GRAPE-NUTS. FOOD SAVES. Doctor Enew the Value of Grape- Nuts. A breakfast food that a baby can handle %= a pretty safe proposition for grown peo- le with weak stomachs. Dr. Wm. Hall, a street, Boston, has tried Grape- food in his own case, as a result of “I have been relieved distressing form of indigestion sed by the non-assimilation of starchy since making Grape-Nuts a f my dletary scale I have had no sble and find my Dower of concentra- tion markedly increased. “I have frequently prescribed Grape Nuts food in my practice, with most ex and cellent results.

Kelly's h en in that district are knifing J. H. Nelson, the regular Republican nomi- | nee, and exerting every effort to elect J. J. O'Connell, Rainey’s candidate origin- |ally and now the Rainey-Kelly-Herrin andidate. 1‘ This bit of characteristic political trea- | son on Kelly's part has been pretty well understood for some time among Nelson's friends in his district.

Abe came along more leisurely and saw the two bosses join their two friends, Buckley and O’Connell. If any one imagines there was nct something doing in the vicinity of the St. Geor stables that day he shows a confldence fi Kelly and Rainey that the men who know them best do not possess. “As we went on into Norman's Ruef sald, ‘Well, did you ever see a prettier bunch than that?" I replled: ‘It is just what was to be expected. Kelly never could keep anything from Rainey, any- way.’ Luclus Solomons came in a few moments later, and when we told him what we had seen he said, ‘That is what we have to expect from men like Kelly.' " J. H. Nelson, the Republican nomipee whom Kelly and his henchman Buckley are willing' and anxious to defeat, is a capable man, with a_good record. The | fact that Kelly and Rainey are leagued to defeat him ought to cause self-respect- ing Republicans and Democrats to rally to_ his support, and the indications are strong that they will do so and will re- buke the meddl "f bosses by the defeat of O'Connell, who Is be' no means an inno- cent victim of their blighting friendliness.

MARSEILLES, Oct. 31.—The Kruger re- ception committee has issued an invita- tion to the population to participate in the reception to President Kruger, but to “ab- gtain from hostile actions or words to- ward a nation friendly to France.” HAMBURG, Oct. 31.—The provincial court has laid an embargo upon bar gold to the value of 2,500,000 marks which ar- rived at Cuxhaven to-day on the Im?erlcl Mail steamer Bundesrath from Delagoa Bey. This step was taken, it iz alleged, | companiea by for the purpose of relmbursing insurance | companies here for gold withheld by the Transvaal Government during the war. The Hamburgische Boersen Halle, how- ever, denies a rumor that the gold was shipped by Mr. Kruger. EUREEKA’S GREETING TO GAGE. Demonstration in Honor of the Exec- utive’s Visit. EUREKA, Oct. 31.—A steady downpour of rain interfered somewhat with the pro- gramme arranged for the reception of Governor Gage, but did not dampen the ardor of the Humboldt Republicans. They came from all parts of the county on ex- cursion trains to meet the Governor. The steamship Pomona, carrying Governor Gage, crossed in at 8 o'clock this morning and steamed slowly up the bay. Bhe was met by the steamer Antelope, on which was a delegation of leading citizens, ac- the Eureka band. - Both vessels were gayly decorated with stream- ers and bunting. At the wharf a dense crowd awaited the landing of the steamer and repeatedly cheered Governor Gage. A committee consisting of Common Council Chairman Bull and Secretary Gregor of the County Central Committee, Senator Gillette, J. M. Vance and J. W. Hender- son formall¥ welcomed the visitors. In the afternoon a reception was held in the parlors of the Vance Hotel. This evening ihe greatest political raly of the season was held in the pavilion. The spaclous hall was crowded to its ut- most capacity. Fully 3000 persons heard Governor Gage speak. The chairman of the meeting was Thomas H. Selvage, can- didate for State Senator.

The buying was by shorts, who had held off untll the last moment. It was said that r Thomas could have made the price $100 as well as $20, but he deciared he had no intention of “‘squeezing” anybody. That the October deal did not furnish greater excitement to-day was due, it is sajd, to the fact that many shorts, threatened with being swept off the board, were pre- viously jowed to fix up their deals with leton privately. s a result of his deal here Lipton is beliaved to have made 000 ere were only 35,000 barrels of pori that could be delfvered and the Englishman owned them all, as well as twice that number hought from those who did not have a barrel to deliver when the time came.
