I was like a morphine fiend. could not sleep at night, would roll and toss In disturbed by dreams and hobgoblns, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not att tend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks. I had sour belchings from the stomach, indigestion. heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, ir- regularity of the kidneys, etc
 Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as If he had insulted me. I could not bear the idea. 1t had such hold on me, and l refused to believe 1t the cause.

Arthur c. Moore. young white man. was fatally injured last night at about o'clock on the East Lake car line The last reports from the hospital are that he has very little chance to live.

 The unfortunate man was knocked down and dragged a number of. feet be- fore the motorman could bring his car to d stop. His left arm was cut off above the elbow, and his head was hor- ribly mashed. He also suffered several fractured ribs and internal injuries.
 The incoming brought the injured man to the city, where he was met by the ambulance of Shaw & Son and car red to St. Vineent's hospital.

We are as law abiding and as much in terested in the growth of our city and district, material and moral, as the most ardent advocate of prohibition can pos sibly be- But as we believe that the at tempt to enforce the prohibition of the sale of liquors, spurious, vinous and malt, in this county at this time by direction of law, would result in failure, in the increase of drunkenness and vice, as well as in business and industrial demoraliza- tion, we hereby enter formal protest against the movement, and advise all who believe in true temperance to vote against it We approve of the laws that have recently been enacted for the reg ulation of saloons and feel that they should be given a trial. We believe that they can be enforced, and that they vii. materially reduce crime and the number of arrests in this city.
