FOUND A WAY
To 30 Clear Of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit. and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
= good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him l felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
1T was a struggle, because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try 1t
and then 1t was easy to leave on
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was a new man altogether, as a re-
suit Of leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. Then began to drink it too.

LOVERS JUMP TO

Antwerp, Belgium, April ga
youth IS years old and 19-year-old
girl We're the principal characters in
a love tragedy enacted here yester-
day. Arm in arm they climbed to
the clock gallery in the tower of the
Notre Dame cathedral and from a
height of $50 feet leaped into space,
falling at the feet of passersby.
Every bone in their bodies was
broken AS they hurled through the
air several men and women who wit
messed the sight tainted.
According to the police, the leap
from the church tower was in &C
cordance with a premeditated double
suicide pact.
The tragedy occurred at time
when the glove market, in front OF
the north tower of the cath edral,
was thronged with pedestrians, a
large number of whom stood trans
fixed, helpless witnesses of every
phase of the drama. The youth and
the maiden had purchased from the
porter at the entrance door tickets
of admission to visit the tower, from
which a wide view IS possible. The
porter noticed nothing unusual in
their demeanor as he escorted the
couple to the stairway and saw them
start to climb the fight Of 622 steps
leading to the top gallery.
That the act of the lovers was
premeditated is estab lshed by the
fact that they had placed five let
tiers. one addressed to the police
commissary and the others to var
ious relatives, where they easily
could be seen by visitors to the tow

MILITANT SUFFRACETTES DE-
CLARE AMERICAN IS TRAITOR
Obituary.

| E. S. Wheeler, who died in thi
city April IS, 1913, was a native o
Ohio and was born April 25, 1886
He would therefore have been q
years Of age had he lived until thu
25th of the present month. He came
to Webster City from Findlay, Ohio
in 1870 and had made his home here
ever since that year. About yeal
after the deceased arrived in this
city, he opened grocery store in
the old n. w. Browning block on
Seneca street, occupying the south
room of this building, now used by
Ellingson, Mature & Company as
their offices, etc. Later Mr.. Wheeler
went out of the grocery business and
in 1874 accepted a position as clerk
in the dry goods store of J. NJ. Jones
He remained, with Mr.. Jones until
1879, when he went into the gener-
al store business in partnership with
Kendall Young, the firm name being
Wheeler & Young. Later he bought
Mr.. Young's interest and moved in
to the east room of the then Grand
Central hotel, now the St. James Ho-
tel, where he did business for
about three years, from there remov-
ing up town into the store room now
occupied by Hanrahan & O'Connor.
He retired from business several
years ago, having met with much
success.
Mr.. Wheeler was a man of strict
integrity and good citizen. He was
successful in business because Of his
we'll known honesty and enjoyed
the confidence and high esteem Of
the people among whom he had re-
sided for so many years.
Mr.. Wheeler had three brothers
and one sister. 1t is known that the
Oldest brother and the sister are
dead, but whether the two other
brothers are still living is not
known. Two married nieces are liv-
ing in Chicago, daughters of his Sis
ter. Another niece, Mrs Mary
Wheeler-Shaller, daughter of the
eldest brother, is supposed to be liv-
ing in Findlay, Ohio. Mr.. Wheeler's

Ter lived with Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler
in this city for about a year and was
well acquainted with some of the
older residents here. While there
was no estrangement between Mr.
Wheeler and his brothers and sister,
they kept up no family intercourse
and the deceased seldom spoke of his
relatives to his most intimate
friends.
The funeral services were held on
the afternoon of April 22nd in the
apartments over the Hanrahan &
OConnor store, where the deceased
had made his home for many years.
The service was conducted by Rev.
c. H. Kamphoefner Of the Methodist
church and the remains laid to rest

wife, who passed away some ten
years ago.

Sufragette Union Courtmartials
Mrs. Mary Ford of New
York.
SHE SHOWS SERIOUS RIFT.
General Drummond Asserts Or
ganization is Full of
Spies.

London, April ga rift between
the Women's Social and Political
union, the organization of militant
suffra gettes, and its American men,
bers was indicated yesterday by the
summoning of ''courtmartiap COM
posed of Gen" Mrs. Flora Drum
mond, acting as judge advocate and
the cabinet Of the union sitting as
judges, to try Mrs. Mary Ford of
New York on charge of alleged
treason to the society.
The military features of the court
were all in correct form, with the
exception that there was no means
of compelling the attendance of the
accused, who failed to appear.
Mrs. Ford later said that she
knew nothing of the charge and did
not expect to appear before the
court.
The charges against Mrs. Ford, as
prepared by "Generap' Drummond,
were three, as follows:
First-Failing to inform the
union as to the exact hour of the
release of Miss Zelie Emerson Of
Jackson, Mich, which fact was
within Mrs. Ford's knowledge, and
being valuable to the organization,
she was in duty bound to reveal.
Second-The allegation that Mrs.
Ford had told American press repre-
sentatives in London that the union
planned the kidnapping of Miss En-
erson from her mother.
Third-That Mrs. Ford had con-
travened a strict rule of the union
by announcing publicly that she had
committed specific acts of militancy.
In court yesterday it was explain
ed that this rule was 20 important
and the record was pointed out
showing that the only suffragettes
who had been caught were captured
red-handed, while the others went
scot free. This, it was said, indicat-
ed that the perpetrators of militant
acts. while glorying in their Jail rec
ords. did not talk about their specific
deeds.
In relating these facts which she
claimed were proved by sheaf of
clippings from American papers
which she waved aloft, General
Drummond denounced the American
woman as traitor.
When informed of the charges
Mrs. Ford declared she knew moth
ing of them and believed herself to
be on the most friendly terms with
the organization which she had been
assisting by voluntary work in its
press bureau.
Mrs. Ford ridiculed the second
charge, stating that she had not in
formed anyone OF such a plot which
she herself was unaware existed.
Yesterdays affair is considered as
important, all the cabinet" OF the
Women's Social and Political union
out Of Jail being present.
General" Drummond declares
that the militant organization is full
OF spies, no less than six of its MEM
bers, one of whom is an American
woman, being agents of Scotland
Yard.
