j. \. Smith. a well-known engineer
on the Rock Island. appeared in police
court before Judge Hubbell. at Dav-
export. Yesterday to answer to the
charge Of breaking the ordinances OF
that city by running = train faster
than the law allows within the city
limits. Officer Charles tMcGee- was
the complaining witness. aud he
claimed that he had timed the en-
giueer one evening when the train
was maxim" mp time. and that the
speed was easily 80 miles an hour.
Mr.. Smith admitted that he had run
at 4 rate of 10 miles an hour. but at
tempted to show that no railroad man
could tell whether ne was running 10
miles or 30 miles an hour, and that
there was not an engineer on the road
but broke the ordinance to a greater
or less degree. The Judge considered
the evidence. ana fined Smith 81 and
costs. After consultation with an at
torney compromise was determined
upon. by which Smith paid the costs
and the iIEe was RENTED.

Highly. | am a temperance lecturer,
and ut breakfast Mrs. Highly handed
me a lovely cup of coffee with the
remark, Ibid YOU ever realize that it
is not 1T all consistent for temperance
people to continually advise others to
avoid poisonous stimulants, and vet
day by day drink such articles them
selves. This is particularly true of
coffee, which is one of the most pow
erful narcotics in existence, although
its effects are not shown as actively rs
whisky"
| was rather surprised at her re-
mark, but after thinking it over 4
moment, l realized that it was apro-
pos. l had noticed many case Of
nervous prostration that was directly
traceable to coffee for the individuals
at once began to improve when they
left off coffee. and l had found it so in
my own experience.
| had made several attempts to
break away from the habit, and had
failed, much to my disgust, and often
times. when addressing an audience
on the evils of liquor drinking. had
in my own heart felt that | was very
much like an old topper, the only diff
ference being that l wanted coffee and
he wanted liquor.
Mrs. Highly went on to say, 1--WE
have abandoned coffee entirely in our
family, and are using the Postum Ce-
real Food Coffee made down At Battle
Greek, Mich. and | think when you
drink this cup YOU will agree with me
that it is in many respects a more de-
licious beverage than ordinary coffee,
for it has n smoother, more fascinat-
ing taste, much like the very highest
grades of mild Java
| drank the cup slowly and realized
that her remarks We're true, and
want to say to you that | gained NJ
more valuable knowledge at that con-
vention in Wyoming than that which
| learned at the breakfast table where
l had my first cup of Postum. l have
since used it regularly, very greatly to
my physical and mental advantage,
and have found no difficulty whatever
in doing away with coffee. No one
can tell how glad l am to be free from
its baneful effectsa / can now make
temperance address with clear con-
science, and, perhaps. | might add
clearer complexion than formerly.
