ADJUSTMENTS.


Mr.. Plaster of Paris entertained
an audience of his friends at Harper
theatre last night. The play is one
of numerous funny situations and the
company includes several clever
speciality people.
The Andrews Opera company is to
fill an engagement at Harper's
theatre tonight and tomorrow night.
This evening Flotow's delightful
Martha will be sung, and tomor-
row evening Mascagni's famous prize
opera, .'Cavalleria Rusticana," and
Gilbert & Sullivan's merry comic
opera, Pirates of Penzance. -"
The Andrews company consists of 40
people, and its leading members are
of well-known repute in the field of
opera. No better assurance of their
capabilities is needed than was at
tested by the successful run they had
in Philadelphia last spring and sum-
mer. In'the matter OF accessories and
appropriate costumes they are
equipped most generously.
AS it has been previously an
nounced, James McAlpin and his own
company with band and orchestra will
be at Harper's theatre Wednesday
evening presenting his latest comedy
success, Hans Hanson" The piece
is conceded by all TO be the best of its
kind ever written. 1t glitters with
humor and wit and is replete with
bright. up-to-date specialties. The

BLAMES THE DISPATCHER
Coroner's jury Holds Jones Responsible
for Oxford wreck.

Coroner's jury Holds Jones Responsible
for Oxford wreck.
The coroner's jury, which has been
in session at Iowa City Investigating
the recent disastrous wreck on the
Rock Island read near that place, has
completed its work. The verdict
reads:
I'VE, the jury, find that the de-
ceased came to their death by the
wreck caused by a collision of trains
nun bered S07 and SO2 Tuesday morn
ing. Sept. -, 1899, the wreck beip q
on the g K. |. u p. Railroad CON
pany's tracks near Oxford, Iowa, and
that the said collision was caused by
the orders issued to the conductors o.
said trains by j. r Jones, assistant
train dispatcher of Des Moines, and
that the said orders issued show care
lessness or neglect on the part of said
j. r. Jones in the performance of his
duties"
Des Moines papers state that Jones
has left that city, presumably on a
vacation, as he could not be found at
his residence there when a reporter
called TO interview him. The Rock
Island official secuted the suggestion
that he was in hiding to avoid ap-
pearance before the coroner's Jury.
1t is announced that the evidence
taken by the latter will probablv be
turned over the grand jury of John
son county,

In hot weather a meat breakfast is
not always desirable; one looks rather
to some more cooling food, such as
fruit and Ger. a !.
One of the great advantages of
Grape-Nuts lies in the fact that it is
ready cooked and can be served cold
at once.
Treated with cream it is as delic-
ious as CONNECTION, and at the same
time furnishes the user with the
needed food elements of the most per-
feet character and com bined in q sci
entitic manner.
One of the food PARTICLES in Grape
Nuts is true natural phosphate of pot
ash as furnished in certain parts of
the field grains and this is the ele-
ment used by nature to change albu-
men into the soft gray substance with
which the brain and nerve centers are
filled and which must be replaced
daily, as it is used up by the activities
of the body.
Steady users of Grape-Nuts are
nervy, brainy and healthy people.
Wise selection of food is duty every
one owes self, and those dependent
upon US. The Postum company at
Battle Creek make Grape Nuts, and
all first-class grocers sell it.

WANT BETTER SALARIES.
Letter Carriers to Make an Appeal to Con-



gress.
Letter carriers in Rock Island start
on their duties with salary of $500
per year, and in the course of year
or two if they are efficient they are
raised until they reach close to the
81 900 mark. If this city had a popu-
luton of 20 600 people, the maximum
salary would be 81. 200.
At the National Letter Carriers
association held at Scranton, Pa, last
week, it was decided to appeal to con-
gress asking that all letter carriers
throughout the country should get a
uniform salary of 81, 200. The claim
is that the men in the smaller cities
have to work harder than those in the
larger ones, in that they have to COW
or a much larger territory. A bill
will be introduced in congress to make
81, 200 the uniform salary.
