BOY RETURNS WHEEL TO
METHODIST CHURCH
II Was Stolen Several Niuhts AGO
From VestibuIe During
Service.

If 1t Is any greater crime to steal BIZ
cycle from a church than any other place
1t must be a greater amount of remorse
which causes the person to return 1t to
the church from which 1t was stolen.
Something akin to MIR. R. e. Morse
must have visited the white boy who
took H. NJ Graves wheel from the vesti-
bule of the First Mthodist church several
nights ago during DIR. Munhall's sermon,
for Friday afternoon he returned 1t.
While DR.. Munhall was preaching Fri
day afternoon small white boy rode up
to the church curb, dismounted from a
wheel hurriedly and disappeared as rapid
ly as his feet would carry him. The
wheel was carried to the chief Of police 5
office by the janitor.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Graves called,
identified the wheel, signed receipt and
went on his way rejoicing.

II steadily grew worse. When baby
was born 1t was a skeleton of mere bones
and SO weak and puny that it's little life
soon fickered out. I had been suffering
for several years with stomach trouble
and nervous diseases, the doctor said
brought on by coffee.
"At times l would swell up until could

doctor told me coffee was the cause of it
ALL Why, l had used coffee for years
without seeing that 1t did me any harm,
so the silly idea of fogy doctor was not
going to make me give up my favorite
beverage, and I kept on using 1t on the
sly unknown to him, while he gave me
every sort of tonic and pills to attempt to
cure me and get my nerves in a healthy
condition.
After baby's death I was sick in bed
and the doctor insisted on keeping coffee
away from me. He put me on Postum
Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts. l shall
never forget how I relished the first cup
of fragrant, black Postum and how good
the Grape Nuts with cream tasted and
rs IL by magic, began to sleep all night
for the first time in months.
Slowly began to gain. in strength and
flesh, and my mind began to clear up. My
stomach gave me no pain, and the doctor
was greatly surprised at the change
caused by the food and drink. and pleas
antly named them the magic nerve re-
storers, for he says they built up my
nerves and strength as nothing else on

American Railway Association Dis

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. %. = The
American Railway association closed
its semi annual convention this even

New York in April next. Ninety dele
gates were present, representing sew
enty companies.
The per diem system in paying. for
freight cars in use by companies not
owning them was given much consid-
GRAFTON. This is the new system in eff
feet since last July, which provides for
the payment of 20 cents per day for
the use of a car, instead of the old
method of computing payment on
basis Of the number of miles travelled.
In its report the car service committee
stated that the general results which
have followed the adoption Of the new
system showed it's manifest advantage
over the old one in every detail and
explaining how it has simplified the
interchange of cars between roads all
over the country.
The following companies were cho-

car service, to serve for three years:
Chicago & West Indiana railway; New
York & ST. Louis railway and Norfolk

DECIDES FOR GERMANY
KING OSCAR OF SWEDEN SET
TIES SAMOAN CONTROVERSY
Arbitration in the Matter of the Land
ing of American and British Ma
rines at Apia in 1899-News Is As
tonishine to This Country and Eng
land.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct %. =
Oscar of Sweden and Norway has de-
cided the Samoan controversy in favor
of Germany. The announcement will
be astonishing to the governments OF
the United States and Great Britain,
which were confident that they would
establish fully the legality and pro-
priety of the joint landing of marines
at Apia, in 1899, to sustain the decree
of the Samoan supreme court and end
the revolution
The extent to which the decree COW
ers the claims for damages filed by the
citizens of the three countries and OF
France may not be known for several
days. These claims, which were nom
inally the prime cause for arbitration,
are Insignificant, however, compared
with the question of national honor on
which they depended and if the ac
ton of the United States and Great
Britain had been sustained by the
royal arbiter, would have fallen to the
ground.
The Samoan dispute grew out of the
concerted action of Real Admiral
Kautz, of the United States navy, and
Sturdy, of the British navy, in leading
combined American and British force
at Apia on April /, 1899, for the pur-
pose Of making a reconnaissance and
breaking up Mataafas supporters, who
were in rebellion against the recog
nized government. 1t was on this oc
casion that Philip Lansdale, the ex
ecutive officer of the Philadelphia;
Ensign j. r. Monaghan and two en-
listed Americans, and Lieut.. Freeman
and two British sailors were killed.
The United State ship Badger was
promptly sent to the scene, carrying
an International commission, composed
of Bartlett Trip, representing the
United States; Won Sternberg, the
German commissioner, and c. N. Ell
lictt, the British commissioner. AS the
chief result of the Investigations Of the
commission the tri-partite agreement
of 1899 was abrogated, the islands be-
ing divided between the United States
and Germany,while Great Britain with
drew. A convention was signed at
Washington on Nov. Z, 1899, submit
ting the claims of Samoan residents to
the king of Sweden and Norway for
arbitration, the main question being
| whether the military action Of the
United States and Great Britain had
been warranted.
