 Stanford Is fortified in his house in the center of Plateau surrounded by an angry mob of nearly two hundred arm
 Four deputies from the County Jail are en route to the scene. It is ex- pected that before they arrive Stan ford will have been hanged.
 Both Stanford and the girl live in Plateau.
 The four deputy sheriffs who hurried to Plateau where Stanford was barri- caded in his home arrived just in time to prevent him from being lynched, as two attempts had been made to get into his house. He was arrested and lodged in the county jail.
 He says that tho father of the girl Elijah Hill, Is prosecuting him on ac- count of grudge caused by him knowing too much about the way Hill is living with woman as his wife.
 Hill and other negro neighbors claim that Stanford accomplished his purpose and propose to prosecute him.

AIlien to Prenent Plan.

Chicago. June S.-The anti-Taft forces today resolved to prevent South ern delegations from hereafter oon- trolling Republican Conventions. They declare that they will submit 1t to the convention next week.
 The idea is identical with the plan proposed in the Republican National Convention of 1900 by Senator Quay of Penneyivania, but which failed of passage at that time.
 This plan, if adopted. will give to each State four delegates-at-large. and one for every 10000 Republican votes cast at the last preceding Presidential eieotlon. The effect would be to cut ofr approximately is0 delegates from tha Southern States, and add approxi- mately i5O to the Northern States. All of the Northern States would gain ex- cepting Massachusetts and Nevada. th e latter being considered as a Northern state by the packers of the plan.l These would lose one delegate each.
 The States gaining most heavily in representation would be Ohio, which would increase by seventeen, and In- diana, which would increase eleven.

IN BEDTIME HOURS
SHORT DISCOURSE ON PROPER
METHODS OF SLEEP.
ritter Declares the Human Race Doe s
Not Know How Properly to Woo
"Nature's Sweet Restorcr"-
Beware the Snorer.

Man Is the only animal that sleeps
on Its back, says the New York Press
Many animals sleep on their sides,
but most sleep prone--that Is. face
down. Dogs never dream when prone,
but invariably do so when sleeping
on their side. All of us from the
country have seen Bung, the hound,
chasing rabbits in his sleep An ami.
NAL would be perfectly helpless IL 1t
slept on it's back. And so is man help
less in that position.
If some other fellow wants fortune
let him invent a pillow that will allow
man or woman or child to sleep face
down without having to twist the neck
nearly out of joint. We still style It
the "backup cure" and introduce 1t in
all homes. There Is no excuse for
lying on the back and keeping the
spine hot all night. while the front Of
the body-the abdomen, the stomach
the chest, the throat, etc---is allowed
to become chilled. A hot spine is a
disease generator And, on the other
hand cold spine Is death.
Snoring is an internal nuisance to
every one except the snorer. People
who sleep on their fronts never snore.
Those who sleep on their backs in
variably do. The palate as we know
1t is the roof of the mouth and the
floor of the nose Some style it the
hard palate. Back near the throat is
the soft palate. When you sleep on
your back this gets down about the
breathing apparatus and you snore.
Some snores are worse than the mid
night howl of hyena. Never marry
woman that shores. Ask her before
you propose II she is addicted to snor.
ing, and II she says yea" avoid her.
1t Is much easier to relax when
sleeping on your front. than when
sleeping on your back And what we
all need after touching the bed at
night Is relaxation. It is billion
pities that some scientist cannot teach
the art Of relaxing. Our strenuous
life, Of course. is not blameless in this
matter. We go to bed in excitement,
and the nerves are strung all night.
That is to say. we 60 to bed in full
tune, like piano. and cannot possibly
let the strings down. Therefore we
do not rest. Could we relax we could
sleep four or Ave hours and arise re-
freshed; but as we cannot relax, we
groan and dream and sweat and roll
over and have reWorse for eight or
nine hours, and get up with swelled
head.
Every man and woman in this coun.
try was brought up with the notion
that II the feet were higher than the
head in sleeping all the blood would
rush to the head and cause strangula-
ton. This Is the veriest rot. Ad-
vanced physicians now advocate the
elevated feet for the cure of insomnia.
Hang your legs over the footboard,
get rid of your pillow, and go to sleep
like an infant. You are on your feet
all day and half the night Stand on
your head the rest of the night and let
the blood circulate the other way.
Maybe your brain needs 1t.
