GOVERNMENTS GENEROSITY.
Permission to Develop 1500o Horse
 Power from the Mississippi.

St. Paul, Minn.. June 13.--(Special Correspondence of The Repubiican)- An exhaustive investigation just com pleted by commission of government engineers acting with local officers of the government engineers office, city officials of St. Paul and Minneapolis and prominent business men, has dem Onstrated that 15,000 horsepower of electrical energy can be developed at the lower of the two new navigation locks on the Mississippi just above St. Paul. by the expenditure of an addi- tional s250.000. The government makes the unusual proposition that it will permit the use of power at the lock. provided the two cities or toher in terests will bear the additional cost. That the power will be used is already settled. Whether it will be used by a private power company, or used jointly by the state of Minnesota and the two adjacent cities is question which will be determined by point commission composed of three men named by Gov. Johnson and three by each of the two mayors.
 The government has completed one lock and dam, and partially completed the second. or lower, of the two. To develop the power the secCond dam must be raised fifteen feet. utilizing present foundations and the work all ready completed. This will provide a thirty foot dam. raising a large head of water and developing enormous power. The state is already interested and wishes a portion of the power for use at the state university near by, the state agricultural school. which is one of the largest in the United States and the state fair grounds. The gov ernment requires 1.000 horsepower and the two cities of St. Paul and Min

PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight ': Old Aqe.

When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring. they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others
 superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says:
 My mother. since her early child hood. was an inveterate coffee drink CT. had been troubled with her heart for number of years and complained of that weak all over feeling and sick stomach.
 Some time ago I was making an official visit to distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I not iced somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee. and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum.
 T was so pleased with it. that after the meal was over. I bought a package to carry home with me. and had wife to prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it that we discontinued coffee and used Pos tum entirely.
 'I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mothers con- dition. but we noticed that after us | ing Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to | it's use. and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach: that the headaches were not so frequent. and her general condition much i'm proved. This continued until she was as we'll and hearty as the rest of us.

FRANK FRONT
 ORDINANCE An Attack Upon Il Made in
 District Court R. |. HAYES THE PLAINTIFF
In an Injunction Proceeding on Behalf of Royal Arch. Power of the Council to Enact Such Legislation Is Brought Into Question.

The first formal resistance by the saloonkeepers of the city to the "open front" ordinance. which will be ef- fective on July 6, if ever. was offered yesterday in an injunction suit filed by Judge Ainsworth on behalf of R. l.. Hayes against the mayor and com mon council and Marshal A. J. Moore. Notice was given that application for a temporary restraining order would be made tomorrow The plaintiff in the case is acting for the Royal Arch.
 The ordinance is attacked on two grounds: one. that it is invalid, and the other. that it is unreasonably Op- pressive. amounting in the case of the plaintiff to prohibition. Greater stress will. perhaps be laid on the want of power of the council. under the charter. to enact such legis s'atio"
 In the beginning. it is stated that the city of Phoenix was organized un- der a legislative act. No. IS. of the leg islature Of 1881. This act vas amend ed by act No. 61 of the legislature of 1885. and again by Legislative act No. S2 of the legislature of 1893
 It will evidently be the contention of the plaintiff that no power is con- fcrred upon the council to regulate sa- looms except such as is conferred by these three acts. If that should he established, then the council would have no more authority over the sa- loon business than it has over the dry goods or any other business. nor could it impose a greater license on the saloon traffic than it could on the dry goods traffic
 There were subsequent acts of the Legislature cenferring additional pow CTS on city councils for the regulation of saloons. one of them is of very sweeping character giving the coun- cil the power to do anything to a sa- loon except to close it up. Another goes further and invests the council with the power of prohibition.
 Against the latter it is contcrded that it does not apply to Phoenix for the reason that the city was not or ganized under it Against the other it is pointed out that. under para graph 717 of the Revised Statutes This act shall rot apply to any in corporated city in this territory until duly adopted by the legal voters who arc taxpayers thereof. as hereinafter provided
 But the complaint does not go into these matters. merely referring to the original charter and the two mend mentS.
 It states that the plaintiff on April 30 applied to the city for and ob- tained a license to sell liquor at 132 East Washington street. and paid s250 for that privilege for the ensuing quar- ter. On April 1 he took out county license for $500 for the year Then follows synopsis Of the objectionable
