A DREAM. The Awakening Reality Less Rosy.

SF'ar back in my childhood I hold pleasant memories of the coffee berry in it's natural state. and its grateful aroma when Toasting over the kitchen fireI writes q venerable N. H. lady.
 Although the old house is gone and new one stands in its place. I often see in my dreams. the little coffee grin der by the window and grind again the coffee for breakfast.
 But time passed on and the pleas ure of indulgence in coffee was wholly lost in the i'll effects on my nervous system. I was troubled with frequent and severe spells of headache which sadly interfered with my work.
 My sleep was less sound than for merly and nightmare often disturbed my fitful slumbers, until at last insOm- mia held me in it's relentless grasp. I would lie awake nearly all night.
 "Other troubles set in until I was pronounced incurable by several of our best physicians. They all prohibited the use of coffee. I was indeed like one under the spell of the drink habit. but obeyed implicitly my medical ad visers. for I had become great suf ferer.
 "A friend who had been greatly ben efitted by changing from coffee to Postum. gave me q cup of this health beverage to try. I found it's favour pleasant. while at the same time it agreed with me perfectly; in fact. seemed just what was needed to build me up.
 'I ordered some at once, but was dis appointed to find mine did not taste like my friend's-I had not boiled it long enough. After I had learned this fact and made my POstum according to directions I had uniform. satisfac- tory results.

A CONFIDENCE MAN
 AND A SHOP LITTER
EntaneIed in the Toils Yesterday Af-
 ternoon.

J. D. Brown, confidence man, re- gently from Yuma where he made a futfre attempt to get a friend out of the pen, got himself into jail here yester- day about one o'clock, through his ef- forts to do the rush act and secure the loan of money. Brown was arrest ed by Officers Troutman and Sullivan at the Arizona Saddlery store. He was taken to jail and there stored away to sleep off the effects of too much booze.
 Numerous complaints have been heard about the city concerning Brown, who had been stopping at one of the leading hotels and fourflushing on ev- cry hand. He did not have any money but he said he would some day. Under this pretense he borrowed small sums. His method was to rush into saloon or store as if full of business and had to hurry to get there and spring a check. or ask a few dollars for a few minutes till he paid a fellow outside. He managed to work q few people and among them a hack driver to the sum of g. He had been living easy and securing high class accommodations, but his fall from luxury to a cemented cell was a hard jolt. He will be tried today.
 The police also apprehended one Chris.iana Alphio, a shoplifter. Sh. came into the spotlight Of the crime some time ago when she attempted to sell bonnets to fapilies residing in the south part of the city. At one of the houses where she appeared. later a watch was missed. At another home a kodak was found missing after the vender had departed. Yesterday a young lady to whom the kodak belong ed saw the shoplifter up town and Marshal Moore was notified. Later the marshal located the woman at the Arizona Electrical repair shop with the kodak in her possession. She will be tried today on a charge of petty larceny
 Additional police business consisted of one common drunk who got five days. one sleeping drunk who paid s. Eight prisoners were placed at work cleaning the weeds from the lawn of the city hall plaza.

TO DOCK RIGHT OF
APPELLATE COURT
Will Report at Seattle Convention,
Citing Evil of 5aslng Decisions
on Mistakes Instead of
Merits
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.--Courts of APP
peal will no longer decide civil or GRIM
fnal litigations brought before them on
purely technical points, but will base
their rulings on the merits of the case,
if the recommendations of the special
committee of the American Bar asso-
citation shall become law.
The committee was appointed by the
association at its last annual meeting
to draft proposed laws to prevent de-
Law and unnecessary cost in litigation
Its report will be presented at the next
annual meeting to be held in Seattle
from August 25 to 28.
1t opens with a statement that the
existing evil which seems most serious
to the committee is the disposition In
many Jurisdictions to dispose of APP
meals or writs of error, both in civil
and criminal cases, upon technical
grounds and not to decide them upon
their merits.
In the Judgment of the committee
the rule for deciding appeals and writs
of error should not be based on re-
yersible errors committed in the court
below, but upon the merits as the case
appears on the record.
Continuing, the report calls atten-
ton to the fact that the tendency OF
the courts in common law cases is to
eonstrue adherence to strict legal rules
as the rights of each party, and to
reverse IL there has been any infrac-
ton of these rules.
'aThis makes the trial of case a
game" declares the committee, 'in
yvhich the one wins who plays the mos!

