WOULDN'T GO BACK To Old Days of Coffee Misery for
 Millions.

A New York lady is emphatic about coffee and in comparing her former con- dtlon when using it, with her later im- provement under Postum Food Coffee. says:
 we have used Postum instead of cof- fee for the past four years and have been greatly benefited by the change.
 q have always had a weak stomach from childhood, and about five years ago one doctor told me I must leave off coffee entirely. I thought I could not, but tried 1t for a few mornings, using cocoa In it's place, but tired of 1t.
 Then I went back to coffee and kept getting worse, until my stomach was un- able to hold or digest much of anything.
 One day I got hold of a little book let The Road to Wellville.' I read it and decided to try Postum.
 T got better as time went on and we all learned to like 1t so well that now we use 1t to the exclusion of everything else in the line of drink at table.
 This summer I went away for two weeks and my husband took his meals at the restaurant. As he did not drink coffee he asked for Postum. They brought 1t to him, pale, weak stuff,' made in a hurry. ft lA |
 But the first morning after I returned home he said. Oh, it seems good to have a cup of Postum that's made right" At the restaurant, He sdlu' lhey uiu Hol ooii 1t long enough, (Postum must be well boiled to get the delicious fiavor-see d. rections).
 T would not use coffee again and go back to the old days of suffering for mil loins I have a friend who drank Postum for two weeks. during a siege of typhoid fever, the only nourishment she took In all that time and she came out all right. I would be willing to give s1.00 box for Postum rather than use coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Melville" In pkgs. There's a Reason.

 Dr. Bragg does not care what is dope, just so 1t Is done quickly and sanitary quarters are furnished the prisoners. Dr. Stagg wants no less than a total re- moval
 With all of these propositions before them yesterday the board could not come to a conclusion. They are still determined to so slow and choose the best plan. A committee consisting of K. N. Rhodes. the Rev. Father Coyle. B. A. Thomp- son and pr. Stagg waited on the board and argued for their contention, receiving close attention, but no sign of reply.
 The only thing that was done yesterday was the employing of the Labelle kribs Architect company to draw plans for re- pairing the old Jail There are still some members of the board who will not con sent to any new building at all.

 BUCKS IN HEAD Another Man Robbed In the
 Railroad Yards HAD JUST DRAWN HIS PAY Victim Says Robbers Were Negroes. Believed to Be tho same Who
 Killed Close and Robbed
 Domestic Laundry.
HAD JUST DRAWN HIS PAY

Highwaymen got in their work again last night Within a few blocks of the tragic scene of Saturday night they de- 1lheratey knocked another man fin the head, almost directly under an electric light. and robbed him of $S1, his months pay
 B. F. Bucks, a white man. was the vic- tim this time. Luckily for him, the first blow stunned him, or he would have been killed as was c. B. Close on Sunday morning. It Is an undoubted fact that the highwaymen were the same in both cases. and there Is good ground to sus- pect the same men are the safe blowers who relieved the Domestic laundry re- gently.
 Started Home From City.
 Yesterday afternoon MT. Bucks, who is an old man, though very large received his pay at the Southern shops, where the money was distributed later than 10 the roadmen who got their money Saturday. He had gone up town, and at about s o'clock started home, walking up First avenue to Twenty-fourth street, and go- ing across the railroad tracks. Just about 100 feet on the far side of the electric light, two men were standing, but he paid no attention to them.
 As, he passed. one of them raised his hand with a big gun in it, and as MT. Bucks lodged 1t struck hhn a glancing blow on the head. which staggered him. The two men then caught him and dragged him some hundred yards up be- tween two tracks, on which box cars were standing.
 At thls point he came to his senses, and engaged in a struggle with them, but one stood on his chest. whils the other went through the pockets. extracting the pay envelope, which had never even been opened.
 Both Frightened Away.
 They dld not stop to take the watch, but were frightened by sona noise and dodged under the freight cars. MT. Bucks to the light, and there sat down until he could collect himself. He says there was never anyone in sight, although he is or the opinion that the robbers were fright ened away. The fiagman happened to be on the other sido of a string of cars tbat was being switched.
 Bucks then went on to his home, 2601 Avenue D, and his sons hiTrSied out in chase The police headquarters and the sderiff's office were notified. and d@taila were sent out, but to no avail.
 The description of the two fellows tallie5 exactly with others that have been given under similar circumstances. MT. Bucks is sure os them being negroes. An effort will be made to put a stop to their depre- dations, and especial vigilance will be put forth In and around the railroad yards.

So many and various are the conflict ing plans that continue to sway back and forth before the eyes of the county Board of Revenue, that the time for adopting a definite course becomes more and more remote In the first place Sheriff Higdon is crying for relief, then Dr. Bragg Is demanding a change. while the Rev. pr. stagg and others insist that tho jail be entirely removed from the pres ent site.
 Sheriff Hlgdon is of the opinion that a modern, well proport<ned, and thor oughly planned structure should be built on the old site. He does not believe that a jail anywhere but beside the court house is practical, as 1t would give all kinds of trouble in handling the prison CTS, and they would thus cost the county more in transit. He says, should the proper plans be carried out, the exterior of the building would be an ornament

GROSS EXACCERATION.

Complaints have been made from
various sources against the exag-
gerated reports sent to outside
newspapers by local correspon-
dents. While it may not have
been intentional, some misleading
statements have been published re-
garding the condition of the roads
and weather. When an article lie
published to the effect that the
roads are impossible, travellers
naturally hesitate before attempts
ing to complete their journeys to
Grangeville. For instance, one
day this week local stage man
received three kilograms from Spo-
kane asking if travellers could
possibly reach Sites from Grange-
vile. One implied that an article
had been published in Spokane
paper to the effect that the roads
were impossible and stage traffic
abandoned, and the sender even
asked If he could get through on
horseback. The recent exagger-
dated reports concerning the loss OF
cattle on the Snake and Salmon
rivers is another instance Of care.
lessness in newspaper reporting.
Cases are very seldom intentional,
but, nevertheless, too much care
cannot be taken in this matter.
