hostlers and plowboys won the baton
of field marshal. But it is something
surprising, in view of the small army
of West Point graduates and the tre-
mendous roll of volunteer officers OF
high rank who sought regular appoint
ments at the end of the civil war, that
so many of the brilliant leaders in Cuba
originally took up arms as private SOL
diers
So much has been told of the career
of General H. w. Lawton in warfare
against the Indians that to the average
reader it will be news to learn that he
served throughout the West Virginia
campaigns of 1851 as an enlisted man
in the Ninth Indiana three months vol
unteers. He was engaged at Philippi,
Laurel Hill and Carrick's Ford. and
when the three months men We're reor-
.ganized became a commissioned officer
of the Thirtieth Indiana. In that regi-
lnent he won several promotions and
was mustered out in 1865 with the ac-
tual rank of lieutenant colonel A few
months afterward he began all over
again as second lieutenant in the regu-
lar army. In the Santiago campaign

had never exercised command in ac-
tual warfare higher than that of cap

whom the correspondents and other
outsiders praise as 1.-THE noblest Roman
of them all. Army officers are chary
of very high tributes. but all of them
who know Chaffee personally declare
that he is .'every inch a soldier, a
phrase that comedies every military vir
tue to the man in uniform aimed at.
Any one at all familiar with the his
tory of Napoleon army who should be
in the presence of General Chaffee with
out calling up the image of some of the
fighting marshals promoted on the field
by the Little Corporal would seem
deficient in imagination. His face is so
strongly of the military type that it is
un-American. except when compared
with classic types like mad An

Chaffee was favored Of fortune when
winning his spurs in the ranks of
the Sixth regular cavalry. He enlisted

ter at Bull Run and he was two years
getting on shoulder straps. A few days
after he put on the second star. given
him for his work at Ell Caney. made
his acquaintance at the headquarters of
Lawton' s division From first refusing
to talk to newspaper man. as l had
been warned that he would do, he so far

simply smash his jaw for him. Chaffee
got through with an unsmashed jaw,
and the soldier threw his hat rs high as
any over the news that the 'slittle cuss'
OF El Caney had been promoted to ma
jor general.
Strange IS it may seem in man from
the ranks Chaffee adheres tenaciously
to what are known as "old army
ideas, that is the traditions founded by
blue blooded West Point men. In Cuba
Chaffee did his own scouting. alone,
without escort, just as he had done

Cuba, but ne has steadily refused to
pass word of comment that could be
construed into criticism of anybody or
anything.

EXAMINATION REPRESENTATION
Tells What You Have Been Doing

Tells What You Have Been Doing.
A food expert at Battle Creek, Mich,
connected with the Postum Cereal Co.,
Lin, has produced food especially
intended for rebuilding the brain. II
Is well known fact among physicians
that examination Of perspirat!on and
urine will tell whether the individual
has been actively using tho brain or
not.
Brain work exhausts the phosphates
which appear In the excreta above mem
toned. Administration of inorganic
phosphorus or phosphates does not
readily supply the waste, for nature de-
mands that phOsphates be made up and
blended In food which she furnishes.
Advantage has been taken Of this
knowledge and a scientific selection OF
part OF the grain has been made, and
these have been put through mechanical
processes parallel to the processes
through which food Is passed In Its
management by the human digestive or
gars. Therefore the new food Is not
only ready TO serve without cooking. but
1t has passed through the process where
the starcbes have been changed to
grape-sugar. and that with the protelds.
organic phosphates. ETC.. are al once
ready TO be quickly absorbed and turn
ed to use in vitalizing and nourlshlng
the parts OF the body like brain, solar
plexus and the delicate nerve centres.
The new food has been given the
name of Grape-Nuts. and far from
being a "Crank's Food" "Invallds
Food" or anything Of that sort. It is
a crisp. sweet novelty, charming to the
athlete, brain worker, epicure or In
valid.
Grape-Nuts can be had In packages
OF Grocers. and trinl dish for breakfast
will be found n pleasant experience.

President Padden and hfessrs. WEIGH,

The conference began ut s o'clock and
did not end until LAO o'clock this

conference that leaked out after 1t
had ended was that the company I'M
posed upon the strikers representa-

We're given no information and both

reseEtatives agreed to withhold any in

positive that something was accom-
pllshed at the conference. Had the
conference been entirely frultless, the
strikers would have rushed to the
newspapers with statement, just as
they did when the last conference was
held. So this in itself Is an encourage
ing sign.
Early this morning it was learned
that the conferences adjourned to meet
again this morning at the chamber of
commerce rooms, when 1t Is believed
the strike will be brought to an end.
An official Of the road stated after
the conference closud that the visiting
directors would lelve the city this
morning. leaving the impression that
the negotiations wire off. Later, from
4 source equally az good, 1t was learn
cd that Messrs. Conticrman. Moore and
the other visiting directors would re-
main for the second conference this
morning.
Last night rumor became current in
Wheeling and the surrounding towns
that the strike had been settled. The
InteilIgencer received nearly u hum
