TBIRTY-TWO LIONS SIGHTED
WHERE ROOSEVELT WILL GO
DESPATCH From British East Africa Tells of the Good Pros
poets For Big Game--.Great Plans For q wei
come TO the Former President.

R. J. Cuninghame, a ucTed English
big game hunter and field naturalist,
who is to be guide to and general
manager of the Roosevelt party, has
been here for some time completing
the preparations for the trip into the
wilderness as well as the shooting
and collecting excursions along the
line of the railroad. He Is selecting
and hiring native p~orters for the ex-
petition. He takes only experienced
men who are known to be courageous
and to possess greatphysical strength.
The "safari" kit-in other words, the
camp equipment for the work in the
opens arriving from London, and
all will be in readiness when Mr..
Roosevelt arrives. The railroad a
used on the line as far as Port Flor
ence by other distinguished visitors
to Uganda, such as the Duke Of Meek
lenburg, the Duke of Connaught, the
Duke of the Abruzzi, Joseph Cham
berlain and Winston Spencer
Churchill, is being refitted for the use
of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Everything points to a successful
stay in British East Africa and Ugan-
da for Mr.. Roosevelt. The natives
are peaceful. game is plentiful and
the people of Mombasa are waiting
eagerly to extend him a welcome.

Mombasa, British East Africa
Mombasa is preparing already to well
come Theodore Roosevelt, and his
coming has given a decided impetus
to the interest in the present hunt
ing season.
The Governor of the protectorate,
Lieutenant Colonel Sir James Hayes
Sadler, is arranging a program OF
welcome and entertainment for the
distinguished visitor, but in spite OF
these arrangements the greeting to
Mr.. Roosevelt will be more to the
great sportsman, whose fame is well
known to local hunters, than to the
former President.
East African sportsmen were high
ly. gratifed to learn that Mr.. Roose-
Welt had refused the offer Of the aut
thorities to grant him a special hunt
ing license that would have permitted
him to kill game to IN unlimited ez-
tent instead of combining himself to
the two elephants, two rhinoceroses,
two hippopotami, ETC., Of the regular
license. Lions and leopards are
classed as vermin and consequently
no license to kill them is required.
The white population Of Mombasa
has heard much Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
personality, and in a joking way fire.
quent references to the "big stick
are being made. =
The rains are late this year, and a
heavy fall is expected. (the regular
time for the "big rains" is from the
end Of January to the end of April).
The prospects for good hunting this
season are considered excellent. Many
of the settlers in the outlying dis
tricts, realizing the increasing inter-
est in the prospects for sport because
of the coming Of Mr.. Roosevelt, are
voluntarily sending in information
about the movements Of game.
According to a dispatch received
here a record group Of lions, number
ing thirty-two, was seen on the Nandi
plateau recently at a point about fifty
miles north of Port Florence (the
Nandi plateau is on the west side Of
the great Rift Valley. Among them
are three huge males. Four families
of girafres have been seen at Maxim
du, 200 miles inland from here on
the line of the Uganda Railroad. and
elephants have been seen at: Elbur-
gon, Ats miles inland on the railroad.

INDICT MAN OF MILLIONS.
Jury of Pittsburg Find True Bill
Against Dallas G. Byers.

Pittsburg, Pa.-As the result Of
the Grand Jury investigation of mu-
nicipal corruption the court ordered
indictments against the following
men:
Dallas C. Byers, millionaire manu-
facturer; F. Griffin, cashier Colum-
bia National Bank; Councilman John
F. Klein, Councilman w. H. Weber,
Councilman Charles Stewart, H. L..
Bolger, hotel proprietor.
The association of Dallas C.. Byers
in the Pittsburg graft expose comes
as a surprise, as his name had not
been mentioned with any publicity.
Klein has already been twice con-
victed on charges growing out of
bribery by bank officials to have
banks designated city repositories.
Klein has also been sentenced to pay
a fine and serve a jail term for con-
tempt. declining to testify before the
Grand Jury.

Rome, Italy.-The General in COM
mand at Messina, who is in charge OF
the removal of the dead, estimates
the number of bodies still awaiting
burial at about 10000. Most Of them
lie several feet deep under the rub
bish from fallen houses.
The work of clearing the debris
from the streets is proceeding very
slowly. Not more than 200 bodies
are removed and buried on any day
when the work Is carried on without
interruption for twelve hours. The
prevailing bad weather is hampering
the work greatly and often stops it,
as the rain changes the debris into
soft mud, which the first sunny day
hardens to the consistency Of cement

clearing it away with shovels. or.
ten a week passes without any bodies
being extracted, and at the rate at
which the work Is being done more
than a year will be required before
all the victims in Messina are buried.
For some unknown reason the
Government wants to keep this a Sc
cret, and an attempt to send the story
by wire some days ago failed, owing
to the activity of the press censor 1t
Is probable that the Government now
realizes it's mistake in recalling too
soon the greater number Of soldiers
and sailors engaged in the work OF
burial.

LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee.
essary for strength and muscular
visor.
The man who worked hard was
supposed to require meat two or
three times a day. Science has found
out differently.
1t Is now a common thing for the
family physician to order less meat,
as In the following letter from a N.
Y. man:
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physi-
clan advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. l tried sew
eral things to take the place of my
usual breakfast of chops, fried pota-
toes. etc., but got no relief until !
tried Grape-Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part Of my meals for two
years, l am now a we'll man. Grape
Nuts benefited my health far more
than the $4,000 worth of medicine
had taken before.
MY wife and children are health
Ter than they had been for years, and
we are a very happy family, largely
due to Grape-Nuts.
I'VE have been so much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be un-
grateful not to acknowledge it."

Proof That He's Ncarsighted
Units an Oyster Bed Waterman,

Trenton, N. 1.-THE Civil Service
Commission received it's first request
for the removal Of an officeholder
here. It came from an oyster grower
of South Jersey who objected to a
Waterman, saying: He isn't a good
Waterman because he is nearsighted.
A nearsighted Waterman cant do the
work. I know he is nearsighted, be-
cause if he wasn't he could see his
own father and brother stealing my

Smiley, who is said to have served

war, says that the hunting grounds
where ex-President Roosevelt plans
to spend his vacation are nothing but
a huge game preserve, and that the
hunter will have a tame time. The
captain claims to have hunted over
this ground many times, and he as
serts that the lions have been shot at
so often they have become gun-shy.
The Duke of Manchester, according
to Captain Smiley, is said to have shot
over the country which Roosevelt
will traverse without bagging any
game. Smiley says he has written to
Roosevelt suggesting that he go to a
portion of Africa where elephants
could be met in droves.

Use Fresh Water in Making Tea.

Some of the people never empty
out the water In a tea kettle when
about to refill 1t. This Is a great
mistake. If the water is to be used
for cooking purposes always start
with a fresh supply Of cold water
when you are about to set the kettle
on the stove. Another hint is this:
Never draw the water for the tea ket-
tie from the hot water faucet, no
matter whether the water in the tank
is heated or not. Water from the hot
water pipes is never so fresh as that
from the cold.
