A Mlser's Savjnus.

The accumulation of 100000 from a
grammar school principals salary,
ranging from $500 to $1,000 year,
for fifty years, Is the remarkable
achievement of Professor Alpheus Du
Bois of New York. 1t is an achieve.
ment las mysterious to the ordinary
mind as is the rapid accumulation of
millions by some public officials whose
salaries are less than their cost of liv.
ing. Three thousand dollars year for
fifty years aggregates $3.50, ,000-$350,. ).
900 less than 100000. Yet reference
to the interest table will show that the
feat which seems so extraordinary. II
not impossible, may be accomplished
very easily. Nothing accumulates
faster than money at compound inter.
est. Ten dollars saved every year and
invested at five per cent. will amount
to $1,000 in thirty-five years, and
$4,000 laid aside from salary of
$4,000 and allowed to accumulate for
forty years will grow to about $3.50. 900.
Another ten years will put It very near
the 100000 mark. Du Bois had the
advantage for many years of seven per
cent. legal interest.
So the wonder is. not that his
modest salary proved the seed of a
big fortune. but that anyone well paid
for years should come to old age with
empty hands.-Chicago journal.

HEALTHY CHILDREN.

Without good health life is not
worth living. Sickly. peevish chill.
dren are source Of endless trouble
and anxiety to their parents, yet the
children's condition is frequently due
to their parents ignorance or thought
lessness, or both.
To make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition 1t is nee
essary to feed them proper food and
to see that they get plenty. of exer-
else and fresh air. Meat Is very bad
for children. 1t should be avoided
and food rich In phosphates, such a.
Pillsbury's vitos, should BE- given In
Its place.
This food is truly the meat Of the
wheat" It is made by the worlds
greatest millers and 1t Is free from
artificial colorins or adulteration. 1t
is not especially child's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this common
sense cereal. 1t makes q wholesome.
substantial breakfast or an appetiz.
ing dessert and can be prepared in
one hundred different ways.
Every good grocer will supply you
with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large pack
age-enough to make twelve pounds
of strength-building food. Ask your
grocer about 1t today.

W. c. T. U. CONVENTION.
Mrs. Stevens, President, Discusses tho
Canteen Question.

Los Angeles, Calif.-The first days
session of the thirty-second annual
convention of the National Womens
Christian Temperance Union was de-
voted to routine matters. In her an.
nual address Mrs. Lillian Stevens,
president, commented upon the va
rious legislative measures the organi-
zation is urging, both In state Legis-
latures and in the National Congress,
and spoke encouragingly of the future
growth of the temperance movement.
Mrs. Stevens reviewed the develop.
ments of the past year and saw much
reason for encouragement. Upon the
subject Of reform bills introduced in
the last Congress and which were not
acted upon, she said:
AT mention of this there is before
you visions of petitions you have cir
culated, memories of weary miles you
have traversed, rebuffs you have en-
dured, arguments you have presented,
delays and postponements. But no
memories of defeat, for you have
wrought with triumphant spirit and
that same spirit Is ours to-day as we
look forward to the coming months"
Mrs. Stevens was positive In her at
titude against the re-establishment of
the army canteen. She read letters
from Secretary of War Taft and others,
showing that army officers, as a rule
claim there is more drunkenness
among enlisted men since the canteen
has been abolished than before. but
she insisted that no statistics have
been compiled to support their posi-
ton.
'''rhe attempt to restore the canteen
is only small part of the work of the
liquor element of this country" said
the president Il confidently predict
that Congress will take no adverse
action the coming winter"
Mrs. Stevens touched on all the ques-
tions with which the temperance or
ganization concerns itself, including
Mormonism, the purity crusade, patent
medicines and the Gothenburg system
of regulating the liquor traffic which
she strongly opposed as a compromise
with the traffic.

ROOSEVELT IN NEW ORLEANS.
Density Of Crowd Prevents Public
Address.

