The Election Contest.

In the testimony taken last week
before tue Commissioners, Hester
Hess, in the matter Of tie contested
election returns;-Mr. Daniel Il.
Arbucke, a minority judge of the
Fourth district stated that he assisted
in the counting of the votes cast and
several were couDted for the full
Democratic ticket on which the cross
bad been stamped opposite the name
of Marion DeKalb Smith, the can
didate for Comptroller. He knew of
only one ballot that had been count
ed for the Republican candidates
under the respective conditions.
The first ticket of this order was
Democratic and which Mr.. Arbuckle
objected counting as vote for each
of the candidates. He was over ruled
and it was agreed that all subsequent
ballots marked in that m amer should
be counted accordingly. The counsel
on both sides objected to this tes-
timony on the point of the witness
not haying the power to testify as to
the contents of ballot.
Mr.. Joseph E. Reynolds, return
Judge of the Seventh district upon
question stated that in his district,
in several instances. the intention of
the voter was considered in the
counting of the ballots but he was
uncertain as to whether the voters
intention had been rightly interpret
ed or not. In a number Of tickets
the cross was on the line between the
space opposite the party emblem and
that ofthe candidate for Comptroller.
Mr.. Reynolds explained that when
the cross was mostly on the comp
troller side, it was counted for that
candidate, while on the other hand
the vote was scored for the entire
ticket when the greater part of the
cross was on the party emblem side
of the line. These tickets were both
Democratic and Republican. The
judges testified that all ballots cast
in their respective districts were
placed in the ballot boxes, and upon
examination they pronounced the
boxes in the same condition az when
sealed and returned to the Clerk of
the Court on the ninth instant.
Mr.. Shippers testimoy. the return
judge OF the 9Th district was taken
on Monday and was the most i'm
portant in the case, 81 ballots we're
cast in that district which were re-
jected which if counted would have
given White the republican candidate
for sheriff plurality of l vote.

Mr.. J. P. Blaize, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the seyerest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that state during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday Rspiew.
Mr.. Blaize had occasion to drive several
miles during the storm and was SO
thoroughly chilled that he was unable
to get warm, and inside of an hour after
his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug
store and got bottle of Chamberlain 3
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took a number of large
doses. He says the effect was wonder
full and in a short time he was breath
ing quite easily. He kept on taking
the medicine and the next day was
able 10 come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize
regards his cure as simply wonderful.

HOW TO CURE INSOMNIA

You May Hypnotic Yourself to Sleep by
"Transixion."
One of the technical words used in sci
entific descriptions of the phenomenon Of
bypnotism is ''transfxion." This relates
to the position of the eyes just before
hypnotic sleep comes on, and it is be.
lieved, though not as yet fully explained
that in adjusting the eyes to this posi-.
ton some nerve center of the brain is
affected, producing an effect like switch.

unconsciousness follows almost in.
stantly.
1t is common observation among
nurses that babies "get cross eyed just
before they fall asleep" and this can be
easily verified wherever there is baby
in the house by closely watching the
eyes of the little one as they are closing
in sleep. Almost invariably the eyes
are directed inward and generally down.
ward, though sometimes upward. True
hypnotic sleep, if undisturbed by sug.
gestion, soon turns into what we call
natural sleep, as is shown by the
sleeper awakening refreshed, as from
natural sleep.
A writer who was formerly afflicted
with chronic insomnia effected a perma-
nent cure by means of what he terms
the hypnotic method, and gives his rec
ipe, with illustrations, for the benefit Of
the many sufferers from the tortures Of
prolonged wakefulness. Its worth may
be easily tested by any one with strong
will power. That many eminent men
Napoleon, Horace Greeley, William II.
Seward, for example-possessed the Sc
cret of going to sleep at will is well
known.
In using the following directions the
only caution necessary is that before the
hypnotic sleep merges into natural slum-
Der the sleeper is apt to answer uncon-
sciously any questions that may be
gently asked and thereby reveal secrets
that might perhaps cause domestic dis
turbance. But the innocent need have
no fears. Lie on your right side; close
the eyes gently; forget that the lids are
barriers to seeing, and turn your eyes
inward and downward so that you can
see your breath as if it were vapor leav-
ing the nostrils and curling off in the
air. Then watch it return up the nos
trils and then out again. Concentrate
your powers of vision until you seem ac-
tually to see this-then you are asleep.

OF the new Polish costumes. They differ in
many essentials from the Russian costume,
and to my taste are more graceful This
particular one was made Of thick camels
hair in indigo blue. The basque was tight
fitting and had dark blue collar bound
with gray fur astrakhan. 1t fastened on
the left side with frogs and loops. The
sleeves were of basket work in blue and
black. The skirt was demitrain, slashed
on each side over a velvet undersllirt, the
whole bound with gray astrakhan. The
hat was tricorne of dark blue velvet and

There is to be costume made in dark red,
