MANY FOLLOW WITH LAND SUITS
Settlers Along Oregon & California
Road Seek Lands Under Grant.


Tacoma, Wash.-The suit brought in
the federal court by Roy w. Minckler
to compel the Oregon & California
railroad to sell to him 80 acres in the
original grant in Clarke county for
$3.50 an acre is to be followed by sim
liar suits against the Northern Pacific
and other railroads in this state.
According to attorneys who are
handling the cases approximately
100000 acres of the railroad grant
lie in Washington, which, under the
terms of the grant, must be put on the
market at $3.50 an acre. Failure to
comply with these terms, it is said
will invalidate the entire grant.
1t is expected that the actions
against the Northern Pacific will be
commenced with test case from Lew
is county similar to that brought
against the Oregon & California. The
compliments are settlers who have
established homes within the railroad
grants.

 The same pretty g1rls and the same clever comedians will be seen tonight in different characters, and the come- dians will be just as funny as before and the girls will be just as pretty as they were yesterday though of course they will be day older.
 The bill tonight will consist of a curtain raiser called "Euchered" which will be followed by the Irish Aristoc- racy," an excellent farce comedy. In this play Miss Favar who made quite a hit in the Doing of Dooley'' with her merry widow song and her whirl- ing Dervish dance. will be given a child part in which she is inimitable. Miss Favar by the way was quite se- verely injured in her whiriinS dance at last nights performance. As she dropped to the floor she cut her knee and was unable to respond to the en- core though she came out bravely with faint little bow in response.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
 WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this terrible disease? It prevails in that far-away country-Africa-e specially the Congo district It is caused by the bite of the tsetse fly. When 1t bites person, the sleeping symptoms begin and finally the sufferer sleeps until death occurs.
 Contrast this with the peaceful. balmy sleep of health. Is there any, thing more wearing than to lie awake at night, tossing about, nervous, with cold feet, hot head and mercy knows what else? Short of letting the tsetse fly bite us we would do almost any, thing for relief. How can we pre- vent it? MT. George Hayes, of Union City, Pa. writes: "T had lost my appetite, was all rundown, could not sleep nights. I had tried every thing without relief Vinol was rec commended, and to my surprise, 1t helped me at once; gave me a splendid appetite, and now I sleep soundly."
 What Vinol did for MT. Hayes, it will do for every rundown, nervous and oveTworked person who cannot sleep.
