z3 Physicians BaffIed for Years by
Case That a Change of Food
Cured in Weeks.

There is almost miraculous power in a
change of food if the right food be taken
on
A case said to be without parallel is
that of paralyzed and dumb child
whom 2s different doctors were puzzled
over, yet who recovered his speech IN
two weeks and finally got entirely wen
by using the scientific food Grape-Nuts.
This child's mother was asked to tell
about the case and said: six years age
without a moments warning my boy
went off into commissions. He had three
the FIRST day and for nearly six years he
had from three TO 60 spasms day. all OF
very short duration but very severe He
aost his speech entirely and lost the use
of his legs ana arms. also OF his nerve
centres, being paralyzed so that he was
perfectlv helpless and dumb. I fed him
with a 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 3 different physicians examined
and treated my boy and all pronounced
his case without parallel in medical his
tory so far as they knew and beyond the
reach or medical science. His bowels
never moved WITHOUT RiiN SANs sums tAS
long as three weeks His lower bowels
could not handle food the least bit
starchy
He did not seem TO have disease oi
any kand and as the physicians were all
bafled did not know what 10 do and We
gave up hope. The doctors said his
nerves and brain were affected and poor
circulation and cerebrospinal irritation
caused his convulsions. He had rs high
as 300 convulsions 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 sylls-
bic at first. IN six weeks he has I'M
proved beyond comprehension and his
case. which has astounded so many ply

STATE TAXINCREASE
State Equalization Board Did
Not Grant Reduction.
I'm COUNTY VALUATION
Total Increase of State Tax
VIII Be $4,000.

County Clerk John Chain received word
yesterday that the Is per cent reduction
on the valuation of the property Of this
county asked for by the county commits
sioners was not granted by the state
board Of equaliza ton at their meeting in
Topeka last week. He went before the
board ten days ago with figures and sta
tistics to back UP the request, but the
board neither raised nor lowered the val
uation, and as a result the state taxes
to be paid by this county in the coming
year will be increased over those OF last
year by $4,000
The valuation of the property in this
county was raised by the assessors this
year because of the many improvements
made in the past year. and the county
board of equalization have placed the val
uations on an equal basis between man
and man. So far as Sedgwick county is
concerned the valuation is thought to be
about correct, but after investigating and
studying the reports from other counties
over the state the commissioners decided
that the present valuation is too high in
comparison to these. Practically the
same condition existed last year and
when the state board was asked for a re-
duction of 10 2-3 per cent il was granted
Mr.. Chain states that he furnished the
board with papers and figures to prove
that the valuation OF Sedgwick county
was too high compared to that Of other
counties. but the board did not see fit to
make the reduction.
The state tax has been increased nine
tenths of a mill this year and with the
increased valuation the total state tax
will be increased in this county from
SIS. .O44. the amount paid in last year. 10
S74,249 this year, making a total increase
of something like $1,000 The commits
sioners consider that if the valuation
were placed on the proper basis the nat
uraI increase would amount to about
s11 900. The average amount of state tax
paid in will be about $500 per week In
this county the coming year. The increase
in Sedgwick county is higher than any
other county in the state. The increase
in Sumner county will be sl0,0es. in Cow
ley county s1G,o0e. in Reno county $4,000.
in Harvey county s. 900, and in Sedgwick
county $4,000. The increase in all other
counties ranges lower and Sedgwick
county appears to have got the worst OF
the bargain.

ONE KILLED, ONE WOUNDED.
Escaped Convicts Attacked by Pursu.
ina Officers.

San Francisco. July 29.-At latest
accounts the troops and posses organ
lied by the sheriffs of the different
counties are keeping in close touch
with the convicts, who broke out OF
state prison at Folsom. and thei' pris-
oners, the guards and jail officials
whom they have taken with them in
selt-protection. The party is moving
towards Coloma, where the citizens
have armed themselves. They have
been warned of the advance of the
conyicts and will unite with the au-
thorities in an effort to put an end to
their existence.
The result of the fight between the
convicts and the officers near Pilot
hill, in Eldorado county. was the
death Of Fred Howard. convict, killed
outright, and the wounding of another
convict. a negro named Seavis. When
last seen the convicts were in citizens
clothing. while the prisoners were
striped. The latter appeared to be
having a hard time of it, as they were
heavily laden with bundles and am
munition The latest information is
to the effect that another encounter
has taken place between the fleeing
convicts and their pursuers, resulting
in the death of John Allison, convict,
and of another, whose name is yet un.
known

OPENING PRICES HIGHER.
Better Feeling Apparent on the Stock
EXCHANGE.

New York, July 29.-Although open
ing prices of many stocks were higher
than at the previous days close the
market showed hesitating tone in the
early dealings. Nevertheless there
was more good buying of the high
priced railway shares. though in mod
crate amounts.
few of the high grade industrials
exhibited marked firmness. Sentiment
was increasingly cheerful. The alb,
sence of any more failure announce
ments in the first half hour helped to
create a better feeling. Short cover
ings were again extensive. Prices
yielded later on, partly as a result OF
realizing.
In the early afternoon, when pres
sure against AtchisOn was manifested,
the list sagged There was more or
less general recovery until the last
hour when a combination of rumOrs,
including impending trouble in Lon
don, further hot waves in the corn belt
and realizing sales, gave the market
another setback.
The closing was irregular and for
the most part the days gains were
wiped out. One of the encouraging
features of the day was the greater
ease for long time money. The rate
fer six months went off from 8 per
cent to 53S per cent. and In some In
stances long time loans at 512 per cent
were reported.
