Louisville, Ky, Nov. 26.-The Courier Journal tomorrow will say: If Mrs. Lil- lie Stanley Muir Talbert, who lives with her mother at 434 West Market Street, in Jeffersonville, Ind. is acquainted with the man she married in Jeffersonville on Saturday night, September 8. 1900, that individual is Newell c.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD. Facts About Food Worth Knowing

It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when person stomach is out of order and most foods cause gtiping and pains.
 Grape-Nuts Food can be taken at any time with the certainty that 1t will di- gest Actual experience of people Is valu- able to any one interested in foods.
 Mrs. Ella Nation, 1452 Grand Avenue, Terre Haute, Ind, Had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of typhoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach l would wish l never had to eat anything. l was urged to try Grape Nuts Food and since using 1t l do not have to starve myself any more, but [ can eat it at any time and feel nour- ished and satisfied. and dyspepsia is a thing of the past.
 When my stomach used to have that burning. hungry sensation my heart would flutter, just as sufferers with stomach trouble know about and when l was so weak I could hardly walk I would get up and get some Grape-Nuts and cream and eat them and the trouble would stop right away, and I kept grow ing better and better.
 My husband also had an experience with Grape Nuts Food. He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was put un- der the doctors care but medicine did not SC em to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape Nuts. 1t was positively surpris- ing to see the change in him. He grew better right off, and naturally he has none but words of praise for Grape-Nuts
 Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without he has Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teacher and other scholars comment on it. I am satisfied that it is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts.
 It is a pity that people do not know what to feed their children, There are many mothers who feed their youngsters on almost any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour the medi- cine down them. The real way is to stick to proper food ard be healthy and get alo-.- without the medicine and ex- pense.' wed.

THANKSGIVING PARDON
GOVERNOR LETS EUFAULA
 NEGRO OUT OF THE PEN.
Says He Issued the Pardon So the Darkey Could Eat Thanksgiving Dinner With His Family
 in Barbour.

The time of this convict will be out December 10th, and hereby pardon him to take effect at once, that he may eat a Thanksgiving dinner with his family" This Is the language employed by Ala bama's Governor in granting an uncon- ditional pardon yesterday to Joe Brooks, a Eufaula negro who was sentenced to two years upon eonWotion for grand lar ceny.
 The world Is bright and happy for Governor Jelks. He will eat his iirst Thanksgiving dinner as Governor of Ala bama tomorrow at Eufaula. The petl- ing nearly a year and when 1t came un- der the eye of the Governor yesterday and he discovered that the negro would have but twelve more days to stay Tn the penit sntiary, the idea of allowing the negro to eat Thanksgiving dinner with his aged parents appealed to the Gov ernor so strongly that with scratch of the pen he ordered that the negro convict be released. Joe Brooks will eat his Thanksgiving dinner within stone s throw of the grand old Keitt mansion in Eufaula where the Governor and Mrs. Jelks will mince their turkey on that day.
 Joe Brooks is a negro boy who was convicted and sentenced in the Circuit Court of Henry County and given two years for grand larceny. The evidence showed that he had moved to Dothan from Eufaula where he was reared and bore a good reputation. He went to Do- than with Jake Meyerovitz, white man, by whom he was charged with stealing a pistol. jury sustained the charge and Brooks was sent to the penitentiary.

 BarbacOa Bridge. NOW MARCHING ON COLON Insurgents Claim a Lack of
 Ammunition. Trains Carrying Marines to Panama Reached That City After Con- siderable Delay-Many Colom-
 bians Slain in Battle.

