NERVOUS EXHAUSTION.

Extract from q Lecture by DR.. }. HI. KEEL
logg. OF the Battle Greek sanitarium.
A great many ladies suffer from nerv-
GUS exhaustion resulting from the de-
mands made upon them of fashionable
society. The various rounds of fashion
able designations which society" pre-
scribes is a constant source of nervous
prostration among its devotees. Nerv-
GUS prostration may be brought on by
lack of sufficient sleep, or by exhaust
ing the nervous system through excess
i've emotional excitement of one kind
aor another. It should be remembered
that nervous prostration is symptom,
not disease, and at the outset it may
be quickly cured by removing the cause.
The reading of exciting fictitious lit
erature is frequent cause of nervous
prostration. If person thinks that it
is no harm to read book of this char-
acter; if he says, 'Here is book of
mere trash which requires no mental
effort, and it is a mere pastime to read
it, he is entirely mistaken. The read
ing of a book which is simply amusing
and exciting, though often regarded as
a source of diversion to the mind, NAV
be really a source of nervous prostra-
| ton through undue excitement Of the
emotional nature. The reader has his
interest so thoroughly enlisted, and
| his sympathies too, that his brain be-
comes wearied through the excite
ment, and he fairly holds his breath
with anxiety in following the
thrilling scenes of the narrative. Tragic
events are described in such graphic
way that his heart beats rapidly and he
becomes so intently absorbed that he
does not know anything which is trans
piring around him; he hardly breathes
and sits as motionless as statue Yor
have all seen this and experienced it ii
yourselves, but you may not have real
lied what a great and needless expen
diture of nervous energy it is. All use
less expenditures of nervous vitality
should be avoided if one wishes to main
tain health, and one who is already al
invalid certainly can not afford any

more serious than has been made public.
Nothing, however, can be learned at his

CARTER AND THE CAAlRMANsHIE.

Republicans Generally Regard the Selee-
tiOn Good One.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The selection of
Mr.. Carter as Chairman of the Republican
National Committee is considered among
leading Republicans here as being q first
class choice and places at the helm man
thoroughly fitted for the great work be-
fore him
k,r. Carter is but SO years of age, having
been born in June Furnace, Scioto county,
Ohio, in 1854.
: In 1865 he moved to Pana, Ill, where
he lived till 1875 when he moved to Bur-
lington, Iowa. He studied law in Louis
will, KY, and Illinois, being admitted to
the bar in Nebraska. In 1884 he moved
to Helena, Montana, which is now his
home. He was elected Territorial delegate
to the Fifty first Congress as its first rep
resentative. He was renominated in 1890,
but was defeated. In March 1891, he was
appointed by President Harrison as United
States Land Commissioner
Mr.. Carter was one of the five men
originally suggested by President Harri-
son for the Office of Chairman when the
National Committee held its first session
in Washington three weeks ago. His name
was withdrawn from the consideration of
the Committee for two reasons. He had
arrived in Washington from Montana
WnlGner ne WenC 1mmeQ1aCely aICer the
Minneapolis Convention, only few hours
before the Committee met, and he said he
could not consent to be elected Chairman
without an opportunity to consider the
matter fully.
1t was held by many members of the
| Committee that under the rules it was
necessary to choose a Chairman from
| among the body of the Committees menu
| bership, and Mr.. Carter was not a member,
and in view of his personal objections to
taking the place he was finally permitted
to withdraw his name. Even then, how
ever, it was expected of him that he should
serve as Secretary, but in electing him to
the Craftsmanship the Committee achieved
| one of its earliest plans.
| When Mr.. Carter was asked if the &C
ceptance of the Craftsmanship entailed the
resignation of his position in the Land
Office, he replied: 81 shall resign at all
| events"
| The selection of Secretary will be made
within week, Mr.. Carter says.

