WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK ?

Don't give them tea or coffee, Have you tried
the new food drink called Grain-O? 1t is
delicious and nourishing and takes the place
of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the

pure grains, and when properly prepared
tastes like the choice grades Of coffee but costs
about as much. All grocers sell it, 15c and

SUBSTANCE OF SPANS REPLY.
Independence of Cuba Can Not Now
BE Granted.

Washington, April ?. The reply Of
Spain Is said, in effect, to be:
The independence OF Cuba means the
parting or eessiOn of Spanish territory,
which can not be done without the con
sent OF the Spanish cortes, which will not
be in session until April "A.
The counter proposition is submitted
that the Cuban matter shall be settled up
on basis equitable among nations. The
United States is asked To give Spain time
to treat with the insurgents and ascertain
what can Ne done in the nature of peace
ful settlement.
Senators who know the nature of the
reply say it is very shrewd piece of di-
Plomacy and made for its effect upon the
world at large. 1t is said the reply is I'M
satisfactory to the president and he does
not believe it will be satisfactory to con.
gress.
Administration officers feel that after
Monday congress is likely to take matters
into its own hands and fear is expressed
that there will be disagreement between
the branches of government which would
be serious at thsi critical point
No one at the capitol has undertaken to
speak for the president although those
who have seen him say his hopes of a
peaceful solution of difficulty have been
disappointed by the reply of Spain.

TELLS OF THE LATEST STRIKES
Ex-MayOr Wood of seattle Completes.
q Long Trip.

Seattle, April 2.-Ex- Mayor William D.
Wood has arrived here from the lower Yu-
kon, having made a trip of over 1900 miles
over ice and snow with dog team, with
the thermometer ranging from 10 to 90 de-
grees below zero. November II Mr.. Wood
and H. w. Carr started up the Yukon
FROM the mouth of the Tanana river. They
stopped at Fort Yukon and Circle City
several days and arrived at Dawson Feb
ruary II. On February "a they started
from Dawson to this city. Two days out
from Dawson they met the Canadian
mounted police with a large amount Of
mail, which has been eagerly expected at
Dawson. Mr.. Wood says that from in
FestigatiOn made by him he estimates the
spring cleanup in the Klondike district
will run between Sl0,OOO,OOO and $l5 900.
900. The greatest sensation of the win
ter at Dawson has been the discovery Of
coarse gold on the hillsdes between Bo-
nanza and Eldorado and between the Big
and Little SkoOkum gulches. The largest
nugget so far found. 1886, was found on
this high ground. Miners seem at a loss
to account for this deposit on ground that
is from 200 to 300 feet above the bedrock
of adjacent creeks. 1t is not yet known
whether such deposits are general or mere
ly olcal in this instance.

ABOUT PAPAL MEDIATION
AN UNOFFICIAL ETF0l
Not an ArmIztice, bat . Truce, .
Truce of God Agreed UPoR--A
High spanish Dignitary 1Slks
With u Correspondent at Madrid.

Madrid, April 4,-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has just had
an interview with u high parsonage Of
great authority, who cleared up many
discrepancies in previous reports, showing
just how the papal intervention occurred.
Unfortunately the name Of this high per
sonage can not be quoted, but NO one is
better qualified to speak with knowledge
OF the subject. This minister says:
"There is no papal telegram whatever.
What happened was that the Spanish rep
resentative at the Vatican was approach
ed by Cardinal RampOlli, who told him
the president OF the United States had
allowed it to be understood that papal in
PREVENTION would be acceptable. The
Spanish ambassador wired here to that
effect, and indicated that he had sent a
categorical reply TO President Mckinley,
the terms having previously been concert
ed to the last point consistent win Spain :
honor, in which We were certain the pope
would respects the rights and honor Of
Spain, and agreed to his intervention. 1t
was impossible for our country to offer
an armistiee at the suggestion Of fog
eign power, but when the father Of Chris
tendon, without force but with vast NOR
al power, offered intervention, we could
not refuse it, knowing well that reliance
might be placed upon his independent
Judgment. So, not an armistiee but a
truce, truce OF God, has been agreed
upon. This, however, requires action
upon the part Of the United States, con
sequential action to our concessions. The
rebels have been, not designedly, we be-
lieve, assisted and Outraged by the pres
enee OF American warships i'll the neigh
borhOod of the island. A continuance OF
this would initiate against the pope 5
good Offices and against the hope OF peace.
We know President Mckinley has work
ed for peace, but an influence has been
growing like rising tide, and 1t is now
question whether any barrier or EN-
bankment he would set across its pro-
gress would be strong enough TO with.
stand its force. Spain has shown her
willingness to secure peace by concessions
to the last point consistent with her ma
tional honor Tue future depends upon
the power of the American government

Frank Lyman Asks for a Receiver
for snaelteF Company.

Helena, Mont, April 2.-Fmnk Lyman
Of New York has begun suit in the Unit

stockholders in the company of manipu.
lating its assets to bolster up other com,
Panies in which they as individuals are
interested. The company in 1890 pooled
its stock and and took 5623 shares, of a
par value Of 500 each, in the United
Smelling and and Refining Company OF
New Jersey, which also owns a smelter in
Great Falls and u refinery in Chicago
Lyman claims that the trustees of the
old company have since then received
$SO0,0O as dividends on the stock in the
new company, owned by the old one, but
that instead of paying dividends they
guaranteed bonds of the Livingston Coal
and Coke Company for $3.50, 900, and have
paid $4,000 interest and placed $6O, 900
in sinking fund; that they built a pow
er plant of no value to the company, but
intended TO furnish power to another COM
pany in which the trustees were interest
ed, thus expanding $l5O.OOO; that they
loaned the First National bank, in which
they were interested, 100000 after it was
insolvent, and that to further obtain mon
ey they mortgaged the property for $780,
600. Lyman wants his share Of the $780,
600 and receiver for the company. Ex-
