Attorney General Cosson today announced he would Immediately appeal ft case from the local court In which the Iowa blue sky law was held unconstitu tional and the state officials were en joined from enforcing It. The federal court has already held It does not violate the federal constAutlon, but despite this the district court held It was In violation of the federal constitu tion. The supreme court will be asked for an early decision so that the state may not be held up. Dine Sky Lntr Unconstitutional. Judge Mcllenry In the district court hero today held that the Iowa bluesUy law Is unconstitutional In that It takes property without due process of law The Butt was brought on behalf of brokers to restrain stato officials from enforcing the law and expending money thereunder. The law was attacked on many grounds. It Is expected that the case will bo appealed at once. There is also a case pending In federal court In volving tho same questions. Sudden Dontli nt n Fnnernl. As he was attending the funeral of his old friend, J. W. Stradley, in the south part of the city today,, Albeit LaFee, aged 55, suddenly dropped dead. Ho fell on the porch of the house whero the funeral was belhg held and a doctor who was attending tho funeral declared soon that he was dead. But In the hopo that this might be an error, Undertaker Arthur Dunn took the man In his auto mobile and started off to tho Methodist hospital In great haste. On the way he ran down H. L. Peacock, a coal team ster, and Injured him severely. Leaving word for others to caro for Pea.co'ck ho went on to the hospital, only to find that the case of LaFee was hopeless. In tho meantime the Stradley funeral was )concluded. Dnllnn-Melchrr Cnse. The State llallroad commission todav heard arguments on the controversy as 1 between Dallas and Melchor as to which one Is .to bo regarded as the station for the Rock Island in Marlon county. Tho evidence was taken some tlmo ago. Tho railroad companies tried io establish Melcher as tho town right by the sldo of Dallas In order not to havo a station In Dallas. Tho Iowa railroad commission has re ceived word from the Interstate Com merce commission that tho new rates vnder. what are known ns the Iowa rato cases have been suspended again, this time until March 1. They wcro to have gone into effect today. Plinrmnt'y Students. It has been decided by tho State Tharmacy commission that as to the stu dents who bought examination papers I from a printer after they had been ttolon that they will bo prosecuted. It Is a question whether any case can bo made out against the boys, but inasmuch as thero Is to bo prqsecutlon of the per tens' who stole the .papers Jt was thought besfto prosecuto'ftll Wnb haST anything-, to do with the case. . ') Upllrptlc Colour. The state epileptic colony location is again open. It will not be located at tho Flynn farm near Des Moines. Tho board of control, which alone has had the matter in charge, had given until today for the closing of the deal on the basis of the resolution adopted early last month. Tho terms could not be met, there fore the board declared the matter open and will proceed In a few days to make an6ther offer as to some other farm. Tho board offered $200,000 for 1,000 acres of the Flynn farm, with tho condition added that the Milwaukee railroad should build a station and stop all trains on the farm: also, that there should be an ex tension of tho Interurban, trolley lino from Urbandalo to the farm, only a few miles away, with continuous service guaranteed. This latter condition was the obstaclo which ended negotiations, for no assur ance could bo given as to this extension Time' was asked for further negotiations, but this could not be granted because as to other farms .offered thero were options which soon expire and It the state Is to bo In position to get the best location action must now be taken. The selection of the Flynn farm for the location of the colony would have meant the expenditure of several hundred thou sand dollars for buildings and equipment within a few years. The location near Des Moines was selected because of near ness to markets and coal, and nearness to city advantages and especially, a large corps of physicians. Other farms that were considered aro nt Atlantic, Rockwell City, Mason City and Boone. ' Gulliver Wants n Flut, Tho supreme court ha presented to It today a motion In tho Glenn Gulliver case to have the judgment of Judge Kelly at Osage modified to tho extent Princess nadzlwill, formorly Mlsa Dorothy Deacon of Boston, who will not become mistress of the Immense Radzlwlll family estate after all, at least not for tho present, a fact which has becomo known In London. It seems tho Dowager princess, widow of Prlnco George, who died the other day In Vienna asylum, ob jected to tho young American girl, who married her eldest son, Prlnco Albert, reigning over tho famous castle of Nlcscwlez In Lithuania. She paid up at tho time of her son's marriage to Miss Deacon, huge debts which encumbered the estate on condition that sho should bo allowed to remain In possession until her death. Eczema Cone!

Any analytical chemist canprovo by analysis,' that coffee contains two harmful drugs Caffeine an alkaloid that Irritates the heart, liver and kldnoja, and upsets the nerves. Tannin a drug which produces an astringent action upon the tissues of the stomach and bowels. But the greatest test of all is made in thous ands of homes where it is daily proven by per sonal experience that headaches, biliousness, indigestion, heart irritation and nervousness are very often caused by coffee drinking. An ordinary cup of coffeo contains about 2 & grains of caf feine, and 2 2-5 gralnsof tannin. Some coffeo concerns have tried in various ways without much success to rid coffee of its caffeine, because they know its harmful effects. Now they aro agitated because people aro objecting to the presence of tannin in coffee the same element (but obtained from bark) that is used to tan leather. Tho simple, easy way out of coffee troubles is to quit this harmful beverage and use the pure food-drink POSTUM It Is absolutely free from these drugs or any harmful sub stance.
