BIG BUILDINGS IN FLAMES.
Fire Adds to Terror Of Situation at
Siedlce.

Siedlce, Russian Poland, Sept. IL
Six buildings In the big bazaar of the
city are now in flames, adding another
terror to the killing and plundering
which has been going on here for the
last forty-eight hours.
Frequent shots and occasional vol
ley firing is still heard in different
parts OF the town, but because of the
general panic it is difficult to learn
accurately just what is transpiring.
AS far as 1t is possible to learn there
have been, up to the present time,
about sixty persons killed and 200
wounded
Hundreds of Jews are assembled at
the railroad station awaiting means OF
getting out of town, but Siedlce Is
surrounded by troops, who do not per-
NIT exit or entrance.
Field guns occupy points of vantage
on the principal streets.
There seems no doubt that the ter
rorists are responsible for provoking
the massacre by their fusillades from
roofs and windows on Saturday
against soldiers and policemen who
were patrolling the streets. Troops
surrounded the houses from which
this firing came and poured in volleys
through windows and doors This
was followed by search of the PREM
ises, which soon developed into whole
sale plundering and subsequently into
massacre and slaughter. The trou-
BILE began on Pienkna street and
spread rapidly to large portion OF
the town. Almost all the Jewish shops
have been looted. Owners who de-
Tended their property were killed or
wounded. Any person seen leaving
house or looking out of window was
shot without mercy.

Massacre at Siedice Foretoid in Press
Dispatches.


st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-THE pre-
dictions made in these dispatches on
Aug. R3 of Jewish massacre at
Siedlce, Russian Poland, unhappily
have been Justified by fighting which
broke out Saturday night and devel-
oped later into q carnival OF indls-
criminate slaughter and pillage In
which the soldiery and the mob took
part. Unfortunate Jews were shot
and bayonetted In the streets OF the
town. Houses and shops were broken
into and sacked Valuables were car
rted of and offered for sale by sol
diers to passengers on passing trains.
In addition to the Jews a number OF
Christians and even some officers met
their death In the fighting. The num-
her OF victims has not been estaD-
lished, but conservative estimates
place the dead at lao.
The early reports OF the Siedice
massacres put the responsibility at
the door Of the terrorists, but fugitives
declare that the soldiers never would
have been allowed to get SO complete
" out OF hand without the connivance,
u not the actual direction. OF their
officers.
It Is difficult to obtain details of the
trouble. as the town Is surrounded by
soldiers and nobody allowed to enter
Passengers, however, who arrived at
Warsaw during the night, gave the
following account of the slaughter:
YsrrorIsts XIII a Policeman.
After the murder of policeman by
terrorists on Saturday night and the
firing of volley by troops into the
assembled crowd, which resulted In
the killing Of two citizens and the
wounding of many moro, the terror
lists held a meeting and decided to
exact vengeance by inaugurating a
general campaign against the police
and the troops similar to the recent
activity along the same lines in War
saw. In the course OF Sunday morn
ing twelve patrolmen and soldiers were
killed. AS a result of this the Libau
regiment, In q state of infuriated
anger, left its barracks In the after
noon and marched into the Jewish
quarter, shooting right and left as 1t
went. The troops were joined by
crowds OF "hooligans," who co-operated
in the plundering and wantonly de-
stroyed everything they were unable
or undesirous of carrying away. The
sale OF booty by the soldiers went ON
under the very eye Of their officers.
At late hour in the afternoon the
Kiluga regiment arrived on q special
train from Bill and measures were
Instituted to put stop to the pogrom.
In spite of this. however. the shooting
continued up to late hour at night
and was resumed Monday morning.

~METZ-M'GOWAN COMEDY.
With a Hint From the Mayor That the City
Isn't Paying Celebration Bills.

