The Isaac Staples took q raft of logs
past here yesterday. 1t was the last
raft of the season. She did not halt
to give her destination, but is bound
either for Burlington or Keokuk.
The City of Winona closed her sea-
son yesterday. She has hardly been
buying grease for the doctor with
her recent traffic, and Capt! Streckfus,
while he likes joke, doesn't aPpre-
ciate the beauty of running q steam
boat for fun. The Winona will join
the Verne Swain in the ice harbor and
get her usual winter overhauling.

and will continue to make her
regular trips till Nov. 10, when
she, too, will 90 to the bank, If the
program now laid out by Capt. Blair

Another spell of delightful Indian
summer, it is possible, might tempt
him to keep her out a few days longer,
and storm and cold weather, with
running ice, would chase her home
sooner, but she has a week and half
ahead of her yet per program.

The stage of the water now is just
the thing for good boating. II it
could have been had earlier in the sea-
son, when the dry time came in the
place of the high stage of the June
rise, it would be of some use in the
steamb boat business.

MINISTER'S ENDORSEMENT.
Rev. Horace Porter Compliments MIR.

Rev. Horace Porter Compliments Nj
Brady on Production of His Play.
Following is a letter received by
William A. Brady from Rev. Horace
Porter. of Plymouth church, Brook
Ign. N T.. thanking the above gen.
tleman for his kind appreciation for
witnessing the performance of Way
Down East"
Dear Sir: Through your kindness
it was the privilege of Mrs. Porter
of WAY Down East Saturday after
noon last, March 5. Though several
days have since elapsed, the play is
still so fresh and it's lessons so power
full in our minds that we wish to ac-
knowledge your kind courtesy and to
express our high appreciation of the
dignity and worth of Way Down
East On the very day that we wit
messed the play my wife and myself
were trying to assist a beautiful
woman who is just now in almost eX-
actly the same situation in which
poor Anna Moore found herself. You
can then imagine, perhaps, what a
tremendous hold the play took upon
us as the terrible plot was revealed.
1t seemed no play, but, to us at
least, there seemed years of life's
deepest experience passing in reality
before us in those brief hours. AS a
minister l could but feel most keenly
the comparative impotence of our
pits-nearly all of our pulpits are
dealing with these realities of life
as compared with the power of your
unreal plays" 1t seemed to me
that you are doing brave service in
putting this before the world. Long
and widely may way Down East
prosper.
In conversation with DIR. Lyman
Abbott, pastor of Plymouth church, [
have told him attended the play last
Saturday. He was much interested
and inquired all about it-how | liked
it as compared with "Shore Acres, ;"
which he called a most delightful pic
ture of life. I told him this new play
to me seemed equally, if not even
more delightful, with it's additional
music settings, and is a far more
powerful play. If you have adver-
tised the performances, have over
looked them. VIII you kindly let me
know whether the play is still con-
tinuing, as 1 think DR.. Abbott will
wish to attend. and wish some of my
friends to do so also.
The play is so admirably presented
that we feel like complimenting every
character. but will you
kindly extend to Miss Anna Moore our
and our sense of the |
modest dignity and power with which |
she is bringing home to thousands of
men lessons, which too many of them |
most seriously need. Very respect
fully yours,

Feared Clever FeatherWeight Will
Never be Able to Fight
Again.
WAS HURT WHILE IN TRAINING
Limb Badly Swollen and May
Have to Keep to Bed
for Weeks.

Early reports of the bad condition
of Eddie Santry, the featherweight
fighter who made mis- home here for q
few years, are practically confirmed
now, and it is almost certain that the
one-time feather-weight champion
will not be seen in the ring again.
Some friends visited the in ured boy
in Chicago and saw the bad condition
Of his ley. Santry practically admits
that he has little hope of ever seeing
his name on the bills again as per-
former with the gloves, his one hope
now being that he will be able to get
out of mis- trouble without stiff leg.
Santry's account of the accident
Just before his fight with Kid Broad
is about the same as that told by
Tommy Ryan, with whom he was
boxing when the unfortunate affair
happened. Santry tented as if to
lead and Ryan shot out his left with
som6 force. Santry attempted a side
step, but his ankle turned in some
manner and the full weight of his
body was thrown onto the knee Joint
in twisting fashion. Santry fell to
the floor in considerable pain, but
was able to Iise and walk about i'm
mediately after the accident. The in
Jured knee did not give him much
pain for considerable time after the
accident and the injury was not
thought to be serious enough to keep
Santry out of the ring the following
night. But after a consultation with
a physician Santry was ordered to
bed at once.
Must Remain In Bed.
Tuesday his leg was badly swollen
and it was said Santry would be I'M
able to leave his bed for at least two
weeks. despite his earnest appeal to
the physician that he be allowed to
90 ont and cast his vote.
Santry had high hopes just before
the accident of being abe once again to
resume his place at the top of the
heap of feather-weights, who areclam-
oring about the country for matches.
He did not expect to beat the mighty
Terrence McGovern. but he believed
he was the next best man, and was
going along with the am oition to
prove this to the public. He wanted

A CHEMIST SPEAKS
OF Predigested Food.

