engaged in a fight yesterday after
noon near Arnheiter’s butcher shop

It seems that the girl,who is em
ployed in a restaurant on Bay street,
went into the butcher shop to put

down with the large weapon across
her right wrist.

THE FREIGHT STEAMER KIOWA
WILL BE PUT ON RUN BE
TWEEN HERE AND BOSTON
POWERFUL AND COMMODIOUS
She WL! Bea Valuable Addition to
the Company’s Fleet—ls a Sister
Ship to the Huron and Has
Already Been Launched.
The steamship Kiowa, the sister
ship of the Huron, has been launched
and sln i will take her place on the
Clyde line next month. The Kiowa is
due f ere from New York on June 25
and the schedule will doubtless lie
followed. She was launched la~t Sat
urday, being christened by Miss
Bessie Milne, a niece of 1!. F. Clyde,
at the Cramps yards.
The Kiowa is a steel hulled vessel
with wood deckhouse. She i- lilted
with improved cranes and hoistig ap
paratus for the quick handling of
heavy cargoes. Her length is 300
feet, beam 13 feet and depth 30 l'eet
She is provided with tripple expan
sion engines of Hie three cylinder in
verted type, with a horse power of
about 1,500. She will have a speed
of about 11 knots.
Tiie Kiowa is a .-islet ship of llie
Huron and like the latter, she will
he used only for freight business.
She has no passenger accomodations
at all. hut lie is provided with com
fortable and convenient quarters for
the officers and crew of the vessel.
Like the Huron, the Kiowa will be
known as Ihe -“extra boat,” flying on
both the New York and Boston routes,
as the accumulation of freight de
mands. The Huron lias proved very
valuable to the Clyde company in
hauling its heavy business during ihe
paaU.xv.iplM) and il was a mature of
regret that the shipbuilders could not
turn out. her sister' sooner
The Clyde nine has met with the
loss (of several vessels during the
past few years, but il lias endeavor
el' to hold its business by the eonstruc
■ ion of the new vess and . and tbe Bos
lun-(i.al'JiceV:; Brunswick line has
been fairly well treated in equipment
and addition of the new steamships.
The fact of the matter is that the
business is worth having and the
Clyde Hue has been making efforts
I not only to hold, but to still further
[increase its business and therefore
the company has been adding to the
accomodations of the local lines. The
Clyde company has had considerable j
oppi -Riis) wiili the railroads anil its
only way of meeting this competition |
is to build and operate vessels.
Until the several New York liners
were lengthened and the Huron was
put into service, there was much
complaint of freight being delayed
gt: the piers and warehouses, lint,
the improvements of tiie service lias
given stick satisfaction, and with
the new vessel tile service will lie
still better.
The Kiowa’s return trip will be to
New York and Ihen iter run on tills
lino anil lie Boslon line will be du
(' !',ni!ii:d by the freight for the two
lines.
WHITE BREAD.
Another Proof in the Controversy.
Under certain conditions white
bread, potatoes and ail starchy food
fails to digest and bowel troubles and
appendicitis are likely to follow unless
the food is changed.
After ron-iilting five physicians the
last thn-* of whom (P-clairoii that an
operation for a.p;i'-:.dicitas was the on
ly way to save her life a young lady
of Bloomington, lie!., recovered her
health entirely with u<> other aid than
Grape Nuts, the scientific predigested
cereal food.
Tti.io( year ago 1 had
an attack of wliat my family physi
cian pronounced congestion of the
bowels and stomach.
■ He treated me for some time but
I ( .intituled to grow weaker, constant
ly subject to tire same attacks. 1
was compelled lo give up my studies
at college. In the meantime I Con
sult- and another physician. Finally I
went to a specialist who pronounced
it catarrii of the stomach and acute
appendicitis I wa.- under his care
for about Ihn-e week’s when i iiad
another attack and my parents called
other physicians who claimed that
nothing but the ’removal of tho ap
pendix would save my life.
"My parents refused to permit this
and i was left a total wreck, weak,
nervous, unable to cat. It was then
that they tried Grape-Nuts, feeding
jise a t’ ispoonful three times a day.
THOUSANDS WILL GO
TO THE BIG REUNION
Upon this food alone i improved from
the start to the great wonder of my
family. For two months 1 ate noth
ing but Grape-Nuts and drank beef
tea. Since that time, (which was
more than a year ago) I have had
not the slightest illness anil I am now
strong and able to study again. I
know that I owe my restored health
to Grape-Nuts and am now eating it
constantly." Name furnished by Pos
tum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.
in this case, as in most cases of
appendicitis, ihe trouble started with
infiamation of the bowels resulting
from the use of pastry, starch foods
that were undigested in the stomach
and went into the intestines in an un
digested \conditioii, fomenting there
and starting disease. Too much white
bread will do this. Relief and perma
nent cure came when the improper
food was left off and Grape-Nuts,(in
which the starches have been trans
formed into grape sugar by predigest
tnlg process), was used. Although ail
of the rebuilding elements are there
in Grape-Nuts tHo food is so pure that
the most delicate stomach relishes and
digests it.

MAKING SOME CHANGES.
Which is the Cause of Electric Lights
Being Out.
For the past few days the people of
New Town have been complaining
about, the electric service in that sec
tion of the city, saying lhat the arc
light- have been am for the past sev
eral nights.
A News reporter yesterday saw
President Fendig, of the Mutual Bight
and Water company, and he stated
lhat the cause of the trouble was on
account of repairs being made at the
plant. The boilers are living changed
and a number of other improvements
ar L being made, which necessitated
the lights being out for a few nights,
t m t they will be turned on again t.o
night, and the people will not have
another opportunity to complain
Since the Mutual look charge of
the light and water plant they have
been busy making improvements, and
have added considerable to the plant.
Whenever a change is made it is ab
solutely necessary to cause some lit
tle inconvenience, but the company
soon hops to have their plant perfect
in every respect.
