People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food Grape Nuts yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large pro-
portion of, as the body can make up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predigest-
ed transformed into grape sugar,
ready for immediate assimilation.
People in all parts of the country can
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts
food.

GrapeNuts food. I can truly recon-
mend it to thin people," He had been
eating meat, bread, etc, right along
but there was no ten pounds of added
flesh until Grape-Nuts food was used
one curious feature regarding true
health food is that it's use will reduce
the weight of a corpuent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance of ev-
idence to prove this.
Grape Nuts balance the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. The foods

ing properties have made friends that

 tion will mark a distinct advance in the progress of the arms of the United States
 in the restoration of order in the Philip
 pines. The situation has been steadily i'm proving in those islands for some time past, and it is thought that the time is opportune for pardon to all those Filipinos who have borne arms against the authority
 of the United States, and have not used their hostility as mere cloak for the con-
 mission of robbery, murder and other crimes
 It is confidently believed that the result of the proclamation will be quite general submission by those Filipino leaders who have not yet given their adhesion to the control of the islands by the United States.

TROUBLE IN MONTANA
Clark and Daly Factions Will Send Con
 testing Delegations

Butte Mont, June 20.-There will be con- testing delegations claiming admission from Montana at the Democratic National Convention in Kansas City. The chairman of the State Convention, w. M. Cockrell, is the recognized Daily man. The friends of Senator Clark in the committee including those who hold proxies, were in the ma jority. Chairman Cockrell refused to rec ognize the proxies, and appointed in the place of the absentees men known to be favorable to Daily. John s. M Neill of He- lena, a member of the committee, took the floor and proposed to depose the chair man. The scene in the room at this time was very wild. A number of deputies under the leadership of Under Sheriff Murphy pushed their way into the room and at tempted to eject the Clark people. For awhile it looked like an incipient riot
 The Clark people stood their ground but finally withdrew, leaving the committee to attend to its business. When this had been done Chairman Cockrell was deposed by the vote of the committee, and Neill was elect ed in his place.
 Meantime the delegates and hundreds of spectators had assembled at the auditor ium which Cockrell had selected as the place for the meeting. They found the doors barred and the place in charge of a num- Der of deputy sheriffs and policemen, acting under the direction of the Daly people. After waiting for an hour they were in formed that the convention would not be called to order until o'clock
 Before that time the State Central Com mttee had met, with it's new chairman pre- siding and selected the Grand Opera House as the regular place of meeting of the con- vention. The convention was called to order there shortly after o'clock, and the Hon. F. c. Day made temporary chairman. After the appointment of the usual committees the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
 The Daly people, representing nine coun- ties, three of them regular and the others contested met in the auditorium at the same hour, o'clock. Admission was by ticket. State Senator H. l.. Myers of Ra- vali was made temporary chairman. After the appointment of the usual committees the convention adjourned until o'clock to- night.

DEMOCRATS MEET
 IN SEVERAL STATES
Expansion Fight On in the Texas
 Convention.
BROUGHT ABOUT BY BAILEY
His Political Opponents and Senator Chiltons Friends Vigorously Fought Endorsement of His Views and
 Kept Up a Big Wrangle.

Austin, Tex, June 20.-Contrary to ex- peetation the Democratic State Convention which met here at noon today did not ad- journ tonight nor have delegates been named to the National Convention in Kan sas City. Instead of transacting it's busi- ness with promptness and despatch the convention was early thrown into an anti expansion fight which was waged all the afternoon and evening.
 The fight was precipitated by an effort on the part of Congressman Bailey to have the convention endorse his anti-expansion views. MT. Bailey's political opponents and those favorable to Senator Chilton his late opponent for the United States Senate vigorously fought such an endorsement in a wrange all day. MT. Bailey's op- ponents submitted a minority report to the convention tonight favoring expansion as against anti-eXpansion and the debate will in all probability protract the deliberations of the convention over Thursday The convention is largely attended, many ol the best known politicians of the State being present.
 There are a number of aspirants for posi- tions on the Kansas City delegation and as a result the slates that are being made to- night may give the anti-Bailey followers a strength that they could not otherwise secure, as a large majority of the con vention are opposed to so-called expan- sion.

M'KINLEY'S AMNESTY
 TO THE INSURGENTS
All Those Who Will Take the Oath of AIiegi- ance to the United States Government
 Will Be Pardoned by Him.

