McFarland, Bentonville. serves as example. He writes: "I had bronchitis for three years and doctored all the time without being benefited. Then I began taking Dr. King's New Discovery, and a few bottles wholly cured me." Equally effective in curing all lung and throat troAles, consumption, pneumonia and grip.

TALKED WITH GOVERIiuR ON LOCAL OPTION CASE Jail Sentence Inflicted on Boys in El-lit County for Technical Violation of the Law Bids for State Supplies-Bonds Approved. The railroad commission of Texas addressed tne following bristling communication yesterday to H.

M. Fick-enger, vice president of the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad company of Fort Worth: Dear Sir The attention of the commission has been called to a dispatch from Austin to the Dallas News, dated June 7, and appearing in that paper on the following day. reading in full as follows: "Austin, June 8. "The attorney general approved and th aecretary of state filed an amendment to the charter of the St. Louis, Ban Francisco and Texas Railway company, Increasing the capital stock from $209,000 to $3,000,000.

"The amendment was presented personally by Judge II. D. McDonald of Paris, Texas, attorney for the Frisco Interests, and the Increase is made preparatory to taking over of three other properties authorized by the consolidation act of the last legislature. "Those to be merged are the Black-well. Enid and Texas.

Red River, Texas and Southern and Oklahoma and Texas roads. The act also authorized the merging under the same name of the Fort Worth and Rio Orande and the Paris and Great Northern. "There are some details affecting the latter to be arranged before Its consideration. As to the Fort Worth and Rio Orande, the railroad commission holds that It Is not amenable to the stock and bond law. as It was built under a special construction contract prior to the stock and bond law.

"The contract provides that extensions should be made under certain conditions by said company, and the recent expansion to Brady was under that contract, hence its consolidation Will not take place at this time. "Judge McDonald also filed an application with the railroad commission lor authority to Issue and register and bonds to the amount of 4100,000 on the Oklahoma and Texas, and 1171,000 on the Blackwell, Enid and 'Texas, "The commission will have Its engineer Inspect and report on the value the properties before action la talun." This la to advise you that a majority of this commission does not be-llere that the contract referred to In this dispatch Is binding upon this commission, and certainly Is not superior to what is known as the stock and bond law. For fear that your company might cenolude to issue stocks and bonds upon a previous ruling or construction made by the commission on the contract referred to, we take occasion at this time to say that the commission, as now constituted will not approve any application for registration of stock and bonds upon the property of the Fort Worth and Rio Grande rail-iway which It does not find, after valuing under the stock and bond law, It is entitled to, and will not recognise the construction referred to as a basis -for issuance of stocks and bonds. And if any stocks and bonds are Issued by said company without being approved and registered as provided Hancock Opera House LaaHes and Children's Speclsl Vaudeville Matinee, Wat 3 p.m.sbarp IO STOWELL, Original Coon tnetttir.

Loans on business property as well as tmabtatuMk "I think this feature of the proposition was made so clear before said meeting that myself and ail parties there could have had no misunderstanding upon that point; but in order that tiie matter may be promptly and clearly brought to your attention I thus address you. "While Dr. JaeobB is not responsible for the newspaper publications, It is nevertheless to the interests of the community that the proposition be so placed before the public that in considering it they may do so from a correct and Intelligent standpoint, and not become subsequently prejudiced against it because of their original misinterpretations." The other letter, dated June 6, reads: "We would very much appreciate It If you could give us the present post-office addresses of Joseph F. Frlzzell, John Bogait, E.

C. Geyelin, J. T. Fanning, Chas. K.

McDonald. "We would also appreciate receiving in duplicate In so far as they are to be had aJid subject to their being In printed form copies of each and all of the reports mads by each and all of the various engineers who have been at any time engaged in the work of building the dam and subsequent to its washout, including those special inspections." The parties named In the second letter took part in the construction of the dam, and the fact that Dr. Jacobs and Mr. Deming desire to know of their whereabouts leads to the belief that Dr. Jacobs has already started to arrange details for his proposition.

The letter has caused much enthusiasm among the members of the citizens' committee. The report of the citizens' committee on the proposition of Dr. Jacobs will be presented to the city council when it meets, one week from next Monday night. This is official. MISSIONARY WORK AMONG THE CHINESE REV.

THREE PICKANINNIES LET OFF WITH WHIPPING ARRESTED FOR PETTY THEFTS BUT WERE TOO YOUNG TO PROSECUTE SEVERELY REPRIMANDED BY THE COURT. The three young boys arrested by Police Officers Bustin and Brodie, charged with robbing the cash drawers at James Brady's grocery store and Tears' undertaking establishment, were taken before Justice Johnson yesterday afternoon for a preliminary hearing. The boys are very young, the youngest being only 8 years. While the state had a bundle of evidence to introduce against the boys, the court and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Caldwell thought they were too young to be prosecuted.

Upon motion of the state's representative and promise of the mothers of the boys to whip them the juvenile prisoners were released from custody. Justice Johnson severely reprimanded the lads, winding up by saying: "If I ever get you in my court again I will make cat meat out of you." The Rideau Lakes.

yesterday morning he found at his office two letters from Robert O. Deniing of Os wego, who was with Dr. John N. Jacobs when the lat'er made a proposition to rebuild the Austin dum. Both of these letters were written at Oswego and are In reference to rebuilding the dam.

One of the letters, dated June 3, is as follows: "My attention lias been called to an article appearing in a recent issue of a newspaper having reference to the proposition of Dr. Jacobs for rebuilding the dam at your plate. "I have thought the article somewhat misleading in failing as it does to bring out clearly the fact that Dr. Jacobs' proposition carries with it the requirement that the city return to him, at the expiration of fifty years, but with no interest, the sum which he had expended in rebuilding the durn and In tiie extension and betterment of the electric light and waterworks plants. From the language of the article referred to the public might gain the Impression that the dam and both the water and electric light plants would be returned to the city at the end of fifty years without any payment whatsoever.

"Presumably Dr. Jacobs' offer must be considered sufficiently liberal when, as a consideration for a satisfactory lease, he proposes to liquidate your burdensome indebtedness of $1,400,000, principal and interest. What he may expend in rebuilding the darn and In the improvement of the water and electric light plants must be worth to your city what it will cost, less reasonable wear, and for which, as stated by me during the public meeting, Dr. Jacobs would expect payment at the expiration of his lease. 247, being the receipts of the state department for the month of May.

TURN OVER TIME When Nature Hints About the Food When there's no relish to any food anrt all that one eats doesn't seem to do any good then is the time to make a turn over in the diet, for that's Nature's wav of dropping a hint that the food isn't the kind required. "For a number of years I followed railroad work, much of It being office work of a trying nature. Meal times were our busiest and eating too much and too quickly of food such as is commonly served In hotels and restaurants, these together with the sedentary habits, were not long in giving me dyspepsia and stomach trouble, which reduced my weight from 205 to 160 pounds. "There was little relish In any food and none of it seemed to do me any good.

It seemed the more I ate the poorer I got and was always hungry before another meal, no matter how much I had eaten. "Then I commenced a fair trial of Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a small saucer of it would carry me along, strong and with satisfied appetite, until' the next meal, with no sensations of hunger, weakness or distress as before. "I have been following this diet now for several months and my improvement has been so great all the others in my family have taken up the use of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfaction and much improvement in health and brain power. "American people undoubtedly eat nurriedly. have lots of worry, thus hindering digestion and therefore need a food that Is predigested and concentrated In nourishment."
