MAN IN THE CADOOSE
JACK RUMSEY'S SECRET FOR
SECURING SLEEP.
A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor
Tells How He Prevents the
Wreck of His Nerves.


A great deal of fatigue and anxiety is
housed up in the little red box that
swings at the tail end Of every freight
train and shares in every jolt Of the
string of heavy cars that precedes it on
the rails. The men in it are good, hearty
fellows who bear cheerfully the hazards
connected with the great problem Of
transportation. They are astir night
and day on a vast network of lines and
the sympathies Of tens Of thousands of
peaceful little hcmes go with them on
their runs. The great public must have
its supplies and these are the men who
must get them through at the cost even
of their lives.
Mr.. Jack Rumsey, of Council Grove,
Kansas, is an energetic, frank, good
natured member Of this brotherhood and
he bears load of worries that makes it
necessary for him to seek help to keep
his excited nerves from wearing him out
He says:
What troubled me most was my in
ability to get sleep when the chance came
and a most irritating sensitiveness of my
whole nervous system, growing out Of
the irregularities and anxieties con-
nected with my daily work. Three or four
years ago clerk in the superintendent
Office of the Missouri Pacific, at Osawa-
tonne, advised me to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. acted ON
his advice and got help right away. Sol
keep them ON hand al the time and
whenever the strain begins to tell on
me l take a few doses. They quiet
down my excited nerves and make it
possible for me to sleep just like child.
They are mighty good medicine for a
railroad man. That is the absolute truth,
as far as my experience goes, and am
right glad TO recommend them"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are unlike other medicines because they
act directly on the blood and nerves.
They are positive cure for all diseases
arising from impoverished blood or
shattered nerves. They are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent postpaid on re-
ceipt of price, fifty cents box, or six
boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by

From the Head of Grant.

Some interesting relics recently dis
covered in Rochester, n. Y, have
served to revive memories Of one Of
our great men and crucial period in
national history. They consist of two
locks Of hair. an autograph letter and
a signed photograph Of Gen. q. s.
Grant The photograph is a small
card common for soldiers pictures
throughout the war Of the rebellion,
and was taken In Chattanooga. The
letter Is the most interesting relic, and
was written, the New York Tribune
says, to Mrs. Isaac f. Quimby, wife of
Gen. Quimby, who was Grants class
mate at West Point and lifelong
friend.
After the victories of Gettysburg
and Vicksburg the lists Of the dead
and wounded were appalling, and the
women Of Rochester held an immense
bazaar to raise money for the fami-
lies of the dead and disabled soldiers.
All Western New York was interested,
and there was much excitement when
the announcement was made that two
locks Of hair. signed photograph and
an autograph letter from Maj. Gen.
Z. S. Grant would be put up for sale
by auction. Mrs. Quimby had asked
only for the hair, but was delighted
to receive the letter and Photograph.
The letter ran:
Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 13, 1865.
Mrs. 1. F. Quimby:
MY Dear Madam-The letter of my
Old friend and classmate, your hus-
band, requesting lock Of my hair If
the article is not growing scarce from
age-I presume he means to be put In
an ornament-by the most delicate Of
hands, no doubt-and sold at the ba-
zaar for the benefit of disabled SOL
diers and their families-is just re-
ceived.

intersperse here and there a reminder

quest is made is so praiseworthy that

by granting it. expose the fact to the
ladies Of Rochester that 1 no longer
am boy. Hoping that the citizens Of
your city may spend happy week
commencing tomorrow, and that this
fair may remunerate most abundantly,
remain, very truly your friend,
~. s. GRANT,
major General, q. s. Al
The locks of hair, which were about
two inches in length, are remarkably
soft, with a yellow CLEAN that time
has not dimmed. The relics were
knocked down to a. S. Mann, who,
in after years, came to know Grant
well. He once spoke about the Incl
dent, and Grant laughed boyishly at
the memory.
1T was the first time lady ever
asked me for lock Of my hair" he
said, land it so surprised me that 1

would inclose the photograph to
prove that there was more where those
locks came from if it should be
needed"

GAY FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept g.
San Francisco is today the Mecca OF
tens of thousands OF the most promi-
nent and representative citizens of
the United States. From every part
of the country. from far-away Maine
and Massachusetts. from Georgia and
Florida and from all the common
wealths between those states and Cal
ifornia, the representatives of the
Knight Templar of the United States
are gathering for their twenty.ninth
triennial conclave. 1t is score OF
years since this city was similarly
honored In the interval Denver In
annapolis. Lexington, Cleveland, and
Boston. among other cities, have en-
tertained the triennial conclave.
For over year the committee OF
reception and entertainment, under
The craftsmanship of Grand Comman-
der William Frank Pierce, and com
posed of the most prominent and ac-
tive Templars in this jurisdiction, has
been preparing for the advent of the
mighty hosts mat will sojourn in this
city and suburbs for the next six days,
and even thus early the tens Of thous-
ands OF strangers are willing to admit
that its work has been well done.
In the matter of decoration, 1t might
be said that even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed as is San Fran
cisco today. On every hand, over
doors and windows, spanning the
streets, or floating from tall flagstaffs,
are the cross, shield and sword, square
and compass. the knight on horse
back, with the notices of various com
manderies, with plentiful profusion
OF stars and stripes.
From the ferries, along Market
street to Ninth street. is stretched a
great canopy OF more than 10000 in.
candescent lights, stretching across
the street from the hundreds Of flag.
poles lining the thoroughfare. From
the center Of each of these, which
forms an arch, banners are hung and
from the tops of the poles themselves
flags and emblems fiutter in the bree-
re. AT the ferries there is a large
arch of welcome at Stuart and Mar.
ket streets. This is beautifully deco
rated and Illuminated with colored ell
ectric lights. displaying the triple
cross of the most eminent grand mas
| ter and the crown. Here is the start
ing point Of the illuminations, which
