Washington, Sept. 23.-Scientists in
Washington placed Maj. Powell in the
foremost rank of the biologists and
anthropologists of the world.
Maj. Powells most notable scientific
work was his exploration of the Grand
Canon of the Colorado in the SOS. His
fellow workers say that he was not
only the first man who ever went
through the Colorado canon, but the
only one who so far has ever travelled
its entire length from Green River
station to the mouth of the canon. This
exploit, scientists say, was one of
the most notable geographical, geolog-
ical and chronological explorations and
surveys in the history of North Amer
lea.
Maj. Powell has been director of the
Bureau of American Ethnology since
he founded it, in 1879, and was also

NICK OF TIME.
A Discovery at the Right Moment

The Importance of finding the right
food is invaluable when the stomach
revolts and the nourishment of the body
becomes a problem.
Mrs. Fannie Hall of Orleans, N. Y,
was an invalid for over ten years, hard
" able to drag herself around the house
and nothing she ate seemed to nourish
her She had chronic diarrhoea, her
food did not digest and she was so ner-
vous she could not bear the least noise
or excitement.
She writes: about year ago 1 was
looking over a paper when the name of
Grape-Nuts caught my eye and deter
mined to try them. l sent for pack
age and have never been without them
since; they seem to be the thing need.
when commenced eating Grape
Nuts weighed us pounds, and now
weigh 145 pounds, and am well and do
my own work.
My children think they can not get
along without them and use a package
a day.

sert with cream, in preference to any
thing else. When 1 go away / always

GO UP AGAINST /
Buffalo and Wild West Show I'm.
able to Leave Town for
Want OF Funds.
Are Compelled to Give Bill Of
Sale for Buffalo TO Cover
Debts.
Think They Will be Able to Pay
Up by the First Of the
Week.

The Buffalo and Wild West Show
went up against it in this city, and as
| result are still here. and expect to stay
until Monday, at least, or perhaps long
| er, in case they are not able to settle up
bills contracted in this city. According
to members of the company the show
has been playing to nothing but rain
storms for the past few days, and as a
of town.
The afternoon audience of Friday
was extremely small, and as fast as the
admissions were taken in they were
paid out to creditors. No performance
was given in the evening. The COM
pany still owes in the neighborhood of
S112.50 and to satisfy their creditors
they gave Mr.. /. s. Finkle a bill of sale
for two of their buffalo until they could
raise the money to pay. They claim
that when they We're in Waterloo they
sold to the city of Omaha two of the
animals for which they were to receive
something like $500. They say they ex-
pect this money by Monday. They have
a herd of nine of these animals, that are
said to be worth from 5000 to $500
each. The bill of sale given Mr.. Finkle
covers the Indebtedness owed to several
different firms in the city. The men of
the company seemed DESTROYS of doing
the right thing and came up and stated
their condition without an attachment
being made. AT the same time they are
being watched that they do not attempt
to leave the city by the dark of night.
AS matter of fact, the company is de-
serving of but very little patronage.
but it is deserving of a certain amount
of credit for its evident desire to pay
it's bills.

sLLFER SAYS NO.
Northwestern Superintendent Says
MarshaIItown Was Not Meant to Be
Excepted in New Rule Concerning
tnIa d;nn of pasSenners

Northwestern Superintendent Says
MarshaIItown Was Not Meant to Be
Excepted in New Rule Concerning
Unloading Of Passengers.
Superintendent II. j. Slifer, of the
Iowa division of the Chicago & North
western railway, was in the city Friday
afternoon. incidentally it rained, and
for the eighth or ninth time this sum
mer the station platform was over
flowed and practically submerged. 1t
was an excellent opportunity for Mr..
Slifer to witness the result of his new
order, when passengers were compelled
to wade thru the water to the south
side of the train, stand in the rain until
those leaving the train had alghted,
only to swear to themselves because
they were compelled to wait until the
train pulled out or else wade in water
over their shoe tops in order to get
around the train and under the depot
shed.
In speaking Of the new order to t.
r. man Mr.. Slifer said there was moth
ing he could do at present to relieve the
situation I'VE can't afford to run the
risk of killing people, he said. land
that is just what we came pretty near
doing the other night. 1t was this very
incident that made me decide to issue
and enforce the order. A man on No. II
the other night got in the way Of 16,
and it was by the merest chance that
we didn't hit him. We can't afford to
take these chances and will have to fol-
low out rules such as are observed by
other double track lines
Mr.. Slifer explained further that he
knew as we'll as any one that the new
order of affairs was annoying, as well
as inconvenient to passengers, and es-
pecially was it so at this. large trans
fer point. He says Marshalltown al
ways has been a bad place because Of
so many trains at one time, and the
heavy traffic. 1t is on account Of the
night trains. being in here at once as
they are both morning and evening,
that the new order is made. 1t doesn't
matter so much during the day time,
for people can see and are better able
to care for themselves, but at night
strangers are liable to get in front of
trains.
Mr.. Slifer says that he hopes some
day to Sc subway built here and in
that way avoid the danger. While he
does not as yet consider this even a
possibility for the near future, he feels
that the matter may be considered at
some time, providing drainage condi-
tons will permit.
Mr.. Sitter took occasion to reprmand
one of the Portland special brakeman
who, in order to accommodate passen-
gers, opened a vestibule on the north
side. Mr.. Slifer informed the trainman
that If he had intended rainy days to
be excepted it would have been SO stat
ed in his bulletin.

seven were on Wednesday night. SO
that it has been impossible, in many
cases, for pastors to be present at the
