Scientific Reasons fsr Sleeping ut Right
Aagles to the Equasee.
A doc or says: There is no doubt
in my mind but that the belief that
human beings should sleep with their
bodies lying north and south, has Its
found alton in true scientific facts.
Each human system has two magnetic
poles-onc positive and one negative
Now. it is true that some persons
have the positive pole in the head and
tho negative pole in the feet and vice
versa. In order that the person sleep.
ing should be in perfect harmony with
the magnetic phenomena of the earth.
the head, If it possesses the posi-.
tive pole. should lie to the south.
or it the feet possess the posi-.
tive pole the head should lie
to the north. The positive pole
should always lie opposite to the mag
netic center Of the continent and thue
maintain magnetic equilibrium.
The positive pole of the person draws
one way. but the magnetic pole of the
earth draws the other way anil forces
the blood toward the feet, effects the
iron in the system, tones up the nerves
and makes sleep refreshing and invig-
Grating. But if the person sleeps the
wrong way, and fails to become mag
neiically enrapport with the earth. he
will then probably BIZ too magnetic.
and he will have a f.ver resulting
from the magnetic forces working Toe
fast. OF he will not be magnetic
enough, and the great strain will
cause feeling If lassitude. sleep will
not be refreshing. and in the
morning he will have no more
energy than there is in a cake
Of soap. Some persons may scofl
at these IDEAS. but the creates scien-
tific men OF the world have studied
the subject. Only recently the French
Academy f Science made experiments
upon the body of Il guilotined man.

Presidential Eiector.

The position of member of electoral
college is enc of honor. The elector
can but carry out the wishes OF his
constituency, and cast his vote for
the persons whom that constituency
wish for president and vice-president
We believe that such positions belong
to the old wheel horses of our party,
to such we propose our hearty sup
port. The sixth congressional dis
trict is entitled to ore presidential
elector, aed where, throughout the
district can be found a more fit, wOr-
thy and deserving aspirant, than our
fellow citizen, J. B. McGonigal. An
old soldier, he battled throughout the
war for the preservation of the union;
a tried republican, he has worked for
the party faithfully and efficiently in
each recurring campaign, since the
party was organized. A pioneer Kan
san, he is widely known as 4 repre-
sentative of our idea of western ener-
gy and progress. Thomas county
announces the candidacy of J. 3. Nc
Gonigal for the electoral college from
this district with pleasure, and be-
lieves that throughout the district will
ring cordial appreciation of his candi-
dacy.

There is city script outstanding

BY far the greater portion, viz:

Editor Tomlinson of the Topeka

lays of Clevelands popularity to
an interviewer:
''What did you learn in New York;
''That the President is immensely
unpopular. Bayard's foreign policy
has intensified the hostility of the
Irish voters, who believe
that it is English, and the best in
formed men in the Democratic party
there who are not blinded by Cleve-
lands patronage, admit that the de-
lection of Irish voters will be very
much larger than in 1884. Then the
insults to the soldiers in the pension

have turned the vetera ans against

serious detection in The states where
