Hot Springs. S. D., Dec. 1.-THE city
treasurer OF Hot Springs was served
with injunction .writs restraining him
from selling town lots for the non-pay-
ment of assessments for local improve
ments for grading various streets ten
years ago. The city issued for the pay
ment OF h work. special %granding
warrants, of which there are outstand-
ing about 1920. together with interest
at Z per cent The injunction suits
were brought by nine property owners,
residents Of the town, who had petit
toned for the work to be done. These
property owners represent about one
half Of the lots subject to the assess
ment. Perhaps th~ree-fourths of the
nonresident overs of the lots subject
to the tax have paid up. The city will
make an effort to dissolve the injunc-
tions. but If this be done, the next sale
under the law cannot take place until
The first Monday in March, 1904.

MEMORY MsNDiNG.

What Food Alone Can DO for the
Memory.
The influence of food upon the brain
and memory Is SO little understood that
people are inclined to marvel at 1t.
Take a person who has been living
on improperly selected food and put
him upon a scientific diet In which the
food Grnpe-Nuts is largely used and
the increase Of the mental power that
follows is truly remarkable.
a Canadian who was sent to Color
ado for his health illustrates this point
In a most convincing Zone
year ago I came from Canada a ner-
vous wreck, so my physician said, and
reduced in weight to almost a skele-
ion, and my memory was so poor that
conversations had to be repeated that
had taken place only a few hours be-
fore. l was unable to rest day or
night, fer my ervou system was shat.
tered.
''The change of climate helped me a
little, but 1t was o o seen that this
was not all that I needed. l required
the proper selection of food, although
| did not realize It until a friend rec.
commended Grape-Nuts to me and I,
gave this food n thorough trial. Then
| realized what the right food could
do and I began to change In my feel
ings and bodily condition. This Kept
up until now after 0 months use OF
Grape-Nuts all my nervous trouble has
entirely disappeared, l have gained IN
tiesh all that I had lost. and what is
more wonderful to me than anything
else my memory Is as good as it ever
was. Truly Grape-Nuts has remade
me all over. mind and body, when i

Early in the morning of December:
Is the Atlanta sighted a small schoon-,
err in the center of the Gulf of Darien,
and followed her to the western shore,
where the schooner attempted to get
behind an inlet. Lieutenant Perrill of
the Atlanta was ordered to board her.
and thereupon a w%haleboat was low.

A correspondent of the Associated,

found the schooner had on board 100
armed Colombians, commanded by
General Rafael Novo, who said Cen
eral Daniel Ortiz was commander in;
chief. The Colombian forces had a!
large camp a mile away on the MAIN
land. NOvo requested Perrill to land.
and confer with Ortiz.
Great excitement prevailed among
the Colombians IN the whaleboat's APP
proach, n there were repeated cries
OF viva Colombia" and a sudden con-
centration of $50 Colombian soldiers on
the beach. For some moments the sit,
uatiOn appeared dangerous and had the
appearance of an ambuscade. Ortiz
appeared on h beach when Perrilll
went ashore, the w~haleboat meantime
lying close to the beach,.
Ortiz insisted that Perrill should fly.
the Colombian flag at the bow of the
whaleboat, or lower the American flag
at her stern. because she was in Co.
lombian waters. Perrill replied that he
didn't have a Colombian flag and re-
fused to lower the stars and stripes.
Ortiz didn't insist. but protested in
writing against the presence of Amer.
leans in Colombian waters. Perrill ac-
cepted the protest and conveyed it to-
Commander Tucker. who handed it to
Rear Admiral Coghlan on his arrival
here.
