letters were on file at the company's of flee. MT. Rich came from Cleveland, Ohio to my residence on the South Highlands and brought S25,000 in cash anu paid 1t over to me. I had sent him the stock certificates transferred to him several days before. H1 had the money in large bills in an envelope in his pocket. I kept it at my house that night and put 1t in the safe newt day.
 I had sent 1004 shares of stock to Mr. Rich. l had nothing to show for it for a desk. There was no entry the com pany's books. This $25.100 was not de- posted In any bank to the credit of the company. The money staid in our vault from April to December, 1901 We kept bank accounts at the time. This money could have been put out at interest in a savings bank.
 These items regarding tbls sale should have appeared on the cash book and ledger, but I don't remember giving any order to this effect. These are the two destroyed books.
 The sale to Mr. Rich was on condition that if we could not put him in possession of the plant we would resind the sale and return the money to him. We returned in December to him the identical bills which he had paid us and took his notes
  notes were signed in December, but were dated in April and bore 4 per cent from that date.
 One of the considerations which in- duced him to sign these notes bearing in- Nrest was that we were not obliged to give him back his money at that time. We took no security for the notes and he still retains the stock in the Joliet Com pany The books show entries of two Qt1r which In thiG S9S 10O showed that a sum was on deposit in the First National Bank of Norton.

As a matter of fact the money was not in either one of these banks. These entries were in the petty cash book before Sep tember l. 1901. and this book was burned up.

 All day yesterday Chief Austin was called to the telephone by ladies want ing to know where Mrs. Pope lived, in order that they could send her something.
 The case is ono of the most pitiable that has come to the notice of the police department. Mrs. Pope's husband was an engineer or the Southern Railway but became infatuated with another woman and cloped with her to Califor- mia. Mrs. Pope has heard nothing of him since his departure.
 The oldest daughter worked for while in one of the factories near Birmingham and did what she could to support the family, but she was finally forced to give up her place in order to nurse the 7-months' -old baby, the invalid mother not being strong enough to give the child necessary attention.
 Any further contributions in money or provisions will be received by the chief of police and sent to Mrs. Pope Medicine is needed more than anything else.

TURNED OUT TRUE. Coffee Drinking Responsible.

"At dinner party a number of years ago a physician made this statement.
 Coffee drinking is responsible for more ills than any other one thing, but it is impossible for me to make my patients believe it.
 Neither would I believe him, but con. tinued to drink my coffee with sweet content. After time I became aware of the fact that I was frequently lying 1 awake nearly all night without any ap- | parent reason, and the morning found me | tired out and nervous.
 l The insomnia increased, then came a | dull pain at the base of the brain and severe pressure at my heart. My out side work was given up, for could hard ly bear the Slittle fatigue of the day. | Nervous prostration brought on by over work the doctor said. I thought of the words of old Dr. Bagey, Coffee Is the poison that is responsible,' etc., etc. I had heard of Postum Food Coffee and determined to try 1t. The first cup was so weak and flat that 1t was not
 fit to drink. The next time it was pre- pared I looked altar It myself to see that the directions were followed properly The result was revelation; l found 1t a delicious beverage.
 The cure was not wrought in day, but little by little my nerves became strong, the pain ceased, and again l could sleep like a tired child.
 I am now completely restored to health by Postum Food Coffee used in place of ordinary coffee, have regained the fresh complexion of girlhood. and can realize the truth of the old doctors statement wish people could understand that truth before they permit coffee to break them down.
 l have known of several others who have been restored to health by leaving off coffee and taking up Postum Food Coffee. Please do not publish my name, but am willing to answer letters of in- duiry if stamp Is inclosed." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Cxeek, Mich.

He had put the books under the furnaces at the boilers. On January IS he made demand of MT.

As to the construction books, Schuler said they were preliminary to the operation of the company, and were only temporary.
 Referring to the letter copy book No. 6 he said thirty-nine pages had been left out in re-copying it.
