The outcome of the democratic wtate
convention with the shabby treatment ac
corded W. H. Thompson and the manifest
ascendancy of the Berge gubernatorial
aspirations over those of Bhallenbergf r
furnish the developments on tha demo

piriform which he was ready to embody
In his formal announcement. It will be

his candidacy was mads a few weeks

of ssveral democratic papers to serve
as the signal for the first round of Jour

EATING

s STOMACH
That's what the man who bolts his food without thor
oughly chewing it, tries to do.
This is particularly true when uses soft, 6tarchy foods,
which seldom get the necessary digestion by the saliva, as
nature intended, because most people Bwallow such foods as
quickly as possible. This leads to weakened digestive organs,
fermentation, imperfect nutrition, and sometimes appen
dicitis. ' Grape-Its
must.be chewed, and for this, -as well as other reasons, this
food has saved mny from chronic intestinal troubles and all
the misery that means. If there's one thing about Grape
Nuts of greater interest than its scientific food qualities, it
is its remarkable practical adaptability to -all weakened con
ditions of the digestive organs and its power to build them
up quickly.

B. R. Cuddeback of Fremont carr.e to
Omaha Saturday to pilot the Italian car to
Grand Island and was welcomed by the
Italians, who expressed pleasure at the re
ception they were receiving In the west,
which they said was quite a contrast to
that which was accorded them throughout
Indiana. '
Two of the heavy springs were broken
and W. R. McKeen, superintendent of mo
tive power and machinery of the Union
Pacific, set some of his men to work to
make them some new ones. The car wasl
taken to pieces and every part overhauled.
Those who were admitted to the upper
atorage of the garage marveled at the
splendid construction of the foreign car, all
parts being highly polished ar.d eepcla ly
strong.

The Italians hope to get an early start for
the west this morning and will lunch at
Fremont and then try to make Columbus
for tha night. The recent freese will msks

Hasca. the expert machinist, who Is able
to talk In four different languages, could

prised to find a garage so thoroughly
equipped as that at Kimball's, whi.h he

rquarly Roberts' heart sets In the right

when at the Rome hotel banquet he said,
"ThU city has given us the most cor

Special to the New York Times.
OMAHA. Neb.. March 4, The Thomas
car in the New York to Paris ra.ee arrived
at Omaha at 11:45 this morning and will
leave for Cheyenne early Thursday morn-
''he trip from Logan, la., where we
stayed last night, to Council Bluffs was
devoid cl incident until we reached the
mitaklim of Omaha, where we met with
the a-randest reception given us yet. The-
car has been equal to Iowa mud and
haf stood up wonderfully. Never be
fore have I piloted any car through ruch
fleldfe of mud, through such horrible road
conditions as have been found In the last
2P0 miles.
We have plowed a trail In the road
where '.ulerprlHlng western farmers can
plant their grain and reap a harvest at
oi'i expense. Today American flags
gutted uh all along the roud. No mat
tr how humble the farmhouse, an Amerl
ccn flag was displayed, evidencing the
patriotism of the west.
Words are Inadequate to describe our
reception In Omaha. The moment we
reached Missouri Valley, twenty-four
miles east of Omaha, the foot was an
nounced by the screeching of a large
stien whtwtle at the Union Pacific shops.
Incidentally, permission must be ob
tained from the city fathers before the
fehlotle can be blown. The siren was
heard all over Oman a heralding our tp
pros h.
When v.e reached the bridge between
Council Bluffs and Omaha eight cannon
were fired and every whistle in the city
was let loose. When the peoplo of Omaha
do anything they do It thoroughly.
They tell me that such mammoth
crowds, through which we were actually
compelled to fight our way for a mile,
were never before seen In Omaha. Po
licemen and officers on horseback in front
of us were responsible for our final sue.
cessful effort to reach our garage. Flow,
ers and flags thrown at us during our
passage through this vast concourse of
people mingled In gay confujlun with
Iowa mud.
This ia the grandest reception we have
had, not excepting New York City. The
Interest taken in this race la amusing to
me. I have never seen such enthusiasm. I
hope the same courtesy will be extended
the foreigners when they arrive, and I am
sure It will. H. il Fredericksen, the
Omaha agent for the Thomas cars, met us
twelve miles east of Omaha, and will
probably pilot us through to Cheyenne.
We start In the morning, after the gumbo
(Iowa mud) has been knocked off the car
and fresh tires put on. My trip, ends at
Cheyenne, which 1 regret, as I have long
fostered a great regard for my car, which
has stood the strain so well, and carried
us thus far In safety. I hate to leave "old
baby" and turn her over to strange hands,
although my rugged companion, George
Schuster, assures me that he wilt see she
is not mistreated.
Well. I want to get back to the subject
of Omaha. I have been here only a few
hours, and for the first time since leaving
New York I feel at home. The people of
Omaha have a way of taking you Into
their "bosom" that at once appeals to you
as sincere. The managers of the Hotel
Bchltts. Messrs. fhtlbln and Murphy, ex
tended the courtesy of their house to us,
and treated ua to the finest noonday re
past It hss been my fortune to partake of
since leaving i-nicago.
The secretaries of the Omaha club and
the Omaha Automobile club, L Moshan
and other officials, are preparing a ban
auet for this evening at the Hotel Rome.
and I anticipate a great time. Omaha has
declared a holiday for this afternoon, and
festivities are under way. Tmmrnse crowds
are forever following ua, and when we seek
a secluded nook for a moment's respite,
they still follow.
Captain Hans Hansen Joined us today
at Omaha and entoyed his first ride In the

