A Way to Push Off the “Hang On’s.” Perheps some day you will wake up to the fact that coffee is quickly and surely Going business for you. why the symptoms of disease ' which grow more and more pronounced do not disappear, but hang on in spite of all the medicines you can take. Fixed organic disease may result if you keep up your present course, apd yet it is an easy thing to give up coffee and get well. Have your cook make Postum Food Coffee strictly according to direc- tions, and that is easy. Use enough of it &nd taste, then you will find that the famous food drink will satisfy your coffee taste end the old troubles gradually disappear. There are hundreds of thousands of cases in America that prove the truth of this statement. A gentleman from Columbus, Ga., says: *“My wife had been an invalid for some time and ¢id not seem to yield to any sort of medicines. She could not eat anything without distress, and, naturally, was bad- iy run ery way. Finelly we concluded that perbaps it was the coffee that hurt her, so she quit it and went on to Postum, also began' ueing Grepe-Nuts Breakfast Food. She immediately began to improve and kept galning strength and health. Now she can eat heartily of anything she wants, vege- tables and anything else, without hurting her. She has gained nearly thirty pounds since she made the change. “I saw such an improvement in her health that I decided to quit coffee my- self, and you would be surprised to see the change.

This spot wi decided upon at a meeting held in the valley last week between Professor A. C. Lawson, chairman of the Le Conte memorial committee of the Sierra Club, and W. W. Foote, W. H. Metson and Charles 8. Givens, representing the val- ley Commissioners. As a further mark of respect, the committee of the valley com- mission decided at the same_meeting to Conte last summer, the Sferra Club, of which he had been an enthusiastic mem- ber, inaugurated the movement to erect a suitable memorial in the place he loved so well and where 80 much of his scientific labor had been expended. It was decided to erect a lodge, which should be both a headquarters for the club and a place of convenience for all visitors to the valley. Subscriptions were started both within the club and among the students of the University of California and the host of friends and admirers of the dead profes- sor. So ready has been the response to the demands of the club that there is now more than $3000 at hand and operations on the construction of the lodge will begin within a month. » — costing approximately $5000. The archi- tecture is ancient gothic and is well suit- ed to the grandeur of the surrounding landscape. The lodge will contain a library, reading-room and assembly hall, all finished off with native valley wood. th sufficient funds assured, the next step of the memorial committee was to secure the consent of the valley commis- sion for the erection of the memorial lodge. The committee announced that the lodge was to be open to the public and only reserved the right to have it remain under the care and custody of the Slerra Club. After some correspondence the val- Jey Commissioners announced their readi- ness to lease the club one acre of ground at any desirable point, the lease to be re- newed every ten years. Their only de- mand was that the plans for the building should be submitted to them for approval.

JOSEPH, Mo., June 10.—Chicago Great Western passenger train No. 1 was wrecked seven miles north of this city this afternoon and several coaches were piled in the ditch. The train was running about forty miles an hour when the rails spread and the coaches left the track. The coaches were totally wrecked and piled together in a mass. It is almost miraculous that no one was killed. Only one passenger was injured. He is Henry Van der Baugh, a traveling man, with headquarters in New York City. The en- tire train, consisting of seven coaches, left the track and rolled down a twelve- foot embankment. Nearly every car was badly splintered.

