ALI0 WAS SULLEN.
Murderer of Priest Brought Back To
 Denver For Trial.

Denver, Feb 27.-Giuseppe Alio, the Italian anarchist who murdered Father Leo Heinrichs at the altar during communion service in St Elizabeth's church here last Sunday. was brought back from Colorado Springs early to-day where he had been taken to prevent lynching. Ac- companied by four detectives from Denver. and closely handcuffed, Alio rode the entire trip with head avert ed and in sullen silence. Upon ar rival here he was hustled into an awaiting cab and swiftly driven to the county jail. Barring newspaper men. depot employees and passengers arriving on the train, there were but few persons at the union station to witness his arrival and no demon stration of any kind occurred. Ac- cording to AliO's statement made to an interpreter. he will plead guilty when arraigned and offer no resist ance for his crime. In this case it is expected his trial will come to q speedy end and sentence will be pro nounced.

TEA DRINKING IS BENEFICIAL

So says one of the best known expert physicians on beverages ln this world He claims tea drinking in moderation is beneficial i'll all th3 ordinary conditions of life because he says we live in a rush and worry everyday life, and a refreshing stimulant in the form of properly prepared cup of good tea (the kind we sell) is very refreshing to the over-worked brain. That speaks pretty good for tea, doesn't it? And during the past week we've heard of an incident regarding our nice tasting coffee which proves that our coffees are superior to all others. One night it rained very hard and the man of the house was sent to our store for coffee, but he dropped into the first store he came to and purchased the coffee and then skid dooed home. Next morning when his coffee was served he Mdn't like it, but said nothing and took his medicine bravely; but when his 5 year old son sat to breakfast table there was dickens" of row; he didn't do a thing but read the riot act to mamma and just told her tha. the coffee was bum coffee" and he was sure it wasn't Phelan's coffee. But when mamma showed her au thority he said no more, but the faces he made while finishing ris breakfast would stop some of our aldermanic debates in short order. Therefore, take our advice and wheu you're purchasing tea, coffee, cocoa or buttermilk, buy it at our store and have peace and good cheer il. your house and you'll save lots of trouble by remembering

TO HAVE BOOKS BURNED.
Spread of Diphtheria Cause by Pass
 ing of Readers Among Pupils.


 Bridgeport, Feb 27.-Health Off cer Mcclellan was uncertain last ] night as to just what course he l would pursue in the matter Of the dipththeria contagion at the Wheel CT school, and although the entlre building was fumigated yesterday by the health officials, the advisability of destroying the books in rooms 4 and 5 is being considered. Superln- tendent c. w. Deane of the schools has been out of the city for some days and will not return until Sat urday, which complicates the situa- tion some. It is probable that many of the children attending the school will petition the board of education for the destruction of the books, the plan carried out in most large cities under similar circumstances.
 Residents of the vicinity of the school who have children attending it were further alarmed at another case yesterday An investigation made appears to indicate that the disease originated from the readers used in room 4. Before Miss Clan cey, the teacher, was stricken, she was instructed to take account of these books. She demurred, owing to their filthy condition. She was obliged to examine and record the books, and the next day was taken i'll and her physician, Dr J. Murray Johnson, expressed the opinion that she contracted the ailment from the text books.
 Since attention was called to this school by the epidemic it has been learned that this building was closed previously by the health department to stamp out a contagion of scarlet fever and diphtheria. The closing occurred in 1895, which would indi- cate that it was due to some other cause than that of text books, from the fact that free text books did not prevail at that time.
