eled today who examined the ply

Governor Was Secured for chautau-
qua Address There July q.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 6.-The Chautau
qua managers at Malvern secured Gov
ernor Cummins for the Fourth of July
address for that community. For the
occasion the governor prepared an adj
dress on 1.-THE Reign of the Common
People," Addresses similar to this one
will be delivered by him different parts
of the state, ten or twelve times dur
ing the summer, when other people are
taking vacations.
In this address the governor points
out to the people wherein their control
of their own governmental affairs is in
danger. The governor does not con-
cede that the people have lost control
vet, but he seeks to point out to them
the encroachment upon the rights and
privileges of the people by the cor
.porations which ever are seeking adj
vantages and special privileges.
For instance, who ever heard of a
railroad manager who voluntarily con-
sented to any kind of regulation? 1t
is fact, commonly recognized, that
the railroads always have opposed
every form of regulation proposed by
the people and have only accepted
those which they could not avoid. Per-
taps honestly believing that the rail-
roads are their own. private property
which should not be interfered with by
the people in particular, the managers
of the railroads have always bitterly
and to the end opposed regulation OF
rates, all laws affecting the accommo-
dations required to be given their pa
irons, the equipment of their trains
with safety appliances and every effort

FROM THE EDITOR.

He Forgot That He Had Stomach.
Talking of food, there is probably no
professional man subjected to a great
err. more wearing mental strain than
the responsible editor Of a modern
newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the edl-
tor must keep his physical powers up
to the highest rate of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and a disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have right
food which can be readily assimilat-
ed and which furnishes true brain
nourishment.
"My personal experience in the use
Of Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Cof-
fee" writes a Philadelphia editor, so
exactly agrees with your advertised
claim as to their merits that any furth-
or exposition in that direction would
seem to be superfluous. They have
benefited me so much, however our
ing the five years that I have used
them. that / do not feel justified IN
withholding my testimony.
! General high living with all that
the expression implies as to gener-
GUS table, brought about indigestion,
In INV case, with restlessness at night,
ard lassitude in the morning, accom-
panied by various pains and distressing
sensations during working hours. The
doctor diagnosed the condition as ca
tarrh of the stomach: and prescribed
various medicines, which did me no
GOOD. I finally threw physics TO the
dogs gave UP tea and coffee and heavy
meat dishes, and adopted Grape-Nuts
and Postum Food Coffee as the CHIEF
articles of my diet.
81 can conscientiously say, and l
wish to say it with all the emphasis
nossible to the English language, that
they have benefited me as medicines
never did. and more than any other
food that ever came on my table. My
exnerience is that Grape-Nuts food
has steadied and strengthened both
brain and nerves to a most positive de-
gree. How it does 1t, cannot say, but
i know that after breakfasting on
Grape Nuts food one actually forgets
he has stomach, let alone stomach
trouble 1t is, in my opinion the most
beneficial as we'll as the most econom-
zeal food on the market, and has abso-
lutely no rival" Name given by Pos

His state Of mind after his early wan

Waterloo, July 6.-Word from Hud-

solved. He gives his name as John r.
McGrath and he appears to be labor.
Ing under a great mental strain. He
apparently feared arrest. but could or
would give no reason why he should
expect to be taken into custody. Peo-
pie in the vicinity Of Hudson believe
he has committed some crime ard that
fear Of arrest and punishment has
driven him insane.
Mr.. McGrath Is about forty years of
age, weighs zoo pounds. has a smooth
face and Is well dressed. Ills clothing
had become soiled by travel thru
meadows and cornf1elds. thru which
he confessed to have wandered for
several days in order to escape the
imaginary officers.
He has been travelling for the Fox
wholesale liquor house. Papers In his
pockets indicate that he lives at 203
ter also resides.
He carries a fine gold watch which
was presented to him by his mother
some years ago. or the timepiece he
seems very fond as 1t evidently arouses
pleasant memories of home.
Sheriff Caldwell will hold the fellow
in custody until his relatives can be
