Grape-Nuts is shown to be ones most

of Grape Nuts and cream will sustain
a healthy man for half day and
a less quantity in warm will build up
the convalescent wonderfully. No
stomach is too weak to digest and
relish GrapeNuts. Il was taken SICK
with typhoid fever and everyone who
has had this disease knows how weak
and likeness a person feels when be-

Il had to be very careful about my
diet and could eat only very light
foods. These did not seem to nour-
ish me and instead of getting better

TO WORK ON JEKYL
A Large Force of Hands
Soon to Commence
on Island.

Within a few weeks a large force
of hands will be put to work on
Jekyl island, repairing some of the
cottages, and making numerous other
repairs on the island.
During the summer months, as has
been printed in these columns before.
a handsome church is to be erect
ed by the members of the club before
the season opens next winter, and
work will also commence on the
structure within the course of a month
or two.
Some additional work is also to be
done on the club house. This large
and handsome building was added to
greatly last year, and it is now one OF
handsomest club houses in the coun-
try.
w. H. Goodyear who has been a
regular visitor to the island for the
past two or three years, and who has
been stopping at the club house, will
erect a cozy cottage in time for oc-
cupancy next year, and it is under
stood that one or two other members,
will have one erected during the sum
mer.
Other improvements are also to be
made on the island, and large force
of hands will soon be at work.

R|FLEMEN WILL
co TO AUGUSTA
@ss -%-
Company Decided at Meet
ing Last Night to Go
Into Camp.

The Brunswick Rifiemen held a
very interesting meeting in their ar
mory last night, and, among other
things, the coming encampment of
the First Georgia regiment, which is
to be held in Augusta the latter part
of this month, was discussed.
The company not only definitely de-
cided to go, but the members present
all seemed anxious to go into camp
for week and it is probable that
large company will go along.
The First Georgia regiment is COM
posed almost entirely of Savannah
companies, the Rifiemen and the Way
nesboro companies being the only
two outside of that city.
The Ritlemen all express themselves
greatly pleased with Augusta as a
camping place, and as many of the
members as possible will go. The
company will shortly begin drilling
two or three times a week, practicing
for the encampment.

Be Discussed

matters of deep concern to the peo-
pie OF this city will he taken up and
discussed
The News has it that the most i'm
portant subject that will receive at
tention will be the steel plant prop
Dsition. While the Mohawk people
have evidently given up the deal. it
is pretty well understood that other
large concerns in the country have
their eyes on Brunswick and are will
ing to come here if the situation can
be properly placed before them.
This meeting. under all of the cir
Cumstances connected with the re-
cent steel plant deal. is of the greatest
Importance, and it is to be hoped
that every member Of the board of
thade, without regard to his record
as to attendance in the past, Will make
it a point to be present today.
Among other things IA number of
propositions will be made looking to
several subjects Of unusual interest
Just at this time.

urge all Of the members of the board

|IEVEE BREAKS IN EAST ST. LOUIS:
THIRTY MORE VICTIMS CLAIMED
Over 5000 People we're on Levee When 1t
Gave Way---rlilitary Has Been Called
Out to Protect Property.

Numerous reports Of drowing have
been received, but the East st. Louis
police have learned no. names of the
victims
A thousand men were working on
the levee when 1t 12ke.
The break came at tbs SSst. Louis Val
ley crossing, on the Illinois Central
embankment, two miles south of the
relay depot.
An alarm was given by the ringing
of bells and blowing of whistles in ev-
, cry part of the city.
The awakened families saw the wa
ter in the streets When they were
ready to leave with their hurriedly
collected stock of necessities the flood
was at their doorsills. They fled to
the north.
The Washington school was the
nearest point of safety The water was
not expected to reach the level in the

Increase in Rates.

