Benbow Scarcity of Water Causing Trouble In Greensboro- Ugly Charges Against Young Railroader. By Telegraph to THE JOURNAL. Greensboro, N. Sept. 3.

-The funeral of Dr. Benbow held this morning could not have been more appropriate. The services were no doubt just such as he would have desired-, simple, impressive and without ostentation. The casket of plain black, rested in front of the rostrum of what ased to be known as Benbow Hall, now a part of the hotel, fitted up to be used for any public gathering, entrance being only through the hotel corridors. Banked on the rostrum were numerous floral designs, the attestation of loving friends and admirers.

Rev. Joseph Peele, pastor of Friends church in Greensboro, offered prayer, in which a touching tribute was paid to the deceased whom he had known since childhood. Rev. Mr. Newlin followed with a short discourse full of comfort for the family and friends.

During his illness Dr. Benbow had said he had not always lived as he should, and all of as must admit we have not, but that he added-" The way is clear and I am only waiting to be The solemn service was then closed by a fervent prayer by Rev. Mr. Newton. Gen.

Glenn, a member of the water and light commission, says he has been out of town, but on his return this morning he notified the Southern that it could not for the present get any more water for any of its engines except those on the yard, known as the shifting engines. Unless there is rain it will only be a question of a few days when there will not be a drop in the creek from which the supply is obtained. A serious charge awaits 8 man whose name is Woody, an employe of the Southern Railway. He is said to be a flagman or breakman on the road and this morning went out on his run to Spencer. The charge is that he made a criminal assault on the daughter of a Mr.

Haney last night, claimed tobe under fourteen years of age, and a warrant was placed in the hands of a deputy sheriff this morning. It is not thought that Woody is trying to escape or will make any attempt to do so. The facts charged by the State are revolting but there are two sides to every question. Stephen A. Douglas, of this city, a grandson of the famous man of that name and a son of Justice R.

M. Douglas of the Supreme Court bench, was one of the successful applicants for license to practice law at the examination held in Raleigh Monday. County Physician Harrison was called to Stokesdale today to examine a on man supposed to have smallpox. The disease is prevalent in and around Kernersville and it may be that it has reached Stokesdale. Al Fields' minstrels opened the season here to a crowded house tonight.

Pope two notes as a contribution to the campaign fund. Mr. Pope has already caused two suits to be instituted against Mr. Lewis; one for highway robbery, wherein Mr. Lewis was fined $50 and the costs, and a second suit, a civil action, for $25,000, not yet been tried.

Trust to Intelligence. You cannot by process of law prevent anyone from drugging themslves to death. We must meet the evil by appeal to the intelligence. One of the drugs that does the most harm to Americans, because of its wide spread use and its apparent innocence, is Coffee. Ask any regular coffee drinker if he or she is perfectly well.

At least one-half are not. Only those with extra vigor can keep well against te daily attack of caffeine (in the coffee). The heart and pulse gradually lose strength; dyspepsia, kidney troubles and nervous diseases of some sort set in and the clearly marked effects of coffee poisoning are shown. These are facts and worth anyone's thought. The reasonable and sensible thing, is to leave it off and shift to Postum Food Coffee.

The poison that has been secretly killing is thus withdrawn and a powerful rebuilding agent put to work. The good effects will begin to show inside of ten days. If health and comfort Are worth anything to you, try it. FARMERS' OFFICERS. State Association's Semi-Annual Election-New Charters.

Chicago Stars Make a Conditional Contract for a Game in Winston. 1 A provisional contract has been made for a game of base ball between the Chicago Stars, a female team, and the Winston club. The conditions in the contract make. it possible for the local management to cancel the date if inquiries and reports from other places justify the suspicion that the Stars give the same sort of exhibition that other female clubs give. It is only fair to this company to state that the press notices from other cities are distinctly favorable--both in regard to skillful, scientific playing and in regard to lady-like decorum on the streets and grounds.

Other experiments in this line of entertainment have had disastrous results and these justified the home management in turning down the application, but Mr. McMillan, the advance agent, was so insistent in his claims and so anxious to have inquiries made in other towns where his club has played, that Mr. Dunn felt justified in making a conditional contract. If nothing happens the girls will be here on Tuesday next. AUGUST SALES.
