HOW TO INDUCE SLEEP.
Many Methods by which the DrOwsy God
May Be Wooed.

Many Methods by which the DrOwsy God
May Be Wooed.
One of the most effective inducers to
sleep is warm salt water bath taken
before retiring. This will almost always
put restless child to slumber if it is
well and if it is well fed after its bath
Sleeplessness in an adult is more difficult
to contend with. A warm salt bath may
not always act as quickly. but it is worth
trying; if there is any tendency to cold feet
put a warm bottle to the feet after bath
ing, and in many cases a restful sleep
will follow. II is far better to resort TO
every subterfuge to induce sleep before
resorting to any sleeping draught. Some
times a few crackers or something else
eaten just before retiring viii induce
sleep when nothing else will For this
purpose many people keep a cracker jar
in their rooms. The thin wafer crackers
are excellent for this purpose
For the dry, burning sensation in the
palms OF the hands and soles of the feet
which produces sleeplessness, sponge
them in ammonia and water or vinegar
and water. The continued dwelling on
certain thought may be of valne. A
frequent remedy of this kind is to i'm
agine an endless flock of sheep stepping
one by one over a st1le! The
continual monotony of the i'm
aginary movement win soon put a
wide awake person asleep. A famous
physician put his sleepless patients TO
drowsy slumber by any arrangement by
which they listened to the constant drop
ping of water, drop By drop, on metal.
II person is haDituaIy wakeful at night
it is wise to give up tea and coffee at
night, and drink in their place a bowl of
fresh milk heated quite hot.

THE WICHITA & SURURRAN.

The Wichita & Suburban railway COM
pany got in their dynamos today. Their
line is nearly complete now to the end of
the line at Paramount. Poles and side
wires are all up. They have adopted the
Sprague system, which stands equal to
none and is the leading line in eastern
cities, they having purchased all the Edi-
son patents.
The Wichita & Suburban company are
arranging for four vistibule cars, to be
built at once. These cars will be of an
improved pattern, with smoking car at
tached The company will in few days
start at work remodeling and repainting
all of its present cars SO that when the new
service is put on everything will be the
same as new.
The Wichita & Suburban has acquired a
good reputation for good and efficient SER
vice and intend to spare no expense to a
continuance of the same
The electric motors are so horse power
and each motor will be able to pull three
or four cars loaded full to the top of Fair
mount hill.
The Central Avenue & Eastern line will
be taken hold of at an early date and is
only waiting now the completion of the
new bridge on Central avenue across CHS
holm creek.
The two lines taken together contain
about Is miles and the track and rolling
stock will be the best There is a valu-
able franchise and the company deserves
the highest success for the energy it has
displayed.

TIE WILSON CASE.

Perhaps no trial has been watched with
greater interest than that of Frank E.
Wilson, recently convicted of the murder
of Mrs. Bertha Miller, in the district
court The evidence in the case is circum-
stantial and was strengthened by the pris-
oner's confessions. A great difference Of
opinion prevails as to Wilson's guilt, al
though nearly everybody agrees that Will
son knows more of the affair than has yet
come to the surface. The jury brought in
a verdict in short order of murder in the
first degree and motion for a new trial
on the usual grounds that the verdict was
not in accordance with the law and the
evidence was oyerruled. Wilson's attor-
neys, Sturdevant & Sturdevant. have ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court, and
during the tendency Of the suit under the
new law Wilson will remain an inmate of
the county jail, thus postponing his trip
10 the pen where he was sentenced to re-
main one year previous to hanging.

WHOLESALE WICHITA.
Kansas City Dealers Being Left, and Other
Pointers.

The wholesaling interests of Wichita are
spreading, undeniably reaching out. and
towns which two or three years ago were
talking of rivaling this point in the job
bing trade are now seeking alliances with
US. but transaction occurred yesterday
in this city consisting of an order made
upon one Of our wholesale houses which
may we'll set Kansas City 60 thinking. A
large bill of goods was bought by retail
merchant who does business in town not
forty miles distant from Kansas City.
The name of the man who made the pur-
chase is j. p. Hines, and his place of bust
ness Paola, Kansas. The stock was pur-
chased of the Wichita Produce
and Supply company. Mr. Hines
having heard that Wichita han
died more fruits last year than any
point in the west, three firms having
handled over five hundred car loads each,
came down to investigate. He says he
found prices not only lower, but the goods
fresher, better boxed aid more carefully
packed and preserved than those of any
house in Kansas City.
In this connection it can now be an
nounced that two very strong jobbing
Hills nave IudUc arrangements 10 put III
heavy stocks of goods at Wichita within
the next ninety days. One of the firms is
from the south and has an established
trade all over Texas, the Indian territory
and western Arkansas, in fact whose
name is almost household word among
the dealers of the towns
in the territory mentioned. The other is
western firm of standing with capital and
experience enough to hold it's own with
any competition. As for other lines. in
fact the trade of all the jobbing firms of
the city is rapidly expanding, not only in
the towns of southern Kansas, but I'M
questionably Wichita is in the lead in Ok
lahoma One of our furniture dealers, Mr..
Emo, says that the demand from Oklaho-
ma on his house for ordinary knock down
furniture, mattresses ETC., has been Won
derful. The Wichita vinegar factoty
shipped one car load of vinegar on Tuesday
and full car load of cider on "Wednesday
of ninety barrels each to Oklahoma besides
one hundred barrels the week previous,
making in ten days by this one firm two
hundred and eighty barrels of vinegar and
cider all of their own manufacture What
is true of the above firms is more or less
true of dozens of others.

For the EAGLE.
IN MEMORY OF LITTLE HATTIE.
Ask why JOY is given
TIL home is heaven on earth!
Till every nook is ringing
With blue eyed fairy's mirth.
Ask where the dainty darling
Found the tendril vine
To weave her little heart strings
So closely in with thine.
Ask why the chain is riven-
Snap't till broken heart
Clings to white-robed angel
And bids world depart.
Ask if the little spirit
The soul that hath been this day
Could be obscured forever
As it left the miniature clay.
Ask-but we hear no answer;
Inscrutible ways are those;
One by one we shall learn what now
The Great Creator knows
While mem'ry clings to the cunning way:
The face and the form we mourn,
Our weakness may seek that hereafter
Which. mayhap, Our strength would
scorn. BETH.

on them. The last few days the jointists
had presumed on little let up in vigil

Mr.. Mathewson seemed to think that the
job of closing the joints etfectualIy was
impracticable until there was some legis-
lation to shut off the wholesale business.
Both gentlemen were willing to lay the
matter over for advisement.
