Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
zeal wreck. DR.. Miles

MELTED TOO SOON.
Automatic Extinguishers Put in Action
by Suns Heat.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The peculiar
damage case of John n. Bagley of
Detroit. Mich, versus the National
Fire Extinguisher company of New
York, was virtually decided by the su-
preme court of the United States yes
terday IN favor of the company by the
dismissal of the case. The suit grew
out of an effort by Bagley, who owns
a large store building in Detroit, to
protect his building and the lessees of
it against fire by the installation of
an automatic fire extinguisher, which
releases water through the fusing of
devices known as sprinkling heads.
The contract required these heads
should melt whenever the tempera-
ture should reach 155 degrees Fahren-
heit.
July 4. 1897, was an exceptionally
warm day and there was such a con-
centration of heat under the skylight
that the sprinkler heads were melted
in the absence of fire and the water
released. damaging the building and
its contents. The owner of the build
ing brought suit to recover. but the
United States court of appeals for the
second circuit decided against him on
the ground that the eXtinguisher com
pany had complied with its contract
and was not responsible for the dam
age. The decision of the supreme
court was announced by Justice
Holmes.

MISSING FROM HOME.
Mysterious Message to Kansas
City Paper Causes Suspicion.

What has become of Frank Keith OF
Topeka?
Is he the man Of that name who sent
a note to a Kansas City paper saying
that he would end his life and his trou-
| bles by jumping into the Kaw or Mis-
souri, river at Kansas City?
If so is he still living or dead2
Frank Keith of Topeka is missing
and man by that name in Kansas
City threatened to take his life. The
details of the letter tally in most cases
with those of Frank Keith of Topeka.
The following is the letter which was
sent to a Kansas City paper last Sum
day night:
LAS 1 have not a friend in the world
and am sick, have lost all hopes In
this life.N L am going to end 1t all to-
night by drowning myself in the river.
Il have been Independent, but am
down and out now and have lost the
last friend I had in the world, but Will
mention no names here They Will ind
out some day.
II have a rich mother and brothers
but will not say where, as 1 do not care
to live any longer.
Asking this last favor OF you, L VIII
bid you farewell.
(Signed) FRANK KEITH
Frank Keith of Topeka IS a broth
er of Dr. H. H. Keith, county coroner.
He has not been seen by MS relatives
for a week or more. Early last week,
he left for Kanapolis, Kan, where he
looked over a drug store, with a view
to possibly buy it if found satisfactory.
Keith formerly ran a drug store in
Topeka.
A letter from Keith at ANNAPOLIS
was received by his wife a few days
ago, in which he stated that he would
return to Topeka Sunday. He failed
to arrive and it has been suggested
that he may have become Respondent
over recent reverses and decided to go
through to Kansas City with a view to
ending his life.
This morning DR.. H. H. Keith, a
brother of the missing man, called up
Annapolis. and found that his brother
had left there last Monday morning.
This would tend to disprove the theory
that the Kansas City would be suicide
was the Topeka man. However, there
may have been mistake.
DR.. Keith has spent his entire time
today trying to get trace of his
brother, but without success. He is
still trying to locate him. but If not
successful he will leave for Kansas
City tonight where he will investigate
the handwriting on the note and
identify it if it is his brothers.
The Kansas City police have been
for two days on the case,
but have been unable to find any trace
of Keith Hence it is not known
he carried out his intentions
or not
