AMUSEME NTS.

The previous two weeks OF light
opera mt the New Grand. did not ap-
pease the desire for that kind of amuse-
ment, as evidenced by the big turnout
that greeted the opening performance
of Il weeks engagement. by the Jules
Grau Opera company, at that house
last evening. and while the Mascotte
was recently done here by the local
opera company, 1t seemed to lose none
of its old time popularity and went
with snap from start to finish. The
Grau Opera company is certainly II
decided improvement over the Calhoun
company. The people are capable and
well trained and just the kind OF an
aggregation to make light opera what
1t should be. From the opening chorus
last night, the company found great
favor with the audience. and q more
appreciative gathering would be hard
to find. There We're no disappoint-
ments. Each of the principals. as they
appeared, received the approving APP
plause 80 much coveted by actors, and
We're put at ease at once by the hearty
reception. 1t Is n pleasing thing for

FRENCH HYPN0TISM.
The Doctor Advises Patients Re-
garding the u Sc OF Coffee.

In Paris one OF the most interesting
sights of the clinique of Dr. Berillon
on the Rue St-Andre- des-Arts, where
hypnotism is very largely employed in
the cure oigarious diseases. Some of
the cures smack of the miraculous
and the ordinary observer can COM
prehend nothing Of the why and
wherefore.
1t is noticeable. however, that the
doctor instructs his patients to leave
on coffee entirely" and to some who
have had experience with the drug,
the cures.
1t is not generally understood, by
non-professional people, how many
curious disorders have their rise in
coffee drinking. Kidney troubles,
constipation, heart disturbances, pains
that are liable to attack any part. and
long list of bodily ails come from
coffee, and the following is something
of the pathological reason:
Certain alkaloids In coffee ore direct
ly poisonous to many human systems:
the heart Is made to unnaturally In
crease its beats, the action of the IL
gestive machinery Is partially stopped,
and a narcotic and poisonous effect Is
produced on the entire nervous system.
Some like the effect for time like a
morphine eater but II persisted in
even to the extent of one cup day. a
sure and unavoidable penalty Is to
pay.
Some one or more of the vital or
gans are likely to become diseased
and broken down, Ill health and tho
horrors OF invalidlsm Is the result. IL
Is easy to say nonsense, when the
truth is told about ones favorite drug.
but the hard facts of III health come
just the same IL we persist in mis-
using our bodies with unnatural food
or drink. Coffee topers can easily shift
to Postum Food Coffee II they really
care for the exquisite fun OF being
perfectly WELL" for Postum, when
thoroughly boiled to extract the food
value and delicious taste, is d most
charming beverage.

PROVO, UTAH,
FEB, i5. 1895.


In March, 1898, Emanuel Knodel came
to Provo In an idigent and helpless
condition; he was about 30 years of
age, and as he apparently did not know
enough to take care of himself he was
given a home in the county jail. He
soon proved to be useful as a cook
around the county Jail and general man
of utility. and with the exception of one
or two unsuccessful trips he has taken
with the intention to return to his
home In Germany, he has lived at the
county jail till about a month ago when
he became so seriously affected with
dropsy that the county selectmen con-
sidered II best to send him to the

THE HoAGLAND CASE.
Question as to the validity of the Marriage
to be DecIdcd by Judge lilies.


The trial of the suit for mainten-
ancc, brought by Maggie Hoagland
against Frank Hoagland is still occu-
plying Judge Hiles's attention. After
the News" report closed yesterday
afternoon, the defendant was called to
the stand. He said that he was mar
ried to the plaintiff on July 1.1sS1, and
that about month afterwards he
found 1t necessary on account of busl-
ness to move from Buena Vista to Dill
Ion. Mont, and his wife refused to
accompany him, givelng as reason
that she would not go further west
than Colorado. that she intended going
TO Leadville for while, and from
there back to n relative who was said
TO be wealthy. Witness was n black
smith, and came to Salt Lake, from
where he went to Park City and en-
gagged In mining for n while there,
and also In other camps In this State.
He was now engaged in the second
hand business. this city.
Witness then moved around to va
rlous places. and was residing In Sill
verton. Colo, when she applied for the
divorce. He resided at Sllverton for
tve years. and then went to Durango
Colo. Saw the plaintiff on
the streets quite frequently, but did
no cohabit with her She started suit
against him at Durango for alimony.
Her attorney came to see the witness
about settling the case, and witness
told him he had a divorce, but would
pay 5000 to settle the matter, because
he preferred that the plaintiff should
have the money rather than the law
yers. He heard no more about 1t, and
never paid anything.
Plaintiff started another suit against
witness at Leadville, which never came
TO trial. The summons and complaint
IN this case was served on witness in
Salt Lake. In 1894.
