Judge Townsend Refuses to Grant In.
Junction in Lou Dillon Case.

New Haven. Conn.,. June 1.-Judge
William X Townsend in the United
States circuit court today denied the
motion of the Memphis Trotting Assoc
citation for an injunction against the
National Trotting Association to re-
strain it from holding meeting to
hear the famous Major Delmar-I.ou
Dillon cases involving the alleged
drugging of them are in the Gold Cup
race at Memphis in the fall OF 1904. The
decision, which was rendered at the
close of rather stormy arguments by
counsel for the Memphis Association
and the National body. is 4 victory for
the National Association, which was
accused of conspiracy and treachery
by Attorney James Meagher of Chicago,
in closing argument. At the conclu-
sion Of the case President p. p. John
ston of the National Association, who
came here from Kentucky to be pres
ent at the hearing. said that the meet
ing Of the association to pass upon the
date he could not tell now. He added,
however. that he hoped the matter
would be settled before the trOtting
season opened.
The meeting of the National Assoc
citation was originally called for May %.
in Lexington, KY. but the Memphis
Association secured a restra lining or
der which necessitated the postpone
ment until today. The hearing today
was on that order. the purpose of the
PLAINTIFF being to have the injunction
made permanent or until after the re-
plevin suit in connection with the Gold
Cup. which is now pending in New
York. was settled

process. Each visitor sees Postum made of diffe
parts of the wheat berry treated by different mechar-
ical methods and one part blended with small part
of pure New Orleans molasses. So he knows Postum
contains not one thing in the world but Wheat and
New Orleans molasses. 1t took more than year OF
experimenting to perfect the processes and learn how
develop the diastase and properly treat the other
elements in the wheat TO produce the cofeelke flavor
that makes suspicious people wonder" But there
never has been one grain of old-fashioned or drug
coffee in Postum and never will be.
Another thing we have on file in our general offices
the original of every testimonial letter have ever
published We submit that attitude regarding
coffee is and always has been absolutely fair. If
one wants stimulant and can digest coffee and it
does not set up any sort of physical anent drink it.
But if coffee overtaxes and weakens the heart (and
it does with some).
Or if it sets up disease of the stomach and bowels
(and it does with some).
Or if it causes weak eyes (and it does with some).
Or if it causes nervous prostration (and it does
with many).
Then good plain old fashioned common sense might
(without asking permission of coffee merchants) sug
gest to quit putting caffeine (the drug Of coee) into
highly organized human body, for health is really
wealth and the happiest sort of wealth.

earth great big facts that all of the sophstres OF the

GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD.
The Turning Point of the Civil War
A Remarkable Guides

There is a guide at Gettysburg, Pa,
Charles ID. Sheads, to be found at the
Gettysburg Hotel, who is a genius.
While not himself a soldier, perhaps
few IL any of the actual participants
of that three days terrible fight have
a 1.-THE of his knowledge of the details.
He has been a resident Of the town
since 1855. and was conductor OF the
Gettysburg & Hanover Railroad until
1t was burned by the Confederates
June 26, 1868.
Upon the memorable first day of July,
with many other citizens, he went out
to the right of the Union army, where
the battle had already commenced. A
member of the Twelfth Illinois cavalry
fred the first shot, and a squadron Of
that regiment continued skirmishing
until relieved by the infantry OF the
First corps, commanded by Maj. Gen.
Reynolds. Later in the day Gen. Rey-
nolds was killed, and the Union troops
under Doubleday fell back through the
town and fortified the heights beyond.
Every house, public and private, had
become hospital. and Sheads found
his little home filled with dead and
dying of both armies. Upon the second
and third day of the battle he was car
ing for the wounded and shortly after
commenced again running his train.
For the past nine years he has EN-.
ployed his entire time as battlefield
guide, and no one has witnessed more

have been piloted by him over every

age reservoir built there, not only for
the benefit of Wyoming, but for Ne
braska as well. The Secretary has set
aside $2,250,000. for the Shoshone
River, Wyoming, project and $3,3SO,0O0
for the Pathfinder project on North
Platte River, to be partially expended
for the benefit of Nebraska. Thus
about Is per cent. of the entire re.
clamation fund will be laid out in Wy
oming, although she has contributed
only about per cent. Of the fund.
Scenes along the Platte and the Sho-
shone canyon are among the widest
and most picturesque in America.
Second to Wyoming comes the terri
tory of Arizona, with the great Salt
River project at an estimated cost Of
about four million dollars, requiring
upwards of per cent. of the entire
reclamation fund, although Arizona
has contributed less than l per cent.
1t is stated by the engineers that the
opportunities for water storage in Ari-
zona are, next to Wyoming the best
in the arid West, while the soil OF that
territory is not only extremely fertile
and lying at moderate altitude, but
the climate is semi-tropical and under
careful cultivation. ten or even five
acres will support family. Southern
California to-day, with a similar soil
and climate, has thousands of pros
porous little five and ten acre farms.
The third State in order of irrigation
benefits in Montana, which, although
lying far north. has a splendid water
supply and likewise rich land. Actual
construction has been begun by the
Government on the Yellowstone,
where, owing to the plentiful flow of
water, none Of the embarrassing COM
plications of vested water rights eX-
ist, which have prevented work thus
far on the upper Missouri River and
on the Milk River. The funds allotted
to Montana for the Huntley, Lower.
Yellowstone and Milk River projects
amount to over three million dollars,
or nearly nine per cent. of the fund.
which is in excess of the amount con
tributed by Montana.
The fourth State in order of benefits
is Nevada, contributing the least
money to the fund but probably most
needing the benefits. 1t was, in fact,
through the dire wants of this State
that the law received its inception, be-
ing first known as the Newlands bill
this unique plan Of automatic appro-
priation being originated and intro
duced by Senator Newlands, then a
Representative, in the spring of 1901.
Following Nevada come Idaho,
Washington, Colorado, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Oregon, North Dakota,
Oklahoma. Utah, Kansas, and lastly
New Mexico.
Throughout these States Govern
ment surveyors and engineers are
working upon many interesting pro-
jects where strong rivers rush down
out of the mountains in time Of heavy
spring floods. but which will be i'm
pounded behind great masonry dams
to form storage lakes whence the water
will later be diverted into the irri-
cation canals and used for crops on the
desert soils. Thousands Of prosperous
homes will be the result when these
works are completed, and the great

Autos For Rural Delivery.

The recommendation of Fourth AS.
sistant Postmaster General DeGraw
that rural carriers be allowed to use
automobiles in serving their routes
has been approved by Postmaster Gen.
eral Cortelyou. The Postmaster Gen.
eral, however, expressly reserves the
right to require the rural carriers to
discontinue the use of such vehicles
and resume the service of their routes
in the ordinary vehicles prescribed by
the regulations, if proof is made Of un.
satisfactory service arising from the
use of automobiles. In addition to
this, the rural carriers are required
also to maintain a fixed schedule so
that the boxes for their patrons may
be served at or about the same time
each day.
