JENKINS DREAM OF DEATH.
The Wallingford Murderer Must
 Have Been q Madman.

Have Been Mau1nan.
 Among the effects of Solon c. Jen- kins, the Wallingford murderer who committed suicide in the county jail at New Haven yesterday, were found many notes and letters referring in part or in whole to his crime and the causes which led to it. In them he charges his wife with improper conduct with Hartford policeman, a Hartford shirt manufac- turer and New Britain physician. He asserts that she led fast life. He con- fesses he killed Stephen Anthony, and asks that he be given a decent burial, saying that he committed suicide to save the state expense.
 The most remarkable document was written by Jenkins few days ago and after reading it one can hardly agree with the officials as to Jenkins sanity!

A False Alarm.

Hafer, all of Pennington township,
when investigated is found to be
wholly untrue Mrs. b. and daughter
were going east, having become tired
Of Sully county prairie life, and fearing
that Mr. b. would object, in his absence
hired Mr.. Hafer to drive Il team for
them until another team and driver
could be found, which he did, return
ing to his hone the same day. On
Mr.. Bailey's return home he found his
wife gone. He then went to Onida
and secured warrant for her arrest,
supposing she had eloped, which was
placed in the hands of Constable Cole,
who found Mrs. b, accompanied by the
little girl, at Harold, and brought her
to Omda, where on Saturday the case
was dismissed on the grounds of no
cause of action, and she again started
for the east, after assuring her husband
that herself and daughter would return
in Il few weeks. Thus endeth the Suily
county elopement case and all parties
concerned are placed in their true light
before their fellow men.

Something About Dyspepsia.

Chronic dyspepsia is functional, not an
organic, disorder. II the eye could look
within The stomach, in the latter case, it
would see no explanation of the trouble, us in
the case of organic diseases.
At least five kinds of fluid cooperate in the
digestive process; saliva, gastric juice, bile,
pancrcHtic fluid and intestinal secretons. H.
digestion, therefore, does not necessarily have
its seat in the stomach.
Two forms of it are especially recognized
gastric THAT of the stomach) and intestinal
Each form has two prominent varieties one
in which the food is really digested while the
person has great sense Of discomfort; the
other, in which the food is not duly digested,
while the person has comparatively little suf-
iering. In the first variety there is an abnor-
nal cXctabiity of the nerves of sensation.
This is known AS nervous dyspepsia.
The more common causes Of dyspepsia are
excuses in eating, neglect of physical excr.
else protractcd anxiety, change from an ac-
tive to II scdentary life, insufficient sleepand
luxurious living.
No treatment can here be described suited
to individual cases. The chief thing is to
find out and remove the cause An over
worked stomach should he relieved by Civ
ing it only the work which it can do easily,
'and by furnishing to it only that which is
easily digestcd. Everything that is possible
should he done to improve the general health.
Change OF locality and general Surroundings

Masonry n Life Work,

Free masonry is n life work. From the
moment the apprentice receives his first in.
structions concerning the erection of his
Masonic cdifice he is to be engaged in Master
building until his life here ceases. He is not
to labor for few years in the quarrics or in
middle chambers or in the sanctum, sane
forum, but is to work until the cupstonc is
laid, and all the ornaments of the temple he
is erecting are finished and fixed The ash
lar must be finished as n perfect one ere he
can rest
How many Craftsmen forget this, and lay
aside their working tools ere their labor is
half completed ? How many, weary in well
doing, lay by the way How many fail to
attain the crown because not faithful unto
death? All need to be often reminded of the
great need ofperseverance unto the end, rs
their work must be perfect TO pass the test
of the unerring square and be awarded n
place in the eternal temple

An Amusing Punishment.

Years ago Lewis Holt kept roadside inn
in Suffolk, England, and had way which
men ofhis persuasion have not altogether
abandoned, of taking the money of passen-
gers sweeping it into his ill., and fumbling
after the change till the coach was off, when
The passenger would have to run and leave
his money. Charlie Dean stepped out of the
coach one day, took n shilling's worth of
brandy hot, and laid down crown piece,
which Holt dropped into his till and went
hunting to get out the change.
Away went the coach, and Charlie Jumped
ON without his change; but he had time to
read the name of Lewis Holt over the door,
and, making n note of it, rode on. Postage
was high in those days, and was not required
in advance. From London he wrote letter
to Holt:
"SclI brandy and water at five shillings a
glass, will you?"
Holt paid II shilling postage on this letter,
and two more on one sent in an envelope,
for there was double postage in those days,
and for two or three years he kept getting let
tiers from his unknown customer and would
have got more to this day, but for the penny
postage stamps coming into operation. He
had 10 pay Two or three pounds in postage
before the letters ceased to come, and rs they
were always directed in n fresh handwriting,
he hoped each one was of more Importance
than the one before.

Finer than SILK.

A writer says Servants must remember
that even good housekeeping is not one of
the fine arts, but merely an occupation, II
trade, if you please" Then must servants
remember something nobody else knew. If
keeping house well furnished, swept, and
garnishcd, fires lighted and lamps trimmed
and burning, linen room full and larder
stocked, three meals daily, well cooked and
on time, on SD week, isn't n fine art-if it
isn't finer art than fid ling or painting, then
