YUAN REPORTED TO HAVE AR
RANGED AN ARMISTICE.
WILL BE FOR TEN WEEKS
Chacs Reigns in Peking City, With
No Real Head of tho Government
in Evidence.
London.’—The Daily Telegraph’s Pe
king correspondent says he Is re
liably informed that Yuan Shi Kai
has practically arranged a ten weeks
armistice with the rebel generalissi
mo. This will permit Yuan to go im
mediately to Peking and form a cabi
net. He will also attempt to soive
the present confusion.
Peking—Yuan' Shi Kai still declines
to accept the premiership, although
assured of the support of the national
assembly and General Chaug, in com
mand of tbe Lanchau troops. Both
; the assembly and General Chang:
I however, insist that when the parlla
i ment is elected the premier shall be
chosen by that body.
In the meantime affairs here are
1 in a state of chaos. No tangible head
; of the government is visible. The gov
ernment urgently needs funds and
i hopes that the Franco-Belgian loan
will be forthcoming, to enable the
! military operations and the adminis
I traion to be carried on. The inter
national group refuses to supply war
funds. The government is urging tbe
group to advance money in order to
allay the threatened financial and
public deadlock in Peking, as it Is
feared that the noncirculation ol
money will cause serious hardships tc
the coolies and the lower classes,
which possibly might lead to locai
disturbances.
To this the group is inclined to ac
cede, although foreign commercial In
terests at Peking are inconsiderable
The question of tangible security ap
pears to be almost insurmountable, j
but the negotiations continue. The j
group insists that the funds be used j
for the purpose stated and suggests
that, if completed, the loan be hand- '
ed over to the local Chinese Chamber i
of Commerce, as was done at Shang- j
hai in the recent crisis.
The third division of the army sta i
tioned at Shang Hiing Fu is under or- <
ders to proceed to Lanchau, the gov
ernment evidently hoping that the
presence there of a loyal division
would have a salutary effect on Gen- j
eral Chang’s men. The transference '
of this division is now going on and
the attitude of the men is eagerly
awaited, as it will probably turn the
scales in north China. Elsewhere in
the north, excepting in Peking, the
soldiers generally sympathize witn .
the Lanchau movement.

GRAVE OF RICHARD GATUNG
Remains of Inventor of Famous Gun
Rest in Crown Hill Cemetery,
Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Ind.—Amid the fra
grance of grass and flowers and
capped by a beautiful monument the
mortal remains of Dr. Richard Gat
ling, inventor of the famous Gatling
gun, lie in Crown Hill cemetery. But
few people in this part of the state
know that in that western corner of
the cemetery back of the chapel is the
last resting place of the man who gave
to the powers the powerful medium
of .authority, the deadly Gatling.
Richard Gatiing made a fortune out
of the gun and died poor. “Like all
inventors," said Attorney John E. Dun
can, “Dr. Gatling had nothing when be
Dr. Gatling’s Tomb.
died, although he amassed a fortune
from his gun..’’ Mr. Duncan is a
nephew of the inventor. His mother
and Mrs. Gatling were sisters.
Dr. Gatling came to Indianapolis
when a young man. He invented the
first wheat drill, after which he en
tered the real estate business, dealing
in western lands. It was after tho
war he invented his gun. An unsuc
cessful effort was made by local men
to form a company and sell stock to
manufacture the gun. Finally Gatling
got the Colt people at Hartford, Conn.,
to manufacture the instrument This
took Gatling to Hartford. Later he
traveled through Europe and the pow
ers took up the gun immediately. It
proved its worth afterwards, particu
larly in the Boer war.
Gatling died in New York city about
three years ago. His remains were
brought to Indianapolis and the monu
ment was erected by his only living
child, Richard H. Gatling, a New York
city mortgage broker. Gatling was
born in North Carolina.

custom to set a plate of gingerbread
before him and then ply him with
what she called “ ’ligious ’spoundin's.’’
“Wha’ fo’ does de Lawd send epi
demics into de land?” she asked him
one day.
"When folks get so bad dey must be
removed, some of ’em, Sist’ Candace,
den de Lawd permits de coming ob an
epidemic,” said Mr. Jefferson, and
took a large bite of gingerbread.
“Uh-h!” said Aunt Candace. “Ef
dat’s so, how come de good people
gets removed along wid de bad ones?”
“De good ones are summoned fo’
witnesses," said Rev. Solon, fortified
in spirit and clarified in mind by the
gingerbread, although slighUy embar
rassed in his utterance. "De Lawd

It’s the Red Blood Corpuscles That
Proper Food Makes.
An Ohio woman says tirape-Nuts
food gave her good red blood and re
stored the roses of youth to a com
plexion that had been muddy and
blotchy. She says:
“For 10 years I had stomach trouble
which produced a breaking out on my
face. The doctors gave it a long Latin
name, but their medicines failed to
cure it. Along with this I had fre
quent headaches, nervousness and us
ually pain in my stomach after meals.
“I got disgusted with the drugs,
stopped them and coffee off short, and
quit eating everything but fruit ana
Grape-Nuts, with Postum for my table
beverage.
“The headaches, stomach trouble,
and nervous weakness disappeared al
most like magic, which showed that
when the cause was removed and
good food and drink used nature was
ready to help.
“My blood was purified and my com
plexion became like a young girl's,
while my weight was increased from
90 to 120 pounds in a few months—
good, solid firm flesh, where it used
to be soft and flabby.
“I recommended Grape-Nuts and
Postum to one of my friends, who was
afflicted as I had been. She followed
my advice and in a short time was re
stored to complete healtn and in about
8 months her weight increased from
100 to 148 pounds.
“Our doctor, observing the effect of
Grape^Nuts and Postum in our cases,
declared, the other day, that be would
hereafter prescribe these food prod
ucts for gastritis.” Name given by
