TURNS HIM OVER IN BED.
A California Man Invents a Machine
to Prevent Insomnia

Oakland. Cal, Jan. 1.-Wa1ter Hyde of
Alameda has invented a continuance that
turns him over in bed once every hour
during the night When Mr.. Hyde retires
he winds up a clock attached to his bed
and regularly every hour when the clock
strikes the mattress is gently twisted in
such a manner as to cause the occupant
to roll over.
Mr. Hyde is a man of advanced age and
does not enjoy the best of health His
greatest physical inconvenience has been
an incomplete circulation of the blood
causing sleeplessness. If he remains in
one position for any length of time a
mild form of paralysis fellows and sleep
becomes hopeless. Being somewhat of a
mechanical turn of mind. Mr.. Hyde con-
cluded to experine Mt The result of his
tinkering and thinking is the mechanical
cOntrivance which hourly turns him over
without awakening him from his SUM
bers, and which he says works so charm
ingly that his paralysis with accompany
ing sleeplessnesS is a thing of the past.

PLAIN VOTING MACHINE.
Automatic Device Exhibited by A J.
Gillespie at the Sherman House.

Chicago. Jan. IA. J. Gillespie OF
Atlantic, Ia, who is stopping at the
Sherman House, yesterday eXhlblted at
the hotel the working model OF voting
machine for which he claims absolute
accuracy and the secrecy of the Aus
tralian ballot system. The mechanism
is contained in what appears to be an
ordinary voting booth. At the entrance
is a turnstile door pivoted in the CEN
ter Inside the registry chamber the
voter finds an Australian ballot before
him having a series of horizontal rods
passed over the ticket, one over each
office line Each rod has an indica-
tor ring fastened upon il. and by placing
this ring over a candidates name the
machine is set so as to register one
vote only for each candidate, and this Is
done by the act of the voter in leaving
the machine. When succeeding voter
enters he finds the indicators all re-
turned to an imperative position The
count for each candidate is scored IN
a concealed chamber in the rear OF the
booth The counters are all mounted
on a frame in the concealed chamber
This frame moves to and away from
the wall of the machine In the oper-
alton of setting the machine block
Is moved between the chamber and the
counter wall. This block operates the
counter and registers the vote.
The cost of the machine is less than
that of machines heretofore construct
ed being about $500, and Mr.. Gillespie
asserts that it's operation entirely oil

A Divorce Asked With Apparent
Good Reason.

Charles A. Smith, through his attor-
neys, Jetmore & Jetmore, has filed a
petition in the Shawnee county district
court asking for a divorce from his
wife Barbara. Smith. He states that
they were married al Kansas City, Mo-,
July IL, 1894. He claims that he has
always conducted himself as a dutiful
and loving husband and has supported
her.
Further he states that six months
after their marriage his wife became
morose and quarrelsome he states
she would talk in a disrespectful man
ner of the plaintiff to their neighbors,
at times calling him hard names and
using vulgar and unbecoming epithets
concerning him.
In his closing statement he saws that
on July 49, 1895, he and his wife went
TO Kansas City to see friends, and that
when it came time for them to leave he
could not find his wife. He had the
train held a few minutes and searched
Tor her. He says he found her in the
company of strange man acting in an
unbecoming manner, drinking whisky
ana under the influence of Intoxicating
liquors lie says he demonstrated with
her, but she only Knocked him They
nave had no children, and he asks for a
full divorce.
He owns small homestead and
household furniture, all of which he
prays the court to leave in his possess
sion.
