MESSENGER GETS GOOD
JOB FOR KILLING BANDITS
David Trousdale Given Wells-Fa argos
Best Run-Other Rewards for
Bravery in Hoidup.

San Antonio, Tex, April 15.-David
Trousdale, the Wells-Fargo express
messenger wko fIlled two bandits
who held up a Southern Pacific train
near Eldridge, Tex, On March 13 and
attempted to rob the express car, will
be given the best run in the Wells
Fargo service. This announcement
was made here by E. A. Stedman OF
Chicago, vice-president and general
manager of the company.
Trousdales promotion will make
him supervising messenger between
here and Houston at a salary of $4,000
a year
In addition to his promotion Trous-
dale. now on vacation with pay to his
old home in Nashville, Tenn, will on
his return this week be presented

the express company and a purse Of
500 subscribed by the passengers on
the train at the time Of the holdup.
Trousdales nerve saved nearly
$4,000. AS the first bandit covered
him with a revolver Trousdale pre-
tended to give up and suggested that
the bandit take a more valuable pack
age. The bandit turned his head for
a second and Trousdale killed him by
blow on the head with an ice NAL

TEST NEW CORRUPTION LAW
Mayor-Elect Of Menomonie He d In
nocent OF Wrong intent in Buy ng
Railroad Ticket for Voter.

MenOmonie.-Wh was probably
the first criminal prosecution in the
state under the section of the new
corrupt practices act that prohibits
the transportation of voters Ito or
from the polls came as an after
math to the heated campaign in Me-
nomonie, and resulted in the exon
Grafton Of the defendant, Thomas
Stone, former postmaster of the city.
The complainant was Carl Pieper,
defeated candidate for mayor under
the commission system, who had
caused the arrest of Stone for buyfr g
railroad ticket to North Menom-
onie for Robert Behnke and giving
him nickel for return on election
day. This fact was admitted, but the
evidence showed that there was no
political purpose in the act, as Stone,
who was a supporter of J. B. Ma
thews for mayor, did not solicit
Behnke's vote.
The court denied a motion to dis
miss Stone, made on the ground that
the voter was transported but part
way to the polling place, but after
hearing the witnesses Of both sides
and the arguments, discharged the
defendant because no wrong intent
was proven.

A teacher who had taken great trCu-
BILE to impress every detail of the his
tory lesson upon his class was sadly
disappointed, on asking the name of the
king who reigned previous to Queen
Victoria, to find only one hand up
held.

pointing as he spoke to the boy whose
anxious desire to impart the necessary
information compelled him to use
strenuous efforts to increase his dimin-
utive stature, "one of your intelligent
little schoolfellows viii tell you what
none of you have the brains to know.
Although the youngest in the class, his
is an example that it would be
credit for many of you to emulate.

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

1t is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is poison to at least one
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.

time after drinking coffee | became
restless, nervous and excited, so that |
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that l try Postum. l laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that l finally had
some Postum made. l have been u.s.
ing it in place of coffee ever since. for

ness and irritation disappeared. | be-
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the cid

me?
''One day on an excursion up the
country l remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear

before she had quit using coffee and
taken TO Postum. She had gained a
number Of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that l had
already made the change.

ceived great benefits from leaving of