Colon, Nov. 26.-(4:40 p. m.)-The over due passenger train with a marine guard on board has just arrived here. The train brings news to the effect that General Alban with about 300 government troops has crossed Barbacoa bridge and is continuing his march to Colon. He is now at Tavernilla, where he is resting. The Liberal forces continue to retreat before him. They explain their retreat by saying they have no ammunition.
 A. of the trains which left here this afternoon for Panama with the Iowa marines and the passengers from the steamer Crizibia were delayed in transit but reached Panama safely.
 Reports current here this afternoon that General Pinzon had bombarded Porto Bello have been found. upon investiga- ton, to be not authentic. Fffhting to- day occurred at Barbacoa bridge. Pas sengers by the delayed train assert that fully 100 Conservatives were killed and wounded during the fighting there and that the Liberal loses were insignificant The Liberals are now approaching Catun station (about five. miles from Colon) and it is believed decisive engagement will probably be fought tonight or tomorrow morning at Monkey Hill cemetery. distant one mile from the limits of Colon.

 the United States.

New York, Nov. 26-Concernirg the troubles on the Isthmus of Panama the Lcrdon corr espondent of The Tribune says:
 'The temporary occupation of the Isth- milan Railway line by the United States tlccps is regarded with approval in Lon don. It is recognized that America is acting in accordance with her strict diplomatic rights, and 1t is by no means certain that the continental powers look on the matter with an unfriendly eye.'
 "Continental apprehension" remarks The Telegraph, Ifs so far justified that the time must come. soner or later, when the American forces will land to stay"
 "The course of events in Central America" says The Pail Mall Gazette, Ifs showing how inevitable it is that the United States should be the principal performer in these isthmian games, and that it is just well that their govern rnent and ours should have settled out standing differences and be working am- icably together for the preservation of an open door"

STATE CROPS SHORT
ONLY ABOUT e1 PER CENT or
 AVERAGE YIELD.
Interesting Comparisons Have Been ! Made by Commissioner of Agri-
 culture from Figures Furn-
 ished by Correspondents.

The Alabama Commissioner of Agricul- ture. Hen. R. R. Poole. yesterday gave cut statement showing the condition of crops in the State at the close of the crop year and making some interesting comparisons.
 The statement is based on reports re- ceived by the Agricultural Department from 600 correspondents in every section of the State and Commissioner Poole .es- t'mates from these reports that the Ala lama cotton crop for the past year will yield.
 'rhe average Alabama cotton crop for the past ten years,' the statement con- urues," has been 992, ,999 bales. For the past five years tt has averaged 1.0SS, 20v bales, For the five years past the acre. age has been materially increased and there has been much greater consump- tion or fertilizers. Copsequently the lat ter figures are the correct ones upon which calculations should be based. At least 90 per cent. of the crop has been gathered and there remains but little in the hands of the farmers. The corn cc5p throughout the State Is at least % per cent. short of an average wisely provided forage sufficient upor which to winter their stock.
 'The sugar cane and sweet potato crops are not so good as they were las year but there will be no scarcity o these staple products.
 There has been very little fall plow- ing but some seeding of oats and wheat has been done"
 The reports received by the Depart ment indicate that the best crops were made during the year by the counties of North Alabama. In this section the corn crop was exceptionally good.
 During the past year the State Agri- cultural Department has been active in the encouragement of grass growing among the farmers and a great deal of free samples of alfalfa and clover seeds have been sent to farmers all over the State These seeds were planted and as result the farmers have an abundance of forage for their stock notwithstanding the shortage of the corn crop.

held on her way. Finally 1t came to question of going ashore or going full speed ahead Then the captain took charge of the ship and accepting the chances made a rush to get off the lee shore. He succeeded but the vessel struck a submerged rock and had a small hole knocked in the hull, besides having several plates loosened. The pilot want ed to take her to the nearest port, but Captain Barneson knew his ship and car ried her to Kobe, where repairs could be made. The pumps were kept going dur in0 the run but at no time was there danger. There was no trouble at all in the navigation of the Warren and think both master and pilot were blame less. Furthermore, l think Captain Bar neson acted like a skilled seaman and l don't think anybody in our merchant marine wants anything better than that said about him."
 Congressman Weeks of Michigan and DeArmond of Missouri, will arrive. here on the transport Hancock next week.
