A famous woman in Chicago says,
II am so much in love with Grape
Nuts that l presume l often bore
people telling them about the new
food. You certainly will make an
everlasting fortune from the sale of
Grape-Nuts. The article is destined
to become the best known cereal on
the market"
1t can hardly be called a cereal, for
it is not like the common rolled wheat
or rolled oats, but it is in the form
of granules, ranging from the size of
a pin head, up to twice or three times
that size.
1t is thoroughly cooked at the facto-
~, and requires no preparation what
ever. but can be served instantly with
hot milk or hot cream to make a hot
mush, or cold cream can be poured in
the side of the saucer and very deli
cious crisp food is the result. Not
only is the taste fascinating, but the
nutritiyc value of the food is very
great, is shown by the improved
condition physically and mentally, Of
those who used it ten days or two
weeks.

BATTLE is A SURE THING.
Leonard Arranges Details of the Ryan
stiff Fight.

II
Jack Leonard, manager of the Tri-
City Athletic club, talked with
Tommy Ryan last night over the long
distance telephone and finally ar
ranged all the details of the contest
with Billy Stiff. For time it looked
as if there might still be a hitch over
the matter. as Ryan in u letter said
he thought he would rather 90 Is
rounds. Leonard did not want less
than 20, and so wired RYAN. Then
he called him up on the telephone, and
in five minutes Ryan said he would
today send on his forfeit of $3.50 to
Malachy Hogan, who is agreed upon
US stakeholder. The club put up its
part of the forfeit and Tom Hanton
did likewise on behalf of Stiff. Leon
ard yesterday named April II as the
date for the contest. This, it is
thought, will not conflict with any
other dates in or around Davenport.
RYAN said he would like to get some
GOOD place TO train near Davenport.
and this Leonard agreed to find.

Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at once on

of Chamberlain Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some re-
lief until the doctor should arrive.
In Il few hours he returned, SAYING
the doctor need not come, as the child
was much better. The druggist, Otto

MAY IMPORT MINERS
INJUNCTION OF KANSAS COURT DIS
SOLVED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE,
Who Says states May Bar Out Con-
but Cannot Stop Working People.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept 5. - Judge
John H. Rogers, OF the Federal Court, has
delivered an opinion in the strike contro-
versy at Fort Smith involving the question
of state and federal prerogatives. He de-
cided that the United States District Court
has Jurisdiction over the action of the
State court in issuing an injunction re-
straining commercial companies from i'm
porting miners and restraining railroad
companies from transporting such miners
from another State into Arkansas, and
therefore dissolved the injunction issued by
Judge Rowe, of the State court.
The opinion is made up largely of quota
tions from eminent authorities on the SUBJ
ject of interstate commerce and the extent
Of the police powers of a State. He said
that while the citizens of State were
empowered to carry arms for their common
good, no State has a right to prohibit the
citizens Of another State from doing the
same thing. The petition for injunction
alleged that the coal companies were in
the act of importing armed men Of a low
and lawless character, but 1t failed to show
in what way they were armed or in what
way they were low and lawless. A State
has a right to prohibit the importation OF
convicts, lepers, idiots and persons affiict-
ed with contagious diseases, but 1t has no
right to prevent the incoming of men from
other States not within the classes enumer-
ated. The fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States guaran-
teed equal protection to ALL and under that
amendment persons had a perfect right to
go from one State into another in the pur-
suit Of employment, and it was not within
the power of State to stop them so long
as they did not belong to the interdicted
claeceS

POSTOFFICE CLERKS.
Atlantic City Chosen as the Place Of
Next Meeting.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. AT to-day's
session of the national convention of
postoffice clerks the secretary reported
that 1l9 branches failed TO pay the regular
per capita tax. and recommended that they
be dropped. This was favorably acted upon,
leaving only 165 branches in the national
association. The treasurer's report says the
year just passed has been most successful,
50 Ear as results obtained for the benefit of
the postoffice clerks throughout the United
States. Receipts were sl.744. about equal TO
the expenditures. The treasurer says that
loose business methods and extravaganza
have placed the association in "A poor finan-
cial condition. The convention. I'm execu-
tive session. discussed civil service reform.
A question of paramount interest was
brought up copcerning the amalgamation of
the National Association and the United
Association. Messrs. Richards and Clark,
of Philadelphia, and Vale. of Pittsburg, ad-
vocated the union Of the organizations. Mr..
Richards suggested that committee be ap-
pointed by each organization to further this
project. After considerable discussion the
matter was left in allegiance for the present.
Atlantic City was chosen for next year

EDITOR PAKEMAN'S ARREST.
Sir John Gordon Sprigg Thinks the
TransvaaI Blundered.

CAPE TOWN. Sept. 5.-Right Hon. Sir
John Gordon Sprigg, former premier of
Cape Colony. and now leader Of the oppo-
sition in the Cape Colony House Of Assem-
bly,, in the course of an interview to-day
regarding the action of the Transvaal state
attorney Mr.. SHUTS. in the proceedings
against the editor Of the Transvaal Leader
recently arrested on charge of treason, said
that a considerable disparity existed be-
tween the official accounts of the affair
and the real facts. He virtually declared
that the whole incident was a mistake, but
he pointed out that, according to the news
paper reports, the public prosecutor went
from johannesburg to sustain essentially
the same charge Immediately after his con-
ference with the state attorney. Sir John
concludes. therefore, either that Mr.. SHUTS
has no influence over his own subordinate
or that the official statements aiming to
minimize the significance of the arrest are
false. In any event, the arrest, in the opin-
ion of Sir. John. is calculated to do more
injury than good both here and in England.

DEBATE IN THE vOLKsRAAD.
Burghers Want to Know Why British
Troops Are on the Border.

