RISING FEARED IN URUGUAY
Armed Revolutionists Gather on From.

London, Oct. pa dispatch to the
Times from Montevideo by way of
Buenos Ayres says:
1.-The situation in Uruguay is grave
The opponents of Jose Battley Or
donez' candidature for the presidency
are massing and revolution is feared
but the outbreak has been delayed
owing to lack of horses.
Nevertheless armed revolutionaries
are gathering on most of the frontiers,
the press is being censored, telegraph
wires have been cut by the revolu
tionaries and the train service is dis
organized. The population is greatly
alarmed, but the government is active
in dispatching troops where they are
most needed. Several arrests of ma
tionalists have been made at Monte
video and elsewhere"

Chicago Strike May Spread.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-With $4,000 of
Chicagos army of garment workers out
on strike the situation here became
serious when the announcement was
made that call was imminent to the
allied trades unions to join in the war
against those shops still in operation.
This would involve not only the gar
ment workers in the non-union shops
but elevator conductors, electricians,
engineers, and others affiliated with
the Federation of Labor.
That more of the garment workers
will 60 out in sympathy with the strik-
ers is the general belief. The condition
of the strikers is daily growing more
desperate and riots are anticipated by
the police.
1t was reported that college girls
and settlement workers were being
enlisted to do picket duty for the
strikers.

RAILROAD LOSES FIRST ROUND
IN STATE SUPREME
COURT.
BACK TAXES DUE FROM ILL. CEN.
Suit Is Result Of Special Message Of
Gov. Deneen, in 1907, Claiming
Road Owed the State Five
to Ten Millions.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 29.-The ILL
nois Central Railroad Company, sued
by the state for back taxes tentative
ly placed at SIS, 100000, was defeated
in a preliminary of the case of deci
sion of the supreme court. THE eff.
feet of the decision is to send the case
back to the circuit court of La Sale
county for hearing on it's merits.
The suit was filed in 1907, following
a message of Governor Deneen to the
legislature, in which it was asserted
the railroad had so manipulated it's &C
counts as to credit millions of it's
earnings to lines no. chartered in ILL
nois and hence not subject to the Z
per cent tax. An appropriation was
made by the legislature to defray the
expenses of an accounting.
This accounting swelled the amount
which the governor had estimated to
be due the state fro m$5,000,000 to
$15,000,000.
The history of the suit really dates
back to 1851, when the state granted
a special charter to the road which
provided in consideration of land
grant of 100000 acres that the COM
pany should pay annually 5 per cent
of it's gross receipts plus a property
tax of three-fourths of 1 per cent,
which should at least be equal to Z
per cent of the gross earnings on the
mileage in Illinois.
It is alleged the railroad has failed
to give the state a proper accounting
since 1877. The total amount said to
have been hidden is placed at $214,-
100000, Z per cent of which is nearly
$15,O00,000.

with such feeling as to my duty
l take great pleasure in saying to tho
public that in my own experience and

found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will

ness and convalescence.
1T Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there ia
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hui
