FOOD VS. RECREATION.
Good Food of the Greatest Importance

Good Food of the Greatest Importance.
 There Is really no need to go away for rest if one will take scientifically made food that rebuilds the nerve centers and makes work a comfort and pleasure.
 One of our prominent novelists was sent to Colorado. "'Ride every day sleep in a tent, eat when you are hungry my physician told me, but food did not satisfy me and rest would not end the fatigue that had me in it's grip. was mere machine; eating, sleeping, walking, riding, but unequal to 8 days work and with no zest for the days pleasure.
 At the lowest ebb of strength and courage, my eye fell on piece of news paper with which my guide was making camp fire, and picked it up and read Grape Nuts, a Food for Brain and Nerve Centers' I read on: it seemed to be a description of my own case cured by diet of Grape-Nuts. I sent for a supply of the Food by the next pack train that left my camp. It came, 45 miles from the nearest settlement, on a burro's back. That night eat Grape Nuts without cream, milk or sugar. It tasted good. I felt that for the first time in six months, I had been fed
 went to my bed of pine boughs, slept like tired child, and woke rested. Then knew that had found what I needed, better than a new sky, better than ex- ercise, better than rest, because lacking the food that exhausted nature was crying for, these things could not help me.
 I am well now. If, in the future, I win any rewards by my pen. I shall count them gained by the food that made work possible to me, and that gave back to me my old joy in living" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

ls6 Delegates Representing Eleven
 states Present - R esoiutions Adopted
 Detroit, Oct. 9.-The 186 delegates representing eleven states who attended the inter state conference on the coal situation here to-day. adopted resolu- tions tonight, after much debate, urg- ing the president to institute civil pro- ceedings looking to the enforcement of the interstate commerce act against the coal companies and criminal pro- ceedings against their officers, petition ing the governor of Pennsylvania to cali special session ot the legislature of that state to condemn all the coal carrying roads and sufficient of the mines to supply the demands of the people. Further the resolution petitions the president to call a special session of the House of Representatives and to recommend to them the appointment of a committee with full power to investi- gate the cause of the strike and to place the blame therefor. A supple mental resolution urges the president to at once institute proceedings to dis solve "the president combination of the coal operators" and to have receiver appointed to operate the mines.

no preconceived opinions of the facts. Oftentimes while pursuing the practice Of law he could convince the jury and two-the lawyer on the other side and his client.
 But want you to give me the credit of being fair. I want you to leave aside politics and look at the questions as they are. There are political principles that have always, will always and must always bring disaster; there are other principles that have always, will always and must always bring good results. What divides parties? It is not wealth Wealthy men are in both parties and both parties nominate wealthy men sometimes. What divides parties are measures and principles. I wish to speak to you tonight on principles and measures. No man is so old but he does not remember when the tariff was not the question.
 '"There was a time when most colleges taught free trade. Free trade is correct in theory, if you are going to legislate for the whole world. But your con- gressman and senator here care only to legislate for this country and they let all the other countries of the world take care of themselves. Free trade for the entire world is all right, but as long as we have these notional dividing lines it is all wrong. < The democratic party has always taught that we should buy in the markets where were the cheapest things the world produces, and the peo- pie should be protected in purchasing the cheapest possible things. The re- publican party taught that the Ameri- can people should control their own markets, and that the people who sup ply those markets should be the best housed, the best fed the best informed and the best paid people in the world, and that we should protect them. The democrats have always contended for a tariff for revenue only. We have tried tariff framed on that principle and it always led to disaster. The best results from a tariff for revenue only was be- tween the years 1898 and 1896. This seems strange statement, but I can establish the fact historically. Recent ly while was addressing an audience in the west a man ninetyr three years old was sitting on the platform. He was clear of brain and bright of eye. I asked him if he remembered when times were best under tariff for rev. enue only, and he said during MT. Clevelands last administration. Under such tariff we never had any better times, but then the democrats gave us the best they could" |
 The secretary said that the democrats put in more time in trying to discover an issue with which to carry cam paign than they did to formulate poll icy of administration.
 In ante-bellum days there was man named Major Jack Downing, who was wrig, but used to write under the pre- text that he was a democrat. He was the first man who wrote that way Many people thought he was demo-

TEXT OF MITCHELL,S REPLY
Tells President He Cannot Trnst Opera
 tors-Therefore His Deoiimatiom.

