LELAND ON WAR PATH.
Sues Pool Grinstead For $I5,-
900 and Attaches New Paper.

Troy, Kas., May 2S.-Cyrus Leland
has brought suit against the owners
and publishers of the Wathena Repub-
lican, Pool Grinstead, P. w. Grinstead
and G.. M. Beall, for SIS. 900 damages
for libel, and has attached the plant
Of the paper, alleging that P. w. Grin
stead, the owner, is a nonresident of
the state. The plant is now in the
hands of the sheriff.
The trouble grows out of violent ar
ticles in the Republican against Leland,
the principal one having charged him
with robbing the mail to secure the
Pat Coney letter to Grinstead, recently
published. The Republican was lately
started by Pool Grinstead's brother to
give the imprisoned editor a paper to
take the place of the Star, which is in
the hands of a receiver. Pool Grin
stead, who is a Populist, is serving a
sentence for criminal libel. Gen. J. K.
Hudson, Judge A. H. Horton, Pat Coney
and other leaders of the .anti-boss as
sociation," have recently tried to induce
Governor Stanley to pardon him. but
without avail. The fellow feeling be-
tween Grinstead and the Hudson-Coney
crowd grew out Of the fact that both
were enemies of Mr.. Leland.
Major A. M. Harvey, the attorney for
the anti-boss league, went to Troy last
evening. Capt. P. H. Coney says that
the case will be taken to the United
States court, as p. w. Grinstead is a
resident of Kentucky.

Campbell to Withdraw in Seventh
Congressional District.

Larned, Kan, May 2S.-The Seventh
district Populist congressional commit
tee was in session here in conference
with Jerry Simpson. P. I. Campbell and
w. L. Brown all day yesterday behind
locked doors. 1t is known that the OBJ
ject of their deliberations was to induce
p. I. Campbell to pull out of the race for
congress in favor of Claude Duvall, the
Democratic nominee. but as each mem
Der of the committee is pledged not to
divulge the result of the conference un-
til the proposition they agreed upon is
sumbitted to the Democratic committee,
it is impossible to give the exact terms
of the proposal. 1t can be stated, how
ever, hat Mr.. Campbell has agreed to
get out of the race under certain eondi-
tions, which will be proposed to Mr..
Duvall, and it is believed that these
conditions will be accepted by the Dem
ocratic managers, and that within ten
days MI. Duvan will be declared the
fusion candidate for congress in this
district.
Simpson, Campbell and Brown left for
Wichita last night to submit the pro-
position to the chairman of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee and ask
him to call his committee together to
consider it.

BIBLE SOCIETIES TO PART
After Years of S~quabbling and Dis
agreement

New York, May 23.-It would appear
from statements made by certain mem
bers of the American and Foreign Ri
BILE society that that organization is to
end its existence within a few months
These members make up that part OF
the society which represents the Orisi-
nal organization before it took under
its name the American Bible union. 1t
is well known that before these two or
ganizatiOns were united they had been
bitter walls and hat after their con
sOlidatiOn some of their members want
ed to keep up the conflict.
The Rev. George w. Herver, who rep
resents the original American and For
eign Bible society faction, aid last
night:
The time has come for dismember-
ment. During the last ten years or
more the American Bible union faction
has been in control of the society. 1t
has appropriated money in direct var
lance with the constitution and still IT
sists on continuing in his course. Ac-
cording to the constitution of the soci-
ETY., the money contributed should be
expended in disseminating the Bible
among the heather and thus aid the
work of the missionaries. Instead, the
controlling element in the board has
been spending money in getting out an
other English version of the Bible.
Another point Of illegality in the
present administration Of the work of
the society lies in the fact that it turns

