POSTUM CEREAL.
COFFEE DID IT.
Would Have Been Fatal if Kept Up.
(fee!! () h. how I did want it after
i'the nervous strain of public work.
thing warm to brace me up wa.=
: reakfasi I craved, but every
: tlme I iivhi.U it I suffered the dying
ition that follows it with heart
•ring and throbbing of the throat
■ .irs.
I had no strength to throw away in
stray, so decided that hot water
must do for me.
One morning I came to breakfast in
thf- home of some friends in Puebla,
Col., just )n time t<> see thf> mother i
ng some rich, deep yellow coffee)
mugs for the two little boys. One
hap had thrust his fingers in the
and was licking them with such
smacks. This opened the
way : Bay, "Are you not afraid
of the of coffee on the little
folks?" The mother explained that it
was Postuj . Pood Coffee made at Bat-
Creek, Michigan, and remarked,
"We think there is nothing like, it."
Then she explained how the new cof-
fee had weaned them away from the
use of the old-fashioned coffee and tea
because "it is bo wholesome."' I
drank it there for the first time, and
was delighted not only with the deli-
rious flavor, but the after satisfaction
it gives. One day I was shaking with i
pur family physician's wife ahout Pos- j
turn, when her daughter remarked:
V-s, mamma, we are nut of Postum,
;in<V I have used coffee for the last two
mornings and it always brings the tired !
feeling and troubles my stomach and i i
bowels, but Poetum makes me feel all |
right." I
In one home they Berved Postum in j
such- a way that It waa tasteless. Ij i
have found that Postum boiled some-
times live minutes, and sometimes ten, h
is nothing more than spoiled water; but
when it la made with two heaping teas-
poqhsful for each cup and boiled fifteen
or. twenty minutes, it becomes a tried
and proven breakfast favorite, and for :
refreshment and wholesome nourish-
ment has no equal. M. M. Yates, \

ility for making friends. When not uud»»r the influence of liquor he was a
charming companion and numbered unong Mis friends many persons of con
siderable influence. Among these was the brother of Mrs. Leland Stanford,

CHINESE HIGHBINDER
KILLS HIS ENEMY
Rivalry for the Affections of
a Woman Leads to a De
liberate Mjrder.
cZjyZ CHINESE love affair led to a
II Y^ murder early yesterday morn
/r==\ ln *-
U \^> Shoe Hoon Sein and Ng Tow
Sheong were rivals for the
.t flections of a Chinese belle and Sein
billed Sheong in* order to get him out
of the way.
Sheong was the bookkeeper for the
Chinese firm of Cerro Howart & Co.,
at 227 Clay street and lived on the
premises. Bui is a laborer, and says
it was a case of murder or being mur
dered. About 7 a. m. he went to the
cigar factory and found Ng Vow
Sheong asleep on a cot at the rear of
the cigar factory. "I told him to wake
up and fight, but he wouldn't," said
Shee Hoon Sein, "so I shot him in the
head. He was a heap bad man and
told my girl that he would poison
me."
SI ■ •• Hoon Sein was killed with the
first shot. It made an ugly wound In
his head, and death must have been
instantaneous. After firing the shot
Sein ran away and was captured on
Sacramento street by Sergeant
Brpphy and charged with murder at
the Harbor police station. The Smith
& Wesson pistol with which he did
the shooting- was booked as evidence
against him.
At the Central police station,
whither he was removed early in the.
day. Shee Hoon Sein readily admitted
that he had killed his rival. He said
that the girl's name was Leng Goo,
and that she was the property of Son
retaryi. L. F. Byington. W. B. Harring
ton, C. D Hobson and .1. P. Dockery.
There was presented a communication
from E. Mulligan, secretary to Archbishop
Riordan. inclosing a check for $25 as a
contribution from the Archbishop to the
fund. His Grace presented his respectful
compliments and wished the work every
success.
Ge rg'e H. ROOS, Leon L. Run? and Rob
ert A. "Boos of Roos Bros, sent a check
for $30 being the second donation from
the firm to the fund. L. B. Murray, N.
Trout and the William Lewis Company
each contributed $5.
The contributions up to date amount to
$3237 SO. airman Greaney reported that
it is probable the contributions from those
who are employed In the City Hall will
amount in the aggregate to between $550
and $600.
Congressman Julius Kalin reported that
the number of volunteers from California
(army and navy) entitled to medals will
number in the aggregate about 9000 men.
I.eng To|. a gambler. The dead man,
according to him. had given I.eng Goo
a powder which she had given to him.
It was to make his love stronger, but
it made him very sick and he nearly
died. Ng Vow Sheong next threatened
to kill him, so he got his gun and
killed his enemy.
When seen in the City Prison the
murderer said that Ng Vow Sheong
was a had man and had caused a h» ap
of trouble, leading one of his coun
trymen to commit suicide. He ad
mitted that he had been ordered to
kill him. He said he belonged to the
Sam Tups, and the murdered man to
the Suey Yups.

