Crowd of Newsboys Grow 1 Wild and
Four Are Dead.
Indianapolis. Ind.. April is. Prin
zied by a false alarm of fire, seveial
hundred eagt r newslun s si niggling to
obtain their share of free tickets to a
local theater which were being dis-
tributed by a traveling representative
of a patent medicine company, stam-
peded on a narrow stairway in the Mu
sonic Temple, Monday night, crushing
the life out of four boys and it believ-
ed fatally injuring several others.
Long before the time appointed for
the distribution'of the tickets the
stairs of the Masonic Temple, at tin
southwest- earner of Washington street
and Capitol avenue were- crowded'with
a pushing, yelling crowd of newsboy s,
each anxious to be tirst to receive bis
pass. When the distribution began the
excitement became more intense and
the efforts of t lie police were unit vail
ing.
It is alleged by a witness that one
j of the boys, in the endeavor to hasten
j the exit of others who hail received
J their phases, shouted “fire!” Inline
i dlately those at the top faced about-
and with almost superhuman strength
began to force their way to the bottom
of the stairs. Shrieks and physical
encounters followed for several sec-
onds, when from sonic cause those
near the top fell headlong upon tHe
struggling mass at the bottom. Imme-
diately policemen from the Central
station, who responded to a riot call,
began the work of rescue.
Four ot the I toy's were dead when
evf r'icated from their .position at the
bottom of the stairs. Others believed
to have been fatally crushed were tak-
en out as fast as tacy .could be disen-
gaged from I heir frenzied companions,
wltp fought and clung to each other in
despet al ion.

The case
was heard at Tyler, and the court oir

A Doctor'# Talk on Food.
There are no fairer sol of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and. man-
ly confession of the fact.
A case in point is that of an emi-
nent practitioner, one of the good
old school, who lives in Texas. His
plain, unvarnished tale needs no
dressing up:
“I had always had nn intense preju-
dice, which, I can now see was un-
warrantable and unreasonable, against
all muchly advertised foods. Hence,
I never read a line of the many ’ads.’
of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
"While in Corpus Christl for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, health-
iest little boys 1 ever saw. I ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for
supper ■ with my little grand-
sons. I became exceedingly fond
of -lt~ and have eaten a pack-
age of It every week since, and find it
a delicious, refreshing and strengthen-
ing food, leaving no ill effects whatever,
causing no eructations (with which I.
was formerly much troubled), no
sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress
of stomach in any way.
“There i# no other food that agree#
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly npon my stomach as this
doe#. I am stronger and more active
sine# I began the use of Grape-Nut#
than I have been for 10 years, and ami
no longer troubled with nausea and
Indigestion." Name given by Postuna
