HINTS FOR THE SLEEPLESS

For those who are subject to in
somnia, that troublesome of all
complaints: try deep breathing
and rid the mind of all thought as
far as possible. .....
Remove all clothing worn through
the day and sleep on hard bed
Relax all the muscles even of the
jaws. Have plenty of fresh air
coming into the sleeping room all
the time with sufficient covering to
keep warm. A small pillow or
none at all is best as the more
nearly horizontal the body is the
less effort is needed by the heart to
send the blood to the extremities.
Do not sleep in a room with gas
or lamp burning, or where it has
been using up the oxygen for some
hours.
Another point to be remembered
is the food of a person subject to
insomnia. Nothing should be eaten
for the evening meal which is at al
disturbing to the digestion.
Associate with restful people; DE-
not study and burden the mint

Children under sixteen years can
not be employed in New Jersey
factories according to a law just
passed.
Two of the Winnipeg, Manitoba,
seats and perhaps three, will be
contested by the labor party in
the next provincial election.
In order to hold their fitting
boy employees, three glass factory
proprietors at Fasentum, Pa, pro-
posed to erect a hotel just for such
lads.
In Rhode Island new law pro-
vides that no child under sixteen
years of age shall work alters p.
m. Nearly one thousand children
in the state are affected.
The United Garment Workers of
America have, been great sufferers
as result of the prison output of
shirts, overalls, trousers and the
like, used by workingmen in their
trade. ia
The giving of a commission or
bonus to domestic servants or other
making purchases for their en-
ployers is made an offense in New
Jersey and Washington. The re-
ceiving of tips by walters in hotels
and restaurants and the giving Of
such tips is also prohibited in these
states.

during the evening. A glass of
warm milk slipped slowly just be-
fore retiring has been helpful to
many, while others find dry
cracker good to allay the call gone"
feeling some people have during
the night. In extreme cases an ice
bag at the back Of the head and
neck and a hot water bag at the
feet have proven very successful
in inducing sleep.
Think pleasant thoughts, no mat
ter what the day has been; cheer
fitness is great aid in all troubles
of mind or body. Most physicians
recommend sleeping on the right
side, while others recommend the
left.
There is an old custom of having
the bed with the head toward the
north and foot toward the south,
said to be good to keep people in
health because of the electric cur
rents which pass from pole to pole.
However that may be, see that the
bed stands where its occupants may
have plenty of fresh air, which is
the important thing in keeping in
good health-Exchange.

GREAT DAYS ON ..
THE MISSISSIPPI

Reviewing the golden age of river
traffic when Mark Twain was a
pilot on the Mississippi, a writer
in the Travel Magazine says that
some steamboats,, like the John Sim
onds, the Robert E. Lee or the
Natchez did $40, 900 business every
round trip. This, however, was ex-
ceptional.
AS a general rule, steamboating
was not paying industry, the most
fortunate owners making but six
per cent on the money invested.
Many hungry mouth did the
steamboat business fill in those
days. In 1882 the number of men
earning their living in the various
departments of the trade has been
estimated at 10000; ten years
later, counting only the laborers,
engineers, pilots, repairers and
others of actual crews, there were
about 100000 men empoyed. Dur
ing the year 1880, there was 3d.
100000 invested in steamboats,,
with ayearly expense of 81 ,671, $40
for wages, $1,393,2OO for wood,
1886, 800 for provisions, and $743,-
040 for other expenses In 1889
almost 100000 was spent for
wood alone along the shores of
western rivers.
The steamboat age began about
1921, and fiourished for so years.
AS early as 1884 the number of
steamboats, on the Mississippi and
its tributaries is estimated at 23O,
and in 1912 there we're $50 vessels,
with value of $25, 900. But the
golden era was from 1848 till the
war. Never did the valley and
steamboating prosper more thar
then. Thousands of bales of cotton
were annually shipped to southern
markets; and the wharves of st.
Louis and Memphis and Vicksburg
and other large ports were stacked
with piles Of merchandise and lined
with scores of steamers. But the
war came on, cutting off commune
cation between the north and south,
and swept the trade away. Iron
clads, built from former packets,
patrolled the mighty. river. When
peace was finally declared the sur
yipors Of the old steamboat days
were dead, or engaged in other
industries. The business picked up
a bit then, but fell of again before
the cheaper and faster transporta-
ton of railroads. Today the occu-
patton of the woodcutters has
vanished. A few packet lines con-
troll the Mississippi and Ohio river
trade, and along the levees of the
big cities only a half dozen or &c
steamboats, can be seen at anchor,
the last survivors of that gala
period when the river was the
great highway

