A cALIFoRNIAN's


A gentleman in Oak Park, Cal.
Henry Pockman. took up the ques
ton of food to see if hecould recover
from an old case of dyspepsia from
which nux vomica, pePsin and other
remedies gave him no relief.
He started in with Grape Nuts
breakfast food and his dyspepsia
quickly disappeared. He also left off
the use of coffee and took Postum
Food Coffee in its place. He writes
that he has been put right, perfectly
we'll and going to remain so by con-
tinuing the use of the Grape Nuts
food and Postum Coffee.
1t is worth anyone's trial, who de-
sires 10 be we'll, to change the diet,
and particular to leave off coffee.
Grape-Nuts food contains elements
that rebuild the grey matter in the
nerve centers and brain and give one
q feeling of reserve strength AMI

FLOUR MILLS TO CLOSE.
Minneapolis Firms Will Shut Down
for an Indefinite Pe-riod-ShOrt-
age In the Demand.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. S.-Nearly
one-half of the -four nils operating
in Minneapolis will close for an in
definite length of time. The Wash
burn-Crosby and the Pillsbury Mill
ing companies report that 40 per cent.
of their mills will close, and il is also
reported that the Consolidated Mill
ing company will discontinue opera
tons, although it is not learned new
many mills will be affected. The Of
ficials report the cause due exclusive
ly to the marked shortage in demand
for -four. The foreign trade, it is de-
clared, is practically dead, while the
present stock of the mills will be suf-
ficient to supply the domestic trade
for some time to come. 1t is contend
ed generally that the coming election
and political excitement have to some
extent brought about the sudden de-
cline in demand, and it is probable
that none of the mills will resume OPP
erations until after it is over.

VICTIMS OF A TORNADO.
Nine Persons Killed and Many In
jured In Biwnbik. Mimi,
and Vicinity.

Biwabik, Mimi, Oct. S.-The tornado
which ragged in this vicinity Saturday
evening was the most violent ever ex-
perienced hereabouts. The storm cut
a pathway $50 feet in width through
the northwestern corner of this town,
completely wrecking the buildings
struck. The shafthouses and build
ings of three mines which stood in
the path of the storm were reduced
to kindling wood. The property loss
is estimated at from SIS, 600 to $1OO, 600
and the known fatalities number nine,
with score or more injured--some Sc
verely, others only slightly. The
storm swept in northwesterly direc-
ton after leaving here and struck
little Finnish settlement near Pike
lake, where a number of buildings
were wrecked, in one of which an en-
tire family, consisting of husband,
wife and four children, were instantly
killed. So far their names have not
been obtained. 1t is believed that
when the more remote districts are
heard from further casualties may be
reported.
The list of those killed and injured,
so far as learned, follows:
Killed.-Mr.Cand Mrs. Marowitz. William
Hilstrom. family of six near Pike lake,
names not known.
Severely Injured.-Andrew Anderson, a
locomotive fireman, severely scalded, will
recover; F. Murray locomotive engineer.
severely scalded and otherwise injured, will
recover; Andrew Debbs, laborer. severe
scalp wound, will recover; John Morriston,
f.zsxt AA1 ~ n.
more or less severely cut and bruised.
The house in which the Marowitz
family lived was completely wrecked
and the body of Mrs. Marowitz was
found fully 400 feet away. every bone
in her body broken and her clothing
completely stripped off. The body Of
her husband was found Sunday in the
debris of their home, horribly mutt
lated. William Hilstrom was struck
on the head by falling tree and
his skull crushed. He afterwards died
at the hospital.
The engine house of the Duluth.
Mesaba & Northern railroad was COM
pletely wrecked and number of To-
comotives and cars were shifted from
the tracks and pounded into scrap
iron. The engine on which Murray
and Anderson were when the storm
broke was blown from the track and
the men were pinned beneath it and
horribly burned by the escaping
steam. Other men at work near them
had narrow escapes. Several cars
blown from the d., NJ. & N. tracks.
were found in Duluth mine pit. hun
dreds of feet away. Many of the
buildings destroyed were owned by
the mining companies and tenanted
by their employees. The duration of
the tornado was less than five min
utes, but it was preceded by an I'M
usually severe thunder and rainstorm,
and me heavy rain has flooded many
of the open pit mines and they will
be unable to operate for some time.

Chicago, Oct. S.-With insurance
upon her life amounting to $4,000,
Marie Defenbach died August 25 in a
room at 80 La Sale avenue alone and
under conditions which the police be-
iieye indicate a gigantic swindle upon
insurance companies, if they do not
point to murder. Charges of con-
spiracy, back of which are allied in
situations of murder, are lodged
against three men, two of whom are
already in custody. These men will
have to answer allegations of careful
ly-laid plot to swindle an insurance
company and two insurance societies

with the growth of fear into the actual
death, by poison, it is thought, of the
insured person. According to the the

Of Chicago, was originally one of the
quartette of conspirators. She had ex-
pected thather death was TO be feigned,
and that another dead body was to play
the passive role of her corpse; instead
of that, real death came to her.
When Marie Defenbach died there
were three insurance policies on her
life. aggregating $4,000. all of recent
