ILLINOIS CENTRAL

PRESIDENT OF THE ROAD SAYS HE IS NEITHER IN THE ROCK ISLAND, FRISCO NOR ANY COM BINATIoN-WoRKING ALONE.

Omaha, Neb., August 2.-Presdent Fish of the Illionois Central company, ac- compauied by his two sons and two other officials of that road arrived here this afternoon on lis way to Colorado on T pleasure trip.
 President Fish had few things to say about the Rock Island deal but denied in strong terms that hls road was in any way connected with it
 You nay say that the Illinois Cen tral is not in any way connected or af- fliated with the deal of the Rock Is- land and the Frisco" said he. For that matter, we are not in the amalgamation business and bavs no connection what ever with this or any other such trans action. We are not seeking q combin- ation with other railroads and not form ing any sort of security company. You may make that just as broad as you please, for it is a fact that the Illinois Central is absolutely divorced from this Frisco deal and all ether deals of that kind We are devoting ourselves assidious- ly to the management of our own little road"

SWEET BREATH
When Coffee Is Left Of.

A test was made to find if just the leav- ing off of coffee alone would produce an equal condition of health as when coffee is left off and Postum Food Coffee used in Its place.
 A man from Clinton. Wis. made the experiment He says: About a year ago l left off drinking coffee and tea and began to use Postum. For several years previous my system had been in wretched condition. l always had thickly furred bilious tongue and foul breath, often &C., companied with severe headaches. I was troubled all the time with chronic con- stipation, so that l was morose in dis position and almost discouraged.
 At the end of the first week after mak- ing the change from coffee to Postum I witnessed a marvellous change in myself. My once coated tongue cleared off. my appetite increased, breath became sweet thing I wish to state emphatically, you have in Postum a virgin remedy for con stipation, for I certainly had about the and I am completely cured of It. I feel in every way like new person.
 During the last summer l concluded that I would experiment to see if tho Postum kept me in good shape or wfeth- CT l had gotten well from just leaving off coffee. So quit Postum for quite a time and drank cocoa and water. found out before two weeks were past that something was wrong and I began to get costive as of old. It was evident the liver was not working properly, so l became convinced it was not the avoid- ance of coffee alone that cured me, but the great value came from the regular use of Pcsturn."

 s. l.. Weaver, one of the attorneys for Parrish in asking the postponement of the hearing, said: Some peculiar cir cumstances have attended this case since the defendant was arrested, and we have never been able to see the father and the brothers of the accused togeth- CT until just a few minutes ago, and I say to your honors, that feeling as I do the responsibility of this case, I think it would be doing us an injustice to go into the trial of it at this time. But at the same time, we are anxious for some early date and allow us to so thoroughly prepare ourselves as to be able to have a thorough understanding as to our line of defense. Up to this time, we have had no time to do this. The defendant AAe~7 bSSA A'NAASN hP iAA JeeiA eAAN IiASAS A' another sorrow in the family that has nearly rent the old mans heart. He is here just from a new made grave, and it seems to me that the time is in- opportune for a trial today. The de- fendant is unprepared to enter into this investigation now, but he desires an in- vestigation as early as possible
 After consulting a few minutes with the states witnesses, Solicitor Hefiir stated that while the state was ready for trial yet if counsel for defendant sc requested. he would be willing for the case to go over until Monday.
 The Rev. l.. F. Parrish, father of the defendant, and his brothers, the Rev. West Parrish of Leeds, the Rev. Sam uel Parrish of Anniston and the Rev. Fletcher Parrish of Fort Payne were all present in the court room yesterday morning.
 Hollis Parrish, the defendant, appear ed to be in good spirits, and was con tinually in conversation with his father and brothers, who sat around him in the court room. He will be defended by s. l.. Weaver and John Shugart, and 1t is said that additional counsel will be call ed in to assist in the defense next week.

 "As far as am concerned, and as far as my campaign committee Is concerned. WIG are heartily in favor of this. I would be glad if the executive committee of the county would instruct Governor Jelks and former Governor Johnston to appoint che manager each at every polling place. We are determined that there shall be no cry of fraud so far as Jefferson coun- ty Is concerned and it seems to me that If each candidate for governor would appoint their respective managers, allow ing the committee to take care of the third, that there would he no possible excuse for a charge of unfairress'

the first count that all the money was in
the vaults, when as matter of fact
$40, 900 of the state funds were in the
hands of the Jackson banks by the gov
ernor's orders.
"He contends that the only difference
between the loans upon the governors
orders and those made to Memphis par
ties was that the latter were secured by
street car bonds, worth many times the
amount of the loan, while the former
were let out without any security what
ever.
Rush argues that Longino, being ex
offcio the head of the treasury, is guilty
under the law of the loan of the funds
to the Jackson banks, but that Rush and
Armistead do not come within the pur-
view of the statute, because they are
outsiders and had no official connection
whatever with the treasury Their only
connection with it. he claims, was to
find a borrower for Raiford. These
points are brought out IN most detailed
form, and the conclusions are deduced
IN most elaborate fashion. There are
many minor points upon which we dc
not care to touch at this time.
I'VE only desire to state that the &C
cusatiens against Governor Longina are
of such grave character and advanced
with so much force that he cannot at
