THREE REASONS
Each With Two Legs and Ten Fingers.

A Boston woman who is a fond
mother writes an amusing article about
her experience feeding her boys.

lively, are three of our reasons for
using and recommending the food,

not long before truly wonderful
change manifested itself in the child's
face and body. The results were re-
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
Both husband and I use Grape-Nuts
every day and keep strong and well
and have three of the finest, healthiest
boys you can find in days march,
the children's stomachs with candy and
cake give the youngsters a handful OF
Grape-Nuts when they are begging for
something in the way Of sweets. The
result is soon shown in greatly in
creased health, strength and mental ac-
tivity.

She Discovered Hiding Place OF Con-
federate General Morgan.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Mrs. Sarah T.
Thompson, the only woman carried on
the rolls of the pension office as a SOL
der of the Union army, died here yes
terday and the attorneys in behalf OF
her four surviving children have nIod
for damages.
They allege that Mrs. Thompson died
of injuries received last April, when
struck by a car belonging to the de-
Cotton, she having married twice, was
recognized as a soldier largely because
of the services she rendered during the
latter part of the civil war by discov-

troops the hiding place Of John Morgan.

and terrorized Ohio. He was killed
trying to escape from prison after his
capture.

Easily Imagined

Imagine, if you please. a time when
every family can have its own flying
machine means of getting out for
day with as much safety as now
attends the automobile or the old
family horse Wouldn't such a thing
add a value to the world? Would it
not enhance the pleasure of living to
be able to take the wife and babies
out for a spin in the sky, where the
air is pure, where all of the earth is
spread out before one. even as it is
spread before the eye of the eagle?
Would it not add to the sum total of
human happiness to take to the clouds
as do the birds. and to have to con-
sirer neither the beaten highways nor
the rock barriers of the mountain
ranges? Certainly it would. And just
as certainly such a time is rapidly
dawning for the human race-Spring-

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
ORDERS DISSOLUTION OF BIG
COAL OIL MERGER HEADED
BY ROCKEFELLER.

st. Paul, Nov 20.-In an opinion
written by Circuit Judge W. H. San
born of this city and filed in St.
Louis and St. Paul today, the United
States circuit court for the district
of Missouri held that the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey was an
illegal corporation and was ordered
that it be dissolved.
The case was argued by Frank B.
kellogg of st. Paul and Charles b.
Morrison of Chicago for the United
States and John G. Milburn of Buff
falo, n. Y, David T. Watson, Pitts
burg. Moritz Rosenthal of Chicago
and John G. Johnson of Philadelphia

Standard Oil company of New Jersey
and about seventy corporations from
maintaining a combination and con-
spiracy in the restraint of trade to
monopolize the interstate and inter-
national commerce and the decree
grants the injunction sought by the
government The case is one of the
most notable in the history of the ma
tional government on account of the
important legal questions and vase H.
nancial interests involved. The evil
dence filled twenty-one volumes and
occupied more than ten Thousand
printed pages. The decree enjoins
the seven individual defendants, the
Standard Oil companq and its SUBJ
sidiary corporations from continuing
or carrying into effect the illegal
combination they have formed, and
from entering into any like combina-
tion or conspiracy. the effect of which
will be to the restrain Of interstate
commerce in petroleum or its prod
ucts or to prolong the unlawful mon
opoly of such commerce obtained by
defendants as stated in the decree
and they are forbidden from engag-
ing or continuing in interstate COM
merce until they discontinue their
illegal combination The decree takes
effect thirty days from the date of
its filing unless suspended by an ap-
peal to the supreme court of the
United States
The government thus wins it's suit

LAST DAY FOR TAX
PAYING
HEAVY PENALTY IMPOSED ON
TAXPAYERS WHO DO NOT
THE BOOKS BY NOV. 80.

County Treasurer Battles stated to-
day that of the $290,0O0 due in taxes
for 1908 all but about 25 per cent
has been collected in. This is con-
sidered a good showing. Those ow-
ing the rs per cent, however, must
pay up before November 80 or after
that date what is due becomes de-
linquent and draws interest at the
rate of 5 per cent per annum. The
taxes are coming in very fast now
and it is thought that by the end of
the month there will be but few
delinQuentS on the books.
Between March Is and June l.
property owners by paying half their
taxes can extend the time for the
payment of the remainder until No
vember 80; but they must liquidate
either half or all prior to June l..
Those that made no payments at all
prior to June l became delinquent on
that date, from which time the Is
per cent interest penalty became ef-
fective on their taxes. Those that
settled prior to June l for half their
assessments now have until Novem-
Der 80 to pay the balance.

EN- OUT OF ILLINOIS COAL
WEEK-WALLED IN.

Cherry, Ill.,, Nov. 20.-Forty men
were found alive in the ST. Paul mine,
according to a report sent to the sur
face this afternoon. The men were
reached after wall of debris was
broken down. The survivors were
Immediately rushed to the hoisting
shaft and stimulants administered.
One of the men, after being brought
to sunlight, after the seven days en-
tom mbment, was only able to mutter
incoherently. His face was black
with smoke and he was slightly
scorched. 1t appears that the men,
walled themselves in.
One of the rescuers has reported
that he believes $50 men are alive
in the mine.
At 2:30 the rescuers came to the
surface and reported that afresh fire
had temporarily cut off rescue work.
A call for fresh volunteers was is
sued and Immediately a score of men
entered the shaft. 1t is believed the
fire will be extinguished shortly.
The fight against death was led by
Joseph Crescini, one of the twom en-
brought up in the cage. He reported
between 80 and 40 alive in the south
wing. In the darkness where they
waited for seven agonizing days suf-
fering the pangs of hunger and sus-
pense, the men lost track of time,
and thought today Sunday. Nour-
ishment was administered in the form
of diluted milk. The next trip the
cage brought up seven more smiling
men. They were weak from hunger
but showed no other signs of dis.
tress. A wonderful scene followed
the announcement that some OF the
miners were being brought up alive.
Under the leadership of Crescini
such food as remained in the dinner
pals of the assembled men was put
into short rations. In this and sub
sequent measures taken to safeguard
the entombed men an Englishman

face, without recognizing him.

COMP ANY READY
To BUILD
TION AND SMELLING CONCERN
SEEKING FINAL RIGHT OF WAY
INTO CHELAN COUNTY.

Bellingham, Nov. 20.-The Thun-
der Creek Transportation & Smelling
company has almost completed its ar
rangements for beginning construc-
tion on a railroad system which will
have either Bellingham or Anacortes
as one terminal and the other On the
east side of the Cascade mountains.
From Marblemount, up the Cas-
cade river and across Cascade pass,
the survey has been completed and it
is known that very little of the right
of way remains yet to be obtained.
Many surveys have been made dur
ing the last summer, but one up the
north bank of the Cascade river has
been settled upon as the most desir-
able. The line will first reach from
Marblemount across Cascade pass.
The company is ostensibly financed
from Tacoma. It's officers are resi-
dents of Tacoma and it is known that
all it's business is done through Ia
coma bank The officers are: A. M.
Richards, president and treasurer;
George Senior, vice president; F. S.
Blattner, general counsel; c. e. Phoe-
nix, chief engineer; w. w. Shenk,
secretary.
Actual construction is now held up
by the work of obtaining through
franchises along the accepted line of
survey Most of this is now In the
banks of the Thunder Creek Trans
portation & Smelling company. The
right of way now sought is being held
back by legal formalities. The OFF,
GERS OF the road are giving their time
and energy to putting the line into
operation as soon as possible.