PROPOSED TAX
ON STUDENTS
AT BERKELEY
A Special Meeting of
Regents Is Called.
GAGE IS HEARD FROM
LIBERAL CALIFORNIANS ARE
NOT OFFERING ASSISTANCE.
The Governor Pocketed a Bill to Re
imburse Money Advanced to
Help the Destitute
Farmers.
The Board of Regents at a recent
session voted to impose a registration
tax of $20 on each student attending
the university. This measure was
adopted to cover an anticipated deficit
of $47.<iiio. The professors strenuously
objected to any reduction of their sal
aries and the sense of the hoard was
against the abolition of a single exist
ing department of the institution. The
finance committee failed to find a way
other than that nf imposing a tax on
the students. The proposition was vig
orously resisted by Judge Wallace.
John E. Budd and H. S. Foote. hut the
majority of the regents favored it.
When Governor Gage heard what the
regents proposed to do hp wrote a let
ter expressing his dissent and suggest
ing a special meeting to reconsider the
action of the board. Judge Slack, who
voted in favor of the tax. is of the opin
ion that the regents will cheerfully ac
quiesce if some other plan of providing
for the money can be presented. He
supported the measure to tax the stu
dents because he saw no other way to
overcome the deficit. The committee
in preparing the budget found that a
certain Bum of money was required for
the maintenance of each of the depart
ments of the university, and that the
aggregate sum demanded exceeded the
estimated income by $47,000.
In making estimates of the revenue
which the university will d> rive from
the State on the 2-cent tax, the regents
n'eure that the valuation of taxable
property for this year will not show
an increase as compared with last
year's valuation. The alarm of the re
gents may be premature. If the As
sessors of other counties of the State
shall show as much enterprise in the
work of expanding Ih* assessment roll
as the Assess.^ of San Francisco Is dis
playing the university will have a sur
plus rather than a deficit.
Governor Gage may be able to con
vince the regents that the increased
valuation will render the proposed tax
unnecessary. It is noted that the agi
tation for money to maintain the uni
versity has not induced citizens of
wealth and public spirit to signify a
readiness to advance coin on the credit
of the State. Eastern people hearing
so much about our great university
may regard it as rather remarkable
that so much clamor should be made
Of :i small deficit of $47,000. They must
naturally infer that the millionaires of
California do not manifest much con
cern in higher education when no one
offers to help the university. The East
erners may not be advised of the fact
that California recently contributed a
rare specimen to the gallery of freak
Governors, and therein lies the reason
that public spirited men of means are
not offering to assist th» State.
Our freak Governor holds that money
advanced on the credit and honor of
the commonwealth should not be re
paid. The fact will be recorded in the
annals of California that Governor
Budd on the credit of the State pro
cured (25,000 from a generous citizen to
assist settlers in a drought -stricken dis
trict. The money was disbursed by a
commission appointed by the Governor
and consisting of the Mayor of San
Francisco, the president of the Mer
chants' Association and the president
of the State Agricultural Society. The
accounting showed that every dollar
expended went to the relief of some
destitute farmer. Both houses of the
Legislature without dissent passed the
bill to repay the money so advanced
on the credit of the commonwealth.
When the bill reached Governor Gage
he put it in his porket and denied re
payment of the sum advanced. In view
of the transaction, it is not likely that
there will be a rush of liberally in*
clined citizens to assist the State Uni
versity. When money advanced to help
the settlers is not repaid, there can be
no assurance that an advance to as
sist the students will be recognized as
an honorable obligation.
