gresham c. A. Liniburgh's an

the manner in which the fight for the
Office of governor will be made.

for reelection to the senate and that
he will file on the Republican ticket.
1t is now anticipated that Clapp and
Lindburgh will make their joint fight

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case.

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
iay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsuspected
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide ex-
perience has proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask him if coffee is a cause of con-
stipation, stomach and nervous trou-
oleS.
Il have been a coffee drinker all my
life, and when taken sick two years
ago with nervous prostration, the doc
tor said that my nervous system was
broken down and that ! would have to
give up coffee.
Il got SO weak and shaky / could
not work, and reading an advertise
ment of Postum asked my grocer if
he had any of it. He said, Yes and
that he used it in his family and it
was all it claimed to be.

use Postum steadily, and in about two

TWO MASKED BANDITS GET $24o
FROM PASSENGERS.
After Being on Train IS Minutes, Rob.
bers Pull Air and Escape in
Darkness.

Hopkins, Mimi, Oct. s. Two
armed and masked bandits held
up the Olympian, coast train over the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
between Glencoe and Hopkins, forced
the conductor to pass the hat, collect
ed about $240 from the occupants of
the observation car, and after being on
the train 40 minutes pulled the air,
stopping the train, and escaped in the
darkness, while hunters fired fusil-
lade from the steps of the coaches.
Only the quickness of John Murphy,
207 West Twenty-eighth street, head
brakeman, prevented the bandits from
going through the whole train. Murphy,
who stepped out of the rear sleep
er as one Of the bandits fired two
shots close to the ears of Conductor
w. F. MCGUIRE, at the entrance to the
observation car, jumped back into the
sleeper and threw the latch And
while Murphy went forward, warning
the passengers that the occupants of
the back end Of the train were being
robbed, the conductor in the observa-
tion car, at the point of gun, was
collecting the occupants money. The
second bandit covered Flagman NJ
G. Hawthorne in the vestibule.
Never mind the women" the first
bandit told the conductor as women
began to tear off their jewelry and toss
it into the hat, Money is all we
want"
The first intimation Of anything
wrong came Is miles out of Glencoe
when the conductor, in the observation
car checking up reservations that had
been telegraphed for but were not
claimed at Glencoe, noticed man
come in from the vestibule carrying
a red lantern and wearing his cap low
down over his face. Mr.. MCGUIRE
started forward and was covered with
a 45-calibre automatic Colt. The ban
dit fired one shot close to his feet
then told the conductor to move to
ward the front end of the train
When the robbers finally pulled the
air a few miles west of Hopkins, set
| ting the brakes, the train stopped will
such jerk that nearly all of the pas
sengers were thrown from their seat:

ENcE CoNGREsSMEN
COUNCIL OF TITLE HOLDERS

Take Take Matter Out of Hands
of Court-held Unlawful For
FuIl-blood to Dispose of Land

Minneapolis, Minn.-C. c. Daniels,
special agent for the federal depart
meus of justice assigned to Indian af-
fairs, charged that there is under way
a plot to influence Minnesota congress
men and senators to back the crea-
ton of a federal commission TO take
the White Earth Indian land cases
Mr. Daniels.
This so-called plot had its incep.
ton, says Mr. Daniels, when in behalf
OF the government, he won the first
two fullblood cases heard before the
master in chancery, thereby indicating
the likelihood that the government will
win all of the 1900 cases brought
against persons alleged to have pur-
chased land from full blood Indians.
Mr.. Daniels has been advised that a
council will be held at Detroit. Mimi,
to which Senator Clapp and Congress
man Steenerson and Miller have been
invited, the council being prompted by
title holders and mixed blood Indians.

holders and mixed blood Indians.

council is to be held" he said. 1.-THE

ly that is why it has been selected.
have heard that the object of the
meeting is the promotion of this fed
eral commission scheme.
The Indian cases brought as a re
suit OF our investigation on the White
Earth reservation are divided into
two general classes. The one class is
what we call the full-blood cases
There are about 1900 of these in
stances in which Indians whom We
hold to be fuli-bloods have sold theil
lands, some for mere pittances. 1t is
clear violation of the federal law
for fullblood to dispose of his lands
