TO DEATH.
Negro Named LiscOmb or
Douglass Burned to j
Char Sunday.

Early last Sunday morning me-
gro cabin in the rear Of Granville
Oarter's yard on North Poplar street,
was destroyed by fire. The cabin was
rented and occupied by negro named
Douglass or Liscomb, and after the
fire was extinguished his charred re-
mains were found lying face down
ward in corner of one the rooms.
It was at first supposed that rob-
berry had been committed and the
negro murdered and the house set ON
fire to conceal the crime, but OH i'm
vestigation sum Of money was found
lying on the floor near the charred
body proving that such was not the
case. 1t is supposed that the negro
had imbibed too freely on Saturday
night and that the fire started from
the stove, and when the nergo nwoke
in stupified state he was unable to
locate the door by which to escape.
Coroner Giinsburger impaneled a.
jury and the verdict returned was
accidental burning.

Peary's Polar Expedition.

On his return from Europe recently
Commander Peary said there was no
truth in the report that he had nego
tiated for the purchase Of ship for
his next expedition to the Polar seas.
Commander Peary said he probably
would leave New York in July and try
to reach the north shore OF Grantland
and camp there until the coming OF
spring, when the dash to the pole will
be attempted.
II will make the hardest try to reach
the pole that has yet been made. II
can get my ship to the north shore
OF Grantland." he said, Il will answer
for the rest. am confident that shall
reach the pole. l am familiar with con-
ditions and | have the experience. l
know the road thoroughly and know
what will have to contend with. An
other reason is that have reached that
stage in my acquaintance with the
Esquimaux that I can utilize them as
l desire. II l get to Grantland l am
sure I can attend to the rest I will
also find a way to get back to the
ship"
Commander Peary said that his wife
would not accompany him this time.

ABOUT FEAR

Often Comes From Lack Of Riuhe
Food.
Napoleon said that the best fed
soldiers were his best soldiers, for
fear and nervousness come quickly
when the stomach is not nourished.
Nervous fear is a sure sign that the
body is not supplied with the right
food.
A Connecticut lady says: Fer
many years had been q sufferer from
l. digestion and heart trouble and In
almost constant fear of sudden death,
the most acute suffering possible.
Dieting brought on weakness, emacIa-
tion and nervous exhaustion and I
was a complete wreck physically and
almost q wreck mentally.
Il tried many foods. but could not
avoid the terrible nausea followed by
vomiting that came after eating until
tried Grape-Nuts. This food agreed
with my palate and stomach from the
start. This was about q year ago.
Steadily and surely change from
sickness to health came until now I
have no symptoms OF dyspepsia and
can walk 10 miles day without being
greatly fatigued. have not taken q
drop OF medicine since began tho
use OF Grape-Nuts and people say I
look many years younger than
really am.
my poor old sick body has been
made over and feel as though my
head had been too. Life is worth liv-
Ing now and expect to enjoy It for
