AN ANTI-BRYAN BOMB THROWN N CONGRESS Illy Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington; Feb. 10 A bomb was thrown into the democracy of the house today when Representative Leake ( Dem.. N. J.) made a sensa tional three-minutes speech in wh'ch he attacked William J.

Coffee for The noon-day lunch for the De partment clerks at Washington, is often a most serious question. "For fifteen years," writes one of these darks, "I have been working In one of the Government Depart ments. About two years ago I found myself every afternoon, with a very tired feeling In my head, trying to get the day's work off my desk. "I had heard of Grape-Nuts as a food for brain and nerve centres, so I began to eat it instead of my usual heavy breakfast, th,en for my lunch Instead of sandwiches and coffee. "In a very short time the tired feeling in the head left me, and ever since then the afternoon's work has been done with as much ease and pleasure as the morning's work. "Grape-Nuts for two meals a day . has worked, in my case, Just as ad vertised, producing that reserve force and supply of energy that does not permit one to tire easily so es sential to the successful prosecution of oue's life work."

N, C, Feb. 10 The condition of Mr. Clem Dowd late last night was desperate. He was no better but on the contrary was much weaker by reason of wasted vitality. Practically all hope has been aban doned and today it is expected he may die at any hour. Mr. R. H. Jordan did not rest well yesterday or last night and his con dition this morning is very critical. Mr. George Jordan, another brother, arrived in the city last night from Greenville, S. C, to be at the bed side. Mr. Jordan has pneumonia, both lungs being involved. Unless there is a change for the better to day his condition will be desperate, it not hopeless. WHOLE TOWN One case of plain drunk was all that held the boards at the police court this morning, and' the consid eration of that was not of sufficient importance, in the mind of the court, to bear relation even to a newspaper man who happened along after the court passed upon the mat ter and had settled itself for the day's discussion of the things that are wont to happen at home and abroad. Indeed but for the specific inquiry on the part of the scribe, it is safe to assume that this day's work of the court would never have baen told to the world, but would have gone down in the annals of the municipal tribunal over which ".ledge" Badger presides. But when interrupted in the midst of his discourse upon one of the matters considered recently by the board of aldermen (over which the court has no Jurisdiction) with the question, if anything had passed up before the docket of the court in a "regular"' way, the court replied in Its most emphatic manner. "One case. Just a plain drunk." "And who was the unfortunate one," inquired ths newspaper man "A negro," shouted the court, with a glance that indicated that sufficient unto the name was the na. tionality thereof. And he turned again to the discussion of the alder manic question aforesaid. But the occasion he took to remind all that he was not now talking in an "offi cial capacity," hence he would have it thoroughly understood that he wished not to be quoted in connec tion with the matter that he was "just discussing" as "a citizen." The judge, be it remembered, is a est man. THE HANDS OF RECIEv R (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Belleville, Ills., Feb. 10. The village of Cahokla, the oldest settle ment In Illinois, has been placed in the hands of a receiver. This is the first time in the history of the state that such action has been : taken against a town or city. Judge B. R. Burroughs, presiding in the circuit court, appointed S. B.

Prelimi nary hearing of Beacher Hargls for the murder of his father, Judge James Hargls. began at Jackson, Breathitt county, today. Those who are arrayed with Judge Hargls' bitterest enemies are the only persons who have been heard to express sympathy for his murderer son.

This has caused a great sen sation throughout the mountain sec tion. An attorney has been employed by the patricide's mother to defend her son. ies Ready-to-WBar larmenfs.