(From a Ftaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, March 8.-(8peclal.)-It
has frequently been noted by the "old
timer" around Washington that the house
of representatives hss been sadly larking
In recent years In legislative characters.
John Finnerty and "Richelieu" Robinson,
Who twisted the tall of the British lion
regularly twice a week twenty odd years
sgo, have no counterparts today. James
Bel ford, "the red-hesded rooster of the
Rockies," ceased to gesticulate and shout
for the opening of the vaults of the treas
ury considerably more than a decade and
a half ago. Tim Campbell, who pathetic
ally asked, "What's the constitution got to
do wld a master betune friends?" has
gone to his fathers. "Pansy" Butler, who
designed an American flag with a field
full of pansles Instead of stars, with a
staff entwined with a rattlesnake, Is sell
ing patents out In Iowa. Rowland Mahajiy,
who swung Harvard college for Blaine
while the faculty was practically a unit
for Cleveland In '84, and who thereby won
a post as United States minister In Ecua
dor, has left his porly and Is now an
assistant to Attorney General Jackson In
New York. Tabor of Colorado, who served
thirty days, wore 1250 night gowns and
married his own wife over again to afford
holiday for "society," died yeara ago
practically a pauper. Frank Lawler, the
Rochester letter carrier, who won his way
to congress from one of tho Chicago dis
tricts, and Is said to have ordered a dosen
lobsters for a light lunch, has also passed
to his reward.
Kern Mad a Killing;.
Omar Madison Kern of Nebraska, who
came in on the populist wave, served three
terms, lived like a messenger, saved two-
thirds of his salary and all of his mileage
and stationery allowance. Is now living on
a 820,000 ranch In Colorado, paid for out
of the savings of six years' salary.
"Howdy" Martin of Texas, who blew out
the gas In his boarding house before he
had been In congress a week, la said to be
occupying a mansion up above, where arti
ficlal light Is unnecessary.
Miles Crowley, who tramped from Boston
to uaiveston. wnere he got a Job aa a
stevedore, and afterwards became cblef-of-
police and later a member of the house,
was shoveling coal ou a Yukon steamer at
last accounts.
Calamity Wcller, the Iowa, apostle of
pessimism left no successor when he passed
to the great beyond.
Singleton of Illinois was a "character,"
because he generally took everybody In the
house In tow on the last night of the ses
slon, and when properly primed he would
object strenuously to turning back the
clock In order to lengthen out the day a
few minutes.
Holman of Indiana, the "Great Objector,'
has an understudy In the person of Mann
of Illinois, but the Indtanian'a fame Is
still undimmcd.
Alaskan Originates Class.
But while there Is a great change In the
peculiarities of members of the popular
branch of congress a, a body, the old
timer haa to admit that Tom Cale of
Alaska is in a class by himself. Tom was
born in Vermont, of Irish ancestry- He
began life as a tln-peddler In northern
New York right through that region which
Fenimore Cooper made famous in the
Leatherstocklng tales, and where Irving
Bachelder haa mora recently carried the
novel reader in his story of Eben Holden
Later Tom "went west." He chopped wood
In northern Michigan, cut lumber In Wis
consln, tried cowpunchtng In the south
west, and later, with a pick, pan and
shovel, attempted to extract the auriferous
deposits of the Rockies and the Sierras,
Then, In '97. he Joined the throng which
swarmed Into the Klondike region.
At Dawson he picked up a partner whoso
name was Nelse. That Is. his first name
was Nelse. Tom never Inquired the last
name of his "pard." Such an Inquiry
wasn't always ethical In the upper Yukon
region ten years ago. They knew each
other as "Tom" and "Nelse" for three
long years. Their luck was poor and at
last they separated. Tom tried a hundred
different prospects, but Fortuna declined to
yield her charms to his persistency. But
he kept on trying. When his grub gave
out, he returned to the most promising
camp and earned another stake, chopping
cord wood, only to start out again to
tempt the fickle goddess once more.
This went on until the summer of 1908,
when his luck changed and the washings of
hia pan showed that he hsd at last found
"pay dirt." That same year the miners of
Alaska decided that they would have
something to say about the selection of the
delegate to congress, which had Just been
