There seems to exist some little mis-
understanding as to the requirements
of the acts under which candidates for
Office must file sworn statements Of
their election expenses. The law is
very plain in its terms and il doesn't
seem possible that anybody could mis-
construe 1t. It provides that each can
didate shall file q sworn statement Of
all his disbursements in and about the
campaign. Anything less than this is
an evasion of the law and subjects
the offender to . possible prosecution
for perjury. One of the items conspic-
uously entered in most of the state
ments Is postage. A stamp for cam
paign purposes is worth two cents, but
sometimes . one cent stamp is used.
This item 10 religiously accounted for
by the peoples party committee. But
IN not one Of the statements does an
item labeled "For drinks" anywhere
appear. 1t is not to be presumed that
all the candidates eschewed the social
indulgence so common to political ex-
elements. and yet not one Of them
charged up single dime for "sundries"
in their statements. Perhaps the ex-
cessive postage bills were Jumped off
90 as to include the cost of moisture
for sticking them, purchased At 10
cents per wet. At any rate it is noto-
riously true that cigars. cocktails and
chowder cut prominent figure in the
last campaign, but there is not soli-
tsry figure to show for them in the
statements. This ought to be looked
into.

The price of Bes- semer plates, 1. c. coke fnish-which is the standard grade-was $5.20 box in New York on Sept. 2S, while the cable from London reported the price there on the same grade to be twelve shillings or $29O.

Surprised Many But Does Not Surprise
 Us.

Mansfield, Ohio, is not large place, but it has certainly experienced a great sensation.
 The people are not done talking about it yet, and indeed it will furnish the subject for conversation for long time to come, as well as food for thought.
 Our correspondent, c. c. Coulter, who is a prominent and influential citi- zen of Mansfield and agent of the Rock ford, Ill, Silver Plate Go, has furnished us with the facts and details, which we are positive will prove most interesting to our readers.
 'I have brother, Harry B. Coulter, 21 years of ago." writes Mir Coulter, "who has never done a days work in his life; never ran ten rods in his life indeed could not even walk fast.
 "Heart disease was hls trouble. Last fall he got the Grip aud went down, down, down.

 "His stomach was almost as hard as a board. in fact, we gave up all hopes of his life.

Insomnia Is on the Increase.

Doctors say that insomnia is on the increase among us, and many of them attribute the difficulty experienced in wooing sleep to the habit of late hours and abbreviated slumbers into which so many fall in this age of breathless haste and dash. An American phy- sician asserts that nine hours out of the twenty-four should be passed in sleep by adults, though less are needed by the old A cup of hot milk, sweetened and favored with treshly-grated nutmeg, is recommended as a sedative. The same authority reminds us that the senses do not fall simultaneously into slumber. After the eyelids have closed the sight the sense of taste is the next to disap- pear, after which follow in their order smell, hearing and touch. The sense of smell is the last to awake, hearing being the earliest, after touch, to regain consciousness. As regards the muscles, the slumberous influence begins with the feet and gradually works it's way up to the center of nervous action, a fact which explains the often expert enced impossibility of sound sleep when the feet are cold or uncomfortably warm.
