WHAT A SIGH MEANS.

Signing is but another name for
oxygen starvation. The cause of sigh
ing is most frequently worry. An in
terval of several seconds often follows
moments of mental disquietude, during
which time the chest walls remain rigid
until the imperious demand is made for
oxygen, thus causing the deep inhala
ton It is the expiration following the
inspiration that is properly termed the
sigh and this sigh is simply an effort
of the organism to obtain the necessary
supply of oxygen. The remedy is to
cease worrying. One may be anxious,
but there is no rational reason for wor
worry at once worry will do no good:
IL will rob one of pleasures when bless
ings do come, as one will not be in
condition to enjoy them-August Ladies'

ELECTS M'KINLEY.
General Grosvenor Out With His
Official Forecast.

Chicago, July s1.-The Record says un-
der a London date line:
Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor of
Ohio, the election prophet of the Repub-
lican party, furnished the Record CORE
spondent his first official forecast for 1900
He gives Mckinley and Roosevelt a sure
total of 278 electoral votes, including the
votes of the states of Kansas, South Da-
kota and Washington. carried by Bryan
in 1896. He puts in the doubtful column
Kentucky, Nebraska, Utah and wyoming,
on at least half of whose votes he de-
clares the Republicans have a mortgage.
OF the total of 1872 votes conceded to Bryan
and Stevenson, Mr.. Grosvenor says there
IS a bare possibility that Mckinley may
carry North Carolina, and that he has
more than a fighting chance of winning
the ten votes of Colorado, Idaho and
Montana.
Here is the way General Grosvenor cal
culateS it.

Council Committee Plans to Light

The council committee on lights is again
figuring on electric lights for Potwin, Au-

included in the annexation ordinance
which can be taken into the city. Moth
ing was done before the decision of Judge
ddzen on the annexation ordinance be-

nights would be needed, and nothing can
pc done now until the new ordinance tax
ing in that portion which Judge Hazen
SAID could be annexed is framed. This
VIII be done in a few days, and it is
likely that the matter will be settled by
the council before September /. If the
annexation ordinance had been approved
II would necessitate a new dynamo ca

SAYS ALL AXE ENTIRELY SAF'E.
Commenting on this General Grosvenor
said:
In ordinary campaigns this would be
rather early day TO predict results,
but under the circumstances surrounding
the present contest 1 think it is entirely
safe. OF the states designated GER
tainly Republican 1 believe none is UNI
safe for Mckinley. If l were to select
state about which there might be a rea-
sOnable doubt l should name Maryland,
although the silver plank in the Kansas
City platform probably makes Maryland
as safe Ohio.
Allowing Bryan his certain total of 1872,
besides the ten votes of Colorado and
Montana and thirteen more-his half of
the doubtful states-gives him 1855 as the
maximum of his possibilities, or twenty
one less than he got before 1t will not
be a surprise to if McKinley's cleo
toral vote finally crowds close upon the
300 mark"
