GRAND. JURY'S REPORT.
REFER ENGESH TO SALOONS NOT
CL0SFNtsi AT MIDNIGHT.

REFER ENCEsSN TO SALOONS NOT
CL0sFN(fi AT MIDNIGHT
While sensational disclosures and roasts
were predicted by some of the newspapers,
yet the report Of. the January grand jury
filed with Judge Kelly yesterday after,
noon, is in the main a tame document
and contains little beyond the usual ut
teranceS and admonit .ons haracteristic of
such bodies - u
With one exception the report deals al
most exclusively with the midnight saloon
closing hour, the members of the jury ex-
ercising their prerogatfye in making pub
lie the failure of some saloons to obey the
law and demanding of the police commits
sion and the police a strict enforcement
of the city ordinances dealing with this
question. In connection with this sub
jeet the report says:
During the January session of the jury
the chief of police appeared before US and
was informed of our desires in the matter
the prompt closing of all saloons at the
lawful hour. Investigation since that
time leads us to believe that many sa-
looms in the downtown district are run
practically wide open for several hours
after midnight, and in some instances I'M
til daylight.
These violations, the members think
tend to bring those who do obey the law
into disrepute and compel many of them
TO Violate laws that they would otherwise
respect. AS the majority of crimes occur
between the hours of midnight and day
light the members give it as their opin-
ion that those concerned are brought to
such by the contamination received from
resorts which remain open during these
hours
The one other matter touched on is in
relation ito the escape Of prisoner from
the city hospital some weeks ago. On
this the report says.
I'm the investigation of the matter of
the escape of prisoner from the city
and county hospital, we have carefully
questioned the sheriff and others regard
Ing this transaction, and believe that no
fault can be found with the officials in
charge. The prisoner being very Ill in the
county jail, was ordered to the hospital,
and some days later. he escaped before
daylight in his night clothes. Precautions
have been taken to prevent a like occur
renee in the future

The Doctors Wife Found Her Conn
DIexion Again.
Coffee is no respecter OF persons when
it comes to the poisonous effects thereof
A prominent physicians wife of Month
cello, Ind, says that coffee treated her
very badly indeed, giving her serious
and painful stomach trouble, and
wretched muddy complexion.
Her husband is a physician of the reg
.ular school, and opposed to both tea
ssand. coffee, SO he induced her to leave
them off and take on Postum Feod Cof-
fee. 4Ta
The stomach trouble disappeared al
most like magic, and gradually her COM
plexion cleared up; now she, is in ex-
cellent condition throughout.
:. There are thousands of highly organ
lied people who are made sick in. va
riety of different ways by the use Of
coffee, and most of these people do not
suspect the cause of their trouble. They
think that others can drink coffee and
are well, and they can, but about one
person out OF every three is more or less
poisoned by coffee, and this can be prov
ed by leaving off coffee and taking Pos
tum Food Coffee nfn nearly every case
the disorder Will be greatly relieved or
entirely disappear. cit is easy enough to
make a trial and see whether coffee is a
poison to you or not.

