DEATH LIST NOW ITO.
But Number of Missing in Slocum
Disaster Is Little Changed. q

storm that swept over the city. the
searchers for victims Of the General
Slocum disaster held to their grewsome
work and today the total number Of
bodies recovered had reached no. An
alarming result of the developments of
the last three or four days has been
that, although more than 200 bodies
have been taken from the river, the list
of missing has remained almost IN
changed Today, when the total of
bodies recovered exceeded $50, the list
of missing continued well in excess of
300

SHAW DISCUSSES PLATFORM.
Opinion That Tariff Matter
VIII Be First Settled.

Chicago, June 21.-It is now generally
conceded by all wings of the Republic
can assem- blage that Secretary Shaw,
with Senator Allison, has drawn up the
tariff plank and the financial declara-
tons which will be submitted by the
resolutions committee. Secretary Shaw
arrived from St. Louis and at once be
came a center of interest to the leaders
who want to know il there is to be a
fight on the platform. He was very
guarded in his statements to delegates,
but he said:
In my judgment the tariff Will come
first I do not think that the party de-
clarations of four years ago Will be al
tered or amended, in any serious de-
gree. So far as Republican policies are
concerned there has been no great
change and I am quite sure that the
tariff utterances of the party will be
reiterated
In the matter Of reciprocity the
Iowa idea was shelved by the action OF
the Iowa state convention. While
the party will not say to the country
that there will be no revision of the
tariff schedules, it is not likely that
any promise OF revision either in the
near future or later viii be made.
of course, the trust question will be
considered The policies of the admin
fstra ton and of President ROOsevelt's
position in regard to combinations Of
capital will be Endorsed in detail, but
no propositions VIII be advanced and
no promises made which would give
congress a chance to go amuck- The plat
form of 1900 stated that the tariff

4 Physician on Tood.

A physician of Portland, Ore, has
views about food He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity TO teach them to
protect their health especially by
hygfenic and dietetic laws
with such a feeling as to my duty
take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation
have found no food to equal era Pc
Nuts and that I ind there is almost
no limit TO the great benefit this food

sickness and convalescence-
1T Is my experience that no phys
zeal condition forbids the use of
Grape-Nuts- To persons in health
there is nothing SO nOurishing and ac-
cepta bic to the stomach especially al
brea kfast to start the machinery of
the human system on the days work.
In cases of indigestion I know that
q complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream, and I think il
is necessary not to overload the stoTn-

the great value of Grape-Nuts when

Chicago, June 21.-Senator Tom
Plat lost his baggage somewhere be
tween New York and Chicago and
yesterday he was obliged to turn his
collar and go around with secondary
linen and a dinky travelling hat that
looked more like a Hcorice l0zenge

and in the same car with Mr. Platt,
but Depew's baggage reached the
hotel almost as soon as he did.

MRS. sNITTH-HUOIANITARIAN.
How Wife Of KinsIey Senator Put an
End to Cats Suffering.

Mrs. F. Dumont Smith. of Kinsley,
Kansas, has inaugurated a new system
of animal determination in Topeka and
it would be well if Topeka would adopt
it.
Some days ago while Mrs Smith was
visiting in Topeka she saw an old cat
in an alley so infected with mango that
the animal was horrible sight. Mrs.
Smith took pity Of the suffering cat and
she employed a man to capture it and
Ia Ike it to a corner drug store. Then
Mrs Smith secured the services Of the
druggist to ehIoroform the cat. The cat
was placed under a bucket and a bunch
OF cotton saturated with chloToform
was put under the bucket In a few
minutes the NANCY cat was sleeping
peacefully and forgotten its worldly
troubles and its mango and in a short
time was dead There was no bowling,
mewing nor scratching and no shots
and yells.
