JAPAN AND RUSSIA
ON VERGE OF WAR

London. Oct. 12-The correspondent of
the Morning Post at Chez Foo, tele-
graphing under date Of October 10th,
says:
1T is stated that the Japanese have
decided to declare hostilities to-mor-
row on the expiration of their ultima
tum to Russia. The Russian fleet has
cleared from Port Arthur. 1t is re-
ported that the Japanese announce the
Landing of troops al Masanpho, Korea.
"There are strong indications that
Germany favors hostilities on the
ground that it would enable her to ex-
tend her sphere of influence in China.
"A number of field guns were en-
barked at Port Arthur yesterday for
an unknown destination. All the avail
able force of workmen is employed on
the fortifcations.
THE cholera and the plague have
broken out among the Russians at New
Chwang."
Another dispatch to the Morning
POSt from Cnee fCo, uateu oceopei II,
$50 p. M, says:
'The situation is unchanged. All is
quiet at Port Arthur. Hostilities are
still believed to be imminent. 1t is as
serted that the Russians have fixed
Friday next for their commencement.
There is an exodus of Chinese mer-
chants from the Yalu valley. They are
arriving at Chez Foo
The correspondent of the Mail at
PShanghai telegraphs.:
Careful inquiries show that the only
Jananese troops at Masanpho are on
the small territory conceded to Japan
in connection with railway building
and their presence is therefore in ac-
cordapce with treaty rights"

ORIGIN.
OF a Famous Human Food.

The s.ory of great discoveries or in
yentions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack Of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that woui!
carry him along and renew his physl-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that a food that was a
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
mere fat maker), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit of eating Grape-Nuts daily is
easily seen in a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making it a pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food Is
in no sense stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste of brain and nerves.
Its flavor is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature Of the brain worker
spoken of, c. w. Post, is to be seen
on each genuine package Of Grape
Nuts.
Look In each package for a copy Of
the famous little book, The Road to
Wellville."

Believe in Signs.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune at Crisfield, Maryland, writes:
Strange customs and beliefs. which are
relics of barbarism, linger among the
people, white and colored, along the
eastern shores of this state Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
Only one night last week an old negro
named Finney was called to his door
and riddled with buckshot by men
who believed that he was a sorcerer,
and had cast ''spell'' on a negress.
named Mary Holley, which had caused
her death. Finney was well known as
a conjuror and worker of strange
things, and there were hundreds both
white and colored. who visited him
when they were sick or in trouble. or
had lost valuables and wished to find
them.
While all the people of this region
are full of superstition, some of the
people of New Hampshire wear a
stocking in the toe of which a potato
has been tied. TO ward off sore throat:
Maine people assert that a nutmeg,
pierced and hung on string around
the neck. will prevent sore throat; a
double cedar knot is carried in the
pocket to prevent rheumatism by Mich
igan residents: stems from the golden
rod are used for the same purpose in
Massachusetts: horse chestnuls bring
good luck in New Jersey; Irish pota-

cure for rheumatism in New York:

cities, the thriving industries and the
well titled plains of the territories will
be visited.
The statesmen will leave Chicago to-
morrow in a special Pullman train OF
five cars. over the Santa Fe route. A
number of congressman from southern
states will be taken on at Kansas City.

Norfolk. Va, Oct. 1.-THE northeast
gale that has ragged over this region
since Thursday, has tonight practi-
caily spent its power. but for miles and
miles along the Virginia coast, the
beach is Uttered with wreckage, and
throughout this entire section of the
country devastation lies in the wake OF
the storm.
A tour of the coast to-day by the
Associated Press correspondent re-
vealed scenes of havoc.
AT Ocean View the immence pleas
ure pier is total wreck. and the dam
age to the club houses cottages and
extensive bulkheads will run far into
the thousands.
At Cape Henry. the bay and ocean
beach is covered with wreckage from
small craft, and the Mammoth double
eecked pavilion is badly damaged.
The loss at Virginia Beach exceeds
that of any other place hereabouts.
The wide board walk, extending for
two miles along the ocean front, is
practically demolished, and the por-
tions left standing will have to be re-
built
For miles to the south the beach is
strewn with the giant timbers of un-
fortunate barges, twisted and smashed
into kindling wood.

The court martial was called yester-
day by Governor Peabody, after he had
conferred with several of the officers
of the guard, and after an extended
midnight interview with General Bell,
who came down from the Cripple Creek

meeting was entirely secret one, and
was held about midnight at the exec

mediatcly.
General Chase when informed that
the court-martial had been called, said
he had not been served with an official
copy of the order and declined to dis

The charges against Colonies Gross
and Kimball are based on violation OF
the sixty-seo ond of the articles OF war
in drawing loaded weapon on Major
| Williams. The charges against Gener-
/ al Chase are based ON the same arti-
Gle of war, and allege that General
Chase. in asking Colonel Gross for the
pay rolls, exceeded his authority.

RUINED IN FIGHTING TRUST.
Two Big Tobacco Companies Go Into
Bankruptcy.


