1t was in 1891 that Coffee John
made his first appearance in Spokane.
Before going there he had known
every bunko man of consequence in

John disappeared and for three years
one of the chief attractions of lower
Howard street was missing He had
gone to Montana. Two years ago he
came back and sts~ted in his old bust
ness, but disease and dissipation had
got such hold on him that he soon
applied to the police and was sent to
the county farm at Spangle.
The police always looked mon "Cof-

able information 10 impart. brt if he
ever gave the police q tip it is not on

when many a noted crook entered
Spokane but he never choose to go

that it was glass. and the story is
told that when hard IN he used to

When Frank Munsey took hold OF

well posted in newspaper affairs in
this city wondered how long he would
keep up the fight against big odds
and sacrifice good money to keep a
losing paper above water. Before he
took charge of the paper Mr.. Munsey
was quite confident that he would be
able to bring the paper upon a paying
basis, but he soon discovered that his
task was practically hopeless. His re-
cent announcement that he would sell
out the paper before May / caused
no surprise among those acquainted
with the circumstances. Everybody
expected that Mr.. Munsey would be
only to glad to sell ont long before
this, but what puzzles the knowing
ones is. how he expects to dispose of
the plant It is not probable that any
body will be reckless enough to buy
the paper, and = IS the general 00in-
ion that at the expiration Of the

On the ArchbIshop.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is known among his friends as especially partial to two things-children and jokes As bishop of London, he won no little of his great influence in the slum districts because of his immense popularity with the small citizens whom he so truly loved. and as for the jokes one need but to hear the famous prelate tell one upon himself to realize how keen Is his sense of and zest for humor, says The New York Times.
 Not long before his translation he was one day walking to the suburbs of the English capital when he chanced upon a little girl who was standing looking up somewhat wistfully at a four barred gate. "Oh. please, sir" she asked, will you open this gate for me?'
 Smiling upon the demure maiden, the bishop lifted the latch and pushed back the gate. but, in spite of Its size, it swung so easily that he said: You're such a big little girl that I should think you could have. opened yourself so nice a gate as this"
 ''Oh. I could sir" she replied, but then I should have got my hands all over fresh paint"
 And then the bishop saw that was just what had happened to him.

VAN corr IN THE TOLLS
SON OF NEW YORK POSTMASTER
 UNDER ARREST.
Charged With ColoniEing Men in Fifth Assembly District, Who Were to Vote the Republi-
 can Ticket.

New York, Oct. 14-Riohard Van Cott, son of the postmaster of this city, and Bankson McAvoy, a cashier in the postoffice, were arrested this afternoon charged with colonizing in the Fifth Assembly District. Bond was given for both in the Court of General Sessions.
 The chief witness against Van Cott in a sworn confession says he engaged to Iplace seventy-five Illegal voters in boarding houses. The testimony al- leges that Van Cott had rented houses all over the district.
 Van Cott and McAvoy will appear be- fore Justice Wiatt next Wednesday.
 The afidavits in the case were made on John Doe proceedings and declare that Van Cott brought together through agents various men who were to re- ceive their lodging for about six weeks. They were to vote the Republican ticket.
 These men, collected from Bowery boarding houses. were assembled in Washington Square one night in such numbers that they attracted general at- tention. Richard Van Cott looked them over and paid to his agents money for them, the affidavits recite.
 In his defense Van Cott maintains that he is the victim of a conspiracy by political enemies and declares that no proof can be adduced that be has been concerned in colonizing voters.

WILL COME TO A HEAD
FRENCH SEPARATION OF CHURCH
 AND STATE.
Reassembling of Parliament in Extra ordinary Session Will Bring oues- tIOn to Decisive Issue and Bit-
 ter Debate Is Promised.

Paris, Oct. 15.-The resembling of Parliament in extraordinary sesst%l next Tuesday brings to a decisive issue the important question of the separa- ton of church and State. During the recess the rupture of diplomatic rela- tions between France and the Vatican and the recall of M. Nisard, the French Ambassador to the Holy See, occurred. It Is the purpose of the Government to immediately ask for a vote of conf dence concerning what has already been done. The recent provincial cleo tions have shown that Premier Combes is as strong as ever. so no doubt exists that he will continue to demand a good majority in the coming session.
 After Parliament votes its approval of the rupture with the Vatican, it will remain for M. Combes to mature his plans for bringing about the separation of church and State. Thus far he has not indicated his plans except in speech at Auxert, wherein he said that the Government did not propose to patch up the concordat after the Vati- can had torn 1t to pieces.
 It is expected that M. Combes will leave the details of the measure for separation to the special committee which has already drawn up pro- feet. This will be ready to report in January and M. Combes therefore has promised that parliament shall have an opportunity to express its wishes as to whether the separation shall actu- ally be undertaken. Many interpella- tions are pending concerning various incidents of the quarrel with the Vati- can, including the Vatican's protest against President Loubet's visit to Rome. N. Nisard's recall and the re- cent incidents connected with the bishops of Dijon and Laval.
 These promise bitter debates from the outset. The position of M. Pelle- tan. Minister of Marine, also will be attacked. A parliamentary commit tee has been investigating the navy during the recess and its findings are severely criticized. This leads to a movement in influential quarters to force NJ. Pelletan to withdraw from the cabinet. The contest will follow the first religious debate.
 The plan of Finance Minister Rou- vier for establishing an income tax Is another important project. During the recess experiments were made with M. Rouvier's plan in several in terior cities. These demonstrated the practical workings of the plan. which is expected to be carried out during the sessions. It will make sweeping change in the French system of taxa tion substituting tax in incomes Tor the present extensive taxation ot per sonaI effects.

The Japanese everywhere seem to hold favorable. well fortified positions. The Russians are suffering from lack of typographical information. which is seriously hampering their movements. The Japanese have taken the offensive along almost the entire front, compelling the Russians to retire at several points. The Japanese at- tempted a night attack on several Si- berian rifle regiments, but were beaten off.

Liquozone is not made by compound ing drugs, nor is there alcohol in it.' Its virtues are derived solely from gas
 largely oxygen gas--by a process re- quiring immense apparatus and 14 days time. This process has. for more than 20 years, been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research.
 The result is liquid that does what oxygen does. It is a nerve food and blood food-the most helpful thing In the world to you. Its effects are exhil- arating. vitalizing, purifying.

 Don't you realize that product must have wonderful merit to make such an offer possible? We have never asked a soul to buy Liquozone. We have pub lished no testimonials, no physician endorsement.
