NUGENT WILL PROBABLY RE-
 COVER.
Remarkable Success Attended the Tro-
 phining Operation.

Remarkable Success Attended the Tro-
 phining Operation.
 William Nugent, who has been at the hospital for about three weeks suffering from concussion of the brain, resulting from an accident which he met with while riding on trolley car is now on a fair way to recovery. He is do- ing nicely and even surpasses the ex- pectations of the attending physicians. His case was an unusually serious one and when at last there was no other hope of saving his life, the operation of trephining was performed upon him and now it appears to have been very successful. By the force of the blow on the head when the accident occurred, a comparatively large part of the brain matter was crushed and afterwards sloughed away, and his recovery will therefore be the more remarkable. Be- fore the operation was performed his entire left side was paralyzed, but now there is practically no paralysis at all. What his intellect will be when he recovers the physicians cannot now say.
 Harold Good, the bicyclist, who re- ceived a concussion of the brain in 0 collision about ten days ago and who is also at the New Haven hospital, has improved considerably and there is now not much doubt as to his ulti- mate recovery.

TEETH FALL OUT.
IfToo Much Soft Food Is Used.

Dentists and physicians maintain that if mankind always ate soft food the teeth would finally drop out. Rea- sonable lresistance in grinding food, strengthens and adds to the life of the teeth.
 Chewing is the method nature in- tended by which the necessary juices can be brought out of the gums.
 These facts were remembered by the originator of Grape-Nuts, and those who enjoy the new food will appreciate how it is possible to produce a food that it is an absolute pleasure to mas ticate.
 Add to this flavor, crisp and satis- flying, and we'll fed feeling after the meal, and the popularity of Grape Nuts is not difficult to understand.
 They are made by the Postum O., at Battle Creek. Mich, W,

ESTIMATE OF SPRING WHEAT.
Yield of Minnesota and the Two Dako
 taS

taS.
 Minneapolis, Minn. Aug 15. - The Journal prints the annual crop estimate of spring wheat for Minnesota and the two Dakotas, made by it's commercial editor, H. V. Jones.
 Mir. Jones has for several years made a personal inspection of the situation in all three states and has been fortu- nate in approximating the quantity and quality of the yield very closely. He estimates the yield this year for the three states at 190,00O,O0O bushels as against 13000O.O00 bushels in 1897. This is distributed as follows: Mime sota, 8S,00O,00o, acreage, 5.50O,OO0.
 North Dakota, yield, 63S00, ,000; acre. age, 4,7OO,OOO.
 South Dakota, yield 36,Oo0,OoO; acre. age 3000,000.
 Total yield, 1ss,SOoooo; acreage, 1s,- 200, ,O00
 The average yield per acre shows less increase, however, than the total yield would indicate because of an increase of acreage of about 100000 acres.
 The total yield is we'll up to 1858 fa- nous record, but since 1893 there has been a large increase of acreage, so that the yield this year yer acre will not be a. bumper average. The crop is good as to quality.

QUARTERMAsTER's DEpARrMr.

What It Had to do During the War.
 Washington, Aug. 15.-Since the dec- laratlon of war the quartermaster's department has purchased sixteen large vessels and eleven small vessels and has chartered sixty-six ships and boats of various kinds for the transpor tation of troops and supplies to Cuba, Porto Rico, Honolulu and the Philip pines. Upon this department has also devolved the duty of equipping the en- tire volunteer force with all articles of clothing, It has also had to provide for all camp and garrison equipage, ar range for camping grounds, water sup ply and sewerage. It purchases and supplies all the artillery, cavalry and draft horses, mules and wagons, ambu- lances, harness and forage and grain for the animals Thousands of these animals and equipment for them have been purchased during the brief war and about 100000 pounds of hay and grain are now needed to feed the anil mals. All the transportation of the troops by rail as well as by ships is un- der the direction of the quartermas- ter's department. Some criticism has been passed upon the quartermaster's department but the officers believe in the short time allowed them. a great deal has been accomplished in a most satisfactory manner.

SALOON ROBBED.
Burglars in Stamford Get Away With
 Over $1,0OO Worth of Liquors and Ci-

garS.
 Stamford, Aug. 15.-Thomas Mead's liquor saloon at Mianus was entered by burglars last night and robbed of wines, liquors and cigars valued at be- tween $1,OOO and $1,50O The saloon is in a one story building on the west side of Mianus river, and steps lead from the piazza of the saloon to the boat landing. When Mead opened up for business this morning he found the interior in confusion and all his choice liquors and cigars gone.
 An investigation showed that the burglars had affected an entrance by the fanlight over the front door. On Sunday night the Mianus landing was deserted. The burglars were evidently acquainted with this fact, and undoubt edly went to the place in boat. which they moored to the steps, and under cover of darkness carried out the stock and loaded it aboard the boat.

J4MEs WHITCoMR RILEY.

Poets and authors who read from their works seldom attract from the local public so large an audience as the one which listened to James Whitcomb Riley at the Hyperion last night. MT. Riley appeared under the auspices of the New Haven Indian associate The Yale Glee club assisted in the pro- gramme, making it's first appearance for the season. MT. Riley was intro- duced to the audience by Prof. William Lyon Phelps. Unlike most authors, MT. Riley is good elocutionist and fmpersonates rather than recites His best selections were those given in the Hoosier dialect and the poems of child hood MT. Riley's manner reminds one constantly of Sol Smith Russell He has gift of dry, droll humor and the usual complementary gift of pathos. He has magnetic personality and when he laughs the audience laughs with him. He gave his selections irl an informal, off-hand manner that gave the affair certain social atmosphere The audience was delighted and each selection was enthusiastically applaud ed. The Glee club sang nine times, four numbers on the programme, and five ercores, a reasonable number for the Glee club. The club is not i'll per- feet condition yet, but there seems to be an unusual number of good voices, especially in the first tenor. Frank Sheehan of West Haven is the presi- dent this year.