Manila, June 20.-General Macarthur will tomorrow formally announce President McKinley's order of amnesty. Buencamini Paterno and other prominent Filipino lead are greatly pleased, as they believe that. under the amnesty, they can bring about the surrender of Aguinaldo, who, they declare is ready and willing to con slider the peace platform adopted by the Filipino leaders with few insignificant exceptions.
 Several meetings of the leaders were held quietly in Manila last week. They are encouraged by the progress they are making with the natives and the authori- ties here. Tomorrow an important meet ing will be held, at which the amnesty de- cree will be read
 It is the concensus of opinion of the for eigners and the better class of Filipinos and Spaniards that Aguinaldo will be in Manila shortly as result of the decree.

cratic State Convention today was not only one of the largest ever held by the party in this State for merely delegate purposes, but was the most harmonious and enthus iastic known for years. Charles A. Towne of Duluth, Populist candidate for Vice President, was given the heartiest kind of endorsement and the delegates to Kansas City instructed to support him.
 The resolutions adopted favor the free coinage of silver at the "eXiSting legal ratio," which virtually means 16 to 1; de- nounce trusts; demand that trust articles be placed upon the free list; epXress sym pathy with the Boers; demand indepen- dence for Cuba: ask the repeal of war taxes; favor postal savings banks: favor the income tax; the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the peo- pie and the system of initiative and ref erendum. The present national administra- tion is denounced and an alliance with Great Britain is laid at it's doors. The con- vention was warm in it's allegiance to w. J. Bryan and Governor John Lind and the Governor was heartily applauded when called to the platform for a speech.
 The Daly Democratic Convention this evening elected Martin Magginnis, M w. Cockrell, Governor Robert B. Smith, Paul A. Fuss, w. H. Hartman and Dr. J. M. Fox delegates to the National Convention.
 The platform denounces in unmeasured terms the action of w. A. Clark of Butte in corrupting the late Legislature, in as- sailing the integrity of the supreme court and attempting to debauch the people of the entire commonwealth as the colossal crime of the century.
 Senator Clark's resignation, after the re- port of the Senate committee and his ap- pointment by the acting Governor, was de- nounced as a disgrace to the stated shame to the nation and an insult to the Senate.

Missionaries Guarded

Shanghai, June 20.-Telegrams from Tien Tsin, dated June 15 and forwarded by post, say that the foreign mi ssionaries at Paio Ting Flu are being guarded by the troops of General Mich. Twenty-Five Americans, with Calling gun, have arrived.
 In the foreign settlement the chapels have been burned. and the mission stations of the American Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church and of the London Missionary Society are practi- cally in the hands of the Boxers.

Florida Convention

Jacksonville, Fla, June 2O-The State Democratic Convention today adopted a platform, the main features of which are the endorsement of William J. Bryan for President, the denunciation of trusts, de- mand for the repeal of all war taxes, 16 to 1 ratio of coinage; governmental control of corporations, especially railroads; direct vote for United States Senators, a gradu- ated income tax, and reduction of the tariff to a revenue basis.
 The question of the removal of the seat of government is also plank in the plat form, and calls for a primary election on November G. 1900 to decide whether a con- stitutional amendment shall be submitted to the electors of the State.

 The naval officers take some comfort from the report of the French consul at Thang Tung. transmitted by Consul Fowler, to the effect that the missionaries at Tsang Chow were carried off alive by the Chinese general. The hope is enter tained that the missionaries were carried on to insure their protection, an evidence that the Chinese troops at that point are not acting with the Boexrs Owing to the vague character of the French consul's re- port. however, it may be said that the above inference is somewhat strained.
 It is said at the State Department that the whole effort of the government at this juncture Is devoted to the re-establish- ment Of communication with Admiral Kempff and Minister Conger
 The Phoenix can reach Taku, where Ad- miral Kempff lies aboard the Newark. and can also get up the river to Tien Tsin, where the United States ships Nashville and Monacacy undoubtedly have arrived by this time. Beyond that point the communi- cation with Minister Conger must, it is said, be sent overland by a military eX- petition.
 soiace at Che Foo
 The Solace, which embarked full bat talion of marines from Cavite about five days ago, is understood to have arrived at Che Foo on her way to Taku. It is not possible for the Solace to ascend the Pei Ho river above Taku, so that if the ma rines are to be landed at Ten Tsin their original destination, they must be trans shipped in small boats. Some of the officials are, however, of the opinion that since they have come into possession of Taku the in- ternational naval commanders will take prompt measures to reopen the railroad from that point to Tien Tsin to facilitate the assembling at the latter place of the international army.
 Owing to the disinclination of Acting Secretary Hackett to take the responsible ty upon his shoulders of making public any portion of Admiral Memphis despatch 1t was not until late in the afternoon and after the President had given his approval that the rather meagre statement of the | admiral's communication was given out. It was then found to contain little that is new. Persistent inquiry developed the fact that the date of the cablegram was Che Foo June 20. The admirars statement that heavy firing was heard at Tien Tsin on | the evening of the 17th possibly is the basis | of the report current that Pekn was at | tackled that day by the foreign column, though it seems incredible that the sound of any such artillery as could have been carried by Admiral Seymour's light column could have been heard seventy-five miles, the distance from Tien Tsn to Pekin. II Is possible that the admiral means that he himself at Taku heard heavy firing Tn progress at Tien Tsin, thirty miles distant, though with an open river above him to that point and gunboats capable of navi- gating the channel lying at Tien Tsin it would seem that he would have been able in that case to ascertain what the firing meant in the two days that elapsed be- tween the 17th and the rate of his des- patch.
