Larceny Case Dismissed.
The case of H. S. McCormick,
acccused of larceny by Irwin Devlne,
of Oakdale, was heard before Justice
of the Peace Hardy Holman yesterday
morning at 10 a. m. and was dismissed
without prejudice. Mr. MoCormlck
and his partner were .camped near
Dallas with a band of horses, which
they were selling and trading among
the residents of this vicinity. Mr.
Devine claimed that be had negotiated
with McCormick for the purchase of a
mare vafued at $30, and had offered
to pay $15 cash and give bis violin to
complete the payment. He said that
he was showing the instrument to
McCormick, Wednesday evening and,
some objection arising, refused to
close the deal, whereupon McCormick,
who was sitting in his buggy, declared
that it was. a trade anyhow and drove
away tuking the violin with him.
Devine immediately had a warrant
sworn out for his arrest but upon hear
ing both sides of the case, Justice
Hardy Holman decided that the evU
dence was not sufficient to warrant the
charge of larceny. It appeared that
the trade had in reality been closed
and that although the horsetrader had
perhaps bullied the young man into
making it, to a certain extent, there
was no ground for the accusation that
be had stolen the violin.

J. H. Nies, the tinner In William
Fault's hardware store, has been busy
for several days making sheet Iron
pipes for bop driers In this vicinity.
In spite of the reduced crop this year,
the demand for hop drier pipes is
almost as great as ever.
The sample blocks of concrete In
both the smooth and the rock front
finish which F. H. Pepper and Wes
Vaughn have made with their new
machine and have on display at the
Dallas Ice Factory, are excellently
made and will no doubt soon come
into general use for building purposes
In this city. Their machine for mak
ing concrete tiling has also worked
successfully and Messrs. Vaugh and
Pepper expect a large demand for the
new commodity.
The test of the county road rollor on
the Butler bill near Salt Creek proved
highly satisfactory to the County
Commissioners who witnessed it.
Although the hill Is comparatively
steep and very long, the maoblne
climbed It with apparently no trouble.
and this test was considered sufficient
to prove the efficiency of the engine on
any of the roads in Polk county. Tbe
roller is considerably lighter than tbe
one in use on the streets of this city,
but is much speedier machine.

Furniture Company Changes Hands.
M. E. Schoweiler has sold his share
in the Dallas Furniture Company to
Ralph Adams, and will retire from
business temporarily. Yesterday was
spent in making an invoice prepara
tory to the transfer of ownership. Mr.
Adams has been in business in Dallas
for several years and baa proven him
self to be a thoroughly competent and
up-to-date business man, and there is
no doubt that the business will con
tinue to prosper under his individual
management Mr. Schoweiler has woo
many friends In Dallas during his
short residence here, who will
regret the ciroumstances that make it
necessary for him to retire, but it is to
be hoped that he will continue to make
his home here as he has always proven
himself a loyal and progressive citi
zen and one whom we could ill afford
to lose.

MELONS AND
COFFEE
WISE TALKS BY U. S. LOUQHARYS'
OFFICE BOY ,
Well, Sir, school has been out two
weeks and I havent had any melons
yet I suppose Its my own fault for
they are certainly getting plenty
enough. I tell you what it is, next to
the strawberry, a melon is the best
thing a man can eat In the morning,
and coffee is the best thing he can
drink. A lot of folks have a kind of
grouch against coffee drinking, but
maybe they never got the right kind.
Really good coffee hasn't a grouch In
a gallon of It. Poor coffee contains to
much of the bitter principal( "tannin,"
I think tbey call It,) and that makes a
fellow peevish, especially too much ot
it Lotsof good coffee Is ruined in the
making; boiled too long; made too
weak, and dosed with poor milk. To
be a good and wholesome drink, coffee
should be roasted fresh, made strong,
and brought just to the boiling point
(or made in a coffee percolator by
pouring boiling water over the pow
dered coffee) and served . with rich
cream such as tbe St. Charles or Pio
neer brands. Ma says this is so and
that good coffee, properly made, never
hurts anyone. Have you tried our M.
J. B. coffee?
