sured me it was due to the action of caffeine (which is the active principle of coffee) on the heart
 T persisted in it's use, however, and suffered along just as drunkards do. One day, when l was feeling unusually depressed friend, whom l met, look ed me over and said: Now, look here, old man, l believe I know exactly what's the matter with you. You are coffee fiend and it's killing you. I want to tell you my experience. I drank coffee and it ruined my nerves, affect ed my heart and made me a sallow, bilious old man, but through a friend who had been similarly afflicted I found a blessed relief and want to tell you ahoIlt if Try Postum Food Coffee a grateful, delicious beverage, full of nourishment that will satisfy your taste for coffee and feed your nervous system back to health, rather than tear it down, as coffee has been doing.
 T took my friends advice, and with in week from that time my digestion seemed perfect, I slept a sweet, refresh ing sleep all night, and my heart quit its quivering and jumping. I have been steadily gaining in health and vi- tality right along"

He was sorry the baron would not have the time to meet them all so he would extend greetings in their behalf He said he would endeavor to have his excellency promise to pay another visit. when they would all have a chance to meet him. He counted himself fortunate that the first minis ter of a foreign country to visit New Britain should come during his ad- ministration.
 At the close Rev. Dr. Norelius of Vasa, Minn,, president of the synod, extended thanks to the mayor on be- half of the synod. It was voted by the synod to cable King Oscar thanks for his greetings through his minister. The cable was signed by Rev, ,Dr. Norelius, Rev. s. G. Ohman and Rev. J. G. Dahlberg of Rock Island, secre- tary of the synod.
 The synod proceeded with the work of acting on the constitution and by a vote of ninety-four to thirty adopted the clause which provides for women's suffrage in the affairs of the churches but does not allow for their holding off, fees. Female voting is recommended to the individual churches and Is not incumbent upon them. A report was made on the work of the home mis-
 sion board and 1t showed that splen- did work had been done. There is a
 debt of $1O,0OO which it is hoped to
 clear off. It was decided to have an evening business session as there was
 so much remaining to be acted on. Among other things reported on are the deaconesses' work at Omaha
 Neb., and the Augustana Book Con-

 this noon, but the session may last
 until along in the afternoon. It is
 hoped at any rate to finish up to-day

LOCAL YARDMAsrERs ESCAPE.
Falls in Front of Switch Engine. but
 Escapes Serious Injury.


 Andrew McQueeney the yardmaster of the N. Y, N. II. & H. R. R.. very narrowly escaped death Tuesday after noon, when he fell from the footboard of a switch engine, on which he was riding. Mir. McQueeney, thanks to his corpulency, can still number himself among the living, as the running board was too low to pass over his body, il just rolling him along. The engineer took in the situation at a glance, and applied the emergency brakes, bringing the engineto a stop almost immediate ly. McQueeney was rolled along in front of the fender, and just before the switcher ceased moving disappeared un- der the footboard,
 There was some doubt as to the best way to get at the injured man, there being two courses open: one to back up the engine, and the other, to jack up the locomotive. The latter course was followed, and McQueeney was re- moved from directly in front of the wheels of the forward truck. The yard master was not injured very much, suf- fering a confusion of the ribs and strained back. He expects to be up and about his usual duties in few days.

SECRET SERVICE MAN
WAS MURDERED
Joseph Walker Killed BY a Miner who
He Had Ordered to Halt Near Den
yer, Colorado Yesterday.


Denver, Colo, Nov. 4.--Joseph Walker
a United States secret service man, was
shot and killed yesterday by an employe
Of the Hesperus mine, several miles west
of Durango, Colo. The Hesperus mine
is owned by the Porter Fuel company
and c. G. Dorsey, attorney for the COM
pany received a report Of the killing last
night.
Dorsey's report says the government
agents have been in Durango for sew
eral days gathering evidence to be used
In prosecuting persons indicted for
fraudulent entries on coal lands.
This being Sunday, no work was be-
ing done in the Hesperus mine, and sew
eral of the miners strolling over the
property, saw man in the air shaft.
He ordered the miners to halt. The
miners thought he was Joking and did
not obey, whereupon, according to Dor
sey's story, the man fred, the bullet
passing close TO a miner who whipped
out revolver and returned the fire,
killing the man instantly. Investigation
showed that he was Joseph Walker.
A rope ladder that had been let down
into the air shaft was hauled up. Some
time afterward, three other government
agents appeared at the mine entrance,
being unable to get out any other way.
Dorsey says there was no reason for
tine secret service men to enter the
Hesperus mine, because the title to the
property is not questioned.
