Returning shortly after he found that Wright had forced in the door and was struggling with young Snell who was trying to throw him -out. He surrendered when Mr. Kitts appeared on the scene and saying, “I'll show you where I got in,” he led the way to the door and rushed out. He dodged around the building and escaped them, : l Wright went down the road to A. D. Sutton’s ranch. There was nobody in the house but Mrs. A. R. Ivey and Miss Ida Hughes. He tried to getin at the doors, and finding them locked went to a window and tried to raise it. The ladies were badly frightened, but Mrs. Ivey confronted him with a gun and told him if he did not leave she would shoot him. While he was still loitering aronnd Mr. Ivey got home. The tramp attacked him with aclub as he approached the house, Ivey took the club away and gave him a beating. At the same place a little earlier Wright went to the cowyard where John Dailey was milking and said: “I have bought a haif interest in this place. I haven’t any more use-for yon. Come to the office and I’ll pay you off.” He escorted the young man to the chicken house and there throwing atin can at him told him to make himself scarce. Wright also visited the Wills place in the same’neighborhood where John Skewes live. Hetried to get into the house and making a good deal of noise refused to leave when ordered todo so. Mr. Skewes fired a gun in the air and that had the desired effect.

Edeson’s: three-act farce comedy, “Iwo Married Men,” will be produced at the theater in this city. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer of November 28th says of this show: George R. Edeson’s three-act farcecomedy, “Two Married Men,” was greeted by a crowded house at the Third Avenue theater last evening and if the succession of roars of laughter and encores that followed the action and specialties throughout the evening cat be accepted as an index of success, the “Two Married Men,” can be said to have scored one, Charles E. Schilling, the once popular minstrel, called up old memories in his musical act, but the black face and the make-up were missed. He has a lot of great musical cialties, made the hit of the evening, as did also the Grierson sisters. The comedy as a whole is clever and brimful of farcial situations, in which J. proved very acceptable. Ray Lewis had a great deal to do and did it well. Lilie Kenwick’s dancing was well received. The “Two Married Men” will be on the boards all the week. PELL OCCASIONALLY At Church Suppers, Weddings and Parties. “The minister liked coffee.

Gradually the pbysical and mental machinery becan.e . clogged, tongue coated, dull headaches and a general depressed condition of the system turned his delightful occupation intoa dreary treadwill. .

THE MINISTER'S WIFE. to the fact that the unsuspected coffee was very likely the cause of his trouble, and it was suggested that if he would use Postum Food Coffee and indnce the good wife to be particular to boil it long enough to extract the delicious flavor and the elements: which go to rebuild the broken down nerve centres, his trouble would be gone. This was two years and a half ago, and since that time not a pound of coffee has been purchased by the minister’s family. night Postum makes its appearance on the table, and is enjoyed by all. With the departure of coffee went. the minister’s bad feelings, and with the coming of Postum came a feeling of exhilaration, a better appetite and a constantly increasing weight. From the start the minister’s Postum has been properly made, because of the warning. . : At one time during the absence of the house-wife, the domestic, not being particular about preparing Postum according to directions, made it weak and insipid, which we find is a very common complaint among those who do not understand that there is no way to extract the delicious flavor from Postum except by long boiling, Made properly, it is clear, black and has a crisp, pungent, fascinating taste. Occasionally the minister has been induced to drink a cup of coffee at weddings, parties, etc., but many sleepless hours of the night are passed in consequence.
