Scientific Crusade Against pillows.
rTorn the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
Is it better to sleep with the head high or
low? This is a question which manufacture
ers of bed clothes apparently answered long
ago by announcing authoritative,y that no
one in his senses would think of lying down
ID sleep unless ne had 4 pillow and bols-
ter under his head Now. however. a
Frerch scientist comes forward and says
that any one who rests his head a pill
low and bolster while he is sleeping is slow
iy but surely committing suicide. This
scientist is Nj. A. Ferret, and it at the
recent meeting of the French Society Of
Hygiene that he expressed his heterodoX
views on the subject.
According tC NJ. Feret the only natural
position for man while sleeping is the hori-
ZCntal one, and the first thing to do in
der to accustom ones self to 1t is to re-
move the bolster Within few months. he
says, one will be able to sleep much more
calmly than ever before, and, moreover,
the general health will be much improved.
This statement" he insists, 'is not made
lightly, but is the result of long expert
ence."
The next step. he says. Is to remove the
pillow. for not until then will the circula-
tion of the blood be as free as it should be.
In further explanation he says that the
pillow and bolster keep the head and neck
at an abnormal angle, and that consequent
ly the sieepers entire body remains during
the night in an uncomfortable position and
on. which impedes the free course of the
blood through the vessels and organs. The
only remedy he maintains, is to adopt a
horizontal position. since by 1t alone Is alb
so.ute rest guaranteed. and this rest is due
to the fact that in such position the liga-
ments Of the neck are not strained or dis
torted, the lungs easily perform their prop
er work and the heart beats regularly.

ACCIDENT CAUSES DEATH.
IElihu Jessup, Of Bangor, Arrives in the
City With Remains Of Daughter.

iElihu Jessup, of Bangor, Arrives in the
City With Remsins of Daughter.
Mr.. Elihu Jessup, of Bangor, arrived
in the city Tuesday evening on the
Northwestern from Denver, where he
was summoned few weeks ago on ac-
count of an accident to his little daugh-
ter, Lille, aged four and a half years,
who was kicked in the head by horse
while visiting at the home of her cousin,
Riley j. Hadley, of Indianola, Neb.,
formerly a resident of Union. The
child's skull was fractured as the re-
suit OF the blow and in order TO re-
ceive better medical attention the little
patient was taken To Denver. In that
city on last Wednesday an operation
was performed to relieve the pressure
on the brain. and for a few days the lit
tie girl seemed to improve. On Sunday,
however, change for the worse ensued
and death resulted Monday morning. Mr..
Jessup lost his wife when his little
daughter was only two months of age
and since that time she has been cared
for by relatives, and more recently at
the Hadley home in Nebraska. This last
bereavement comes, consequently, as a
very sad aff1iction.
The remains of the little girl were
taken by the father to Liscomb this
morning, and from there were trans
ported overland to Bangor. The funer-
al was conducted from the Friends
church at Bangor this afternoon at
o'clock, Rev. Fred Hanson officiating.

Duluth. Mimi, Aug. There Is ex-
traordinary competition here for labor
at this time. Between the demand in the
city for workmen and for the harvest
and railroad work in the northwest good
men can get the highest wages paid for
common labor in fifteen years. Agents
from Oregon and other far western
states are here after both common and
skilled labor. P. O'Donnell, railroad
contractor, who is building a twenty
fve-mile branch for the Northern Pa
lcfffc from Jamestown, N d., is Offering
S2.25 a day and free fare. Not half of
the men he sends out on these terms go
to work for him after arriving. He pays
their fare and when they get there go to
work for farmers for from $2.25 to So a
day and board. Cooks demand So day,
whereas $50 month has been the high
est pay for years past.
Summer logging has practically come
to a standstill in this section, and not
until late in the fall is there any pros
pect of getting enough men to run the
camps. There is a scarcity of carpen-
tiers. An agent from the Pacific coast
offers $3.50 day for carpenters, and
none is paid less than SO here, with plen-
ty Of work in sight.
Contractors complain that they will be
ruined by the high wages, as many OF
them are now executing contracts that
were made before the great scarcity OF
men became apparent.

