reached that stage Of marital enerya-

fate of most advanced civilizations.
The invaders, ON the other hand,
were Semites, and they carried on
their conquests with the vigor of a
younger nation. Kish, which origin

their most southerly outpost, and
from it they sapped the strength Of
the Sumerian civilization. The victory
Of Ur-S hulpanddu was apparently
complete, but whether it was shortly
wrested from him, or whether he
ruled a long time, the fragmentary

end of the Sumerian supremacy was
inevitable, for at last, when the mo-

A Glass of water at Bedtime.

The human body is constantly I'M
dergoing tissue changes. Water has
the power of increasing these changes,
which multiply the waste products,
but at the same time they are re-
moved by its agency, giving rise to
incredsg6sa2petite, which in turn pro-
vides fresh 6utriment. If you do not
accustom ylurself to drink water
regu arly yorteare liable to have the
waste productseeform faster than they
are removed. Any obstruction to the
free working 9 natural laws at once
produces disease. Great weakness
and languog on rising in the morning
are generally due to q large secretion
of these waste products, and the
remedy is to drink a t%umblerful of
water -either hot or coldAjust before
retiring. This materially assists in
the process during the night and
leaves the tissues fresh and strong,
ready for the active work of the next
day.

A surgeon in the French army has
just discovered that stamp collectors
may be the means of disseminating
tuberculosis by mean of the stamps.
A man in his employ was a great
stamp collector, and occupied his
spare time in fixing the stamps in al
buns or on sheets of gummed paper
for sale, moistening the stamps for
the purpose with his tongue.
Three hundred Of the stamps were
placed in sterilized water, and with
some of the water eight guinea pigs
were inoeulated. Each died with
characteristic tubercnlous LESSONS.
Children. says the journal, should
be warned against placing any clamps
near their mouths in order to moisten
them, and foreign stamps should be
disinfected III a five per cent. solution
OF carbolic acid before adding them to
collections.

A young man by the name Of Ed
ward G.. MOstue was run over by an
eastbound extra freight train at this
place Wednesday evening about $50
o'clock, and sustained injuries from
which be died few hours afterwards.
Mostue had been in Benson and
wanted to come down here on the train
mentioned above, but the trainmen
refused to carry him in the caboose,
so he climbed in between two cars and
rode on the bumpers this far. The
train did not stop here, so the young
man jumped off just as he got to the
depot platform. The boards were
slippery and he fell and rolled
in between the moving train and the
platform, his legs getting across the
rail. Both legs were mashed off, one
at and the other just below the knee.
His head was also hurt by being
jammed underneath the platform. He
was picked up and carried into the de-
pot and DR.. Veline summoned, who
did all in his power for him. An ex-
ira train was sent up from Willmar
to take the injured man to that place,
where Drs. Frost and Veline intended
attending to his injuries, but he died
before they had begun operating on
him.
Deceased had but lately returned
from a trip to the old country and had
| not yet visited his old home out near
Sunburgh, where his two half-brothers,
J. G. Mostue, and another whose in
| itials we could not learn, yet live. AS
far as we can ascertain his only other
living relative is a married sister who
lives in Big Stone county. His wife
died last fall short time before he
started for the old country. He was
about p years sold.-Kerkhoven Ban

The body was taken to the under