Lumbermen are Not Pleased With
Increase in Rates.
Now that the railroads have fixed
a date for adding 2 cents a hundred
weight to the price Of lumber freights
to the western markets, it is likely
that the big fight recently had in Ma
con before Judge, Speer between the
lumbermen and the railroads will
come on for a more thorough hear
ing and the merits of the case will
! be inquired into. Judge Speer de
cided in the former hearing that the
courts have jurisdiction to restrain
and unreasonable and unjust increase
of rates, but he said the interstate
commerce commission should be given
an opportunity to pass upon the pres
ent case.
Immediately after Judge Speer's
ruling the freight association gave
notice to the interstate commerce
commission that the rate would be
increased. 1t is now contended that
until the rate goes into effect on
the 22nd nc injunction can be applied
for.

st. Louis, June 10.-The river this
morning reached a stage of 37.9 feet,
the highest during the present flood.
East st. Louis, with a population of
$4,000, and large manufacturing in
terests, and a terminal point for the
railroads north, east and south, is
partly under water and probably will
be totally submerged.
The southern half of East st. Louis
is deeply flooded and $500 levee
builders have fallen back to Missouri
avenue in an attempt to save the re-
mainder of the city menaced by swell
ling waters of the sides.
Broadway, Central and the east and
west thoroughfares have been aban-
doned to the flood.
Mayor Harper says that the water
will be two feet deep in front of the
city hall before tomorrow.
Seven miles of water pressing from
the south and southeast overcame the
city's lie of defense this morning and
5000 were driven from their homes.
The Brunswick daily news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1903-1906, 1903-06-11

An appeal from the mayor to the
governor for state troops to aid in
guarding the property was answered
by the promise that militia will be
sent to East st. Louis at once.
Before daybreak Ned Roberts, a ne
gro employed as a levee builder, was
killed by the members of the levee
patrol for attempting to tear down a
portion of the dyke. He was angry
because he was not allowed to draw
pay at once.
At 9 o'clock the water was threaten
ing the north and east sides, pre-
served temporarily by the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad embankment, and
reached to the viaduct, only seven
blocks east of the city hall In this
public building foot and half of
sipe water was already collected.
A telephone message just received
by Congressman Rodenbaugh says
that 80 lives are already lost. The
break in the Baltimore and Ohio levee
is now reported menacing to city
from that point.

Referred -

Michigan City, Ind, June1O.-Un-
less Governor Durbin intervenes the
execution of Ora Copenhaver, who
has been under sentence of death for
nearly a year, will take place in the
state prison here today.
Copenhaver, who is scarcely more
than legal age, was resident OF
indianapolis and his crime was the
murder of his young wife, Septem-
ber last.
Shortly before their dining hour
called his wife to the door and without
a warning or giving her any inkling
of his intent, drew large revolver
from his pocket and fired four shots
at her, three of which took effect.
The woman died at the hospital with
out gaininf,; consciousness.
Copenhaver, after shooting his
wife, calmly walked to the neighbor-
police station bgkq mfwypfwypdlulu
hood store and telephoned to the
police station, informing the desk
sergeant that the murder had been
committed. He then waited the COM
ing of the police and surrendered
himself.
Jealously was ascribed as the mo-
tive for the deed. Copenhaver was
speedily tried and convicted OF muir
der in the first degree An appeal
to the supreme court afforded no re-
lief to the condemned man as that
tribunal upheld the verdict of the
lower court.

RAILROADS TO MAKE A FIeH
Comptroller General Wright Gives
CentraHs Officials a Shock


Atlanta, June 10-The fight is
squarely on between the state OF
Georgia and the railroads over the
franchise tax. A long conference has
been held between Comptroller Gen
eral Wright and the officials OF ihe
Central, which was fruitIes5 and
there will be no further effort TO get
|toEAtner.
The comptroller general during the
afternoon made an asses OF the
Central's franchise, and it will prob
ably be a bombshell in the camp. He
also assessed the Southern and tho
Coast Line. The railroad men arc ex-
pecting some pretty stiff esures anu
they will not be disappointed. Er&i-
tration proceedings will fol.owsZ
When Major F. H. Hanson, Prcsi-
dent John NJ. Eagan, 7. N Cunning
ham of the general counsel of the
Central, and r. l.. Pitchard, the Ian !
and industrial agent OF the company
called at the comptroller's general OF
flee during the morning they found
Mr.. Boykin Wright, with whom he
was comforting in reference to the
franchise OF the Augusta Street Rail
way company.
| They had to wait quite while
When they were finally admitted they
remained with the comptroller fol
two hours.
The railroad men took the position
that the valuation at which the Cen
tral had given in its tangible prop
erty included its franchise or tina
that the element of franchise entcre,
largely into it. The tangible propert.
is given in at Si2,653, TAG and the Cen
tral is thereby the largest taxpaye
in the state. The system consists .
1,074 miles and the franchise is re
turned at $500 per mile, or little owe
"a half million dollars. This, tn
comptroler thought, was far too
lsmall.
