PUTS THE "GIMGER" IN The Kind of Food Used by Athletes.

A former college athlete one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His experi- ence with a change in food Is interest," ing.
 While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily jogs' became a task, until after I was put on Grape Nuts food for two meals day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and was full of energy.
 T trained in theemile and the half mile runs Chose events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily Jogs,' which before had been such task. were clipped off with ease I won both events.
 "The Grape Nuts food put me in per feet condition and gave me my gin ger Not only was my physical eondi- tion made perfect, and my weight in- creased. but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time for merlv required. Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nuts for they have learned its value but. think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help some one to learn how the best results can be ob- tained"
 There's a reason for the effect of Grape Nuts food on the human body and brain. The certain elements in wheat and barley are selected with spe- cial reference to their power for re- building the brain and nerve centers. The product Is then carefully and scien- tihcally prepared so as to make 1t easy of digestion. The physical and mental results are so apparent after two or three weeks use as to produce a profound impression. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's a reason"

IS ENDORSED
NEHRAsxA,s REPUHLxcAN C0NvEN- TI0N FAvORs WAR SECRETARY,
There Was Some Reluctance to the Taft Endorsement as Many Ne- bxaska Republicans strcng-
 ly Favored Roosevelt.

Lincoin, Neb., Sept. 24.-Secretary Taft was today endorsed for the presi- dency by the Republican State Conven- tion. Tn the report oS the committee on Resolutions. Secretary Taft was en- dorsed as follows:
 We recognize in the Hon. William H. Taft. of Ohio, man whose per- sonal character and whose long public service marks him as pro-eminentiy the man under whose leadership these poli- cies may be perpetuated and the Re- publican party may again merit and re- ceive the approval of the national eiec- torate"
 There was some reluctance to the Taft endorsement as many Nebraska Republicans strongly favored Roosevelt for another term.
 An unqualified endorsement of Presi- dent Roosevelts administration Is giv- en in the Republican platform. A continuation of his policy is iin- sisted on in the reference to Secretary Taft. The platform declares the Re- publican party of the state committed railroad regulation laws which recent ly have been fnaugurated.
 All the political parties represented on the primary ballot held their State conventions here today. Of the five parties, the Republicans. Demoerats and Popuiists gathered in considerable numbers. The prohibitionists held no convention and the socialists had one delegate who certified to platform and organization with the Secretary of State.
 The feature of the Democratic con- vention was the speech of William J. Bryan.
 The Democratic platform opens with commendation of William T. Bryan. It opposes the capitalization idea and de- clares for the election of United states Senators by direct vote. Immediate re- vision of the tariff Is urged and an in come tax favored as is also the vigor- ous enforcement of the criminal law against trusts and trust magnates." :"

HARAHAN SAYS
 FISH IS A LIAR
tCentinuea from Page one. )

Peabody withdrew his motion, all prox- les which could be controlled were sub- sequently delivered to you and you were relied on to carry out the agree- ment. We feel warranted in saying that but for the agreement, proxy committee would have been appointed by the Board which would have ob- tained a majority of proxies and you would have been in considerable mil nority.
 Shortly before the annual meeting, Messrs. Auchincloss, Goeiet, Harahan, Hartman, Luttgen, Peabody and Van- derbilt. a majority of the directors. mo- tined you in writing of the selection of Mir. Henry M. De Forest as successor to Mir .s-Grinne1l, in strict conformity with the agreement, and requested that the proxies in your hands be cast for him, as agreed by you, which you re- fused absolutely to do. and instead you used the proxies to elect your personal individual nominee. You were not sat- @fied to decline to vote for Mr. De Forest on the ground that no selection had actually been agreed on and so leave a vacancy to be filled by the ate the proxies and convert them to your own personal purposes"
 Bad Faith Charged.
 The letter then goes on to charge Mir, Fish with further bad faith in his handling of the proxies. asserting that he attempted to make himself the sole judge of the personnel of the new di- rectory. whereas the entire intention of the agreement was to substitute the judgment of q majority of the direc- tors."
 This incident;'t says the letter. 'is the climax of a series of events during the past few years, showing an inabil- ity on your part to distinguish between the powers and duties of the President and the Board of Directors of a corpo- ration.
 .The situation is solely of your own creating but in view of what has taken place, we are convinced that you have so seriously impaired your usefulness as an officer of the company as to com pei us to refuse to vote in favor of your reelection"
 The letter was signed by John N. Auchlincloss, J. J. Astor. Robert w. Goelet E. H. Hartman, J. T. Hara- han, W. Luttgen. Charles A. Peabody and Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Mobile, Sept. 24.--(Speciai. l--Mobile Rivers mucfy waters claimed another victim this morning. Scarcely. twenty four hours after the dead body of First Mate Vtrgie or the schooner Ai- exander Black. had been taken from the riverf iiltle Vernon Pruitt. the 10- year-old son of Ed Pruitt. chief en- ginser of the banana elevators. was
 The little fellow had come down to the Mobile and Ohio wharf, toa bring his fathers breakfast and was wait ing until Mir. Pruitt could finish his work. to go home with him. X
 About 8:so o'clock cry arose that sailor was overheard the steamship Fort Morgan, lying at the fruit wharf, and those who happened to be near the man in the water. Little Vernon. presumably. ran with the others to the edge In the same manner. While the attention of the crowd was drawn 10 balance and fell down between the big steamships side and the wharf. A splash attracted the attention of several bystanders and they ran to the when he should rise. But the body went down and down. disappearing from sight.
 Eagerly the watchers waited for it to appear again, but he never came to
 After the boy had been under water for about twenty minutes, Henry Scar cliff succeeded in hooking the clothes of the. boy with a long boathook and drew him out on the wharf. Willing hands bore him into the office of Mur- ray and Peppers, nearby, where every effort was made to resuscltate the life- less bodyL pr. Hirshfield was sum moned and directed the efforts of the workers, which were continued for two hours, but the lad never gave any signs of life
 Hope was finally given up. the grief- stricken father himself telling those who were working over the child that 1t was useless to try further to bring back life to the little body. The un- dertaking firm of Berouion and Sands was then notifed and the body taken in charge by them and removed to their pariors.
 The Norwegian sailor. whose falling off the Fort Morgan caused the excite- ment during which the Pruitt boy fell overheard unnoticed. got out withodt suffering any injury. further than a good bath. He was leaning over the edge of the steamship when 1t lurched suddenly. throwing the man off his the wharf. He soon scrambled out and went back aboard his vessel.
 Ed Fruit. the father of the drowned lad, is in charge of the electric banana goes of fruit vessels. He lives on Charlest0n Street, Between Cedar and Warren Streets. He was almost through with his work at the eleva- tors for the morning and gave the boy permission to wait and go home with him. The grief of the strong man at the sudden taking off of his little. boy. was pitiful, and the crowd ing bystanders, cur4ously peering in back in awe at the sight of the broad heaving shoulders and the tears trick ling dowE the bronzed cheek.

