mission and insisted n" name of the
village of Edenborn, station on the
Louisiana Railway and Navigation
Company be changed back to Con

William Edenborn. owner of the rail
road, who several years ago had the
name on the little station building
scratched off and his own substituted.
Edenborn was known as Gonzales for
century, they argued. and although

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
\ Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago We suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
GUS, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and l both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (Delusion)
Finally, after years Of suffering, we
read of Postum ana the harmfulness
OF coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When We made it right we liked
it and we're free Of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
chanse-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper. etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as We continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and We lost
the desire for coffee.
Many Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked it better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
Name given by Postum Co. Battle

Witness in Sensational Suit
Comes Here From Denver

alleged attack was made on District
Attorney Rush" said Blackwood, My
wife, who was with me at the time
and who has been my constant cop-
panion for more than year, l am in
formed, was released from jail with
the understanding that she should inn
mediately leave the city. There had
been testimony given against me on
occasions on which my wife was pres
ent. Some of this testimony is un-
true
IF l am insane the jury will, nat
urally, not believe my version Of the
matter, but my wife's testimony would
certainly have some weight.
Furthermore, if the court please, !
am informed that my private papers
have been taken from my room at
the Drexel hotel, where / was staying
when arrested, and / am told that
these papers are to be used against
me ! wish to be allowed to visit my
room with the bailiff and examine
into the matter. ! wish a fair chance
to defend myself in this matter, and
cannot do it without having my wife's
testimony and without access to my
papers, which are said to be in the
hands of the prosecution"
Judge Rothgerber granted the re-
quest of Blackwood, and ordered a
subpoena issued for Mrs. Blackwood,
returnable next Wednesday morning,
The case will go over at adjournment
tonight until that time. He also or
dered a recess that Blackwood might
examine his effects and also examine
the papers taken from his room after
his arrest.
Blackwood appears ODE perfectly
sane, according to the story of all CT
the witnesses, except the one delusion
that Rush has bounded him all over
the country with his evil influences.

Represented
Local StOckmen

]. B. Killian arrived home wednes-
day evening from the national capi-
tol. where he had been before the
public lands committee of congress
in behalf of a measure which contem-
plated the control and restriction of
grading on the unappropriated pub
lie domain. Mr.. Killian went as a
representative of our local stockgrow-
ers, and also representing the grazing
committee of the American National
Live Stock association He reports
that a great many live stock produc-
ers of the West appeared before the
congressional committee TO give evid-
ence on the dire need of the enactment
of a law providing for the said con-
troll and restriction of grazing on the
public domain.
1t seemed to be the general con-
census of opinion OF the many stock
growers who went 10 Washington,
that such a measure should in all Of
its provisions be subject to our pres
ent and fire public land entry laws;
that in its provisions it should protect
all of our national resources in the
public domain from the hand of eN-
ploitation. and at the same time place
our immense grazing resource under
a legitimate, economic restriction and
management. This idea the stock.
men seemed more particularly anN-
ious to impress upon the congression-
al committee, because, as they CON
tended. II would give stability 10 the
consequently increase our production
of live stock, which would mean a
greater amount of meat food products
to the people of the United States.
Mr.. Killian seems to think that the
question is receiving the more con-
sideration in congress than ever be-
fore. since first agitated some four
years ago and he believes from the
way in which it was handled by the
committee that they will either report
out some constructive measure along
this line before adjournment of this
congress or at the beginning Of the
next session, following a message
from the president on the subject Of
conservation.
