ISSUE AN ADDRESS.
ST. Louis Exposition Commit
tees Appeal.

The members of the St. Louis
exposition commission, who had
been in session in Boise for several
days, completed their labors, and
before adjourning they issued an
address to the people of Idaho
signed by l. B. Perrine, president;
Mrs. H. w. Mansfield, secretary;
A. +. Parker and X. j. Anderson.
In this address they say:
ut is to be regretted that no ac-
tion in the way of providing neces-
sary funds was taken at the last
session, and the commission is
handicapped OH this account at the
outset, but realizing that a major
ity of other states are in like con-
dition and that they are surmount-
ing this obstacle in various ways,
we have evolved plan for raising
$4,000, which we feel to be emf
nently successful in view of the
loyalty OF our citizens and the great
desire of the state to be creditably
represented on this occasion. The
commission finds that the most
practicable way to raise this money
is not through small public dona-
tions, but in subscriptions in sums
of 500, from well-to-do citizens
throughout the state who can afford
to loan this money for the real in
terest and welfare OF the state, and
who will be reimbursed by the leg
islature at the legal rate of interest.
The commission will address a
number of the citizens of the state
throughout each county, asking for
their personal aid in this matter.
"The work of this present COM
mission will be devoted entirely and
the above sum expended in gather
ing an agricultural and horticult-
ural exhibit of this seasons prod
ucts. AS the legislature does not
convene until January, and the
fair opens in May, it is readily seen
that this work must be accom-
plished this year. One of our
number, Mr.. r. j. Anderson, is
on the ground at st. Louis and will
investigate the advisability of a
state building, this being the plan
most widely adopted by other
states. II it should be found that
the preponderance of public opin.
ion is for state building the com.
mission will work along that line
if not, suitable space in the main
building will be secured.
"After careful consideration the
commission has decided that its
labors can be most proftably spent
in the collection Of an agricultural
) and horticultural ehxoibit alone
The great mining industry of the
state has already magnificent
practical collection of ores, gath
cred for exhibition at the mining
congress and for the Buffalo expo
! sition. This can be enlarged dur
ing the present year by the mean
already at the command of tn,
J state.
at will be the pleasure of tn,
commission from time to time
through the press of the state, tt
make public new plans and repor
progress. Correspondence is in
vited and suggestions addressed t.
any member of the commission will
be gladly received. Respectfully
submitted"

NO DREAMLESS SLEEP.
The Brain is Ever Busy and Never Tires
Out.

Many persons congratulate themselves
when waking i'll the morning on having
slept a sleep entirely free from dreams.
In fact, the expression "dreamless sleep"
has become stock phrase which we all
use to describe the most refreshing kind
of slumber. Sir Arthur Mitchell. how
ever, an eminent British investigator,
agrees with perhaps the majority of
medical authorities that there is ahsolutc-
ly no such thing as dreamlcSS sleep. A
writer in the British Medical Journal
sums up the matter IN part as follows.
Many persons when awakened from
sleep assert very positively that they
'%Tc not been dreaming, and vet later on
remember that they have done so, aftel
all. In Il large number of cases such
people may never be able to remember at
all. The absence of a knowledge of hay-
ing dreamed furnishes no proof that
dreams have not taken place. The
watcher by the bedside of Il sleeping per-
son may have what he regards as salts
factory evidence that the person is dream
ing, vet that person when the sleep ends,
may feel quite positive that dreams have
not taken place, In the direct support
of his theory the author cannot be said
to be very convincing, nor from the ma
ture of his subject is it possible that he
could be. Several resolutc observers had
for a considerable time scarcely ever
failed to ask themselves Immediately on
awakening if they had dreamed or not.
any they nearly always got a satisfying
affirmative answer. In many cases the
details of the dream were completely
gone, but they knew that a dream had
occurred. If, then, these mental proc
esses continue both during sleep and
while awake. it might naturally be sup
posed that the brain would become worn
out. Such dreaming or sleep thinking,p
however, according tn the author, is not
to be considered as affOrding no rest. On
the contrary, by the withdrawal of "will'
during sleep this form of thought is, so
to speak, left free to sport, and according
ly refreShment actually comes from the
change, not WEAKNESS. Similarly, deli
RUS is merely another form OF this think~
ing without the control of the will. Fur
Their, on such an hypothesis reason
might perhaps be found to explain why
raving may SO on for a considerable
period without ordinary sleep. Some per-
sons, again, are never really wide awake,
and their thinking is normally OF this
dieordered character. Into this class Sir
Arthur Mitchell would even place the
man in brown study."-Utica Press,

GEN. sIGEL's LAST DAYS.
His Widow Writes of His Death to a
Friend in Washington.

In q letter of recent date-October l.
from Mrs. Franz Sigd TO Mrs. r.. May
nicke Stillman Of this city, lifelong
friend of the family, she describes the
declining days of her IlUstriOus husband,
as follows:
'"As you know, during the past few
years he had 0ecome quite weak and
feeble, but was not i'll. nor did he suffer
any pain; it was a gradual wasting away
of his strength and energy, which was
not surprising, considering the intellctu-
ally active and strenuous life he had led.
When, for the lack of strength, he was
unable to follow his accustomed literary
and other intellectual pursuits, he
dropped them one by one, apparently
without regret Lately, he would read
awhile, then slumber awhile. What he
seemed to enjoy most was when | would
talk to him GA all sorts of subjects, dis
cuss current topics, and busy myself
about him. He was supremacy happy
when our daughter Leida was with him.
One of us always accompanied him on
his daily walks. When he was too fee
BILE to take these, we went driving with
him.
'He enjoyed the past summer so much,
for the vicinity of our Bronx is very
beautiful
For months be was unable to take any
but liquid nourishment, still the end came
all too suddenly; we had not thought Of
it before. He fell asleep so gently, soft
ly.. The last words | understood him to
say were: Mamma. it was we'll: ali has
been for the best and then he left us.
at was we'll that the universal SYM
pathy extended to US in our bereavement
carried our thoughts away from our
selves, so that / hardly know how the
