Previously we used coffee twice a day

my husband had been subject TO severe

that coffee was the cause of his trouble.

acidity of the stomach and heart palpita-

Rogers came to town for a few days of
fun. He has lived so long in the open. away
from the communicating influence of fire
water and gold brick men, that he wanted
to sip again the sweets of civilization.
For two or three days Rogers has been
rambling around the Third ward. drink
ing when he felt like it and eating when
he was hungry. Monday night he made
himself a patron of a lunch wagon on
Dodge street between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth, conducted by a colored man, Wash
ington by name.
While in this place he trusted one of
his new-found city friends with a $40
bill which he was to get changed. The
friend failed TO return with the change
and Washington, with due regard TO the
reputation of his place, offered to make
the amount good in trade.
Last night Rogers betook himself to
w~ashington's impromptu cafe and ordered
certain viands. The father of his coun-

IS STEALING A POLICY, THEFT?
That IL the Question That IL Pat
TO Judge Crawford to
Decide.

Charged by Arthur Swsyback with steal
ing a fire insurance policy that the issuing
company claims never to have uttered,
John Smith, S2l South Nineteenth street,
was arraigned in police court Wednesday.
The charge against him is grand larceny,
the face value OF the policy alleged to have
been stolen by Smith being 5000.
AS soon as the complaint against Smith
was filed in police court, the question
arose. rs the theft Of an insurance policy
more than the mere theft of the paper it
is written on? AS there. was some doubt
as to the case being one of grand larceny,
Judge Crawford set the case over until
today.
On February 3 a fire occurred in the
tailoring shop of Arthur Swayback. 242O
Cunning street. At the time, Assistant
Chief Deneen of the fire department, stated
that he did not think the blaze started
accidentally, as he found indications that
the whole interior of the shop had been
soaked i'm gasoline and the owner had left
the place for several hours with an open
pail of the liquid in the middle OF the floor
and a red hot fire raging in a stove nearby.
After the fire ~Swayback said he carried $500
insurance, and it is this alleged policy on
his tailor shop that is in question In the
present action against Smith.
Claiming that he never stole an insurance
policy in his life, Smith declares that the
whole matter is purely a case of persecu-
ton and that ~Swayback is merely trying
to get even with him for something or
other by an attempt to make him stand the
$500 which Swayback claims to be his due
as the result OF the burning out OF his
place of business.
SO along with the question of Smiths
innocence or guilt in the police court case.
there are the questions. rs 1t grand lar
eeny to steal a fire insurance policy that
is due?" did Swayback ever have a $500
fire insurance policy in the State Insurance
company" (which is the company in
which the policy is said to have been car
ried?' and is Assistant Chief Deneen right
i'm his contention that the Swayback fire
on February 3 was not accidental?

ENEMIES OF THE PRIMARY.

In their replies to the inquiry from
a Richmond newspaper as to how
they stood upon the question Of con-
vention or no convention this year
to formulate a Democratic platform,
it is surprising to note that two or
three members of the State Demo
cratic committee advocated dispensing
with the primary system altogether
and returning to the old form OF ward
and township meetings and the nomi-
mating convention for state officers.
The Eaiiy Press d not especially
concerned about whether there shall
or shall not be State Democratic
convention this year. in as much as
both candidates for the gubernatcrial
nomination have made their positions
upon vital questions pretty well
known. But this newspaper pro
