THE BEEF TRUST
 WAS ENDOWED

Chicago, February 1S.-The so-called 'beef trust" case was disposed of to- day by Judge Grosscup in the United States circuit court, the demurrer of the packers being overruled and a tem- porary injunction granted. Attorneys for the packers made no announcement of their future intentions. They have until March to discuss the matter with their principals.
 If they deny facts upon which Judge GrCsscup based his decision, the mat ter might go before a master in chan cery who will hear the evidence, and the case will then be argued again before Judge Grosscup. An appeal may be taken in order to hasten the final adjudication of the case. 1t is not believed likely that the packers Will let the matter go by default. thus making the Injunction permanent.

a lively debate in the senate today over Senator Quay's resolution declar- ing it to be the sense of the senate that there should be Q vote on the statehood bill before the adjournment of congress. MT. Spooner opposed the resolution saying that it would prac- tically put clotUre upon those who happen to be conscientiously opposed to the omnibus statehood bill.
 Senator Teller of Colorado agreed with MT. Spooner and believed in maintaining a free discussion.
 MT Cockrell. Missouri, coincided in that view.
 MT. Platt of Connecticut said he did not believe in absolute untrammeled debate when it reaches the point of ob- struction.
 MT. Lodge O; Massachusetts said that the majority in the senate always gets vote when it is a real majority, which must be something more than numerical. He said that majorities of the majority party are entitled to con- trol legislation.
 MT. McComas of Maryland offered a substitute for the resolution which was copy of the amendment to the rules Of the senate offered by MT. Platt of Connecticut, some time ago and pro- vided fer a limited cloture MT. Mason of Illinois said the min crlty is. great part of the senate which is the only body where minori- ty stops legislation.
 MT Carmach of Tennessee said that where debates are carried on purely for the purpose of obstruction they ars likely to lead to a cloture rule which will defeat legitimate debate. 1 No ac ton was taken on the resolu- ticn or substitute, although a motion had been made to refer the matter tc the committee on rules
 At 1:45 the senate went into execu-
 tive session and at 5:2O D. m. adjourn ed until Il o'clock tomorrow.

FRIENDLY WINDS.

Salt Lake, Utah, February 1S.-The heavy winds which have swept the ranges of Utah, Nevada, Idaho and western Wyoming for the past few days and still continue, are proving the sal vation to stock, although disastrous to the railroads. The gales have torn the deep covering of snow from the scanty herbage of the ranges for hun dreds of miles, and fears of further stock losses are quieted. Rapidly rising temperatures are reported from all over the intermountain region, with snow disappearing fast under warm winds.

A CORKER
But Not Much of q Pastor.

There was an old clergyman in Cen tral New York State some years ago who was q verypowerful speaker but whose private life was by no means exemplary. Some of the more out spoken of his parishoners were in the habit of remonstrating with f1fm regu- larly about this and his reply invari- ably was Don't do as I do, do as l tell you to do."
 It is so with great many physi cians. There are hundreds of medical men who fully understand the folly of drinking coffee and tea, who tell their patients not to drink either. yet who use one or the other themselves. But sometimes it knocks even the doc tor out and he has to quit Old King Coffee. A physician of Wasioia. Minn. says: "I was q liberal user of coffee from my youth and my health broke down while at college in 1880, at 25 years of age. but l continued to use coffee until 1898 although 1 was ner- vous and suffered constantly from a condition known as diabetes insipidus. d condition that is well known to be due to nervousness. My weight was below par and no diet or tonic medi- cires were sufficient to restore my vii tality and strength.
 In 1898 I became suspicious of coffee and l broke off the habit by taking up Postum. Since that time my nerves have become strong and well and my weight has increased about 30 hounds. Well boiled it is a delicious. healthful drink, heavy with strength and muscle making qualities" Name furnished by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Even if your physician does drink coffee, you had better do as he tells you to do. Give Postum q trial. That's the easy way to shake off coffee and get well and keep well.

SENATORIAL EXPRESSIONS.
Which MT. Quay Designed to Call
 Out.

Washington, February 1S.-(Special) The morning hour of the senate was spent in the debate of MT. Quay's reso- lutiCn for a vote be:ore March on the omnibus statehood bill. Notice had been given of this resolution before Mir. Quay had decided that it would be necessary to make the statehood meas ure an amendment to one of the appro- priation bills. After that it was re- solved to use it as a test of the senti- ment of the senate regarding the appli- cation of a cloturc rule There were expressions from q dozen senators, democratic and republican, and all of them but one were against the rule. The only senator who favored the prin- ciple was Senator Platt of Connecticut though he is a bitter opponent of the statehood measure. On the other hand Senator Teller, a supporter of the om- nibus bill, and Senator C0ckrelI oppos- ed the introduction O. cloture into the senate.
 MT. Lodge hitherto clamorer for freedom from obstruction, spoke against the resolution which he be- 1eved was not admissible in the pres ent exigency- Though no action was taken on the resolution there is no probability of its adoption Senator Quay took no part in the debate be- yond the calling up of the resolution. Some of the southern senators express cd regret at the obstructive tactics of the minority against the statehood bill which they said might lead to the adoption of cIoture
 Mir Quay was not disappointed nor surprised by the tone of the arguments. The resolution was introduced rather Tor the purpose of bringing out the sen uments of the opponents of the state hood bill and without any expectation Of it's adoption The speeches made to- day will be embarrassing to the repub- Hcan senators in the future when q democratic minority opposes an ad- ministration measure with the pertin- aclty with which the same gentlemen are standing in the way of the omni- bus bill

low the record of 1897, the seriousness
os the situation is increased by the con-
unuance of rainy weather which is soft

that the local line of embankments will
stand the strain imposed On them. Fly

points during the night on reports which
reached the engineers of weakening spots
but they We're in every instance found
to be exaggerated. Both banks of the

to prevent the cutting of levees.
Rumors of a break in the levee at
Arlington are untrue. Governor card was
in communication at noon with the forces
in charge of the work there.
They reported that the levee was be-
ing heavily sacked and that there was
hope OF holding ii.
