facts set forth in these dispatches yester-

The incorrect announcement from Tou-

emanated from the correspondent of a
Well-known news agency. The explana-
ton is that Admiral Magraet, commander
OF the Mediterranean fleet, returned to

NOT To REDUCE
RANSOM DEMAND
Bandits Still Insist on the
Payment Of Full
Amount.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N
w, WASHINGTON, Nov. IAN indispo-
sition continues to be manifested by the
brigands holding Miss Stone to surrender
the woman until they have received the
full amount of the ransom they have de-
manded. Despite the arguments used by
the American diplomats and missionaries
who are conducting the negotiations, the
brigands have not reduced the sum they
originally fixed nor have they intimate0
any intention of doing so. 1t is evident
they believe that it. can be raised, and
having played for large stake they do
not propose to relinquish a portion of it.
Eddy has been furnished with authority
to pay over to Miss Stones abductors
$65, 1000 the moment she is surrendered, but
through the missionaries he is endeavor-
ing to induce them to accept smaller
sum.
Case Is Very Serious
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1.-The ne
gotiationS with the captorS of Miss Ellen
M. Stone, the American missionary, ap-
pear to be going on so successfully that
her release seems now to be only a mat
ter of days. So far from there being any
confirmation of the run1ors of her death
circulating in the Bulgarian border dis
tricts, it is said here that another letter
written two days ago has been received
from her.
Later in the day, however, the case of
Miss Stone became more serious. The bri-
gands are still holding out for the S25 900
ransom and it is feared that should they
persist in their demand Miss Stone will
have to be sacrificed. Nevertheless the
negotiat tions are still proceeding.
Anxiety prevails this evening at the
United States Legation, whence there has
been an active exchange of kilograms be-
tween Secretary Spencer Eddy and Vari-
Gus points. Eddy to-day had long con-
ference with Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the
British ambassador here, who is actively
assisting in the efforts to bring about Miss
Stones release.
May Kill the Captive.
SOFIA, Nov. 1.-The best method of
transmitting the ransom demanded by the
brigands for the release of Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone. the abducted American missionary,
and of assuring the safety of the captiveS,
are the matters now engaging the atten-
ton of the Samakov missionaries, who
are negotiating with the kidnapers. 1t is
felt that unusual precautions are neces-
sary in order to safeguard Miss Stone and
the others, as there undoubtedly is dam
ger that the captiveS will be murdered
after the ransom is paid

STRENGTH TESTS.
A Record After Using Different Food

A Record After Using Different Foods.
j Henry Myers, of Otsego, Mich,
a travelling representative of q certain
medical missionary association, made
some strength tests with different
foods. with the following results:
I'm 1897 became officially connected
with an institution manufacturing 8
large line of health foods.
.'My desire was to add strength.
was in good health, and faithfully
lived. almost entirely for nearly two
years on their foods. and believed in
them thoroughly. 10 January. '9S,
my strength test showed 800 pounds,
in January. 80. by the same machine,
my strength test was only 400
pounds, a heavy falling off. notwith-
standing had not been sick. but had
faithfully and igiously used the
foods so fully believed in and had
bee hired to lecture for and advo-
cate.
'For month after that test 1 was
uucer tain what to do. / felt weak,
and what | wanted was strength; so
in February of that year l quit all
other health foods and began using
G ape-Nuts alone. My weight now
ma increased from 130 to 143 pounds
my strength has increased from $50
pounds to 5, $40 and l am now 1909
ounds stronger, by actual test, than
he average man. My eyesight is
clearer, my mind more active and
stronger, and l can endure more
labor, physical and mental, than ever
before.

ested in The Postum Cereal company,

with any motive. except to bring hon
est facts to the ate ntion of persons
desiring to live well and live ration
ally. / have the charts filed out by
the physicians at the Institution MAX
ing the health foods that failed in my
case. and these facts cannot be die
puted by any one. will rake oath
that they are absolutely correct"
Mr.. Myers letter gives the name in
full of the concern making the So
called health foods, which failed in his
case, but this name is not given 10
the public. 1t is not the purpose OF
the manufacturers of Grape-Nuts to
build their business by depreciatiDg
he efforts of any competitor. This
experience is printed as an illustla-
ton of the indisputable fact that
Grape Nuts food is a true, honest and
remarkable rebuilder of the human
body.

item of local interest:
"The progress of the Fraternal

such the past year as to fully justify
the wisdom of the supreme officers in
keeping the society free from the en-
tapglements of cheap rates, since from

been carried on upon the plan of MAX
ing regular monthly assessments and
creating an emergency fund by set
ting aside 10 per cent. of all mortuary
collections. At first the Tribunes had

the past year it was deemed wise. for
