We had the pleasure of a visit
last Wednesday evening from MI.
Albert Dee, organist aud organ
builder, late pupil of DR.. A. Gaul
MusBachelor, of England. Mr..
Dee has been here for the past
five weeks repairing the organ OF
st. Peters Catholic Church and
making such arrangements as
were necessary to the attaching of
water motor to the organ to
facilitate its easy handling, all of
which he accomplished in the
most skilled and satisfactory way.
He says the organ is one Of the
largest and finest to be found any
where outside of New Orleans, and
he was surprised to see such one
here. Mr.. Dee is polished and
pleasant gentleman and has been
very favorably impressed with our
city and people. He was accom-
panied by genial Father FROM,
whom all love, esteem and honor

George W. Morgan. who has been held a prisoner several weeks on thirteen diff ferent charges growing out of the deben- ture company troubles. made bond for $5400 yesterday afternoon and was re- leased from the Jefferson County jail. To his wife Morgan owes his temporary freedom. Ills dreary days in prison have been relieved by frequent encouraging letters from her, and finally when all other efforts failed she mortgaged her home at Hogansvilie, Ga, to secure his bondsmen. The minute he emerged from the prison walls he sent her telegram saying he was out on bond and later left for his home

SURRENDERED To Hot Biscuits and Warm Pie.

Bombarding a stomache with hot bls- cults and warm pie. plenty of butter ba- cen, greasy potatoes, and few other choice delicacies will finally cause the Notifications to give way Then how to build back on good food is worth know ing.
 A man in Factoryyille Pa, attacked his stomach in about this way and says: 'The sign of surrender was plain in my white, colorless face. At that time every article of food distressed me, and heart burn kept me in continued misery. I liked all sorts of breakfast foods but they did not agree with me. Of course much of the food that I ate contained nourish- n.ent, but my stomach could not get the nourishment out. tried pepsin and other aids to digestion, which worked for time and then gave out.
 Finally I reasoned, when in an extrem- ity, that if the stomach could not digest the food why not take some food that was already digested like Grape-Nuts. So I started in on Grape-Nuts and the new food won my palate straight away and agreed with me beautifully.
 The heavy. oppressive feeling disap- peared and I became thoroughly im- pressed with the new food and began to improve at once. Little by little my strength came back and slowly and sure ly I gained my lost weight. The wasted tissues and muscles built up, and today I am well. buoyant and strong.
 I unreservedly give the chief credit to Grape-Nuts. which met me in crisis and brought me over the dark period of de- spondency. Nothing else did it, for noth- ing else could be endured.
 Please withhold my name.' Name can be given upon application to the Postum Co. Battle Creek Mich

When they had gone about 50 feet one of the negroes turned and fired twice. the second all hitting Williams in the head and killing him instantly. Shortly after that Arthur Perry was capt ured with his father who had a winches ter and S2 calibre pistol with which it is said Arthur shot Williams The coro- ner's jury returned verdict of murder in the first degree.
