SCRIPT AMOUNTS TO s125.ooo.
Commissioner Allen Knows of Claims
Estimated at $4,000 More.

James L. Allen, Price raid scrip COM
missioner, has checked up on the scrip
which he has in mis- possession, and he
finds he has about $125.0O0 worth for
which no claimants have appeared.
There are claimants for about $780, 900
more.
Under a law passed a good many
years ago all of this outstanding scrip
was to be sent to the state auditor, a
receipt was given to the owner, the
scrip was listed in a record, and filed
away in the vaults of the auditors Of
fee. This was years and years ago
and as no record was kept of the names
and addresses of the owners of the
scrip, it is impossible to tell whom II
belongs to except as the owners present
their receipts which show their owner
ship of the scrip. In many instances
it is likely that the persons to whom
the receipts were issued have died and
the receipts have passed into the hands
of heirs who do not understand what
they represent. When Mr.. Allen was
appointed scrip commissioner all of this
scrip which had lain in the auditors
vault for a score of years was listed
and turned over to him. That is how
he comes to have so much for which
there are no. clairnants-4ss - - -

DONNELLY WEAKENS.
Strike Leader Is Willing to Make
Some Concessions.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-President Michael
Donnelly of the butchers organization,
admitting that, he is ready to waive
some of the demands that have caused
the dead lock between employers and
employees in the StockyardS' strike de-
clared today that he does not believe
there is any prospect of an immediate
settlement.
A statement to this effect came from
the strike leader while a. committee of
retail meat dealers was preparing to
call on Mayor Harrison to intervene
and settle the strike.
I'VE are willing to accept the inter
vention of the mayor or any third
party, but do not think the packers
want any third party to intervene, -
said Mr.. Donnelly. Nor do think the
Intervention
He was asked if he was willing to
make any concessions Should Mayor
Harrison tender his offices as a medi-
ator. In reply Mr.. Donnelly said:
Il think we would be willing to waive
the clause upon which we first insisted,
providing for the reinstatement of all
men within 10 days and all the skilled
however, would have to be made by the
allied trades conference board"
Fearing that stockyards' fever would
develop to a serious extent among the
thousands of cattle that are held I'M
usually long at the stockyards since the
strike began the department of agri-
culture has introduced itself in the Chi
cago situation by having a special in
vestigation made. A report on the sit
uation has been prepared for the sec
rotary of agriculture by f. H Giles,
who has conducted his culture work
with fever germs
+ 'sAccliniation of cattle and horses
shipped from one part of the country
to another was found very difficult, =
said Mr.. Giles today, until the depart
ment discovered the germicide by which
fever in cattle and horses can be pre-
vented. Fortunately there is little cat
tie fever in Chicago and the purpose. is
not to let it become menace. Few re-
alize the great Importance of this work,
not ocmprehending the almost infinite
number of cattle, horses, sheep and
nogs that may become infected with
diseases"

MARKET CONFUSED.
Speculative Sentiment Appears Unde-
cided ON Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 13.-Speculative
sentiment has been somewhat con-
fused this week as revealed in the
movements in the stock market. But
the government crop report of condi-
lions of the grain crops August 1
quieted fears regarding the extent of
damage done to wheat and occasioned
cheerful expectations regarding the
corn crop in addition to the cotton
crop. The stock market turned
strong in consequence. Fears of a
disruption of the pools for maintain
ing prices of steel products were a dis
quieting influence and the unsettled
labor situation had a conservative eff
feet. Furious speculation in the Met
ropolitan traction stocks on rumors
of a traction merger was a leading
feature of the week.

TUNNEL ROOF LEAKED.
Causing Serious Embarrassment for a
Short Time.

New York, Aug. 13.-A small fissure
in the rocks forming the roof Of the
tunnel now being dug under East river
from Battery park to Columbia Heights.
Brooklyn has caused much trouble to
the workrnen and finally the water
leaking through reached a depth of six
feet in one section before it could be
controlled by pumping. The leak was
only short distance from the sea wall
at the Battery. When it was discov-
cred two pumps were started but one
broke down, allowing the water to gain
rapidly. When repairs had been made
the rise was quickly checked and the
apparatus at the. end of the affected
section prevented the water from
reaching the outer portion of the tun-
mel and no permanent damage was
done.

OLD FASHIONED
But Still in the Fashion.

Tt is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food.
For two years I was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
There was nothing could eat but
20 or 80 minutes later I would be
splitting my food up in quantities until
1 would be very faint and weak. This
went on from day to day until I was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospects of being helped
zone day I was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream,
leaving off all fatty food. I had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me, as had tried so
many things without any help. But
it was so simple I thought I-would
give it trial, she insisted so.
"Well, ate some for breakfast, and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me- and asked
if 1 had tried her advice.
"'Glad you did, child; do you feel
some better?'
do, the only difference 1 can see is 1
have no sour stomach, and come to
think of it, haven't spit up your four
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet
Nor did 1 ever have any trouble
with Grape-Nuts then or any other
time, for this food always stays down
and my stomach digests it perfectly;
soon got strong and well again, and
bless that old lady every time I see
her.
"Once an invalid of 90 pounds, I
now weight 125 pounds and feel
strong and we'll, and it is due entirely
and only to having found the proper
food in Grape-Nuts." Name given by
Postum Co. Battle Greek, Mich.
