UPTON IS VERY SICK
THE .BARoNET SUFFERING
 FROM APPENDICITIS.
The Necessity for a Surgical Opera ton, Say the Attending Physi-- oians, While Not obvlated,
 is Not Immedistes

Chicago. Sept 16-Physicians in at tendance on Sir Thomas Lipton declared tonight just before leaving their patient that his condition was satisfactory and he was not thought to be in any immedi- ate danger The following bulletin was issued just before the doctors left the hotel:
 '"The patient continues in the same sat isfactory condition.
 Homer M Thomas, M. D.
 George w Webster, M. D.,
 Nicholas Senn, M. D.
 A consultation was held by the doctors just prior to the issuing of the bulletin, and they gave the friends of Sir Thomas Lipton to understand that the necessity of an operation while not obviated, was not immediate.
 When the physicians were leaving, pr. Senn, remarked to pr. Thomas: We shall be lucky to pull him through this without an operation" Dr. Thomas made no reply, but his manner indicated that he did not dispute the opinion expressed by Dr. Senn.
 Sir Thimos Lipton is suffering much pain today from the sickness which at tackled him his arrival in Chicago and another conference of Drs. Homer Thomas. Nicholas Senn and George w. Webster was called.
 After an hours conference late last
 
 his indisposition, which was at first pro- nounced acute indigestion, had developed unmstakable signs of inflammation ol the stomach and bowels.
 Today Sir Thomas's condition Is regard ed as serious. and 1t is said that in such cases an operation Is sometimes neces- sary
 The physicians hope to avoid the use of instruments in this instance.
 Tn hiS the Auditorium Annex Sir Thomas spent restless night despite the administering of opiates to give him sleep It is the comment of those close to him that under no circumstances can Sir Thomas be restored to health so as to be out of bed for several days. and 1t IS believed that he will have to defer the date of his departure for Europe. Sir Thomas complained of pain in his stomach yesterday morning when he ar rived in Chicago to be the guest of Alex ander H. Revell, and incidentally to look after his business here.
 A few hours later he was compelled to take to his bed in his apartments at the Auditorium Annex. Last night the physicians held \con- suItation and 1t was decided that the pa tient must remain indoors for few days at least , The few social engagements which had been prepared for him were cancelled. This morning word came from the sick room that the patient was suffering acute pain and another consultation of the phy- sicians was called thorough examina- ton was made and the case diagnoses as given in the statement prepared for the press.
 Sir Thomas is suffering from appendi- citis.

LINER IN SORE STRAITS.
The Princess Anne Has Hard Time
 WeatheringT Gale.

~OuthOAlhS 0dAe.
 Norfolk. Va. Sept 16.-The Old Domin- ion liner Pripcess Anne, Captain Tapley. from New York to Norfolk with a pas senger list of 100 steamed slowly Into har- bor tonight, with her cargo badly listed ten hours behind a run that should have consumed nineteen hours. The Princess Anne left New York without the slight est intimation of the fierce wind blowing up the coast to meet her.
 When the steamer left for the south the storm warnings had been hauled down and the indications were that the hurri- cane had broken. Consequently, when, at 1 o'clock this morning off Fenwick Island, the full strength of the gale struck the ship, the captain and crew were taken completely unawares. The shock of the first sea awakened all the passengers who rushed half clothed, weeping, praying and screaming from their state rooms in an effort to reach the deck and boats
 Every door and window was closely fas- tened. the matches battened and orders is- sued that no soul save the crew. be al- lowed upon the decks, already waist deep in seething mass of water.
 For hours the wind continued without abatement and through the night the bat tie against the storm was fought with varying chances of success. Finally dawn broke, the wind lost some of it's force and the ship began to make headway.
 According to the report of the passen- gers the force of stokers refused to work. Captain Tapley drew a revolver and point ing 1t at the crowd, ordered them back to work. They obeyed. At the time of mu- tiny the ship was in only sixteen fathoms of water and drifting nearer shore. The report of the mutiny cannot be confirmed from the ships officers. Sixteen passen- gers. it is said, were more or less seri- ously injured.
 The steamer Guyandotte of the Old Do- minion line which left New York three hours after the Princess Anne. had not been reported from Cape Henry at mid night.

DOCTOR LEARNED
The Power of Pure Food.

Sometimes a physician who has exhausted
has to look 10 pure food to cure him by its
simple and homely yet natural and scientific
principles.
A well-known physician and surgeon of
Crowley. La, has spent great many years
In this profession. The services of my
lifetime" he says, have been to try to
better mankind: to help them preserve
health when in possession Of it and to help
them to regain it when lost So 1t is with
great pleasure I recall my first intr reduction
to Grape-Nuts. l had never investigated
the food until ! came to use it in my own
case. ] had suffered all that a man can suf-
fer from dyspepsia, had tried to heal myself
and had had the services of many other
prominent physicians. Then / clutched at
Grape-Nuts as a drowning man clutches at
straw. and to my great establishment
and qualification found that had discov-
cred something besides broken reed to lean
upon; for the food began to recuperate me
Immediately and it has now entirely cured
me to such an extent nat have returned
to my old habit of eating everything that
desire and can do without distress.
And have not only found good friend
in sickness, but a most delicious dish as
well. 1t is the most nutritious article of diet
have ever found. and notice its splendid
effects more particularly at night time for
a saucer of Grape-Nuts and milk Is always
followed by a most refreshing sleep and
perfect awakening. My only regret Is that
was so slow to look into the scientific
merits of this wonderful food" Name fur