For a few moments at yesterdays meet
ing of the Sinking Fund Commission there
was imminent a repetition Of the row which
occurred at last weeks meeting of the Board
of Estimate between Comptroller Metz and
President MCGOWAN Of the Board Of Alder
men. On Of the items on the oalenda r
related to the leasing of an office for the use
OF the Hudson-Fulton celebration commit
tee. Mr.. MCGOWAN refused to vote for the
proposition on the ground that the Comp
troller had not supplied him with a pre-
liminary report. Mr.. Metz said such a
report had been sent to the members but
Mr.. MCGOWAN insisted that the one adj
dressed to him had never reached him.
Il shall have to get an appropriation for
a special messenger whose duty it will be
to deliver all reports for the office Of the
President of the Board of Aldermen to the
president personally exclaimed Mr.. Metz,
aand another duty Of the special messenger
will be to attend board meetings ready to
make affidavit that he delivered the reports
into Mr.. McGowan's own hands"
Mr.. MCGOWAN leaned forward in his chair
to reply but Mayor Mcclellan banged his
gaveI and the matter under discussion was
laid over for a week.
Incidentally Mayor Mcclellan minated
that the celebration committee need expect
nothing more from the city than the money
needed to build the memorial bridge over
Spuytep Duyvil Creek.

SUPREME COURTS NEW RECORD.
Disposed Of Cases Within Eleven Months
OF Time They We're Filed.

" bhti' INV
WASHINGTON, June 5.-For the first time
in thirty-fve years the Supreme Court Of
the United States at the term just closed
made the unusual record of reaching and
disposing Of cases within eleven months
of the time they were filed. OF the sos
cases which remained on the docket when
the court adjourned on May 20 only 9
were filed in 1904, and these were reached
in regular order, but for one reason or other
were continued to next term; 1877 were
fled in 1905, and 1870 were filed up to May 20
in 1905. Sixteen of these cases have been
argued and submitted but are still held
under advisement by the court.
While thepe was an increase Of 81 in the
number OF cases disposed of during the
term-483 compared with 402 last term
there was an even greater number OF cases
filed, At the close OF the previous term
COZ cases had been filed and at the last
term 788, making an increase OF So. The
increase Of 81 in the number OF cases dis
posed Of cuts this down TO a net increase
Of IS cases for the term.
OF the cases which had been argued and
upon which the court failed to reached a
conclusion the most important were:
Attacking the validity of the railroad
rates made by the Florida Railroad Com
mission and the power of the North Carolina
Corporation Commission to order trains
80 run on branch lines as to connect with
through trains, the suit of the New York
Founding Asylum to regain possession OF
Arizona and adopted by white residents,
and the action brought by the half breed
members Of the Cherokee nation to de-
termine their rights to share with the full
breeds in the distribution of the lands and
trust funds belonging to the nation.

GRAPE.NuTS
THE POST DISCOVERY
A Revelation in Human Food.

Previous to the discovery of the Post
process of changing the starchy part Of
Wheat and Barley into a form of sugar,
many people suffered from what is
known as starch indigestion.
That was shown by gas and all sorts Of
stomach and bowel trouble, sometimes
ending in appendicitis) brought on by
the undigested starch in wheat, oats,
white bread, cake, buildings, etc, etc.
Nature ultimately Furnishes anyone
who continually takes some medicine or
drug to smooth over or nullify bad con-
ditions of the body. The only safe way
to cure such is to correct or remove
the cause. Therefore it was plain to Mr.,
Post, in working out his discovery, that
people who show some weakness in di-
costing the starchy part of food, (Which
is much the largest part of all we eat
must be helped by having the starch di-
gested or transformed before being eaten.
And Of course the safest and truest way
to do this would be to initiate nature and
avoid all chemicals or outside and unnat-
ural things. The body digests the
starchy food by the following process:
first the moisture or juices of the mouth
and stomach, then warmth or mild heat,
which grows or develops diastase from
the grain. Time is also an important
element and when all work together and
the human organs operate properly the
starch is slowly turned into a form Of
sugar, as it must be before the blood will
absorb it and carry the needed energy to
different parts of the body. Of course if
the body fails to do it's work perfectly
trouble sets in.
So in the making of the famous food
Grape-Nuts-molsture, warmth and time
are the only things used to turn starch
keeping the human food in original
purity, free from outside things and Just
as Mother Nature intends it shall be kept
for advantageous use by her children.
The food is fully cooked at the factories,
and is crisp and delicious with a little
thick cream poured over.
II can be softened for people with
weak teeth, but ia most valuable to
others when it must be energetically
chewed, thus bringing down the saliva
from the gums to go to the stomach and
help digest the entire meal, besides the
use of the teeth strengthens and pre-
serve them. Nature blesses the parts
of the body that are used and not abused.
Grape Nuts food brings eace, health
and comfort when people are in despair
from any one or the ails resulting from
undigested food.
