Republicans of the Sixth ward decidsd Iast night that wi President Rocsevelt comes to Omaha next month he will find among other things a large mounted march- ing club bearing his name. With elaborate uniforms, bearing torches, on horses and 100 strong the organization plans to play an important part in the ceremonies of that gala time. This is the plan promulgated at a meeting of 100 men in the Frenzer block last night be carried to completion and they intend it shall. Permanent organization, with participation in all political move- is the idea. This will be the first Roosevelt 1804 club to be formed in Ne- braska and the promoters mean to make it worthy the plomeer position and the prominence resulting therefrom. The Roosevelt Bfxth Ward Republiean club is the name selected. The initial meet- ihg was a rousing affalr. Attendance was beyond expectations and everyone was eager in the new cause. Temporary organization t once effected, J. J. Smith being made an and J. J. Van Wie secretary. A committee was appointed to secure-a hall for the next meeting, and this committee will also look after the work of finding permanent quarters for the club.

In short, everything was put on its feet 4nd In working order before the club ad- journed and Secretary Van Wie will fssue & call for another meeting just as soon as quarters are secured. Enthusiasm in the cause is keen among the participants, and they expect to be in formal “marching order” within a very few weeks. NEW LIFE IN THE CHURCH Work of the Presbyterian Committes in the Evangelistic Fie! ‘WARSAW, Ind., Aug. 16.—The report of Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, secretary of the national committee on evangellstic work which was appointed by the Presbyterian general assembly in Philadelphia over a year ago and which will meet in annual conference at Winona for five days, com- mencing August 23, will show that the work <t the committee has resuited in turning the tide in the Presbyterian church, whose membership, so far as an Increase is con- cerned, had reached a point of stagnation. The committee s composed of twenty l22de tha Preahyterian church and other noted men of that demomination will also participate in the conference. The expense of the preliminary work of the committee has been pald for out of the $26,000 con- tributed by its chairman, John H. Converse, and be bas just advised Secretary Chapman that he has deposited a second $25,000 con- tribution in the bank account of the com- mittee, At the conference plans will be dis- cussed with the object of raising at once $160,000, which the committee finds neces- sary to carry out the work of a national campaign during the coming year. The com- mittee will aim to ralse $100,000 of this amount by finding 100 Presbyterians who will give $1,000 each. Through other chan- nels the committee hoves to raise the bal- ance. Last year's campalgn was centralized in Iowa, Indian Territory, Michigan, Indiana, Colorado, California, Kansas, Nebraska, New Jersey and Montana. From 12,000 to 15,000 accessions to the church can.be di- rectly traced to the work of the evangelistic committee, which represents just about the total increase in membership throughout the United States. Secretary Chapman sald: ‘We are asking no entertainment for our wor or for those who called into the counclls and conferences of the na- tional committee. We propose to send out the best men In the country, even to those churches that canmot bear the expense of their local meetings. It is to an_aggressive and effective campalgn from nning to end, and we hope to bring about & revivi uch as the Prslbr- terlan church in America has not seen in years.

The executors will then draw up regulations governing the eligibility of candidates for scholarships and with re- gard to other matters involved in the be- quest. 8o many complicated questions have been submitted for decision to the executors by governors and colonial premiers that they feel it would be unwise to expedite mat- ters without a thorough knowledge of the opinions of all the various shades of thought and nationality embraced in Mr. Rbodes’ scheme.

Among the telegrams was one from Pres- Ident John Mitchell stating that the suc- cess of the United Mine Workers in the coal strike would depend largely on the support of other unions. The convention at once unanimously by a rising vote or- dered the retary-treasurer to send $2,000 to President Mitchell.

