FIRE AT LEBANON, N. H.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 Loss and
Fire Still Burning.

Lebanon, n. H., Jan. 10.-The worst
fire that Lebanon has known in her
history broke out at 1880, this morn
ing, in the rear of the building occu-
pied by w. e. Mudgett & Co., as a
grocery store in the thickly settled part
of the town. Two structures had been
burned up to o'clock, entailing a loss
at that time of between $50, 900 and $35,
900. A high wind prevailed and the
weather was bitterly cold.
The block occupied by Mudgett & Co.
was of wood two and a half stories IN
height and was also occupied by F. D.
Baker & Son, butchers, and one tenant,
Bert Hall. The adjoining two and q
half story building was occupied by c.

1t requires no cooking, having been
thoroughly and skillfully cooked by ex-
pert bakers. 1t is ready for immediate
service. 1t is economical, for but four
heaping teasroonfuis are required for
the cereal portion of the meal.
This does not mean make your en-
tire meal Of four heapiRg teaspoonfuls
of Grape Nuts; it means that is the
proper amount for that part of the
meal and you may depend upon it the
system will absorb more valuable nour-
ishment from that -four heaping tea
spoonfuls than from many times the
weight Of other food.
1t is particularly intended to take the
place Of the quantities of white bread
now in too free use by most families.
Our remarks on white bread may dis
please some but we stand for prin-
ciple in this matter and know exactly
whereof We speak.
There are on file in our office not
hundreds but thousands of letters from
people in all parts of the world giving
descriptions of distress, disease, and
ill-hea1th from the use of improper
food, and detailing the health and COM
fort that has come from a rearrange-
ment Of their diet along our lines.
We advise for breakfast a little fruit
cooked or raw, a dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream, two soft boiled eggs and q,
cup Of Postum Coffee. Let it go at

DISCUSSED in CABINET.
Venezuelan Situation, Beet Sugar
and Mississippi Postmistress.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The cabinet
was in session nearly two hours, today,
all the members except Secretary Root,
who is in New York, being present.
Secretary Hay had. little to report on
the Venezuelan situation. Satisfaction
was expressed at the action taken,
yesterday, by the representatives of the
American Beet Sugar Association,
though regret was expressed that the
action was not unanimous.
1t was decided that the resignation
of Mrs. Minnie Cox as postmaster at
Indianola, Miss, will not be accepted
and the question of re-opening the Of
fee is left for further action. 1t is
felt by the administration that to ac-
cept the resignation at this time would
establish a bad precedent.

57TH CONGRESS.
Private Pension Day in House
and 144 Passed.
Russell, Texas, Charges Undue Haste
in Passing Such Bills.
The Cabinet Meetins-New Anti Trust
Bill Expected, Today.

Washington, Jan. 9.-This was pri-
Tate pension day in the House and IA
bills were passed, none Of especial i'm
portance. Mr.. Russell, Texas, the sue
cessor of the late Mr. DeGraffenried
criticised the House for undue haste in
the discussion of private pension bills
and precipitated quite a debate. He
called attention to the fact that since
the Civil War 10000 special bills had
been passed by Congress, over 1000 OF
these in the first session of the present
Congress.
When the House met, Hull, Ia,
chaidman of the committee on military
affairs, reported the military appro-
priation bill, and gave notice that he
would call it up on Monday. This be-
ing Friday, the House went into CON-
mittee of the whole to consider private
pension bills.
Russell, Texas, vigorously protested
against the haste with which private
pension bills We're passed. Since the
Civil War, he said, about 10000 private
bills have been passed, over one-tenth
of them during the first session of this
congress. He thought the pension
bureau should be allowed to administer
the pension laws and that favoritism
by Congress should cease.
Tracey, Ia, replied that the cases be-
fore Congress We're cases which the
general pension laws could not relieve.
The fact that only 10000 bills had
passed in 40 years, he thought sufficient
proof of the care and discriminat ton
exercised by Congress.
One hundred and forty-four bills were
passed. The Speaker appointed Dear
mond Mo-, on the conference commit
tee on the Anarchist hill to fill the va
carey caused by the resignation of
Lanham, Texas. AT 405, the House ad.

Of grinding grain to the present method OF
roller mills and excessively ine boiling

the large cities. and appendicitis began TO
increase frst there. Later the new process
crowded out the small mills in the coun-

by the old processes. They bought products
pf the large milling establishments. and
then the farmers began TO have Appendix

Still the negroes OF the south cid not

from their plain corn bread, and they. too
began to have apper dicitis.; So it goes. They

SECOND FIGHT OF : * l.: FEE: e:
=: ;;:, THE MONITOR HERO
copyright, 1903, by G. L. Kilmer.]

Copyright 1903 by G. L. Kilmer.]
~ N the 28th of February, 1863,
Captain John l.. Worden, the
hero Of the Monitor Merrimac
battle, won fresh laurels with
new and improved type of
Nronclad. While attacking Fort Meal
lister, Ga, with the Montauk, one Of
Captain Ericsson's later creations, he
incidentally wiped out with hot shot
rthe Confederate cruiser Nashville, the
:dlrst armed cruiser put 4afloat by the
south.
Worden's injuries in the fight with
sthe Merrimac disabled him for several
smonths. He joined Dupont's south
Atlantic squadron in January, 1868,
with the Montauk and lost no time in
stesting the new war engine. Admiral
sDupont's task was to maintain a
zblockade against Charleston and keep
the enemy's ships from carrying arms
or supplies from England to the pent-
up Confederacy. McAllister stood at
the mouth Of the Ogeechee river on
the Georgia coast to guard the chan
mel and shield the movements of Con-
:federate blockade runners using that
sentrance, one of the few which the
Federals had not securely closed. 1t
was at the southern extremity of the
coast region which Dupont was at
tempting to subjugate.
At the time of Worden's arrival the
confederate cruiser Nashville was up
the Ogeechee river watching for q
schance to elude Dupont's vigilant fleet
and get to sea. The ship had already
made history as daring blockade
runner. She was fine, swift side
wheel steamer built for trade between
federates seized her after the fall Of
Sumter, and she was sent out as ship
OF war with an armament Of two -
ipounder guns and crew Of forty men.
In October, 1861, she ran the Federal
blockade out of Charleston and won
the distinction of flying the first Con-
federate flag in British waters. She
captured and burned a Yankee ship in
the entrance of the British channels and
was held under surveillance by the
United States warship Tuscarora for
4everal weeks,
In February, 1862, ibe Nashville was
again In American waters and by a
daring trick ran through the Federal
sbaockading fleet into Beaufort, N. G..
Running the fire of Burnside's block
aiding ships off Beaufort, she put in at
~Georgetown, S. c., where she was
turned over to private owners and I'M
der changed name had an exciting
career as a blockade runner, flying the
