A prominent St. Paul woman comments on coffee as follows: “While I was drinking coffee I was troubled with sleeplessness and palpitation of the heart. I began to feel suspicious of coffee poison and having no desire to arug myself, realizing how inconsistent was for me to continue the use of any- g that helped to break me down, so 1 quit coffee and began using Postum Coffee. “Now I gleep well and consequently feel shed, and am much strengthened. Pal on of the heart has ceased and altogether life seems worth living. “Some of our family like a little coffee waixe with the Postum; that, of eourse, is much healthier than the old fashioned coffee alone.” It is true t very strong coffee of the best flavor has a little more fascinating taste to some palates chan pure Postum. On the other hand, there are thousands of people that prefer the flavor of Postum pure znd simple. If coffee agrees per- fectly, &nd people are not fll in any way, there seems no good reason why coffee should be discontinued unless there is a fear of disease finally setting up from the continued use of a drug. On the other hand, if any member of a family is afling in stomach, bowels, kidneys, eyes, or the nervous system, such a one should immediately quit ordinary coffee and take Postum Food Coffee. A sure result can be depended upon and a grad- ual feeling of health and strength will come from the change. Health, of course, i worth almost everything on earth. Some people are so constituted that it is hard for them to give up a habit even if good health is the reward, but it is perfectly easy to-leave off coffee when one can have a well bolled cup of Pos- tum in its place, ir He WM“EN covered with the pests, and a con- ogether with the wagon. | He was | the | ]«'nu Feather River.

COMBINE TO FIGHT THE MORGAN SYNDICATE British Shippers Organize With a Capital of One Hundred Million Dollars. LONDON, June 20.—The British ship- ping combination which intends to com- pete with the Morgan syndicate for the North Atlantic and Pacific freight and passenger business is now practically con- summated. Many reports of the forma- tion of a new syndicate, more or less ac- curate, have appeared in the last week. To-day the following. details were learned: Sir Christopher Furness is to be the head of the new combination. It is to be capitalized at £20,000,000. The Cun- ard Company is ineluded in the deal. The British Government has agreed largely to increase the present subgftiies, while Can- ada vromlwrf: least® £1,000,000 vearly. Six large passenger boats, capable of twenty-five knots an hour, are to be built, also 2 dozen sixteen-knot freighters, at an aggregate cost of £8,500,000. The entire capital has been underwritien. One well- known _capitalist. who offered to take up a big block of the stock, was told that the whole amount had been subscribed. In the minds“of those who support the scheme, the Atlantic aspect is not greater than the Pacific. The main idea is the utllization of the Canadian Pacific rail- road as the chief link in the chain bring- ing Australia, India, China and Japan into nearer and more intimate touch with England and providing an all-British route shorter than any at present avail- able. s A Millions Offered for the Mills.

DECLARES ADMIRALTY SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE Rear Admiral Beresford Protests Against Methods in Vogue in % the British Navy. LONDON, June 20.—During the discus- slon of the navy estimates in the House of Commons to-day, Rear Admiral Charles Beresford, Conservative, scath- ingly criticized the deficiencies of the navy. He declared the whole Admiralty system was rotten and led to great ex- travagance and that there was a general want of efficlency in the navy, on which depended the existence of the empire. This was the judgment of all the commis- | sions of inquiry and had been proven a fact. Every increase in the number of ships and every improvement in them had been the resuit of outside agitation. As a result of such agitation the British Mediterranean fleet was now a fourth stronger than a year ago. It is remark- able, Lord Beresford added, that both army and navy officers were compelled to threaten to resign in order to get things righted. naval reserves instead of the requisite 80,000, and the engine-room departments were thousands of men short. As to arm- ament, both the United States and France possessed superior guns. continue until a separate board was ap- pointed at the Admiralty and was made responsible for the efficiency of the fleet. Treasury control was fatal to efficiency. As an instance, the speaker pointed out the case of Sir Willlam Vernon Harcourt, who, when Chancellor of the Excheaquer, put his pen through the ammunition sup- plies after the guns had been ordered. - RETURNS TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THE KIDNAPING Utah Youth Injured and Almost Starved by Men Who Wanted a Ransom.