PRETORIA, Sept. 5.-The Volksraad to-
day accepted Mr.. Coasters motion to fix
the debates to grow out of the interpella-
ton of the government as to the assembling
of British troops along the Transvaal bor-
ders for Thursday next. In presenting his
motion Mr.. Coester referred to the Jane
sen raid and other outrages and murders
committed by British troops" as leading
him to distrust the present concentration.
He declared that the convention of 1884 did
not contain the suzerainty stipulation. and
he maintained that Mr.. Chamberlain had
broken that convention by interfering in the
internal affairs of the republic. Other
burghers supported Mr.. Coester. saying that
while negotiations were proceeding all the
British colonies were offering armed as
sistance.
"And must the Transvaal remain silent?''
exclaimed burgher. 1T Is opposed to
Christianity to conduct friendly negotiations
ard yet mobilize troops. We must know
why the British troops are on our borders. "
The motion to wait until Thursday for the
governments reply was agreed to unan
imously.

THE COLISEUM DISASTER.
Coroner Holds the Contractors Re-
sponsible for Eleven Deaths.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The Pittsburg Bridge
Company and Charles NJ. Peasley, superin-
tendent, were held responsible by a coro-
ner's jury to-day for the death of eleven
men, who were killed in the collapse of the
arches of the Coliseum building, in course
of construction, on Aug. rs. After hearing
evidence all day and after over an hours
elaboration the jury returned the follow
ing verdict:
I'VE, the jury, from the evidence pre-
sented. believe that had proper precautions
been taken the accident would not have
happened and We therefore censure the
Pittsburg Bridge Company, of Pittsburg. in
that respect. We further believe. from the
evidence presented, that Charles NJ. Peas
ley, superintendent Of said Pittsburg Bridge
Company. was guilty of gross carelessness
and neglect and recommend that the mat
ter be referred to the proper authorities for
further investigation"
The coroner says he will take no further
action in the matter and that 1T remains
with the states attorney or one of the de-
partments of the city government to decide
whether criminal action shall be COM
menced against the corporation or person
censured.

Union Masons ON Strike.

PUERTO PLATA, San Domingo, Sept. 5.
General Isidro Jiminez landed here to-
day, having come from Cuba, touching at
Cape Haitien on the way. He was received
at the water side by All immense throng.
His reception, arranged by General Ramon
Imbert, was enthusiastic. The news Of
Jiminez's arrival has been sent into the
interior and 1t is believed that settled order
and peace will soon be restored.
General Jiminez was accompanied by fifty
armed revolutionists, who were taken on
board the Georges Croise at Cape Haitien.
The populace hailed him as the country's
deliverer. A delegation Of a hundred OFF,
Gals and prominent merchants, headed by
the governor of the city, went on board the
steamer to greet him, returning after an
absence of nine years. The entire popula-
ton was at the wharf, and escorted his
carriage to headquarters, where a reception
was held this afternoon, thousands waiting
for hours in the intense heat to assure him
of their support.
Tonight there was q popular demonstra-
ton, with procession of soldiers and citi-
zens and speeches of welcome Puerto
Plata and Santiago are Jiminez strongholds.
There is some uncertainty regarding polit-
ical conditions in the southern districts.
and there are rumors of other aspirants
planning to defeat General Jimnez in that
quarter.
The local press says: 1.-THE coming of
General Jiminez completes the evolution.
There has been no revolution. 1t Is safe to
expect an immediate revival of business %
Sentiments like these are uttered on all
sides, and there are no discordant notes.
Among the revolutionists who arrived
with General Jiminez were DR.. Henriquez
Carvajal, General Hernandez and General
I.imardo, all persons of influence and in
sympathy with the movement to elect jim
inez as President. At Cape Haitien General
Jiminez offered free passage on his vessel to
those and others.
To-day vessel arrived bringing num-
Der of Dominicans who were exiled by the
Heureaux government. All accept the new
regime. The number of such is steadily
increasing.
A circular couched in ELUSIVE terms and
approved by the local authorities was wide
ly distributed. referring to General Jiminez
as the Regeneration of Santo Domingo"
All the principal citizens and the leading
officials have personally paid him their re-
spects.

Postal Arrangements Unsatisfactory
to Many Merchants.

to Many Merchants.
HAVANA, Sept. 5.-The present postal
arrangements are causing considerable dis
satisfaction owing to the large amount Of
business done with the Southern States and
also to the fact that most of the Ameri-
cans doing business here are Southerners.
Under the new law all mail matter for the
Southern States must go by way. of New
York city. This Is considered a great hard
ship. Moreover, owing to the number Of
cases of yellow fever at Key West the
Cubans are anxious to quarantine against
that port. Not that they believe there Is any
danger, but as a sort of retaliatory meas
ure, although the Cuban doctors assert that
when yellow fever gets footing In Florida
it is of a much more malignant type than
Cuban yellow fever and that there Is great
er danger of bringing 1t here than taking it
there.
The Miami line managers have requested
the Department of Posts to suspend the ex-
listing mail contract, as at this time Of the
year it is exceedingly Improbable. owing TO
the fact that the company cannot take pas
sengers from Cuba. The matter Is under
consideration, and IL Director of Posts
Rathbone grants the request. 1t will mean
only three mails a week from Havana until
November
The strike Of nlasons still continues. The
strikers say they hope TO win. and have the
support Of other trades unions. The num-
Der of union men on strike IL 4.50o Out OF
fifty masters, five have agreed to the terms
of the union, which will not supply masons
TO any, unless half the number OF the en-
Movers agree to the terms of the union
The men have based their demands on the
great profits masters and contracting ma
sons are reported to make. and the cost OF
living In Havana. which they say Is high
They have offered to settle the matter on
