A Capital City Girl Has Been Asleep tor
Several Days and Still Slumbers.
A special from Lincoln claims that
MlssCella Arcnsou has slept for seven
days. Physicians have failed to arouse
her from her stupor. A week ago yes
terday she complained of a strange
feeling for which she could not ac
count. She retired as usual, hut the
members of tho family failed to awake
her the next morning, nnd sent for Ir.
McLcod.
The sleep has continued for a week.
Tho girl breathes normally, and the
bodily functions goon as usual. Nour
ishment has been given by artificial
means. At times her cheeks aro Hush
ed, but usually they are very pale.
T.iday the physicians announced that
the girl was better. She moved from
one position to another on her lied.
For days she lay w ithout any move
ment of the body.
It Is believed tliat over study brought
on a condition of temporary paralysis
of the motory portion of the brain.
Miss A renson graduated from the high
school last spring, when only hi years
of age. Shu had studied very hard.
Her parents would not permit her to
pursue her studies this fall because of
her youth and her Inclination to study
too much, ilutsho was a great reader,
and her present condition was brought
on by over use of the brain.
The doctors look for her complete
recovery.
Probe the State Journal Cate.
Reports come from Lincoln that the
alleged bilking of the state to the ex
tent of H,,r)Oi) and the case against
ho Journal company may be the sub
net of a searchlngexaminatlon by the
members of the next legislature.
The defendant Is accused of selling
supreme court reports, the reports be-
ng the exclusive property of the state.
The alleged offense extended through
a number of years and the money, It
Is alleged, was diverted from the state
library fund.
The whole deal has been clothed In
mystery. The legislature may make
rigid investigation In order to un
cover the Individuals concerned. It
has been proposed to start a reform
program with the unmasking of a
fraud supposed to be one of the most
brazen and gigantic in the history of
Nebraska.

It Is felt by many assessors that
they cannot well stand the expenses
of coming to Lincoln, inasmuch as
their salaries are not large. They
think that as their attendance here
would be for the benctit of their re

should allow their expenses.

have Just succeeded in getting a
patent on an electric motor fastened
on the rump of a cow, the electricity
being generated by a dynamo attached
to her tall. She strains the milk,
hangs up the pall and strainer. A small
pennograph accompanies the outfit and
yells "Soo" every time she moves. It
she lifts her foot to kick a little dingus
slips over the condlves and the phono
graph says "Dammitt." And If she
continues to kick, a hinged arm
catches the milk stool and lams her
on the back till It looses a patch ot
hair as big as a dustpan. A patent
churn goes with the outfit that works
the butter In one dish and the hair In
the other."
