pounds and is beauty for color

Get a Western Man.

Get a Western man" is get
ting to be common cry in the
East. 1t was heard a good deal
when Harvard had a choice to
make. There is a suspicion
abroad that; the West" is a
good place to raise men; that the
physical and mental conditions
are favorable out there for
growing folks; that the spirit of
the West is wholesome, its air
inspiring, and its educational
apparatus easily adequate to give
to energetic minds the necessary
tools to work with. Even so far
East as Oberlin. Ohio, it is noted
that they raise some inquiring
chaps whose inquisitiveness is
persistent and brings interesting
results.
That is a wonderful nursery of
human life that stretches from
the Alleghanies to the Rockies,
Astounding in space and nourish-
ment for body, mind and soul.
There are coming out of that
great nursery great children,
whose thoughts and discoveries
and deeds will do for human life,
wherever it exists, greater and
greater services than any pro-
phet dare predict. "-Harper's

Nature Repairs the Human Engine
The activities of the day cause
more or less waste of tissues in the
human engine, which is repaired at
night during sleep.
The man or woman who can sleep
well at nights, is sure of the neces-

But let insomnia get hold of you

self a helpmate other than by the Gus
tomary procedure, preferring to pur-
chase one off the seemingly well filed
market, Edward Berend, a farmer re-
siding several miles north of Daven-
port, was separated from nearly $500,
and to answer to the charge of obtain
ing his signature under false pre-
lenses, William Bannick and Otto
Schneckloth are now held by the au-
thorities. They have been released on
bonds until their hearing. an investi-
cation now being made at the instiga-
ton of the grand jury to ascertain in
how far these two young men may be
held. The story Of the clever game in
which the elderly gentleman was the
loser is to the effect that some time
ago Bannick. who was solicitor for
the Guaranty Mutual Life Insurance
company, wrote Berend up for $4,000
policy and accepted the payment of
$179 as the premium. Through this he
became engaged in conversation about
not having a wife, and the agreement
is said to have been made between the
parties that the two young men were
to furnish Berend with a spouse for a
stipulated amount, which is variously
rated from $500 to $1,000. Berend was
then taken to this city, where the field
was looked over. 1t is said that the
intending purchaser of a wife looked
over field of eight applicants in Dav-
export and then moved to Rock Island
in his search and inspected the market
there. The search in Rock Island was
not so successful, some difficulty be-
ing found in each instance. Two blank
checks were secured from Berend, and
these, it is alleged, were filed out by
the two young men and cashed. At
the German Savings bank they secur-
ed S347 and at the Walcott Savings
bank they drew $199.
