There is a well known lady in Coraop- olis, Pa., who actually made this gain in welght as the direct result of leaving oft coffee and taking up Postum Food Coffee. It was & very earnest matter and far from a joke for her. Her gain in general health kept pace with the Increase in welght. She says: “For many years I suffered with stomach derangement and violent and oft-recurring headaches. It was not an un~ usual thing for our family of four to u 2% to 3 pounds of coffee a week. 1 was { suspicious that my troubles were due to | coffee, but as T did not like tea or cocoa or chocolate there seemed no palatable hot drink for me to take at my meals. “Then it was I heard of Postum and decided to try it.

The result was another stormy session, prolonged from 11 this morning until 7 in the evening. Roll call succeeded roll call, and at every pause party passion mani- fested itselt In bitter and acrimonious de- nunclation. Two special rules were brought in to expedite appropriation bills and continue the legislation day of yesterday, in arder to reduce as much as possible the mi- nority’s power to obstruct legislation. Dur- ing the debate on the rule the democrats voiced their condemnation of what they dominated yesterday's outrageous actlon of the chair. The republicans declared that they were willing to assume responsibility | for what they had done and explained the necessity: of the drastic rules proposed. Mr. Dalzell said that unless thie course was pursued the democrats could consume twenty-seven legislative days on roll calls on the senate amendments to the appro- priation bills, It was agreed on both sides that the present situation sounded the death knell of practically everything except the ap- propriation bills. The friends of the omni- bus public building bill who yestefday were threatening to defeat the rules if they were not modified to include their measure were placated by a promise which it was understood was given, that thejr bill would be covered by a speclal rule ‘to be brought in later. Even with the special rules In opera- tlon work was a tedious and laborious process, an elght-hour session and thir- teen roll calls being necessary to get the agricultural, sundry clvil, military academy and postofiice appropriation bills into con- ference and to adopt the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill All overtures to the democrats have been fruitless and there is every indication they will continue their present tactics to the end of the session. Soon after the mitting opened Mr. Flem- Ing (Ga.), rising to a question of the high- est privilege, moved the following resolu- tion: $ Whereas, It appears from the Congres- slonal Record of February 2, 193, that by actual count and announcement by the speaker pro tempore, a guorum was not present when the resolutions were voted upon declaring that James J.

The Finna attribute the csar’s action to the steps taken in America to relieve the dlstress in Finland, and to Ambassador Mc- Cormick’s inquirios on the subject. It is belleved the proposed rellef works will em- ploy the majority of the able-bodied and that consequently the voluntary commit- tees’ responsibilities will be lightened and the necessities of the people will be satis- fied without outside aid, which the Finns gratetully accepted, although they have never solicited it.

It is conceded that Knapp will never be tried on more than one charge. First Evidence of Murder. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 27.—The first evi- dence that Albert Knapp killed his sec- ond and third wives as well as his first is contained in tement made by Charles Jones, who was & prisomer in the Marion county jall and the Michigan City peni- tentiary with Knapp and who was induced by A. A. Womack, the sheriff of Marion county, to try to get & confession from Knapp. Womack has a typewritten state- ment made by Jones. The only reference of Jones to Knapp's first wife is this: Knapp told me he killed his first wife to get his second and his second to get his third.” Knapp's first wife was Emma Stubbs of Terre Haute. He married her in the '80s and she has since disappeared. The police have been unable to learn her whereabouts, but it has been supposed that she wes somewhere in West Virginia. Jones says in the statement that Kwapp told him- he had killed the Gebhardt child in West Indianapolis in July, 1895. Jones said Knapp told him about the killing of his second wife. He took her to the Lib- erty street bridge in Cincinnat! and threw her off the bridge into the canal, after choking her. Then he sald he went down to where she was. As she was not dead, he finished the job by strangling her. -After he had killed her he went back to town and make any differefice to me what, you have |- ACUTE INDIGESTION CURED BY DR, WILLIAMS PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.

Reason for Killing Woman, Another reason Knapp gave for killing his second wifa was that sne had accused him of killing Mary Elkhart. She said she was going to expose him. He told Jones he killed Mary Eikhart for 75 cents and that his wife had accused him of it. Knapp also told Jones of killlng & girl in & lumber yard in Cincinnat!. Knapp, according to Jones, 4lso sald that there were other crimes that could be charged to him that would break his neck two or three times Womack says that this statement of Jones was made to him and Warden Harley of the Michigan City prison at Michigan City in 1896, One of the peculiar things about Kaapp's statement is that it was mever made pub- lic and no attempt was made to arrest him on any charge when he was released from the penitentiary & year ago. There is much criticlsm of the various officlals who knew of the confession for not making it public or seelng to it that Knapp was rearrested. According to the statement of A. A. Womack, who was then sheriff of Marlon county, the confession was made In the presence of himself, arden Harley, the chaplain and the sten- ographer who took it down in shorthand. He told of the confession to Frank Mc- Kay, then judge of the criminal court, and Charles Wilsie, then prosecutor. Womack sald he wanted the judge and tho proses cutor to induce Govermor Mount to pardon Knapp so that he could be tried for the @ebhatdt murder, but they refused, ! Knapp might not stand by his confession, that they might fail to convict him and he would then be free. ring | TONIGHT— EFFIE ELLSLER In the Best of-All Romantic Dramas, ““When Knighthopd Was in Elo?r."
