He feared | the rallroad men would be Intimidated and | he would be unable to move troops. Threat- efing lettors were also sent to him. When he first went into the coal region with his men he was unable for a time to get vehicles to carry his supplies.

I frequently than we had coffee, we found | that the large size package of Postum lasted as long as two pounds of coffee, a difference of 45 cents in favor of Postum. In & year this saving of money was con- wderable, and this fact recommends Postum to all people who belleve in economy. “Hvea & person prejudiced in taver of coffee would admit that Postum, properly brewed, s as pleasant to the palate as the | bave. not yet jcontmenced | proposition. td strike, and w yesterday elected president of the unfon in the Seventh .district Mr. Mitchell Yeplled in the afirmative and then counsel called John Sherman of Nuremborg, Dettrey's homo town.
