A man passes a restless, sleepless night,
gets up dull and headachey in the morning,
goes to the breakfast table without an ap-
petite, bolts what little he does eat and
rushes away 10 business. He is drowsy
and nervous by turns all day and forces
himself to work against his will. He takes
five minutes for lunch and not minute 10
rest afterward. He goes home at night
utterly tagged out and with no appetite for
supper. The idea of taking medicine or
even taking little rest never enters his
head. Some night his wife finds him n
the rocking chair before the fireplace

State Treasurer Herriott's Advice t? the
Appropriations Committee.

State Treasurer Herriott's Advice to the
Appropriations Committee.
DIES MONIES, Feb. 1O.-State Treas
arer Herriott transmitted an important
communication to the appropriations
committee and thesam was considered
with deep interest by the gentlemen
upon whom devolves the task of saying
lust how much each of the state insti-
buttons shall receive from the state. 1t
will be seen by the treasurer's state
ment that the total revenue covered
into the state treasury in 1897 was
some 1874, 900 more than in 1896, Also
it will be seen that according to his
estimate there will come into the
treasury the present year some 100000
more than was received in 1896. But
the treasurer asserts that all this will
be absorbed in redeeming warrants
outstanding and unpaid for want OF
funds, and he cautions the committee
against extraordinary appropriations.
If such a course is to be followed it
will be necessary to increase the tax
levies. There will be a falling off in
the states revenues in 1900, for the rea-
son that, beginning next year, the
assessed value of property will be
returned at rs per cent of its actual
market value.

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT

DIES MONIES. Feb. Give United
States patents prepared and prosecuted
Nv us were issued this week. Three
allowed, but not yet issued, as follows:
ToJ. Stroud, of Patton, for draft
attachment for vehicles that allows the
horse in the shafts to walk at one side
Of the central line of advance, same as
horses do when two are hitched on the
opposite sides of pole.
10 G.. II. Cook. of Des Moines, for n
Logging in the form Of an open-ended
boot leg with elastic cores in the sides
and lower end to facilitate stretching
and adjusting.
TO r. Robinson, of Des Moines, for a
railway rail joint. Each of the abut-
ting ends of the rails is cut off
liagonally from the base to the center
Of the head and splice plate has an
integral head fitted to the inclined
faces of the ends to produce continuity
of track and to serve as solid support
for the tread of wheels and the weight
of a locomotive and cars as they pass
over the joint.
It is the duty of examiners in the
United States patent Office to make
objections and refuse claims for
patents ss often as they can find good
reason for doing so, and the duty of an
attorney to overcome all objections
raised, if it is possible to do SO. BY
the joint efforts of an examiner and an
attorney, in a contest for a patent all
the objections are made that probably
can be made before a patent is allowed,
so that when it is issued it will stand
trial for validity in the courts.
Valuable information about obtain
ing, valuing and selling patents sent
free to any address.

Michigan to Send rs, 900 Men to Alaska.
CHICAGO, Feb. s.-Figures gathered
by the Times Herald show that the
Klondike fever is the raging epidemic
in the middle western states. 1t is
estimated on an absolutely accurate
basis that at least $4,000 men in Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and
Michigan are planning to 60 to the
Yukon this spring. The estimate is
built upon reports that 2,114 have
actually bought tickets and secured
their implements and outfits. This
company of argonauts is ready to start
this week or next, and certainly before
the month is up. Iowa leads the list
Information comes from Des Moines
that fully 10000 men in the state have
declared their Klondike intentions.
The exodus from Iowa during the
coming few days will be 2s5 at the
lowest figure. Illinois cities have
reported that 7O4 will leave before ten
days are up, excluding the big aelega-
lion from Chicago. Indiana will start
'o4, Michigan 277, and Wisconsin 600.
There is nothing of uncertainty in
;hesc figures. The messages which
brought them also give the names and
addresses of the explorers.

Wheat reached its highest point in
years last week on the Chicago mar
ket, selling at $l:1O a bushel.- There Is
growing belief that this figure will
be surpassed by May wheat. Septem-
ber wheat. touched $1.05. December
reached $1.09 and january added an
other cent Friday OF last week, with
two more days to beat this record.
Everything points to great scarcity
abroad, and the suspicion is growing
that SO much wheat has been exported
as to leave no surplus at home. Ex-
perts submit the following figures:
Wheat crop raised in United States last
year government estimate, 53o,000, 900
bushels; left over from previous crop,
100000 bushels; total available, $780,
900, 900 bushels; exported since July l..
145,G00,000 bushels; consumption to
July /, 1898 government estimate), 340,-
600, 900 bushels: seed, 100000 BUSH
els; total, 545.000,o bushels; balance
left over, 100000 bushels. Not less
than 100000 bushels Of wheat are
now owned by Joseph Letter. who de-
ciares that his wheat is worth not less
than 1925 a bushel. Ii. IL.

KANSAS AFTER RAILROADS.

Legislature to Pass u Bill Comforting
judicial Powers Upon Commissioners.
TOPEKA, Kansas, Feb. Shedding
populists declare that a special session
of the legislature to pass railroad
bill comforting judicial powers on the
state board of railroad commissioners
will be called by Governor Leedy
March /. 1t is learned that Lcedy
already has pledges from twenty-seven
of the forty state senator's, and assur-
ances from fifty-six of the 1875 members
of the house that they will vote for his
bill. The governor says he will know
within ten days just how many votes
he can rely upon. The railroad repre-
sentatives will make no effort to pre-
vent the enactment of such law, rely
ing upon the federal courts to overturn
it as unconstitutional. A measure pro-
viding for state insurance will also be
one of the bills considered.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Judge Dewey
decided case that will attract the
attention of the legal fraternity all
over Iowa. It is the first case of the
kind ever tried in the state. Last
summer Rev. Mr.. Hyatt and wife were
drowned while out boating, and the
question arose as to who would inherit
the husbands life insurance. His
mother sued the life insurance COM
pany and Judge Dewey decided the
case in her favor, holding that the
death of Rev. Mr.. Hyatt and wife
occurred simultaneously, and, there
fore, neither side inherited as survivor,
in which case the husbands heirs in
herited the insurance. 1t being the
first case of its kind in Iowa, it will be
appealed, and as leading case" will
attract attention throughout the
United States. Only two similar cases
are on record, one in Pennsylvania and
one in MARYLAND.

