few applications of Chamberlain's Pain

dampen a piece OF flannel with the Pain

Victims of Insomnia Can Hypnotize
Themselves into Slumber.
I have a way OF putting myself to
sleep that has never failed. But, of
course, you wont pay any attention
to it because it'sso simple. However,
here it is:
Iclose my eyes lightly, and then
gently and gradually direct them up
ward, as if wanted to look into the
the interior OF my own skull. The
movement must be gentle and gradual
or the sudden strain on the nerves
will give you a headache, and some
times there mag be some slight dis
comfort on the first two or three
trials, but it wears off rapidly
Afteryou have retained your eyes in
that position for few moments you
feel yourself losing consciousness of
time and place and slowly slipping,
with delightful smoothness and a
kind OF dreamy softness, out OF the
present. | invariably have the one
sensation, that OF floating in a boat
on gently rocking pillows that are
moving easily away, says a writer in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The process is really kind OF self
hypnotism, and while you are per-
forming it your mind is unable to
take up any thread Of thought or
memory or present to itself any pict-
ure other than the one the process
itself supplies. 1t is very singular
thing, and l find that nearly all my
acquaintance can repeat after me the
self-hypnotic movement.

Notes From Eckelson.


EoKELsoN, N. D., Jan. 19.-This last
cold snap has run in all the threshing
crews till spring, it is thought. We are
having the ooldest weather since 1879
and 18SO-so people say here-but in
this vicinity it has not caused any dam.
age or trouble.
There has been band of antelope,
about fifty in number, around here for
two weeks past, and the people here
abouts have had treat in the way of
meat
We have new section foreman, Mr..
Botsford, from Tower city. He is dis
charging his duties faithfully. Our
old fore man has gone to Ireland.
Everything is progressing smoothly
in our postoffice, and our postmaster
says there has got to be change in
politics before he gets knocked out.
Money is plenty with all except those
who have not threshed. We have done
more business here than ever before.
Edward Thompson, owner and en-.
gineer of the threshing machine which
blew up on Nov. 3, is fast improving,
and will soon be in as good condition as
ever. His brother Alfred, who lost his
arm by being hit with o piece of the
flying boiler. is also getting along
nicely. This crew is considered one o1
ablest and best of the threshing crews
in Barnes county, but it seems that bad
luck has followed the family for some
time.
Our new county commissioner, Harry
Green, is attending to business and We
look for reform in our county dads. As
all of the board is new but one and all
have an eye to business, besides being
able farmers, it is expected that the
county affair will be conducted
in a manner satisfactory to all con-
cerned.

where he writes several psges of manu-

stopping now and then at one of the
desks to make alterations. After the
letter is made satisfactory to him be

window until LIE sees one of the CLERKS

Had 1t In for Germans.

New YORK, Jan. 1s.-Henry g. Dowd,
the mysterious parsonage who is known
as Jack the Slasher, +" whose arrest was
effected in this city on Sunday night,
has confessed some of his crimes to In
spector Byrnes. He said the impulse
to kill under certain circumstances was
uncomfortable. He said he wanted to
kill all the Germans A German had
once ravished his mother in her Brook.
lyn home. The face of the ravisher still
haunted him, and whenever, he saw q
man wholooked like the one he was pur-
suing he tried to kill him.
why did you kill Carson?" asked
Inspector Byrnes. HE was not Ger
man.
Il could not help it., was the reply.
Then said he quietly, 20, I did not do
it at ALL"
He comes of good family. His north
er's sister married Samuel N. Hoyt,
brother of the late Jesse Hoyt. the mil
lionaire whose will was stubbornly con-
tested by his daughter, Mary Irene
Hoyt. Samuel N. Hoyt livesin Brooklyn.
About fifteen years ago Dowd was
placed in the Flatbush asylum for the
insane, but he escaped. These facts
were obtained from the prisoners
brother, John J. Dowd, who is crank
suffering from religious mania. He was
also put under arrest.
Perhaps the strongest piece of evi-
dence against the slasher connecting him
with Carson's murder is the razor.
The coroners testified that Carson was
murdered with ragged. edged knife or
razor. Dowd's rszor was found to be
nicked here and there along the edge.
But there is still another remarkable
piece of evidence against Dowd. When
his coat and vest were removed blood
stains were found on his shirt. These
stains were not new and fresh and could
not have been blood from his victim of
this morning. He is stockily built, with
clean shaven face and dark complexion
and hair. One OF his brothers is said to
be fancy goods dealer in Boston.
