business have been gathered In, the
results OF last seasons fruit crop at
j. L. Dumas Pomona orchard can be
given exactly and in figures that will
convince the most skeptical. 1t may,
II is to be hoped, open the eyes OF
some OF our residents who have the
money to- invest In the growing fruit,
but II IL to those in the east who are
seeking a location on this coast for
the upbulding Of n home and the
earning OF competence, who we need
to tell our story to. These men here
have too long been raising wheat and
barley and have made a financial sue
cess at Il, to change their methods. A
general statement of what can be pro-
duced by raising fruit on the lands of
Columbia county, while truthful In
every particular, and known to be so
by our own residents, is generally dis
counted by the average easterner as
being too good to be true, and conse-
quently is cast aside as the effort of
the writer to boom his locality, but
when facts and figures are given in a
sworn statement by responsible men
of integrity, II carries conviction to
the reader and sets him to thinking.

Denver-An object lesson for every
farmer and ranchman In Colorado as
well as the thousands of visitors from
other states, will be the exhibition of
Colorado grain and forage products
which will form an important part of
the live stock exposition to be held in
Denver January 20th-25th. Prof. w. III.
Olin of the State Agricultural College,
has the exhibition in charge. The ex-
hibition will be unique in many re-
spects and will give the visitors to
state is capable of producing in this
line. The different kinds of grains
and forage and the uses to which they
are put and the different processes
through which they go in the way of
manufacture will all be demonstrated.
The exhibit will have considerable
space at the exposition.
Stock growers and feeders the coun-
try over were astonished at the show
ing made by Colorado at the recent In
ternational Live Stock exposition in
Chicago and they want to know more
aboSt this wonderful state and what it
can produce. Letters received by the
managers of the western show indicate
that the attendance of breeders and
feeders from the east will be unusually
large this year. Buyers from all of the
eastern markets are coming out in
force also prepared to bid on some of
the fancy stock shown. Prices prob
ably will range much higher than they
did at the Chicago show which was
held in the midst of the recent finan-
cial furry.
Representatives from all of the farm
ers' and stockmen's papers will be in
Denver for the exposition and will give
the state much valuable advertising in
their publications.
One of the biggest crowds of the
year will be in Denver for stock show
week and probably only the Democratic
national convention in July will be
bigger affair in point of attendance.

PETTIBONE
ACQUITTED
FOUND NOT GUILTY OF coNSPIR-
AcY TO MURDER GOVERNOR
STEUNENRERG.
COURT FREES MOYER
PERJURY CASES AGAINST FEEDER
ALTON WITNESSES ARE
i ALSO DIMINISHED.

Boise. Iiaho.-The end OF the prose
cution of tho men charged with the
murder of Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg, with the exception of the cases
of Harry Orchard and Jack Simpkins,
came Saturday with the acquittal OF
George 4. Pettibone.
Charles H. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, was
formally released Saturday afternoon
at 4 O'Clock and will return with Pet
tibore in few days to Denver.
The case of Orchard, the self-con-
tossed assassin of Steunenberg, is in
the hands of Prosecuting Attorney Van
Duyn, of Canyon county. No state
ment as to the future procedure in
that case has been made, but it will
be called during the next term of
court at Caldwell, when 1t will prob
ably be finally disposed of.
Simpkins, member of the executive
board of the Western Federation OF
Miners, who is charged with compile
ity in the crime, is fugitive from jus.
tice, and the charge against him will
stand.
When the Mover case was called by
Judge Wood Saturday afternoon, James
II. Hawley. representing Prosecuting
Attorney Van Duyn, signified the de-
sire Of she state to have an order of
dismissal entered.
Il am satisfied" said Judge Wood,
that the course taken by the district
attorney and decided upon by attor.
neys for the state, is the proper course
to be taken in the matter. l have
watched the evidence carefully. so far
as the connecting and corroborating
evidence under the statute was con
cerned in its application to this defen-
dant, and there has certainly moth
ing developed in the two cases that
would justify the court in submitting
the case against him to jury, I'M
less there was considerable additional
connecting testimony to that which
which has been shown in the two cases
that have been tried, and for that rea-
son the case will be dismissed and an
order generating the bail of the de-
fcncRnt."
In addition to dismissing the case
against C. H. Meyer, the state dis
missed the perjury case against DR..
McGhee of Spokane and C. w. Alley
of Cripple Creek, both of whom were
accused Of giving false testimony in
the case against Yost, charged with
tampering with a talesman during the
Haywood trial, will also be dismissed.
Although the Pettibone Jurors
agreed that their deliberations should
be kept secret, it is stated that on the
first ballot the vote was s to 4, the
majority being for acquittal.
The second ballot resulted in a vote
o. 9 to 3.
The third stood 10 to and SO it re-
manned all, through the night. The
two ;iolding out for conviction were
finally won over.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and ! hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him / felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
1T was a struggle because of the
powerful habit One day we heard
about Postum and concluded % try it.
and then 1t was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, Kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether, as
a result of leaving off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then l began to
drink 1t, too.
although 1 was never as bad off
as my husband, 1 was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
1 began to use Postum. Now 1 weigh
115 lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, l think.
Many do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right. l have successfully
fooled great many persons who have
drunk it at my table. They would

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO NE.

MISS ANNIE CATRoN, 927 Main
AVA St., Cincinnati. Ohio, writes:
GAS have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which 1 suffered from for
number of years, l am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
''Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up SO that 1 was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. 1 was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, 1 did buy a bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged kept on until was COM
piefely cured in n months time, and l
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
