WILL WEIGH THE MAIL.

The government has begun the re- weighing of all the mail carried by the railroads of the country this month. The work done by
 employees, who are select d upon reccommendation of congress- men of the districts in which they work. The weighing is done every year, and it is expected that this year will show that there has been an enormous increase in the amount of mail handled. It will take 30 days of consecutive work to get an approximation of the amount of mail carried.
 The magnitude of the work is shown by the fact that the government is paying something like $4,OOO,OO0 an nually for the main routes to say nothing of the mail matter carried upon smaller roads.
 The mails will be weighed by the government before being placed aboard the train, and then be re- weighed by the railway company. Upon the tabulation furnished by their representatives, the railroad companies will base their calculations in submitting bids for contracts.

ASSENGER WRECKED
 NEAR OLYPHANT.

North bound passenger No. 9, due in Newport at 4:O5 a. m. M onday was wrecked just this side of Olyphant, while running about two hours late. Seven cars left the track, also the en- zine and tender, leaving upon the rails only the rear coach.
 No one was seriously injured though the baggageman had one hand slight ly burned, having been thrown against the stove.
 The wreck was caused by a swing in the track, one coach having left the rails when passing the station and this caused the other cars to leave the track, as the train was running at a high rate of speed. One baggage coach came very nearly tumbling down the dump and the track, for quite a distance was so badly torn up that the wreck was not cleared until after two o'clock in the afternoon
 No il ran down to Olyphant, return ing with many of No. 2's passengers, who breakfasted in Newport at a rather late hour. Nos. Il and 3 laid over in Newport until the track was cleared in the afternoon.

BENNETT WILL CASE.
Another Hearing Saturday Before
 Judge CleaYeland.

Another Hearing Saturday Before
 Judge Cleayeland.
 The letter of instructions which Philo s. Bennett left and by which he pro posed that William J. Bryan should profit to the amount of $50,000 again came into prominence through mo- tion which counsel for Mir. Bryan made to Judge Cleaveland in the probate court Saturday.
 This letter may be described as the letter that is and is not; that was in sealed envelope and which was not, and which was found with the will and which was not. The fact that there were two of these letters identicahy alike, but prepared at different times has largely been responsible for the present intricacies of the Bennett es- tate.
 It will be remembered that the tes- timony showed that MT. Bennett and MT. Bryan fixed up a letter to Mrs. Bennett and providing for the gift or $50, 900 to MT. Bryan out in Llncoln, Nebraska, after the will was drafted, and which was subsequently brought to New York by Mir. Bennett for execu- ton. After the will was executed MT. Bennett made a copy of the letter or instructions which had been drarted originally at Lincoln. The copy he put in the safe deposit vault with the Will. The original paper was found subse- quently with MT. Bennett's partnership papers and in the vault where the Ben nett & Sloan company kept it's business documents. .-
 When the case was heard before Judge Cleaveland ex-Judge Henry Stoddard, for Mrs. Bennett, read the original letter of instructions, but kept it in his possession, stating that, inas- much as MT. Bryan was going abroad, he thought the paper should not be al- lowed beyond the Jurisdiction of the probate court As there was no objec- ton raised at the time Judge Stoddard has since retained possession of 1t. -
 On Saturday Lawyer Harrison HeW- it filed written motion asking Judge CIeaveland to issue an order impound- ing the letter into the possession of the court. Ex-Judge Steddard did not ap- pear to oppose the motion and the order was passed. ......... .-.-...... l... 2 Messrs. Newton and Hewitt desire the document to be in the possession of the court when the papers go to the superi- or court. ag
 It is understood that Mrs. Bennett has no objection to allowing the paper to remain in the custody of the court, but simply desired that if it were go- ing out of her counsel's possession a formal order from the court should be passed. H.e 4.

ON FOOD.
The Right Foundation of Health,

Proper food is the foundation of health. People can eat improper food for a time and not feel any i'll results until there is a sudden collapse of the digestive organs and then all kinds of trouble follows.
 The proper way out of the difficulty Is to shift to the pure scientific food, Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the foundation up. A New Hampshire wo- man says: Last summer I was sud- denly taken with indigestion and se- were stomach trouble and could not eat food without great pain; my stomach was so sore could hardly move about This kept up until I was so miserable life was not worth living.
 Then a friend finally after much argument, induced me to try Grape Nuts food and quit my regular food. Although I had but little faith I con- menced to use it and great was my surprise to find that I could eat it with out the usual pain and distress in my stomach So I kept on using Grape Nuts, and soon a marked improvement was shown, for my stomach was per- forming it's regular work in a normal way without pain or distress.
 s'Very soon the yellow coating disap- pc ared from my tongue, the dull heavy feeling in my head disappeared and my mind felt light and clear; the languid tired feeling left, and altogether I felt as if I had been rebuilt. Strength and weight came back rapidly and went back to my work with renewed ambi- tion. To-day I am new woman in mind as well as body and owe it all to this natural food Grape-Nuts." !"

 It is at this point that every man has chance to preach and help righteous ness, and the editor, business man, scholar, public official, teacher who loves and teaches and lives righteously stands in a higher and more influential pulpit than mine or that of any other minister in the world. for no one can charge him with getting his living by the advocacy of certain principles-his position is recognized as being disinter- ested, matter of conscience.

TERRIBLE FALL
Miraculous Escape Of Clarence
kilfc and H.. H. GuiliOn,
Who Fall From
Elevator


A serious accident happened
to two of the carpenters en-
ployed at the mill elevator
building last Saturday evening,
just as the men were quitting
work. Clarence Kiffe and E. B.
Gullion, had been employed in
placing the siding on the build
ing, and were on the staging
some thirty eight feet from the
ground. The planks Of the stag
ing were laid upon the 2x6s
projecting from the building,
with scantling support. Mr..
Kitfe, in descending swung him.
self to the staging five feet
below, which for some reason
failed to support him and broke
as his weight came upon 1t. He
g"asped the supports above tC
save himself from falling, but
this with the other man upon
them was too much for these
supports, and they gave way
percipitating both men to the
ground. In falling Mr.. Kifft
struck the lower course of stag
ing and be fell from there strik
ing upon his head When picked
up both men were unconscious
and the probabilities seemed
to be that they were fatally hurt
Doctors Ferguson and Kriese
were summoned to attend the
injured men. Upon examination
Mr.. Gullion was found to have
two of his ribs broken, while
Kiffe escaped without any
broken bones, but his head was
badly cut and bruised. The
men were taken to the Unict
hotel and made as comfortable
as possible, and the second day
following they were able to be
up and eat dinner, but as might
be supposed, they are still pretty
stiff and sore from their terrible
fall.
The cause Of the breaking O
