but his staff requires not his presence
to give them nerve, muscle or brains;
all are men OF great experience in their
various departments. Mr. John Bews
is foreman, and what Jack does not
know about mining is not worth ac-
quiring; he moves quietly around the
works and at glance intuitively sees
that everything is done in frst-class
style. A look from him has more effect
than an hours profanity.
Mr. Joseph L. Moore is boss of the
hoisting and pumping machinery and
has demonstrated his efficiency by the
manner in which he has handled the
big pump when all others had failed to
work it. All difficulties vanished with

The millwrights have at their head,
Mr.. j. G. Davies, millwright of great

He is a very pleasant gentleman and it
is to be hoped he will have more mills

more value than the plaudits of tickle

CHERRY CHEEK ITEMS.

Mrs. Charles Odgers and daughter
Ella were visiting their friends in town
this week.
1t matters not the state of the wealth
er or condition of the roads, the stage
from Aurum run by Mr.. Matt Bassett
is always sharp on time.
Mr.. l. II. Chase arrived from Salt
Lake City, Monday, and laid over a
few days to attend to his business here.
Geo. Dale brought us four-horse
load of apples from Currant Creek
which sold readily and George took
orders for another load.
From well authenticated sources we
learn that in running the tunnel of the
Black Metal mine owned by Messrs.
Bews and Blair, some very high grade
ore was uncovered In the bottom of the
tunnel.
Every week shows Improvement in
the ore body of the Old Imperial mine.
People breathe easier since the arrest
of one and the hasty departure of
others of gang of thieves who have
infested our town for some months, but
the jail should be repaired for all that.
The constable states he would have
made many arrests had the jail been fit
to confine prisoner. Get move on,
Messrs. Commissioners. Our popula-
tion is increasing and some hard cases
come among us. 1t will cost the county
less to confine criminals than to shoot
or hang them.

Interesting Sketch of the Author of
the Popular Hymn.
London Sunday Magazine

The recent proposal to celebrate the asso-
citation, of Augustus Montague Toplady
the author of Rock of Ages" once more
on the borders of the living land. In truth
there is some need to have the name of
Toplady recalled to us, for, although every
body knows his famous hymn, the man
himself is all but forgotten Yet Toplady
was notable character in the theological
circles of his time. Toplady was the son
of a majo in the army and was born in
174O, at Farnham, in Surrey. His father
was Killed at the siege of Carthagena. be-
fore the boy was year old, and the future
preacher was thus left solely to the care
of his widowed mother-a sister. by the
way. of Rev. Mr.. Bate, the rector Of St
Pauls Deptford. Like Charles Wesley he
was a pupil at Westminster School from
which he passed in due time to Trinity
College. Dublin his mother having removed
to Ireland. According to Toplady's own
account, his conversion was brought about
when he was only sixteen by hearing a
workingman preacher named Morris in a
barn al a place called Codymain. He died
of consumption in 1878.
TOplady. besides being a laborious stu
dent, had early employed himself in the
diversion of verseTnaking. Indeed he
printed little volume in Dublin in 1859,
when he was only nineteen Later on
while at Broad Hembury he issued a col
lection of no fewer than 419 psalms and
hymns. for public and private worship -
a considerable number of which were from
his own pen There are something like 133
hymns attributed to Topady. but only a
very few of these have attained to any
thing, like popularity. Indeed if we except
Rock of Ages. Your Harps Ye Tren1-
bling Saints" and. perhaps ''Obiect of Nv
First Desire, we shall be safe in savin !,
that Topady's hymns have quite passed
into oblivion or at least are remembered
only by the curious in such matters.
Curiously enough. this favorite HYMN
was written by Toplady for a CONTROVERSY
purpose. and it was the Wesleys against
whose doctrines the author desired 10 pro

FALL CREEK CROWDS.
Thousands Sought Relief There from
Last Nights Heat.

The Fall-creek resorts prohted last night
by the hot weather, and it was livelier out
there than down town. The bull frogs in
the creek bottoms couldn't be heard at any
time, for on both sides of the creek there
was music all the night. AT Fairbank there
were several thousand people. An actual
count of the bicycles checked showed /, 100

HOW TO OBTAIN SLEEP.
DIR. j. Il. Lenrned's Cure for the In
sanity-Producing Insomnia.

chicago llIueS-I1eIdlu.
The discovery of a new cure for insomnia
is an event that is attracting wide atten-
ton among physicians. Hardly any dls-
cOvery would be of more importance TO
the human race. Insomnia is an ainlcuon
TO which a large portion of the human fam
lily is heir. Sometimes il is hereditary, but
generally is the result of some minor
trouble. Unless relief is founo the dfIIic-
ton becomes worse, and from loss OF a Few
hours repose each night the malady eX-
tends to a whole night and in desperation
the sufferer seeks a drug to do the work
that nature refuses to perform.
Sleep is the great recuperator of the
weary body and brain Without it insanity
comes and the torture of the inquisition
never racked the body or drove the victim
to such extremity as lack of sound and
peaceful sleep One of the rehnemeHeS or
torture is to prevent sleep from visiting the
weary brain. and there is a story or ma
lignant jailer who drove his prisoner to
Redistribution by never permitting him to
sleep. Guards were instructed to wake the
wretched victim each time that he fell into
an exhausted slumber. There are thou
sands who can tino no sleep unless a drug
is used.
At the convention of the American Med
ical Association in Philadelphia recently
DR.. J. b. Learned of Northampton, Mass,
described a method of cure for insomnia or
sleeplessness that is almost amusing in its
simplicity, but to the victims OF this phys

he had spent years in experimenting upon
himself, having been a sufferer from in

Without rising from bed gymnastics can
be performed that bring sleep and no COM
motion whatever is required. The doctor
explained a series of motions: none of them

and muscle in activity, and said that any
one could induce sleep by carrying out his

New York Independent.

The question is more or less being dis
cussed whether we have too many minis
tiers. and here and there we hear a sugges-
ton that young men be dissuaded from en-
tering the profession because there are
now more ministers than will supply the
churches. The spirit of the suggestion is
very much like chat of the labor unions
which forbid a man to apprentice his own
son to his own business Tor fear the bust
ness will be too crowded. Pretty much
every business is overcrowded There are
more lawyers, more teachers. more car
penters more engineers more tramps than
there would be room for If every one We're
provided with employment to I'LL his time
But that is no proof that there is not
abundance of room for new applicants.
Many a man crowds into a business or
which he is not competent, and it would be
to the advantage OF the world If he We're
crowded out of il. A good farmer may
make a very poor minister, and 1t would
be to the advantage of the world if the
poor minister were to become good farm
er or insurance agent. The road out Of a
profession should be made as easy as the
road into it. This may be hard for the
poor minister. but il is a blessing to the
churches There is room enough for good
men; none too many good ministers for
the churches.

One of the most famous poems of the
