A Splendid Work.

While in Ellensburg few days ago.
we made call on the different news
paper brethren, and found the 'Burg's
pencilpushers very congenial set of
fellows. Bro. Turner of THE DAWN
presented US with one Of his Christmas
souvenirs--a splendid got up little book,
describing Ellensburg in particular and
Kittitas county in general. Although
a Christmas souvenir, its historical
data's and general information makes
the book very handy at any time of the
year, Later on, when the Burg be-
comes a suburb to CleElum, we hope
there'll be a better chance to cultivate
the Burg EDITORS aquaintance.-Cle

CHIEF CRoKER SUSPENDED.
Ryan Prosecution Aimed at Him, he De- ciares

Ryan Prosecution Aimed at Him, he De.
 clares
 New York, August 19.-Chief Croker of the Fire Department was suspended from duty this morning. Commissioner Sturgis was busy at the time with tho tria' of Deputy-Chief Ryan, and gave no explana, tion. Chief Croker himself declared that the Commissioners action was unjust and illegal, and that the entire Ryan agitation was directed towards himself.
 When the Ryan hearing was adjourned al 1: 80 o'clock, Mir Sturgis was asked why Chief Croker had been suspected.
 That's something I don't care to talk about" he replied airily. Any way, he wasn't suspended: just relieved from duty ''What is the difference?'' he was asked. ''Oh, there is difference. He Is reliev. ed from duty, just as if hew as on vaca. tion,' and Mir. Sturgis tried to get away to luncheon.
 Then the Commissioner was asked about the persistent rumors that politics was question was put to him as follows:
 Ut is the general opinion that the Ryan trial is peanut politics; that his place is wanted; that the trial is aimed at Chief Croker: and that.a political combination of the sort, and for such purposes is not in harmony with the spirit of the Low ad. ministration. Have you any comment to make on this view of the proceedings?' The Commissioner replied:
 "There Is no truth in 1t whatever. Thts Commissioners of Accounts, in the course of an investigation ordered by the Mayor. When we began there was no thought that Croker would be implicated"

Food That Cut Work In Hall

The food that will enable person to accomplish in one year the work laid cut for two years is worth knowing about. Miss Annie Avery, student in Lanark Ont, writes: q know felt my i'll health even more than if I had been engaged in any other work, as the con- finement of school only increased my sickness and inability to study.
 Last year was on the way to a gene ral breakdown in health; I suffered from severe headaches, was becoming a confirmed dyspeptic, nervous system broken down and my condition went on from bad to worse until I was unable to study or even go to school.
 My parents were very anxious about me as medicine did not help and Mother hearing about Grape-Nuts obtained some and l commenced to use it at once; I was very much surprised at the quick effect the food had on me.

HYPERION RE-OPENING.

Splendid Performance to Big House by Primrose & Dockstader's Minstrels.
 The Hyperion was informally opened last night for the theatrical season of
 1902 and 1903 last night. Primrose & Dockstader's minstrels held the boards and if their performance can be taken as criterion for the remainder of the productions to be seen at the popular i, playhouse this season the New Haven public can rest assured that they will have the opportunity of seeing the fin- est productions ever given here. The
 minstrel show last night was far above the standard for shows of it's kind and the audience which completely filled the
 house was more than pleased. The first part, showing the exterior scene from the Garden of the Gods in Italy, was superb from it's scenic point of view, | and presented picture which will long dwell in the minds of those who wit messed it, The vocal numbers were new and catchy and the vocalists of more than usual ability. The entire first part was par excellence. In the olio were presented number of new features which captivated the audience. The sunny, sunny south, in which an anil
 mated water melon was introduced was a fine picture of plantation life and gave opportunity for the introduction of ne-
 gro melodies. All the other numbers of the olio were cry good.
 After the performance number of the members of the company attended
 the social session of the New Haven
 Aerie Order of Eagles in their hall in
 Music hall building. There were num-
 Der of speeches by the visitors as well as the local members, after fine SUD-
 per had been dispensed with. Singing
 and fancy dancing served to make the
 remainder of the evening one of much pleasure.

A PROMINENT VISITOR.

General A. W. Greeley, of Washington, Entertained by General B. S. Greeley.
 General E. S. Greeley, vice president of the Yale National bank, entertained his relative, General A. w. Greeley, of Washington, D. C., last evening. The distinguished visitor from the national capital spent very pleasant evening in New Haven. He arrived in this city shortly after o'clock in the afternoon and was driven at once to the home of General Greeley on Trunbull street. Dinner was enjoyed at the Union League club, and while there General A. W. Greeley met many of the clubs members. The evening was spent in an informal manner and General Greel ey left the city on a late train for Washington.
 General A. W. Greeley occupies the official position of chief signal officer of the United States, with headquarters in l Washington, D. c. His career in the service of the United States government has been a most noteworthy one. He served in the civil war with great credit to himself and command. In 'S1 he was selected by the government to conn., mand the expedition sent into the Arc tic regions. There were twenty-five in the party. Two years were spent in the regions of the North Pole. General Greeley made two trips into the inter- for of Grinnell Land, discovering a lake sixty miles long, two new mountain ranges, several rivers and glaciers. In 'S3 the party started for home. After two months in sailing southward through the frozen regions they were obliged to camp for the winter at Cape Sabine. There they suffered greatly from the want of provisions and were forced to live on schrimps, lichens and boiled strips of sealskin. Sixteen mem bers of the party died of starvation, one was drowned and dnother shot. The seven survivors were finally rescued by Captain (now AdmiraD Schley. The men were in such an exhausted condi-. ton that forty-eight hours more would have found the party completely exter- minated. ,s'a :,a V
 General Greeley was appointed by President Cleveland in '87 to the posi- tion which he now holds. He has re- ceived the queens gold medal from the Royal Geographical Society of London. and has also been given a gold medal by the Paris Geographical Society. General Greeley has published several books of great geographical interest, and is prominent in all lines of geo. graphical study and research. $
