DOWNING THE DEALER.


How the Neophyte Put the "Kibosh" on
the Yorkshireman.
1t takes a Yorkshire man to make a
householder, but this time the canny
Tyke missed his mark when he tried
taking in a Neophyte in the horse bust
ness.
Said the dealer:
Now there's little 'oss l can war
rant. He's clever, perfectly-trained.
snaffle-bridle hunter, and fast; up to
twice your weight across any country.
Sold for no fault, well bred and power
full, highly couraged, good tempered
and temperate with hounds, quiet and
free from vice. Well known with her
majesty's, the Surrey, Berks, Cam
bridge, Essex, Kent, Warwickshire, Mr..
Scatton's, the Quorn, Pytchley and
several other tiptop packs. Winner of
many races, out of constant work; per-
fectly sound, grand action and thor
oughly broken. Goes well in harness;
has run wheeler and leader in a team,
will work in a cart, pillow or harrow.
Never out of his place, a capital jumper,
never made mistake in his life over

good walker and first-class trotter; ex-
cellent park hack; never sick or sorry
since he was foaled, and subject to any
vets examination, and to be sold for T.
song!"
"Ah," said the Neophyte, I'm doubt
full he's scarcely enough of 'oss for me.
If he could only trap rabbits, manage
foreign and fancy poultry, rear pleas
ants, do little plain gardening, milk
and look after COW and pig, wait at
table, teach in the Sunday school and
play the organ in church, why, I
wouldn't mind taking him on six
months trial! Eh?"
No deal.-N. Y. Mercury.

PLAIN, CLEAR WATER.
Characteristic Story About the Late John

Ii. Drake.
The Chicago Evening Post tells a
number of characteristic stories about
the late John B. Drake, for so many
years proprietor of the Grand Pacific,
hotel, Chicago. On one occasion a trav-
cling man saw him go into a little room
behind the key box frame and drink
some water, as was his habit, and he.
accosted the little man: "Say, John,
why don't you patronize the bar.

such thing, instead of that plain water?

Dyspeptic Oranges.

A mysterious disease which has at
tackled many orange trees in Florida has
been discovered to be indigestion. The
department of agriculture in it's Year
Book" pays special attention to dyspep-
tic oranges, and describes the disease
and its cure. Its cause is the same as
that which so often brings on disease
in human beings--overfeeding. Excess
sive cultivation and too much nitro
genous manure affect the orange tree
just as too much heavy table d'hote
dinners affect man. Instead of look
ing pale and taking pepsin tablets, how
ever, the orange tree turns very dark
green, and a reddish brown sap eXudes
from the twigs. The tips turn up and
shape themselvc i-.nS -likc curves.
The fruit turns a lemon yellow color
before it is half ripe, and has very
thick rind. AS it ripens, the fruit splits
open and become worthless. The
reddish brown resin gets on the fruit
before it is ripe and renders it unsal-
able.-Kansas City Journal.

WHY LADIES LIKE COFFEE.
Though Many Admit It Hurts Them

Though Many Admit 1t Hurts Them.
Many ladies have so great a liking
for. coffee for breakfast that the meal
seems fat and unsavory without it;
but the muddy complexion which is al
most a sure accompaniment, - great
trial, and the question is seriously. dis
cussed many and many times over in
ones mind, whether it is possible to
give over the coffee and gradually get
back the lost complexion, or keep on
with the coffee and get on with the
bad skin and make the best of it.
The disordered stomach and liver
sometimes bring on more serious
troubles. To quit the use of coffee is
the only true relief; it contains the
same poisonous alkaloids as tobacco
strychnine and morphine, although less
in volume. One can use the delicious
hot fooddrink, Postum Cereal, at meals
and never miss the coffee. 1t browns
the deep seal-brown of Mocha and
takes on the rich golden-brown of old
Java when cream is added 1t is made
by the Postum Cereal Co. Linn of Bat
tie Creek, Michigan, purely and wholly
of the nourishing grains intended by
the Creator for mans subsistence. The
pungent taste so well liked in strong
coffee is retained in Postum.
Nature quickly RECEIVERS when coffee
is left off and the natural health coffee
is used in its place Healthful sleep is
again enjoyed and nerves, stomach.
liver, bowels and heart cease their com
planning when the disturbing cause is
withdrawn.
These are great big live facts worthy
the attention of anyone who cares for
the exquisite fun of being perfectly
well.

and after a short consultation a YER
dict for the defendant was returned.
Then the other suit brought by Mrs.
Eddins, wife Of the above mentioned
John Eddins, was called and a jury
waived and judgment entered for the
plaintiff for $500 by stipulation.
This seems a very good compromise
for the city which gets two suits for
damages aggregating $4,000 off its
hands for $500.
The suit in which John Eddins was
plaintiff was defended by Assistant
City Attorney Hampstead alone and
he did it in a very able manner, and
owing in great measure to his skillful
management of the case the verdict
IN favor of the city was returned 1t
has been remarked that the city at
torney always entrusts Mr. Hempstead
with weighty matters of this kind
with full confidence and Mr.. Hemp

COUNTY SCHOOL TAX.
Suit to Enjoin It's Collection In This
City.

City.
A suit was yesterday filed in the
district court by Powers, Straup G.
Lippman on behalf of Lydia G. Merrill
and against County Tax Collector John
D. Spencer, which has for its object
the testing of the validity of the
county school tax in so far as Salt
Lake city is concerned 1t is set out
in the complaint that a county school
tax of mills was levied for the benefit
of the district schools within and with
out Salt Lake city and within Salt
Lake county. This tax at the mill
levy would produce a total of $S7 012. 49,
of which sum 81 956.26 would come
from Salt Lake city alone and Salt
Lake city, it is alleged, would pay into
the tax fund $30,5S0 more than it would
receive back according to the number
of school children.
1t is then set forth that the board of
education controls the public schools of
the city and that a special tax is --vied
under the direction of the board for
the support of these schools and out
of its funds pays the principals, teach
ers and all other expenses incidental
to carrying on the schools. In the year
1898, it is stated, the difference be-
tween the county school tax paid by
Salt Lake City and the amount re-
ceived by the board of education was
$S4. 81; in 1894 it was $27, O97. 4S, and in
1895, $2S,6S2.45, in each case against
SAN Lake City.
The county school tax under these
circumstances is alleged to be Illegal
and then it is set out that such tax
was assessed against property of the
plaintiff in sums of $4cS, S1.SS and
$1,000 for the year 1896. that the same
thing has h6nT done in ho Of
thousands of other people in this city,
and plaintiff prays for a temporary re-
straining order to prevent the defend
ant from proceeding to collect any part
of the tax within Salt Lake City pend
ing the hearing of the suit. and that
after the hearing the temporary in
junction be made permanent9

Winter OvercOats.

$3.50 to $25-yes, even at So. The
overcoats will wear well and are stylish
cut. The Overcoats at So are in light
and dark colors. The Overcoats at $40
and s12 are of black and blue Meltons
or Kerseys, and are silk-sewed. Any
reasonable man will be satisfied with
the Overcoat we sell him-stylish cut
ting characterizes them all. All are
tailored, not simply sewed up. To be
sure, the higher the price the more
hand work is put on the garment, and
the stuffs we use are honest cloths
and honest cloths are pretty scarce in
these days of shoddy.
