Death
From Bad Dreams If
 Heart is Weak.
To Awake in Fear a
 Bad Symptom.
Dr. Niles Heart Cure
 WI11 Cured You.

Recent investigations by specialists on the heart have demonstrated that in nine cases out of ten of deaths in bed, heart action was stopped by fear, which bad dreams or night mare had bsousht on. After careful study of the habits of those who died in over . thousand cases, 1t has been found that the majority had been sufferers from nightmare or nocturnal disturbances of dreamland, and that frequently they awokc in the middle cf the night completely exhausted and gravely alarmed through some particularly vivid dream. Thus we learn to recognize dream: ing and nightmare as marked symptom of heart disease. Be warned in time. Strengthen the hearts action with Dr. Miles Heart Cure, which enriches the blood, improves the circulation, regulates the pulse and invigor- ates the heart nerves.
 "When l would get home at night and sit down, did not feel like moving. When tried to sleep I would doze of and then awake with a sudden fright. This would happen several times during the night and when morning came felt like iron weights were attached to me and dragging me down. I doctored with home phys clans and took treatment from specialists but nothing did me any good until l commenced taking Dr. Miles Remedies. The Heart Cure, Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills were what used and am thankful to say they have cured me."-H. B. HYDE, 24I4 5. Rampant Street. New Orleans, La.

VARIABLE VERDICTs.

In a recent issue of ''The Horseless Age" published in New York, there are a number of references to recent decis- tons by the courts, and these are inter esting chiefly because of the variety of Nerdicts and decisions rendered by the auries in cases arising out of damages resulting from the use of automobiles. 1n case decided in Trenton, N. J., for example. the horses took fright at an approaching auto, and ran away, injur- ang the occupant of the carriage, the jury gave him A2.0O0 damages. A similar case has just been tried at Bridgeport, Conn, where the circumstances and re- suits appear to have been just about the same as in the New Jersey affair, and here the verdict was unanimously for the automobile operator. The details of the cases indicate as much blame in one case AS in the other.
 Then, again, there was a peculiar case recently decided at Yonkers, N. Y., where the proof showed that an automobilist ran his machine on the track directly in front of a street car,, causing a collision which upset the car and injured twenty two persons. He was sentenced to six months Imprisonment and a number of damage suits have been filed by the in Jured occupants of the car against the street railway company because, as al- legged, the motorman was racing" his car. In this case the publication from which we gather these facts speaks of ''the severity of the sentence" and de- clares that 1t calls for resentment by the automobile interests. It really seems that this is a very light sentence if, as the evidence seems to establish, the driver or operator Of the machine delib- erately ran on the track immediately in aront of the street car. thereby endanger- ing the lives of all the passengers
 There are quite d number of cases cited in The Age, and the great variety and the lack of unanimity among courts indicates that they and the juries have not yet learned just how to deal with this new motive power.

The Manchester, N. H., Union refers to the Kansas man of whom The Ad- vertiser had something to say few days ago. who stopped drawing a. pension be- cause Christian Science had convinced him that there was never anything the matter with him, and adds that. leaving Christian Science out of the question, Tit would be interesting to know how much would be saved 70 the Treasury by cutting off those pensions, claims for which were based upon ills that were ae- tually imaginary"
 We should say it would be interesting, and the removal of all such from the pension rolls would make big difference in the amount of money annually expend- ed :or pensions. It is not usual for our extreme Northern contemporaries to cast doubts on the validity of pension claims, but occasionally they hint very plainly, as The Union does in this instance.

About 700 bushels of good corn was shucked out This represented not more than half of the corn crop Of Judge Reaves.
 This paragraph takes us back to the old days in Randolph when corn and the resultant hogs were among the staple pro- ducts of that county. As the above clip ping Iintimates. the crop of Judge Reaves amounts to net less than HOO bushels. which we consider quite a corn crop for that section of the State, and a credit to his manner of farming. He will not have to sell cotton to get money to buy corn with, and we would be willing to wager that he will not have to buy meat or other necessaries. Doubtless there are other farmers in Randolph. as we'll as in other counties outside the cotton belt, who are as independent as MT. Reaves Is. An old-fashioned corn-shucking, with such a pile of corn. is something worth being proud of.

More Hunting Ground for President.

A Pennsylvania hunter. whose name un- fortunately has not been given to enrich the literature of bear hunting, told The Philadelphia Press this story the other day: He was out with party after bear not far from West Munayunk. The party separated. This particular hunter pene- trated leis,rely into the thick woods. Presently he heard the noise of grunting and slight scraping. The grunting was that satisfied kind which expressed su- preme pleasure. Cautiously peeping through the undergrowth the hunter was amused to see a monstrous black bear standing straight and scratching his back aginst a hickory tree. The hunter swears he hadn't the heart to shoot the brute in the midest of his delightful ex- ercise. so he considerably retired a short distance in order that bruin might finish his scratching with out the annoyance of impolite intrusion. When the hunter peeped again to see if the bear had got through and was ready to be shot, the big beast was gone, and he could be found no more that day. That hunter ought to tell his story to President Roosevelt, and get a collectorship or something equally as good.

The Grand Duke Michael Nicolaievich, grand uncle to the present Czar, lately elaborated his roth birthday.

Indeed, Czar Alexander IT. who was 62 when he was murdered. His brother Constantine died at the age of 64 There have been three or four princesses Swho have lived to see 70 and the average of the males is now increasing, as the three princes just named were all sons of Nicholas l. The next generation. now varying in age from 33 to 55. has had few losses and shows every prospect of long life.

