This is the note John Patterson
found last night when he returned to
his room in Erie street. which he
had given up to 'friendless. hungry
and penniless" young woman. He,
also found that SOS was gone from his
dresser and that his landlady, who
was robbed OF 5000 and various
articles, wanted to throw him into
the street.
Patterson found the young woman
weeping on doorstep near his home
Sunday afternoon. She told him she
had been in Chicago only a few days
and that she was homeless. He pur-
chased a dinner for her and then al
lowed her to use his room while he
went to a hotel.
"She had freckles and had the ap-
pearance of country girl" said Pat

HARTMAN ON THE CoUNTRYS
PROSPERITY.

E. H. Hartman, when he passed
through Ogden early in the spring,
stated that his roads would be placed
in condition to handle the heaviest
traffic in their history. as he antici.
pated that this summer would be a
season OF uneQualed prosperity. A
few days ago heavy engines were
brought down from the north for SER
vice on the Union Pacific. Yesterday,
In New York, prior to his departure
for Europe, Mr.. Hartman spoke OF
preparations made for the prosperity
OF the country, Of big crops In sight, of
money ready for legitimate invest
ment, and OF the disappearance of
panic conditions.
What he said In Ogden, is now ver-
flied. What he predicted, is about to
be realized. The big financial inter-
csts are for prosperity, and that is
sufficient to inspire the confidence,
which means prosperity.
The Union Pacific and Southern Pa
ciic are now doing a big business, in
dicating general resumption Of bust
ness throughout the west, and peoble
from the middle states give it as their
opinion that there has been a COM
plete restoration of industrial actiy-
ity throughout that section.

GOOD AND BAD COFFEE.

how to make good coffee. and the Bos-

The three most important ingred-

chemical standpoint. are the essential

tannic acid. OF these the caffeine ia

LUMBER WORKERS
ARE OUT ON STRIKE

McCloud. Cal, May 31.-At the con-
clusion of meeting here today of GOO
Italian lumber workers, about 800 of
them boarded the mail train for Bar
tie, 26 miles east, to force the few
loggers stlll at work In the woods to
join In the strike, or at least quit work.
All the strikers paid their fares and
the company was obliged reluctantly,
TO carry them.
In McCloud not wheel Is turning
and the sawmills, planning mill. box
factory and march ropes are all silent,
Precautions are being taken to pre-
vent fires and violence. The directors
of the McCloud River company held
meeting In Chicago Sunday, to con-
slider the demands of the strikers,
but what action, il any, was taken,
has not been learned.
The local management of the COM
pany remains firm in It's refusal of
the strikers demands, and the Italians
are as determined as ever not to
yield.
