RIP VAN WIKELE'S RIVAL.
A MINNESOTA MAN WHO HAS BEEN
ASLEEP FOR SEVEN YEARS.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Utica (Mlnn.) has a curiosity IN
the person of Herman llarnes, who
has slept almost continually for the
last seven years. lie has been
visited by numerous physicians OF
Southern Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin, and there are almost as
many theories regarding the cause
of his condition as doctors who
have seen him. He has been treat
ed in a dozen different ways, but
no one has been able to break his
protracted slumber. Powerful
electric batteries have been APP
piled to his body, the only effect
being a contraction Of the muscles.
His aiIment is variOusly denOmi-
mated heart trouble, sOftening of
the brain, Brights disease of the
kidneys, and complication OF dis
eases, part of them resulting from
his protracted period of sOmno-
lence.
Harnes is now forty.nine years
old and ten years ago was a pros
porous farmer in st. Clair county,
Ill. At that time he was hale and
hearty, his weight being $50
pounds. In 1877 he was stricken
with fever and ague, and for three
years be was attended by one of
the best physicians of st. Louis,
who, however, was unable to effect
a cure. He was advised to try the
dry atmosphere of Minnesota, and
in the spring of 1880 moved to st.
Charles, WinOna county, whence he
was brought to Utica. y few
months after his arrival in this
State he fell asleep, and he has
lived in this strange condition for
more than seven years. In the
summer of 1881 he awoke one
morning, arose from his bed, put on
his clothes and went about his
work. Told that he had slumbered
four years, he grew indignant and
would not believe that he had slept
more than a night until led before
a mirror and shown his long black
hair and beard and sunken cheeks
and eyes. For a month his health
and habits seemed perfect. He
went to bed at the usual hour,
slept through the night and arose
with the lark.
In August, 1891, his wife, who
had GENE with him from Southarst,
G ermany, and who had borne him
five children, became very i'll, and
Harnes was obliged to deprive
himself of needed rest. One night
while taking her cup of tea he
suddenly fell asleep while walking,
dropped the cup, sank to the floor,
and had TO be carried to his bed,
from which he has never risen. He
lies on his back, breathes naturally,
and suffers little pain, but is vast
ing away. His weight is now less
than ninety pounds, and he is no
longer able to move himself I'm bed.
About eleven o'clock every evening
he awakes for five or six minutes,
during which time he is hurriedly
given a soft-bolled egg, a llttle
soup and a swallow or two OF
coffee, his only daily nourishment.
He is extremely nervous during
his brief intervals. but his con-
versatlon indicates that his mind is
not beclouded. No medicine has
passed his lips for two years. His
children are exceptionally bright
and healthy, none of them mani
testing in the slightest degree their
fathers disposition to sleep life
away.

An event occurred in San Qnln'
tin, Lower California, last week,
which was made an occasion OF
great Importance. A baby was
born. 1t was the first baby born
in the new settlement. The resi-
dents assembled in massmeeting,
and the result of their deliberations
was a set of resolutions to the effect
that the child should be called
Quintin Beaughardt, and that the
local land company should bestow
upon 1t any lot in the town
that its parents should select. IL
was also decided to further enconr'
age increasing the population by
awarding two lots for twins and a
whole block for triplets.

A Democratic idea is to the effect
that to get rid of the surplus it had
better be buried out OF sight. That

THE GRAIN EXCHANGE.
to Quash the Indictmen
Arxrrnd KaSf.fSlav.


Judge Gardeners attention was occupied yes
terday afternoon, in Department No. l. in hear
ing argument and evidence OF the motion to
quash the indictments found by the Grand Jury
against Nessrs Rodman a Schwartz Hon. 9.
II. White presented the case for Mesers. Rod
man & achvattz, and evidence was introduced
to show that one of the jurymen had been pre-
JUDGED against the Grain Exchange before the
mattel was heard by the Grand Jury, and that
he had acted with the rest of the jurymen, after
having made a personal investigation. Mr..
White held that Grand Juryman had no more
right to sit in Judgment in matter when pre-
JUDGED beforehand than had juryrnan in the
court room. In the latter case the de-
fendant would have the right to
challenge the .juryman, and the fact
that they had no chance to enter a challenge
before was sufficient TO give them the right to
demand that the indictment be quashed.
Another ground upon which he based his ac-
tion was the fact that the Grand Jurymen had
not seen the Indictment after it had been
drawn up by the District Attorney and there
fore did not know whether its contents were
what the jury had intended. Another ground
taken was that the names of all the witnesses
exemined by the Grand Jury were not on the
Indictment, as recognized by law, the name Of
Hon. ]. r.. Humphreys having been omitted.
Judge Gardiner took the matter under advise
ment, and will probably render decision to-
day.
