The old octagonal $50 pieces were quite
common In California in early days,
when gold dust was largely used az a cir

pure gold, and while they had not the

VAN Colts CHARGE
New York's Postal Affairs
Will Be Overhauled.
TO OCCUPY At LEAST A MONTH.
Much Interest In investigation Is
Taken by the President. Who Has
Gone Into the Subject With
Postmaster General Payne.

Postmaster General Payne.
WASHINGTON. Oct. IA special
| investigation OF the New York city post
office will begin in n few days by in
snectors working under the direction Of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Brlstow. This will be n thorough over-
hauling of all the affairs Of that Office,
every department. of which will be
thoroughly investigated, The inquiry
Il supplemental TO the general postal
inquiry recently concluded and is likely
to occupy at least a month and proba-
bly, longer.
1t IS stated that no charges are on file
regarding the New York Office, but the
facts established by the inspectors
when the lines of the general %investiga-
ton led 10 that Office long ago persuad-
cd the investigating authorities IT was
desirable there should be a general and
detailed probing Of the affairs of Post
master Van Colts Office.
There have been many reports OF lax
ity OF administration and extravaganza,
and all these VIII be looked into, but
the work OF the inspectors will not be
limited I'm any way 10 allegations al
ready made, orders being in substance
TO investigate everything In connection
with the office. There win be at least
three and probably more inspectors do
tailed for this duty at New York. Mr..
Brlstow personally will select a number
of the best men on the staff of inspect
ors for the work. The president has
taken an interest in the Now York post
office situation and, II Is understood,
has talked over the matter with Post
master General Payne. The subject
may he brought up at the cabinet meet
Ing today.
Postmaster General Payne said that
the investigation of the New York Of
flee has been contemplated FOR Il long
time, and the only reason 1t has not
taken place before now was the lnnb!l-
ity TO spare inspectors. He suggested
that other large offices likewise will be
investigated. Mr.. BristOw declined to
discuss the matter In any way.

THE HUSTLERS.
An Incident Sho,yinS Hcw Quick 9n
the Trigger Sorc Folks ARC
Selling Opportunities.

There are many people in very med
est business lines who are as alert 10
seize opportunities much to be ad-
mired in their way-as are the Digger
men of keen discernmcnt and ViSor-
Gus enterprise hustling in wider fleldS;
and these lesser men may be
picturesque. For instance:
On one OF tho yacht race days, says
the New York Sun, there canlo on, In
the middle of the afternoon, a hurrl-
cane, with darkness and tremendous
rain just at the time when the oXcur~
sion boats were on the way home from
the lower bay. Here, now, as II
, CHANGED to come under the eye CT n
observer, was one of these boats with
her green and red side lights lit, n
in fact, all her lights bTrning, in this
midday darkness as at night, tying uD
"a curious and Interesting spectacle
at n South street wharf.
Along South street. deserted at the
moment by all who could find shelter
from the pouring rain, came running,
rs this boat neared its wharf, an um-
brella vender with a bundle Of umbrcl-
las under his arm; n OF the men OF
whom so mlDX are 10 be ceon on rainy
days in the ctty's streets.
There was q gold mine for this men
in that steamboat With her side lights
lit and all her lamps burning on this
tremendously dark and rainy after
noon, If he could hit the wharf before
her passengers got away; and he got
there all right, just as the boat was
making those few, last, slow turns and
half turns of her wheels. before they
had finally got her made fast.
When the passengers from this boat
had come TO the street end OF the COW
cred wharf at which the boat had
landed. and had halted. as they did. in
a solid mass. stretching across just
within the entrance way to wait until
the rain lei mp a little, the only living
thing they saw in the pouring rain
outside was that umbrella vender,
standing in the street waiting for
them. with n big bundle of umbrellas
under his arm and one fair sample of
his warc3 raised over his head.
Did he find p ready sale for his UNI
brollas. this umbrella man? Well. well.
we'll! II was only a question Of how
fast the umbrella man could make
change. He s9ld them to the last one
he didn't even keep n for his own
protection as ne turned away.
There. too. at that particular spot
md time, whore the demand for their
wares was likely to be tho greatest,
were the ncwsboys; selling papers with
accounts of Tho races which the peo-
pie now coming of the boat had
soon and ~ great interest to them, for
that reason; for peoplc like TO read Of
anything they have themselves wit

}The fight over the election Of an
alderman in the Sixth Ward, is very
WARN. Personalities arc freely in
Yulgod in and all kinds Of untruths
kare brought ont in order to advance
the cause Of one man over that OF his
~kpDponent. Perhaps tho worst of these
arguments is the one now being used
by the Democrats against Mr.. Shultz
in which they declare the Republican
candidate cannot read or write and is
therefore not capable of being an
alderman. Such n remark is entirely
unfounded. AS a matter of fact, Mr..

than a great many of his critics. He
can hold his own against any man in
this regard. =

Poeatello Woman Causes Arrest of
Two Commercial Street Denizens.
AIadge Daniels and May Alberts were
arrested yesterday afternoon, charged
with abducting a female for immoral
purposes. The women claim that the
girl, whose name is Bessie Johnson,
came to their house on Commercial
street without any invitation from
them and represented herself as be
ing alone in the city without any place
10 stay. Consequently they let her
remain at their house until such time
as they thought that she could find
employment or go elsewhere.
The girl claims to be II years old,
but looks older. She says she came to
this city from POcatellO about a month
ago. She has not been working any
where.
The complaint was sworn out by
her mother, who is at present in Salt
Lake. Another complaint was sworn
out by the mother against the daugh-
ter, charging her with incOrrigibihty,
because, as she says. she has not been
able to do anything with the girl for
some time past. Both cases We're heard
by Judge Diehl yesterday and the de-
PENDANTS were bound over until Oct

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

VI a Famous Human Food.
The story of great discoveries or in
ventiOns is always Of interest
An active brain worker who found
himself hamDered by lack of bodily
strength and vigOr and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises ne knew
how 20 conduct was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words before
he could carry out his plans he had to
find a food that would curry him along
and renew his physical and mental
strength
he knew that a food that was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than a
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 cen
tiers is made from aIbumen and phos-
phate Of potash obtained from food.
Then ne 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-n1arked sturdiness and
activity Of the brain and nervous sys-
TEN, making it a pleasure for one TO
carry on the daily duties without IA
tigue or exhaustion. The food is in no
sense a 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
IL is served instantly with cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken Of, G. w. Post. is 20 be seen on
each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.
Look in each package for a eony OF
the famous little book THE Road to
Wellville."
