One Neal q Day Not Enough Fol
a Healthy Man.
Crawford White in q Hospital
After 100 Day Test.
CONDITION is CRITICAL
Head Bell &c Boy" Of a Kansas
City Hotel Had q Theory.
Tried to Improve His Health by
q Starving Process.

Kansas City, Kan. July 26.-Craw ford
Jerome White head bell boy at the
St Margaret's hospital, to which place
he was removed from the hotel several
days ago. His condition is the outcome
OF an effort to demonstrate a theory OF
his own that one scant meal a day
is sufficient to maintain life properly.
White, who is an eccentric old negro.
was brought to Kansas City last year
from Milwaukee by Mr.. King and MI.
Hall when they assumed the manage
ment of the Midland. Being 81 years
Of age and not exceptionally strong the
change of climate affected him adj
versely. Each time he felt indisposed
White attributed his condition to over
eating. Finally, about April /, he made
up his mind that three meals day
was more than nature called for and
he decided to take less nourishment.
Accordingly he began, about April 5, to
eat but one meal day, his idea being
to see what effect 100 days of partial
starvation would have on his health.
The meal White ate daily was all
ways very frugal one, frequently
nothing more than a couple of slices OF
of milk. He dined at 11:30 a. m.
promptly. and nothing could induce him
to partake of more nourishment unit!
the same hour the following day. He
clared, and each day if he could he cur
tailed the food allowance further. The
old negro actually gloried in his test
even when he grew SO weak he could
hardly preform the lightest duties con-
nected with his position.
Crawford grew thinner every day, it
seemed. Stolidly he stuck to his pur-
pose, however, turning a deaf ear to all
suggestions and even entreaties. made
by his friends at the hotel, that he re-
sumo his former diet. Each time he was
asked about his health he would de-
clare: I'm feelin' better than ever"
About ten days ago the old negro
completed his one hundred-day test"
and began taking more hourishment. It
was too late, however The more he
ate it seemed, the weaker he grew and
finally he was compelled to give ur
working altogether. Five days ago.

sent to ST. Margaret's hospital.
White has served as a bell boy and
as chief bell boy for nearly % years.
Twenty-one years he spent at the
Plankington hotel in Milwaukee. He is
a native of Arkansas and possesses the
politeness and faithfulness OF the old
fashioned southern darkey. During his
long hotel service Crawford has become
widely known and he classes as his "ac-
quaintances'' many of the most dis
tinguished men of the United States.
Bernard Phelps. a clerk at the Mid
land, has known White 16 years. He
says the old negro has always been
faithful, sober and willing to do his
share of the work Crawford Is a bach

Concerning the amount of work being done on Gold Run and the Bluestone, J. C. Murray, of Sullivan City, undel date of February l, writes T. r. Whit tren, of this city, as follows:
 "Here, in Sulli>an City, there are some forty people putting in the winter, and the most uf them are prospecting their C aims or claims for other owners. ".,t the present time the most inter- esting news in the Gold Run country i9 the two quartz mines that are being worked on Alder creek, and they claim to get better and better ore as they go farther down on the lodges. The ore is some kind of zinc. and they claim 10 have il in paying quantities. They are down some fifty feet on the clam owned by Mike Sullivan, Seiil'ert and others. On Jack Sulllvan's claim they are looks better than on the other one be- ing worked by Mikes men.
 "I believe that the right fork of the Bluestone will be the best creek in the district. for it has been overlooked by the first stampeders, and this winter it is receiving quite little attention. On No. they claim to have good pay, and are working with steam thawci. On No. above the mouth they are also working with steam thawer, and are getting fair pay.
 1.-Two men are sinking on Bould, r creek, and are down some So feet, but have not reached bedrock. they are in very good spirits. for the gravel that they are now in carries q little gold, and they think that before long the old channel will be discovered.

Whiskey Discovered In a Cave

Nothing too good for the patrons oi Board Oi Trade. Just received D bar relS of MOOnshine corn whiskey that was made in 1870 by Harris Tyson Tn the Blue Ridge mountain district of North Carolina and being made contrary to law was hid in a cave to prevent the government from collecting the rev enue. He stored 1OJ barrels in this cave. Some ten years later he was killed by a revenue officer and the whiskey was forgotten, until 1900 when his son, Harris Tyson, Jr., discovered the entrance to this cave and entered for half mile when he was attracted by a very pleasant OdOr. Having a desire to locate the OdOr he cont inued q little further where he discovered a pile of half decayed slaves and iron hoops and a short distance ahead he came to a small lake and on examining it he found 1t to be whiskey. It had been put up ia barrels with iron hoops which had rusted and broke and let the whiskey out and it formed this lake. He immediately set up a distill- cry aad refined the whiskey. getting only 90 barrels out of the original 600. It is as pure as whiskey can be made, being made from white flint corn and pure mountain water and has never passed through the hands of any Jew rectifier or wholesale dealers. Try it straight or as hot toddy and you will say 1t is the proper thing. We also handle Duff Gordon Sherry, vintage 1885; O. V. o. Spanish Port, vintage 1875: Old Imported Martell Brandy, vintage 1881.
