 A Kans. school teacher tells an in. teresting experience. She sayS:
 About two years ago was extreme ly miserable from a nervousness that had been coming on for some time. Any sudden noise was actually painful to me and my nights were made miserable by horrible nightmare.
 T was losing flesh all the time and at last was obliged to give up the school I was teaching and so home.
 Mother put me to bed and sent for the doctor. I was so nervous the cot ton sheets gave me chill and they put me in woolens. The medicine I took neighbor suggested that Grape Nuts might be good for me to eat I had never heard Of this food, but the name sounded good so I decided to try 1t.

MOBILE SCHOOL BOARD TO MEET
 TOaE0RR0w.
May Raise Point That County is Ex- empt From Recent Statutes
 and Reject the New Text Books.

Mobile, July s.--(speciaL)- )--Much in- terest attaches to a meeting or me Board of School Commissioners to be held here Wednesday morning. largely because this will be the time for the annual election of school teachers.
 In view of the fact that there is to be q cut in salaries 1t Is thought that some of the teachers of last year will fail to ask to be reinstated and that on this account there will be number of vacancies te nlL
 It has already been intimated that three of the male teachers at the acad+ emy will not again ask for their posi- tions.
 Other matters to come up for consid- sration at the coming meeting include the question of taking a school census law Mobile Is compelled to adopt the books of the State Text Book Commis- sion.
 On this latter question pr. W. H. Sledge, President of the School Board, has already declared himself as being most emphatically against the propo- sition, and Superintendent Murphy, al- though a member of the Text Book Commission. Is personally opposed to the sweeping changes it is proposed to have made.
 The discussion of wednesday morn- ing will hang snpon the question as to whether the text book and census pro- visions of the code are not nullined by the provision in the Constitution of the State which speciAeaily sets forth in Section a7o that the provisions of the article establishing, organizing and maintaining . system of public schools shall apply to Mobile County. only so far as to authorize and require the au- thorities to draw the county's prcporr tion of the stats funds.
 A number of legal authorities are to be consulted on this question.

 bert Robinson fs Taken Inte custedy---BIacl< Angcred at His Wife.

Mobile. July s.--(spsoial. )--"send policemen to my house at once. There Is q nigger here who threatens to blow us all up with dynamite tonight,
 This was the startling message Po- lice Sergeant Dorlon received over the telephone between 8 and o'clock to- night from J. c. Hill of Tennessee and Michigan Avenues.
 The Sergeant lost no time in dis patching Policemen Foltz and Burch to the scene. Within an hour they re- turned bringing with trne q negro, AL bert Robinson, and q stick of dynamite nearly foot long with fuse and cap already attached.
 It appears the negro's wife is em- pioyed by Mrs. Hill and there has been considerable Quarreling between the two negroes, It got so bad that Mr. |. Hill ordered Robinson to stay away from the house. He came tonight and demanded admittance. When this was refused he promised to blow up MT. Hills house.
 When the police arrived they found Mir. Hill on the porch taking to the negro who stood with his hands behind him. As soon as the latter caught sight of the police he dropped some thing from his hands and ran. This proved to be the stick of dynamite bur fortunately it fell on soft earth.
 The negro was speedily captured. He had secured the dynamite from a near by tool house where they are preparing to blast tomorrow.

Where A Little Willie Days?
 Mobile Police to SoLDe Mystery

his son had not been heard of. and when the hour for retiring arrived the family became much alarmed. report ing the matter to the police.
 1t is said that the boy was seen at the Monroe Park pier late Saturday af- ternoon and still another report has 1t that he was seen by two negroes rid- ing in a buggy with q man of dark complexion. Neither of these two sto- ries can be verified. however.
 MT. Daws thinks 1t hardly possible that his son could pave fallen on the barge on which he took his lunch with. out his knowledge. yet he fears that this is just what may have happened, He places great reliance in the report that the boy was seen at Monroe Park and at his instance deputy sheriffs are keeping a close watch on the eypsy camps below the park.
 In connection with. the disappearance of the Daws boy there comes rurnor that another boy was kept away from his home for three weeks by the eyp- sies The police are investigating this story but thus far have been unable to learn the name of this boy.

 Mobile, July s.--(speciaL) )--After a long and unsuccessful chase, Deputy sneriffs Paul cazaiss and Giills re- turned to the jail at s:so o'clock this morning and reported that James Ma son, a negro, had succeeded in making his escape into Mississippi.
 Mason is wanted on the charge of shooting his wife, Ida, in the College Hin negro church last evening. The shooting occurred at s:S0 o'clock. but was not reported to the sherin's oflce until o'clock this morning. hence the reason Mason made good his escape.
 The affray caused a panic in the ting out of range of Mason's pistol there were a number Of negro women who were slightly injured.
 It appears tha Mason and his wife have not been on good terms for some time. and 1t is said by the sheritf's deputies that there waS a cutting af- fray ct the house week ago Mason had been away since that time. He re- turned last evening, and when he followed her to the church.
 When he entered the church, he saw his wife. sitting in a seat within three rows of the pulpit. walking straight up the aisle, he approached his wife. and, drawing his pistol, shot her with out saying a single word to her. Two shots were fired. the first taking sfkect in the wounan's arm and the other en- tering her back and coming out through her chest.
 As the woman fell to the floor, Ma son fled from the church uninterrupted. all the other negroes having fallen back at the sight of his gun. The woman was taken to her home and q doctor summoned. It is said that she cannot live.

 According to their story, they saw the two negroes they later arrested chasing q lot of chickens that were in the woods.
