GET FULL BENEFIT
FROM SLEEP.

1t may seem absurd to suggest cul-
tivating habit while asleep, yet it
can be done, and the health greatly
improved thereby. One is often real
ly startled by the extraordinary atti-
tude assumed by small children in
their sleep and yet the grown men,
bers of the family are doing tue same
thing in modified degree.
The extreme weariness felt by many
persons upon getting out of bed in the
morning is often largely due to the
unnatural position in which the body
reposed during the night; the muscles
have become strained and worse than
all else, the lungs have labored all
night long without sufficient fresh air,
the result being that the blood is pois-
oned by the gsses and the whole sys-
tenn is debilitated.
Beds which are too soft, springs
which sag and too many soft pillows
all help to throw the body in an un-
natural position. Heavy quilts and
overheated rooms cause restlesness
and consequent twisting of the body
in, uncomfortable positions. A room
kept at Is or 80 degrees at night is
much too warm for health. even if
one is accustomed to this temperature.
Refreshing sleep is impossible until
the room is kept cool and an abnn-
'lauce of fresh air admitted during the
night.

TOKIO-In a daring night attack
against a Russian force estimated at
five divisions, with 100 guns, General
Oku succeeded in driving the enemy
from their strong line of defense
south of Ia Tche Kiao.
Advancing on Sunday, General Oku
found a superior force confronting
him and that a heavy artillery fire
from the enemy was checking his
men. He thereupon decided to hold
the positions he then held and to at
tempt night surprise. This was sue
cessful, the Japanese troops hustling
the Russians into retreat to Ia Hche
Kiao. The Japanese had only 800 cas-
ualties. No estimates of the Russian
losses are given.
The Takushan army did not partic-
ipate in the fight, 1t being located to
the east of Ia Tche Kiao. Moving
to the northwest, this Takushan force
fought and won a separate action on
Friday, July %, at Panling, losing
thirty-one men.
On Sunday morning at o'clock the
Japanese right had reached bluff a
little less than two miles from Tai
ping mountain. At 5 o'clock IN the
afternoon the Russian batteries post
ed in various positions on the high
ground opened with vigor, Smelling
the advancing Japanese line. The
strength of the Russian gradually de-
veloped during the day. The Sussian
fire prevented general advance and
determined General Oku to decide to
adwait the advent of darkness to de-
liver a night assault.
Suddenly, at 10 o'clock Sunday
night, the entire Japanese rignt was

night the second position was at.

seized Chenyshisban without resist

NEWS OF THE ASSASSINATION
Does Not Cause Much Surprise in
WASHINGTON Circles.

WASHINGTON-The first official
information received here of the trag-
edy at st. Petersburg came in short
cablegram to the state department
from Spencer Eddy, the charge
d'affaires of the American embassy
in the absence from that capital of
Ambassador Mccormick. The mess
age read:
Secretary Of Interior Plehve and
several others killed and some
wounded by explosion of bomb"
The cablegram was promptly for
warded by Acting Secretary Adoo to
Secretary Hay at Newbury, N. H., and
a proper expression of coincidence will
be directed through Mr.. Eddy.
Although the assassination Is deep
ly deplored here, it cannot be said
that it has caused much surprise in
the circles here best informed as to
the conditions in st. Petersburg. M.
Plehve was regarded as a reactionist
and was particularly severe in his
treatment of the radical element In
Russian politics. He was able to en-
force his policies through his absolute
control of the secret service and po-
lice.

G. G. Powers of the Argo starch plant
has been transferred to Pekin, ILL.,,
where he will have charge of the

Argo plant is to be closed down as
soon as the starch on hand can be
shipped out and it is not known when
it will open. The plant is in charge
of one of the other managers until it
closes down. The officials of the
trust say that the cause for the clos
ing of this plant Is that the unions
demand too high wages and that the
cost of making starch is too hig% be-
cause of the wage scale, as com red
to their other plants. 1t is thought
that the plant will be opened this
fall, if the wage scale can be adjust
ed to their liking

Will Test Inheritance Law.

PLATTSMOUTH-Ir the admins.
tration of the estate of Barton w.
Harmer, now pending in the county
court, an interesting point has been
brought out by j. E. Douglas, attor.
ney for the heirs, involving the con-
stitutionality of the inheritance tax
law of Nebraska. The heirs, in sup
port of their application to have the
tax against the estate set aside, allege
that the inheritance tax law, which
was passed in 1901 was repealed by
the legislature of 1903, when a new
revenue law was enacted which pur-
ported to cover the entire system of
revenue for this state, but did not men
ton the inheritance tax.
