Oct. 9.—Sub- S* ,„n« arc beln * taken her ® ,0r the *z‘ . of defraying the expenses of j- f- shi p p and hl * deputle *' h, are charged with contempt of the court of the United States, on of the lynching of Ed Johnson. ‘ / whose eases have been set for f.rlng October 15. Petitions are circulated which state that Sher- .w Shipp and his deputies had noth- * to do with the lynching. Thesa pe- were first signed by George W.

United Confederate Vet- J B. .Vlrklln. a leading drug- I I o Martin, a leading wholesale I! 1, dealer, and others. Wetter has been received hero Which that it will not be necessary for Lh.rtrr Shipp and Ills deputies nor any u the members of the alleged Ed John- K- mob to appear In person before he 'court of last resort, but that only Of attorneys In the case will be pres et and represent theft side of the con-, tentlon. It Is probable; however, that later on It may be necessary for all the defendants to appear In person or give their evidence here by depositions, which, .In this case, the depositions would be'taken by a-Unlted States commissioner sent here for that purpose. Judge Harmon, of Cincinnati, who represents the sheriff, has almost com- Dieted drawing up the answer of Sher- III Shipp, which will be filed with the court of last resort on the day of the lenlng. i Besides Judge Harmon, the following attorneys of this city, representing either the sheriff or the alleged mem bers of the mob, will appear In person before the United States supreme court: llobert Pritchard, Williams & Daniels, Spears & Lynch, Judge Lewis Shepherd, who represented Ed John son In his first trial; Martin Fleming, T. W. Stanfield and John A. Hood. The news that the defendants will not be required to appear in person before the court of last resort gave them great relief, for many of them would have been placed In strained financial circumstances If they had been compelled to go to Washington In person. The petition that Is being circulated Is being readily subscribed to. @ © ©®@®$©©@® © © © © © © © © @ © © © © © © ® © ® © © © © ©© ©©©©©©©©©©@ © © © © ®®E5SK SOLIDMAHOGANYBED-RCIOM FURNITURE !©: l@: I© I !©! i@: !©! dick croker sues paper IN LONDON FOR LIBEL Dublin.

Luther Burbank (Originator of new forma of plant life) Says “Too much starch in our diet is a cause of no end of trouble.” “I believe that ill-balanced foods resulting in im proper nourishment, are at the bottom of the causes leading up to tuberculosis.” We eat quantities of white bread, (starch) pota- to »‘s, (starch) pastry, (starch) wheat & oats, (starch) and wonder why we run down and have bowel troubles. It’s plain enough on thinking. I'Vom too much starchy food the lower digestive machinery wearies and fails to digest it. (Starch indi gestion). Then the partly digested starch lying in tbu moist warm plao6 in the bowels, naturally decays, Stasis arise and irritation of the bowels results, show- 1M K 'll poor nourishment and various ails. “What •an you do?” Eat Grape-Nuts and Cream instead of bi'iad, potatoes, pastry, wheat, oats, &c., &c., because in Grape-Nuts food the starchy parts of wheat and barley have, in the process of manufacture, been transformed into a form of sugar perfectly digestable. Starchy food is demanded by Nature to supply energy and warmth to the body,, but it should be so prepared that the human system can make use of it " tthout overtaxing the digestive machinery. “There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts Our Solid and Veneered Mahogany Goods are the finest of their respective lines we could obtain in the country.

A circus that Is "too hlg to give a street pnrnde" Is n novelty even In these days of colossal enterprises and mammoth amusement Institutions. Rut that Is the announcement of the Hnrnuiu & Ralley rlr- cua. which ezhlhlta tu Atlanta Friday ami knturdny, October 19 and 39. In apeaktng of the reasona for this striking Innovation, a repreaentstlvo of the hlg show said reeently: 'The Bsrpnm * Bailey circus has lie- come so Isrgn that a parade Is no longer possible or oven desirable. If we could lie absolutely sure of getting Into town, by daybreak, the parade would still lie feasl tde, tint with onr fire .long trains of ears, this la too much to expect of the roll- rond companies.

In order to give a parade, would mean delay lit opening, and conse quent discomfort to the pulilie. To com pel thousands of people to stand out la front of the entrance In the hot sun or rain, because the giving ef the parade has delayed the opening for an hour or more, Is positively ernel; lint there Is frequently no help for It when parades are given. By eliminating the parade, the public li also saved a long and often nncnmfortn alt na the streets pending Ilia nl ways more or less delsyed procession, which at best bat nothing new to offer, to say nothing of the liiterfarence with public traffic and the linslness of tho city merchants.

George Ade’e first muslcak success came to the Grand again Monday night for an engagement of three per formances. But It waa not like the old "Sultan.” Tho Jokes fell very flat from the lips of the comedians and the songs seemed to lack their old swing. Perhaps It was because 'The Sultan” Is getting In hls dotage, or perhaps it Is because the company could not get tho humor out of their parte—or rather Into them. But even with all that, the audience warmed under the (pfluence of the muelc and the riot of color and ap plauded almost every song In the sec ond act. The company improved under its encouragement and things went much better than In the first act. The weakness la In the comedy. Al bert Sykes falls to Instill fun Into Kl- Ram and Mr. McCarthy falls as Hadji. But ths music Is fairly well handled and several number* were given fre quent recalls. , Mian Broske waa a surprise. In re sponse to a recall In the second act she sang "Annie Laurie'.' In a manner that atllled the audience almost abso lutely until the last note died away. She was forced to sing the refrain of the old song again and again. Nothing but the noisy movements of the Irre pressible ushers In the rear of the house broke the spell. There are girls In plenty and they are pretty. Stella Martlne Is full of life and -sings and dances as though stjs enjoyed It. The scenery Is splendid and the chorus numbers delightfully sung. The engagement Is for Tuesday af ternoon ^nd night. a. D.

It's one of the Roger* Brothers variety of extravaganzas with plenty of fun and music and a fair share of pretty girls.

One of these ponies stood out from the rest, howover. like a eky-scraper from the sky IIne. She was one of the leaders and waa always on one of the ends—tho blond one with the broom- handle curls. She had a smile that waa put there to stay and that looked like one of enjoyment—not the ordi nary commercial smirk of the ordl nary lady of the chorus—and she man aged to do her work Just a little better than rest.
