Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found a better capaci-
~ and greater endurance by using Pos
tum Food Coffee, instead of ordinary
coffee. An Illinois woman writes:
II had drank coffee for about
twenty years. and finally had what the

THIEVES SCORH POLICE
Rob One of Most Centrally Located
Lodging Houses
in Civ.

In the midst of the jubilation of Chief
of Police Thomas D. Pitt and his staff
over the arrest of gang of alleged lodg-
ing house robbers. the real hotel thieves,
apparently for the purpose of showing
their scorn of the police continued as
usual their work OF footing the rooms of
downtown hotels. Last night the room
of Mrs. McMahon at the st, Nicholas no.
tel was entered by these thieves. her
trunks broken open and ransacked.
The loot acquired by the hotel burglars
in their latest raid does not amount TO a
great deal in value, but their contempt
of the police department is evidenced by
their daring ia breaking into the room
on the night following the alleged capture
of the thieves who have been a menace
TO rOOming house keepers for the past
two weeks
The entrance to Mrs. McMahon's room
was gained through the use of skeleton
key. Once inside, the burglars broke open
her trunks and carried away the more
valuable of the contents The plumber
consisted of aenumber of dresses and 9th
er articles of the wardrobe of Mrs. Nc
Mahon. It is probably needless TO add
that the police have no clue to the iden-
tity OF those responsible for the theft.

has for months been kept away from his
work by illness. turned out in numbers
last night for the benefit rendered him in
the theatre The programme was one OF
the most interesting, ever given in Salt
Lake City. and the benefit netted Mr.
Gibson upwards o. $500 The way the
people responded % the call was beau
tiful to see. 1t was perhaps the first
time in all the history Of the Salt Lake
theatre that every individual who passed
through the doors put some real money
into the cash drawer. The directors of
the playhouse paid for their seats, Man
ager George d. Piper paid his own way
in and so did everybody else. And the
performance was well worth the money.
The opening by the Juvenile band. IN
der the direction of p. Christensen. was
a revelation to most of the audience.
Those youngsters gave a selection with
the finish, precision and melody of an
adult band organization Of long standing
and established their regulations as mu-

MURDER OF DIR. DAVENPORT
Handsome Young Woman of Ada, I. T.,
 Held by Commissioner for Crime.

Ada, I. T., March 23.-Mrs. Mary E. Brooks, a handsome young woman, who came here from Arkansas some time ago, was tried today for the murder of Dr. J. w. Davenport before United States Commissioner Winn and held to the grand jury to answer to the charge. Evidence against her was altogether circumstantial, the chief witnesses being bloodhoudds, which ran her down from the body to the house where she was stay ing. It was also in evidence that she was the mistress of the dead man and that he had abandoned her. She affirms her innocence and her attorneys have applied to Federal Judge Dickerson at Chick asha from her release. Mrs. Brooks has two children, and her husband, who is a railroad man, is expected here at once to aid her. He left her two years ago upon finding out the relations existing between her and Dr. Davenport. Her father has been with her dur ing the trial, which lasted two days.
 Dr. Davenport was brother of Mrs. Barney Arthur of Wooster, this county, who was called to Ada on account of his death. He was also brother of James l.. Daven- port, prominent attorney of Vinita, I. T., who formerly lived in this county.