authorised. Tliey kicked at the regular
party nominees snd at a convention In
Juneau placed their own ticket In the field.
Waskey was named for the short term
and Cale for the Sixtieth congress. Both
were elected by majorities something above
the combined votes cast for their oppo
nents.
PelloOTshln ot Intimacy,
"The good fellowship existing among the
people of the great territory of the north,"
said Mr. Cale today, "is proverbial. But
It often hupnens thst partners who share
the same blanket for years never learn
each other's last names. Bill and Jack.
Bob and Sam, Hank and Tom work side
by side, sleep side by side and suffer to.
gether without consulting genealogy. That's
what happened In the case of Nelse Ras
mussen and myself. He was of Swedish
parentage and I of Irish extraction.
"After we split up on our partnership we
didn't met-t again for years. In the spring
of lMJti, after I bad been nominated for
congress, I Journeyed down tha Yukon to
Nonie, thence to Seattle, where I took
steamer for Skagway, and from there over
the pass to the headwaters of tha Yukon
down that stream again to Dawson and
then to Circle City. N lee was freighting
from Circle to Birch river and I hadn't
setn him for years. When we mrt you
may rest assured we were dee-llghted
Wliatentll are you doing here, NelseT'
inquired. 'I'm electioneering,' he "replied
'and why are you in this camp?' 'i am
electioneering, too,' I responded, 'but who
are you for? 'Jack Ronan, up on the
Birch, aaked me to do everything to help
elect Tom Cale to congress, and that's
why I am here,' was KeUe'i reply. 'And
who are you for?' he addxd.
"I told him that I also had an Interest
in the election of Tom Cale and that it
was In the interest of that statesman that
I hud Just made a circuit of some seven
or eight thousand milt. The delight of
my former partner was emphatic and gen
uine when he discovered thst once more
our interests were mutusl. He seemed so
surprised that I asked (knowing well what
the answer would te) 'Did you ever meet
Tom Csler
Ueinar snnarn t'vnats.
" 'I wouldn't know him from a Kodiak
Uar, but Jack Ronan say I j.- all right,
and that a good enough for me," rerlied
Nelse.
When I told him that I was Tom Cale
the subsequent proceedings almost ex
hausted tha supply of hootch and other
liquid refreshments. All of which goes
to show that It don't make any difference
what the last name of your partner may
be, so long aa he Is square and on the
level In Alaska.
'When I first came out," continued the
gray-whiskered pioneer, "I told the boys
here of the delight of the rlttsena of our
glorious territory over the fact that the
right ef franchise had been extended at
last to the Seward purchase. I Inci
dentally referred to a Pwedlsh-Amerlcan,
who walked sixty miles Into the Fox
river precinct, and when he reached the
polling place said: 'Al tank At vant a
Cale and Vaskey dtrket,' and then, after
having caet his ballot, pulled out his
poke' full of gold dust and opening It
Inquired 'How mooch Al owe?'
"Now let me give you another example
of tha innate honesty of the Alaskan.
Why, I believe that the glorious climate
of our territory would make the thief
on the cross an honest man after three
years. But to resume, as I frequently
hear my colleagues In the bouse say.
Last September, after a visit to my home
In Fairbanks, I came down the Yukon
to Nome to take a ateamer to Seattle
and to travel thence to Wisconsin, where
my family atlll reside. The steamers
carrying passengers and freight between
Seattle and Nome ere compelled to an
chor several miles off shore at Nome
and freight and paasengera are trans
ferred by lighters and launches. It was
cold, raw day when I got there and I
had no overcoat handy. I borrowed one
of Captain Conrad Selm, who haa been
twenty-four yeara on and around the
coast of Alaska. On the way out to the
steamer I took out a plug of tobacco
and bit off a cjjew. Inadvertently I
dropped the plug Into Selm a ovsreost
pocket and forgot all about it until about
two weeks ago. I sent the overcoat back
to the launch and a few days later Seim
found It. He couldn't rest until he had
returned that plug and he traveled 7,008
miles to bring It to me and here it la."
added the booster of Alaskan honesty as
ne neia up a tooth-marked plug of
navy and, turning his face to the man
behind the mahogany counter, he said:
l ll take a little Sheboygan on the aide.' "
MORTALITY INJJNITED STATES

