De Killed in case of disturbance. A fight
followed in which many shots were ex
changed: Some of the moonshiners were
wounded, three of the officers horses
were shot down and several cattle in the
mountains were killed by the flying bull

were placed at great disadvantage, and
reailzlng that they could not accomplish
thelr purpose, they retreated and gave I'M
the fight entirely.
Inc conflict was reported to the office

called together. The number included

Mr. Bryan says he is not bothering
about New York Democrats, and that
everything will come out all right. This
in connection with his stay in that State
and the partial canvass he intends to
make, shows that he believes there will
be no serious split among the Democrats
of the Empire State, Notwithstanding the
disaffection of few of the leaders. Re
publicans and extremists among the
gold Democrats affected to believe at first
that he had injured himself by his New
York city speech, but in view of the cor
dial reception he is meeting with in the
interior of the State they have been COM
PEELED to modify their claims greatly in
this regard The silver sentiment is
strong in the rural districts of New York,
and with the recent developments among
Delaware Democrats proves that there is
not near the disaffection in the party in the
Northeastern States that has been claim
ed. Then too so far as New York is con-
cerned, Mr.. Bryan's visit has greatly
strengthened his cause. The people there
no longer believe he is revolutionary in
feeling, or that his election would in any
sense endanger the existing condition of
affairs in the country generally, as was
claimed by the Eastern press Immediate
ly after his nomination.

to Washington to-day after visit to
President Cleveland at Gray Gables.
Several other members of the Cabinet have

BY far the most important compen-
sation for all effects of fatigue is sleep.
Everybody, even the man mentally most
inert, develops when awake mass of
mental effort which he cannot afford
continuously witholt suffering We
need, therefore, regularly recurring PEE
rfods in which the. consumption of mem
tai force shall be slower than the con-
tinuous replacement. The lower the
degree; to which the activity OF the
brain sinks, then, the more rapid and
more complete the recovery.
The mental Yigor of most men is usu-
ally maintained at certain height for
the longest time in the forenoon. The
evidences of fatigue come on later at
this time of day than in the evening,
when the store of force in our brain
has been already considerably drawn
upon by the whole days work. If no
recovery by sleep is enjoyed, or it is inn
perfect, the consequences will inyari-
ably make themselves evident the next
day in depression Of mental vigor as
we'll as in rise in the personal sus-
ceptibility to fatigue. The rapidity
with which one Of the persons experi-
1nented upon could perform his tasks

could dGect the effects Of keeping HIM
self awake all night in gradual de-
crease Of yigor lasting through four
days. This observation was all the
more surprising, because the subject
