APRIL's NEED OF SLEEP

Business Men, Over-Tired Housekeepsrs.
Teachers, 81 udents and Men and Women
In the Whiri of Society Lack Rest
Sweet sleep is natures soft nurse.
Half the fretfulness, sickness and COM
planning might be laid at the door of lack
of sleep.
There is not one man or woman in ten
thousand who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All the
stories about great men and women who
slept three or four hours a night make
very interesting reading but no one ever
kept health in body and mind with less
than seven hours sound sleep.
Americans need more sleep than they
are getting. This lack makes them thin
and nervous, weak and complaining.
But one cannot will ones self to sleep.
If sleep will not come, there is an evident
arrangement of the nervous system
The tired, WORKOUT nerves need better
nutrition to restore them to their healthy
tissue is what makes Paine's celery COM
pound SO prominently the great modern
nerve and blood remedy.
Sleep is the time of lowered expendi-
ture of nerve force and of increased re-
pair all over the body. Paine's celery
compound quiets the disturbed nervous
system, feeds its Impoverished tissues
and robs them of all irritability; sound,
refreshing sleep ensues and the tired. de-
sp2iring invalid starts at once on the way
to assured health and strength.
A freshness in the couutenance and an
absence of that panied, worn expression
comes after q short time taking faine's
celery compound. Neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, palpitation of the heart, headaches
and the host of discoura gIng signs of shat
tered nerves are banished by this great
remedy. 1t makes people we'll Stu
dents and teachers stand the fearful
strain of preparation for spring examina-
tions by building up the body, strength
ing the nerves and purifying the blood
with Paine's celery compound 1t gives
vigor to mind and body.

What has become of Frank Brogan?
The trades assembly kept him for two
weeks at Adams restaurant on East
Fourth street. He left there last Fri

on any of his friends who have done
much to keep him alive He has not
spoken TO any of the trades assem- bly,

Brogan has not found job yet, and
how he keeps from starving is a mystery
to those who are interested in him. Mr.
Adams says Brogan is as yet unable to
do, much work He expressed the con-
viction, however, that he Is a worthy

largely because he washed his hands

NEWS FROM NEARBY TOWNS.
Many Suits at San BernardinO
Against the. Sheep Men.
They Claim the Law in Dispute Is
Unconstitutional.
a jolly Crowd and Pleasant Day at
Santa Msnica-Local Matters OF
Interest with Personal
Mention.

SAN BERNARDNo, May 6.-There are
now pending in the courts about 40
cases, civil and criminal, against sheep
men for trying to evade license. These
cases are being vigorously defended by
he sheep men who claim that the ordin-
ance is unconstitutional and an unrea-
sonable interference with a legitimate
industry. On the other hand many
citizens contend the license ia consti-
tutional, legal and just and the sheep
men should be compelled to pay license.
1t is said the most OF them came iRto
this county about the fret Of March for
the purpose OF evading license in other
counties. That they drive from 10000
to 100, 1000 sheep over the public high
waya in the spring months, cutting up
roads and rendering them unfit for
travel. That in their passage through
the country the sheep trsmpls down and
destroy grass and plants of q useful or
ornamental character and even trespass
upon private property. That the sheep
eat up and destroy feed upon which
resident owners OF stock depend for GUS
tanning their herds. That the sheep do
great injury to the forest growth in the
mountains and impair the utility of the
watersheds supplying water to the
fruit colonies in the valleys below. That
in consideration OF these facts the sheep
men ought, in business to local and per-
manent residents of the county, to pay q
license and they are demanding of the
officers of the law an enforcement of the
county ordinance requiring q license OF
500 for each 1900 sheep. The courts
will shortly be occupied in the trial OF
these cases.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Representa a
.tives Lockwood, Tracey and other New
York members are closely watching the
barley item Of the tariff bill. and rely
ing mainly on Senator Murphy's famili-
arity with the brewing business to se-
cure an arrangement of the barley
schedule satisfactory to New York.
Several conferences have been had with
the senator, during which the barley
tariff has been discussed. The
New York brewers draw their
supply OF barley. from tho
great crops of Canada aud
with q nominal duty the eastern men
have a prospect of commanding the
brewery business OF the country. But
the western interests, particularly those
conferred at Milwaukee, St. Louis and
Cincinnati, draw their supplies mainly
from American farmers, and can get
along without a low duty on tho barley
of Canada. With the Canadian crop
kept out by high duty, the westerners
have O prospect of commanding the
market. The western men were well
satisfied with the high rate OF 40 per
cent fixed in the senate bill. but now
the eastern men are at work to bring
the rate down, and they feel they will
succeed.