Denth.
WASHINGTON, March 8. -The bureau of
tha census has Just published its seventh
annual report on mortality statistics, which
presents the figures for the calendar year
1908, together with comparative data for the
years 1902 to 1905, inclusive.
The bureau of the census is making earn
est efforts to increase the number of reg
istration states. It lias carried on a propa
ganda, In conformity with the expressed tie-
sire of congress, "to the end that the United
6tates may attain a complete and uniform
system of registration," not only of deaths,
but also of births returns of the latter be
ing now entirely lacking In these reports.
The total number of deaths reported for
the registration area for 1906 was 658,106, and
the death rate was 16.1, per 1,000 of popula
tion; the corresponding rate for 1906 was
16.2, and the annual average rate from 1801
to 1905 was 16.3. The annual average rate
for England and Wales during the same
period was 16; fox Scotland, 16.9; for Ire
land, 17.6; for Germany, 19 9, aul for
France, 19.1
'The comparison Of the death rata of this
aad other countries at the present time
with death rates of the same countries for
the last century shows upon what an era
of low mortality the world haa arrived.
Many of the former death rates were up
ward Of 29 per 1,000 of population. The ten
dency In the larger countries with a popu
lation similar to that or the United State
now seems toward an annual death rate of
about 15 per 1,000 or less.
Tha ratio of deaths of mslcs per l.rn
deaths mas slightly higher for 1906 than for
IP06, but this does not necessarily Indicate
that there was any Increase In relative
male mortality, since the population of the
new registration states In the registration
area for 1906 contained a higher proportion
of males than that of the old registration
states.
Tha caurss of deaths with their rates
to which twenty or more deatiis per
100,000 of population were attributed in
in 1906, ranked according to liie number
of deaths per 100,000, are as follows:
Tuberculosis of lungs lit. I
Pneumonia, Including; bronchopneu
monia 119.0
Heart dlaeaae lin.V
Diarrhoea and enteritis 1239
Violence l 120
Brlght's disease and bephrltls 9J t

Old age 34 I
Congenital debility 84 2
Typhoid fevir..,,, 81.2
Bronchitis J. t
Diphtheria and croup 28.1
Meningitis 25. f
The total number of deaths' In the entire
registration area for 1906 from all forms
of Violence was 49.552, corresponding to
a death rate of 120.9 per 190,000 of esti
mated population. This rate greatly ex
ceeded that of 1905 (111.9), or that of
any recent year. Of the total number
of death from this cause, 18. 68$ were
of males and 10.870 were of females!
Ths classification of these deaths Inte
accident, suicidal and homicidal is diffi
cult, owing to the fact that many deaths
are simply returned as resulting from
"carbolic acid," "pistol shot," etc.
The death rate from suicide apparently
howed a large Increase for each year
of the period from 1902 to 1905 and a
decrease for 1906. The number of sul
cides In 1906, returned as suicides, was
8,863, of which 4.621 were of males and
1,123 of females. The largest number
ef male suicides for any five-year age
period were of the age period of 35 to
39, and the largest number of female
suicides were of the age period of 25
to 29.
Deathe from acrldestal traumatisms
numbered 20,842, snd the rate was 60.8
per 100,000 of population; the correspond.