B ] BURGLAR CONVICTED.—Charles Coulter was convicted of burglary in the second de- gree in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday. Coul- ter broke into Kahn's obtical store last Feb- ruary and stole $250 worth of goods. He was aided by a confederate, who escaped. As a result of the action of the Commis- sioners, the final step was taken last Wednesday in the valley, when represen- tatives of the Sierra Club and of the val- ROOT AWAITS COURT REGORD: WASHINGTON, June 10 —Secretary Root sald to-night that he had not yet had time to consider the case of General J. H. Smith, .tried by court-martial at Manila for alleged violation of the rules of war in the conduct of the campaign in Samar, He added that, as the Smith case was based practically on the transaction which led to the trial of Major L. W. T. Waller of the marine corps by court-martial, charged with the alleged unlawful killing of Filipino prisoners, he would probably await the receipt of the record of that case before giving comsideration to the | Smith case. The Waller record is not ex- pected to reach this city for several Wreeks. It is said at the War Department that the Waller case is a closed incident, but that the Smith case will not be legally closed until it has been finally acted upon by the President. The significance of this | statement is that it is still within the power of the President to return the case to the court for the reconsideration of the evidence adduced, even though the officer was acquitted by the court, as the press dispatches from Manila have indicated. The court could not be legally com- pelled to change its findings, however, against its own judgment, and its ad- herence to a verdict of not gullty would A Story of Modern Hero- ism Gray- Troop HARPER & BROTHERS, New York City The Captain of the BY Hamlin Garland Author of “Main Traveled Roads,”” etc. $1.50 Horse e 2 e e e e ley Commissfoners agreed upon a location beneath Glacier Point, half way between Camp Curry and _the schoolhouse. % The members of the Le Conte memorial stand despite the disapproval of the Pres- ident, which in that case would be sim: ply a rebuke to the court without affect- | irg the legal status of the accused. MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE OF A CALIFORNIAN John R. Winders Shoots Himself in His Room in a Chicago Hotel. CHICAGO, June 10.—John R. Winders of Oakland, Cal., shot and killed himself this morning in his room at the Deming | Hotel, Madison and Clark streets, where he had registered as J. R. Wilson last Thursday. The motive for his act is not | known. It is reported that Winders came | here in the interest of some labor move- ment._ A note found on the dresser read: “If T am found dead please notify John Collner.” Collner is a compositor of San Francis- co. Winders wore a diamond ring and had in his possession a gold watch and $150 in money. He was about 58 years oid and was a Mason. John R. Winders was born in Aubur: Cal., and was well known among prin ers all over the State, having served sev- eral years as District Organizer. He was a delegate to the International Typo- graphical Union from No. 21 three times and was a regular attendant at the ses- sions of the union for twenty years.

VES BI SUM 10 THE STATE SACRAMENTO, June 10.—Under a rul- ing made by Superior Judge J. W. Hughes this morning in the coyote scalp suits which are being prosecuted In his | court, the State will be saved thousands of dollars. Judge Hughes ruled that un- der the statute of 1901 the mere agent to whom a claim has been assigned is nei- ther an ‘“owner’” nor a “holder” within the meaning of the statute. = The law relating to coyote scalp claims requires that suits on certificates shall be commenced within one year of their issu- ance by the “‘owner or holder.” Hundreds of claims, aggregating thousands of doi- lars, have been assigned to banks and other agents for collection, and under Judge Hughes' ruling present holders are merely agents. It is too late for these ciaims to be transferred back to the orig- inal claimants and the statute of limita- tions comes to the rescue of the State treasury. ARCHITECT ATTACHES THE RICHELIEU SALOON Herbert Choynski, Who Is Now in Possession of the Place, Pays the Claim. Another attachment was issued yester- day against the Richelieu saloon. It was immediately released by Herbert Choyn- ski, who claims to be a partner of Charles Newman in the profits of the business. The attachment, which was for a little_more than $1200, was sworn out by J. F. Dunn, an architeet, who has been superintending the alterations which Newman was maa- ing when the row over the possession of the saloon occurred. Choynski and his armed bartenders held possession of the place yesterday. They were ready for any kind of a fracas. Dur- ing the forenoon Newman entered the sa- loon in a peaceable manner and was for- cibly ejected by one of Choynski's men. It is quite likely that some definite court order will be issued to-day waich will put an end to the quarrel over possession of the resort. L * Clerk Conway’s Peculations. It was discovered yesterday