confederat. Monument at Fort Smith.

The Fort Smith Chapter, Daugh- ters of Confederacy, have abandoned the original idea of erecting mon- ument to the Confederate dead in the National cemetery at that point and will erect 1t in the courthouse yard. The war department recent ly decided that a monument to the Confederate dead could be erected in the National cemetery, where so many Southern soldiers are buried, but that the monument must be without the figure of Confederate soldier surmounting it, and must be without the reproduction of a Confederate flag, with the words, 'Lest We Forget" which are distin- gushing features of the design chosen by the Daughters of the Confederacy. Members of the G.. A. R. at Fort Smith offered no pro test against the erection of the mon- ument in the National cemetery.

DRINK LEADS TO MURDER
A Colorado Physician, Crazed by
Liquor, Shoot and Kills a
Pueblo Policeman.

Pueblo, Col, Oct. 8.-While crazed
from the influence Of liquor DR.. c. O..
Rice, a prominent physician, last night
shot and almost instantly killed Po-
liceman Martz, while the latter was
trying to arrest him in a drug store.
The tragedy occurred after the fren-
zied physician had driven every one
from the store by fourishing his re-
volver and threatening to kill anyone
who came within range. Uolice Off,
Ger Slater shortly afterward accident
ally shot himself thru the pelvis while
attempting to effect an entrance into
the store.
It was not until two hours later
that the doctor was captured. Mean
while he had succeeded in holding an
enormous crowd at bay in front of
the drug store. Finally Detective
Roubichaud and Assistant Fire Chief
Charles Campbell effected an entrance
at the rear thru the cellar and over
powered the doctor before he could
offer any resistance. 1t was found that
he had disabled his revolver and that
it had been useless for some time.

a REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot of
abuse but some time it will surely re-
bel and demand the. proper food in
place of the pasty, starchy, greasy
stuffs on which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to feed Grape Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady Of Washington says: Three
years ago I was very i'll with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. I lay in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind Of food and was
so weak and emaciated after four
months of this starvation that my
daughter could easily lift me from
bed and put me in my chair. But
weak as my stomach was, it accepted
and relished and digested Grape-Nuts
without any difficulty the first time
that wonderful food was tried.
my doctor told me that I would
have to eat Grape-Nuts, which were
pre-digested, and altho T felt certain
I could not keep the food on my stonl-
ach I had to make the trial and it was
a most complete success. I am now
strong and in better health than for
a great many years and am gradually
growing still stronger, rely on Grape
Nuts for most of the nourishment that
I get. The results have certainly been
wonderful in my case and prove that
no stomach is so weak 1t will not d.
gest Grape-Nuts.
my baby got so fat from feeding
on Grape-Nuts I was afraid I would
have to stop feeding them to him but
I guess it is healthy fat for his
health is just perfect" Name given

THEY MADE A GOOD HAUL
Philippine Constabulary Officers,
Now Fugitives From Justice,
Got More Than Supposed.

Manila, Oct. S.-George Herman
and c. T. Johnson the constabulary Of
ficers stationed at Misanis, Mindanao,
now fugitives from justice, not only
took $4,000 in cash from the safe
but also turned most of the supplies
into cash before their dramatic exit
on the vessel they appropriated.
They took the steamer Victoria of
thirty-fiv tons register and got suffi-
cient coal from the steamer Irene by
threatening the captain at the point of
revolvers, to carry them to Baliangao,
a town on the north shore of the
island. There they procured wood
and water before putting to sea again.
They should have reached Sandagau
to-day. A cable was sent to the gov
ernor of Borneo advising him of their
prospective arrival and he at once
dispatched the coast guard steamer
Ranger to look out for them.
Herman, who was recently pro-
noted to captaincy, was formerly
a noncomn1issioned officer in the
Ninth infantry. Johnston, lieutenant
was formerly a noncommissioned Of
fiecer in the Eleventh infantry.

ore earnings for the previous year
was followed by a decrease Of $48,-
.694 this year, Aafld the prospects for
the current yea1s are not bright. The
increase in general freight earnings
is very satisfactory and while it can
not be expected that the increases for
the past two years can be maintained,
1t is hoped that the results for the
current fiscal year will be fully equal
to those of last year. The crop pros
poets are fair. Agricultural products
show an increase of 161,307 tons.
THE increased cost of labor and
coal is responsible in a large part for
the increase in expenses. During the
year 1915 tons of new 85-pound steel
rails were laid, and 1875 tons We're
released. The improvement work
projected has been restricted by the
scarcity Of labor.
'The new dock at Ashland is much
larger than the old one, the increase
in storage capacity being about 10000

estimated cost of the new dock is
