BURTON MAKES DENIAL.
Says Kansas Delegation Was Not
Tom. Platt,s Catspaw.

Since J. R. Burton has returned from
the Philadelphia convention he has been
charged with putting on a good many
airs, the malice thereby caused being re-
sponsible for the circulation of the rumor
particularly the chairman, were used by
Tom Plat and others as a catspaw for
the Roosevelt boom. To this charge Mr..
Burton says:
These charges that Kansas was in
weighed into working for Roosevelt are
absolutely untrue. Kansas acted indie
pendently of Platt or any one else. We
did what Kansas wanted US to do. The
Kansas delegation was the most har-
moniouS at the national convention. 1t
acted as a unit on every proposition. The
great good that the Kansas delegation did
in declaring, for Roosevelt was to cause
the other delegations to take courage and
follow US. The Kansas delegation is well
pleased with its success at the national
convention. Mckinley and Roosevelt can
not be beaten. They will be elected by a
larger popular vote than any Republican
ticket has received since Grants second

LITTLE FOR CONGRESS-.
Geary Fusionists Start His Boom
Officially.

The Geary county Populist central
committee has started a boom for the
nomination of Col. E. C. Little for con-
gresham at large. The committee at a
recent meeting endorsed Colonel Little for
this office, and the following circular let
ter is being sent out to all the counties In
the state:
junction City Kas.. June %. 1900.-At
a meeting of the committee of the Peo-
pies party here resolutions were unani-
press Col Ed c. Little into service as
Congressman at large, and their delegates
to the state convention were instructed
to use every effort to secure his nominal
ton for that office.
They think it is high time that this
gentleman who dOnned the uniform of a
soldier and fought so bravely and gallant
ly to uphold the dignity of our flag and
country, receive some recognition and
thanks for his services.
"A gallant soldier and one Of the most
state, everybody comedies that Colonel
Iittle's acceptance of place on the
ticket would materially strengthen it and
be a proper endorsement of this patriotic
and able gentleman, who has been so
shamefully slandered and who so hero
ically suffered for the people.
They are we'll satisfied that II the
colonel is nominated by anything like a
general and spontaneous movement he
will see that it is his duty to accept and
will make hard fight
Letters have been received from va

that there is a disposition to take up the
movement, and if the colonel is nominated
he will sweep this section of the state

STRIKE IS BROKEN.
End of Chicago Labor Troubles
Is in Sight.

Chicago. June 27-The backbone of the
great building trades strike in this city
is broken. 1t is now only a question of
hours when the $4,000 workmen who have
been idle for many months will be
ranging agreements for their return to
work. The initial move for ending the
lockout was taken at 2:15 O'Clock this
morning by the bricklayers' and stone
masons union, the strongest labor or
ganization in the building trades, which
voted after an all-night meeting to with
draw from the building trades council.
The council will be notified of the with
drawal of the bricklayers. This afternoon
the arbitration committee of the brick
layers will meet the arbitration committee
of the Chicago masons and builders as
ISOLATION and sign a working agreement
to extend to April, 1902 and the brick
layers will Immediately be given work.
The action of the brickayers' union was
the result of the report of the conference
committee in which recommended ton
that the union sever its connection with
the central body because that organization
had been unable to bring about a settle
ment of the labor troubles.
AS the bridge and structural iron work
ers, gas filters, plumbers, plasterers and
bod carriers unions have been the
verge of quitting the trades council for
over a week, they will now in all proba-
bility follow the course of the bricklay-
ers. The bricklayers have membership
of over 8, 900.

OIL AND GOLD MINES.
Visitors Speak Of the Food Used.

Major Desborough. writing from
Fresno, Calf, says: ct found Grape
Nuts food As miles in the mountains in
an old oil camp, where the whole crowd
10 men, eat it for breakfast every day
and every Sunday have it in a pudding
for dinner"
General E. c. Machen. an old Confed-
crate soldier, has just returned from an
extended trip through the Southwest
and along the Mexican border. investi-
eating mining properties. He says: mo
matter where I travelled always found
it possible to get Grape-Nuts and Pos
tum Food Coffee of which am very
fond"
The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is es-
pecially valued by campers and frontier
people, as it is already cooked and ready
for instant service. and being concen-
trated, furnishes unusual strength and
nourishment, in a small quantity. 1t is
believed that a man can travel farther
and exercise more continuously, on
few teaspoons of Grape-Nuts than on
like quantity of any other food known.
The reason for this is that there are
selected elements in Grape-Nuts that
furnish direct to the brain and nerve
centers, the necessary particles to re-
build the delicate gray matter contain
ed in these parts, therefore a man con-
tinuously fed on Grape-Nuts is abso-
lutely certain of a good condition of the
nervous system, which is really the con-
troller of the entire body.
