LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 22.-Be-
cause OF the attacks made upon the
AIdrieh currency bill by Senator La
Toilette, together with his demand
ing of rollcalls on that bill, Senator

My Dear Mr.. Willis: | have your

II IL ayOwedIy only an emergency
measure; II lasts merely the length
Of time to permit us to develop a

does Il in an utterly unobjectionable
manner. II does not accomplish very
much, but Il does accomplish some

Threats Are Made to Blow Up
the NJ. E. Pastor at Chanute.
Would Also Destroy the Church
and the Parsonage.
A BLACK HANDLETTER
Pooling Too Much With PrOhi-
bitiOn, Says Writer.
The Church Offers $215 Reward
for Author of Note.

Chanute, Kan, March 1.-THE sensa-
ton in Methodist circles here Is a let
ter received by the pastor, the Rev. L
B. Pulliam. The letter Is an anonymous
one. threatening humiliation for him
self. the church building and the par
sonage unless "he stops his monkeying
with prohibition
The letter was signed THE Five"
and bore sketch of black hand. It
began: You morphine fiend
where would you get your drug If the
drug stores were out of business
1t continued with the threat that
unless the pastor quit his 60 mon
key1ng with prohibition" he would be
blown up, as well as the house in which
he lives and the building belonging to
the church of which he is pastor. and
concluded with an admonition to be-
ware, lest he should meet God sud-
den."
The church board of trustees. which
had known nothing of it until it was
made public last evening, met while the
pastor was commenting upon 1t. and
offered reward of 5000 for the detec-
ton of the person who wrote it. They
sent notice of this action out and three
individuals among the church congre-
cation each offered SIS in addition to
the amount, making a total reward of
$215.

BROOKLYN AFTER A STAR.
President Ebbets Offers $4,000 for a
Player Like Hans Wagner.

President Ebbets Offers $4,000 for a
Player Like Hans Wagner.
New York, March 1.-THE owners
of the Brooklyn club are firmly con-
WINGED that another star player will
round out the Trolley Dodgers and
make them a pennant possibility. At
the meeting of the National league in
this city Charles H. Ebbets, president
Of the Brooklyn club, and Charles w.
Murphy. president of the Chicago
club, were engaged in conversation, in
the course of which Ebbets said that
he would give Murphy $4,000 for the
release of Hoffman, the general utility
player of the Cubs.
Most of those who overheard the
conversation were Of the opinion that
Ebbets was joking. He now asserts,
with much solemnity, that he was not,
and further has renewed his offer of
$4,000 for a player of the value of
Hoffman, adding that he will give $500
to anybody who will secure a man of
Hoffman's caliber-
President Ebbets has made futile
efforts to secure Tommy Leach and
Hans Wagner from Pittsburg and has
likewise made liberal offers to other
club owners for the release of a star
player. 1et - r.

CONFERENCE WITH P. O. DEPT.
Leading Railway Officials Are Sum-
mOned to Washington

moned to Washington.
Chicago, March 11.-Postal author
tiles have summoned heads Of West
ern railways to a conference to be
held in Washington on Thursday, at
which an attempt will be made to
thresh out all differences between the
Postal department ana the carriers,
both sides realizing that the constant
serious friction should be eliminated.
The governments new order, requir-
ing the reweighing in the ninety day
period, is the chief complaint of the
railways
Always heretofore Sunday has been
omitted from the calculations. The
governments demand that the rail-
head is also a source OF friction. This
has been evaded, in part, heretofore
by reporting out 60-foot car loaded,
and returning a 40-foot car empty.
The order resulted In the threat by
the roads to abandon many trains
carrying mails. The government
thought the matter over and never
railroads did abandon many trains,
because Of the 2-cent laws, and this
has seriously interfered with the mail
service
Fines for late trains IS another
source of annoyance. These and other
minor grievances will come up for
adjustment on Thursday. Govern
ment agents secretly admit that the
railroads have been unnecessarily
road men admit, not for publication,
however, that they have carried some
matters to the extreme through
pique. The conference IS for the pur-
pose of meeting on middle grounds
and making the best Of the situation.

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Socialists of Parsons Want the Cit,
to Purchase Waterworks.

Parsons, Kan. March lift
there is any potency in being first in
the field or early bird catching the
worm. the Socialists will have the
advantage in the coming municipal
campaign. That party was the first
to get into the municipal campaign
with a mass convention held in
Socialist hall at which candidates
were nominated for councilman and
member of the school BOARD in each
ward. The committee on resolutions
also made its report.
Referring to local affairs the plat
form declares that the Socialist party
is in favor of municipal ownership of
all public utilities 1t recites that as
the time has arrived when under the
franchise granted the waterworks
company, the city can take over the
waterworks system. The resolutions
say: "As intelligent citizens we pro-
test against those restrictions now
placed by the state, laws upon nruni-
cipalities, which practically leaves
them powerless in the hands of con-
tractors, especially as regards street
tmproveme and we declare it our
intention to labor for the election of
a state representative at the COM
ing general election who will work
to secure the amendment of these
state laws 50 that our cities may

