CITY OFFICIALS
 REPORTED INDICTED
By Craighead County Grand Jury Which Has Been Going After
 Law Breakers.

Up to Saturday afternoon the grand jury had returned 145 in- dictments and there will proba- bly, be 15 to 25 more today, says the Jonesboro Sun. In most ot the cases it is probable that the same defendant is indicted on many counts.
 Judge Hughes has instructed the sheriff to arrest all the par ties for whom indictments have been found and see that they give bond or confne them in the county jail.
 At present most of them are out of the city. That porti on of lower Main street, where the tigers and gambling resorts have their sway, has a deserted ap' pearance, and 1t IS surprising tC note by their absence the mum. Der of young men who know something of law breaking along these lines. As fast as they re. turn, however, they will be ar. rested.

uFE ON A TORPEDO BOAT.
The Men Have to Take Their Slee2 and Food in "Catch as Catch
 Can" Fashion.

A man on a torpedo boat has to catch his sleep "on the fy." and he becomes exceedingly expert, being young and adaptable, at making up the required amount of slumber in little mosaics of an hour now, half an hour then and ten minutes later on. He becomes accus- toned to drop into a doze whenever . favorable minute arrives and he Is not on duty. and to stay in that condition until . sudden lurch of the boat shakes 1t out of him. Never at sea does he ex- pect to be able to turn in for Q full nights sleep. says writer in the Boston Globe.
 This dlfnculty of sleeping on torpedo boat at sea is one of the principal rea- sons why the fleet of destroyers sent to Manila had an itinerary arranged for 1t which provided for 90 days spent in port and only 70 at sea. This 90 days of rest against 70 of active seagoing is calculat- ed to be about the limit of endurance of . picked crew on torpedo boat. A de- stroyer, 1t must me remembered. Is only . torpedo boat of . larger growth. and not SO much larger as to make any mate rial difference in the amount of dtscom. fort and strain put upon the crew. espe- cially where the theater of action Is the open ocean.
 A man who has had much service on . torpedo boat said to the writer:
 "It Is not only sleep with which you have to play catch as catch can on board . torpedo boat, but you have to play taa with your food as we'll If there was anything like sea on. we never used to think of sitting down to table, but took such food as we could get in one hand and ate it while we held on with the other.
 "A great part of the time cooking waa next to impossible, and cold canned stuff, or what was left over of the stun which had been cooked in port. had to suffice us, and we grabbed that as we could and when we could.
 "The cook always. or almost always used to make coffee for us. though how he managed 1t was a mystery. Tor though he used to lash .he coffee poi to the top of the stove and toe down the lid, the pitching and the rolling oa the boat in a heavy seaway would spiI . large portion of the contents of the pot l out through the spout.
 "Then cookey would put cork in 1 the mouth of the spout. and when the boiling coffee generated steam enough tho lid would blow of. or the cork would Ay out. Altogether, 1t was only by tho exercise of indefatigable energy and skill of the sort which ought to have been recognized In general orders that finally enough coffee would be manufac- turad to give each man cup.

FOR A WEAK DIGESTION.
Attention to Diet and Outdoor Exer-
else Often All That Is Needed
to Lessen This III.

Weak digestive powers. are often due
to muscular weakness as well as poor
digestive fluids. When such is the
case. close attention should be. paid tc
the development Of the muscular sys.
tenn by regular out-of-door exercise
Working in flower gardens will be es.
pecially adapted to women. If, on the
other hand. it is due largely to a de.
generation Of the gastric juices much
attention should be paid to dietary
regimen. Regularity CT eating is of
first Importance. If the stomach seems
to be overloaded, and there is a heavy.
feeling in the gastric region. it may
be necessary to take a very small
amount Of food, and take it four or
five times day, in which case the
food must be light and bland. If milk
seems to ''set well'' on the stomach.
it will often be beneficial to take a
milk diet, or bread toasted, with milk
for week or two, and gradually come
back to other articles of food. Gus.
tard may serve to good advantage.
Regular outdoor exercise must be in
sisted upon while dieting. Resting
with a hot-water bag on the stomach
half an hour after each meal will be
serviceable Rubbing the stomach and
bowels is also recommended Health.

Effects Of Prosperitv

IN the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903
average prices Of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent. and
clothing 241. All these were products
of the farmer and stockman who
proflted more than any other class of
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent. by
thai advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates,
which decreased from .79S per ton-mile
in 1897 to 1853 in 1903, a loss Of A
per cent. The report Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission shows that the
average increase in the pay of rail-
road employees in that period was a
trifle above 8.5 per cent.

that ever useful remedy, hot water,
will often prove very effective It is
much better than the ordinary cough
mixture, which disorder the digestion
and spoil the appetite. Water almost
boiling should be slipped when the

hot water through the promotion Of
