MYSTERIES OF SLEEP.

II Is related OF a Chinese merchant
who was convicted Of wife-murder
and sentenced to die by being depriv-
ed Of sleep. that he was placed in
prison with guards changed hourly
for the purpose OF preventing him
from sleeping. After the commence
ment Of the eighth day his suffering
was so intense that he implored the
authorities to strangle. guillotine.
burn him. drown him. garrotte, shoot.
quarter. blow up with gunpowder. or
put him TO death in any conceivable
way.
It is commonly supposed that the
greatest depth Of sleep occurs about
the end Of the first hour. This. how
ever. is not invariably the rule, ac-
cording TO my own observations in
the Cook county (Chicago) insane
asylum. made some years ago. when
I spent two successive nights hourly
testing the depth of sleep by light.
sound and touch. 4 majority Of the
10 cases I had under observation
showed the greatest depth to be al
about 5 a m. More recently Drs-
Sante de Sanctis and y. Neyros. at the
University Of Rome, tested the depth
Of sleep in four normal persons by
pressure upon the temple. One OF
these showed the greatest depth oi
sleu IN the second and fifth hours
while the other showed the greatest
depth between the first and second
/ hours.

FUEL IN UMATILLA COUNTY.

one Of the best results Of the Pen
Rock railroad will be to
cheaper and increase the fuel supply
in this and other towns Of the county.
The wood yards in Pendleton are
now more completely cleaned out
than ever before since the railroad
has been in operation over the Blue
mountains. Fuel has been higher
priced the past year than ever before.
and the supply on the Blue mountains
Is becoming more uncertain each year.
The Pilot Rock railroad will tap a
rich yellow pine district to the south
and east Of that place. This timber
belt is the ultimate goai Of the road
for the mountains to the south are
covered with a splendid forest, which
will give the city fuel supply that
will Be inexhaustible.
In addition to relieving the fue
situation in this part Of the country

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

The elections this fall will not only

of its political majority being over

must run their chances. SO far as in
creasing their strength in the senate
is concerned. the democrats have very
little hope for the coming elections.
They cannot expect to gain in any
state except possibly in West Virginia.

buildings valued at ss40.555,sH were

Of permits given in 1904 was 1891

Doing Things at Palermo.

Four steam plows are doing
business in the Palermo country,
which has been proven to be a
good farming country as well as
fitted for raising stock. A farm
er's elevator with a capacity OF
$4,000 bu. and several other ele-
vators are soon to be built.
Town lots have recently raised in
value, but there are from 400 to
1000 left which can be bought
from $50 to $3.50. One hundred
and fifty lots have been sold this
spring. Several fine buildings
are being erected. Carpenters,
stone masons, farm hands, are
wanted badly. Horses and cat
tie bring a very good price on
the market. Withal, the owner
of the townsite, j. c. Hoff, has
much reason to feel jubilant over
the prospects.

Serious Cutting ARRAY.

Peter Larson, a carpenter, was
cut in the right side with a knife
in the hands OF another carper-

Saturday night, on east First
street. A cash six or eight
inches was cut in his side and the
man had a very close call. He
was taken to the office of a sur
geon where the wound was dress
I'd, and he is growing better.
Fraser has disappeared.
The trouble was OF long stand
ing. During the week the men
worked together and had some
alteration when Larson struck
Fraser across the wrist with a
hand saw, .iniuring him quite
badly. Fraser resented this, but
said little about the assault
made upon him, but lay for his
chance to get even Saturday
night. Officers are looking for
Fraser, but the man has evident.

Voter, have you seen such a
statement? Do you know what

How are we to know that ev-

the support or the republicans of Ward
county at the primary election to be
held June 18th. I am in favor of a re-
vision of the present primary election

Legislative district has for many years
been deprived of an equal representa-
ton with other parts of the the state in
our legislature, and as new apportion-
ment is to be made at the coming ses-
sion, if nominated and elected, l will
use my best efforts to obtain the repre-
sentatlon, both in the Senate and in the
House, to which our district is entitled
by reason of the increased population.
l pledge myself to work for the best in
terest of the 10Th Legislative District
and the State of North Dakota.

Tightening Down on Settlers.

J. w. Mich, who resides south
of town, ascertained Monday
when he attempted to make final
proof on his claim, that Uncle
Samuel had frightened down on
the homesteaders another notch,
and has postponed the date Of
making proof indefinitely. Mr..
Mich has a choice homestead,
worth several thousand dollars
and does not propose to lose it
either. He filed two years ago
and has lived there actually, and
farmed it ever since. He was
away three months one winter
visiting friends in Minnesota,
and for this reason the landoffce
turned the proof down. 1t seems
that the government is going to
make a prisoner of a man in or
der to allow him to prove up at
all. Mich has nine acres broken
and a good house and barn.