After having tested and tried every
form of predigested food on the
market, and experimenting in my
ia mily, my attention was attracted to
an article headed 'Brawny Scots Diet,
mentioning eggs and Grape-Nuts. 1
carefully tested the new food aud
finally began to use in my family,
with most gratifying results.
"My little bay at that time was pale,
anaemic child and very poorly nour-
ished. Now, thanks to Grape-Nuts.
he is as fine a specimen of infantile
strength as l could wish for. My
own personal experience means much
to me. For some years l was trou-
bled with dyspepsia; that is, l could
not eat bread or any preparation of
bolted wheat flour. such as cake or
any of the starchy preparations, with
out a tit of indigestion, sour stomach,
costiveness, and headache.
LAS soon as quit that sort of food
and used Grape-Nuts, which has the
starchy part predigested, 1 began to
recover. The change has been re-
bic. l formerly weighed 122
pounds and now weigh 1877. Am
strong, have more nerve force than l
ever possessed, appetite perfect, sleep
sound and can endure any amount of
work. l know exactly where the
change has come from, and it is from
your truly scientific and wonderful
food, which is worthy of the highest

Baltimore. Nov. S-Rumors were
current today concerning cOmbina-
tion of the trans Atlantic steamship
companies, which will involve several
companies and many millions of dol
lars. 1t was said that the Atlantic
Transport company, which operates
the lines of steamships between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
London will be part of the combi-
nation.
Bernard N. Baker, president of the
company, when seen today said: II
have nothing to give out. -
Others interested in the company
Were equally reticent, but it was
learned from an apparently reliable
source that negotiations are going on
in New York and that representative
of the Atlantic Transportation COM
pany is in that city looking after it's
interests.
Color is given to the rumor by the
strength of the Atlantic Transport
stock on exchange today. There was
All active inquiry for it on the board
and Oh the curb, but the only sale on
record i'm the early dealings was 10
shares at $50, an advance of / 5 points
compared with It'd last preceding
sale. Since August 30 the stock has
risen 45 points,
The details of the deal are carefully
guarded, but il is understood that the
stockholders of the Atlantic Transport
company will receive more than 5000
per share for their holdings in the
event of consummatlon OF the deal.
The Atlantic Transportation company
has now in service seventeen vessels,
ranging in tonnage from 4,25O to 49,

The Minnetonka and Minnewaska,
now building at Belfast, Ireland, will
be launched next spring and placed in

will be 8, 400 ton vessels and similar
in design to those now building for
the company by the Maryland Steel
company Besides these vessels, the
company is building two at the yards
of the New York Ship Building COM
pany at Camden, N. j., and will
shortly award contracts for two more.

NEBRASKA FOR M'KINLEY.
State Ticket Probably Carried by Fusion
lists Legislature in Doubt.

Omaha, Nov. S-Complete returns
from two thirds of the counties in Ne
braska and scattering returns from the
balance, show that Mckinley has car
ried Nebraska by plurality of at
least 2,G00.
Equal number of returns on the
state ticket indicate that Nebraska
has reelected Governor Pointer and
the entire fusion state ticket by plur-
alities ranging from 500 to |, 300 over
the republicans, the governor being
the high man.
If the balance of the state shows the
same percentage of gain and loss
Pointers election is certain, and the
counties to be heard from being mostly
in the western part of the state, it is
fair to presume that this is the case.
The legislature will likely be de-
cided by Douglas county, in which it
will take the official count to deter
mine the vote.

STONE REBuKES BoLTERS
Carlisle Wants a Reorganization
of the Party with Pop
ulism Omitted.

New York, Nov. Sex Governor
Stone, yice-chairman of the national
democratic committee, said at the
Hoffman House tonight in regard 70
the proposed reorganization Of the
democratic party.
"This talk about reorganization
is absurd The democratic party is
already organized. If by re-organi-
Zation is meant change in the ma
tional committee, that will have to be
done at the next national convention.
If by reorganization is meant a rad
ical change of the platform with a
candidate whose views accord with it; !;
that will also have to wait until the
next national convention.
"If the next national convention
wants a new national committee,
am willing to abide by the verdict of
that committee. / have noted that
those men who clamor for a re-organI-
zation after the defeat are the very
ones who contributed to that defeat.
There are some people who go to a
convention and demand certain plat
form, and insist upon the selection of
certain candidates, and at their fail
ure to get what they wnat, inn
mediately Withdraw their support and
become opponents OF their party. Ii
they want any changes let them work
in their state organizations for the
selection of delegates to bring about
those changes"
