THE SLEEPING SICKNESS WHICH MEANS DEATH How many readers have heard of this terrible disease? It prevails In that far-away country Africa especially tho Congo district. It Is caused by the bite of the tsetse fly. When It bites a persom, the sleeping symptoms begin and flually the sufferer sleeps until death occurs. Contrast thts with the peaceful, balmy sleep of health. Is there any thing more wearing than to He awake at night, tossing about, nervous, with cold feet, hot head and mercy knows w hat else? Short of letting the tsetse fly bite us we would do almost any thing for relief. How can we pre vent It? Mr. Ceorge Hayes, of Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost tny appetite, was all run-down, could not sleep nights. I had tried every thing without relief. Vlnol was rec ommended, and to my surprise. It helped me at once; gave me a splendid ppetlte, and now I sleep soundly." What Vlnol did for Mr. Hayes, It will do for every run-down, nervous and overworked person who cannot sleep. Burlington l'.uys Kngines. New engines ordered by the Bur lington are expected to begin ar rive within the next month or jtwo. It is said the order for forty placed was all fcr passenger en gines, and that the read still has a surplus of motive power for freight moving. In fact the company now has a number of idle engines at Havelock awaiting the return of increased tonnage. These machines are all freight engines. The Burlington is now "scrap-. ping" its older and smaller engines rapidly. The "class A" engine, which a few years ago handled al most all of its tonnage, both freight and passenger, is going to the scrap pile. Quite a number of these have recently been sent to Havelock to be torn to pieces for the old metal they contain. The loss of machines for road wcrk has made the purchase of new passenger engines necessary. A Havelock shopman tells a story about Second Vice President Wil lard's idea of order, that relates to engine destruction. A number of the old engines had been hauled from Lincoln to Havelock to go to the borifyard. and these were set out on the side track just as they had arrived in the yards, some facing one way and some the other. All semblance of order had been lost in this work, the employes feeling that engines going to the boneyard should not be given much attention. Mr. Wlllard ordered that they all be turned one way and that order be brought out of the disorganized mass, even though the engines were going to the scrap pile. State Journal. "Adam God" Feels Good. Kansns City, May 25. Smiles and elation were in the face of James Sharp, self styled "Adam God," when his defense was begun today in his trial for the murder of Patrol man Michael Mullane. Sharp, f,n affable mood, whispered almost con tinuously to his attorneys during the session, while at recess he flitted about the room with a friendly word for all. He even attempted to Joke, taking advantage of the heavy at mosphere outside that made the courtroom dark and gloomy. Upon a piece of paper he wrote this note and sent It to the press table: "It Is written that the Lord walks where it Is dark, and not light. I must be God for it is awful dark in here." Sharp's defense as outlined today by his attorneys Is insanity. The attorneys made the assertion that during the fatal riot last fall Sharp fired his revolver in the air after he had been wounded by a policeman's bullet, and that none of the bullets from Sharp's revolver took effect. The attorney related how Sharp, In response to a "small voice which told him he was God," had sold his farm near Woodward, Okla.. and giving the proceeds to the poor, had "gone Into the world to save the people." I!nin of Much Value. Another soaking rain has fallen over the entire state of Nebraska and It was more than a million dollar rain. It is said to have been worth many millions to growing crops, especially in the southwestern part of the state, where the crops were beginning to suffer. Railroads report that a light rain fell over the district between Omaha and Grand Island and all the branch es between these points. A good rain fell between Grand Island and North Tlatte, with a heavy rain on the branches north of Grand Island and' Kearney. A slow, steady rain fell all day Monday between North Platte and Cheyenne, again making certain crops In this semi-arid dry farming section. Heavy rains also fell on the Colorado division north of Denver. Rain also fell where It was needed most on the McCook Division of the Burlington with half Inch at McCook and other points. There were show ers all over the Lincoln division and light rain on the Alliance division. Omaha Bee. This rain has resulted In delaying trains on the roads Into this city by several hours but It has been of In estimable value to the people of Nebraska. Indications point to more rain today as the weather Is cloudy and warmer. Small Wreck.