How Killed by Collar Button.

FoRr DODGE, Feb. 9.-The 11-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Tomlinson,
of this city, met with strange and
sudden death. About o'clock he hap
pened to put common bone collar
button in his mouth and in some way
it slipped down, entering his epiglottis
and catching in the vocal cords in such
a way that it could not be dislodged for
several hours. After it had finally
been removed the boy seemed to i'm
prove, excepting that the presence of
the foreign substance in his throat had
so disturbed the delicate membranes
that inflammation set in. About mid
night he called for drink of water.
It was given him. He took a few
swallows and Immediately his throat
pulled up, and in few moments he
was dead, dying not from the button
itself. but strangling from sudden
swelling of the membranes. 1t is a
case such as is seldom met with by the
medical fraternity.

Reform.

Promotes New Plan ZOE EAAsnoA"A
Reform.
FAIRFIELD, Feb. 10-1n an address on
the financial question Ex-Governor Boles
submitted new plan for currency REFORM
He took strong ground against the power
to issue notes being given to banks. hH'.
ing gone on record in favor Of u national
currency, Mr.. Boies offers plan by which,
he thinks, sound, elastic, conVenlen'
national circulation can be maintained. he
would not retire dollar OF the present
national currency, and would change IL
only in making it oil redeemable IN Inc
same manner. His method OF redemption
would break tho endless chain, that con
slant menace to the treasury gold reserve
and the stability of the government
finances, and would eliminate the fiat ele-
ment from all money. Here Is the plan,
expressed in brief form:
/. Maintain in the treasury for the
redemption of outstanding United States
and treasury notes, bullion to the Market
value of % per cent Of the aggregate face
value OF these notes, one,half to be IN goia'
deemablc after three days of grace, in gold
or silver, at the governments option, bul.
lion at its market value. On the day OF
redemption, purchase, in open market,
bullion to the value of that required for tho
redemption of the notes deposited.
2. When gold or silver bullion is present.
ed at the treasury, issue to the deposition
certificate, expressed in dollars, for the
amount at the market price. Make these
certificates, not the bullion they represent,
full legal tender and provide for the reis-
sue on demand.
8. Preserve the present silver coinage
and silver certificates and increase their
volume as occasion requires. Give them
the full field for minor transactions by re-
firing all other coins and bills of less de-
nomination than $40.
It is claimed in behalf of the system out
lined that the reserve provided is as large
as that required Of any solvent bank and
this nation is as sound as any bank. Bull
lion received at the treasury would furn-
ish constant means of increasing the cur
rency four-fold without impairing the re-
serve. The country, with its treasury fill
ed with bullion, would be able to preserve
peace because it would always be prepared
for war; The treasury would not be raided
of gold because silver might be offered in
stead and, further, because gold would at
no time be worth more than gold in the
market. Mining would be stimulated by
furnishing a standard market for bullion.

An Athens dispatch says the Turks,

ported that in the neighborhood Of
Palaeokastron the Turks were repuls-

|ALL OVER THE WORLD
LETTER BY pUPUY DE LONE

Spanish Minister Charged With Hesping
Abuse ON Americans.
New YORK, Feb. 1O.-A remarkable
letter has been given out by the mem
bers of the Cuban junta here. 1t is
alleged to be written by the Spanish
minister in Washington, Senior Dupuy
de- LONE. It is addressed to Jose Can
,lejas, the we'll known Spanish editor,
who was on visit of inspection to
Cuba and was stopping at the Hotel
[ngletera in Havana, where the letter
was addressed. After reviewing the
situation in Cuba, it says: "The presi-
dents message has undeceived the
insurgents, who expected something
else, and has paralyzed the action OF
congress, but 1 consider it bad. Besides
the natural and inevitable coarseness
with which he repeats all that the
press and public has said of Spain and
Weyler, it shows once more what
Mckinley is-weak and catering to the
rabble, and, besides, low politician,
who desires to leave a door open to me
and to stand we'll with the jingoes OF
party" The letter was stolen from
Canalcjas's papers by Cuban, who
carried it to New York.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-The anthem
ticity oil the De LONE letter was at
first questioned. Later, however,
when the Spanish minister did not
deny writing it, Minister Woodford, at
Madrid, was communicated with, and
it is believed the passport of De LONE
will be demanded at once. The letter
has created an immense sensation in
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Enrique Du-
puy de LONE is no longer Spanish min
lister to the United States government.
He cabled his resignation of the post
to Madrid upon making the discovery
that his letter to Senior Canalejas, re-
aecting upon President Mckinley, had
been published. TO Assistant Secre-
tary of State Day Senior De LONE adj
mitted that he had penned the note,
whcrcupon the department wired
Minister Woodford, at Madrid, direct
ing that he demand from the Spanish
government the recall of Senior De
Lone. It is said that Senior De LONE
will abandon the diplomatic service
and seek political preferment in Spain.
MADRID, Feb. 11.-At the meeting of
the cabinet it was decided to accept
the resignation and De LONE was tele-
graphed to that effect, at the same
SINE putting the first secretary of the
legation in charge for the time being.
