A DUEL IN MISSOURI
In Which All Participants Were Killed
 Or Mortally Wounded.

St Louis, Mo. July "A special to the Post Dispatch from Steelville. Mo. says: One dead and three perhaps fatally injured is the result of a duel with revolvers which took place here this afternoon between Sheriff w. F.. Taff of Crawford county. his deputy. Perry Ives. Deputy Marshal John Woods and Robert StanSs, a farmer. and his son, Hirschel. aged twenty three years. Robert Stanks was shot through the heart, death resulting in- stantly. w. F.. Taff, sheriff. was shot through the stomach and will die: Hirschel Stank is fatally shot. and Perry Ives, deputy sheriff. was shot in the mouth. His condition is dangerous. The trouble originated in the refusal of young Stanks to submit to arrest. He is charged with having offended the daughter of Benjamin Ogles. wealthy farmer who filed a complaint against him. When Sheriff Taff approached, Stanks warned him away, saying thera would be trouble if he attempted Co take him into custody.
 Robert Stanks came up at that mo- ment, and after learning that his son was about to be arrested hurried home where he procured revolver. He re- turned to the Crawford County Bank building. where the sheriff and Stanks son were standing.
 Here, take this.' said the elder Stanks to his son, and if Taff don't leave you alone you know how to pro- | tect yourself"
 The sheriff tried to argue with the elder Stanks but to no purpose. He then took Hirschel by the arm, and as he did so the prisoner began firing. One oi i the bullets struck Taff in the stomach and he sank unconscious to the ground Ives, attracted by the shooting, rar up and opened fire. Hirschel Stanks 1 fell at the first shot and his father
 wrested the pistol from him and began | firing on the deputy sheriff. The latter was shot twice, in the mouth and the right leg. City Marshal Woods came
 to the rescue of the officers at this polQt moment later the elder Stank' 1 fell dead, a bullet through his heart It is believed that Deputy Sheriff I've!
 is the only one of the four shot that has
 a chance to recover.
 The Shooting occurred on one of tho principal business streets and threv the little town into a furore of excite
 ment.

WORLD WAITS For the Death of Pope Leo
 XIII.
 ALARM DEVELOPED At First Only a Severe Gold Yesterday Morning.
PNEUMONIA OF OLD AGE
Early In The Morning Came Word From Rome That His Holiness Would Probably Succumb at Any Time.

Rome, July Alt appears that the condition of the pope became suddenly worse after yesterdays drive in the vatican gardens when, notwithstanding the fact that the temperature was s6 degrees, he caught cold and it settled in his chest and head, producing short ly afterwards a diffuse bronchial catarrh accompanied by a slight cough, thirst, lassitude and watery eyes. For tunately up to the present no fever has developed, not even increased heat, and there has been no acceleration of the pulse. which is rather weak.
 All the efforts of Dr. Eapponi tend to combat the catarrh and prevent its further spread, and especially its de- velopment into bronchitis or inffamlna- ton of the lungs.
 Feeling his responsibility. Dr. Lap Doni would have liked to have had Q consultation with the best physicians in Rome. but the pope absolutely re- fused to agree to this, and he said he had entire confidence in Dr. Lapponi. and added that the only other person he would allow to be called was Dr. MaZzoni, who operated on the pOntiff in 1899.
  Mazzoni was surgeon. and that there fore his professional services were not needed, the pope replied: Tt does not matter It is not for his profession that . I want him, but because I like him.
 Ii has therefore been decided that Dr. Mazzoni will visit the pope tomorrow morning.
 Although no medical bulletin has been issued, it was learned late this ev- cning that the pope's illness may be de- fined as senilc pneumonia. which has settled especially in the right lung.
 The OsserVatorie Romano, fearing that the suspension of the audience. which has been decided upo3. would cause anxiety. interviewed Dr. Lappo- nj, who said that the pope had been rather fatiguad by the recent recep- lions and had cOnsented to follow his advice and take several days rest. His holiness. however, has been unable to leave his bed since last night and his heart is gradually becoming weak CT, necessitating frequent doses of digi- tails. The tempe-e ture in the axilla is normal, as is nearly always the case in the form of pneumonia from which the pontiff is suffering.
 The chief cause of the patients un- eaSiness is a shortneSS of breath due 10 accuEulations, and as his holiness coughs very little, there is scarcely any approximation Of mucus from the trachea CT lungs.
 Judging from the present symptoms the progncGis is that if all goes well ihe crisis leading to recovery will oc- cur within seven or eight days, but il the disease takes a bad turn. especially if the heart grows weaker, d catas- trophe may occur in four CT five days Some Of the court digEitaries, it is said have been ordered to postpone their de parture for their holidays.
 The alarming symptoms of the pope's illness have lately developed so rapid ly that his death is now hourly eX- pected.

THE FLAG WAS DEATH
An Extraordinary Accident at Pitts
 burg Yesterday.

Pittsburg. Pa, July 4.-During the progress of a terrific rain storm here today four persons were killed in an accident of a most unusual character. A large American flag suspended from a grocery store became soaked with rain. and the high wind blew it against an electric light wire which was carry ing 2,000 volts. The wire snapped un der the pressure and fell into the street. one end lying in a pool of water and charging it. John Visa, running for shelter, stepped into the pool of water and fell dead.
 Shortly after this the Statti family, numbering seven, drove by. The driver was hurrying to reach a place of shei- ter, and as he approached the broken wire hundreds of people tried to warn him of the danger, but could not make him understand until too late. Che of the horses stepped into the pool and fell paralyzed.
 The occupants of the surrey imme- diately began to jump, and the four who leaped from the side opposite the wire escaped injury. But the three on the other side in their excitement fell

Food may make a body strong and stout and yet not strengthen the brain unless the food be rich in albumen and Phosphate of Potash, on which the delicate cells of the brain and nerves must be rebuilt.
 Grape-Nuts is rich in these elements and repairs this wasted tissue as trial of the food proves:
 "In the fall O; 1899 I entered the In- diana Dental College at Indianapolis after a summer of hard work during which time I consumed as much bread, meats, potatoes. etc. as the average human being will eat and although l felt we'll physically I was utterly inca pable of hard study and on warm af- ternoons during lectures I could hardly keep awake. I could not study at night at all and would wake in the morning with heavy headaches.
