Several weeks since some one stole a
valuable saddle, bride and pair of
blankets, the property of VIM. Lindsey,
from John Swank's stable, two miles
southeast of town. Through j. i.
Doyle the articles were heard of in the
possession of a young man named John
Loe, who Doyle had hired to work this
summer on the Comanche pool range in
the Territory. This week deputy U. S:
Marshal Weidner and John Swank went
out and arrested Loe and brought him
into the state when state warrant was
served on him. Yesterday he was ar
raigned before Justice McCandiess and
waived preliminary examination, when
he was remanded to Jail in default of
$500 bail. Loe admits taking the prop
erty and says lie did it because he had
no. money to buy saddle and without
one he could not get work. He claims
to be but IL years old, but he appears to
be at least twenty. lie is from Mill

Six thousand dollars was paid this
week by VIM. Boggs, of Oxford. Kans.,
to John Bebee for his farm of l54 acres,
one mile northeast of Medicine Lodge.
The trade was perfected by Morris 4
Tosil, real estate men of this city. 1t
establishes the fact that real estate
near Medicine Lodge is worth some
thing and that there is confidence in
the future of this town and county.
Mr.. Bebee is not to give possession I'M
til the 1st of next April. The purchas-
er expects to raise small fruits and veg
etables on his land, which is admirably
suited for the purpose, living stream
of pure water running through it. On
the place is comfortable brick house,
a nice orchard, and the entire enclosed
with substantial fence. Forty dol-
lars an acre is a good price.
This same gentleman purchased 1GC
acres of land from George L. Watts,
two miles west of Sharon, at $40 an acre.

Hutchinson News: The agent for
the Fairbanks Water works was in Il e
city last week interviewing our council
upon the question. He estimates that
it viii require from $685. J3 te Si0.010
to give style of works that will be
fully satisfactory. For that amount he
can give32 miles of pipe nd60 hydrants.
The pipe along Main street to be eight
inches and the side streets six inches.
This firm can furnish anything from a
81 900 to an $4,000 outfit. This matter
should be agitated by our people at once.
If there is any question that should call
for speedy settlement at the hands of
our people it is the water works ques-
ton. The entire city and especially
Main street, is exposed and inviting a
fire any moment. Ifanybody has better
schemes than water works for fire pro-
lection, let's hear from them.
Wellington Standard: AS per an
nouncement, Friday was the day set
to try the power of our water works. At
three O'Clock the hose were attached to
the hydrants on Marble and Press
block corners. Owing TO an unfavora-
BILE wind, the tank pressure did not
throw the water to as great height as
was expected. The greatest height as
thrown by the tank pressure was 10 feet.
After the tank test the hose company

How To Induce Sleep.

Until recently l have not been able
to secure much sleep on the first night
of railway journey, and 1t may be an
advantage to many travellers to know
how tho inability was overcome. An
excess Of blood in tic brain prevents
sleep. How to remove the surplus is
the problem for the unfortnnalrs WHO
wish to sleep but cannot. a pump is
needed for the purpose, and it may
easily be provided rs follows: Having
assumed the usual position of rcposc,
lnhalc and cXhalc slowly and steadily
long brcaths, dcvoting tho whole at
tcntion to making the inhalation and
exhalation of exactly the same length.
The length should be much greater
than that of ordinary breathing, al
though not sufficicntto disturb tho cir
culation by working the lungs to their
utmost capacity. Any person who
has force OF will enough TO concentrate
his whole attention on the maintenance
OF this styio Of breathing can compel
sleep III very unlavovabc circum-
stances, and victims of insomnia should
know it.
he value OF tho method IS not solely
in its holding the mind to ono object
OF thought, but the process of breath
ing here described is really equivalent
to the insertion OF 4 pump to draw oil
its excess Of blood. To convince your
self that this is SO, fill your lungs with
all the air that they will hold, and then
eXpel it, repeating the operation three
or four times as rapidly us possible,
the result will be u feeling OF faiutncss,
unless you are other than i'm ordinary
mortal, aud its cause will be def.
cheney OF blood in the brain, produced
by the pumping process. Such Vi
o!cnt breathing will noL. induce sleep,
however, us there is II reaction which
sends the lifc current rushing back &c
the scat of the mind. Scientists say
that tho reason why fear, surprise OF
any other sudden emotion often causes
faintncsS is because it rapidly drives
the blood from the brain, and the fact
is significant for those who wish TO un-
derstand how to induce sleep, whether
OH the railway train or il their beds ut
nome, by pumping tho cNccSs Of blood
from thcir brains by peculiar method
of breathing. -Ac.V lvrt 4HaW und Er-

An Old-I iUic Schoo!-MaS;cr.

A hundred and fifty years ago. among
the German settlers Of Pennsylvania
there was remarkable Old school
master, whose name WAS christopher
Dock. For three days he taught school
at little place called SKippack. and
then fN:s; the three next days he taugh,
-. .oaiiuru.
Whenever one of his younger schol-
ars succeeded in learning his \ b G.,
the good Christopher Dock required
tho father of his pupil to give his son a
penny, and also asked his mother to
cook two eggs for him rs 4 treat in
honor OF his diligence. TO poor chill
drcn in new country these were fine
rewards. AT various other points in
his progress. an Industrious child in
one of Docks schools received penny
fro m his father and two eggs cooked
by his mother. All this time he was
not counted q member of the school,
but only rs on probation. The day on
which II boy or girl began to read was
the great day. If the pupil had b on
diligcnt IN spelling, tho master, on tho
morning after the first reading day,
would give ticket carefully written
or illuminated with his own hand.
This read: "lndustrious- one penny" "
This showed that tho scholar was now
really received into the school.
There were no clocks or watches;
the children came to school ono after
another, taking thoir places near the
MASTER who sat writing. They spent
their time reading out of the Tcsta-
ment until all were there. But every
one who succeeded in reading his verse
without mistake stopped reading, and
came and sat at tho writing-table TO
write. The poor fellow who remained
last on tho bench was called n lazy
scholar.
The funniest of Dock s'rcwards was
that which he gave to those who mado
no mistake in their lessons. Hc marked

tho perfect scholar. Fancy what n