Mrs. Hopfnger Aspired To Be Classed

Old Mr.. and Mrs. Hopfnger have re-
Gently moved to Chicago from Indiana.
A year ago they owned little stunted
patch of ground that barely afforded
them living, but the discovery of coal
and natural gas on their farm made
them wealthy, and they have come to
Chicago to see the world and spend
their money.
Mr.. Hopfnger cares more for pipe
and tobacco than he does for society,
but not so with his wife, although she
is not averse to taking Whit of the
weed. But she has fully made up
her mind to get into ''sasiety"
and see what it is like. She has been
reading the papers and studying up on
the subject. That she means to do
things in the proper manner was made
known by herself at grocery store
where she was doing some trading. She
wanted to buy some tea.
What kind will you have?" asked the
grocer.
Give o'clock tea," she replied.
"What kind?" repeated the grocer.
Give o'clock tea," she said, with con-
siderable emphasis. ''Hain't We ever
been in sasiety? I'm goin' ter be some
of the big bugs O. yer town. and want
some of the five o'clock tea that sasiety
ladies always USE"

DEVICE FOR CLEANING WASTE PIPES.

DEVICE FOR CLEANING WASTE PIPES.
This invention is especially designed
to relieve the agony of those persons
suffering from stopped waste pipes,
whether it be the wash tub, sink, wash
bowl or bath tub. The device is con-
structed as follows: A semi-circular
cup is arranged on the end of the
handle; the cup is made of rubber and
has fange above it to keep it from
turning inside out, like an umbrella in
a gale. Water is run into the vessel to
be cleaned until it is about four inches
deep. The cup is then put over the
pipe, and q pressure exerted on the
handle forces the water under the cup
into the pipe.

KNIFE AND SCISSORS GRINDER.

Knives and scissors in a state of dull-
ness are the cause of much loss of time
and no little annoyance. The remedy
for this is a knife and scissors grinder,
which is shown herewith. According
to the originator of this machine, any
thing with cutting edge can be sharp
ened by anybody. AS an emery wheel,
it seems good one, but an emery wheel
at its best is poor thing to sharpen a
good knife on. The old-fashioned
grindstona is superior in every way.

JOHN M'CURDY'S GHOST.
HIS WIDOW SAYS THE SPECTRE HAUNTs
HER IN THE NIGHT TIME.

Strange Noises Heard About the House
Where the Great Tragedy Took Place.
The Shutters Rattle and All Kinds OF
outiandish and U earthly Sounds Dis
turb the Rspose Mrs. Moourdy.
Rumors are nov aflos I In the northern
part OF the city tuat Furnish plenty of
material for gossi ), and that have wroup ht
up the more 81 Jerstiti Gus element OF
society to high itch of mental excite
ment. II IL said nat the ghost Of John
w. McCurday, the plast, rer, who came TO
his death by his own hand under such
sensational circumstai ces some months
ago, is not content to remain upon the
other shore but that he has re- crossed the
great Stygian riven TO harrass mortals on
earth. As the report goes he makes
visits nightly to his old home at the north
end of Shorb street where he carries on
in most weird and soul rackinR fashion.
The authority for the rumors is none
other than the widow Of the deceased,
who IL will be remembered was the cause
of the great tragedy and who escaped
death at the hands Of her husband only
because her head was so bard that the
bullet from his revolver flattened out on
her skull. She now lives at the house
where the trouble occurred with no other
person about but her child and she
declares that the place is haunted. She
AYERS that peculiar and horrible noises
abound around the place with no visible
cause. The doors creak, rappings, are
heard, footsteps sound upon the
floors and other weird phenomena take
place that are sufil cient to strike
terror into the soul. Not only this but she
declares that she has seen the ghost of
her departed husband. The phantom
appears at the dead of night, according to
her story, and peers through the window,
rattles the shutters and otherwise bar
rasses her. Mrs, McCurdy reports that
these terrible experiences are almost
nightly In occurrence and so wrought up
has she become over the matter that il is
almost impossible for her TO sleep at all.
Whether John McCurdy's ghost does
come back TO haunt and terrorize bis
former wife or whether the experiences
are simply the result of strong mental
action induced by the thoughts of what
has gone before and by the surroundings,
the NEWS DEMOCRAT will not venture to
assert, but certain IL is that Mrs. McCurdy
has been highly wrought up over the
affair and there are many of the more
superstitious in the neiRhborhood who
would almost rather die than venture in
the region Of the McCurdy residence on a
dark night.
