Quay IL the Man They Want.

From the Indianapolis News.
Matthew Stanley Quay fears that cor
rupt methods may be employed with the
republican legislators of Pennsylvania to
defeat his reelection to the United States
senate. He speaks with righteous scorn
of 'bargain-counter Methods" which evil

not think any republican In Pennsylvania
could be bribed to vote against so good
and great a man as Quay. He is the kind
OF a man Pennsylvania likes. His char
acter has been perfectly well known for
years.

S|eep|essness
ESPECIALLY FREQUENT IN HIGH ATTITUDES,
How il May be Overcome in Any Climate.
From The ChieHain, Pueblo, Col.

While the Rocky Mountain region is
justly famed for its salubrious climate, and
is becoming more and more the mecca toward
which pilgrims are travelling from all parts
of the world that they may fill their weaken
ed lungs with its lite-giving air. yet there
are ailments III that climate as in any other
one Of the chief of which is sleeplessness.
This is due to the rarity of the air which on
some constitutions is too stimulating to the
nerves. In some cases patients are COM
pelled to remove for time to the sea level
to escape the high nervous strain. AS sleep
lessness is not an uncommon accompaniment
to certain nervous conditions lin any clim-
ate) the story of woman of Pueblo, Col,
may point q moral to others, who have had
O similar affliction.
The woman came to Pueblo thirty years
ago, when the town was q frontier settle
ment, and Indians were by no means un-
usual visitors, bands of Ute's often passing
through on their way from the mountains
down to the plains to hunt butfalOes.
She had been in good health, until few
years ago when at each recurring spring
guild. Her strength left her, she was lstless
and lifelcss. This, too in spite of the stimu-
lating effects of the high altitude. The most
serious difficulty however, was sleepessness,
which she could not cure. The long weary
watches of the night tcld on her health and
she dreaded the approach Of night. This
lack of sleep weakened her strength and
brought on extreme nervousness, until she
was physical wreck.
AS she could not well take the long jour
ney necessary TO a change Of climate, she
sought for some nerve restorative, that would
build up the nervous system, and thus ena-

This constitutes his entire outfit.
There was no evidence of any
floor, and the place was Uttered
with hay, twigs and rubbish OF
all kinds, and we were greatly
impressed with the sad condition
in which this old man preferred
to live. While there we had pho
tographs taken Of the log hut

we have had cuts made that we
hope will, in part, convey to the
reader some idea of how this old
man lives.

poor management. While he
has relatives who are willing and
well able to care for him, his
pride, independence and prefer
ence for such a life as he is now
living keeps him here, where he
continues to live in the manner
which we have described.
We would suggest that the old
settlers, at their coming meeting,
take this mans case in hand and
see that some provision is made
whereby he can and will be suit
ably cared for. If something is
not done for him soon it will be
only a matter of time when he
will meet death either by fire,
cold or, possibly, starvation. He
prefers this life Or death rather
than the disgrace of closing his
days at the poor farm.
Friends interested themselves III
this man last summer, fitted him
out with new clothing and a
ticket to relatives in Illinois,
sending him there, where they
hoped he would be properly cared
for in his remaining days. He
was contented only a few weeks,
