ported that there was not likely to
be a recurrence of the hemorrhages.
This was the greatest danger, as the Toss
of blood was severe strain upon the
system. The doctors, as well as the
members of the family, have declared
right along that Mr.. Randall has been
able to partake of and enjoy nourish-
ment, and this has kept him up. Per-
sons, who claim to know the situation
thoroughly say that the surgical op-
Grafton performed several weeks ago
is the cause of his breaking down, but
that he has recovered from the effects
of the operation and is doing as well
as could be expected. A gentleman
who is close TO the Randalls is author
ity for the statement that there is no
cancer; il is also denied by his family,
and DIR. Mallan, his physician, says
that the statement that he has cancer
of the stomach is absolutely false. He
says Mr.. Randall has not and never
has had a cancer. His treatment all
along has been for hemorrhages of the
bowels, both by DIR. Martin and by the
physicians now attending him The
return of the hemorrhages is possible.
yet DR.. Mallan thinks the physicians
had them under control.

Randall's private secretary read the
dispatch stating that Mr.. Randall has
cancer of the stomach, and will retire
from public life. just as he re-

of truth in it. 1t is a pure invention.
1t must have been made'of whole cloth.
The cause of Mr.. kandall's illness is
hemorrhoids, as all know, and that is
the only cause. An operation was re-

ARE TEA AND COFFEE FOODS?
Their Tannic Acid---Tea Does Not
Make Leather in the Stomach.

Their Tannic Acid---Tea Does Not
Make Leather in the Stomach.
May Century.
Tea and coffee are not foods in the
sense in which we use the word They
contain, it is true, very small quantities
of materials similar to the nutriments of
ordinary food, but so few of these get
into the decoctiOns which we drink that
they are not worth taking into account
+. The aroma of the tea and coffee is
mainly, and the taste largely, due to
minute quantities of oily substances
essential oils, as they are called. The
effect of tea and coffee upon the nerves
and brain seems to be chiefly due to
a substance called caffeine when
when it comes from tea. 1t is the
same chemical compound in both
and belongs to the class called alkaloids.
Like the extracts of meat, it has, in
moderate quantities, an invigorating
effect, and may at times aid digestion.
The expression, which long usage has
applied to tea and coffee, The cups
that cheer but not inebriate," is a true
statement of fact. The tea contains
tannic acid, or tannin, the substance
which in the bark of trees, like oak and
lclllOCh. 10 uScu 10 ldu leatueF.
The skins of animals contain
gelatinoid substances with which
the tannin unites, giving it
the properties of leather. Tannin may
likewise unite with albuminoid sub
stances, such as occur in meats, fish,
milk, eggs and so on.
The natural inference is that if we
take tea with albuminous foods, the
tannin will unite with them and form
indigestible compounds. The news
paper statements we sometimes see
about tea making leather in the stomach
are grossly exaggerated. But expert
ments imply that it may sometimes in
terfere with the digestion of dry meats,
such as ham and tongue. One objection
to sleeping tea for a long time is that
the longer it is infused the more tannic
acid is extracted. Coffee contains tan
mic acid but less than tea.

Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, Dak., A ug. 3.-The politi-
cal outlook in Sphinx county, as far as
county politics is concerned is decidedly
mixed. The combined farmers and
prohibition move just now seems to be
in the lead as against either the straight
Republican or Democratic parties. Elec-
ton, however, is good distance off and
he who would at present attempt to pre-
dict the result must of necessity be a
prophet. The local option question will
again be submitted to the people. A
petition will in due time be presented to
the county board by the license men
asking for resubmiSsion Of the queS-

the law has been practically dead let
ter may result in changing the result
this fall. f. A. Dawes, of this city, will
be one. of the formidable competitors
before the Republican congressional
convention for the nomination as dele

him, and should the inclination of the
