COrtelyou Doesn't Know What to Do
About jamestown.


The jamestown exposition has be-
come an elephant on Secretary Cortel-
you's hands. The exposition owes the
government about 100000. Under
the terms Of the act by which the loan
of $1,000,000 was made to the exposi-
ton the government has lien upon
the gate receipts. From month to
month. despite the bad prospects, Sec
retary Cortelyou has deferred exercis-
ing the governments right to take
charge Of the gate receipts. which
meant to take charge of the exposition
and run 1t to the close.
Mr.. Cortelyou and his assistant sec
rotary, ]. H. Edwards, who has been
in charge of the whole matter for him,
failed to see where the government
would come out ahead of the game by
becoming the general manager of tho
exposition. If the affair was failure
the government would be blamed. Th ,
point has been reached, however.
when the government must soon take
some definite action.

A MYSTERY CLEARED.
Uody of Missing brooklyn Million
aire Found in Montana Cave.

After a little more than a year the
mystery surrounding the disappearance of
Abraham Gill; q millionaire Brooklynite,
was cleared the other day when his rela
tives in New York City received a dis
patch from Sandusky, Mont, that his
remains had been found in a cave near
the ranch which he had sold the day he
disappeared. The body lay in D heap of
ashes and the belief is that he was robbed
BY bandits, who bound him and then toss
ed him upon pile of faggots to which
they applied the torch.
Gill, who was a young man. was a
graduate of the Polytehcnic Institute and
a member of many exclusive clubs. At
ter graduation he went to Montana, where
he purchased a ranch to raise live stock.
In 1906 Gill returned to Brooklyn, and
after arranging for beginning life anew
in New York, he returned to his ranch
and sold out to one George Goblin. Be
fore doing so, however, as United States
marshal he succeeded in breaking up the
most dangerous gang of thugs in Mon
sana. This led the authorities to believe
that the gang had killed him.
The day of the sale Gill rode at night
to the home Of a friend, several miles
from the ranch, to have the deed legally
registered This accomplished, he and
Goblin, who is said to be a member Of the
gang Gill had exterminated, started back
to the ranch with the money he had re-
ceived from Goblin. He never again was
seen alive. The day after Gill disappear
ed his horse was found near the point
where his master had disappeared from
view. 1t was within 100 feet of the cave
where the charred bones of the deputy
were found.

CAN'T MEET VESTS NEEDS.
Railroads Are Unable to Handle the
Traffic.


That it will be useless to attempt
to develop the west with inadequate
railroad facilities was the assertion OF
transportation officials at a meeting
in Chicago. The conference was at
tended by general passenger agent.
of western roads and the question CIV
en- consideration was the low home.
seekers rates during the coming win
ter and spring. 1t had been proposed
that for the sake of developing the
trans-Missouri country the usual low
round trip farcss be authorized, which
| rates have had the effect of helping
to settle great districts during the
past few years.
After thorough discussion it was
the consensus of opinion that it would
and attempt to populate the western
states when the facilities of the trans
portation companies are entirely inad-
equate to handle present business
1t was a frank confession on the
part of the railroad men of the deplor-
able condition Of the transportation
lines, showing that while the west
needs people the railroads are not in
position to handle the traffic. Thus
it is evidenced that the trans Missouri
country must suffer until the railways
build more tracks and secure addition
al equipment.
The managers Of one or two of the
railroads at the conference, however,
said they were willing to take chances
on facilities and go ahead with low
homeseekers' rates during the next
six months and it is likely the will Of
these will prevail.

EASY FOOD


Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.
Almost everyone likes cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking cereals
results in pasty mass that is hard to
digest, and if not properly digested, the
raw mass goes down into the intestinal
tract where gas is generated and trou-
bic follows
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body well. while,
poor food, or even food of good quality
that is poorly prepared and not digest
ed, is sure to bring on some kind of,
disease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
is Grape Nuts, made from wheat and,
barley, and cooked thoroughly at tho
factory, some - to 16 hours being con-
sumed in the different processes of prep
aratiOn. The food, therefore, is ready
for instant service and the starch has
been changed to a form of Sugar. so
that it is pre-digested and ready for
almost immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from Indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food that
was not suitable to her powers of di-
gestion. She says:
II began using Grape-Nuts, and
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