EUREKA COUNTY
BANK MATTERS

Regarding the affairs of the de-
funct Eureka County Bank, but
few new developments have occurred
during the week. Angelo Florio, a
depositor, withdrew from the bond
of the Receiver, Spencer Reynolds.
A new surety, covering the amount
withdrawn from the bond was later
approved by the court.
On Tuesday Mr.. Florio appeared
in the district court with his at
torney and stated that the bond
filed by the Receiver does not con-
tain the conditions required by the
Banking law, and that the sureties
upon the bond are not equivalent to
two sureties as required by the
compiled laws. After argument
by counsel for Receiver. Reynolds
and Mr.. FlJrio, by consent, the
court said it would take the matter
under advisement, and instructed
counsel to furnish the court with
authority on their respective con-
tentions.
R. G. Turrittin and A. E. Kim
ball, two of the board of trustees
who have been given a trust deed
of the property of the Eureka Live
Stock Company in connection with
Receiver Spencer Reynolds for the
purpose of securing the payment to
its creditors of its indebtedness and
who were expected in Eureka last
week to hold meeting here with
the Receiver, have not arrived yet.
Early in the week it was stated
that the two trustees, accompanied
by Sam Wheeler, would leave Reno
for Tonopah, where the party
would take an auto and come to
Eureka. Nothing further has been
learned regarding their move
ments.
AS soon as the trustees secure a
release of the attachments and
formally take over the property,
they will then be in position to
receive offers for its purchase. It
is understood several parties now
stand ready to take over the entire
property and pay cash for the same.
If the trustees can secure what
they consider fair price, the early
sale of the Live Stock Company's
would seem to be a good |
stroke of business for it's credit
ors, and would materially assist in
the Strengthening out of some of
the badly tangled financial affairs of |
the Eureka County Bank

FINE NATURAL HISTORY GROUP
Proof of Deer Hunters Story of Phil
lppine Forest Tragedy Has
Been Preserved.

remarkable natural history group
has been presented to Gov. Gen.
Forbes by Governor Cables of La La
guna, says the Manila Times. 1t con-
sists of a doe in the grip of a huge
boa constructor, a buck and fawn
and its history makes thrilling hunt
ing tale. Some weeks ago Governor
Cables went deer hunting in the
mountains of La Laguna. His heaters
and dogs located a doe and began fol
lowing her through the timber
Suddenly one of the dogs made a
great outcry, and hurrying forward
the governor found another hunter in
the person of huge boa constructor.
1t had fallen upon the doe and en-
circling it's body had taken a hitch
around the trunk of asturdy tree and
was crushing it to death.
The game dog had charged in but
the snake pinned it against log with
It's tail and would speedily have dis
patched it. Cables closed in and with
a we'll directed shot to the neck killed
the constructor.
The doe was dead when the hunters
iisentangled 1t from the coils Of the
huge snake.
The fawn was found hidden in some
brush and a little later the buck was
located and shot. The constructor
measured twepty-one feet in length
and it's body is very large. The buck
and doe are also large specimens and
the group is striking one.

BREs1S ALL FLYING RECORDS
WALTER BROOkINS SCARS 1se
MILES AND WINS $4,000.
Young Aviator Surpasses All Cross
Country Flights in His Chicago
to Springfield Trip.