A SCIENTIFIC

Rightly selected food will cure more
than half the diseases. Try a scientific
and healthy breakfast: Fruit of some
kind, preferably cooked; a dish of
Grape-Nuts. with cream; two soft
boiled eggs. Put two eggs in a tin
pint cup of boiling water, cover and set
off for nine minutes. Whites will then
be the consistency of cream and most
easily digested. One slice of bread with
butter; cup of Postum Cereal Food
Coffee.
On that breakfast you can work like
a horse and be perfectly nourished un-
til noon. Your nervous troubles, heart
palpitation. stomach and bowel
troubles kidney complaints and various
other disorders will gradually disappear
and firm, solid health will set in.
Why? You have probably been living
on poorly selected food; that is, food
that does not contain the required ele-
ments the body needs. That sort Of
food, and coffee, is the direct or indi-
rect cause of more han half the ills
the human body acquires.
Grape-Nuts is a perfectly cooked food
and both that and the Postum Food
Coffee contain fine microscopic particles
of phosphate of potash obtained in a
natural way from the grains of the field
and by scientific food experts incorpo-
rated into food and drink. That ele-
mont joins with the albumen in food to
make gray matter, which is the filling
OF the brain cells and the nerve centers
all over the human body.
A man OF woman thus fed is scien-
tihcally fed and rapidly rows in vigo1
and vitality, and becomes capable OF
conducting successfully the affairs OF
life. To produce a perfect body and g
money-making brain, the body mus
have the right kline Of food and the ex-
pert food specialist knows how to MAKE
1T. That is Grape-Nuts and Postum
Cereal Food Coffee, produced at the
pure food factories Of the Postum Cerea
Co.s Ltd.s at Battle Creek, Mich.

NO BAIL FOR Nicely.
The Embezzler is Finally Landed
in Jail in New York.

New York, May 23.-Charles r. W.
Nicely who was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon the second time was taken to
the United States marshal's office and
later was arraigned before Judge La
combe. Counsel for the prisoner made
application for a reduction of the bail,
but it was denied. Nicely was then
taken to the Ludlow street jail. At
to the orders of arrest is the afi-
davit of Burton, an inspector general of
the United States army with rank of
colonel stationed in Cuba, and other
afhdavits.
In his affidavit Colonel Burton states
that on April "a, 1900, he was ordered
by Major General Wood to examine
accounts and vouchers in the depart
ment of posts in Cuba, passed upon and
audited by the assistant auditor from
h inception of his Office to April "a,
1900.
Colonel Burton, according to the aft
davit, examined the accounts and found
irregularities that made it necessary
for him to visit Neely's office and ex-
anime his accounts. He saw a Mr..
Reynolds in Neely's office, and this
man, he asserts, held frequent whisp-
cred talks with his superior. After
Nicely learned his accounts were to be
examined he left Havana on the steam
ship Mexico.
!. Mr.. Burton further alleges that he
learned from E. G.. Rathbone, director
of posts in Cuba, that Nicely had gone
to the Waldorf-Astoria in New York.
A cable dispatch was sent to Nicely to
return, but he paid no attention to it.

Kan, receiver and shipper of grain
New York. May 23.-The demonstration
in American Sugar Refining and Ameri-
can Tobacco stocks was so clearly a
movement against the shorts that little
more than this may be said as to entire
market. The settlement of the local gas
war last week had obviously put traders
in a nervous state of mind with regard
to a trade settlement in Sugar Refining.
The best authorities, both official and IN
official agree that there has been no re-
cent change with regard TO the Sugar in
dustry and the relations between the diff
ferent refining companies. 1t may be that
hope of a settlement has not been entirely
abandoned and so long as this hope lasts,
there is liable to be a frequent repetition
of settlement rumors whenever the mar
ket for the Havemeyer speciality gets
over-sold- The same remarks to an ex-
tent apply to the Tobacco stocks, al
though as regards them they have not the
speculative nor investment standing en-
joyed by Sugar Refining 1t is rattle sur
prising that the bullish demonstrations in
the industrial specialties did not effect
more of a rally in the standard railway
shares. So far the earnings of the rail-
roads are keeping up remarkably well
In view of the falling off in grain tonnage
which has occurred. We note that up TO
yesterday out of ffty-seven railroads re-
porting gross earnings for the second
week of May, forty-six show gains over
last year and only eleven record declines.
