CIES THAT THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN DESIRE REMEDIED. - - - ... -
THE TROUBLE ALL ARISES OVER THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE WHITE AND COLORED GENERAL WAITING ROOMS. THE

Flippant.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr. Dixon's scheme for deporting
the negro population of this country
is impracticable. Beside, it would be
unfair to a large number of white per
sons who are equally entitled to the
trip.
At the Symphony Concert.
"Now, this opus," explained the mu
sical sharp, "was written while the
great composer was under the influ
ence of Wagner."
"I'm glad to know that," responded
McRobinson. "Otherwise I should
have entertained the idea that it was
written while he was under the in
fluence of a particularly bum brand of
booze." Louisville Courier-Journal.
From Jail to Hospital.
Will Jenkins, colored, who for years
drove one of Wadsworth's baggage
wagons, was taken to the Good Samari
tan Hospital this morning. Jenkins
had been confined in the county
jail for the last week. He is one of the
large number of "blind tiger" artists
the police have recently nabbed. Jenk
ins weighs about 250 pounds and is a
hard drinker. The fact that his sup
ply of whiskey has been cut off and his
close confinement has mitigated
against his health. It is thought that
the negro will soon recover.
Matthew Boulware III.
Matthew Boulware, colored, who was
sent to the county roads for five years
for manslaughter has been returned
to the jail because of his physical con
dition. Owing to the crowded condi
tion of the jail Boulware continues in
a serious condition. Steps may be
taken to have him confined and guard
ed at the colored hospital.

MAS
MEETING
Around the fireside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grownups can with their wits and
ceo how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest-number
of words will each receive a little
box containing a $10.00 gold piece.
10 people will each vin one box
containing a $5.00 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box con
taining $1.00 in paper money and one
pennies that the noon hour will find a
man on our breakfast huskier and
with a stronger heart-beat and clearer
working brain than he ever had on
the old diet.
Suppose, if you have never really
made a move for absolutely clean
health that pushes you along each
day with a spring in your step and a
reserve vigor in muscle and brain
that makes the doing of things a pleas
ure, you join the army of "plain old
person who makes the highest number ( common sense" and start in now.
of words over all contestants will re
ceive a box containing $100.00 in gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
h- added.
A few rules aro necessary for ab
solute fair play. 8
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted but no
name of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used as for instance
"grape" and "g-apes."
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names ; authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A
together and those beginning E to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A,
E. and other columns to fill in later
as new words come to you, for they
will spring into mind every evening.
It is almost certain that some con
testants will tie with ethers. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with
the list of words a plainly written
letter describing the. advantages of
Grape-Nuts, but the contestant is not
required to purchase a pkg. These
letters are not to contain poetry, or
fancy flourishes, but simple, truthful
statements of fact. For illustration:
A person may have experienced some
incipient or chronic ails traceable to
unwise selection of food that failed
to give the body and brain the energy,
health and power desired. Seeking
better conditions a change in food is
made and Grape-Nuts and cream used
in place of the former diet. Suppose
one qu.ts the meat, fried potatoes
starchy, sticky, messes of half-cooked
oats or wheat and and cuts out the
coffee. Try, say for breakfast a, bit of
fruit, a dish of Grape-Nuts and cream,
two soft-boiled ejrss. a slice of hard
toast and a cup of Postum Food Coffee
Some amateur savs: "A man would
laint away on that," but my , dear
friend we will put dollars 7 to your
Then after you have been 2 or 3 weeks
on the Grape-Nuts training you write
a statement of how you used to he
and how you are now. The simple
facts will interest others and surprise
yourself. We never publish, names ex
cept on permission, but we often tell
the facts in the newspapers and when
requested give the names by private
letter. '
There is plenty of time to get per
sonal experience with Grape-Nuts and
write a sensible, truthful letter to be
sent in with the list of words, as the
contest does not close until April 30th,
1906. So start in as soon as your like to
building words, and start in using
Grape- Nuts. Cut this statement out
and keep the letters Y-I-O- Grape-Nuts
before your letter you will have some
reason to write on the subject
"Why I Owe Grape- Nuts."
Remember 331 persons will win
prizes, which will be awarded in an
exact and just manner as soon as the
list can bo counted after April 30th,
1806. Every contestant will be sent a
printed list of names and addresses
of winners on application, in order to
have proof that the prizes are sent as
agreed. The company is well known
all over the world for absolute fidelity
to its agreements and every single one
of the 331 winners may depend on
receiving the prize won.
Many persons might feel it useless
to contest, but when one remembers
the great number of prizes (331)
the curiosity of seeing ; how many
vords can really be made up evening
after evening and the good, natural
fun and education in the competition.
it seems worth the trial; there is no
cost, nothing to lose and a fine oppor
tunity to win one of the many boxes
of gold or greenbasks.
We make the prediction that some
who win a prize of gold or greenbacks,
will also win back health and strength
worth more to them than a wagon full
oi money prizes,
There are no preliminaries, " cut but
tnis statement and go at it, and send
in the list and letter before Anril 30th.

annexation to Charlotte and still
others to let the matter stand as it is.
The committee will also take steps to
wards improving the roads and secur
ing police protection. Another meeting
of the citizens will be held one night
next week at which time the commit

Will Gather Tonight and Tomorrow.
' The weather man says that the
splendid sunshine of : today will be
short-lived, i ' In his remarks on the
weather Mr.' Bennett says that tonight
the clouds will gather and by tomor
row the cloudiness will increase. As
to conditions elsewhere Mr. Bennett
says: .
"The barometric disturbance central
Monday morning over Florida moved
northeastward up the coast, and -is
this morning central over the ocean off
Hatteras. It has caused rain generally
over the South Atlantic States and
along the Middle Atlantic coast. A
ridge of high, pressure stretches from
the , lower lakes to the east Gulf and
has caused fair weather over these sec
tions of the country. An area of low
pressure central over Oklahoma has
caused snow over the lower Mississippi
Valley, and rain generally to the west
of the lower Mississippi. The weather
in this vicinity will be partly cloudy
to cloudy tonight and Wednesday."

"Yes," said the barber, as he com
bed the man's hair,, "J can usually tell
about , what; a man's business is by
noticing his head. The bumps tell me.
It's a sort of phrenology. I guess. Oh I
ain't claimine to be a phrenologist,
but still, I guess I am a kind of one.
A Man bet mo the price of a:

day that I couldn't tell his business in
three guesses. Iguessed "cattleman"
the first time, He said that was wrong,
so I said 'sheep-raiser.' That time I hit
it. That bet cost him 90 cents.
"Try guessing my business," sug
gested the man in the chair.
The barber looked in the other's
face, then he felt the bumps on "his
customer's head. "Well" he said, you're
a preacher, I'd say." .. .
"Wonderful!" came from the custom
er .The barber smiled.
"I knew I could guess it," he said
When, the customer left the shop a
few minutes later he was touched on
the arm by a man who had been in
the next chair. "Pardon me", said the
other "but how do you account for
that barber's guess?"
"Oh it was just a guess and a bad
one at that," said the: man accosted.
"Bad one?"
"Yes, I'm a Cheyenne saloonkeeper."
The, other showed surprise. "But"
he said, "you said 'Wonderful when
he called you a preacher?"