Springfield, Tn-What Is looked up
on as one of the nest remarkable
feats in aerial navigation was accom-
plished by Walter B. Brookins, in a
Wright biplane, Thursday. when he
successfully few from Chicago to this
city, and in doing so he broke all cross.
country aeronautic records.
With only two stops. neither of
which was actually necessary, he made
the trip from Chicago to Springfield,
a distance of 1876 miles, in five hours
and forty-nine minutes, maintaining 81
average speed of 1921 miles an hear,
and won the $4,000 prize off.rad by
a Chicago newspaper.
Along the entire route, from Chicago
to the state fair grounds here, nun
dreds of thousands of people cheered
the daring young aviator as he passed.
AS the great mechanical bird came
to the ground here In the presence OF
10000 people he was cheered vocifer-
ously for fully half an hour.
Brookins left Chicago at 9:15 a. m.
He dropped out of the clouds over the
fair grounds in Springfield at 4:45.
Forty-seven minutes after Brookins
rose from the ground in Washington
park, Chicago, the Daylight Special
left the Park Row station over the I'LL
nois Central A special car had been
attached in which travelled Wilbur
Wright, the airship inventor; Roy
Knabenshue, special representative of
the Wright brothers; members of the
Aero club of Illinois, and about forty
newspaper men.
After fight of two hours and TWEEN
ty-eight minutes Brookins came to Gil
man, where he arrived at 11:43. Brook
ms was far ahead of the train and he
decided to alight and await the ART
val of the train.
The train arrived at Gilman at 1915
and orders were given by the division
superintendent of the railroad to hold
the train until the hiplane should re-
sumo its fight. The gasoline and wa
ter tanks were replenished, and after
the engines had been gone over care
fully by Wright and Knabenshue.
Brookins resumed his fight.
From Gilman to Springfield the spe-
cial train and the aeroplane ran neck
and neck, first one forging ahead.
then the other, but never at any time
more than a quarter of mile apart.
Brookins was forced at 1920 to de-
scend at Mt Pulaski for fuel, only
twenty-four miles from the state fair
grounds. The landing was one of
the most remarkable that has ever
been seen in the history of aviation.
| Trees and fences surrounded him on
all sides and with perfect control he
picked out a spot, after soaring about
| in a short circle, scarcely more than
half block square, and landed square
in the center. The special train was
held up, the aeroplane's supplies again
we're renewed, and at 3:45 he as
| cended again. From Pulaski to the
fair grounds a speed of thirty-five
miles an hour was maintained.

OUTLAW HEMMED IN
JOHN =. DIETZ PRACTICALLY A
PRISONER IN HIS LOG
HOUSE.
DAUGHTER is BADLY WOUNDED
Death of Deeperate Man Is Predicted
When He Attempts to Emerge
From Wcods-Home Town is Un-
der Martial Law.

Winter. Wis-With his daughter in
a hospital at Ashland badly wounded,
one son in jail with bullet through
his arm, and another son with him,
also suffering from a gun wound, John
F. DietZ, the desperate outlaw OF
Cameron Dam" fame, was Monday
prisoner in his log cabin in the north
ern Wisconsin wilderness, he being
entirely surrounded by a sherif's
posse.
Meanwhile all northern Wisconsin
is in turmoil The death of Dietz
seems certain, for he has lost the sup
port of his former friends, who sup
ported him in the days when he won
fame by his warfare against the Chip
pewa Falls Lumber company, PROV
erty of the Great Weyerhauser Lum-
Der corporation.
While Dietz is surrounded in his
forest clearing, the town of Winter
is excited, because Dietz has threat
ened to invade the place and shoot
every person involved in the shooting
of his two sons and his daughter.
The town is under martial rule, the
sheriff having deputized about thirty
five men, most all of them friends of
Horel, the man shot on election day.
For two days the officers prevented
the Newspaper correspondents sent
here from various cities from sending
out anything of the battle in which
the Dietz children were shot How
ever the rule has been so modified as
to allow the wires to be used al
though there is a dead line around
the village and the word is absolute
that any person crossing that line
will be shot. This is to prevent any
AID being sent to DietZ.
The officers do not fear the arrival
Of Dietz for they believe they have
him surrounded. Dietz, in his woods
cabin, is now unable to leave the
house, for the woods about the clear
ing are surrounded with officers,
picked shots, who will try to pick
Dfetz of with a rifle shot if he moves
out of doors. Dietz has his cabin
stocked with enough food to last until
| spring.
In the chance that Dietz escapes,
however, Winter is kept under guard.
All the sheriff's men are crack
She able to pick off deer at a
mile, but Dietz, his children and HIS
wife are also dead shots.
Dietz says he will die fighting. and
the probable end is his death by a
shot of an officer.
