Politics in Henv1epin

Holding the republican party to it's
reputation for principle and progress,
Mayor David P. Jones addressed two
enthusiastic audiences last night and
laid down fairly before the voters Of
his audiences his platform of law en-
a winning campaign. The opposition
that has hoped &c force the mayor to
give in on some questions is hard
pressed for something on which to base
its campaign. To date the mayor has
met every charge and in every meet
ing the charge has fattened. Some
voters, at first taken in by. the flood
binders, have since seen the mayor and
have heard him speak, with the result
that a strong and growing Jones wave
Is sweeping thru every voting precinct.
Mayor Jones spoke first last night at
lawn meeting at Second avenue S
and Thirty eighth street, and later in
avenue. That public sentiment is with
the mayor is shown by the hearty ap-
plause that greets him everywhere, that
interrupts his talks from time to time
as he brings out every point in his plat
form, and the cordial receptions and
congratulations that are everywhere
his. Old campaigners with no personal
interest in the mayoralty fight do not
hesitate to predict a sweeping victory
for the mayor. "..n
Last night the mayor emphatically
reiterated his law enforcement plat
form, and his confidence in the result
of the primaries next week.. 81 stand
pat on the law enforce ment.' said the
mayor. "There is lot of talk to be
heard to the effect that the saloon and
the law enforcement is not an issue. If
It is not, if it is small thing, why is
1t that you hear it talked of in every
office, in every store, in every factory,
and on every street in the citys It is
because law enforcement is an issue
that we hear of it. +
If YOU do not believe that it is an
issue, that it has been an issue in the
past few years, and that it is win

Report on the ;.
Food Problem
Uncle Sans Investigators Make
Some Important Observations.

The United States Department of Ag-
rlculture has learned much about food
by its investigations throughout the
past half century or more. A report
recently published by the department
is especially welcome at this time be-
cause of the widespread public interest
in the composition and value Of food.
Importance OF this subject, we quote
one paragraph Of the governments re-
port which speaks wildly Of the uses
Of food: NJ .
"Blood and muscle, bone and tendon,
brain and nerve-al1 the organs and
tissues of the body--are built from the
nutritive ingredients Of food. With
every motion Of the body, and with the
exercise of feeling and thought as well,
supplied by. food. The chief uses of
food, then, are two: % To form the
material Of the body and repair it's
wastes. and (2) to furnish muscular
and other power for the work it has
to do.''
Read over that last sentence about
the chief uses Of food and you will un-
derstand more readily why physicians,
scientists and other authorities on the
value Of foods say Malta-Vita is the
perfect food. Malta Vita builds up the
UOuy, I6pdlIS lGS WdSGo duu yleluS NUS
cular and other power to the greatest
extent. This is because Malta-Vita is
the. whole of the best white wheat,
steamed and. cooked, then mixed with
pure barley malt extract, rolled into
little wafer fakes and thoroughly
baked The malt extract, a powerful
digestive agent, converts the starch Of
the wheat into maltese, or malt sugar,
which physicians recommend because it
is SO strengthening Malta Vita sup
plies the body with every food element
required to build blood and muscle,
bone and tendon, brain and nerve, and
il is easy to digest.
Malta-Vita is delicious to the taste,
always crisp and appetizing.. Served
with cream or milk or fresh fruit it
makes the ideal breakfast. People who
know how good to eat and how nour-
ishing Malta-Vita is wouldn't try to
get along without it. All grocers sell
Multa- Vita, 10 cents aapackage.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 1.-Two deaths at
the state insane hospital at Jamestown on the
same date, and the. mixing of shipping tags by
attaches of the hospital resulted in both bodies
being buried at Thompson, this county.
Bjug Fl. Broke was committed to the insane
hospital on Nov. 80, 1900. He escaped from
the institution on Aug. T. 1902. and came to his
home at Thompson, where he remained for some
time. He conceived the idea that he had some
business to transact with Superintendent Moore
and returned to jamestown. When he appeared
at the hospital he Immediately locked up,
and remained there until his death week ago
On his death Mrs. Broke was notified and
directed that the body be sent to Thompson
Arrangements were made for the funeral. but
when Mrs. Brokke had the casket opened in
order that she might see the remains of her
husband, she was terribly shocked to find that
the body was not his. She advised the asylum
authorities and was directed to have the body
buried at Thompson. The remains Of her hus
band were forwarded at once, SO that both of
the bodies now rest in the little cemetery. at

ST. Croix Falls, Wis, Sept. 1.-THE St.
CIoix river is practically dry stream owing
to the closing down of the dams. All the water
above here has been drained of and the Nevers
dam has been closed The channel Of the river
is practically changed and great crowds of
sightseers have been here to see the work.
This will permit the work on the big concrete
power dam here to be rushed along without in
terruption and without fear Of loss of any kind.
The section of the big dam that started
but three weeks ago is fully complete, showing
how the work is being rushed. The last gap is
yet to be put in and the changing Of the channel
of the river and the practical drying up of the
stream bed will allow this work to be put thru
In pretty quick time.
In hurrying along the work Of construction OF
the big power dam concrete from three plants
will be used SO that the construction should be
more rapid than ever before. Large crews have
been put at work on the rock piles getting great
quantities ready to use.
The river channel is so changed that the water
goes all under the big dam that has beeen COM
pleted, this being on the Wisconsin shore. The
Golfer dams where logs have been suiced are
being rushed at the present time. The blasting
work is something terrific, there being about
200 discharges of dynamite day. ...t

OLD BUFFALO BATTLE-GROUND
Creek Bed Near Rapid City Yields
Countless Bones,

RAPID CITY. s.. D.-The remains Of numer-
Gus fighting buffalo who doubtless fell in a
vain attempt to maintain the supremacy Of the
town. They were from five to six feet below
the surface, and tho they had been buried for
over half Il century and some are partially de-
composed. yet most of the collection are re-
markedly well preserved.
The story that the old timers tell is this.
At certain seasons of the year the buffalo We're
accustomed to congregate In vast numbers at
which time the annual contest for the supremacy
of the herd would be fought to the death The
battle took place between the males and so
aercely was it waged, that, at It's close the
plain would be covered with the bodies Of the
defeated contestants.
The bones exhibition and some
remarkably beautiful buffalo horns are among
the collection.
