Richard Van Schura, who SIX
months ago left Bohemia and came to
this country, spent the day behind

has been in Mankato for several days
and has attracted attention by his
light cOlOred trousers, which are said
TO be Of the most expensive make.
Since arriving in MankatO he has
been upsetting all business rules and
treading upon American traditions OF
paying for what you buy.
Ate the Big Feed.
The thing that caused Van Schura's
arrest this morning was the fact
that he went into the Franklin res
taurant and ordered and ate a big
breakfast, and then walked out with
out stopping 10 pay for il. 1t is
days at the Stahl House and then
left unceremoniously without ilQui-
dating his bill. He wa sin a bar
room n day or so ago and called for
cigars, and when the bartender SHOW

and walked out before the man be-
hind the bar had time to think.
Pursued Tactics Elsewhere.
IL appears that Van Schura ar
rived ut Waseca from Iowa, and pur-
sued the same tactics there, and that
the authorities there purchased him
Il ticket 10 New Ulm. He went to
the Dakota House, acted like a Ger
man noblcman, and after staying ten
days left without paying his bill.
Sheriff julius got hold of him and he
was sentenced to serve ten days in
the county Jail. The Justice thought
thar he had lived so well n the Da-
kota House that he sentenced the fell

Left Grips at City Hotel.
Van Schura has two grips at the
City hotel, and these contain his dis
charge from the Austrian army in
1896 after FIVE years faithful service,

MEDICINAL VALUE OF
FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT

Research proves that the Spaniards
brought the grapefruit or pomelo to
Florida with the Seville orange and the
lime when they sought here the Foun-
tain of Youth. But its popularity was
nearly four hundred years in getting
established. Americans are too fond OF
sweets to impetuously embrace even
such delightfully."- toned tartness and
suggestion of bitterness as are combined
in the pomelo. Even when the old sea-
captain, named Shaddock. (or Chaddock,
Shaddoc and Chadec) brought from the
Orient to the West Indies first cousin
to the grapefruit to reinforce its repu-
tation, it took time and fashions de-
cree to give them the assured position
thew now occupy in high society.
While ShaddOck was weighted with
many and diverse spellings, the pomelo
has suffered in like strain. 1t was

COL. BRYAN'S TOAST
TO PRESIDENT TAFT

The following are Mr.. Bryan's re-
marks proposing the health of the
president on the occasion of Mr.. Tafts
visit to Lincoln
Lincoln is honored today by the
presence of the highest official in the
world The presidents position is
greater than a kings. His authority
is more vast than any civilized people
would entrust to hereditary ruler,
and he holds the place not by accident
of birth but by the suffrages of his
countrymen. Though in campaigns he
is leader of a party, he is after election,
the chief executive of nation, and his
arm Yields the strength of ninety mil
lions of people. Lifted by voters to
this position of supreme command,
he becomes the most exalted of our
public servants. 1t is fitting that we,
group of the sovereigns whom he
serves, should pay our respects to him
and to the office which he holds. ask
you to rise, fill your glasses with the
beverage upon which the Almighty has
set the seal of his approval and drink to
the health of President Taft, and may
God give him wisdom to discharge the
onerous duties imposed upon him."

1ONEW LOCOMOTIVES
FOR THE EAST COAST

Of the most modern type known in
engineering construction, ten monster
locomotives have arrived for the Flor
ida East Coast Railway for the COM
ing winter season and make up the full
fifteen ordered last winter for use this
season. The first five were received
last spring. The new ones are of the
very latest type and are the largest
locomotives ever seen in Florida.
The new locomotives are numbered
from SO to 102. Five of them are
equipped with superheaters. a new de-
vice which promotes the efficiency OF
the locomotive by providing more
power with less fuel. These are said
to be several tons heavier than the
Others.
One of the new locomotives, No. SO,
has already been pressed into service.
The Florida East Coast Railway is
planning to make the through trains
all steel this year although no official
announcement has been made of the
fact yet, The through trains have
been steel in the past. all Pullman and
dining cars being of that construction,
but this year baggage, mail and all OF
the cars on these trains will be of the
latest type.
Nothing whatever is being left un.
done to make the service the best to be
found anywhere and it will be absolute
ly second to none this season,

In the October issue of Table Talk,
Mr.. Riley M. Fletcher Berry, author of
Fruit Receipts, and recognized authori.
ty on the subject says:
THE grapefruit must be perfectly
ripe. Then its juice is indeed a stimu-
liant to the liver and protector to the
system in general in its effect upon the
blood, since it is "anta- scorbutic. 4"
The membrane and rind are considered
of value as possessing a bitter principle
partaking of the character of chine ira,
which principle is contained in the mar
malades made from it when not soaked
out and poured away. In the uncooked
fruit it's best value and most delicious
flavor are secured when it has hung up
on the trees until at least March. And
Floridians think it improved with each
day which April adds. Northerners
often fail to appreciate this fact and
thus do not demand it at its proper sea-
son. Giving high prices for the early
ones, by this mistaken judgme Vt, they
get it green instead of fully matured
in the spring just when it would do the
most good to Winter-clogged systems.
