BILL AGAINST BLACKLIST.
Iowa Scion Would Stop Picketing
and Boycott-Hits Both Sides.

Des Moines, Feb. 4.-Senator Young
has introduced a bill in the legislature
providing severe penalties for boycott
ting and blacklisting. It forbids picket
ing at the place of business of an en-
ployer against whose establishment
strikes have been ordered, and prohibits
the printing and circulation of unfair
cards." circulars, etc. 1t provides as
q penalty a fine of from IS to $500 and
Imprisonment for not more than six
months The labor unions regard the
bill as aimed at them, though it applies
the same penalties for blacklisting en-
ployes as for boycotting.
The physicians of the legislature to-
day met and considered two bills pro-
viding for the maintenance of state
hospitals for conSumptiveS. The blind
people OF the state have petitioned the
legislature to reopen the industrial
home for the blind at Knoxville. 1t
has been proposed to transform this in
stitutiOn into a reformatory for women
and into home for inebriates. 1t was
abandoned several years ago.

ding. Although the purchaser, who
gave his name as Crawford. did not
say that his principal was the Prince
of Wales, it is understood on trust

His royal highness is president of the
London Philatelic society and one of
the most enthusiastic collectors in
Great Britain. The Mauritius stamp
bears none of the original gum. but it
unquestionably has never been used,a

The specimen was the first ever sold

Within a year of the sale the same
company advertised for these stamps.

did not come back. and so far as known
not single specimen of this issue has
changed hands in London since that
time.
The famous TAPPING collection, now
in the British Museum, contains both
the 1 and 2 penny variety, the latter
used. Two copies of each value are al
so in the famous Ferrary collection at
Paris, and these will pass into the pos
session of the Louvre when their owner
dies. Eight more of the precious stamps
are in England, nine in France, and
one in Russia.

MOUNG MYA IS BETTER.
Burmese Juggler VIII Recover
Crowds at Exposition.

Moung Mya, the Burmese foot Jug
gler, whose engagement as one of the
leading features of the entertainment
programme of the Midwinter exposi-
ton was terminated suddenly Tuesday
night by an attack of pneumonia, was
reported this morning by his physician,
Dr. U, j. Mulvane, to be slightly inn
proved. DR.. Mulvane said:
believe we are going to pull him
through all right although he is quite
sick He has a genuine case of
pneumonia. I am inclined to think that
man of his nationality is less able to
resist that sort of fever, in this climate
to which he is not native, than is an
American His case, however, was Civ
en- attention in good time and his pros
poets could not be more cheerful"
Although he had only a few hours in
which to do so, Manager Brigham was
able to secure a comedy acrobatic and
slack wire artist in the person of VIII
ROLAND, who pleased the crowds at the
exposition Wednesday very much by
his performance. The Steiner brothers
are giving some triple bar comedy work
which is especially funny and is being
we'll received. Some of the acts in this
performance are extremely difficult and
involve considerable danger of physical
Injury. The two men toss themselves
around and under the bars with a
nicely which demands instant approba-
ton from the spectators. In many of
these acts a slight miscalculaticn on
the part OF either might repay both
with broken bones or necks
As predicted the daily attendance is
climbing steadily. Against about 3,400
on Tuesday, Wednesdays attendance
reached 1900. Today's attendance,
judging from the condition of the
weather and from the experience of the
previous expositions. will exceed that
of any day thus far. Saturday will
again be observed as a children's dav.
and the little people will be served with

BUCKET SHOP VICTIMS.
Many Creditors of Late Hutchinson
Deal Are Appearing.

Hutchinson, Kan. Feb. NO new
developments have occurred in the
case of Phillip Myers, the broker, who
left here so suddenly with a number of
accounts weak on the credit side. The
only property of value left here was
the office furniture and this was bur
dened by not being fully paid for. AS
about that Myers had taken French
leave there was an immediate STAN
pede among his creditors in the city to
secure themselves by attachments on
this office furniture, such that several
attachments have been filed on the
property. the amount of which will be
far from covering the actual losses in
volved.
One of the local telephone companies
was caught to the extent of $50 for I'M
paid bills incurred in communicating
with nearby cities and local grain mar
kets. Various parties were caught on
small accounts of $50 up, these being in
most instances the money of those who
took small flyers on the Chicago and
New York grain markets. The business
being that a bucket shop causes a
great deal of reluctance on the part Of
the victims to make disclosures as
either fearful of importing their finan-
cial standing or from the personal en-
barrassment resulting from an ac-
acknowledgement of playing the markets
A great many victims for small
amounts doubtless exist over the coun-
try adjacent to Hutchinson since Myers
numb ered something like 500 or 600 Gus
toners in the west who played regular
ly with him.

have never found a food to compare
with Grape-Nuts for the benefit of the
general health of all classes of people.
have recommended Grape-Nuts for
number of years to patients with the
greatest success. and every years ex-
perience makes me more enthusiastic
regarding its use.
I make it a rule to ALWAYS recon-
mend Grape-Nuts and Postum Food
Coffee in place OF coffee when giving
my patients instructions as to diet, for
I know both Grape-Nuts and Postum
can be digested by anyone.
"As for myself, when engaged in
much mental work my diet twice day
consists of Grape-Nuts and rich cream.
1 find It just the thing to build up gray
matter and keep the brain in good
working order
IN addition to it's wonderful effects
as a brain and nerve food, Grape-Nuts
always keep the digestive organs in
perfect, healthy tone. 1 carry it with
me when I travel. otherwise I am al
most certain to have trouble with my
stomach" Name given by Postum Co.,

Strong endorsements like the above
from physicians all over the country
have stamped Grape-Nuts the most
scientific food in the world.

Republican Negroes in Cleveland An
gered by the Tippecanoe.

Cleveland, Feb. 4.-Prominent colored
Republicans of The city are up in arms
against the Tippecanoe club, of which
Senator Hanna is the ruling factor. The
club gave a Mckinley day banquet last
Friday evening and invited all the
prominent white Republicans of the
city, but drew the color line George A.
Myers. J. z. Benson, J. A. Brown. Will
liam Clifford and State Representative
Euhanks did not get invitations. These
men, all colored. have been active in the
Republican ranks for years. In speak
ing of the matter today, Myers said:
The Tippecanoe club does not want
any colored members It has drawn the
color line. Take my case as an ex-
ample. AT the time Mckinley was noti-
fed of his nomination I was on the
notification committee. and I was then
good enough to eat at the same table
with the president"
