TRAGIC INSOMNIA.
murderous Rage Caused by Lack of
Sleep Proved Fatal to Two PEOPLE,

fearful tragedy recently occurred,
in Philadelphia where g. prominent
chemist shot both his wife and himself
after desperate struggle. His physi-
clans are reported as saving that the
terrible affair was due to mental de-
rangement caused by sleeplessness.
Many suffer from this cause without
knowing how to obtain relief while
their condition daily grows more des-
perate. All such will read with inter-
est how Mr.. Thomas Hessian, of South
Hampton, n. H., finally succeeded in
Kidding himself If an attack of insom-
mia which baffled the skill Of his phy-
stefan.
Mr.. HeSsian is farmer ard is in the
habit of retiring very early. 1t was IT.,
April, 1908, that he. found he could no
longer get tie sleep that he needed to
fit him for his days duties
Il would turn from one side to an
other in bed" says Mr.. Hessian, but I
could not get over fifteen minutes sleep
before | was awake again, and when I
got up in the morning ! was more tired
than whcE 1 went to bed at night.
cOnsulted d physician, who said | had
Insomnia. He prescribed for me. hut
his medicine did me no good and | be-
gan to feel that l would have to Civ g
up work altogether.
while | was in this miserable state
and utterly discouraged. | CHANGED to
see an advertisement of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and was so
impressed by the evident truthful-
ness of the statements made that !:
made up my mind to give the remedy Il
trial.
1T WAS in JuEe that | took my first
dose Of the pills. Before ] had finished
the first box noticed a slight improve
ment in my condition. and as cnntin-
ued to use the remedy the benefit
became more marked until, when the
fifth box was gone, | could enjoy a
sound reStful sleep and wake III. in the
morning refreshed and ready to take
up my work with my old time energy
My health has since remained excel
lent; | have Il good appetite, strength
To do II hard days work and ability to
sleep soundly and to wake up in buoy
ant spirits"
Insomnia ultimately wrecks health
completely ard renders the victim un-
fit for any mental or physical work.
It's earliest manifestations should be
regarded as a grave menace and should
be checked 1T once.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are a safe
as well as an effectual remedy. They
contGin no opidtcS, but furnish elements
to the blood which put the whole sys-
tenn in Il condition i'll which sleep be-
comes perfectly natural. They are
sold by all druggists throughout the
world.

A PLAIN TALK.

There is no getting around the
fact, unpleasant as it may appear
to some, that the staple money
crop of the South--the very staff
upon which the farmer of moderate
means must depend for his cash
supply-iS cotton. At times, of
course, there is "no money" in cot
ton, but can we not truthfully say
the same of any other product,
stock included? The News could
tell of fortunes lost in small grain
farming and of money, lots of it,
being sunk in the stock business,
but these are matters known to all
observers and for the purpose of
this article the mention alone is
sufficient.
Stock farming is all right. The
two and four section man can make
money on the plains provided he
runs his place on business lines.
Grain farming would likely also
prove success on the plains but
in each of these avocationS more
capital is required than the average
farmer can command and then
again, a very important matter.
there cannot be from the very ma
ture of things, enough of these
stock and grain men in county to
make one good town. To make it
palmer, the News announces the
right here, that if Ran
dali county is not and cannot be
made farming country we have
about all the people in it now that
are needed-more settlers would
be too many. And we might say
further, as did citizen of Deaf
Smith, in writing to "The Brand"
"lf we can't raise cotton here or
some other staple money crop, sew
eral of us that are already here
will have to move"
We are up against this PROPOSE
ton hard and fast, both country
and town, and let US solve it like
men having a proper regard for the
rights of others.

"MIGHT HAVE BEEN"

The other day after tucking
the midday lunch under our belt
where it would do the most
good, the writer leaned back in
the once easy chair, tossed his
feet upon the desk, let his eyes
study the ceiling while he in.
dulged in a little calculation.
Just how long we sat there
we are at a loss to know. Final
ly our calculations were disturb
ed by the entrance of a being;
the form of man was outlined
before us; in his right hand he
held sheet of paper, and the
lips of the man spoke unto us:
Here is copy for an ad to be
inserted in the News this year"
Our eyes fell upon the copy and
we clearly saw the letters,
"R. G. o. e Co. the initials
of general merchandise estab-
lishment down the street from
this office. We hung the copy
upon the hook and the messen
ger disappeared as silently as
he came.
But another raised the latch
and entered. We can almost
hear his rich, baritone words
yet: Here's copy for an ad tor
you; give US as good space as
you can" The nicely curved
letters, &c. G. Fl. & G.. Co.,"
smiled up at us, and we knew it
was the new business in the
brand new building that looms
up so nicely even in a sand
storm. "Click" went the copy
as we pushed the ad hook
through it. Vision No. 9 wad.
died off down the street.
Number 3 appeared. He had
the appearance of an old
time friend we used to know,
who was engaged in the general
mercantile business. Here"
said the vision, ''here's copy
for half page"
He got no further. In reach
ing for that half.page, in some
manner we slipped and fell
from the chair and awoke. We
looked for the copy.
Pshaw! twas all a dream.
But it might prove reality
some time.

UP AND DOING.

Canyon City should not forget
the lesson that every growing towr
must learn, which is that all growth
depends on keeping something 60.
ing on. The holiday season has
long since passed and the business
lethargy that in every town and
city is accustomed to follow few
days in their wake should not be
prolonged nor allowed to work over
time. Canyon City should at
once be up and doing, shake her.
self, and get ready for 1904.
Something must be kept "going
on" What is being done to secure
more of the trade to the south that
is naturally tributary to Canyon
City, Concerted action is what
we mean. Outside of an effort on
the part of a limited number of our
business men, who is doing any,
thing to bring this about' Leaders
are what we want in this instance;
the balance will have to follow.
The enterprise that does not fall in
line and furnish the necessary in
ducements will be left behind before
the season is over. This particular
proposition is one that stares Can
yon City square in the face this
present instant and it's about time
this matter was being pushed. If
you want evidence of this position
it will be readily furnished. Some
systematic, cooperative work in
time among the business men of
the town can command all of the
trade halfway between here and
the Texas & Pacific Ry., that is
now being angled for by towns that
have an eye out for business.
With the proposed Santa Fe cut
off in view what is being done to
show this road that Canyon City
is ION the map" and that this
would be the best point on the line
for permanent improvements
And so other "enterprises of pith
and moment" might be named.
Canyon City must bestir herself
She must be up and doing. All
things may come to those who wait
but all these things are wanted
right now without the waiting. Now
is the accepted time. Will not
someone give the ball of public en-
terprise and growth another kick in
the right direction1 Do it now;
keep it rolling on.
