Attorneys for Judge Make Effort to
 Support This Contention.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Efforts tc show that the charges on which Judge Robert W. Archibald of the commerce court is now standing trial before the senate sitting as a court of impeach- ment, are the outgrowth of bias and a

''CasCaretS'' Make
 You Feel Great
Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while
 you sleep.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi- ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to torpid liver, decayed fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue 1t causes con gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick ening headache.
 Salts, cathartic pills, oil and purga- tive waters force a passageway for a day or two-yes-but they don't take the poisons out and have no effect upon the liver or stomach.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste mat ter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent boa from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels clean and regular fol months.

SECRET WORKER The Plan Upon Which Coffee Works.


 Coffee is such secret worker that it is not suspected as the cause of sick ness or 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 an in valid.
 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 its place.
 The wife says: We 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.
 "The use of PostuIn instead of coffee was begun about year ago, and 1t has made my husband strong, well man. He has gained thirty-five pounds In that time and his stomach and heart trouble have all disappeared.
 We never tire of telling our friends of the benefit we have received from leaving off coffee and using Postum in it's place." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

WOUNDED AND ROBBED.
South Carolina Man Victim Of Thugs
in Savannah.

Savannah, Ca, July 25.-Whlle
walking through the Atlantic Coast
Line yards last night, V. R. Caldwell
was shot by two negroes, who held
him up and robbed him of $50. The
bullet entered his left shoulder, caus-
ing a painful, but not necessarily Sc
rious wound. He was taken to the
Savannah hospital. The police, al
though Investigating the case, were
unable to obtain any clue upon which
to work. Caldwell has been in Sa-
vannah only two weeks, having come
here from Lake City, S. c., with his
wife, and was looking for work.
Although suffering good deal of
pain, Caldwell, managed to walk from
where he had been shot to the freight
office, where he half fell into the
door, with the cry, I'm shot,
In one of his back pockets Cald-
we'll stated he had $50, in $40 bills.
When the man who was searching
him reached back to the pocket in
which the money was, he says he
made a grab for his hand. At the
same time the other negro shot him.
So close was the revolver when the
shot was fired that Caldwell's shirt
was blackened by the powder for
several inches around the wound.
AS the shot was fired the negro who
was after the money grabbed the $50
from his pocket and the two ran,
leaving him on the ground.

FAREWELL COUNTY KILLING.

Sanders, of Red Oak Township, this
county, was shot and killed yesterday
by Jesse Owens, a white employee on
Mr.. Sanders's place. The particulars
of the homicide are very meagre, but
from what can be learned there
seems to have been difficulty of
some sort between the wives of San
ders and Owens. The weapon used
was shotgun. Practically the entire
load hit Mr.. Sanders in the face, caus-
ing death in few minutes.
Mr.. Sanders was Well-to-do, high
ly respected citizen of Red Oak Town
ship, and has always been considered
a quiet, peaceable man. Owens had
only been working for him as farm
hand for a few months.

Little Girl Assaulted and Murdered.

Carmel, Me-, July 25.-The dis
covery of the body of 14year-old Ma
omi Eta Mitchell in cornfield near
the town, her throat cut from ear to
ear, and much of her clothing torn
away, brought to light to-day a mur-
der which the authorities believe to
be the work of mad man. Tonight
search is being made for farm hand
who was seen in the vicinity last
night. He was at one time an inmate
of the Bangor insane asylum. This
man has not been at home since last
night.
The murder apparently was COM
mitted early last evening. The child,
daughter of Phineas Mitchell, a
farmer, had been sent to grocery, a
mile distant after supper. She made
her purchases and started home.
That was the last time she was seen
alive.
Searchers to-day came across the
body in the cornfield. The girls
hands had been tied behind her back
and a gag placed over her mouth.
There were many indications Of a
struggle. Her bundles were found
piled up by the roadside and S14
which she had on her person was un-
touched.
The man for whom search is being
made was in the store when the child
made her purchases and followed her
down the road.
Public feeling has been aroused to
a high pitch and threats of summary
vengeance, should the man be
caught, were freely made in the vii
lage tonight.
Physicians who examined the body
declared the girl was the victim OF
an assault before she was killed.

everything got quiet, and would
unite the dog, carry him off and
make another sale. For two or three
