TROUBLES IN CABINET
COmpIicate Japan's Position on the
Manchurian Question.


Toxic July II, via Victoria, B. c.,
July 24.-The difficulty of the diplo-
matte situation with regard to the
Manchurian question is now being
complicated by serious difficulties in
the cabinet. The premier, Count Kali
zura, has asked to be relieved of his
position, but the Emperor has declined
10 entertain the proposition and sug
gested that the premier take vaca-
ton. The latter, accordingly, retired
TO his villa at HaYama.
The cabinet crisis has had some eff
feet in increasing the diplomatic diff
culties. The Emperor sent for Mar
qus Ito and received him in private
audience. Nothing is known of what
me imperial commands were. The
highest opinion states the crisis may
reach a momentous stage in the his
Tory of Japan's constitutional govern
ment
1t is said that the Emperor is de-
Slrous of increasing the dignity of Mar
quis Ito by drawing him closer to his
side and entirely away from party
management. The Emperor's proposal
mas been matured by the growing diff
eulHes Of the Manchurian and Korean
questions, and the desire of the Kat
Sura cabinet to resign.

Dublin, Ga, July 24.-Mr. Frank w.
Powell a popular and highly respect
ed citizen of Dublin, died at his home
in this city last night after long ILL
ness from consumption. Up to few
months ago Mr.. Powell was cashier of
the Laurens Banking Company, but

same time he resigned his position on
the City Board for Education for the
same reason. Mr.. Powell was a native
of North Carolina, but had lived in this
county, except at two or three inter-
walls of two or three years each, for
the past fifteen years About two
years ago he moved back to Dublin
from North Carolina and announced
that he would end his days here, but
his health then was not precarious and
the prospects were that he would live
to ripe old age. Mr.. Powell leaves a

FIRED ON C0NVICTS.
Two of Them Fatally Wounded by
Guards at the Mines.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July PA re-
volt of the convicts in the mines of the
Georgia Iron and Coal Company at
Cole City, Ga, occurred this evening
at the time for changing the day and
night shifts. So far only two con-
victs have been shot and they are
probably fatally wounded, but 1875
other convicts of the day shift have
barricaded themselves in the mines,
and refuse to come out and are defy
ing the officers, threatening death to
any one who approaches.
The trouble arose over the punish
ment of a convict for an infraction of
the rules. The day men refused to
come out of the mine when the hour
arrived to change shifts.
Those in the front ranks hurled mis-
siles at the guards and the latter fired,
wounding two of them fatally. The
rest of the convicts then fled further
into the mine and defied the guards to
follow them. 1t is said that to subdue
them the guards will have to starve
them out.

WITHOUT PARALLEL
23 Physicians Bamed for Years by
a Case That a Change in Food
Cured in Weeks.

CureU IN Weekss
There is almost mira culous power in
a change of food if the right food be
taken on.
A case said to be without parallel
is that of a paralyzed and dumb child
whom % different doctors were puz
zled over yet who recovered his speech
in two weeks and finally got entirely
well by using the scientific food Grape
Nuts. This child's mother was asked to
tell about the case and said: six years
ago without a moments warning my
boy went off into convulsions. He had
three the first day and for nearly s
years he had from three to go SpasmS
a day, all of very short duration, but
very severe. He lost his speech en-
tirely and lost the use of his legs and
arms, also of his nerve centres, being
paralyzed, that he was perfectly
helpless and dumb. I fed him with
teaspoon and we had him treated by
physicians in many of the large cities
throughout the country without being
able to get any help at all.
"In all % different physicians exam
ined and treated my boy and all pro-
nounced his case without parallel in
medical history so far as they knew
and beyond the reach of medical sci
ence. Ills bowels never moved without
physic, going as long as three weeks
His lower bowels could not handle
food the least bit starchy.
HE did not seem to have disease of
any kind and as the physicians were
al baffied l did not know what to do,
and we gave up hope. The doctor said
his nerves and brain was effected and
moor circulation and cerebrospinal ir-
ritation caused his convulsions. He had
as high as 200 commissions in two weeks
as many doctors can testify.
"Now comes the wonderful part of
the tale for he had not taken Grape
Nuts one week when his bowels moved
and inside of two weeks he began to
talk. only being able to say words Of
one SYLLABLE at first. In 6 weeks he has
improved beyond comprehension and
his case. which has astounded so many
nhysicians, has completely yielded to
the pure food Grape-Nuts. We lost
nearly everything experimenting with
different physicians and specialists but