New Orleans.-The Presidents New
Orleans reception was signal testi-
monial of popular esteem and of CRATE
full recognition of the service which he
has rendered the city in her period OF
stress.
New Orleans remembered not only
that the President had acted with char
acteristic promptness when asked to
send federal surgeons TO take charge of
the fever struggle. but throughout the
fight here sustained the people of the
stricken city with expressions of un-
failing sympathy. and when a large
share of the public opinion of the coun-
try opposed his venturing into New
Orleans with the fever still prevailing,
he refused to consider the element OF
personal danger and declared his pur-
pose to keep the promise he made
when he accepted the original invita-
tion to come.
The densely crowded streets. the
elaborate decorations. the wild ap-
plause that greeted him along the
whole route of the parade, the enthus-
iasm with which his address TO the
multitude In Lafayette square was re-
ceived and the remarkable demonstra-
tion In his honor at the luncheon,
were outward manifestations OF the
spirit in which the people welcomed
here.
Probably for the first time in his pub.
lie career the President was compelled
TO abandon public address before he
had got well started on 1t.
1t was contemplated that the mill.
tary and civic parade should pass In
review before the President at the city
hall, but the crowd which gathered Mt
this point was so tremendous that
neither the police nor the troops were
able to move It. and the President. fore.
seeing possible catastrophe In the
event of panic. finally gave up the at
tempt 10 speak and left the platform.
The crowd jammed st. Charles
street from property line to property
line all the way from Poydras TO Ninth
street, and it's spread over Lafayette
street was complete. over 10000 peo.
pie were gathered In and around the
stand from which the President was TO
have delivered his address.
When the President decided ia
abandon his effort. he shouted to the
throng to go home and be good citlzens
and then disappeared into the mayors
parlors. wen nigh exhausted.
To those about him he expressed
himself as immensely pleased with the
demonstration IN his honor. which was
far beyond his expectations or the cS.
poctations Of the members OF his party
and said that the reception was the
greatest that he had hal since he had
started ON his trip.
Tonight he will spend on n light.
house tender and tomorrow morning
he wnl board the cruiser West vir.
ginia TO make the return trip to Nor,

PRESIDENT IN DANGER.
His Vessel Comes in Collision With
Fruit Steamer.

Flagship West Virginia. via New
Orleans, by wireless.-At II o'clock
Thursday evening. through confusion
of signals, the fruit steamer Esparata
collided with the lighthouse tender
Magnolia which was conveying the
President, Secretary Loeb and Dr..
RiNey TO the cruiser West Virginia. The
rail and port bow of the Magnolia was
damaged and two or three holes made
in the vessel below the water line. No
one was hurt.
The Magnolia Immediately on being
struck was beached. her bow being
high and dry. After a careful eXamin-
alton of the damage to the vessel II
was evident there was no danger and
the President and his party went to
bed. Major Craighill. United States
engineers, whose ship. the Ivy, sister
ship of the Magnolia, had preceded the
Magnolia and was some distance
ahead, sent an order TO head the Ivy
off at Pilot station and have her re.
turn for the President and his party.
The transfer was made ut 3 o'clock
thsi morning. The vessel got under
way Immediately and the West Vir-
ginia was boarded on schedule time.

PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from

and some important details secured in a

"Well, had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my

into it. These sensations Were followed
by terrible pains, and again Iwould have
no feeling at all, but n Dnmbness would

from headaches and pain in the spine.

BIG LAND FRAUDS.
Alleged to Have Been Practiced In
Northeastern Colorado.

Denver.-The Republican says: Gil
gantic land frauds in Washington,
Morgan and Yuma counties have been
unearthed by the federal grand jury.
and as result of these frauds, by
which the government has been de-
frauded of thousands of acres of land,
seven of the most prominent men OF
northeastern Colorado have been in
dicted. The frauds are asserted to
have been carried on for years, and the
chief reason that many others have
not been indicted is stated to be that
the statute of limitations works in
favor Of those under suspicion.
1t Is claimed that the government
has but just begun the work, and that
before it is through more than score
more will be indicted for their con.
nection with an alleged conspiracy.
The grand jury which returned the in
dictments has been discharged, but 1t
is probable that another will be sum-
moned to probe further.
The men indicted are Peter Camp
bell, former register of the United
States land Office at Akron. three
counts for perjury; P. E. Beeney,
county treasurer of Washington
county, two counts for perjury; A. A.
Mexican, clerk of the District Court
of Yuma county. nine counts for for
gerry; d. w. Irwin. politician, Ave
counts for perjury; L. c. Stoner, a
ranchman of Otis. Colorado, one count
for perjury; w. F. Buell., hotel proprie.
tor, Yuma, Colorado, one count for per-
jury; o. p. Smith. ranchman Of
Otis, one count for perjury. Capiases
have been issued in all of these cases
and have been served and the men
placed under arrest.
The system. through which 1t is as
serted the men indicted operated, is
said to have been worked chiefly on
timber culture claims. In the vicinity
of Akron and Wray, years ago, entries
were made on what were known as
timber culture land
1t is asserted that these claims,
after having been practically aband.
oned, We're proved up fraudulently at
the instigation of the men who have
been indicted and for their benefit.

