CERTAIN CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
Physical Exercise and Warm MIX Sue
csssfuI woeers of Sleep.

Insomnia is a self-infiicted curse
through the violation of natures laws"
writes Edward B. Warman in the June
Ladies Home Journal. THE cause may
be over-anxiety, planning for the morrow
thinking and worrying over the yester-
days and to-days, but no opiate can re
move the cause even though it may bring
sleep. If the cause is merely mental over
work it may be quickly removed by reliev-
ing the brain of the excess of blood. Ply
steal exercise is a panacea for about
every ailment which human flesh is heir
to, Therefore. stand erect, and rise
slowly from the heels; descend slowly,
Do this from 40 to so times until you feel
the congestion in the muscles of the leg
Almost instant relief follows, and sleep Is
soon induced. For those who are averse
to a little work l would recommend, in
stead, a bowl OF very hot milk without
so much as a wafer Immediately before
retiring. The hotter the milk the better
for the purpose. This will produce a bet
ter sleep-producer than all the Opiates
known to medical science. 1t brings about
an increased activity of the blood vessels
of the stomach, causing slight temporary
congestion, which relieves the blood yes-
sells of the brain. The hot milk is also
quite Strengthening to the stomach"

The Afflicted East.

sTSHERE is a new bug in the land
or at least an old one up to new
tricks. The entomologist of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton calls him the ''molanolestes pici-
pes" The chief popularity of the mo-
lanolestes picipes is that he bites a
person on the lip. He does it usually
at night. He waits till the family are
all asleep and then goes around samp-
ing the lips of each. In the morning
they wake up not with swelled heads
but swelled lips. The bitter NAV smack
his lips after good bite, but the bitten
reels no impulse to smack his for some
time The bug made his debut as a
lip bitter in New Jersey and is RAPIDLY
charging the field of his operations.
At first people thought he was a mem
Der of the mosquito family, an ad-
vanced product of mosquito evolution.
For ages mosquitoes have been sampling
all parts of the human body, learning
in time that the lip is the tenderest and
choicest part of all. Hence, it was
argued, the highly developed, thorough
self to lips exclusively. But this the
DRY, as has been observed, is rejected
by the entomologists, who declare that
the molanolestes picipes is distinct from
the skeeter tribe. a species of bug all
by himself He is said to be often
found in poultry houses in the West.
where he feeds upon the insects that
n act
known to gather in large numbers and
attack horses.
If the scientific gentleman at Wash
ington has the bug sized up right,
when full grown he is an inch long, has
f1attened body and very narrow,
pointed head. His beak is short, but
strong and sharp, and has the same
keen penetrative power as that of a
mosquito. He is jet black in color and
is a night flyer producing when he
bites burning pain that often lasts
from two to four days, the bitten part
swelling to ten times its normal size.
Why he should forsake his old pastures
and begin browsing on peoples lips is
something the scientist has not yet
found out.
The infiiction of such a bug, on hu-
manity in the East, is a serious mat
ter. The East had an extensive re-
pertoire of disagreeable bugs already
potato bugs, cinch bugs, tobacco
bugs, bed bugs. gold bugs, humbugs,
all sorts and conditions of bugs; and
now the kissing bug; and possibly
still more new bugs to come in the flu

RocKEFELLER's FRUGAL LUNCH.
Multi-Millionaire Dimes on Glass of
Milk and "a Banana.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Though possessed of boundless wealth
John d. Rockefeller lives a life of Spar
tan simplicity. He works harder than
most men whom necessity compels to
work for their living, and he accompishes
more in a given time than 10 ordinary
men can do. He arises at an hour which
the servants of most rich men consider
night and attends to the many details of
his business. He arose at o'clock in the
morning a few weeks ago when the New
Amsterdam hotel was full of Ohio law
yers who were trying to find out some
matters connected with the Standard Oil
company. He did two hours work in his
office and then went through three hours
of intellectual fencing with the commits
sion from Ohio.
There was an adjournment for luncheon.
Mr. Rockefeller remarked to one of his
counsel, Virgil P. Kline of Cleveland, that
he was very hungry. The two went to the
Union club for the midday repast Mr.,
Kline came back looking radiant, for
those who are acquainted with him know
he does not despise the products of cul-
mary skill.

