ton Taken by Constable Beckett.
IF you strike me. will fill you full
of holes" These were the words of
Constable Beckett as he drew his re-
volver and presented it at John II. B.
Bohn. This interesting incident was
brought to light in the trial of the
claim case of NJ. Ferst's Sons & Co
against J. H. B. Bohn, defendant, and
Mrs. Bohn, claimant, in the City Court
yesterday.
Bohn, it appeared from the evidence,
was just about to depart for the old
country last December, and had all of
his effects at the wharf of the Ocean
Steamship Company, preparatory to
making the trip. Shortly before the
time for the departure of the boat
came, Constable Beckett put in his APP
pearance with a warrant of attach
ment in favor of the Savannah Grocery
Company for bill of $64.
Beckett said that Bohn had said he
was going away several days later. on
the very day that he attempted to sail.
Bohn, he said, was enraged at being
detained, and made at him with clinch-
ed fists. Then it was that he drew his
revolver and threatened to make him
the attachment, giving the constable a
500 bill. Before the officer could get
the bill changed, another attachment
put in its appearance, and before he
returned the change, which he did not
consider subject to the second attach
ment. a garnishment summons was
served on him.
And so Bohn did not take the in
tended trip to the old country. The
case tried yesterday was the attach
ment which was sued out by NJ.
Ferst's Sons & Co., Mrs. Bohn
claiming title to the property levied
on. A rather amusing feature of the
testimony was to the effect that when
Bohn went to the wharves to look af-
ter his baggage he rode a bicycle.
When he rode up, the officer imme-
diately levied on the wheel also.
The case was not concluded yester-
day, and will be resumed this morn
mig at 10 o'clock. Wilson & Rogers

ONLY A SUGGESTION,
But Ii Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be al
luminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs. beefsteak and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that make
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
it, which is the reason so many peo-
pie remain thin and under weight; the
digestive organs do not completely di-
gest the flesh forming beef steak and
eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or
inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their pre-
JUDGES aside and make a regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal one or
two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets con-
tain the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is
soon enabled to regain its natural tone
and VigOr.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every form of flesh forming food, meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is
the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspep-
tic men. women and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked bene-
fit as they contain no strong, irritat-
ing drugs, no cathartic nor any harm
full ingredient.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most widely
known of any remedy for stomach
troubles because it is the most reason
able and scientific of modern medi-
cines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as well as in Great Britain
at so cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin,
nervous dyspeptic people strong, plump
and we'll.

MENDED CHINA
Don't Do Well with Hot water.

I'VE housewives know better than
to use hot water on mended china and
common sense tells me that coffee or

fact If it were not for the stomach
troubles set up by coffee l believe
these operations would not be neces-
sary in cases out of TO-" says a lady

of Postum in place of coffee. l find it
much richer and clearer by making

Postum and then proceed as If fresh.
My husband never likes it fresh as we'll
as the second or third make over. Our
physician who recommended Postum to
us was a confirmed coffee drinker but
found that one cup of Postum salts
fled him and improved his digestion
Immediately, Another physician ac-
quaintance had a similar experience

STOCK QUOTATIONS
BY WIRELESS
on street to Omces in the sky

From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
New York, Feb. THE old system of
reporting curb stock quotations by mes
senger boy and telephone will be sup
erseded by the DefOrest wireless meth
cd. successfully tried in front of the
Broad Street Exchange to-day.
The Deforest wireless automo-
bile station consisted of a
magnificently built automobile, with
a sending station on top of it. A tall
brass rod rose ten feet from the top of
the auto. The plan is to run this auto
mobile into the center of the crowd of
curb brokers every day, and as fast as
the stocks are quoted on the street
send wireless quotations to the offices
of stock dealers and others in the sky
scraper buildings in the financial sec
ton. The offices will be fitted with
chanical printer or operator. who will
write off the quotations.
The present method consists of Office
boys. telephones and messengers, who
carry the news. Every brokerage Of
flee has a messenger who stands near
the company's man of the curb and runs
to the telephone with the quotations in
which the Office is interested. This
takes time and leg exercise.
Inc duloIHoDile StdllOn was stopped
in front of the Broad Street Exchange
and a receiver was set up in the base
ment Of the rooms of the Wall Street
Journal. AS soon as the closing stock
quotations began to be sent from the
street an operator in the building wrote
them off. The messages came through
three feet of granite steps. the wall OF
the building and several iron and glass
doors. The walls. the doors and ten
men standing between the receiving an
tennae and the sending operator made
no difference. DR.. Deforest was pres
ent and expressed himself as pleased.
This one sending station in the street
will furnish quotations for 10000 re-
ceivers in the locality, if that number
should be wanted.

The Georgia Historical Society will
hold Tomorrow night what will be,
without doubt. the most important
meeting in its history. That such inn
portance is attached to the meeting is
shown by the cards that have been
sent to every member of the organiza-
ton, urging the attendance on this &C.
casion of every member who feels an
interest in the society's future welfare
and progress"
On the result of this meeting will be
determined whether or not Savannah
is to have free library. A report on
this matter will probably be made by
SOulC representative VI Tie CITY BONSIU-
ment qualified to speak for the commit
tee that was appointed to discuss joint
ly with q similar committee from the
library the possibility and advisability
of such a plan.
At the last annual meeting President
George A. Mercer appointed a commit
tee of five gentlemen TO formulate some
plan by which the library might be en-
abled to meet its. expenses and thus
continue its existence. This committee
viii report that it has secured twenty
five men who have pledged themselves
to give 800 apiece each year for five
years, thus assuring the library an an
nual income of 81, 500 from this source,
besides such amount as may be re-
ceived from the subscription fees of its
members.
Then the proposition was made the
city that II a sum of $4,000 be con-
tributed annually to the maintenance
of the library the library feature of
the society will be made free to the
public 1t was to consider this propo-
sition that the committee was recent
ly appointed by Council. The details
of the report that this committee will
make cannot yet be ascertained but
it is expected that the offer will be
accepted.
If it be this will give the library a
certain income of $500 which will
enable it to carry on it's work 1t is
hoped that later instead of having but
rs men contribute 800 apiece 1t may
be possible TO secure 100 men who will
be called on for but $25 apiece. The
plan as formed do not contemplate
the use of the library by negroes. I'm
der the favored plan the society by
still paying a part of the income
and conducting the library would have
the right to make such a restriction
as to its use. In the event that the
city accepts the proposition there will
be no more subscribers dues.

MEN WHO KILLED