"Just Out of College" at Montgomery
 George Ade cut out bargain piece when he tailored Just Out of College. In the parlance of the rude things 1t was a "cone back" show, with Ade's name to bring 1t back--into public es- teem. It was just dollars worth and when the third deck gods of Gotham stamped their second rate brand on it, four bits were sacrificed Tor eacn tious youngsters and a few old heads, to steady the dnffe1d, were signed ana sent on the road.
 In this piece Ade may not nave de- teriorated, but he has hackslid. They rushed at him with the long green and evil so fast that he was crowded into a corner and fought his way out with weapons of old college characteriza- of d plot that flashed through his yer satiie brain. It had all of the 1ust out of college" amateurtshness: This appeared to the populace, which as sembled. despite the warm evening; Ill bulk, as not altogether premeditated.
 The plot was overlooked In the hurry to i'll the bill, and beyond starting in a pickle factory there were rev nar monising situations: Everybody haa @ below the standard set in his former works, but the price was such that ad- mirers of the great slang slinger went anyway--just to hear few truisms In slang. <,
 The caste would mean little to the wisest theatrical historian. Lester Crawford was individual In his charac- ferizatfon of a worldly wise youth Just Out of College" He is apparently a youngster with much in him if he doesn't keep the pressure too high and overdo, which is such an Neasy matter In these rrothy nothings.i William Henderson was amusing and George Denton was "a realistic "E. z.

FOR REPEAL OF LAWS.
PETITION IS CIRCULATED IN BAR
 BOUR COUNTY.
R. H. Croswell, . Travelfng saIesman, Takes Initiative And Many Men Are Giylng Their Influence
 To Movement

Eufaula. June 7.-(Special)--R. H. CroswelL Jr. a well known traveling man. is circulating a petition among the citizens of this and the Northern section of the State that is gaining the signatures of every man to whom 1t has been shown.
 The paper is being gotten up for the purpose of being handed the Legisla- ture at it's session in July, and prays that body to repeal certain acts passed and now pending. The petition prays to alter and amend or repeal all laws. such as have a tendency either to in crease the burden of taxation upon the people of the State. or retard in any respect the onward march of material prosperity. The petition aims at the following laws:
 First The license tax upon cigars and tobacco. which is claimed to be a burden upon the small merchants.
 Second. The expense of the added taxation upon the insurance companies which is claimed to be an indirect tax upon the people. in that it will in crease the premiums, and therefore burden the policyholders instead of the companies.
 Third A doubt of the feasibility of the plan embodied in the law creating the State Tax Commission. claiming that the expense of the machinery of the same is an added and unnecessary burden to the people of the several counties.
 Fourth. To repeal the bill compell- ing insurance companies to invest the proposed amount in the State, claim ing that 1t would be impossible, and would drive them from the State, and that the State would then lose the rev. enue it Is now receiving from these companies, and the residents of the State would be deprived of insuring in these safe and old line companies,
 Fifth. That the money of the na- tional and State banks. and that of private individuals, Is rarely availa- ble for long term loans. on farming lands and city realty. and that for eign money alone can fill demands of this character. thereby saving the cit izens their homes. who would other wise be homeless
 The petition deplores the patent ef- feet of the tax Legislation upon for eign loan companies MT. Croswell feels sure he will gain the signature of every man who is requested to sign it, and before the converting of the Legislature will be able to convince that body that the passage of such measures Is against the wishes of every thoughtful citizen of the State.
