This bellef comes from the fact that Murtie has been particularly reti- cent about the Cudaby kidnaping and has become nervous whenever he was asked about the case.

Eddie Cudahy yesterday afterncon said The man Callahan is the ome who stood guard over me while I was detained by the kianapers. I am as sure of that as I can be of anything. 1 dido't know of his ar- rest until Sunday afternon, when papa took me down to the chief's office to listen (o him tulk. The chief kept his prisoner in corversation for about half an hour and I became convinced that his was the same volco that made such a strong impression on my mind while I was held a captive. I knew it was the same voice the first minute the chief got him to talking. “Ever sluce the kidnapers let me go 1 have heen sure that I could identify one of them—the one who acted as my guard— by the tone of his voice and his peculiar brogue. This man talked a great deal while his he had me in charge, and as 1 was blind- folded und could fiot see him my sense of hearing was unusually keen and I detected every pecullarity in his speech. That is why I am so sure that Callahan, the man I heard talk Sunday, and the kiduaper who watched over me for more than twenty-four hours, are one and the same. DANIEL BURRIS POSITIVE Corrobo- raten ldentification of Callahau. those to identify Callahan Tues- day was Daniel Burris, the old man who sold the bay pony to Pat Crowe. Burris says there is no question in his mind that Callahan is the man who accompanied Crowe to his home, Nineteenth and Grand avenue, about two weeks before the kid- naping and asked to look at the pony. ‘I would knew that man anywhere,” said Burris. “Ie looks exactly as he did nearly four months ago when he was at my house, I remember Crowe got out of the buggy and led the pony around the yard, and that this fellow sat in the buggy. Then Crowe found a lump on the pony's neck, and called Cai- lahan's attention to it. Callaban climbed Amoug down off the seat and examined the lump. | That was when | got a good look at him. P studied his face carefully, because I thought perhaps the sale of the pony de- pended on his decision.’ LAVISH SPENDER OF MONEY Callaban | Drunke ni hibits Susplcious Kvidence of Alucunce. Within two weeks after the abduction Callahan began showing slgns of opulence and later manifested the recklessness of a Croesus. During the month that Callahan has bee under survelllance (he police have suc- ceeded 1n tracing $400 of the money he spent. He hus probably spent much more than this, but this amount ean be voueh for, and persons who have this knowledge will bo subpoenaed as witnesses against him Ex- | when his case comes 10 trial On several occaslons Callahan has been decidedly “flush” for a man who is not em- ployed and has no regular income. One in- cident which constitutes a plece of espe- clally strong evidence for the state is thus an eye-witness occurred one night about four days In one of the downtown saloons. I don't care to say which one, as I don't want Callahan’s lawyer shipping witnesses out of the state, but the fact is Callshan came very near tipping his hand that night. He was drunk-—drunker than usual, and was throwing money around recklessly. He tossed two or three silver dollars into the stove. He pushed quarters into the slot machine instead of nickels, and was trying a $ at the cigar lighter when somebody stopped him. “'Oh, to h—1 with you!' he cried, ‘this is my money and when it's gone T know wheve to get more!’ “Then he went on, rolling silver dollars on the bar, and when one would fall off he wouldn't take the trouble to pick it up, but | would fish another out of his pockets and 8o at it again’" PEN PICTURE OF CALLAHAN Alleged Kid Hol per Looks the Typleal nd K Tough Jargon Tn appearance James Callahan is a typi- cal hobo, and his walk, speech and dress are those of a hobo.

