TRUE PHYSICAL TEST.
The softest Bed Not Always the Best Aid
to Comfort.

Soh'es1 heo Not Always the Best Aid
to Comfort.
There is an old story of an Indian
and a ''paie-face, who, after long
days journey, lay down in a deserted
cabin at nightfall to rest The
Indian, wrapping himself in his
blanket stretched himself on the
floor of the cabin, with his feet to
the fire, and was soon asleep. His
companion, meantime, has espied a
feather bed in another room, and con-
graduating himself on his discovery
jumped in and was soon in dOze.
With the first rays of the morning
light the indian rose refreshed, and
ready for the days task. He went to
arouse his cOmrade, when To- he found
him dead from the exhaustion Of the
previous day.
Luxurious repose is never true
physical rest.
To enjoy that blessing to its fullest
extent, freedom from restraint must
be allowed every part Of the body. A
firm surface is reQuired-One that
will tend to keep the body stretched
out at full length, that the lungs and
heart may feel no sense of restriction
by compression Of the cheSt-walls,
and that the blood may have unin-
terrupted course in every direction.
We should never be guilty Of sup
posing that the person whom we saw
sitting in a chair, with his chin lress-
ing on his sunken chest, was enjoying
true physical rest no matter how
fast asleep he might appear to be.
The tendency Of the body to CRAWL
tate toward the lowest part OF a
feather-bed is beyond remedy.
In this position the whole sbody is
often so curled up that no one part is
free from construction. The chest
walls are caved in, and the whole
body suffers from the consequent lack
OF proper UxygenatiOn Of the blood
and the restriction which is placed
upon its general circulation. The
blood moves sluggiShly, and as a re-
suit the condition OF fat and labby"
is superinduced.
This condition is never likely to
follow the constant use Of firm hair
mattress, for the blood has no chance
TO get dropSical from too sluggish a
circulat on.
Perfect physical repose, like perfect
physical activity, is dependent upon
a proper equilibrium Of the bodily
functions during slumber.
The story Of the Indian and the
white man might easily have been
founded on fact Youths COmpan.

of new territory to be taken from san

upon a course Of action to be pursued in
the matter of subdivision which is to
come up for action before the present ses-
sion of the Legislature. AS stated sew
eral days ago in this paper Perris desired
TO become the county seat of new di-
vision in opposition to san JacintO and
Riverside. At the convention yesterday
1t was decided to withdraw the oppose
ton measure as far as Riverside is con-
cerned, and to support the Riverside bill
The legislators representing Perris have,
therefore, been instructed accordingly,
and Will work for proposition which
seems to be recognized as one of greater
merit.
Senator II. NJ. Streeter last evening re-
ceived telegram from the Secretary OF
the convention, which read as follows:
'Perlls unanimously adopts Riverside
County boundaries. The bill is a splen-
did one. Push it hard"
This message was received with high
degree OF satisfaction by the Riverside
delegation, and large number of San
Diego people who are firm supporters Of

benefit upon an extensive population, at
the present time are cut off from their
county seat by long journey through a

The ''Solid'' Eight Still Firm for
Gator.
The Peoples party Representatives
held another lengthy caucus last evening
at their headquarters in the Capital Hotel,
but the deliberations developed nothing
particularly new, and from present indi-
cations they seem in a fair way to stand
for Gator to the last, though they have
now but slim hopes of success, or of a
combination that will lead to the defeat
of some of their old enemies, which
amounts to the same thing.
For some reason they are bitterly op-
posed to the election of White and while
they prate ceaselessly of potent fealty
to the black-caped and curl-pated hero OF
half-a-dozen political parties, it is easy to
see immense possibilities in a fiirta-
ton with the other side. Why
this affiliation has not already been
effected was clearly explained in yester-
days issue of this paper. The Republi-
cans could not hold their people in line,
thus making a combination with the
POpulistS useless. Of course they DENY
that any such ombinatiOn was offered or
possible, but the Republican leaders
admit it and greatly regret their inability
to hold out for scheme that alone, of all
others proposed, promised at least
dozen of their men out for White and
the Peoples party members angry at what
they consider treachery, the Republicans
are indeed wallowing in the Slough Of
Despond. Soon after the caucus broke
up the ''solid eight met a committee of
White men and held long discussion on
the Senatorial question, concerning
which there is little to say, as
both sides were extremely reti-
cent as to the result. At
the conclusion of the conference
A. Bretz. representing the Peoples
party, from the Forty-seventh Assembly
District of Alameda, in an interview,
said: 1--WE are in the middle Of the road
as yet, and intend to remain their.
Neither Of the old parties can coax or
coerce us from position that we have
taken in the interest Of reform, which
means cleaner and more economical
administration Of the affairs Of govern
ment. We are going home with our
hands clean, whether we elect our man
or not. If the other people want to come
to us, well and good; we shall not 90 to
them. We are for Gator always. If we
can't have him, we will not repudiate our
platform by giving our support TO old
party candidates. We do not expect to
accomplish very much at this session.
but our time viii come one of these
days"
Concerning bills to be introduced, Mr..
Bretz said that he had several important
measures relating to the regulation of
foreign and domestic insurance. The
Populists will hold another caucus this
afternoon.

WHITE Is NOW SECURE.
NO FURTHER OPPOSITION TO THE

Jeremiah Lynch Takes His Followers
Into Whites Camp-Some Quiet
Conferences.

The Lynch boom has been put to death
by the hand of the man in whose name it
was organized and another link has been
added to the now perfect chain that binds
stephen NJ. White of Los Angeles to the
United States Senatorship.
This ripple-it was scarcely more than
a ripple-was the outcome of the Foote
withdrawal, and from this source got its
ephemeral life which was suddenly cut
short at an early hour yesterday morning.
constituting the final scene in a lengthy
conference between White and Lynch, in
which the latter has agreed to retire from
the contest with the rather empty honor
of complimentary vote.
THE ANTI-wHITEs.
When Foote drew off his forces, and
decided to support White, he left half a
dozen men who steadfastly refused to en-
list under the banner of the aspirant from
the southern citrus belt. With their hero
in the camp of the opposition, generously
aiding man whom he could not defeat.
and thus proving his splendid allegiance
TO party, those who refused to forget the
petty prejudices of factional strife and
follow their leader IN the interest of
White began to ask themselves a ques-
ton that has been oft repeated in the
present contest: Where are we at?''
They loudly declared that they would
not support the man from Southern Cali
fornia, even at the risk of losing the
election to a Republican, and when
Lynch appeared upon the scene with a
single follower they decided to join hands
with the lone star and organize an oppo-
sition boom.
After considerable argument-it is not
generally believed that any more potent
factor was used-four of them followed
their former captain into Whites camp.
This left Lynch two 'kickers" and one
genuine supporter.
ANOTHER CREvAssE.
The situation, however, did not long
remain at these figures. No sooner did
Whites people learn that the Lynch
agitation had assumed seriousness
worthy of considerstion-it was regarded
as huge joke up to Tuesday-than five
of them signi6ed their intention to desert
him, and openly boasted of their de-
termination to support Lynch.
Whites managers could not believe
this to be their decision, and had to 90 to
Lynch himself for a confirmation of the
report, which, to say the least, came in
the nature of a great surprise.
The five men referred to have been
warm supporters of White since the in
ception Of the contest, and their sudden
withdrawal has been matter of much
severe criticism among politicians, high
and low, irrespective OF party.
