SLEEP is PRICELESS,
But It Can Be Obtained by Simple
Methods.

Are you a hard worker? Are you
overcome with fatigue at the end CT
each days labor, and instead of retir-
ing to bed with a feeling of satisfaction
at the prospect Of nights repose, do
you wait the hour of bedtime with
dread and shrinking?
Is it your unhappy lot to be awaken
ed every night. just after YOU have
dropped off to sleep, by an intense, I'M
comfortable itching of the rectum? Do
you then endeavor to relieve the sens.
alton by scratching so desperately that
the skin becomes raw and lacerated
and you finally sink into the sleep of
exhaustion?
If 50, you do not need to be told that
you are afflicted with itching piles
You have probably tried every remedy
you could hear of. with but Temporal,
relief, if any, and have concluded there
was nothing left for you but to drag
out q miserable existence. AS n

If the old trouble should ever return

DUNN'S FUTILE ESCAPE

ST. JOSEPH, No, March 11.-Mark Dunn.
the murderer, was hanged here at 1870
o'clock to-day.
Dunn went 10 the scaTold attended by
a minister. Doctors had examined him and
had said his condition was such that there
was no reason VII tho execution should
not proceed. The result was telegraphed
to Governor Dockery and he said he would
not interfere. On the scaffold Dunn charged
that his conviction was the result of a con-
spiracy and that Fenton was shot by a
man named Fisher. Dunn's neck was
broken by the drop.
Dunn left 4 letter TO his wife to be deliv-
cred 10 her after his execution, which In
part reads as follows:
Remember that / am innocent of the
crime for which | am hanged. Hold W
your head. Teach our baby boy from his
infancy that his father was an honest man
and that he was hanged for a crime he
never committed. The real murderer of my
friend Burt Fenton some Gay will be
knoWn."
The crime for which Dunn was hanged
was the murder of Alfred Fenton, a
wealthy young farmer of Nashville. Mo.
Dunn broke Jail on Monday by overpower-
ing his guards, but was taken sick, and
was retaken without resistance at a hotel
in Guildford on Thursday.

WASHINGTON. March u.-Public Printer
Palmer indicated to the House mi
on appropriations to-day that this year he
Will begin the equipment of the Govern
ment Printing Office with typesetting ma
chimes.
To-day Mr.. Palmer was asked by the COM
mittee on the sundry civil appropriation
bill If he considered that any legislative
authority was deemed necessary by him to
introduce labor-saving machinery in his Of
fee. He answered that he cid not, and
made the further explanation that labor
saving machinery had been introduced into
every other branch of work except the COM
posing room of the Office without SUCH au-
thOrity. He explained further that during
the past twelve years he had made Il close
study Of the development OF the typesetting
machine. and had considered il in a crude
state UP TO within the past twelve months.
Since that time a very decided development
had been made. and had he equipped the
Office prior to that time the machines to-
day would have been obsolete.
This statement, taken In connection with
the first, that he deemed that he had au-
thority without special act to take this
step, left no doubt in the mind of the COM
mittee that the purchase of machines will
be begun out of the appropriation to be
made in the pending sundry civil bill.