that Fred- erick Conway, the defaulting clerk of Judge Mogan’s court, had been ‘‘grafting” as far back as November 2, 150. On that date he sused an order for $5 bail money deposited for the release of Eliza Thomp- son on a charge of drunkenness. The bail was forfeited, but the case was marked “dismissed”’ by Conway on the court rec- ord. He made the order payable to Wal- ter Gallagher, an attorney, who had noth- ing to do with the case, and signed the name “T. Gallagher” on the back of it. Gallagher was asked for an explanation yesterday and the fraud came to light. ————— ! Florence L. TRAINER LEAN AGAIN IN GOURT Wife of Olympic Club Man Brings a Suit for Divorce. Remarriage That Occasioned Great Surprise Proves a Failure. Al Lean, the well-known Olympic Club trainer, is asain in trouble with his wife, and for a second time the divorce court has been appealed to to straighten out tbeir matrimonial entanglements. This time Mrs. Lean is the plaintiff. She filed a suit for divorce yesterday, accusing Lean of infidelity and naming Bertha Jones as co-respondent. The troubles of the Leans commenced last February, when Lean sued his wife for divorce on the ground of intemper- ance. Mrs. Lean filed a cross-complaint, in whicleshe accused her husband of mal- treating her. The suit was heard before Judge Kerrigan, who granted Mrs. Lean the divorce. The decree was signed March 14, and husband and wife went their sep- arate ways until April 29, when, to the surprise of thelr friends, they remarried. Their happiness was short lived, for Mrs. Lean in the suit flled yesteday alleges that her husband’'s attentions to Miss Jones became known to her within the week following the second marriage. Annie Breeser has brought a suit for orce against Gustav Breeser on the ground of crueity. She alleges that sinca their marriage in 1320 he has made her unhappy and miserable by _frequently beating her black and blue. She alieges also that she has had to flee from their home at midnight to save herseif. Jewel H. Smith, who was married to | Perrin B. Smith at Ophir, Placer County, in August, 1833, is suing for divorce on the grounds of desertion and failure to pro- vide. She alleges that Smith left her a year ago and that since that time she has had to depend upon her own efforts for support. D. Howard Foote secured a divorce from Foote in Judge Graham's court yesterday on the ground of cruelty. | Mrs. Foote resides in the East. Caroline Louise Delahay is suing James Aibert Delahay for divorce, alleging de- sertion and failure to provide. They were married in December, 199, and have one™ child. The alleged desertion occurred two months after the wedding. Charles E. Morse, an engineer on_ the steamer City of Peking, was ordered by Judge Seawell yesterday to pay his wife, Minnie Morse, $40 a month during the pendency of a suit for divorce brought by Mrs. Morse. She charges her husband with desertion. Annie C. Postel, who is suing F. O. F. Postel for divorce on the ground of cru- elty, will recive $25 a month alimony until the suit is decided. Judge Graham issued an order to that effect yesterday. Thomas B. Eagan, who receives $150 a month from the United Raliroads, was very much subdued when he appeared be- fore Judge Kerrigan yesterday at noon to show cause why he should not be pun- ished for allowing his divorced wife, Mary BEagan, and his seven children to exist as best they could without any aid from him. He owes his wife two months’ ali- mony, amounting to $130, and tried to evade the payment by claiming that he had not been working. The books of the corporation showed that he had $75 com- ing to him, and the court ordered him to pay $2 of this amount to Mrs. Eagan without any further delay. “You will also,” said the court, “leave at the office of your attorney on the lith of each month $65 alimony and $10 a month additional until you pay up the amount you now owe her. And I advise you, Eagan, to make an effort to get in | favor with this court by ‘doing all you can for the little woman whom you have so shamefully treated.” | MRS, BOTEIN'S SECOND TRIAL WILL BE HELD District Attorney Byington Says Dover Witnesses Will Be Prop- erly Remunerated. District Attorney Byington was not worried over the dispatch from Dover published yesterday to the effect that the witnesses against Mrs. Cordelia Botkin would not come here because they would not be properly remunerated for their loss of time. he second trial will take place,” said the District Attorney yesterday. “I den't think there will be any difficulty in get- ting the witnesses to come here, as they will be properly remunerated. The Super- visors have set aside $4000 for their ex- enses, which will bring them to the State ine, and then the Judge can draw on the treasury for whatever extra amount is needed. “Judge Cook is now on his vacation, but I will take the first opportunity of speaking to him and making arrangements for bringing the witnesses here. I want him to wait upon the Mayor and suggest that some person should be sent to Dela- ware to get the witnesses together and bring them to this city.” ADVERTISEMENTS.
