Hearing of these murders and seeing
the place where they were committed

to thinking that if you could catch a
cripple who couldn't defend himself you
would like to take a baseball club and
maui the stufiing out of him. You be-
come imbued with the idea that if you
went to war you would not want to
stand up and fight fair, but that you
would like to get your enemy in bunch
and drop dynamite down on him from a

fast lies in your stomach like mud
pie. What you eat does harm II you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even Of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years ago I contracted very
annoying form Of indigestion. My
stomach was in such condition that
a simple breakfast Of fruit toast and
egg gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet
but finally had to give 1t up, and
found a great change upon a cup OF
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than year l have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
II have been teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain OK
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value o.
Grape-Nuts.

CHARGE of Ballot Box Stuffing.

Mansfield, La: The grand jury ad-
journed yesterday without taking any
action on the charges Of alleged bal
lot box stuffing at Keatchie in the last
senatorial election, no foundation be-
ing found for the charges. This was
4 special election ordered by the gov
ernor to fill the vacancy in the state
senate from the Thirty-firSt District,
caused by the resignation Of w. C.
Davis, of Sabine parish. There were
two candidates.. ]. H0llingSw0rth
and J. J. Billingsley, both from De
Soto parish. Billingsley was elected
by an overwhelming majority. 1t was
alleged that more votes were pOlled
ut Keatchie than there were voters in
the precinct. However, no list of vOt.
ers could be found The grand jury,
in its final report, returned eighty-five
indictments out of 1877 cases investi-
gated. Among the indictments are two
for murder and one for manslaughter.
It appears that the controversy be-
tween Parish Superintendent of Edu-
cation William Goss and Prof. RE,
Bullock, former Principal of the Mans
field High School, has about settled
itself. Prof. Bullock has departed for
his new field of labor at Bastrop, and
the matter will likely blow over soon.

CEARIN ON POPULAR VOTE.
Says 1t Should Decide Senatorship ans
Control All legislators.

Portland, Or, May 9.-The Ore
gonian publishes the following state
ment made by Senator Gearin. of Ore
gon. to the Oregonian correspondent
at Washington:
IF Bourne receives majority of
the votes cast in June for senator, he
will be entitled to and should receive
every Democratic vote in the legisla-
ture. If l receive majority over
Bourne, the Republicans should vote
for me, and believe they will do so.
The people have as much right to
decide who shall be senator as they
have to decide who shall be governor,
and the people are fully as competent
as any legislature to select a senator.
~ consider it of vital Importance
to the people of Oregon that the pri-
mary law be enforced, and that no
legislature be selected that will repeal
it, or. by refusing to carry out its
plain intent, to that extent repeal it.
1.-The issue is squarely presented to
the people whether or not they shall
reap the fruits of their constitutional
amendment, or whether the new law
shall be broken down and our state re-
turn to its former administration by
machine politics.

CARRIERS MUST QUIT
DEALING IN PRODUCTS

Washington, May 1O.-The senate
spent the greater part of the day again
in the consideration of the question of
divorcing production of coal and other
commodities from their transportation
and closed that branch of its work by
adopting modified provision formally
offered by Senator Elkins but orig
inally suggested by Senator McLaurin,
as follows:
From and after May !. 1908, it
shall be unlawful for any common car
rier to transport from any state, terri
tory or district of the United States
to any other state, territory or district
Of the United States or to any foreign
country, any article or commodity
manufactured, mined or produced by
it or under its authority, or which it
may own in whole or in part, or in
which it may have any interest, direct
or indirect, except such articles or
commodities as may be necessary or
used in the conduct Of its business as
common carrier.
Senator Carter opposed the entire
proposition because of its antagonism
to the copper industry of his state.
Senator CLARK, of Montana, concurred
in this, and said that in addition it
had been necessary for all the trans
continental railroads to open up coal
mines not only for their own conven-
fence but as a necessity for the people
along their lines.
Senator Tillman spoke of the diff
Guilty of getting vote and of the slow
progress being made.
The Elkins amendment, as modified
by its author. passed by vote of 81
to 6. the negative votes being cast by
Messrs. Ankeny. Buckley, Clark. of
