Champaign. 111.. Sept. 4.—Three ne
groes are under arreet hen whom the
Champaign police believe murdered
two white men on an Illinois Central
tlyer and threw them under qie wheel*,
where the bodies Vers ground to piece*.
The victim* of the double tragedy
were found near Clifton, a email town
aouth of Kankakee, and when the fa*t
train which left Chicago at 6 o'clock
laet night arrived her* early today, the
euapect* were at once arreeted.
All deny their guilt, but one of them
had considerable money, and It la the
belief of the police that It may have
been obtained from the two men who
were killed. The three negroea under
grreat ahow the effect* of a terrific
light, for they are marked with
acratche* and brulaea which may have
been Inflicted by the victim* of the
tragedy. All ahow mark* of a des
perate atruggle.
Five men were seen to board the
"blind baggage" of the flyer, which left
the Twelfth street depot In Chicago
last night.
Ed H. Bell, the express messenger,
tell* a graphic atory of the affair.
"Near Clifton,” he said, "I felt a
jolt. A few second* later there was
another one. It seemed as If the train
Five graduates of the Atlanta Boys'
High School last year, with one un
dergraduate. left Tuesday for Auburn,
Ala., where they will enter the Ala
bama Polytechnic Institute, better
known as "Auburn.'' They were How
ard Porter, Charles Kuchlnskl, Edward
Stauffacher, Carlisle Smith and Ed
ward Austin.
The boys were led to prefer Auburn
to other schools largely by the enthu
siasm of Ralph Everett, a high school
boy of two year* ago, who has spent
a year at the Alabama technical school.
Six of the high school graduates will
enteh the Georgia Tech when It open*

was running over some obstruction.
The train was stopped and we backed
up and found the bodies of two white
men ground almost to pieces."
There was nothing about them that
would Indicate their Identity. When
the train was stopped the negroes who
ore under arrest could not be seen, but
when the train arrived at Champaign
they were raptured. One of the negroes
admits he rode on the tender of the en
gine Inost of the time, while the
other-two were on the platform of the
car. They deny there were any white
men stealing a ride on the train, but
the express messenger declares that
they were seen when the train pulled
out of the Chicago station.
When the police attempted to arrest
the three men found on the car they
made a desperate resistance ond had
to be quelled by force.
The Hague, Sept. 4.—The next pie
nary sitting of the peace congress will
be held Saturday, when the American
proposal for the collection of contract
ual debta, made by General Horace E.
Porter,, will be voted upon. Tble pro
posal was yesterday approved, prac
tlcally unanimously, by the committee
of examinations. The Importance of
the proposal Itel mainly In the prtnet
pie which It establishes rather than In
practical application, which may occur
seldom. Argentine Republic voted for
the propoanl, but maintained her origi
nal reaervattons on the subject.
It I* not likely that the Austro-Hun
garian proposal on obligatory will be
heard of again. It was practically
wreckod by yesterday’s vote of the
committee on arbitration, on which all
nations were represented. American
delegates are now Interested In a img
gsstton made to Latln-Amerlcan coun-
tries regarding th* American proposal
to establish a permanent International
hjgh court of justice at The Hague, In
that from fifteen to twenty-five electors
be selected by the conference, who shall
elect judges. This suggestion, how
ever, doe# not moot with the Ideas of
tho Latln-Amerlcan countries, who
think th* rights and sovereignty of tho
countries represented are not protected

Meat High, Teaches the People about Better
Food for Less Money
One pound of Grape-Nuts contains more nourishment—that
the system will absorb—than ten pounds of meat.
An experiment was tried by a man who found that by leav
ing off meat altogether at breakfast and lunch, and taking in
its place four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with cream
he began to gain flesh and strength and before the full pound
package was gone had gained four pounds in weight, whereas
he had been losing on his meat diet.
A gentleman in Baltimore writes; “I was a steady meat eater three times a
day for several years. For a long time I steadily ran down, was miserable, and ev
erything I ate caused distress. I fell away from 185 pounds to 150. Somebody told me
that if I would change my diet and take Grape-Nuts food at two meals in the day, I
would improve. I made the experiment and in less than two weeks began to improve
very rapidly. I discovered that a few teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with cream would
furnish more nourishment than quantities 6f meat. My improvement has continued
until now I weigh 195 pounds, which is a gain of about 45 pounds in five months and
I feel in magnificent condition.”
Grape-Nuts is a crisp, dainty, delicious food, made of select
ed parts of wheat and barley, and scientifically treated ii
manufacture by moisture, time and heat—-nature’s way—to
slowly and perfectly develop the diastase from the grain and
transform the starch into a form of sugar in the most per
fect manner. The small particles of phosphate of potash
found in the certain parts of the cereals are retained, and these
elements vitalize and nourish the brain and nerve centers
throughout the body.
Grape-Nuts is a condensed food, and about four teaspoonfuls
with cream is sufficient for the cereal part of a meal. It re
quires no cooking or preparation of any kind, and is,ready
for immediate use and suited to the laborer, athlete, brain-work
er, epciure and invalid.

you could not taste the sweet. GROVE'S