Johnson of 1812 South Thirty-elghth | avenue, called at the city jail Tuesday to| have a look at Callahan, and identified him | | as one of the three men with whom he had | a rather unusual experfence one night about | two weeks before the Cudaby kidnaping. | This experience of young Johnson has been known to the police for two months or more, but It was not reported to the newspaper: “I was late in getting home that night,” said the boy. “I suppose it was 11 o'clock or more when I passed Thirty-sixth street, walking westwara on Farnam, and just as 1 passed Thirty-sixth I noticed that three | men were following me. I was a little nervous, and walked fast to get away from them, but they walked faster also. When I slowed up they slowed up. I ‘could see that they were following me, bat knew | that it was no use to run, so stepped up lively and pretended not to notice them. “When 1 got to Thirty-eighth street I turned south. Two of the men kept on walkiug west on Farpam, and the otber turned and followed me. “When we got to. Thirty-eighth and Jack- son he called to me * ‘Hold on, kid,' he said. “Then 1 stopped and he came up to me. and pointing to a house on the corner asked: “‘Who lives in that house?' Mr. Evans,' 1 told him “Then he began to ask we all manner of questions. He asked me who Mr. Evans was, how many children he had, thelr ages, whether the family kept a coachman, how many servants there were in the houss how late the family sat up, whether they always kept a iight burning In the front room, and dozen or more other questious | along that itne. Finally he said, ‘Much obliged, kid,' and turned and walked away toward the south “This man Callahan resumed young Johnson, “is mot the man who asked me all those questions, but I am positive he fs | one of the two who continued west on | Farnam street after I turned south on Thirty-eighth street. 1 got a good look at | hoth of them. Once when'(he three passed | under a street lamp they were not more than o dozen feet behind me, and I turned around and sized them up. I am sure that Callahan was one of them."

I understand | young Cudahy has positively identified him as the man who held him in captivity, but | he surely must be mistaken. 1 know that on that day my brother Jim was at my house all day. On the afierboon of the day young Cudahy claims to have been held in captivity I noticed the police searching up and down the Missouri Pacific tracks, which are in plain view n few blocks enet of my house. 1 went outdoors when I sav them, as 1 supposed oue of the school children had been hurt. It was after time for school to let out and a traln comes through about | that time, and that's why I thought of an | accident right away. When I got outside of the house I noticed my nextdoor neighbor, Charles McDonald, working in his yard and I called his attention to the police. He said he didn’t have any idea what they were looking for and while we were talking my brother Jim came out of the house, whefe he had been all morning. 1 said, “Jim, what do you suppose those police want? He answered, ‘'Oh, I guess they're just looking for some fellow,’ and went back in the house.

Cudahy, the millionaire packer, was | Kidnaped on the night of December 18. Two men approached him on the street within 100 yards of his father's house on South Thirty-seventh streei, and, representing themselves as officers from Sarpy county pretended to arrest him as “Eddle McGee, wanted, they sald, for stealing money from | his aunt. He was taken (o buggy and driven to his prison house on Melrose hill. Here he remained under guard until late the following night Meanwhile the kidnapers had been nego- tiating with Mr, Cudahy in the matter of A letter was thrown into his yard early on the morning of December 19, specifying $25,000 in gold as the ransom price and giving directions as to how it was to be pald. Mr. Cudahy was to place the gold in n sack, suspend a lantern at the side of his buggy, and, taking the gold with him, drive westward at § o'clock oa | the evening of the 19th by Ruser's park and thence southward on the Fremont road. He would finally come to a lantern by the side of the highway. Here he was to stop, de- Becnuae She \ever Started. Many people have been interested in the reports of persons made i1l by coffee drink ing and cured by quitting and using Pos- tum Food Coffee. Of course, the leaving off of the poison of coffee by highly organ- ized people whose systems are affected by It, 1s & great help in ltself, but the big- gest end of the help is in the elements furnished by Postum Food Coffee. This Is a truo food drink of the highest character. A lady who has never been addicted to tea or coffeo drinking was reduced by stomach trouble to a condition of nervous prostration with heart trouble, insomnia, and fnally got In such a weak condition that the doctors sald she could not get well, and it was thought she would live but a short time. Some one brought Postum Food Coffee to her attention, she quit taking medicine and went to using Postum. She says, "It did mot sour on my stomach and I began to teel better at once. I kept on using it day after day and now am well and strong and have better health than 1 have had for years, and am most sincerely thankful that Postum Food Coffee was invented and 1 was led to use it.” This is a direct evidence of the fact that has so often been stated that Postum is a nourlshing food drink containing the ele- ments of phosphate of potash and albumen that go to build up the gray matter in the nerve cells in the brain and all over the body. It 'does not contain medicine of any sort or kind, only the elements placed in the cereals of the field by the Almighty Creator, and selected and made use of in the form of a liquid food by the inventor. “My husband is a grocer and has been out of health for some time past. Since he has found what Postum has done for me he has quit drinking coffee and been using Postum for quite a little time. He has improved greatly: sleeps well nights, and says he has given up coffee entirely This lady lives at Great Bend, Kansas Name can be furnished by the Postum Ce- real Co,, Lul, at Battle Creek, Mich. {MORTGAGE _ FOR | Onawa, wa They filed their wage scale with the Bullding Trades' council two weeks ago and asked for the endorsement of that soclety The demands were opposed by several other unions represented in that body and as a result the matter was referred to the individual action of each union composing the Bullding Trades' council. Several of these unfons meet but once a month and have not had an opportunity to pass upon | the proposed scale. The majority of them, however, will have taken action by next Thursday night, when the Building Trades council meets, and at that meeting it is probable that the council will decide upon its course in regard to the matter.