CHINESE KEaIsrRArIoN.
From $50 to 500 fraudulent Certificates

From 900 to 800 Fraud ulent Csrtifc oates

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The internal
revenue officials have not received re-
ports from all the collectors charged
with the registration Of Chinese under
the exclusion act, but 1t Is expectei
final statement can be made very coon.
One matter that has given the collectors
o vast amount of trouble has bee ne

theue efforts havs in many ins -
been successful. In thickly pop III
portions where the collection de- 10

to O considerable extent. A China nan
living in New York City would have
no particular difficulty in registering
under another name in any one OF more
of the neighboring districts as photo
graph of one Chinamau might readily
pass for another, the fraud ia not ensily
detected. The duplicate certificates are
eaid to bring o good price among China
men who are not entitled to register,
and so the demand for them lie said to
be more or less lively. Under the law
those who register more than once can
be prosecuted for perjury, &c can their
witnesses, and it is the intention OF the
officials to keep q sharp lookout for such
violations OF the law. and If caught the
offenders will be vigorously prosecuted.
1t 10 believed the Implications will sg-
gregate anywhere from $50 to 500, or

HOUSE FORECAST.

Another Effort to DO Made to Pass the
New Mexico Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-This week in
the house promises to give opportunity
for another effort to admit New Mexico
to statehood. for a sharp contest over
purchasing new site for the govern
ment printing Office. and then for con-
sideration OF the remaining appropria-
ton bills on the calendar-navy, Indian
and agricultural.
Monday being individual suspension
day. permits bills to be called up In
regular order. The friends OF New
Mexico have long awaited this oppor-
tunity IA the new quorum-counting rule
gives them hope OF passing the bill.
The contest has assumed party aspect,
as Delegate Joseph OF New Mexico and
Others interested In the measure regard
the prospective state as surely Demo-
cratic. This may be Offset somewhat by
an effort to admit Oklahoma, which is
regarded as prospective Republican
state.
Representative Beakhead, chairman
OF the committee on public buildings
and grounds, has been promised Monday
fer the government printing Office bill.
The present Office is in such o rickety
and dangerous condition that speedy
removal is imperative. The main con-
test Is between the owners OF rival sites,
who have exerted strong influence for
the government purchase of their prop
critics.
1t ia expected that the naval appro.
priation bill be reached on Wednesday,
and Cts a N, H,n ,trn &C L.. II
committee thinks one day will be suHi-
Gent Tor the consideration and passage
of the measure. There ia a chance, how
ever, that an animated controversy may
arise ever the recent naval armor plate
frauds. The committee will not provoke
o contest, but there are membera out
side the committee who would like to
ventilate the whole subject on the floor
of the house. The navy bill coatains
few items OF general interest, no new
battle ships being authorized, and the
appropriations are mainly to the current
nesds OF the naval service.
The Indian appropriation will con-
sumo toe latter part Of the week. Chair
man Folman, who reported it, has in
augurated several features OF economy,
which reduce the total OF the bill about
&1,000.000 below the total of the pre-
vious year. This promises TO bring out
sharp comment. Representative Will
con OF Washington state is prepared to
see that the economic feature 10 not car
ried. Mr.. Wilson will present one
amendment of semi-politieal charac-
ter, providing that no appointments as
Indian agents shall be made, except

greatest trotting meeting in the coun-
try this year. The sixteen stakes for
trotters and pacere offered by the North
western Breeders' association have
closed with total of $40 nominations,
which is an average of over twenty
three to each event. While the Derby,

directors, the latter are determined to
carry the race through, anticipating
that 1t will prove euch novelty and
attraction that the citizens OF Chicago
will enjoy the sport.
Horaemen certainly will recognize the
fact that the association is very liberal
when it will offer stake OF this size to
