The drug store which was recently ~
stalled in the new building Joining the
Copeland hotel is without permit to sell

remain so.

evidence which will probably squelch all
the hopes of the druggist who wishes to
sell liquor with some semblance of le-
gality.
Mr.. Balm had subpoenaed several wit
nesses, but they cid not all appear. Among
those who did appear were two small boys
Balm Edison and Fred Moeser. These
boys testified that they had bought beer
at Knauer's place since it was established,
in amounts ranging from two to eight
bottles. OF course Knauer denied this, but
the disntereSted testimony of the boys
will be hard for Judge Pagan to get
around. B 9TH the boys live near the place

they got it and Paid for it. When the eV-

AN EXPENSIVE TRIP
But the Air of Old England Failed Him

The brain is composed of thousands of
little cells and these contain a vital
substance which is used up during ac-
tive work and can only be replaced by
the right kind of food and drink
With many people, coffee drinking ex-
cites the brain and prevents it from
getting the necessary rest, and breaks
down and destroys the cells and the
soft gray matter therein, nor does cot
fee supply the food to replace these
cells and this naturally leads to mental
exhaustion, and nervous prostration.
Some two years ago, I was laid low
with a very severe attack of nervous
prostration. and had to resign my posi-
ton with a large mercantile house of
this city," writes a gentleman from
BROOKLYN.
The doctors said my complaint was
due to overwork, long hours and insult
ficient exercise, and recommended a trip
to Europe. More dead than alive, | fol-
lowed their advice, and went to Eng
land for a short visit, but came back
very little improved, and unable to
work, sick and disheartened.
.'On my return, my wife and I went
to boarding and a gentleman living in
the house told me CT the beneficial re-
suits he had experienced by leaving off
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee

coffee aud used Postum, drinking it

I owe my present good health to the use

PREHISTORIC MARVEL
PART OF REMAINS OF SOME PRE-
HISTORIC MONSTER WASHED
UP IN THE OVERFLOW OF APP
/. PLE CREEK

r. .fIE ~
Whilegmaking a tour of the flooded
district along Apple creek inspecting
bridges, John White, with the mem
bers of the board of county commits
%sioners, discovered part of the mum
miied remains OF. some prehistoric
serpent, which has been brought to
the city for examination by biologists
and Identification. The monster evil
IDENTIFY came from deep in the bowels
of the earth, for that portion of it
that was discovered is unlike any
form of animal life existing at the
present time. Scientists who have ex-
amined the find are in doubt as to
whether it is a relic of the tertiary
or, the %paleozoic period. Some nave
expressed the opinion that it was con-
temporaneous with the pleiosaurus
and the i~cthyosaurus, while others
hold that it is OF the pterodactyls. That
part of the animal discovered resem-
bles somewhat the horny covering of
the claw of some one of the prehis-
toric insectivora, and is about two
feet long, with a regular arrangement
of scales. Scientists at present at
work upon the restoration of the
monster from the portion discovered
believe it to have been a giant ant
eater of the period when animal life
reached the colossal, and estimate
that the total weight of the animal
must have been in the nighborhood
of twenty tons and it's total height
sixty feet. The skin is covered with a
regular arrangement Of excresences,
resembling an overgrown potato scab.
The bottom Of the claw is covered with
a series of suckers" by which the
animal was evidently enabled to crawl
up the smooth side Of ice bergs in
search of prey, and this would indi-
cate that the monster was Arctic, and
possibly coexistent with the NAM
moth. A few biologists maintain that
the discovery is the extremity of the
tentacle of some aeozoic octopus-but
there is no record of any octopus Of
such probable size unless it was some
primaeval ice trust. The relic is on
exhibition at the Tribune Office, and
archaeologists, biologists, biologists,
philologists, histologists, entomolo-
gists, icthyologists, Psychologists, BIZ
ologists, and others interested are in
vited to call and view the discovery.
No admission fee.

confession was a forgery, but the
prosecution called the defendants law

him proved it's correctness. The
stolen hides were also identified by

this the twelve jurors promptly de-
