FRANK MILLER
 GIVES UP HOPE Says He Will be Murdered on
 Next Friday BUT WILL DIE LIKE A MAN Advisory Pardonng Board Still Has His Case Under Consideration, But It Is Believed No Execu-
 tive CIemency Probable.
BUT WILL DIE LIKE A MAN

Frank Miller has about given up all hope of being saved, and says, though murdered, he will meet death on Friday like a man.
 q am perfectly innocent of this crime" :" said Miller, "and with my dying breath I will say so It looks like everybody has been against mein my efforts to put my case before the world. but some day, after I am dead, they will find that I am in- nocent''
 Miller cited the famous Durant case in California, where the man was executed and afterwards proven innocent, as com parison to his trouble.
 Miller was not in as good spirits yes- terday as usual and for the first time since his Imprisonment admitted that he had no hopes of being saved
 "It's hard; it's awful hard for a young man like me to have to lay here in jail like this and then go out upon the gall lows and suffer an ignominious death" Turning to his visitor he said, Tt looks as if the newspapers and everybody tried to hound me down, but now they can do their worst for I will not be here long"
 Miller complained bitterly of his treat ment by the sheriff, and said his quar- ters were altogether too uncomfortable The jailer. however, says that Miller has been accorded as good treatment as any of the men confined in the prison.

FAMILY FOOD. Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
 Cookinq.

A little boy down in North Carolina ask ed his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts Food had helped their fami- ly.
 She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte. where she visited the Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says, They derive so much good from it that they never pass day without using it. While I was there used the food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and, felt so well that when returned home I began using Grape-Nuts in the family regularly
 My little 1S-months-old baby shortly af- ter being weaned was very i'll with dys- pepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried everything She be- came so emaciated that 1t was painful to handle her and we thought we were go- ing to lose her. One day happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk.
 We'll it, worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and improve ment set in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible and on Grape-Nuts.
 Sometime ago a number of the family were stricken with LaGrippe at the same time and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape Nuts and oranges, every thing else nauseated us
 We all appreciate what your famous food has done for. our family

pAiNTIEsT COMEDY
In the Opera "Patience," Now Enjoying
 Phenomenal Run at Lakeview.

"Patience" Is an opera that is running over with that refined, delicate humor for which Gilbert was famous in the construc- tion of his operas. There is not bolster ous line in 1t, which makes the opera all the more pleasing after a rolicking music al farce like Mascot" The music of Pa tience" also is tuneful and pleasing, per haps more so than any other opera Sulli- van ever wrote. In fact Patience" is dainty and refined and thoroughly charm ing throughout.
 Another large audience saw the second performance of the opera last night, and their applause was a repetition of that on the opening night. The entrance of the dragoon guards under Colonel Calverlay (Mr. Drennen), and his song. If You Want a Receipt for that Popular Mys- tery," is particularly good as all of Sulli- vans male choruses are. Another effec- tive chorus which is in fact the theme of the whole opera is the girls chorus, '~Twenty Lovesick Maidens We"
 In fact Patience" is fairly filled with pretty music. T Cannot Tell What This Love May Be" Is one of Miss Miles pret- tiest solos, as is lher duet with MT. Wash burn, "wilow. Willow. waiy''
 At the opening of the second act Miss Scholar makes a nice hit with her reel tative and song called Sad Is That Wo- mans Lot" Mr. Washburn as Grosvenor also has several attractive numbers, among them being "A Magnet Hung in a Hardware shop his duet with MT. Lightwood, I'm a Waterloo-House Young Man." and others.

