DAVID HARUMs HAUNTs. Where the Winters are Cold and the
 Snow Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David Ha- rum made famous, man says that he was an habitual coffee thinker, and, al- though he knew 1t was doing him harm was too obstinate to give 1t up, till all at once he went to pieces with ner- vousness and insomnia, loss of appetite, weakness and a generally used-up feel- ing, which practically unftted him for his arduous occupation and kept him on couch at home when his duty did not call him out.
 While in this condition Grape-Nuts food was suggested to me, and, aban- doning coffee, 1 began to use it. AL though 1t was in the middle of winter and the thermometer was often below zero, my entire living for about six weeks of severe exposure was Grape Nuts, with little bread and butter and cup of hot water, till 1 was wise enough to make Postum Food Coffee my table beverage.
 After the first two weeks l began to feel better and during the, whole winter I never lost a trip on my mail route, frequently being on the road seven or eight hours at time. The constant marvel to me was how a person could do the amount of work and endure the fatigue and hardship as I did on so small an amount of food. But 1 found my new rations so perfectly satisfac- | tory that 1 have continued them-using both Postum and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and often they comprise my en- tire meal All my nervousness, irrita- bility and insomnia have disappeared, and healthy, natural sleep has cone back to me.
 But what has been perhaps the greatest surprise to me is the fact that with the benefit to my general health has come a remarkable improvement in my eyesight.
 If good appetite, good digestion, good eyesight, strong nerves and an ac- tive brain are to be desired, l can say from my own experience that Grape Nuts and Postum will supply them" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle 1 Creek, Mich.

MANTELL SCORES AT HIT
In His Portrayal of shakespeare's
 King Lear.

In His Portrayal of Shakespeare s
 King Lear
 No words of praise are strong enougs to fittingly describe the superb acting of the distinguished tragedian, Robert Montell, in Shakespeare's tragedy of King Lear, wLich was presented last evening at the Hyperion theater before a large audience. MT. Mantell was at his best in the third act, during which King Lear goes mad. It is most awe inspiring scene in a woods with storm fiercely raging, the lightning flashing and rumbling of thunder mingled with the mad shrieks of the once stately and commanding King Leah. Mir. Mantell was called before the curtain again and again Lowing his acknowledge ments, but the audience would not be satisfied until he made short speech in which he thanked those present for their appreciation of his efforts
 He also announced that Miss Emily Dodd played Miss Marie Booth Rus sells part as cordelia, because of a sud- den indisposition of Miss Russell Miss McCullum substituted for Miss Dodd. Both did very commendable work in their respective parts considering the very short notice they had in which to prepare.
 Gordon Burly as Earl of Kent car ried off second honors. He showed a careful study of his part and clear understanding of the character he DOT trayed.
 Dhe rest of the cast were all excellent in every respect
 This eveninf MT. Mantell will present King Richard Ill.," and if it will be anywhere nearly as good as last even- ing's performance it is worth anyone time and money to witness 1t.

OCTOBER TERM
 OF COURT

 Docket for Term.


 The October term of icircuit court opened at i0so'clock this morning with Circuit Judge James ,. Steel on the bench. The grand and petit juries were em- paneled and Judge Steel gave his usual forceful charge to the grand jury. He comolimented the county for the excellent work County Judge Pricke.t has ac- complished in repairing and fur nishiug the court house which now presents fine appearance, a great contrast to it's former condi- ton. Judge Steel was especially severe in his charge to tho grand jury to bring into court pisto, "toters' stating that 90 per cent of the homicides in the United States, according to statistics, were directly the result of the violation of the law against car rying pistols. In this connection the judge referred directly to the hardware stores which violate the law against the sale of pistol cartridges. Judge Steel also made a special plea against the violation of the Sunday laws, but warned the grand jury against "strainlng at gnat and swallow ing camel" like recent Polk county grand jury which tried to stop the milk wagons on Sunday.
 J. B. Littlejohn was appointed foreman of the grand jury.
 This afternoon before court opened Hon. Ben Cravens, Demo- cratic candidate for Congress from this district, made short speech in the court room touch ing on the tariff question and urging the Democratic voters to come out to the election on the 9th day of November.
 Attorney J. B. McDonough who Is attending court represent ing the Kansas City Southern railroad, also made few remarks ln behalf of Mir. Cravens. At the close of these speeches the actual work of the court was taken up beginning with the railroad cases on the civil docket.
 The indications are that the present term of court will be a short one. There are only 48 civil and 55 criminal cases on the docket.
