wakeful and sleep refuses to visit him
He has passed his hundredth day and
night Today is his 104th. He says ten
days prior to the 27th day of Septem Der
he virtually got no sleep, his rest being
troubled with delirium and his eyes only
closing in sleep for titful moments.
So his sleeplessness really dates back
from September 21 But after Septem-
Der % no sleep at all has visited him.
He eats we'll, is able to work, and when
he lies down at night he rests well for an
hour or two, gets up and reads or en-
ploys his time for an hour or two, and
then lies down to rest for an hour or
two. But no sleep comes. He has fall
en- off about five pounds during his in
somnia.
His case is a strange one, but no more
so than several Others on record In
Parke county, near the little inland town
Of Bridgeton, resides young man named
Tom Watt, who aas not slept any for
years. He is now % years Of age, and
no sleep has visited his eyes for the past
IL years.

WILL PLAY A SOLO.

Louie Heck Will Play From the Stage
With RAILROAD Ticket Monday Night.
Louie Heck, the Topeka young man,
who is the musical director of the "Rail-
road Ticket company that will be at the
Grand Monday night, and to whose train
ing much of the success of the piece is
due. has consented at the request of sew
eral of his friends to play violin solo
on the stage that night. A lot of To-
peka people will be Interested in this.
1t is good that Mr.. Freeman's company
will return to Topeka for there were lots
of people who would like to see it again.
A good many said it was the best farce
comedy they had ever seen when it was
here two weeks ago. 1t is the same
comparatively, Porter and all.
Since Joseph jefferson retired from
the stage there are three great come
dams in America They are Russell,
Robson and Crane, and the greatest of
these is Russell
His pictures are hanging in the win
dows and on the billboards in Topeka
now and he is to be here Saturday nigh
at the Grand.
Mr. RusselPs company is not partic-
ularly large one, but it is q particularly
good one, and the name of Sol Smith
Russell itself is enough to bring out a
good house.
He will play one of the plays that has
made him famous, 1.-THE Poor Relation -
Murray and Mack, a farce comedy
team, that is rot quite new to the theater-
going public, will be at the Grand on
Tuesday night, the 9Th, in "Finnegan's
Ball" They are highly spoken of.
''The Dazzler" will be along on Friday
evening, the 18th.

IT is noted with some surprise that the
press of the state is rising in arms against
the irrigation scheme as proposed by
the committee which is preparing it for
action by the Legislature. This opposi-
ton is surprising because it comes from
Republican papers. Every live issue was
omitted from the Republican platform of
1894, except the one of irrigation, and on
this the party went before the people
and won q glorious victory. 1t is but fair
to suppose that the people of Kansas
wanted irrigation or they would not have
voted for ii. True, the bill proposed car
ries with it an appropriation of 100000,
but no one expected to accomplish any
thing in this line without expense Good
things generally come high. The time
has come when political parties and the
people should be taken at their words.
The party that promised irrigation should
provide for it, and as majority of the
people voted for it they should have it.
A much better way of accomplishing the
desired object than any yet suggested,
may be found, but that is matter of de-
tail. A system of bounties on irrigation
plants would probably find more favor
with she people than any other.

SHUTS OUT OUR CATTLE.
Belgium Has Closed Her Ports to
American Beef

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Nelson Morris has
received a cablegram from his agent at
Antwerp that the Belgian government
has prohibited the importation Of live
cattle from the Uaited States, on the
ground that pleuros pneumonia is preva-
lent in this country. This closes all the
ports of continental Europe against
American cattle and beef products, and
leaves to the exporter only the British
market. which 10 is present condition is
not dasira BILE one;
This is in addition to the embargo on
dressed beef and packed goods which
has been in force in most of the Euro
pean countries for some time. According
to Mr.. Morris, Belgium is merely follow
ing the lead of Austria, Germany, France
and other EuropeAn nations in taking
retaIiatory measures against the United
States for the abolition of the reciprocity
treaty under which their sugar industry
prospered.

CRANK AFTER MISS FAIR.
He is Haunting the Palace Hotel Wait
ing for Her to Arrive.