IT NOW LOOKS LIKE
 NO STRIKE WILL OCCUR
Miners and Operators Held Meeting Behind Closed Doors Yesterday and Have Better Understanding of Each
 Others Scaes-Both Sides Firm in Demands

A joint meeting of the two committees appointed to arrange schedule for the wages of the miners of the district for the coming year was held yesterday after noon. No practical result was obtained other than a thorough understanding of the two scales submitted for the commit tees consideration. It seems to be the general opinion among both operators and miners that an amiable agreement will be reached and a strike averted.
 The meeting was held in the Fox build ing. and was in the nature of an execu- tive or secret session. The committees were in a hall room in the building and all talk was behind locked doors. Outside this room were a number of miners, operators and others interested in the outcome of the session.
 The discussion of the committees was general, all questions being mentioned and the full history of the years work gone over in detail. The operators main tained in their review of the. past work that they have not been able to maintain prices and consequently are anxious for want this just at the present time, when they are fighting the introduction of fuel oil on a large scale.
 The miners, on the other hand, are maintaining that the position taken in the schedule presented is thoroughly just and proper and they should be granted the concessions demanded.
 A number of the smaller mining compa- nies and individual operators assert they are being discriminated against in the scale submitted by the miners. These companies have representatives here who are fighting to secure changes with special

reference to themselves, and their moves are affecting the committee discussions.
 It is maintained by the operators that they should be allowed to employ non union miners if they so desire. The Sloss-S Sheffield Coal and Iron Company is especially fighting for this position. It is asserted by the company's officers that they at present have one mine shut down on account of the fact that the company had, two miners at work who were not members of the union. These men. are good men, the company asserts, and should not be thrown cut of positions on account of their refusal to affiliate with the union.
 The settlement of these two questions is now of paramount importance to the further progress of the committees work Both will be discussed at considerable length and neither side will grant con cession without a hard struggle.
 No meeting of the committees was held yesterday morning. At the time ap- pointed for the meeting both the miners and operators were in their places, but the operators asked for time for an ex- ecutive discussionA This discussion was held in a private room and continued until 12 o'clock. During the time sev- eral consultations with members of the miners convention were held.
 All the prominent officials of the coal companies of the district were present at this meeting, and a thorough discus sion of the operators position was had.
 The joint committee will hold session this morning at 10 o'clock in the Fox building. These sessions will be contin- ued until final agreement is reached, which time is not expected before Sat urday.

P. II. Linnehan Is now an alderman from the Second Ward.
 The Board of Mayor and Aldermen last night upon motion of Alderman J. F. Graham, rescinded the resolution in- troduced by Alderman Harry Jones' and adopted by the board on June 6, leaving the matter of an election of an alderman to succeed A. J. Camp, resigned. in the hands of the people of the Second Ward, and elected P. H. Linnehan, the jeweler, to fill the vacancy.
 MT. Graham's resolution came as surprise to some of the aldermen, and the discussion following 1t at times grew very acrimonious.
 The first speaker against the resolution was Alderman George Ward, who stated in part that the matter looked like 1t was politics pure md simple MT. Ward thought that it would not only be an in- justice to the candidates, but to the voters of the ward to takeNsuch action. Mr. Ward moved to table the motion, which was seconded by Alderman Kerr. Before vote was taken on the Ward resolution general discussion was par ticipated in by several members of the board.
 Mir. Altman's Speech.
 Alderman Altman was first Lp, and he said 1t was indeed unfair to the absent Aldermen, the candidates and the people of the town to take any such action as suggested in the Graham resolution. Con tinuing. Colonel Altman said: These candidates are out $5.0O each. Who is going to refund this money? The city should be made to do 1t. We told these gentlemen that we were not going to as- sume the duties imposed upon us, as pro- vided in the city charter. which says that a vacancy in the Board of Aldermen shall be filled by majority vote of the board, and the several gentlemen went ahead and entered the race, and spent their time and money, and now we are to tell them that we were just fooling them. and we intend to elect an alderman our selves.

Austin, Texas, Nov. q, 1900. I have found Dr.. Moffett's TEETHINA a splendid remedy and aid for my teeth- ing children When my oldest boy was teething child, every succeeding day warned us that we would inevitably lose him. I happened upon TEETHINA, and began at once administering it to him, and his improvement was marked in 24 hours, and from that day on he recuper- ated. I have constantly kept 1t and used it since with my children, and have taken great pleasure in sounding It's praises to all mothers of young children. I found it invaluable even after the teething period was passed.