LOOKING AFTER DYNAMlTERs.
Game Wardsns Watch the River for
Men Supposed to Have pynamited
Fish Near Albion.

Fish Near Albion.
Two travellers of, Swedish extraction,
who are said to live at Garwin were the
center last evening of some excitement
among those directly interested in fish
ard game protection. 1t had been re-
ported from near Albion that farmer
ramed Stone had surprised dNnamiters
at work in the river, and driven them off.
The men were in boat and came down
stream. Game Wardens Fenner and
Horsley were on the alert and spent the
day In watching the river for the men.
Two strangers came down to the Sol
diers' Home in the afternoon who an
swered the meager description Of the
dynamiters and gave away their boat at
that place. From the Home they came
to the city, and at d. j. Bullock's hard
ware store attempted purchases of dy-.
Mantle and aroused the suspicious of the
proprietor and others who were present.
An arrest on suspicion was freely talked
of. No arrests were made, however.
Reports of gang of dynamitards who
have been working the streams of the
state, notably Cedar river, destroying
been reported thru the newspapers of
late and it was suspected that the two
men who bought the dynamite might be
members of similar gang.
Mr.. H. A. Stone, the farmer referred
to, came upon the men who were
camped near his place above Stanley's
mill just after they had fired a charge
and while they were picking up the fish.
His circumstances met with no response
and on his way to his home he heard the
discharge of another charge of dyna-
mite. He telepnoned L. c. Abbott, who
notified members of the fishing club.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Stone was
ready to swear to the violation 1t is re-
GREETED by many that the men We're not

P|)g|OFF|C[ SHORTAGE
Inspe ctor Ketcham Finds ! Short.
ate Of $833.36 in MARSHALL
town Office.
Discovery Leads TO an Investi-
Cation to Be Held Before
U. S. Commissioners.
Deputy Postma ster Kruskopf and
Chief Clerk Hawley to
Be Examined.

A shortage in the accounts OF the
Marshalltown postofflce, as discovered
by Postoflice Inspector w. NJ. Ketcham,
has created more or less excitement
among business circles today and has
caused considerable gossip and specula-'
tion as to the final outcome of the at
fair.
The shortage was discovered on Mon
day, when the postoffice inspector began
an inspection Of the accounts OF the
office. Mr. Ketcham discovered short
age of $S3336, and made the fact known
to Postmaster John @. Saint, who. at
ter checking over the books carefully
himself, found that his figures tailed to
a dollar with those of Mr.. Ketcham.
The responsibility for the $4,000 in
stock and the $4,000 in postal funds has
rested largely with Deputy Postmaster
Max Kruskopf, who looks after the
funds, Mr.. Saint placing that matter
into his hands. However others have
access to the funds, which are kept in
the vault, and of course there can be no
determination made as yet as to who is
responsible for the shortage. During
absence Of Mr. .Kruskopf from the office
the funds are in charge of Mr.. p. NJ.
Hawley, chief clerk, and as q conse-
quence he, as well as Mr.. Kruspof. have
been cited to appear tonight at 8 O'Clock
before United States Commissioner w
c. Macarthur, at Des Moines, for an in
vestigation.
The statue provides that whenever a
deficit exists in any postoffice the dis
trict inspector shall institute proceed
ings before a United States commission
err for the purpose of investigating
where the responsibility for such deficit
may be fixed and whether or not crime
has been committed.
Postmaster Saint made the amount of
the shortage good to the postoffice in
spector Tuesday evening without any
demand on the part of the latter, and
Mr.. Kruskopf has aireaoy made ar
engagements to reimburse Mr.. Saint,
pending the investigation
Mr.. Ketcham, Mr.. Saint, Mr.. Krus-
kopf and Mr. Hawley will leave for Des
Moines this evening on the Northwest
ern, Commissioner Macarthur having
photographed Mr.. Ketcham this afternoon
that he would be ready to hear the case
at S o'clock this evening.
