RIVER NAVIGATION CONGRESS
Trans-Mississippi States Delegates to
Meet at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo.-The official call
for the seventeenth annual session of
the Mississippi commercial con-
gress to meet in Kansas City, M, No
vember 20, 81, % and % next was
issued here Sunday by the executive
committee.
In issuing this call, the executive
committee directs attention to the
necessity for some concerted action on
the great question affecting navigation
upon the rivers of the Mississippi
states. In various sections of the
s-Mississippi region there are
manp natural waterways which only
need government aid to make them
commercial factors in the upbuilding
of the states to which they are trib-
utary. Therefore, tho executive COM
mittee places the subject of river nav
igation upon the programme as a
question of great Importance, trusting
that the commercial bodies of the en-
tire trans Mississippi region send eff
fective delegations to participate in
the discussion and help the congress
to a wise conclusion.

ODESSA mutiny of huge proper
lions is believed to be in progress at
Sevastopol. The trouble is believed
to have started Saturday, and there
is every indication that the rebels
have gained the upper hand.
There has been no telegraphic com
munication with Savastopol since Sat
urday. This condition would not be
allowed to obtain if the government
could prevent it, and the fact that the
authorities have made no explanation
of the interruption of communications
adds to the belief that there has been
a mutiny and that the mutineers have
crippled the loyal forces to such an
extent that they are unable even to
call for help.
kauIbars Is Not Heard From.
Several days ago Governor General
Kaulbars went to Sevastopol to inves-
tigate the reports of serious disaffec-
ton among the troops. He has not
returned, and so far as is publicly
known he has not been heard from.
The inference that there is trouble
afoot at the fortress is strengthened
by an incident which occurred here
Sunday night, and which was carefully
noted by spies of the revolutionists,
who are perfectly familiar with the
secret signaling codes of the army and
navy.
A torpedo-boat destroyer appeared
several miles off the harbor and was
picked UP by the search light mounted
on the roof of the commandments resi-

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found cure
for constipation in children - citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts
Some time ago." he writes, II be-
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, l have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con-
stipation more or less severe. The re-
suit has been absolute relief in all.
II write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better it is thus to bring
about healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con-
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
1t is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as it goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs.
Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living.
They should grow into bright, strong,
cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children's teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent
list will tell you that certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary to grow strong, beautiful
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the sarae
as muscles, if they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which good
teeth are made.

HUNDREDS DIE At SEA
STEAMER STRIKES A REEF OFF
CAPE PALoS.
EMlGRANTS LOSE LIVES
Ship Sinks Stem First After Going on
Rocky Reef and Those Between
Decks Have no Chance
to Escape.

Cartagena, Spain-A terrible disas-
ter occurred Saturday evening of
Cape Palos.
The Italian steamship Sirio, from
Genoa for Barcelona, Cadiz, Montevi-
dec and Buenos Ayres, with about 500
persons on board, was wrecked off
Hormigas island
Three hundred emigrants, most of
them Italians and Spaniards, were
drowned.
The captain of the Sirio just before
he killed himself attributed the wreck
to his own imprudeice.
The bishop of Sac Pedro, Brazil,
also was lost, and it is reported that
another bishop is among the missing.
The remainder of the passengers
and the officers and crew got away in
the ships boats or were rescued by
means of boats sent to them from the
shore.
A number of fishermen who made
attmepts at rescue were drowned.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos in pitiable condi-
ton, being without food or clothing.
The Sirio struck rocky reef known
as Bajos Hormigas and sank soon
after, stern first Hormigas island lies
about two and half miles to the east
ward of Cape Palos.
Before he committed suicide the
captain declared the steamer had GAS
passengers on board and that her crew
numbered 127 men. The Sirio had $40

'but additional Spanish steamers were

PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.


The fatted calf never loves the
prodigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe it.
Alas, that fools are prosperous. Is
1t their penalty or reward?
How many Of us in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins?
To think an original thought is to
take a step nearer the divine.
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately.
1t is easier for some people to be-
Iieve the impossible than the pos
sible.
Before it was thrown down, the
Golden Calf had a son, and 1t is still
mooing around the world.
1t is self-evident that to success
fully fathom the motives of men one
must be a man himself. To an idiot
to a lunatic-all men are either
idiots or lunatics.

Meanwhile there is much uneasiness
regarding conditions in this city. For
several days there have been persist
ent reports that portion of the gar
rison were preparing to kill their Of
ficers and take possession OF the bar
racks and equipment, afterward put
ting themselves at the service of the
revOlutioniStS.
According to these reports an up
rising of the populace was to follow
and the revolt in southern Russia
would be on in full swing. Just what
has occurred at the garrison is not
known. but there is much apprehen-
sion that something serious is about
to happen.
That the reports of trouble among
the troops are we'll founded is indicat-
ed by the fact that the French consul
has been instructed by his government
In case of necessity to give refuge to
fugitives irrespective of nationality
In these instructions also is seen the
possibility that the Paris government

first dramatized in 1863 under the title
of THE Fenian of '9S." A few years
later a Chicago manager made it over
into "A Noble Outcast" Later it was
staged under the name of Jerry, the
Tramp" and finally Bob Frazier or
some one else dug up the original story

aristocrat, in the second he was hobo,
and in the present version he is an
American gentleman, reduced by mis-
