LIQUOR DEALERS
 DISCUSS FUTURE


 Atlantic City, N. l., June 15.-"Members of the trade may differ in their opinions of what is whisky yet there is one com mon ground on which all can stand shoulder to shoulder. namely: Fighting the aggression of fanatical prohibition" said c. F. Deiterle of Cincinnati, president of the National Wholesale Liquor Deal CTS association in his report, which was read here today at the annual convention of the association. He reported much of the work in prohibition districts.
 A. J. Sunstein of Pittsburg, in an ad- dress, declared his belief that the people of the country who are in favor of open vending of liquors would not realize the power of the prohibition movel\nt until the liquor interests have been entirely slaughtered.
 He stated his belief that there would be revolt, which would destroy all the results obtained by the reformers. He insisted however that the growing broad-

OHIO TRIPLE TRAGEDY
INSANE MAN L MOTHER.
OFFICER AND HIMSELF.
Two Others Are Wounded Before
Posse Breaks Into House to Find
Prey Dead Under Bed.

Greenville, Ohio.-After numbering his
mother and an officer who attempted to
arrest him, and probably fatally wound
ing another woman and her husband,
Clyde Weaver, 81 years of age, COM
pieted the tale of bloodshed by commit
ting suicide near here.
Weaver was declared to be afflicted
with exaggerated ego by physicians, and
was under suspended sentence from the
probate court. Sheriff John +. Haber and
Deputy Sheriff William H. Farra went
to Weaver's HON to arrest him. The
appearance of the officers seemed to drive
the man violently insane. He opened
fire upon them from an upper window
with a shotgun, and Ferra fell, wounded.
A moment later Viewers mother rushed
from the house, crying I'm shot," and
fell dead at the feet of the sheriff.
While Haber was trying to revive the
woman Weaver walked from the house,
carrying a revolver. He went to the
woodshed, where Farra had crawIed, and
fired twice at the wounded officer, kill
ing him. He then jumped into a buggy
in which the officers had reached the
house and drove to the home of Levi
Minnich, a neighbor, from whom he de-
manded protection. When Minnich hes
itated to allow him to enter the house,
Weaver drew his revolver and shot Min
mich through the back. Weaver then
turned on Mrs. Minnich and shot her
twice.
A large posse quickly surrounded the
house, and two deputy sheriffs broke
through the rear door. They found the
body of Weaver under a bed. He had
used his last bullet to blow out his own
brains.

NEW GIN WILL SAVE MILLIONS
Will Increase Crop Value to Farmer
2 to 5 Cents Per Pound.

New YOrk.-Coming over on the Baltic
of the White Star line is a recently in
vented cotton gin which its promoters
claim will revolutionize the cotton in
dustry of the United States. The new
contrivance differs from the American
gin, in that it combs the staple from the
seed instead of cutting it as is done
by the sharp avs of the old Whitney
machine.
s.. l.. MCGOWAN, of this city, who has
had much experience as a cotton planter
in Alabama, has made arrangements to
have a trial test of the new gin. Mr..
MCGOWAN declares that the combing
process will make such a saving in
the way of ginning as to increase the
value of the crop to the planter fully
2 to 5 cents a pound, and that this
means an annual increase in the wealth
of the cotton sales of at least $500, OOO,-
OOO. The gin at present in use, he says,
not only cuts the staple, but also wastes
much of it by reducing the lint to such
fine particles that they are blown away
like dust.

BLIZZARD STRIKES OKLAHOMA
Communication With Northwestern
Points Severed.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-One of the
worst billiards. in years is raging in
Northwestern Oklahoma. Communica-
ton has been severed with all points
northwest of Woodward, and the true
situation cannot be learned.
A message from Amarillo Monday says
that 6 inches of snow fell over the
Texas Panhandle country and that the
accompanying blizzard will do consid-
cradle damage to live stock.
Throughout the Northwest as far as
Woodward a steady rain fell through
out the day, a freeze following. The ex-
tensive Panhandle wheat belt of Okla
homa and Texas received its first general
rains. Rains over the central and south
ern parts of the state did no damage to
cotton, the crop having been practically
gathered and the rainfall slow.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such a secret worker that
1t is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness Oh disease, but there is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. It seems that he had been
using it for some time and was al
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in it's place.
The wife says: eve found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid a hundred times the amount
Of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
1.-THE use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about a year ago, and
1t has made my husband a strong, well
man. He has gained thirty-ive pounds
In that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.
"The first time I prepared it did
not boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with It.
Sure enough it did taste very fiat, but
the next morning l followedadirections
carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes,
and he remarked this is better than
any of the old coffee
I'VE use Postum regularly and never
tire of telling our friends of the bene-
fit we have received from leaving off
coffee"
Look for the little book, "The Road to
Wellville, )" in pkgs. There's a Reason"
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
nre genuine true and full of human
interest

Special schools for t~uberculOuS chill

Providence, Boston, New York, ROches-

three more, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark

In cities like Providence, Boston and

been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment Of
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of Institutions
This, coupled with the experience Of
open air schools in Germany n Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

FROM BAD TO WORSE

Since he became president Mr.. Taft
has made rapid progress from bad to
worse.
Campaign promises of tariff revls-
ion that were made to the ear have
been broken not only to the heart bu;
also to the pocket look of the con-
sumer.
There was not word In Mr.. Taft's
platform and speeches last year about
a central bank, yet Mr.. Taft in his
first important speech after the Payne
Aldrich tunco game, tells the nat
ion that the next thing to be done
is to revise the currency system. and
he prepares the way for Campaign
of education" by Senator Aldrich in
favor OF central bank.
With nothing more substantial than
,hp ambiguous plank in his platform
10 encourage the upbuilding OF mer-
chant marine and not a word in any
'of his speeches TO apprise the people
that he was in favor OF arming the
patriots Of the ship trust with scoop
shovels and turning: over the key of
the treasury to them. Mr.. Taft shouts
back from the Pacific coast that he
viii recommend the graft because he
has discovered that 'the nation is
ready to try the experiment Some
body must have told him.
President Taft's administration be-
gan by doing just the opposite Of
what 1t promised to do on tariff re-
vision. He has since exalted Aldrich
and rebuked the insurgents.
And it will probably go ahead and
do two other things It did not pro-
mise TO do-re establish the central
bank and shovel out the subsidy to
the subyention pirates. 1t will make
his administration odious and insure
the election of a Democratic president
in 1912.