pulled cigar, lis a remarkable man. But
how does he do it? Think of a man driv-

N LAY the city of Brooklyn's cele-
IV bration of "Schley day. to-day
be large and glorious. Business
will be suspended and people will enjoy
a double Fourth of July. Counting
Sunday, the stores and Offices will have
remained closed three days, quite a
breathing spell to the armies of book
keepers, clerks and salespeople, who
have reason to be thankful to Admiral
Cervera for sailing out of Santiago
harbor just the day he did. The cruiser
Brooklyn is at Brooklyn and her tars
will march through the town headed
by a band.
1t seems that in Washington the ru-
NOR that Schley day was to be cele-
brated by the crew of the Brooklyn
came near upsetting the plans of the
tars. An objection on the part of some
husybody in the navy department was
raised to the selection of the title for
the celebration. Then the name of the
celebration was changed from Schley day
to Schley Victory day. It was supposed
at the time that the celebration was ar
ranged for that the Brooklyn would re-
main in the navy yard at least 4
month. but through some sort of jeal-
ousy in the navy department, it is al
legged. the cruiser was ordered to be set
afloat last Friday. This caused much
uneasiness among the crew for fear the
navy department was trying to upset
the plans for the Schley day celebra-
ton. 1t was announced later, however,
that the Brooklyn would stay where
she was another week

Since the war with Spain we know
our regular army better than We did,
and appreciate it more adequately, but
in spite of all that we have heard and
read of what was endured and accomp-
lished at Santiago, some of us still feel
that the officers of the regular army
who were engaged there hardly got the
full need of glory that they were en-
titled to. The men to whom the pub
lie did justice were the men they knew
beforehand. The campaign was too

~HERE was buried in New York

~HERE was buried in New York
last Thursday a unique charac-
ter in the person of Thomas p
Walsh, commonly called in the metro
politan newspapers Fatty" Walsh He
was the father of Miss Blanche Walsh,
the actress, who recently appeared in
Butte and Anaconda Fatty Walsh
was in some ways a typical New York
ward politician. He was rarely out of
an office. Generally in with Tammany,
he sometimes found it advantageous to
fight that organization, though he al
ways had sense enough to know when
to quit the opposition and remount the
Tammany band wagon. His first office
was superintendent of markets; then
he was alderman from the Fourth
ward; next he was an assemblyman,
and after that keeper of the tombs.
His last office was dock master, hold
ing the place under three administra-
tons and dying in it. His death is
mourned especially by the children of
New York's east side" All that a.
youngster who wanted two cents had
to do was to appear before Mr. Walsh
with clean hands, and the apostle of
cleanliness would drop cent into each
hand. His praises were sung all over
the east side as de fat guy wot pays
you for clean fiippers."

II MoNG other things a soldiers
a letter from Manila says: Some
of our soldiers have been
placed upon the records as traitors
and 'dishonorably discharged. A
number OF them have gone over
to the Filipinos and have already
fought against us. They have been
made officers in the Filipino ranks, and
from prisoners taken we learn that
these traitors tell the Filipinos that if
they are captured by the Americans
they will be put to death at once" That
Americans have deserted to the Fill
pinos is inconceivable. The writer of
the letter has evidently accepted a cock
and bull story as straight goods. De-
sertions were not uncommon in the civil
war. and they were readily explained.
1t would be the hight of absurdity for a
man to desert the American for the Fill
ipino army-we cannot believe there is
an American over there capable of
making such a fool of himself.

SENTENCED.
Eighteen Months at Saltwater
for Gerstenhauer.
John Phillips Pleads Not Guilty to the
Charge of Stealing Clover Seed and
Trial Next Week.

Gustav Gerstenhauer Friday afternoon
pleaded guilty to the charge of grand
larceny in the first degree, and was SEN
fenced to eighteen months at hard
labor in the Saltwater penetentiary.
In reply to questions of the court, he
stated that he is thirty-three years old,
has been a book keeper and lumber
estimator for sixteen years, and has q
wife and three children. He stated
that he had nothing to say why sentence
should not be imposed.
County Attorney Hughes said that he
felt particularly for the family, as it
will be lett destitute. He hoped that
Gerstenhauer would profit by this lesson,
and on account of his family asked for
him the leniency of the court. He said
that Gerstenhauer had shown himself
willing to admit his crime and had not
attempted perjury.
Judge Severance said that the case is
a particularly lamentable one on &C.
count of Mr. Gerstenhauer's family,
and the penalty would fall heavier on
them than on him. He had therefore
concluded to take the case into his own
hands and exercise humanity. He
would mitigate the sentence on the
family's account and not allow any law
to override humanity. After pronoun-
cling sentence. the court said some en-
couraging words to the defendant
Sheriff Gerlich intends to take Ger
stenhauer to Saltwater tomorrow after
noon.
John Phillips pleaded not guilty to
the indictment charging him with
grand larceny in the second degree in
stealing clover seed, and stated that he
would be ready for his trial next week.
AS there were no civil cases ready for
trial that forenoon, the petit jury was
excused until 10 m Monday, when