NSpLEASED Mr.. D0RR.
PUBLICATION OF THE NEWS ABOUT
HIS LEASE

Mr.. w r. Dorr,- former secretary and
treasurer of the Horne & DanZ company,
but at present an officer Of the new
American can trust, was displeased yes
terday at the publicity which tf1o
Glob gave to the fact that the city
had not been consulted in the matter
of it's right to certain property on the
West side, which had been leased to the
company. Said Mr.. Dorr:
THE article this morning concerning
the sale of the Horne &c DAM company's
plant to the American Can company is
both misleading and untrue. as We'll as
most inorportune, when viewed in the
light of the interests of the city. The
factories of The Horne & Danz company
We're never located on city ground, but
on ground owned by the company ana
duly transferred to The American Can
company by terms of sale
In 1850 the city granted The Horne 4
narz company the right to erect build
ing on the levee for manufacturing and
warehouse purposes, which has ever
since been used to accommodate the
ever increasing business of the company.
have never questioned the fact that the
value of this plant to the city was such
that the lease could run Indefinitely.
Nov, just one word to those who de-
sire to injure the business of the City
and interfere with the growth OF manu=
featuring industries. The American Can
company considers this one Of its best
plants. It's intention has been to throw
considerable business to this plant which
has heretofore been handled further
south. They have, however, eighty
plants besides this one, and they are
just now engaged in apportioning the
work of the country to the different
plants. Only 10 per cent Of the output
of this plant is local business, and If
people like the writer of the article re-
ferred to do not want this plant operat-
ed, they can do little more work like
this, and will see that it is referred to
the proper parties, and the work of this
plant will be transferred to other dis
tricts. The lot referred to is worth, per-
haps $500, and the American Can COM
pany will go right on doing business
even If the city cancels the lease
Il have been using my best efforts to
have this plant enlarged and made one
of the most important Of the company's
branches, but if the city council and
your friend who writes, do not approve
CT this course, they can easily get pos
session of the warehouse building, and
sec the plant boarded up like the Rerris-
ford building
It is not known whether Mr. DORIS
threat will appeal to the city authorities
or not.
It has been a matter of comment that
ST. Paul has never before been treated
considerably when any of it's institu-
tons have been swallowed up by
combine. It was said at the time of the
absorption that the Berrisford Biscuit
plant would be conducted as usual but
it stands idle to this day. The South St
Paul distillery is another example % a
plant that would improve under trust
management, but it hasn't Now Mr..
Dorr threatens to close up another In
stitution because it was stated that the
city was not consulted in the matter of
a transfer in which 1T was interested

ANYTHING
FINDS NO WRONG IN HER
Trial of Famous saloon smasher at
Park Avenue Church Creates
No End of Mer-

Tried by jury of her peers, Mrs Car
RE Nation, the Kansas hatchet wielder
was last night acquitted of any and ali
malicious intentions toward saloons
saloon furnishings and saloonkeepers
and left the prisoners dock a free
woman
Mrs Nation was tried in the Park Con-
gregationai church and the improvis,ed
court room was crowded with the SYM
pathizers and deriders. j. w L. Corning
sat on the bench. Theodore w. Griggs
IN makeup that suggested one of the
Rogers brothers of Central park, was
clerk OF court, and HeAry E. Smith
served as sheriff The prisoner was de-
Tended by Franklin H Griggs, assisted
by Charles w Somerby, assistant al
torney general of the state. Morton Bar
rows was prosecuting attorney. Except
Tor brief historical spells the prisoner
betrayed no concern sitting for the most
Part quietly in her chair chewing gum
and ogling the jury. The matter of Sc
1actlng jury took but little time and
the following twelve men and true de-
clded the question of Mrs. Nations in
nocense: George L. Wilson, Clarence
Johnston, Mai. Lord, II. L. Jewett. Mr.
Walker, r. A. I.anpher, William Foulke,
r. FL. Goodrich, William Ruff, w. H.
Howard and G. q. Lawrence and w. G.

A Spectacular witness for the prose-
cutlon was F.. H. Davidson, who adj
m1tted that he was a Saloonkeeper from
Kansas. Mr. Davidson was swathed in
kandageS and walked with the assistance
of two crutchcs a cane and most of the
court. Mr.. Nation was also a strong
witness for the prosecution, admitting
that he married the energetic Carrie only
that he might escape from the lunatic
asylum in which he had been an inmate
for It number of years.
The plan of the defense was to show
that Mrs. Nation, when young had be-
come mixed up in a dog fight, biting one
OF the dogs. Dr. Alexander McGregor,
expert physician was called to prove
that the result Of such bite to the one
infiicting it would be just the reverse Of
hydrophobia, namely that instead Of
having an aversion to water, the bitter
would have deep aversion to spirits
w. B. Geery policeman, testified TO be-
ing present in the saloon when the
smashing took place The defense
proved triumphantly that On that par
ticular evening" Mr.. Geery was due to
pass along his beat SO his testimony
was stricken out. To save time the at
torHey for the~aefenSe and the attorney
