Shock Your System.
Don't jump up the first thing your
eyes are open. Remember that While
you sleep the vital organs are at rest.
The vitality is lowered and the circu!a
ton not 50 strong A sudden spring
out of bed is a shock to these organs
especially to the heart as it starts to
pumping blood suddenly.
Take your time in getting up. Yawn
and stretch; wake up slowly: give the
vital organs a chance to resume their
work gradually.
Notice how baby wakes up. 1t
stretches it's arms and legs rubs it's
eyes and yawns and wakes up slowly.
Watch kitten wake up. First it
stretches out one leg. then another,
rubs it's face. rolls over and stretches
the whole body. The birds do not wake
up and fly as soon as their eyes are
open. They shake out their wings and
stretch their legs. waking up slowly
This is the natural way to wake up.
Don't jump up suddenly. don't be in
such a hurry. nut stretch and yawn

VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
What Is Thought to Be Coal Found in
Grant County.

What is thought TO be coal has been
discovered on the farm Of Mr.. Harris
near Belfast in this county. says the
sheridan News. Mr. Harris brought
several specimens TO this city last
week and these We're sent 10 chem
isl bv Messrs. Cobb and Bouic. Judge
Cobb spent several days on the Harris
farm and made a careful examination
or the vein. II is thought TO be vein
OF Ignite coal and be found TO be
very valuable.
The farm is three miles from the
Pine Bluff and Western railroad and If
the specimens prove to be genuine
coal ii will mean much for the county
The vein could be worked easily and a
ready market could be found in Pine
Fluff and Little Rock. Some of the
specimens are on exhibition in the Of
fees of Cobb and Bouic.
The coal burns readily when placed
in the fire. Mr.. Harris has a valuable
vein and it is to be hoped that il will

badly burned Saturday night that he
died from his injuries early Sunday
morning The little fellow, with other
children, was sleeping on the floor.
Near the bed on the floor was a table
on which a lighted lamp was sitting,
aud during the night one of the other
children dragged the lamp to the floor.
The contents of the burning lamp fell
on the little fellow, setting fire to his
night clothes, and he ran screaming
from the house to the yard. He was
terribly burned about the upper part
Of the body, and, though medical aid
was summoned Immediately, it was
without avail and the little sufferer

The Nebraska and Kansas reunion
will be held at Franklin, August % to

rousing meeting held in Franklin last
Tuesday evening. When Red Cloud
made no effort to get the reunion
again this year, it was thought none
would be held, and it vas so an
nounced. But Franklin, having been
disappointed in being compelled to
abandon it's Fourth of July celebra-
ton, for which big preparations had
been made, began to look around to
find some manner of entertaining the
people and spending it's money. Last
Friday the council of administration
met and unanimously agreed to hold
the reunion at Franklin. Our only
| wish is that Franklin may furnish as
good an entertainment and have as
! large crowds as were in attendance at
| Red Cloud last fall. We are not the
least bit jealous and will do our share
toward helping our enterprising sister

Ehree daughters, of Garfield town

morning, which they will remember
for years to come Coming into town
over the hill road running east from
the river bridge they came to a culvert
shat had washed out. Two of the
daughters got out of the wagon, but
Mrs. Smith and her son Charles and
her youngest daughter remained IN
the vehicle. AS they attempted to
cross the culvert the bank gave way
and the team, wagon and occupants
were precipitated TO the bottom of
a deep gully, fully forty feet be
low The fall was almost ~perpendicu-
lar, and mt the bottom there vas q
luge rock, yet, strange as it may seem
the team was uninjured, Mrs. Smitl
and son Charles were not ever
bruised, and the little girl received
only a slight cut on the face. The
only damage to the wagon and harness

hours to get the team and Wagon

Frosted" on the Sermon.

Last Sunday evening at the union
services, the speaker of the evening
delivered "a brief, impressive address,
which was calculated to set the think
ing machinery of his hearers to work
ing. However, the effect of the SER
mon was marred by the untimely
announcement, following closely upon
the sermon, of a couple of ice cream
socials to be held during the coming
week. AS the weather was hot, the
thoughts of the cooling ice cream soon
overshadowed the pious ideas i'm
pressed on the minds of the audience.
We would suggest to pastors and
others that the proper time for an
nouncements of this character is
before, rather than after the sermon,