Battles Fiercely With Deputy Sheriff, but Finally Is Overcome, Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 20. Deputy Sheriff John Striker had an ex- citing struggle with a madman on the train to Stockton last night. He was tak- ing August R. Richardson to the insane asylum and on the way the man became so violent that the passengers fled from the car. leaving Striker to continue the struggle alone. Not even the train hands dared enter the car to help the strug-| gling Sheriff. | Richardson was the man who walked into the police station two days ago and | informed Officer Curtis that he was likely to kill himself or somebody else. At his examination for insanity Richardson could remember little of his past, except he insisted that he once killed a man in ‘Tennessee. On the way to the train yesterday Rich- ardson was as docile as any sane person on the street. He followed Striker through the crowd at the mole and kept up an apparently rational conversation. But he suddenly betrayed what was com- | ing on the train. He leaned over and whispered to Striker that the Sheriff was the brother of the man he had killed in Tennessee. Striker tried to quiet the man, but just after leaving Sixteenth street station he butted his head through the window. ‘When Striker jumped on him he kicked | a hole through another window. In the fierce struggle that ensued Richardson kicked two seats out of their sockets. The passengers, fearful of the result of the fight, hurriedly deserted the car and Striker was left alone to conquer if he could. He fought to keep the maniac | stretched between two seats, but he was unequal to the battle against superhuman strength. At last Striker succeeded in Eumng handcuffs on the man’'s wrists and olding him down in the seat. This was accomplished only after the madman had slashed his throat with a piece of glass. | The car was covered with spattered blood. | “At Port Costa State policemen were called in to help Striker. They tied him down with a bell rope and then sat on him. Still the man struggled and by the time Stockton was reached his wrists were | worn to the bone from the handcuffs. “I was like paper in that man’s hands,” said Striker to-day, when describing his experfence. “He had the strength of a| lion and I the strength of a cat. It's a| wonder he didn’t kill me.” HARMONY EXISTS IN ELKDOM. Oakland and San Francisco Lodges Will Jointly Celebrate To-Night. The story of ill-feeling existing between the members of Oakland Lodge and San Francisco Lodge No. 3 is entirely myth- ical. Never in the history of Elkdom have two herds browsed together in such harmony, and to-night there will be such a display of good fellowship that even | these who got jammed &iid squeezed a ittle bit last Monday night will forget their so-called kick . and “lock horns™ with their brothers from across the bay in a manner that will forever set at rest | all_ rumors of discontent. Past Exalted Ruler Harry Melvin and Frank Leavitt of Oakland Lodge visited the local lodge last night and received a welcome that put to shame even the far- famed ‘“‘glad hand’ usually extended vis- iting brothers. They completed arrange- ments for the love' feast to-night, and Efl{e promised hearty support by the local S. A special boat has been chartered to carry every Elk in this city and the friend of every Eilk to Oakland, where they will be met by a special train and conveyed to Broadway station. A brass band and a special committee of Oakland Elks will meet them at Broadway and escort them to the carnival grounds. Transportation and admission to the grounds will be pre- sented to every one afflliated with the Elks of this city by the Oakland Ledge. The special_boat will leave this side of the bay at 7:46 p. m. The eagerness displayed last night by the local Elks to join with their Oakland brothers proved a great source of sdtis- faction to Melvin and Leavitt, and proves conclusively that the rumors of ill-feel- ing toward the Oakland Lodge are entire- 1y without foundation. —_—— RETAIL GROCERS’ UNION WINS IMPORTANT POINT J.

Thieves Take Sack of Coin From Unguarded Money Register. Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 20. ‘W. C. Harding, the man from Tonopah, who was separated from most of his money in a well-known saloon last night, has suffered two big losses since he left Nevada a few days ago with the Elks' fair for his destination. Harding sold a restaurant in Tonopah and started right off to Oakland to spend the proceeds. But h> spent the most of it at Reno, where a lot of gamblers mulcted him out of $900 by means of faro. When he arrived in Oakland last night he flashed $300 in greenbacks everywhere he went and be- fore very long his pockets had been picked of that too. He said at first that it was 3900, but when he counted up to- day discovered that it was only $300 that he lost. No trace of the thieves has been found. The till of the Postoffice restaurant was robbed of $400 last night right under the noses of the proprietors. The place was ¢crowded and when the till was left tem~ porarily unguarded some one stole a leather sack full of money, estimated to have contained $400. 5 Daylight burglars visited the home of Mrs. C. J. Kinney of East Oakland yes- terday and stole $2%5 In eenbacks, $400 in cash and a bankbook showing deposits in banks of $5000.

Burnett in the practice of law, but recentl he opened an office in the Parrott building. His last active work was as attorney for the Pacific Bank, which is at present in liquidation.

Sawyer and Dr. T. E. Sawyer, both of San Francisco. Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but it will probably take place on Sunday from the First Congre- gational Church, of which the deceased was a member. — e RATHER CURIOUS CRIME OF A REJECTED WOOER John Shaw Is Accused of Stealing a Purse From Woman Whose Life He Had Threatened.

Mrs. Smith was married to Emmet Smith, an employe of the United Railroads, about two weeks ago. Prior to that time Shaw had been pestering her with his atten- tions.