The sudden change from dusky shadows of battleships to one of electric brilllancy was very manifest on the crowd. The smoke- stacks, masts and upper decks were outlined in mellow glowing line, and the flagships in a mellow pale clear light mast high. The brilliant Iights of the merchant ships and pleasure craft added to the splendor of the maritime fete. Simuitaneously hundreds of public and private bulldings ashore were illuminated, while an imposing display of fireworks, varied in color and form, gave fresh interest. After an hour's display the incandescent bulbs on the ships were ex- tinguished and were succeeded by geous display of colored searchly uniformly in yarious directions and ending with rainbow effects, which were heightened by the clouds of steam exhausted from the funnels of the vessels. The searchlights were still gleaming when the royal salute was a midnight. Then all were ex- tinguished save that on the royal yacht, which remained glittering. ENGLAND WELCOMES BOERS Generals Botha, Dewet Delarey Well Received by Officials and the Public. SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 16.—Generals Botha, Dewet and Delarey arrived here this morning and met with a great recep- tion, both from government officials and the pubtic, The Boer generals looked remarkably well and evidently much pleased at the heartiness of the welcome accorded them. Boon after landing they boarded the steam- ship Nigeria, where Joseph Chamberiain, the colonial secretary; Earl Roberts and General Lord Kitchener greeted them. They were also introduced to Mrs. Cham. berlain and Lady Roberts, with whom they chatted for some tline. Official arrangements had been made to permit the generals {0 witness the naval re- view, but after a conference with Abraham Fischer, the former Boer del came from The Hague, it was that they intended to proceed direct to Lon- don in order to reach Holland as speedily as possible. The generals go to Holland to pay their last respects to the memory of General Lucas Meyer, who died of hear: Jisease on August 8. General Dewet, In conversation here, con- firmed the statement that he and his com- panions will visit the United States before returning to South Africa. The Boer generals reached London in the course of the afternoon and were loudly cheered In the streets. Asked why they had declined the government's invitation to witnees the naval review, the visitors remarked that they were “too tired after the long war and needed a rest.” It is still uncertaln whether or not they will return to Cowes to see the king. The scene at the rallroad station on the arrival of the Boers was remarkable. An enormous crowd of people g them a welcome as hearty as given to Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener when they arrived here from South Africa. Shouts of “Good old Dewet “Our friends the enemy” and “Brave soldiers all” were frequently heard amidst salvos of cheers. General Dewet was fairly cornered by a mob and had to be rescued by the police, who by sheer force cleared a lime of re- treat for him. WILL NOT APPOINT GUIDIO Representative 'to Manila Abandoned. ROME, Aug. 16.—It was said today that the vatican's idea of appolnting Monsignor Guidio of the office of Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of state, to be apostolic delegate at Manila has been abandoned be- cause he does not know sufficlent English, and that he will be sent as apostolic dele- gate to Iadia, instead. As to Monsignor Conaty, rector of the Catholic university at Washington, whose possible appointment as apostolic delegate at Manila bas been rumored, the vatican denies that his name has ever been consid- ered in connection with the Manila post wh it is pointed out, the conditions demand a thorough man of business speak- ing fluently English and Spanish, of un- questioned Impartlality and withal persona grata at Washington. It seems probable now that Monsignor Merry Del Val, who was to have repre- resented the pope at King Edward's pro- posed coronation, will be appointed papal nuncio at Vieana, while Monsignor Fal- conlo, the apostolic delegate in Canada, may ultimately be transferred from Canada to Washicgton. NEW GUN FOR THE ARTILLERY Much Lighter and of Longer Range Than Those Now in Use in the Field. BERLIN, .Aug.. 6~The Ubited Btates War. department has bought of Herr Ehr- hardt, & gunmaker of Dusseldorf, the right to rearm the American fleld artillery with Herr Ebrhardt's new plec:. Captain Heary ‘nited States ordnance, de- partment, is mow at Dusseldorf om this business, probably to learn thoroughly how the gun Is constructed. Besides bis large works at Dusseldorf Herr Bhrbardt has a branch at Eisenach. He sold to the British governmeni scvejal hundred pleces after experience In South Africa had demon- strated the Inferfority of the British artil- lery. The gun which the United States has acquired the right to use, is understood to the proposition for an assessment of 5 |8 be an improvement on other models sup- | plied to Great Britain, being lighter and of longer range. The United States ord nance officers have long complained that their fleld guns were less effective than the French and German guns. The United States ordnance department learned some time ago that the Krupps had a new light model and they were invited to exhibit the piece to the United Btates ordnance ex- perts, but the Krupps declined, giving as their reason that if they demonstrated that they had the best plece In the world there Was po certainty that the United States would take it. Herr Krupp recently made a gun of ex- actly the same bore as a certain best Amer- lean type, but considerably lighter and tested it a few days ago, throwing shrapnel effectively 6,000 yards, against the Amer. fcan gun's 2,900 yards. Herr Ehrhardt established s ago & branch at Pittsburg, for the manufacture of carriages and shells, but being unprofit- able it was olosed and he brought the machinery back- to Germany. Captain Borup is remembered amor forelgn ordnance officers as formerly tached to the Paris embassy of the United intimation of the French government that such a step would be desirable, this being due to his unusual success in penetrating military secrets.

Your food either makes or breaks you. That’s easily understood. The way you now feed yourself is RIGHT (FOR YOU) if you are perfectly well. Stick to it. But you can wager your last dollar your food I8 WRONG IF YOU ARE AILING IN ANYX WAY. Perhaps a word from a food expert might help you. APPENDICITIS suddenly sets in after the bowels can no longer stand the abuse of too much starchy food like white bread, potatoes, pasty wheat or oats, sago, tapioca, etc., etc. These are nearly solid starch and starch is required by the body, but when white bread for instance is eaten in quantity, a part of the starch sours, ferments, and makes gas that inflames and irritates the bowels, producing constipation and peritonitis, or appendicitis. Don’t think you can leave off all starchy food, that’s being a fool the other way. Starch helps furnish the energy for the body, PROVIDED that starch is digested and does not ferment in the bowels. A practical knowledge of these facts led to the invention of Grape-Nuts In this food the starch is changed into Grape Sugar in exactly the same way it is in the df- gestive organs of the human body, so when you eat Grape-Nuts you get the needed starchy food, already passedsthrough the first form of digestion, safe and ready for immediate assimilation by nature, it is thereupon quickly taken up by the blood, and carried to the parts of the body for nutrition and strength. No gas, no overtaxing of the digestive organs, no constipation and no danger from either peritonitis or appendicitis. b Remember the wheat and barley in Grape-Nuts are not predigested by any sort of treatment except moisture heat and time to let the diastase in the grains grow and thus change the starch, It’s only in the “know how” and you can have the good of it by using Grape-Nuts. Another and most important thing is that, white flour, in order to be white, must have the most valuable part of the wheat berry thrown out in milling, because the Phosphate of Potash, for rebuilding the gray matter in brain and nerve centers, the lime for teeth and bone, and several other most important elements lie up close to the shell of the wheat berry and in the dark colored part. The white flour miller throws this out. The makers of Grape-Nuts keep these ingredients in. Grape-Nuts are Brainy, Nervy, Healthy people. Does Grape-Nuts food taste good? Try it dry and crisp, just as it comes frdm the package. It’s already cooked and ready to serve with cream or rich milk poured over. delicious recipes found in the free recipe book in each package. Th why steady users of Or try some of the The above is just plain old common sense applied to the subject of food, and the statements are absolute scientific facts that may be relied upon.