Chicago, Nov. 11-Another large
leaf tobacco house, that of Crump
Bros, was forced into the bankruptcy
court during the day. The firm has
had a large trade in leaf tobacco for
ten years and it's failure, like that of
Suffer Bros, caused surprise among
business men.
The concerns Of Suffer Bros. and
Crump Bros. were intimately con-
nected in business dealings.
The liabilities of the firm are esti-
mated at $225,000 and the assets at
$15O,O0O, though the latter are said to
be worth nominally more than the
debts
Suffer Bros, leaf tobacco mer-
chants, with establishments at Ha-
vana, New York, st. Louis and Chi
cago, have gone into voluntary bank
ruptcy.
The liabilities are placed at $780,
600, with assets exceeding that figure
by $1000,00O.
Edward Suffer, one of the broth
ers that compose the firm, admitted
that the fight against the American
Tobacco company had crippled the re-

A Children'S EVANGELIST.

Evangelist T. S. Thompson is holding
meetings at the NJ. E. church twice a
day, afternoon and evening. The af-
ternoon meetings are especially for
the little children and Mr.. THOMPSON
has certainly some very original meth
DDS which he uses in his work. He
adopts the kindergarten ideas in Sc
curing the children's attendance and
attention. At one service he had all
the little girls bring their dolls and he
used doll to Illustrate his talk to
the children. On Monday evening of
this week Mr.. Norman Mattice of Min
neapolis arrived and has assisted in
the singing this week. He will remain
until the meetings close. Mr.. Thomp-
son will remain over Sunday and close
his meetings with a lecture Monday
night on "The Bible, How We Get It

TO RESUME At ONCE
AMAIGAMATED PROPERTIES IN
MONTANA WILL AGAIN RUN
AT FULL CAPACITY,
MOVE BY GOVERNOR TOOLE
CALLS EXTRA SESSION OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO RELIEVE
THE SITUATION.

Helena, Mont, Nov. 11-Governor
Toole has called a special session of
the legislature to meet on Dec 1 at
Helena to pass laws to relieve the in
dustrial condition in Montana caused
by the shutting down of Amalgamated
company's properties, whereby $4,000
persons were directly thrown out Of
work and $4,000 more affected
The aim of the session is to pass a
law whereby mining cases may be
taken from one court to another when
the judge in the initial court is shown
to be prejudiced.
Other legislation of like character
has also been promised. A so-called
fair trial bill of the character now
lature, but was decided by the SUI
preme court to be unconstitutional on
technical grounds. Recently at Butte
Judge William Clancy Of the district
court, gave a decision in which he said
that he might appoint a receiver at
any time for the Boston and Amalga-
mated company, one of the largest
constituent companies of the Amalga-
mated. The decision was made on
the application of John McGinnis, a
prominent holder of stock in the prop
critics controlled by F. Augustus
Heinze Of the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing company, which has been at
War With the Amalgamated
for years. Upon this announcement
by Judge Clancy, President William
Scallon of the Anaconda Copper Min
Ing company and general manager of
the Amalgamated issued orders to
shut down all the Amalgamated prop
critics in Montana and elsewhere de-
claring that the company was unable
to secure judicial fairness in the
courts and could not continue in bust
ness. Since that time Governor Toole
has been overwhelmed with petitions
signed by thousands of citizens Of
Montana asking him to call a special
session to pass laws to relieve the
conditions.
The works of the Amalgamated COM
pany will at once resume in various
parts Of the state. This includes the
greater mines in Butte, the smelters
OF the Washoe company in Anaconda,
the largest in the world; the smelters
OF the Boston and Montana company
In Great Falls. also vast in their ca
paclty; the coal mines at Storrs, Belt
Oakdale and in Wyoming; the great
quarry in Northern Montana and the
immense lumber Industries in West
ern and Northwestern Montana.
Probably more than $4,000 men will
be employed directly in the properties
OF the Amalgamated and that many
more will be indirectly given employ
ment in the way of furnishing SUD-
plies and the like.

HUNTER PROBABLY ELECTED
Special Congressional Election Takes
Place in Kentucky.

Louisville, Nov. 11-Incomplete re-
turns from twelve of the nineteen
counties composing the Eleventh con-
gressional district, where special
election was held during the day to
elect a successor to the late Vincent
Boreing, show a plurality for DR..
Godfrey W. Hunter of a little over
1000. This is subject to change, how
ever, as only about one-half of the
precincts in the district have been
heard from. D. G. Edwards, who, like
DR.. Hunter, is a Republican, claims
that Hunter is defeated and that CON-
plete returns will show an Edwards
majority of 1900. John D. White, the
Prohibition candidate, seems to have
carried two and possibly three coun-
ties by small majorities, but his show
ing is due to the fight between Hun
ter and Edwards for the Republican
nomination, which resulted in seven
injunctions and counter injunctions
and finally ended by Hunters name
being left off the ballot in some coun-
ties and the omission of that of Ed
wards in others. The contest is GER
tain to end on the floor of the house.

STRONG PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY
Member of Canadian Parliament Talks
at Chicago.

at Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. ia strong plea for
the adoption Of reciprocal free trade
in the natural products between the
United States and Canada was made
by John Charlton, member of the
Canadian parliament for North Nor
folk, Ont, in a speech at a banquet
given by the Illinois Manufacturers
association. Mr.. Charlton declared
that the present state of trade rela-
tions between the two countries was
absurd and that the continuance of
present Canadian tariff conditions
could only be retained by important
tariff concessions on the part of the
United States.
After listening to Mr.. Charlton's
address the association declared unan-
imously for reciprocity with Canada
and passed resolutions asking the
government to bring this about.
Among other speakers was A. c.
Bird, traffic director of the Gould sys-
tenn, who sopke on Railroad Regtla-
tiOn.''

The stringency on the immigration
regulations are due to the concern
