sation by presenting a dissenting opin-
lion on the report of the committee on

ted $10,000 for the purpose of conduct-
ing the investigation, and out of this
amount tee00 was expended. On the
other questions the committee wan
unanimous.
The following is the dissenting opin-
ion of Mr. Boyd:
“I protest against Incorporating Into
our report that part of the Investiga-
tion made by the expert accountant
employed by this committee, into the
affairs of the First National bank of

to say that the bank question has no
place in this investigation, for the rea-
son that it is a part of the work of
the treasury department for the pe-
riod covered In the investigation. (Ten
years.) We can not avoid It and offer
no apology for it.
“For these reasons we vote for the
report. We simply state the fact to
the people as shown on the records,
and in the evidence which we here-
with submit, and draw no conclusions
relative to individuals nor do we issue
a proclamation or condemnation. We
submit the matter to the people.”
The report of the committee was
placed In the hands of the printer
and will be ready in about sixty days.
The members of the committee, with
the exception of Chairman Henderson,
left last night for their homes. It
was not the intention of a majority
of the committee to give out part of
the report until Committeeman Boyd
filed a minority report. Committee-
man Stafford has not been with the
committee for the past several weeks.

cities, and there seems to be no reason why it should not be prac-
ticed in Austin.
The past few days the dust has been simply awful, and something
will certainly have to be done. Yesterday forenoon the Arm of
Deen & Walling experimented with Beaumont oil on San Jacinto
street, immediately east of their store. Mr. Deen stated that they
used one barrel of oil on it, covering a space about sixty by thirty
feet, and that the test was exceedingly satisfactory. “It doesn’t
make any difference how many wagons run over the street after the
oil is on IL" said Mr, Deen, “the dust is settled for that day at .
least. We intend to use the oil until the streets are sprinkled 4
again.” ±

John Ing Finally Won out in Cas
Against the L & G. N- Railway
Company.
--o——
The supreme court yesterday refused
an application for writ of error In th®
case of International and Great Norh-
ern Railway company against John H.
Ing from Travis county. Ing secured
a judgment for about IMO in the lower
court on acount of being put off de-
fendant’s train between here and San
Antonio. He was riding on an ex,
curalon train and had an excursion
ticket which it seemed he had pur-
chased second hand, and the conduc-
tor put him off on this account. The
lower court. awarded Ing damages,
holding that Ing had a right to the
ticket, as it was not marked "non:
transferable,” and the court of civil
appeals sustained this point and af-
nimed the case and the supreme court
holds the same view by refusing an
application for writ of error.
A prominent St. Paul woman com-
ments on coffee as follows:
“While I was drinking coffee I was
troubled with sleeplessness and palpi-
tation of the heart. I began to feet
suspicious of coffee ploson and having
no desire to drug myself, realized how-
inconsistent it was for me to continue
the use of anything that helped to
break me down, so I quit coffee and
began using Postum Coffee,
Now I sleep well and consequently
feet refreshed, and am much strength-
ened. Palpitation of the heart has
ceased and altogether life seems worth
living.
Some of our family like a little cof-
fee mixed in with the postum: that, of
course. Is much heatthier than the old
fashioned coffee alone.”
It is true that very strong coffee of
the best flavor has a little more fasci-
noting taste to some palates than pure
Postum. On the other hand, there are
thousands of people that prefer the
flavor of Postum. pure and simple. If
coffee agrees perfectly, and people are

good reason why coffee should be dis-
continued unless there is a fear of dis-

this point the court declares: j
“But to the extent that the stat

decision of the supreme court of I
United States, we shall adhere to 1
former decision that It is const!
