The general lack Of plcturesqueness
about the present day male attire is
frequently lamented. yet how many
people are aware that the average
man carries on his coat at least two
historical relics, one Of which dates
back to feudal times?
This relic of the times Of William
the Conqueror consists Of the two but
tons worn at the back Of a morning
or frock coat. The buttons are. of
course. useless for any practical pur
pose, and inasmuch as they are GER
tainly not decorative, you may natur-
ally ask what they are there for
Sartorial historians now tell us that
these two buttons come down TO us
from the sword bearing age. when
they we're placed at the back Of the
coat for the purpose Of supporting a
sword belt. which. together with the
sword, has long since been discarded
save by military men, the sole remain
in evidence Of its existence being the
two buttons Thus to this day they
remain on our coats as mute witnesses
of the days that are gone.
The other historical relic which
still survives in our modern coats is
the nick in the lapel
Though you have been wearing
coats and waistcoats ever since chilli
hoods early DAYS you have probably
never thought TO inquire whether or
not there is any reason why tailors
should continue TO make this nick
It is now recalled by sartorial ex-
perts that when Napoleon first felt the
sway Of bounjless ambition he tried
to implicate General Moreau in Piche-
greu's conspiracy
As you will doubtless remember
Moreau had been the man Of iestinys
rival, and was an exceedingly popular
soldier. but in the circumstances. with
le petit caporsl in power it was not
safe to publicly express sympathy
with Moreau. So it came about that

HEAT NERVE PROSTRATIOh.
Sudden PrOst'atlOn Is a Feature Of Hot
Weather Upset Nerves and Weak
Nerve Cen'rS are The Causes.

All along the line OF mental and
muscular exhaustion so prevalent dur
ing the sumner months Is the under
lying cause of overworked nerves
over consumption Of nerve tissue
which has not been replaced. 1t is
manifested in the mind that refuses
to receive ald act upon impressions
in the usual way--and that, some
times when attempted to be whipped
into work, jumps the bounds of rea-
son and founders in n maze of con-
fusion. 1t is manifested physically by
over-tiredlanguid, ,eXertionless, mus-
cle-relaxed condition that lacks resist
ing power which is necessary to with
stand heat exposure. It's by the in
fiuence of Dr. A. w. Chases Nerve
Pills in ralying nerve force that
energy is Quckened-the great web like
nerve system Of the body vibrates with
new life-bnin nerves-heart nerves
stomach nerves feel the influence as
activity replaces lassitude and strength
is regained. The hidden current with
in which spells life has been brought
to natures required standard.

The Why Of the Trouble
In the Eighth Regiment,

1t has been reported, almost ever
since the reorganization of the Eighth
regiment after the Spanish American
war;, that there was feeling of
enmity between various officers, cap
tains especially, over the matter of
seniority.
The feeling reported has existed
more extensively In report than reality,
but to show accurately how such a
report might have been started, it Is
necessary to go back to the days of
the old organization, before the dis
charge of the regiment on its return
from Cuba.
Seniority, in point of service, was
closely observed In those days and n
captain who had served several years
In that capacity considered that he
was justly on the road to promotion.
When the regiment was mustered out,
the matter of seniority among the
captains became dead issue. On the
regiments reorganization, seniority
was decided from the date of the new
commission. Now 1t happened that
an officer who probably has had as
much OF more experience than any
officer in the Eighth regiment, but who
did not serve with the Eighth, either
as a volunteer organization or in the
National Guard, received his commits
sion in the new Eighth first, He is
therefore the ranking captain of the

There is an important growth to be
recorded in the consumption Of many
lines of rubber goods which have been
introduced only within comparatively
recent years, says The India Rubber
World. The new Federal building in
course Of erection in Chicago is ex-
pected to be one of the notable struc-
lures In that city, as regards both cost
and attractivencss in appearance.
There is to be a liberal provision Of
rubber tiling in furnishing the inter
ior. For instance, the four large
United States court rooms on the sixth
floor, will be foored with such tiling,
rendering walking in them noiseless.
1t is reported that pneumatic horse
collars have met with such favor in
Paris that one order for such goods,
calling for $4,000 has been sent to this
side of the Atlantic. Another item
worth mentioning particularly is the
extending use of rubber conveying
belts, for handling many different com
modities.

that he would probably soon send q

General Dick has already spoken

to be little doubt that the debates will
be arranged. The candidates will
hardly approach the standard set by
Lincoln and Douglas, but the joint
meetings may be both interesting and

John O'Nril, familiarity known as
'Humpy, is resting in the county
jail this week and will be before the.
court on Saturday. to answer to a
serious charge, based upon the de-
lendant having skipped with a
woman OF this city. The pair went
to West Superior, where Deputy
Sheriff Jared Wel,on found O'Neil
on Friday. O'Neil was held under
bonds of $1,000, which he could not
furnish, and consequently had to go
to Jail.
Twenty-seveL deer were brought
into town this week by large hunt
ing party that has been out for
week or more. OF course there were
fourteen licenses that had to be used
TO get the necessary tags for the
animals in order that they might be
shipped, SO it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that each hunter got two deer,
all excepting one OF them, who only
got one deer. If anyone should tell
you that eight of those deer were
killed by one person you do not want
to believe 1.-THE hunters got two
apiece. How could it be otherwise
with the rigid" enforcement of the
game law that is being made.