BY Associated Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 16.-The
cabinet suffered a great loss today by
the sudden death of the war minister,
Redo pasha, from heart disease.
The governmental program, which
occupies more than two columns of the
newspapers, Is published today.
Its salient features include declara-
tion that all laws and regulations not
compatible with the new regime will
be amended; that the army, navy and
all governmental departments will be
reorganized: that non-Mussulmans Will
be eligible for military service.
The program promises that CONNER
cial treaties will be renewed and the
best relations cultivated with all the
powers.
The Porte has requested through the
American ambassador, John G. Leish-
man, the approval by the United States
government of the appointment of Hus-
sian Kizen Bey, the present Turkish
minister at Bucharest, as ambassador
at Washington.
The situation on the Turko-Persian
frontier is again alarming, owing to
forward movements of the imperial
troops, provoked by the choatic condi-
tions prevailing in the Persian dis

Attempt Proves Futile
An attempt today to cut the telephone
and fire alarm wires leading to the city
hall was not successful. A policeman
saw three men on top of an outbuildlng
trying to reach the lines overhead. He
turned in an alarm to the headquarters
Of General Wells, commanding pro-
visional brigade, and the latter dis
patched a wagonload of soldiers to the
scene. They arrived before the trio
had done any damage. The would-be
wire cutters fed, leaving their nippers
behind.
The court of inquiry which considered
Private Klein's case was composed of
Maj. James Miles, Capt. Jacob Judson,
Capt. S. f. High and Lieut.. f. A. Gull
ford all of the First Illinois. After
sitting all day they reported to Adjt.
Gen. Scott that Klein's act was per-
formed in the strict line of duty. Klein
had been placed as one of g. guard of
the baggage car of the Illinois Central
train that brought the First infantry
to Springfield yesterday.
Was Under instructions
The baggage car contained property
owned by the state. Klein, guarding
the front door, was instructed by Lieut.,
Guilford to allow no one not officially
COuntendnCed TO enter Lne car. AL
Kankakee four young men, according
to the report, climbed to the front plat
form and attempted to enter the bag
gage car.
Klein barred the way. using the only
weapon available, a bayonet. AS the
train started the four youths left the
platform. Klein was not aware that
Nelson or anyone else had been in
jured. States Attorney Cooper of Kan
kakee probably will institute action
against Klein in the criminal court at
Kankakee. The attorney general of the
state is compelled by law to defend
national guardsmen in such cases,
Troops Scatter Mob
A genuine scare was caused at the
headquarters in the arsenal tonight
after squad had been sent to dis
perse a crowd at Allen and Spring
streets. Five minutes later report
reached Lieut. Col. Eddy that shots
had been fired in the threatened dis
trict. He Immediately sent a full
platoon to the place to reinforce the
squad. When additional soldiers ap-
peared the crowd broke and ran.
The soldiers pursued them for several
blocks and the district, which is near
the scene of last nights lynching, was
in an uproar for few minutes. The
arsenal was crowded tonight with
negro refugees from Springfield and
surrounding towns. About 200 men,
women and children sought shelter in
the building and slept on the floor or in
chairs.

DRAWS LESSON
OF GREAT FIRE
CONTINUED from Pneo One,

turning into the state treasury every
year 5000, 900 clear above its cost.
"This law is an unnecessary tax and
an unjust one. because it is imposed on
the foresight of the citizen. 1t is levied
upon the man who takes care that he
or his shall not be a burden upon the
state and for that reason 1t is a tax
that should be imposed only in the last
extremity.
1--WE need numerous laws which will
safeguard the policyholder against the
irresponsible companies, while not
driving away those companies whose
regulations are above suspicion. AS it
is at present, the bars are down for
the companies whose methods do not
protect the trusteeship they hold. When
state laws are oppressive these COM
panies may linger, but the institutions
which are safe will not remain under
such legislation. When everything is
smooth the average man does not no.
tice this condition, but when disaster
comes he feels the result keenly. OF all
states California should be the first to
consider this and lead the country in
wise legislation.
IAN important phase OF needed legis-
lation is in the direction of requiring
the fraternal or assessment companies
to maintain a reserve or deposit suff1-
Client to guarantee that the just claims
against them be paid. This is no more
| than what the we'll organized old line
companies have always done; 1t is
merely a guarantee to the insured that
his widow will receive the insurance
or that he will have a just return for
| his payments. The fraternal companies
have q value for their social eide, and
! they often wake men up to the need
of insurance. but that does not lessen
the responsibility that accrues with
every payment they receive on a life
policy. We should have laws that
recognize this trusteeship and which
hold all companies to account alike.
Great object Lesson
"The San Francisco disaster stands
as a wonderful object lesson in insur-
anee. The loss was twice as large as
the Boston, Chicago and Baltimore
coniagrations all put together, and the
| insurance companies were called upon
to pay claims amounting to more than
all the great fires that preceded it. As
the companies all held their funds in
eilt-edged securities. which could not
he realized on at a moments notice,
they were compelled to sacrifice heav-
ily to make the payments within q
reasonable time. This meant depre-
citation of 10 per cent which they suf-
fered. The average man has but a
faint conception of what the COM
Danies had to go through as a result of
the disaster of 1905.
awe intend to show our visitors the
usual California good time. and OF
course the brunt of it falls on the Los