LIGHT BREAKS In
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

MANY people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that coffee is the
cause of the cloudiness, and that there
is a. simple way to let the light break
in.
A worthy farmer had such a ex-
uerience and tells about it, in letter.
He says:
For about forty years. have had
Indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last rs
years I would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be on me-
1.-THE best doctors I could get and all
the medicines I could buy, only gave
me temporary relief.
"Change Of climate was tried with
out results. I could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times SO that it seemed it
would jump out of my body
ST came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that I was
about wound up. when saw Postum
advertiseme nt. I had always been a
coffee drinker. and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
'sI began to drink Postum instead of
coffee and in less than three weeks I
felt like a new man. The rheumatism
left me- and I have never had a spell
of bilious collie since.
"My appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and I can do more
work than before for 40 years.
ST haven't tasted coffee since I be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes it
according to directions and relish it
as well as ever did coffee. and was
certainly a slave to coffee" There's

Savannah stating that in a praotice
run over the road course that will bo
used for the stock races on March IL
and 10, H. N. Harding. driving an
Isotta car. made the exceedingly high
average of Sc miles an hour In five
mile stretch. This Is by far the fastest
time made in practice on the savannah
circuit and autoists have no hesitancy
in predicting fast time in the long dis
lance events
This fast time, even for part of the
course, indicates that the circuit is In
good condition and the Savannah
motor enthusiasts are now more de-
sirous than ever to have their roads
selected for the Vanderbilt cup races
this year.

WILL PROBABLY COMPLY.
Texas & Pacific Officials Preparing
Answer for Commission.

Affairs of the Texas and Pacific
road just now are receiving more
than ordinary attention because of the
threat of Governor Campbell OF Tex
as to bring court proceedings to place
that road in the hands or receivers,
provided the orders of the state rail-
road commissioners for the imme-
date expenditure of 100000 in the
physical Improvement of the COM
panyS lines are not obeyed.
The order for these Improvements
was issued last December, and the
road was then given until Jan. 81 to
notify the commission what it's in
tentions were regarding compliance.
Subsequently this date was extended
to March 1, and it since has been ad-
vanced to April 1.
1t is understood that the road now
is preparing statement to lay before
the commission regarding the
improvements recently made and the
amounts expended thereon. When
submitting this statement the road
will state its willingness to carry out
the order with great rapfdfty as
the funds at it's command will allow.
At the same time the commissioners
will have their attention directed to
the radical changes that have taken
place in conditions governing railroad
operation, both as to traffic and
finances; since the investigation was
made on which the order was based.
It will be pointed out to the COM
mission that under the conditions
which have existed since last October,
1t would be impossible for the road to
sell securities to provide the money
required for the execution of the or
der, and owing to the decrease in
earnings it will not be possible to OBJ
tain from that source sufficient funds
to carry out the Improvements at
once.
For some time gross earnings of
the road have been decreasing at the
rate of about $4,000 a week, and as
the cotton crop, on which the road is
dependent for a large proportion of
it's earnings, has been nearly all
moved, there is not much prospect
for any Improvement until next years
crop is ready to market. OF course
any marked Improvement in general
conditions will tell favorably on the
financial condition Of the road, but
the cotton crop Of the next season
must be harvested before the road
can have any surplus Of traffic.

Starts His Tenth Consecutive
Year With the Cubs.
With One Club Longer Than
Any Other Professional.
UNEQUALED RECORD.
Are Few Ball Players Who Have
Served But One League.
King, Plank and MatthewsOn
Are Among Them.

Chicago, March 1.-Frank Chance
captain and manager of the Chicago
National League baseball club, world s
champions, has started his tenth con-
secutive year of service with that Or
ganizationsSs a--~-<z $50 -
He has been with one club longer
than any other professional player now
in the diamond arena.
Chance has served with only one
team since coming into major league
ranks, but in that time he has been
employed by two owners. The first was
Jim Hart and the second Charlie Muir
ply. Chance Joined the Chicago In
1898 as a catcher. He also has played
the outf1eld for them. and from raw
recruit has worked his way up to lead
er of the strongest baseball team In
existence.
His is the reward of merit, and not
being a rolling stone, he has gathered
a share of moss. Yet to be a rolling
stone in baseball does not imply i'm
providence, nor is it reflection on the
ability of the player. There are play
ers who have changed about who are
performers of the highest class, and
who have laid aside nest eggs of COM
Portable size. They have stuck to their
work none the less faithfully for haV-
ing roamed under various banners.
Johnny Killing is another warrior I'M
der the Cub standard who has not
PLAYED big league ball elsewhere. He
came to the Chicagos in 1901. and has
been there ever since, catching many
games each year, taking the pounding
of many pitchers season after season.
and with no falling off in the quality
of his work.
He Is one of those day-in-and-day
out catchers who does all the better
work for doing a great deal of it. The
backstop is the recipient of more act
ual battering than any other one man
on a team, and in view of this feat 1t
is somewhat surprising that some OF
nvan-can do so much work, and do 1t
so we'll.
Eddie Plank, the crack pitcher of the
Athletics, has been with that team for
seven consecutive years, and with nc
other He has come to be as much OF
a fixture in Philadelphia as Christy
Mathewson has in New York. Like
Plank, Methewson's big league career
has been confined to one team. He
pried his way into major company the
same year as Plank-1901.
The New Yorks came mighty near
losing Mathewson on a couple Of occa-
sions, one when he was about to jump
to the Athletics during the war time,
and once when he was traded to Gin
cinnati for Rusie, but was traded back
before the season opened. In 1905
when Mathewson and Plank faced each
other in the box in the opening game
of the worlds series, each had come
to his respective club an unknown and
in the interim became famous in the
same length of time, and without
changing employers
