Bark Wikstrom.

New York, Aug. 7.-Beriberi killed

the Swedish bark p wikstrom. Jr..

Canarias, says a letter to the Herald
from Port of Spain. Trinidad under date
of August b. The survivors, misshapen

WANTS CANTEEN BACK.
Gen. Grant Says 1t Is Enlisted Sold
ier's Club Room.

Washington. Aug. 27.-General Fred
erick d. Grant, commanding the de-
partment of Texas, in his annual re-
port just received at the war depart
ment, makes a plea for the re-establish-
ment of the canteen for the army.
mo argument" says General
Grant, can be too earnest for the re-
esta blishment of the canteen- Aside
from other recreation features of gar
rison life, the canteen, which is the en-
listed soldiers club room, is a protect
ed circle into which no vice or degra
dalton can intrude. There the soldier
IS guaranteed certain privileges which,
so long as not abused, prove bulwark
against the temptations and dangers
that now surround almost every post
in the army and especially border and
remote posts.
ITO close the doors of the soldiers
garrison club and send him out into
the haunts of iniquity and vice run by
moral vultures who, degraded them
selves. set up no standard of morality,
but. breaking down all barriers of re-
straint. invite and induce soldiers to
ioin in all sorts of depravity and in
fanny. is a wrong to the soldier as well
as a wrong TO the community in which
the soldier is located

RISE IN SILVER.
Several Reasons Assigned for the
SHARP Advance.

New York, Aug. 27.-The sharp ad-
vance in the price of bar silver in the
London and New York markets during
the past few weeks has carried it to the
highest mark since November, 1901 For
nearly six months the markets has been
on the upward move. Representa- tives
here of the large smelling interests say
the rise is partly due to a heavy demand
from India. Large wholesale dealers in
that country are distributing a good
deal Of the metal to the retail trade. In
addition, it is believed that there was
recently a considerable short interest in
the metal. Silver is a favoFite article
of speculation among London bullion
dealers.
1t is believed by some that the British
government is buying silver, although
this can not be confirmed. France is
buying rather freely to supply a de-
mand for coinage in the French posses
sions in Asia. The position of China is
not clear at the moment beyond the fact
that. where China at the close of last
year was unloading a large surplus of
the metal, thus coming in competition
with shipments from the west, it has
now ceased to be a seller.
The purchases of the United States
government for Philippine coinage also
have been factor.

SITUATION IMPROVES.
Water Falling at Marysville Very
Rapidly.

Marysville. Kan. Aug. 27.-The flood
situation in Marysville is somewhat re-
lieved. The river has fallen about ten
feet but is not yet in its banks. At
ter did more damage than it did here.
Vermillion creek, which runs south of
Frankfort. was twenty-six feet above
low water mark and nearly every bus
mess house in town had water in it
from four to eighteen inches deep.
A man named Pickett is missing at
Frankfort. He was seen to signal for
help from the railroad bridge at s
o'clock and then disappeared from
view. A boat was secured and the
creek was searched but he has not yet
been found. 1t is thought he was
drowned. At Barrett, on the Vermi
lion, water was running over the
counters in the only store in town.

GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
Back.

BACK.
The man of today no matter what his
calling, needs a sharp brain and to get
this he needs food that not only gives
muscle and strength but brain and nerve
power as we'll.
A carpenter and builder of Marquette,
Mich, who is energetic and wants to
advance in his business read an article
about food in religious paper and in
speaking of his experience he said: up
to three years ago had not been able
to study or use my thinking powers to
any extent There was something lack
ing and 1 know now that it was due to
the fact that my food was not rebuild
ing my brain.
about this time I began the use of
the condensed food Grape-Nuts and the
result has been / can think and plan
with some success. It has not only re-
built my brain until it is stronger and
surer and more active but my muscles
are also harder and more firm where
they used to be loose and soft and my
stomach is now in perfect condition 1

of fatigue and my nights rest always

the fact that I have found a perfect

THOMPSON In RACE.
Jackson County Was After A. W.
Walkers Laurels.

w. A. Thompson. county treasurer Of
Jackson county. has formally announc-
ed his candidacy for the Republican
noraina ton for railroad commissioner
next year. A dispatch from Holton

Mr.. Thompson became a candidate

Republican club. which is composed
largely of active business men. His
qualifications and fitness for the posi-
ton are conceded by all Darties.'
AS Holton is also the home of A. D.
Walker. the present senior member of

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

The story of The Volunteer" the
play in which Cora Van Tassell will be
seen here at the New Crawford Sunday
night is woven around an incident con-
nected with the Civil war, but in such
manner as not to cause any offense to
either the North or the South. The
play is a romantic drama in four acts
and a vista. Miss Van Tassell's part
was written especially for her, and it
is claimed in this particular role of Pan
sy Chadburn, a charming southern girl,
that she is a Laughing Doll" She
never played a part that was better
suited to her abilities.
Work and Wages will be the ini-
tial bill Of Earle & Martelrs American
Stock company at the New Crawford
next week, where il opens a three night
engagement on Tuesday night. On this
night women accompanied by those
holding 80 cent seats secured before 6
D. m. Tuesday will be admitted free and
the sale starts Saturday morning The
World and "DuBarry'' viii be the
other two plays to be given. The COM
pany is about to close a long summer
season in Sioux City and is highly
spoken of by the press there.
