Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
il you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality

SWIMMER
WINS WAGER
New York Herald)

Julius Leck. a member of the police
department. stationed at the Delaney
street station, swan through He'll
Gate yesterday. To add to the wonder
Of the feat. he towed skin holding
three men in a flood tide, which was
running five miles an hour.
Leck swan the two miles between
Eighty-fourth street and Scaley Rock
in twenty-five minutes. At the end
OF the swim he climbed into the Skin
unassisted and rowed it back to the
starting point.
Hundreds on the shores and aboard
ferry and excursion boats cheered the
man as he ployed his way through
the turbulent waters. In the rough
est part of the passage, among the
eddies and whirlpools between Hal
let's and Niger Points, the passing
of the Government steamer Gen. JOS
eph Johnston tossed up white-capped
rollers four or five feet high. Leck
was submerged more than half the
time for distance of 100 yards, while
the bouncing of the skiff he was tow
ing often jerked him halfway out OF
the water, but he never lost a stroke.
When Scaley Rock was reached he
swan on for 200 yards to show that
he still was fresh.
Leck's feat was undertaken as the
result of discussion among mem
bers of the Cygnet Boat Club as to
whether or not it were possible to
swim through He'll Gate. Many per-
sons had tried it and failed Leck
declared that he not only could make
the swim. but could tow a boat while
doing it.

MARSHALL FIELDS
LARGE RANCH
WHICH COST e5 CENTS AN ACRE,
/ SELLS FOR $3.50 PER ACRE
IN NEBRASKA.

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 13.--The En-
luuirer,s Omaha special says: The
big ranch of the late Marshall Field,
of Chicago, in Stanton County, Neb,,
was sold in parcels today There
were several purchasers, This sale
breaks up what was the largest lndi-
vidual holding of land in Nebraska.
In early days syndicate, headed
by David Cunningham, of Cadez, O.,
located township of land in stanton
County, which was purchased from
the Government with college Script"
This script had been purchased by the
syndicate and made the cost OF the
land about SIS cents an acre.
The syndicate failed to pay the tax
es levied by the State and the land
was sold at tax sale by Stanton Coun-
ty. The owners then instituted suit
attacking the validity of the levy ana
for several years the case occupied
the attention of Judges OF several
courts. The plaintiffs finally lost the
case and were compelled to pay the
taxes. Cunningham came to the re-
lief of his associates and paid the
taxes, but was compelled to sell the
land to secure himself. The township
was bought by Marshall Field, with
the exception of tract secured by
Joseph A. Conner, who has held about
5000 acres since that time. The land
was sold to Marshall Field at an aver
age of SO an acre. At the sale the
average price was $3.50 an acre.

GEORGIA'S WINE
BILL UNPAID

(Atlanta Special to the New York
Tribune.)
The large bill rendered to the State
of Georgia for champagne used on
Georgia day at the jamestown Exposi-
ton is stirring up the Georgia Com
mission and Gov. Hoke Smith. Wine
is politically most unpopular in Geor-
gia just now, and Gov Hoke Smith
has refused to pay the bill, which was
sent by New York wine firm. ~
A curious feature of the matter is
that the members of the commission
will not admit any knowledge OF the
use Of the champagne. President
Mitchell says the wine was sent on
approval, to be paid for if it was found
good. AS no one admits drinking the
wine, it could not have been approved,
and therefore 1t is argued that the
New York firm has no claim on the
State.
But Gov Smith wants to know who
ordered the wine, and, above all, who
drank 1t. Not only has he disap-
proved the wine bill, but he has re-
fused to pay bill which the commits
mission incurred under the head Of
entertaining" and he is curious about
the bill for cut flowers ordered by
President Mitchell. The Governor
wants to know who got the flowers,
but nobody will tell.

CHICKENS

Mr.. A. G. Smith, electrician for the
Columbia Water & Light Co., Is orig
mating a new breed of chickens that
hid fair to become the favorite OF the
housewives of the entire country. For
a number of years Mr.. Smith has real
lied how much WORK and worry are
entailed upon the housewives and
cooks by reason of the feathers on
the chickens. For instance, the
preacher arrives unexpectedly just be-
fore meal time, with no meat in the
house except bacon, and mighty rat
bacon at that. OF course with the
appearance of the preacher ones
thoughts naturally turn to chickens,
for their love of nicely fried spring
chicken with batter cakes and gravy
is proverbial; but there is not time
to pick, dress and fry a chicken, so
the preacher eats fat bacon and
breaches mighty poor sermon In
consequence. If it were not for the
feathers on the chicken, it would have
taken no time at all to dress the fowl
and fry it, and the preacher would
have been happy and would have de-
Iivered a strong and moving dis
course. M
Then there is Rastus. AS
straws show which way the wind
blows, feathers have led the. way to
the door of many chicken thief. 1t
could be easily seen therefore that a
featherless chicken was thing much
desired, and Mr.. Smith started out to
breed the featherless chicken. He
selected each year from his flock OF
fowls. chickens that were not well
feathered,. and used them for breed
ing purposes. The next year the pro-
duce of these fowls, having still less
feathers, were selected and kept for
breeding. Mr. Smith followed out
this plan with signal success, and this
year has reached perfection his
chicks were Matched without that soft
down usually found on young chicks,
and although the chickens are now
large frying size, they still have not
even a cestage of down or feathers, but
are otherwise as thrifty and sprightiy
as the ordinary fowl.
OF course there are some drawbacks
to raising the new fofws. In summer
they sunburn badly and would doubt
less have to be rubbed each night
with cold cream, should. Nthe owner
decide to take them to chicken show.
,, In winter they will have to be kept by
the fire or provided with warm winter
clothing. In the breeding season they
will have to stick strictly to laying
and leave the sitting Of the eggs and
lowering of the featherless chicks to
biddies of another breed or to the
rapidly increasing manufactured incu-
bator and brooder.
Gentle reader, you may think TINS
lie but Mr.. Smith has the chickens
to prove 1t.
