It touches
The Spot!

When a person gets up IN the morn
ing there is always a longing for
something inwardly. Some men go
oat and get an "eye-opener," while
others wait for cup of Coffee at
breakfast. II the Coffee happens to
be bad. the man starts in his days
work feeling mean toward every
thing and everybody. Don't blame
the man for il. Blame the Coffee.
The peculiar goodness Of Blanke's
Coffee lies in the fact that 1t IS pure

is roasted by people who know how
to roast il just exactly right. When
n cup or two is taken in the morn

Charged Win Cattle sfeaIssz.

Deputy Sheriff L. A. Embree pass
ed down the Wabash last Friday with
David Barnhart and Jesse Mckee,
both of whom he had arrested up
about Sumner on capiases issued from
the circuit court at Salisbury, charging
itdrs with gsand larceny. Barnhart
and Mckee are young men and were
indicted by the grand jury last week
for stealing eight head of cattle from
I. N. Longs pasture, near Sumner.
on the night of tie 18th of November,
1896. and which they drove to Forker,
a small station on the c. b. & X. c.
railway, some seven or eight miles dis
tant from Sumner.
There are conflicting reports about
the disappearance Of Mr.. Longs cat
tie. Barnhart and Mckee claim that
J. ID. Smith hired them to drive the
cattle from Mr.. Longs premises to
Forker, and that Smith tolG them he
had bought the cattle from Mr. Long.
On the other hand, Smith asserts
that he bought the cattle from the two
young men for NJ. L. Bushnell, for
whom he (Smith) was engaged in buy
ing live stock. and that Barnhart and
Mckee had agreed to make the de
livery at Forker.
IL seems that Blrnhart and Mckee
did not get to forker at the time ap-
poiUted, and being several hours late,
Mr.. Smith was not there TO receive
The cattle. and Barnhart and Mckee
turned them into the stock pens at
FoSker, where they were soon after
wards located, taken charge of by
their proper owner, aud driven back
home.
In order that mo guilty man might
escape" the grand jury also returned
an indictment against Smith in con-
neciion with the stealing Of Mr.. Longs
cattle
All three of the defendants gave
bond in the sum of $500 each for their
appearance for trial at the next July
term of the Salisbury circuit court
Upon the application Of Smith, he was
granted a severance, and his case will
be tried separate and apart from the
trial of Barnhart and Mckee.
Smith, Mckee and Barnhart are
all respectfully cooaecied, and Nc
KEGS father, William Mckee, is a
wealthy farme-, and says that If his
son is guilty of any wroug-do;ng that
there was no pecesSity for his having
done wrong, as he has tried hard TO
raise him right and has always pro-
vided for him as father should.

GrMEy AND CONCERT H4LL.
Sinuot and Abe Gruber before the Mayor
Again Asking for That License.

Thomas p. sinnott made another application
yesterday to Mayor Strong for n concert hall
license for the sixth floor OF the building ut 500
Columbus avenue. He was represented by
Abraham Gruber. and the granting OF tho
license was opposed by twenty-five citizens OF
the upper west side. among whom were the
Rev. Edward A. Bradley, pastor OF st. Agnes's
Chapel in West Ninety-second street: the Rev,
John Falcon shaw. pastor OF the West End
Presbyterian Church, Prof. Hnrlbur', and
Frank kunzmann. Slnnott had made several APP
plicattons for n concert hall license for his place,
but the residents OF the nelghborhood protested
DO strongly that IL was never granted. Last sum-
Iner. however. the Mayor gave him n limited
license for three months. Mr.. Sinno,t wants a
full license. DR.. Bradley said 1t would be un-
safe TO put a concert hall on the siXlh floor OF
the building. He declared that while the con-
cert hail was running last summer IL attracted
to the nciRhborhood a very undesirable class Of
young men and women. some OF whom Rppar-
entity belonged In the Tendcrloin. There were
several other speeches against granting the
license. after which the Mayor adjourned the
hearing for a week.
