 lytheville.-Unable to fix respon' sibility for the deaths of Mrs. M. r. Carpenter and her mother, Mrs. Mary Davis, who were killed in their apart ments at the Carpenter farmhouse near Blytheville, a coroners jury or dered Carpenter a wealthy land owner, and Ed Giles and Frank Hamilton. small farmers, held for preliminary examination.

An attempt was made to remove Carpenter from Bly, theville, but when it was reported to the sheriff that mob of farmers had assembled at the railroad station and threatened summary punishment, the sheriff postponed his departure. Ham, ilton one of the two men accused by Carpenter, testified before the coron- CTS jury. He vigorously denied the charge, and declared that on the night the two women were killed he was at home with his family.

"f never was much good at remember ing dates, but e's nobbut a puppy" On the other hand, 1t was maintained that the animal in question was a very, very old-fashioned puppy, and the magistrate inflicted the usual fine. Shortly afterward the farmer was met by friend who wanted to know how he had fared at the police court. "Nobbut middlin'," was the reply. Did they fine you?" Yes" respond ed the victim; "an' 'ang me if I can understand it! Last year an the year afore that told the same tale about the same dog, an 1t wos allus good enough afore.

Standard statistics of the coffee trade chow falling off in sales during the last two years of over two hundred miIlloo pounds. Authenticated reports from tho Postum factories in this city show . tremendous increase in the sale of Postum in like period of time.
 While the sales of rostum invariably show marked increase year over year, tho extraordinary demand for that well- known breakfast beverage during 1911 is very likely due to public awakening to the oppression of the coffee trust.
 Such an awakening naturally disposes the multitude who suffer from the ill effects of coffee drinking to be moro re- captive to knowledge of harm which % often comes as Q result of the use of the drug beverage, cofee.-BostlS Crsak 6cening NepS-Dec. 19, 1911.

 The national defense; the protection of persons and property the promotion oS friendly relations and the protection of American interests abroad. tho regulation of commerce and industry, the promotion of agriculture, fisheries, forestry and min ing the promotion of manufacturing, commerce.. and banking: the promotion of transportation and communication; the postal service, including postal savings and parcels post. the care for and utin- zation of the public domain; the promo tion of education. art. science and recre alton; the promotion of the public health; the care and education of the Indians and other wards of the nation.

A H0ld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses. sion at Chicago Thursday, Thomas J. Webb, of Chicago, charged that there is in existence coffee combine which is 'the most monstrous im- position in the history of human commerce."
 There is very slight exaggeration about this statement. It comes very close to being literally true. There is coffee combine in Brazil, from which country comes the bulk of the coffee used in the United States, which is backed by the gov- ernment of Brazil and financed by it, which com-, pels American consumers, as Mir. Webb said, Ito pay famine prices for coffee when no famine exists.''
 The worst thing about this is that the consum. CTS of the United States have been compelled to put up the money through which this combine. to further cinch them, has been made effective. There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes were denounced as an imposition upon the people; as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the like. The taxes were removed Immediately thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty uponI coffee up to the full amount of the former customs taxes in this country. The revenue which for merly went into the treasury of the United States was diverted to the treasury of Brazil The poor mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the same old price.
 But this was only the commencement The ''valorization'' plan was evolved in Brazil. Through this plan the government. using the rev. enues derived from the export duties for the pur- poses takes all of the surplus crop in season of large yields and holds it off the market, thus keeping the supply down to the demands of the market and permitting the planters to receive a much higher price than they would otherwise have done.
 The United States consumes more Brazilian cof- fee than does the rest of the world. We are the best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little from us Now Brazil is promoting, financing and maintaining trust designed, and working effect lively for the purpose. to compel American con: sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee they use What is the remedy?-Sednh PostIn- eelioencsr-Noc. 19, 1911.
