AN ALARMING SLEEP.
That of Lafayette Porter, a Young
Man of st. Paul.
EFFORTS TO AROUSE HIM FUTILE
Physician Fails to Find u Case
Like 1t In Medical
Annals. E

Lafayette Porter, who lives at 934
Brown avenue, St. Paul. went to bed at
his home Wednesday evening, apparently
in the enjoyment of perfect health, and
the best efforts of physicians have been
insufficient to waken him since.
Porter was employed at the Great
Northern shops. He worked all day
Wednesday and in the evening visited his
step-sister, Mrs. Edmondson, on Rondo
street. He ate dinner with the family,
returned to his home shortly after 8
O'Clock, took drink of water. ate a
piece of pie and went to bed. ~, s
In the morning, when his step mother
attempted to- awaken him, she was un-
able to do SO. Thinking that he was
simply tired out she permitted him an
other hours rest; but when she still
could not arouse him, she sent for a ply
sician. DR.. V. j. Hawkins responded and
administered every known remedy, but
without avail He found the man had
fallen into a cataleptic state, for which
there was no apparent explanation. All
attempts to restore him to consciousness
were futile, and DR.. Hawkins says If he
does not wake up within the next twenty
four hours he will die. : ~'&@ 80 /.
The case is pronounced unique in
medical experience. Porter is a young
man, 27 years Of age, and had never been
ill in his life. He was temperate and
never used tobacco to excess. His habits
were good and he was a hard worker.
Wednesday he put in the day wheeling
brick to. workmens engaged in the terec-
tton of a new building at the Great
Northern shops. y He laughed and chat
ted with his fellow workmen and seemed
to be in the best of spirits. IS = = =
! Since Wednesday night he has been
stretched out upon his bed as if in sound
sleep. His color is natural, his respira
tion deep and strong, his heart action
good. His skin is cool and moist; and his
temperature normal Yet he cannot be
awakened. =
Dr. Hawkins says he can find no record
of. similar case anywhere in medical
experience. s.:, :,

'TALKOFNEW MERGER
ga Holding Company" Projected by
the Rock Island.
DIRECTORS SOON TO TAKE 1T UP
The Plan Would Insure Control of
the Property and Release
Working Capital.

1t is reported in eastern financial circles
that the Rock Island system plans the or
ganization of big holding company after
the plan Of the Northern Securities com-
pany for the better unifcation of proper
ties now under Rock Island control ana
the financing of new extensions and pur-
chases. This will be discussed at the
meeting of Rock Island directors in New
York next week. q
The new Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad company, it is said, will take
the place Of the present Chicago, Rock
existing Rock Island securities will be ex-
changed for the securities of the new COM
pany. The basis and manner OF this ex-
change, according to one OF the company
directors, is problem that has absorbed
the attention of several lawyers for some
time. 600. ~ ID
The purpose of the new company is to
obtain control of the Rock Island system
by purchasing the stock of the present
company, and holding it In the treasury
as security of a general per cent mort
gage to be executed by the new corpora
ton. A proposition which is said to have
been discussed by President Leeds and
his associates is that the new company
shall give for each 100 shares of present
Rock Island stock ten $1,000 per cent
bonds, rs per cent of new preferred, and
rs or 100 per cent of new common stock.
An exchange under such terms, the con-
trolling powers of Rock Island say, would
be based on valuation Of the present
Rock Island stock at about 26O. - -.
Should the new company issue $1OO,OOO,-
900 of bonds, as has been suggested, there
would be an aggregated bonded indebted
ness on the Rock Island properties Of
1924 ,000, 900. The old Rock Island refund
ing mortgage amounts to $100, 100000, and
in April last $24,000,000 of collateral per
cent gold bonds was issued to pay for the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad. The
recent 100000 increase of Rock Island
stock makes the total stock capitalization
of the present company s75,000,000.
10. The group Of western capitalists, rep
resented by the Moore Bros. and W. B.
Leeds, who bought the control Of Rock
Island about year ago, have planned
improvements and extensions of that sys-
tenn that will cost many millions of dol
lars A new company. such as is pro-
posed, would, 1t is argued, tie up the con-
troll Of the property securely, and through
the marketing of new securities would
release many millions of working capital.

SIOUX CITY TERMINALS
Great Western Said to Have Bought
! Traction Properties.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, July 25.-The state.
ment was made recently by a high railroad
official in Chicago that the property of
the Sioux City Traction company, whose
sale for about $2,000,000 was announced
Saturday, has been bought by the Chicago
Great Western railroad for terminal use.
President A. B. stickney of the Great
Western was in Sioux City a few weeks
ago, in conference with the officials of
the Union Terminal company, making a
proposition to buy the terminals. The
price was prohibitive and the meeting was
without result. Since then: nothing has
been heard of Mr.. >Stickney. He has no
way Of bringing his Sioux City extension
into the city. Il. =
The sum of $e5,ooo has already been
spent by John c. Coombs of Boston for
property admitting to the Union Terminal
passenger station. There is lacking for
the Great Western the right to use Third
street, into which this property opens. The
Traction company owns this franchise and
also owns franchises leading to the city
limits. 1t is the opinion here these fran
chises would be available for Mr. Stickney

The plans have been settled upon and will
be carried out with all possible speed. The
Ann Arbor system will also be extended as
to make bid for the freight traffic of the
entire copper country. 1t is intended to use

new roadway will be built.

APPRECIATION OF HUMOR.

Two Englishmen were discussing with Mark Twain the old topic of American humor as not appreciated by foreigners.
 But are the English really so ob- tuse?" asked one of them
 "Obtuse! You can't get an idea into an Englishman's head with a surgical operation,' declared Mark Twain.
 The questioner remained in solemn thought for a moment. Then he broke into a hearty laugh.
 Quite a delicious joke!'' he ex- claimed. Though, of course, if yol were to open the Englshman's skull you would kill him, would you not?"
 Mark Twain turned to the second Englishman: What did tell you? He wants to know whether it wouldn't kill him,'
 The countenance of the second Eng lishman was like a blank wall. Wouldn't it?" he queried.-New York Times.

PENSION HUNTING FOR A MAN. If John Sullivan could be located he would be informed that the United States government. after a period Of deliberatiOn of several years, had de- cided to give him pension of $S per month with back pay amounting to $2SS. He was here about three months ago and has since been heard from only indirectly. Notice of the pension vas received yesterday by his attor- ney. Justice Burnett.
 A LARY-Tuesday afternoon 9 tramp applied at the kitchen door of the Mills house and asked for some thing to eat. He was admitted and given a good meal after which he de- parted as he came. Tuesday night someone entered the same door with out permission and carried away a quantity of SilverWare. including g spoons, forks. knives. souvenir spoons. etc. The two incidents may have no connection with each other. but it is likely that tramps will find it a waste of time to apply for free lunches at the Mills house hereafter.
