TRUE FOOD Always Cures Dyspepsia

Wrong food brings penalties.
 A lady in Lone Tree, Okla, found this out. After suffering for years with dyspepsia, she says:-
 Many times I could not eat any, thing; sometimes I drank little hot milk, at other times the Highest food distressed me so that death would have been gladly welcomed as a relief. was weak and listless and unable to work for want of strength.
 ' Two years ago a dear friend earnestly recommended me to try Grape Nuts as she had found it most valuable food. I commenced to use it iInmediat tely and the benefit ] received in an incredibly short time was almost marvellous.
 Words cannot express the joy and thankfulness felt when I found I was relieved of that dreadful distress from indigestion that l had been experience ing after each neal.
 After continued use, health and strength returned; I began to enjoy life and go among my friends again so much improved that remarks were made about my good health. I sleep well now sit all day with perfect ease and comfort and sew and work as like I wish ' could induce every sui ferer from dyspepsia to use Grape Nuts" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

journment is taken and there promises to be a lively debate over it.
 TCday's convention was opened with the reading of numerous telegrams from all sections cf the country in cluding one from Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture which is as follows:
 Il cordially greet delegates to the ir- riEation convention. Your meeting to consider irrigation proclaims the dawn inS of a new day for the great west. Let the forest be preserved to husband the rainfall; let streams be led out over the valleys that homes may b. multi piled for American farmers and still greater prosperity come to our people
 Senator IT. NJ Teller in the course of his remarks on the bill passed by congress at the last session said he considers it the most important act passed during his entire public career O: thirty years.

as they did for the excellent discipline displayed by them.
 During the day the Sons of Veterans began their encampment. A monument to the late General Fl. G. Wright, one time commander of the Sixth army corps, was unveiled at Arlington.
 All day long a constant stream of visitors and veterans moved by the temporary White House and looked up at the window of the room on the sec ond floor which is occupied by the pres ident. At times several hundred people were collected on the sidewalk opposite. Many old veterans ascended the steps and inquired concerning the president. All expressed qualification when toll that the president might be out to- morrow.
 Pension Commissioner Ware this aft ernoon rendered a reception to the members of the G. A. R. in the pension office building. The entire staff of 1.4OO employees constituted the committee. Following the formal meeting of the commissioned and Commander in Chief Torrance and staff the public exercises began on the tented grand stand. Com missioner Ware delivered an address of welcome, to which a feeling of response vas made by Commander Torrance. The reception to the comrades then be- gan.

 During the day there were a number of reunions of regiments. divisions corps and assemblies. All of them were fcld in the large tents of Camp Rocse- velt They began at 10 o'clock in tho fNr enoon and there was an almost con- tinuous flow of oratory and song from that hour until late at night. The huge tent which has been given the name of General Philip Sheridan was crowded during the afternoon. Among the prin- cipal speakers was General J. H. Will son. He referred to the proposal to erect a monument to General R. E. Lee, saying our monuments should be to men who assisted in keeping the flag flying, and not to those who would have pulled it down if they could have done so.
 Captain William NJ. Potter of the Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry endorsed Wilson's sentiments on the flag ques-
 ton. He said he had been present when Joe Johnston surrendered to Sher- man, and then had heard General Wade Hampton, in command of the confed- crate cavalry, swear he would lead the cavalry to Mexico before it should capitulate

Washington, October 7.-The veterans of the c. A.

The attendance has steadily increased dur ing the day and tonight and the city is crowded as it has been only on very rare occasions. The naval parade this forenoon was not as large as many seen in Washington, but was in every way interesting. The veterans of the navy each appeared to be the embodi- ment of much of the nations recent history. and every squad of them was the object of interested observation. They were generally old men, and many bore evidences of wounds received in battle In striking contrast with them were young men of all branches of the present service which marched with them as an escort of honor as it were. This escort included representatives Of beth the land and naval forces, and they elicited as much favorable com ment for their fine appearance as men

 One policeman was hit on the foot by a brick and another of the non-unlon men, who is a prisoner, was roughly handled but not badly hurt. Cars were badly damaged by bricks and stones and all the glass was broken.
 Four cars started with non-unlon motormen and conductors, each carry ing eleven policemen, while a hundred policemen massed in the vicinity, but when the first car reached Tonti street the strikers and sympathizers made a rush, got possession and won the day with ease. The police made no show of resisting the assault.
 The company informed Mayor Capde- vile that the police protection was in adequate, and the mayor issued a call for thousand volunteer citizen police. Responses to the call have been few. and it looks now as though the militia would be called out.

FIELDS
 BURNING AGAIN
Rumored That Twenty Persons Have
 Perished.

Beaumont, Tex. October S-Another great fire more disastrous than the con hagration of a few weeks ago is sweep ing over the oil field tonight. causing a property loss of thousands of dollars and a possible loss of life. IL is ru- mcred that twelve persons have per ished. but the report can not be COZ tirmed at this hour.
 The fire broke out shortly before n o'clock. and with remarkable rapidity it spread to many derricks in the HoEg- Swayne tract. The encrOachment of the flames was so rapid that many people were caught in the fiery path. and at midnight it was rumored that twelve persons had perished and that the fatal ities may reach twenty. The entire Hogg Swayne tract. comprising one of the largest sections in the oil fields. will in all probab bilty be burned
 At 1 a. m. it is rumored that fifty-five of the Hcgg- -Swayne derricks and few others are destroyed. and over 100 are still burning. It is said that five tanks of the Hogg- -Swayne syndicate are i'm perilled and the tract seems doomed

DEMAND FOR WOOL.

Boston, October Big transactions in wool have been the feature of the market here this week, eliminating in very large purchases by big manufac- turing concerns. Very large quantities of wool have been contracted for during this time, variously set at from 15,0OO- OOO to 3OOOO,C00 pounds.
 Transactions very large and import ant have greatly strengthened the mar ket not only in the remarkable reduc- tion of available stocks but in the fact that some transactions were at one cent per pound better prices than the same wool bought a few days ago.
 Territory wool is in a stronger posi- ton. The large volume of recent trans actions comes out of territory wool and hence the available stocks are greatly reduced. Quotations for fine staple ter ritory, 55G56c; strictly fine, 5O055C fine and medium, 5Gd53c; medium, f5047c.
