SEND TO RED CROSS.
Telegram From Miss Spradlin Abou
Texas Relief Funds.

Major Anderson of the Commercial
club received the following telegram this
morning from Miss Alice Spradlin, the
Red Cross nurse sent to Galveston by
the ladies of Topeka:
1.-THE American National Red Cross
society, headed by it's beloved president,
Miss Clara Barton, is now on the field
authorities Theyt-are grasping the sit
uation in all it's details and are preparing
to meet every need. The name guaran-
tees that all funds will be distributed
wisely and well, as a representative OF
Kansas sent out by Topeka. l would
deem it special favor if all funds that
have been sent by the Commercial club
could be diverted to the National Red
Cross. Your orders to that effect would
be much appreciated
m. ALICE SPRADLIN-"
The supplies sent by the Commercial
club reached Galveston last Sunday, and
it is thought quite likely that the pro-
visions sent by Topeka have already
been distributed. A message has been
sent to the mayor of Houston in regard
to this and if it is found that the Topeka
quest will be made that the committee
who have the supplies turn them over
to be distributed under the direction Of
Miss Spradlin.
Tee Commercial club committee re-
ceived cash donations to the amount of
$119.70 above the sum required to buy
the provisions which were sent to Gal
weston This was turned over to the
ladies to forward to Miss Spradlin. This
borrowed from the Red Cross fund, and
with the return of $119 the affairs of the
Commercial club relief committee are
about wound up

OLNEY AND CLEVELAND.
Chicago Democrats Will Hear Ex-Sec-
rotary and Expect Ex-President.

Chicago. Sept 21-The Iroquois club
has asked Grover Cleveland and Rich
ard OIney to speak here soon under it's
auspices against Mckinley and for
Bryan
Mr. Olney has promised to do SO. There
is doubt as to Mr.. Cleveland, but the
club has hopes, and has, it is intimated,
even a little encouragement to believe
that it will hear from him"
Mr. Cleveland is not likely to come
here for a speech, but he may write a
letter, or maybe only a telegram for
public reading on the occasion of Mr..
Olney's speaking here. Some expression
from him is confidently expected.
1t has been represented to Mr.. Cleve-
land that one word from him for Mr..
Bryan viii kill two birds with one stone
virtually insure Democratic victory in
November by bringing all Cleveland
and Gold Democrats into line, and end
free silver talk by putting himself and
his followers back in the party.

POpulist Nominees Say They Can
Not Pay Assessments.

The trouble of the Populists over cam
paign funds continues. OHM w. Breid-
enthal, nominee for governor, was as
sessed $500, Major A. NJ. Harvey, nom
inee for lieutenant governor, was as
sessed 5000. Levi Hamburger nominee
for superintendent, was assessed $780,
E. J. Westgate. nominee for auditor,was
assessed $500, and J. D. Botkin was as
sessed $500. Not one of the candidates
has paid the assessment. Mr.. Breiden-
thai tells the committee that he can not
afford to pay the sum asked, and A1ajol
Harvey and the other candidates make
similar excuses
The result is that the financial
strfngency at Populist headquarters
continues.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also Few Facts ON the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same line
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is in
his glory, and arguments and theories
galore advanced to prove that meat was
never intended for human stomachs, and
almost make us believe that our sturdy
ancestors who lived four score years in
robust health On roast beef, pork and
mutton must have been grossly ignorant
of the laws Of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food
