GARLAND SUSTAINs JUDGMENT
Overrules Motion to VacRte Decision
Giving Claim Of $1,000 Against
Harden Concern.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D.. June 17.-(special
Garland of the United
States court today overruled a motion ask
ing that a judgment for 81, 900 against the
property of the Harden Mining and Manu-
featuring company In the Black Hills be
vacated.
The judgment was secured by Charles B.
Kelly on a loan to Hiram T. Gilbert Of
Chicago, president OF the company. James
d. Hardin, the principal stakeholder in the
gold mine, which is valued at $50, 900, asked
that the judgment be vacated, alleging that
Kelly and Gilbert had entered into a con-
spiracy to secure possession Of the mine
and that the 81 900 borrowed by Gilbert was
on his own personal account and not for
the mining company. Porter & King Of
this city, who represented the holder Of the
judgment, argued in substance that as the
judgment was entered and taken during the
September, 1901. term OF federal court. 1t
could not be set aside or modified during a
subsequent term. While Judge Garland
decided the judgment should stand, the
merits OF the case will have to be de-
termined at a future hearing.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE republican
members of the senate committee on Cuban
relations today finally agreed to accept the
Spooner bill, providing for reciprocity with
Cuba, and decided to ask that a conference
Of republican senators be called for to-
morrow night to consider its terms.
This conclusion was reached at a meet
ing Of the republican members Of the com
mittee today. After the MEETING adjourned
the text of the bill was made public. It is
a substitute for the house bill and is as
follows!
When the republic of Cuba shall have
enacted a law or laws establishing prefer
entail rates of customs duties on any or all
articles, the growth, production or manu-
Cuba, which preferential rates shall. in
the opinion of the president of the United
States, constitute a satisfactory equivalent
for the reduction hereinafter provided in
the rate of customs duties upon articles the
growth, production or manufacture OF
he shall SO declare fby p~roeiamation
thereupon and thereafter, so long as such
preferential duties shall be continued by the
ever, than five years, the duties levied,
paid and collected upon such articles so

Gifted in the act entitled An act to pro-
vide revenue for the government and TO
encourage the industries of the United

amendment thereof.
Provided, however, that IT. shall be the
duty of the president to thoroughly in
vestigate. through the diplomatic and con-
sular representatives of the United States
in Cuba, and by such other means as he
may deem necessary to employ for the
purpose, whether the tariff concession
hereinbefore provided upon articles, the
growth, production or manufacture Of Cuba
substantially inures, so far as the articles
of sugar and tobacco are concerned, to the
benefit of the producers of said articles in
Cuba; and If the president shall be satisfied
from such investigation that the substan-
tial benefit of said concession upon either
of said articles is inuring to the purchas-
ers thereof, individual or corporate, in the
United States ii shall be his duty to so de-
clare by proclamation to that effect, and
thereupon and thereafter, SO long as said
conditions shall continue, there shall be
levied and collected upon such articles OF

The state committee will renew only half
its membership this year for the odd-num-

two years, Chairman Lindsay will doubt
less be retained in his present position II
he will consent to perform its duties for
another campaign. A new secretary, how

SECRETLY AND QUIETLY.
Coffee Slowly and Steadily P~OisOns
Some Persons.

There is no doubt that coffee secretly
and quietly causes an immense amount Of
misery to the human race. but in the ma
1oTity Of cases the person does not sus-
pect the cause OF the trouble.
A Virginia lady had an interesting ex-
pertinent with coffee poison. She says,
For about FIVE years l was troubled with
indigestion, weak stomach, and palpita-
ton of the heart so bad that at times I
would fall and have to be carried into the
house. Finally l began to have spasms
and suffered untold misery. l tried all
kinds Of patent medicines and different
doctors, only to get temporary relief.
1 finally gave up all hope OF getting we'll.
My stomach was in such condition that
everything but stale bread would throw
me into spasms. l nearly starved myself
but never suspected that coffee was the
cause OF all the trouble, nor did l have
any idea what the cause was.
One day Father told me he had been
reading how Postum Food Coffee helped
so many people who were sick from coffee
drinking and he urged me to leave of
coffee and try Postum. l said. Oh. Father,
cannot try It and do not believe It would
do me any good but he persuaded me to
try a package,
The first making tasted so fat that 1t
made me half sick but I determined to
give it a fair trial so l read the directions
carefully and found it must be boiled at
least fifteen minutes. Well, l boiled II q
minutes then added some good cream and
/ tell you It was delicious. l like it better
than the ordinary coffee and of course stick
to il.
Well, / have been using 1t since the 18th
OF July now. quite two months. l hav'
gained about 25 pounds. / gained siI
pounds in IS weeks and can eat anything
| want and all that l want. My stomach
never hurts me-. l have gained strength
until now l can do my own work and go L
church every Sunday.
People say, You are looking so we'll
what kin Of medicine are you taking?'
tell them l have quit all kinds Of medicin'
and also conee and am only using Postum
Coffee.
You may be sure I will recommend !
and will guarantee a cure where the per
son will boil II long enough and drinI
enough Of II. / would do without a mea

Mayor of Minneapolis Indicted.

Another sensation developed when 1t be-
came known that Albert A. Ames, mayor
Of Minneapolis, had been indicted by the

is that the mayor endeavored to have his
secretary, Thomas r. Brown, appointed
sheriff by the county commissioners. when
1t became evident that Philip Megaarden

governor for misfeasance.
In attempting to carry out this plan he
Is alleged to have offered to so arrange
matters that the $4,000 annual income Of
the sheTiff's office should be divided. equally
between Brown and the three county com
mfssioners who were to vote for linn, form
ing a majority OF the board. The evidence
to this effect was given before the grand
jury by County Commissioners NJ. w. Nash
and Ed Sweet.
DR.. Ames has been four times mayor OF
Minneapolis, having been elected thrice as
a democrat and again in November, 1900,