The people want relief from industrial oppression and bad legislation, and they are somewhat indifferent as to which party gives it. If one fails they naturally turn to the other.
 The late election contains a distinct warning to the party in power that the people want a revision of the tariff, and this warning comes from the manufac- turing people themselves, who are clam bring for the repeal of tariff taxes on raw material New. York, tho chief man ufacturing city of the United States, sends an almost solid delegation to Con- gress of Democrats pledged to tariff re- form. Boston, the chief city of manufac- turing New England, sends a solid dele gation of Democrats, and several of the Republicans elected from Massachusetts, as we'll as in other parts of the Union. are pledged to a reduction of some of the Dingley rates. It is also noted that many of the Republican members of the present Congress who opposed the Presi- dents policy of reciprocity with Cuba failed of renomination by their own party
 The Republican party now has not only a responsibility but an opportunity.

A Timely Deliverance.

At yesterdays sitting of the Arbitra- ton Commission. in reply to questions asked by Judge Gray and counsel for the operators, the President of the mine work CTS union declared that a member of a trade union who belonged to a State mili- tia should not escape military service, but should willingly perform all the duties of citizenship and accept all the responsible ities that go with them.-New York Trib- une.
 This is a timely deliverance. It Is ex- traordinary and inconceivable that the la Dor unions should prohibit their members from joining the militia, and every union which does 50 flies in the fac of the writ ten law of the land.

DANDRUFF CAUSED BY A GERM.
A New Discovery That Kills the Germ
 and Prevents Badness,

Pretty nearly all the hair preparations for dandruff, have some merit in allaying itching of the scalp, and in being a fairly good dressing for the hair. but there is dandrun, falling hair. and badness and that destroys the cause, a little germ and that is Newbros Herpicide. This germ eats its way into the scalp. down to the hair root, where 1t saps that vitality, causing dandruf as it digs up the scalp into little white scales. Unless it is de- stroyed there's no permanent stopping of falling hair and cure of dandruff and baldness. Newbros Herpicide kills the germ. Destroy the cause. you remove the effect" Send 10 cents in stamps for sample. The Herpicide Co.,, Dept. K" Detroit. Mich Sold by E. c. Fowler. Druggist. fri

Washington, Nov. 2O-(special.)--It
 may be, in the main, true. as Prospero said, that I've are such stun as dreams are made of and our little life is rounded With sleep;" but 1t is certainly true that very many of us are such stuff as geese are made of and our little lives are round- ed of with swindles.
 The Supreme Court decision in the magnetic healing" case against the Post office Department. on appeal from Mis- souri, which was sent you by press agency, is likely to bob up more or less serenely for many. a day to the comfort of swindling quacks, from Mothereddyism up. or down, as you will.
 It Is not within the province of news paper or an individual to criticize court of law. since there Is no appeal from a sentence for contempt; but there is no
 harm in saying that swindllng ''healers' aL over the country will take heart of this mandate of the supreme tribunal which is above even the Constitution which created 1t. Yet these swindlers will reckon without their host. The court of last resort does not support the claim that ma gnetic healing Is of value. MT. Justice Peckham, in rendering the decis- ion of the majority of the court. Justices White and McKenna dissenting, The Ad- Yertfser correspondent being an attentive listener declared:
 "As the effectiveness of almost any particular method of treatment of dis ease Is to more or less extent fruit full source of difference of opinion. even
 though the great majority may be of one
 way of thinking the efficiency of any special method is certainly not a matter for the decision of the Postmaster Gen. eral within thess statutes relative to
 fraud. Unless the question may be re-
 duced to one of fact, as distinguished
 utes cannot be invoked for the purpose
 of stOpping the delivery of mail matter" |"

Not Ashamed of It.

Union Springs Herald.
 Union Springs is not ashamed to ack- nowledge the fact that she gave Judge N. B. Feagin to Birmingham (and was the loser thereby) The Judge has made a reputation, and a record which will rebound to his credit forever. The pistol "totin " habit is his direct target, and he always scores a bulrs-eye. His fines for this violation are as heavy as the law allows, and the effect is marvellous. Birmingham pistol dealer asserted in court that the Judge had reduced his sales 75 per cent and a coroner stated that his business was almost broken up, Here are congratulations for you, Judge from your old home.

The Champion I,iar Turna un,

Such long time has elapsed since any thing has been heard from Joe Mulhat- ton. the worlds champion liar" that he Is generally supposed to have been dead for years. Therefore when he suddenly turned up in New Orleans a fey days ago his friends greeted him as one returned from the dead. He has been mining in Arizona for eight years. and in all that time has been practically lost to the world. "A number of new liars have ap- peared during my absence" says Joe, but they had better look to their laurels. I am tired of mining and will now take to lying again.

The Union Men and the State Guard

A commotion has been created in labor circles at Schenectady. New York by the discharge from employment of William Potter because of a connection with the End regiment, which was employed fin guard duty during the Hudson Valley Railway strike. This step was taken be- cause of the action of the Trades Assem- bly, last month in demanding the eXpul- of all members who are members of the two local militia companies.

Referring to the small vote cast in Ala bama at the recent election, The Rich mond Times says:
 This is an unfortunate condition. The Democrats of Alabama did not vote be- cause there was no formidable opposi- tion. and so a large proportion of the voters remained at home on election day But this statement does not much inn prove matters. 1t is unfortunate that there is no strong opposition party in the State. It Is not unfortunate that the negro vote has been eliminated. but it would be we'll for Alabama if there were a strong white mans party in the mi nority.
 Whether we are to have white Re publican Party in Alabama seems to de pend on the relative hrmness and infu- ence of the President and those who arc trying to form and maintain such party That Roosevelt is opposed to 1t is appar' entiy beyond doubt and that he will crush it out, if possible, is equally ap' parent.
