What Can Fit Through n Mans
Brain In One Minute.
1t is very certain that the majority Of
dreams are only OF momentary duration,
though extended occasionally to the
length Of a minute
In proof of this DR.. SEolz tells the
following story from his experience;
After excessive bodily fatigue and a

and golden clouds floated around me.

To speak of a color blind artist sounds
like joking, said a noted %oculist; but,
strange as it seems, there are several
persons so affected who can nevertheless
paint extremely we'll. Numbers of color

A PRECEDENT WANTED.

The polygamous Cheyenne Indians

long been chatting under the restrictions
imposed by Uncle Sam and now pro.
pose to call in question his action II
the polygamous representative-elect
from Utah is admitted to congress. A
dispatch from Washington says: q
IF representative-elect S. H. Rob-
erts OF Utah is given a seat in the ma
ticnal house Of representatives, when
he may fail to secure because of his
having three wives, all of whom he
states he took unto himself before any
forbidding law went into effect, the
Cheyenne Indians will Immediately de-
nan a repeal of the order compelling
them to separate themselves from all
but one wife or forfeit their rations.
The order affected hundreds of Indians,
some OF the older ones having as high
as five and six spouses, each with her
children. The order seriously broke IN

number who now are only waiting re-
suits to either abandon hope in case his
seat is refused him, or to demand a re-
peal of the order at once If he is recog-
nized by the house. The plea put forth
BY the Indians against the carrying
u Of the order was the same as now
made by Mr.. Roberts, and in case he is
seated, the department will be in no
position to refuse the demand Of the
Indians, and the recall of so prominent
an order may result disastrously to the
influence Of the department with the
Indians. A commission of the Chey-
ennes are now in Washington, and al
though nothing has been said of the
matter there, or in fact at any place
save secretly, it has been found that
this is no small part OF their mission in
Washington. No action, however, is to
be taken by them, until the case OF Mr..
Roberts is decided by the house."

QUIET IN MANAGUA.


MANAGUA, Nicaragua. Nov. /, 1SsS.-
Everything is quiet, tfue giving hope for
the peaceful and successful continuation
of the new Central American Republic,
formed by the union of Nicaragua, Sal
vador and Honduras, which began it's
course asa nation today under the name
Of the United States of Central America.
It Is claimed, however, that the Com
missioners who organized the new govern
ment have lodged present great diff
culties and shifted them to the future for
disentanglement and solution, and that
they have ignored a fundamental part of
the Constitution by the unders tanding
said TO exist between the Commissioners
and the Governors OF the three States that
the government of the new republic will
not enforce the Constitutional provision
demanding from the governors the muni-
tions of war now belonging to each State.
1t is unders food that the generals in ac-
tive command of the armies of
each State Will be merely changed
and Instructed to noninally re-
port to the new government, while
actually they will remain unqer the con-
troll of the Governor Of each State. This
action is taken, it is asserted. because
the Governors cannot retain their posi-
tions and power without a comparatively
large army at their command
The army of Nicaragua has been large
ly increased in order that it may be ready
for any emergency.

TO PROTECT SCHOOL NO. l2 STATE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Finance Board Will Pass
the Emergency Resolu-
ton Today--Health
Precautions.

The Finance Board met last night.
The most important matter before the
Board was the emergency resolution of
the Board of Education, asking for 81 400
with which to construct an Independent
sewer from School No. u to the main
sewer in Communipaw avenue. The res
olution has been concurred in by the
Board of Aldermen and 1t has the ap-
proval of Mayor Hoos.
The Finance Commissioners considered
the request in executive session. but for
some reason did not act ON it. The Board
meets again this afternoon and there is
possibility that some arrangement will
be made for the raising of the required
sum.
The construction of the Independent
sewer is considered necessity by the
health officials, by the Street and Water
Commissioners and by the Mayor. The
prevalence of diphtheria and other con-
tagious diseases among the pupils has
alarmed the officials and they charge its
existence to bad drainage and a spring
under the basement floor, which was not
known until week ago, when Health
Inspector BENJAMIN discovered it.
The construction of a sewer will, it is

the school, particularly if the work is
done without delay. The refusal of the
Finance Board to provide for the pay
ment of the work complicates matters
greatly and unless the required relief is
forthcoming today the whole school may
be closed.
The only means of raising money at
this time is on temporary loan bonds,
and the members of the Finance Board
are opposed to that policy.
Mayor Hoos is also on record as
against the issue of temporary bonds,
but in this instance he is willing to waive
his objections. There is too much at
stake. he says. to bubble at this time.
The Mayor is just as anxious as the
members of the Board of Education or
the health officers to have the building
put in a sanitary condition, no matter
what the cost may be-
Health Inspector BENJAMIN said TINS
morning that the city physicians have
the disease under control The only
method he contends, OF preventing dis
ease in the building in future is by build
ing the proposed sewer and providing
proper drainage.

pupils as a whole are a different class
from what attend the other public instl-
tutions. Inspector Benjamin maintains
in a large measure responsible for the