WItte and Trepoff Disagree
Municipal Council Demands Polit-

st. Petersburg-While the day
passed quietly without bloOdshed In
the Russian capital, and while the city
is Outwardly calm, developments all In
dicate that a crisis Is imminent. Al
though the streets are filled with
troops and reinforcements are now
pouring In from Finland, the govern
ment seems utterly powerless to cope
with the situation and many calm OBJ
servers seem to believe that the pres
ent regime Is tottering to Its fall.
Differences have developed between
Count Witte and General Trepoff, ana
while the precious moments pass, the
emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains shut up at Peterhof,
seemingly still hesitating as to what
course to pursue. Grave doubts are
expressed as to whether even the i'm
perial guard can now be relied upon.
Discomfort is rife. EARLY this morn
ing the Fourteenth and Eighteenth
equipages of sailors of the guard who
have been shut up like prisoners In
barracks on the Moska canal, de-
molished the windows and furniture
and in the afternoon n detachment
consisting of four officials of the guard,
went to the lawyers assembly and told
the barristers that many OF the officers
and large part Of the troops were
disgusted with the government and
were ready to enlist in the movement
for freedom.
A meeting of the municipal council
was held this evening at which depu-
tation of thirty members of the strik-
ers' committee appeared. In an i'm.
passloned speech the leader of the
deputation presented the following
demands of the workmen and affiliated
organizations:
"First-A constitution and political
liberty.
"Second-That the city furnish food
to the worimen.
"Third-That the city refuse fur
ther supplies to the troops and the
police.
"Fifth-That the troops be removed
from the water works or otherwise the
strikers would cut off the water sup
ply.
"Fifth-The immunity of the depu-
tation from arrest"
The council granted this last de-
mand and promised an early reply to
the other demands.
The foreign embassies have dis
cussed the situation, but have as yet
taken no steps regarding the safety OF
foreign residents. AS n precaution the
State Department at Washington has
been requested to confer authority for
the charter Of vessel and TO hoist
on 1t the American flag as a refuge
for Americans.

CONVENTION SPLITS.
Faction Opposes President Roosevelt's
Railroad Policy.


Chicago. to stand for
President Roosevelt's policy for the
regulation of railroad rates, a large
number of delegates to the Interstate
Commerce Law Convention were
barred from the convention of that Or
ganization Thursday, and thereupon
held separate meeting to give ex.
preston to their ideas on the subject.
Aware of alleged attempts to thwart
the purpose of the convention, the
delegates at Steinway hall refused to
admit delegates, although properly ac-
credited, unless they would agree to
support the Presidents rate plan.
These delegates objected to the pro-
.cedure, demanding they be given the
right of free speech, while the oppo'
sition charged they were sent by the
railroads and other alleged interests
to pack the convention.
A number of exciting scenes fol-
lowed before the meetings were called
to order in the conventions of both
sides The number of delegates at
each convention was about equal,
ranging between 400 and 800.
Speeches, organization and resolu.
tions including one which was pre-
sented in the Studebaker hall conven-
ton asking the President to settle the
dispute as to which was the regular
convention, but upon which no action
was taken, occupied the time of the
first meetings,
The conventions will continue in
session tomorrow, when resolutions
will be adopted by the Steinway hall
convention in favor of the Presidents
recommendation.
