The best possible thing for a man to
do when he feels too weak to carry
anything through is to go to bed and
sleep as long as he can. This is the
only recuperation Of brain power, the
only actual recuperation Of brain force,
because during sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles of nutriment
from the blood which take the place Of
those which have been consumed by
previous labor, since the very act of
thinking burns up solid particles, as
every turn of the wheel or screw of
the steamer is the result of consump-
ton by fire of the fuel in the furnace.
The supply of consumed brain sub
stance can only be had from the nutri-
tive particles in the blood which were
obtained from the food eaten previous
ly, and the brain is so constituted that
it can best receive and appropriate to
itself those nutritive particles during a
state of rest, of quiet and stiffness of
sleep. Mere stimulants supply nothing
In themselves. They goad the brain
and force it to greater consumption OF
its substance until it is so exhausted
that there is not power enough left to
receive Il supply.

FUEL QUESTION IN THE HOUSE.

Committee Authorized to Make an
Investigation.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The house
yesterday. after adopting a resolution
to authorize the merchant marine and
fisheries committee to investigate the
coal situation, at once adjourned out
of respect to the memory of the late
Representative Tongue (Ore.) and APP
pointment of committee to attend
gate the coal situation recites that a
resolution has been introduced to ex-
tend the privilege of carrying coal to
coastwise ports to foreign steamers
for ninety days, because the present
scarcity of coal involves great suffer
ing and distress, and authorizes the
committee to investigate facts,
charges and necessities; to inquire
into the elements and conditions in
volved in the coal trade, the cost of
coal, the methods, facilities and cost
of transportation and distribution of
the same, and the reasons or causes Of
such scarcity and distress"
The committee is directed to report
to the house the testimony, with their
conclusions thereon. as soon as posi-
Bile. It is given power to send for per-
sons and papers, to administer oaths,
ETC., and incur such expense as may
be deemed necessary. The meetings
are to be held in Washington and in
such other places as the committee
may determine.
A lively debate occurred in the sem
ate between Messrs. Aldrich, Vest and
Carmack when the first named en-
deavored to secure postponement of
the Vest resolution requiring the COM
mittee on finance to report bill re-
moving the duty on coal. Aldrich an
nounced that there were strong hopes
of action being taken elsewhere with
the view to removing the duty on coal.
/ The proposition was not acceptable to
Vest, who expressed the opinion that
to allow the resolution ITO go into the
uncertain and nebulous future would
mean its defeat.
Nelson continued his remarks In op-
position to the omnibus statehood bill
and large number Of private pension
bills were passed by unanimous con-
sent.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-It is expected
that congress will pass bill remov-
ing the duty of 81 cents ton on coal
imported into this country. This bill
may take the form of rebate or draw
back for ninety days and also will
provide for reciprocity admitting free
of duty coal imported into this coun-
try from countries granting the same
privilege to the United States. This
means Canada, and will permit Nova
Scotia coal to come into this country
free, while coal from the Alleghenies
and westward will go into Canada free
of duty. The ways and means COM
mittee will meet today and, according
to the present program, will report a
bill on the above lines. 1t is ex-
pected the bill will pass the house to-
day. 1t will be taken up in the senate
very soon and the intention is to have
it pass without much delay. Its con-
sideration in the senate has not been
arranged for, but arrangements are
making to expedite it's passage with
out amendment and with little discus
sion. A number of Republicans who
heretofore have been opposed to
changing the duty on coal, said they
would not oppose the bill, providing
1T would not open the whole tariff
question. There has been some talk
about an. agreement to pass such bill
without opening up the tariff question,
and the Republican leaders expect the
house bill will be passed promptly by
the senate.

pany is giving good service and far
mers are very enthusiastic over its
working as it saves many trip to
town and they are able to find out
what is going around the country
while they are at home about their
work.
Lu Beers fell off OF scaffold while
heswas working on the John Wagner
barn last week, falling nearly fifteen
feet to the frozen ground, severely
bruising his hip and the doctor thinks
perhaps he has broken or dislocated
some of the bones. He was up the
hrst of the week and was able to get
around some on crutches but will not
be able to do any work for some time
to come.
The meetings which have been
going on in the Methodist church in
Ross for some time were discontinued
last week on account of the inability
to secure coal. Now that coal can be
had they will start again Sunday
evening and continue for an indefinite
period as quite an interest seems to be
taken by the members in the church
and other people in Ross in the meet
ing and will no doubt prove bene-
fit to the church and town at large.
A party was held at the Godfrey
Dreher home northeast of Ross Fri
day evening where large crowd of
young people assembled and whiled
away few pleasant hours together
until the hours grew late and
they were obliged to depart for their
respective homes all wishing as they
went that they might again sometime
be permitted to assemble at this pleas
ant home. Several of the young
people from Ross were in attendance
and report an excellent time at the
hands of the host and hostess.
Ross has been without coal for
some time until it seemed that a coal
famine would result from the inabil-
ity to secure this fuel. Tuesday A.
j. Leake received car OF coal on the
morning train and by noon the whole
load was sold out. On the evening
train another car arrived and nearly a
dozen teams were waiting to secure
loads. Each man took only one load
and was satisfied, it being almost a
criminal offense to come after second
load. People from as far up as Gray
came down after small quantity of
coal as they are unable to buy any OF
the dealers there as they have been
out for some time.

His Lest Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont: In the first opening of Oklahoma to set tiers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping up- on his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be- came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed, and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for @ fortnight. That one little bottle worked complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists.
