IMITATION COFFEE.
The Name Not Faucied by Postum Cereal

Coffee drinkers may be interested to
know the opinion Of some competent
physicians in regard to the. use of Pos
tum, the grain drink, in place OF coffee.
Let it be understood that the manufac-
turers do not decry the use Of coffee by
healthy persons, but there is a great
army of intelligent men and women oe
the present day who cannot stand the
steady, daily poison of coffee, tobacco
and whisky without feeling the effect in
some serious bodily arrangement.
Or. T. f. Cassidy, editor of the 'Medi-
cal Argus" Minneapolis, Mimi, writes.

is kind enough to add: .'I fully coincide
with your views in regard to the use of
coffee and tobacco by neurasthenics
mervous patients). / am using Postum
every day and am greatly pleased with
it."
A great many people who are not keer
ly sensitive to their coffee tastes, state
that Postum tastes so much like coffee
that they do not notice the difference
when it is served at breakfast.
The makers do not claim however. tina:
ii has exactly the same taste as the fin
est coffee.
1t has exactly the same color, and is
just as plQu2nL ana punSSnl IN us TASTE
as the finest Mocha coffee. but the taste
is distinct and belongs to Postum alone.
1t is made by the Postum Cereal Co.,
lim., of Battle Creek, Mich, and it is
not an imitation of any drink, but stands
On its own footing as a wonderfully pala
table and delicious table drink, thorough
ly healthul and nourishing, and is made
strictly of the grains. 1t is impossible
for anyone to judge Of the perfection of
the product without a careful personal
test of it.
There are thousands Of people using
Postum, the health coffee, in place of
coffee, and who have been benefited in
their health to an extent that commands
their esteem and warm friendship for
Postum.

of the United States army, arrived In
Denver today and called al the Office %
State Engineer Summer to LOOK over the

Captain Crittenden's mission is one OF

eastern side of the divide, which will
save huge volumes of water which now
run to waste in the spring. The project
will. when completed. open up vast areas

making of federal reservoirs. one in Wy

For the past three weeks there has
been man In this vicinity, claiming to
be John Taylor from Wis. whose actions
have been so mysterious as to excite
comment. He would hire team here
and start away at night, be gone three
or four days. and would come back with
a good roll of money. About week
ago, Bert Russell who has been night
clerk at the Sank Centre House for the
past six months, became associated
with Taylor in his enterprise, and the
two would make the trips together. As
to what they have been doing has been
a mystery until last Monday. Although
George Fish, suspecting they were do
ing something crooked has kept his eye
on them fos some time but failed to To-
cate their business.
Last Monday morning Chas. Homm,
living six miles west OF this city, missed
some wheat from his granary. he found
wagon tracks leading towards West
port, following them he learned that
two men had sold load of wheat at
place at a, m. Getting description OF
the parties he took two or three men
with him and started in pursuit. Near
West Union the parties were overtaken
and proved to be Taylor and Russell
who Acknowledged the theft and turned
over to Mr.. Homm, the proceeds of the
sale, amounting to $3.50. Homm
brought them to West Union and tele-
graphed to George Fish. who met them
two miles from the city, brought them
in and locked them up.
Next morning thew waived examina-
tion and was taken to the st. Cloud
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury. George Fish took from them
thirty-two grain sacks evidently belong
ing to some farmer marked b. R.
During Bert Russell's stay at the
Sank Centre house he served to be an
upright young man, but was led astray
by Taylor who is what is called very
smooth. Bert Is now fully realizing
that the way OF the transg.essor is
hard.

How Bros. & Co., are retailing the

\ Remarkable Hen.

BOURBON, Feb. T. 1885, Especial TO
THE DAILY INDEPENDENT. Since the
report of few days ago regarding the
great production of eggs from some 2S
hens owned by Upton Stansbury,of Ply
mouth, there has been brought to our
notice a most peculiar freak OF nature,
so it would seem to the casual observer,
but to the person concerned it seems as
only result of st udy and labor.
Mr.. Chas. Spencer, prominent bar
Der of this place, has been engaged for
the past four years in raising thorough
bred poultry. He has at last succeeded

noted for its peculiar stripping, the stripes
begin just back of its ear lobes passing
around the body and changing from
red, white and blue, each color being
very distinct Mr.. Spencer claims 10
have produced this pullet by cross
breeding with the Red Pile, Leghorn,
White Wonder and Blue Andalusian.
But what seems the most strange is
that the pullet has just laid her first eg g
which is striped the same as herself
with circles of red, white and blue, but
this has been satisfactorily accounted
for by Mr. o. II. Greer, and Mr.. VIM
Rudi, both of this place. After making
close examinations of the coops and the
parks they found that Mr.. Spencer had
placed some two years ago an old bar
ber pole in the coop for roost and this
pullet has always used the same for
roosting. This, with the nature of the
hen has caused some curiosity.

evening with the Gertrude Sprague

The large auditorium of this church
was packed, every seat being filled and
chairs placed in the aisles to accomma-

With the exception of the necessity
to use an organ instead of piano, the
latter being an actual necessity to com
pletely give the musical numbers the
desired effect, the concert was a success,
and highly appreciated 10y all present.
While some of our people were in
clined to think it was not up to the
standard OF the original Schumann
