DOES HE own THE VILLAGE?
NORDSTROM AND HIS DANCE
HOUSE NUISANCE.
He Defies the Law, Gets Another
License. and Continues
Business.

John Nordstrom, the proprietor of the
dlsgraceful Third-street dance-house
evidently thinks he is above the law.
on Monday night the City Trustees
revoked his license, but last night he
opened up again, and ran his shebang
in full blast. There was music, there
was dancing just as before, but it is
just possible no strong liquor was sold
at least, not openly
1t seems that yesterday Nordstrom
went to the City Collectors office and
was given a mercantile" license, per-
mttlng him to sell soda, lemonade, etc
Under that license he resumed his
dance-hall nuisance in defiance of the
authorities and despite the order Of
Chief of Police Dwyer to close up the
place.
Ii remains to be seen whether or not
this man can do-as he is said to have
boasted he would do-run his place in
spite of the authorities. And it would
be We'll to have inquiry made as to the
authority of the City Collector to give
a license for a saloon of any character
TO man whose saloon license had just
been revoked because his place was
VIGOROUSLY a public nuisance.
The question is: 'Is the place any
less a nuisance now, with only soda
water in sight, than it was before ?
Who is to determine that point, the
authorities or the vendor Of licenses ?''

CHASED BY A MOB.
A Ripple Of Excitement at Perkins
Last Night

There was quite a bit of excitement
at Perkins last night about IL o'clock.
A negro named Charles Anderson was
detected in an attempt to commit an
assault on a boy, and was arrested by
Constable Warren and Samuel Pugh.
He was taken before Justice Warren
on formal complaint, and was COM
mitted to the custody of the Sheriff
pending further proceedings.
The facts soon became known to
many citizens, mob was formed and
party of horsemen started off to
overtake the officers and their prisoner.
About midnight, however, the officers
reached the County Jail with the negro.
They reported that the pursuing citi-
zens did not intend to wreak vengeance
on the prisoner, their real purpose being,
apparently to frighten him and impress
on him the fact that it would not be
safe for him to ever again show up in
that neighborhood.

INSTINCT.
Taste is Frequently Valuable Guide in
Selecting Food.

Selecting Food.
A little child's taste is often reli-
able guide to palatable and desirable
food, and it is worth ones while to OBJ
serve how the little folks take to
Grape Nuts, the famous new food made
by the Postum Co., at Battle Greek,
Mich.
They eat it freely without addition
Of sugar, for it has the peculiar, mild
but satisfying sweet of grape sugar
and the natural taste either Of child
or adult recognizes at once food that
will agree with and richly nourish the
system.
They are generally unable to explain
why, but instinct seems to tell the un-
erring truth when Grape-Nuts are tast-
ed and a few days use will show
strength and health as the result Of
food that not only has the delicious
favor, but is made of those parts of
the food supply furnished by the Crea-
tor that tend to easy absorption by the
system.

That, In itself. was hard. but com.

OF two weeks. there was no hardship
about II.
OF course she expected 10 hear from
him In "a nice. long letter. before that
week was up. hut no letter came that
week; aud. what was worse. there was
report of terrible train robbery In

his letter had gone astray and that
Minnie had been bitterly offended NJ
the abruptness OF the little note he had
left for her. began TO think Of her much
as she had begun to think Of him.
II was very much the old style Of
lovers misunderstanding. And then
even the usual candid friend was on

and he wrote to Tom. through the fif.n,
to tell him. ~ he put II. "how things

OF course.
Now Mrs Sinclair says that when
Tom got home only few days after
the mysterious behavior OF that door,
and came straight TO sec her you
could have knocked her down with q

She had taken the sign Of the door
to mean that Tom was dead and buried
away out beyond the Great Divide, for
she had no skill IN Interpreting pre-
ternntural signs. and had been ashamed
to talk about the opening Of the door.
for fear OF being disbolicved and laugh

nut fortunately nobody tried to hit
her with a feather. So when she had

Tom alive, Of course. Tom. on hia side.

IL all came out.