LIBERALS NOT OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION Former Secretary Army and ¥ tous in the Combinatio Deslred. LONDON, Feb. 19.—~The war in South Africa again furnished the subject for many questions in the House of Com | mons today. The secretary of state for war, Mr. Broderick, gave an official deninl of the story that orders had been | issued that all Boers captured in Khaki uniforms were to be shot. He said that neither Lord Roberts. General Kitchener nor any other responsible general hus issued such an order. The secretary of state for the colonies Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, informed the House that a proclamation setting forth the intentions of the government Iu re gard to the administration of the African colonies had already been drafted but had not been issued in deterence to the opinfon of General Kitchener and Sir Alfred Milner that the time was not op portune. What the Opposit When the debate on the address in reply to the King's speech at the opening ot Parliament was resumed 1. H. Askwith, liberal, the former home secretary, char terized the speech of the secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, de- livered lnst evening, as a revival of the “billingsgate of the general election.” He repudiated the suggestion that the opposi tion favored the undofng of the annexation of the two republics, but, he said, a se(- tlement would not be accelerated by trucu lent language, but by combination strong army capable of commanding re- spect, and the offer of terms not deroga- tory to either tbe victors or the van- quished. The secretary for war, who followed, declared that the terms offered the Boers were better than ever | before tendered to a vanquished enemy. | Lentency to men on parole had been a dis- astrous failure.

D., Surgeon-General of | the French Army, in an article on “La | Grippe™ (Influenza), recommends the fol- | towing hot grog: ““One third goblet of Vin | Mariani, with two-thirds bolling water, add | cloves and cinnamon, and with or with- | French fa B out sugar, making a grog of exquisite flavor which produces ‘mmediate beneficlal effact in severe cases of cold, attended by con vulsive coughing and depression, the prin cipal symptoms of la grippe. It is taken at bed time. In the grip epidemics in France Vin Mariani wae the tonic ab stlutely relied upon, and has received fre | quent deserved mention in the Medical Press. It has been shown that patients| recover very slowly, there is much general | weakness and lassitude, fnvariably calllug for something in the nature of a m!ld tonic stimulant, 4nd it has been found that Ma rianl Wine fs unequalled for #uch cases.' Dr. Cyrus Edson of the New York Health Department has made & careful study of the subject in his book on “La Grippe.” published by Appleton & Co. On page 39 he writes of Vin Mariani and calls special attention to it in the form & hot grog. In speaking of the complete prostration ac- | companied by the depression caused by this Atseawe, and also during entire convales- cence, his preference for a tonic stimulant \s a hot grog of Vin Mariani. He says it is excellent for the purpose intended, and recommends its use freely.