Tells President He Cannot Trnst Opera tors-TherefOre His Destination. Washington, Oct. 9.-President Nit chell of the United Mine Workers of America has refused to comply with the appeal of President Roosevelt to call the strike off. His letter to the presi- dent, which was made public at the
 white house to-day. says that the re-
 sponsibility for the continuance of the strike should be placed upon those who have refused arbitration. Following is the text of the letter:
 Office National President United Mine Workers of America.
 John Mitchell, National President; Second Vice-President American Fed eration of Labor
 Hotel Hart, Wilkesbarre, Pa, October i 8, 1902.
 Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of
 the United States, Washington, D. C.: Dear Sir: Hon. Carroll D. Wright
 has no doubt reported to you the deliv-
 cry of your message to me last Monday
 and my statement to him that I should
 take your suggestion under advisement,
 although I did not look upon it with
 favor. Since that time I have consult
 ed with our districts presidents, who
 concur fully in my views.
 We desire to assure you again that we feel keen the responsibility of our position and the gravity of the situa-
 tion, and 1t would give us great pleas
 ure to take any action which would bring this coal strike to an end in
 manner that would safeguard the in- terests of our constituents.
 ''In proposing that there be an imme-
 diate resumption of coal mining upon the conditions we suggested in the con- ference at the white house we believed that we had gone more than half way
 and had met your wishes. It is neces-
 sary in this letter to refer to the
 malicious assault made upon us in the
 response of the coal operators. We feel
 confident that you must have been inn
 pressed with the fairness of our propo-
 sition and the insincerity of those who maligned us.
 Having in mind our experience with the coal operators in the past, we have I no reason to feel any degree of con- fidence in their willingness to do us justice in the future; and, inasmuch as they have refused to accept the decis- ion of a tribunal selected by you, and inasmuch as there is no law through
 which you could enforce the findings of the commission you suggest we respect fully decline to advise our people to re- turn to work simply upon the hope that the coal operators might be induced or
 forced to comply with the recommenda-
 tions of your commission.
 'As stated above, we believe that we went more than half way in our pro- posal at Washington, and we do not feel that we should be asked to make further sacrifice We appreciate your solicitude for the people or our country, who are now and will be subjected to
 great suffering and inconvenience by prolongation of the coal strike, and we feel that the onus of this terrible state
 of affairs should be placed upon the
 side which has refused to defer to fair and impartial investigation.
 T am respectfully,
 JOHN MITCHELL. ''PleS;GA,lt U. M. W. of A."

FUEL SUPPLY COMMITTEE
Met Last Night fla City Hall and Heard
 Several Cisizens.

Last night there was public hear ing in the city hall of the fuel supply committee, the members present being Charles S. Hamilton, E. G. Frederick, John W. Foley, William Trueman, Q. A. Lyman, Elmer E. Norton, George Wal lace and George M. Wallace.
 The meeting was not very largely at- tended, but nearly all present had a word to say in regard to the coal situa- tion, and many of the suggestions of- fered will doubtless prove of value to the committee when it comes to order | ing fuel for the poor of the city. The question of peat came up and on the suggestion of one of the men at the hearing the committee will investigate the possibilities more fully than they have been and will doubtless give the suggestion a great deal of considera- tion. It was stated that one man alone in East Haven had fifty-siX acres of the peat bog that he was turning into fuel, and that he was charging less than $6 ton for it. Orders for fifty tons
 have been sent in to him by people of the neighborhood, who believe that the people will buy that in preference to wood every time.
 Many of the people at the hearing re- marked that in their respective wards the suffering of the poorer people at the present time is far greater than ap- pears on the surface. The men who testified stated that in their opinion about one-fifth of the people in their wards were supplied with coal or wood, and that the other four-ifths were in a quandary as to what to do. The cold weather is near at hand and every eff fort of the controller and the commit tee which is empowered to purchase fuel will be made to help the people out, even if it IS only for short time.

RANGE AND PENETRATION

Of New "Krag" Rifle Illustrated by
 Anecdote Of Spanish-American War.
 The New Orleans Times Democrat prints a story showing the power of the new military rife One of the best and most remarkable shots made dur ing the late war with Spain,'' said a man who made an effort to get into the thick of the fight, was, in my judg- ment, made at Miami, and the man who fired the shot was Louisiana boy and a member of my company. He was do- ing duty as provost guard at the time It was late in the night when the sol diers were aroused by the quick, clear crack of a Krag-Jorgensen on the out skirts of the camp. No particular at tention was paid to the matter at first, as only one shot was fired. But with a couple of officers we went out to where the guard was stationed, in order to find out just why it was that he had fired at that time of night. He ex- plained that he had seen a man slip ping through the bushes some distance away, and had called on him to halt. He failed to obey the command, and the guard blazed away at him, more to frighten him into a stop than anything else. Of course the fellow never halted. He was probably too badly frightened to stop at that time.
 While we were talking to the guard we heard fearful noise at least a half mile from the guards station, and we made break for the place to see what the matter was. We heard several peo- pie screaming as if in great agony. Down the road we went at full speed, and in a short while we came upon a little cabin which stood on the roadside. The noise was in this cabin, and never heard such grooming and wailing in my life. We found three men in the house. They were in great agony, and we asked them what was the matter. We hace been shot hey said and. sure enough, they had been shot. One was shot in the right arm, another in the back, and the third in the hip. They had all been wounded by the same bull let. The man who was wounded in the arm was lying on his right side. The ball had passed through his arm. Next to him one of his companions was sprawled out on his back, and the bull let had split the hide on this part of his anatomy as smoothly as knife. It then passed through the fieshy part of the third mans hip, and sped on to God knows where. We could not find the ball: It had passed through the side of the house, wounded the three men in the way indicated, bored through the wall on the opposite side, and kept on going, and there is no telling how many trees the ball passed through before it reached the cabin.
 Now that cabin was fully half mile from the point where the guard was stationed, and yet the shot he fired had wrought all the havoc we found. The ball had plowed it's way through the woods and into, and out of the cab in, and | suppose it is going yet. It shows what kind of guns we fight with in these days
