CURE FOR MUSCULAR FATIGUE
Best Method Of Obtaining Sound and
Refreshing Sleep.

Real fatigue may be divided into
the mental and muscular varieties.
The latter is decidedly the simpler Of
The two. Where one has 50 overworked
physically that one cannot sleep, the
drst thing TO do is to learn to relax.
IN such q case the first thing to do is
to take . warm bath, into which lit
Ne rock salt has been dropped to coun-
seract the weakening effect Of hot wa
ter. Then shut out every ray Of light
lrom your bedroom and lie fat on
your back. Do not close your eyes and
think desperately Of going to sleep. In
stead. devote yourself entirely to the
subject Of keeping your eyes open. II
they close, open them; II necessary,
even prop them open with your hn-
gers; whatever you do, continue to
stare wide-eyed into the darkness, and
most important Of all, think Of that
one question only. In about Eve min
utes you will be so sleepy that no will
power on earth could keep you awake
The one cure for fatigue is rest, and
after prolonged physical effort the
paramount issue is 10 get to sleep I'M
medlateiy. and to sleep as long as pos
sabis.

NEEDS TWENTY INCH PIPE
Repairs Should Have Been Made on
Well Years Ago.

1t will probably be necessary to
put down twenty inch pipe in the
Broad street we'll, which is the largest
size. The well has leaked so much
that it has worked out a large cav
ity deep under the ground, and the
pressure of the water sways the ten
inch pipe from side to side when
it is let down. With the largest
sized pipe it is. hoped to cover the
opening in the rock and thus stop the
leakage. When this has once been
done, the rest of the work will be
easy.
City Engineer Wilson states that
this well ought to have been repiped
fifteen years ago. Now there is
scarcely anything left Of the old pipe
and the water has enlarged the hole
so greatly that it is difficult to put
the new pipe down in the same place
The leak has got to be, stopped at no
matter what expense, as it will de
stroy the street in time, and break the
sewer and water systems. The twenty
inch pipe costs SIS a foot. The city
would have been saved thousands of
dollars had repairs been made in time.

VETERAN ANSWERS THE CALL
Aaron Douglas, Who Died at Amboy
on Saturday Of Pneumonia.

Aaron Douglas, one of the best
known farmers in Sterling, for several
years past a resident of Amboy, died
at his, home Saturday morning after
an illness of two weeks, that started
with globular pneumonia.
The deceased was born at Harmony
Penn, and was one of twelce children,
eight of whom were boys, and he was
the first of the eight boys to die His
brother, James, lives in Sterling. He
was seveHty-two years of age, and is
survived by his wife and one son,
Mcclellan Douglas, of Millbank, S. d.,
and two daughters, Miss Ida of Am
boy and Mrs. Whaling of North Da-
kota. One son died fourteen years ago.
Mr.. Douglas enlisted in Company 1,
l05th Pennsylvania Infantry, in De-
tober, 1861, and was mustered out in
Dec 26, 1868. In the battle of Gettys-
burg he was shot through the lung,
and an older brother carried him a
mile to get him off the battlefield.
While thus being carried, he was shot
again in the leg. Five brothers served
in the war.
After the close of the war Mr..
Douglas came to Blue Earth county
and located on farm in Sterling, and
lived there until his removal to Am
boy. He was an upright man, highly
respected by all, strictly honorable,
and well liked by everybody. His
death is greatly regretted.
Funeral services were held at two
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the
Presbyterian church at Amboy, and
were conducted by Rev. L. Ross Paden
of this city. The attendance was
large, and long line of carriages fol-
lowed the remains to Sterling ceme-.
terry, where they were inferred.

DEPosIToRs WON'T LOSE.
Aged President Of West Point Bank
Will Sacrifice Fortune


Fort Madison. Feb. 21.--There are no
bank failure, tho little can be
CLEANED of it's affairs, from various
sources. they are probably in most
deplorable condition.
For some time it has been rumored
that the bank was not in a very sound
condition. tho this rumor did not
reach the people generally, and when
the crash came it was doubtless a sur
prise to many.
Mr.. Riley Smith, of Colusa. H., the
aged father of Lawrence Smith, the
cashier of the bank. and president of
the institution, was in the city ell
route to West Point. Mr. Smith is a
retired farmer, tho he owns about 700
acres of the best land in Illinois. which
he rents out
He knows nothing of the condition
of the bank only as reported weekly
to him by his son. He is about seventy
years old and in quite health The
failure is a sad blow to him, and may
deprive him of his entire possessions.
tho it is hoped that the affairs of
the bank may not be that serious Mr..
Smith says that he will make good
every dollar. His son sent him word
Saturday evening of the condition of
the institution and also stated that he
had made up his mind to leave. and did
so that night, without even word for
his family, who are greatly troubled
over his disappearance.