SAN Francisco, Jan. "A crank has
been haunting the Palace hotel day and
night waiting for Miss Virginia Fair to
arrive. He is roughly clad, and about
80 years old He says he has important
business with Miss FAN, but declines to
discuss its nature.
Charles L. Fairs legal advisers pro-
pose plan by which he can contest mis-
fathers will and not jeopardize his inter
ests by running foul of the forfeiture
clause. The scheme is for Mrs. Oelrichs
and Miss Fair to guarantee that if Char
lie loses the suit and forfeits his share,
they shall equally share with him the re-
naming two thirds of the trust revenue.
1t is thought Mrs. Oelrichs will not
like the idea of leaving the management
of the estate to the trustees.

THE State Federation of Labor will
ask the legislature to alter the eight
hour law so as to make it operative.
They say it has loop holes in it through
which the contractor escapes. That is
the trouble with nearly all the laws
passed They are so constructed that
the very men whom it is most desired to
re lch are the ones that evade them. There
have been SO many of this sort of laws
enacted that many people have come to
think that their enactment in this form
is not always without intention.

SENATOR STEWART says that the next
great political battle is to be fought be-

and the bimetallists, and that if the friends
of silver only get together and stick to-

time comes the announcement from
Governor Waite that the silver issue is
dead. He says it died last November
when the people repudiated it at the
polls This doeS not look like a getting

A Story of Eugene Field.

When Clara Louise Kellogg was in the zenith of her fame, Eugene Field accom- plished feat which was attained by no other St. Louis reporter, in that he gain ed at once her friendship and an inter- view. Miss Kellogg's mother accompa- nied her on all her tours and religions ly warded off newspaper men. One day Field called at the Lindell hotel and sent up his card Miss Kellogg mother entered the parlor and informed the nonchalant young man that her daugh- ter could not be seen. Field replied that he had not called as newspaper man, but as an amateur actor. Seating him. self at the piano, he sang two or three ballads and so charmed the old lady that she summoned her daughter, and the two spent the afternoon together in music. Ever after that Miss Kellogg never visited St. Louis without reeeiv- ing call from Eugene Field St. Louis Globe Democrat.

MOUND BUILDERS CORN.

After Burial For Centuries It Grows Like
 Seed Grain.
 A curious experiment. was made this summer by Charles Graham. nursery man of Ohio Falls, Ind, and the result lies upon the desk before your core spondent as he writes. Last year MT. A. A. Graham of Mount Vernon, Ind, made visit to the vicinity of Alton, Ills, and called upon friend who had just opened mound builders burial mound
 Upon the mound grew several large trees, among them an oak feet in diameter, and thus the age of the mound was established as considerable. In it were found the crumbling remains of bones, and among other utensils large pot, containing maize very much like our present common red corn. Of this MT. Graham secured several grains, and on returning home planted it. It grew, and the result was that he produced 8, strain of corn which is most likely tha ancestor of the corn we now cultivate.
 In spite of having been in the guaye AOl Col ltaiuiy nOt loos tilstu HUI E9aTS, 1U grew very rapidly and produced, 3. large, we'll shaped ear upon fairly tall stalk. The ear is we'll set. the grains being somewhat smaller than any of the pres ent varieties. except popcorn. In shape the grain resembles dried sweet corn, being rough and wrinkled In taste it is sweet and agreeable Indianapolis NaNvs

Colonel Ingersoll,s View of Christ.

The best that can be said about Christ is that nearly 19 centuries ago he was born in the land of Palestine, in country without wealth, without com merce, in the midst of people who knew nothing of the greater world-a people enslaved, crushed by the mighty power of Rome; that this babe, this child of poverty and want, grew to man. hood without education, knowing noth- ing of art or science, and at about the age of 30 began wandering about the hills and hamlets of his native land dis cussing with priests, talking with the poor and sorrowful, writing nothing, but leaving his words in the memory or forgetfulness of those to whom he spoke; that he attacked the religion of his time because it was cruel; that this ex- cited the hatred of those in power, and that Christ was arrested, tried and cruci- fed.
