The Tribune received this week
another job press and some new
material which will be used band
ily in caring for our rapidly in
creasing business.
Carnegie’s big peace filial does
not seem to bother any of the
nations. Turkey, Spain. France,
Iuissia, Austria, and several of
the smaller republics, are all pre
paring for war in ease they don't

The republican party has einer
ged from worse situations than
the present one, and proved much
stronger than ever. With both
parties hopelessly divided on the
tariff question, Bryan seems to
be bent on either maving his way
or keeping the democratic party
divided. The republicans are
turning out their legislators who
block progress. The democrats
are winning just now by pro
gressing backward. Which plai
will win in the end may easily
be surmised. The success of a
party does not necessarily fol
low an election at the polls. It
is easier to promise than to ful
fill. And the democrats sure
have a stack of promise on file
somewhere, dating back for many
years.

How many people have noted
the queer names given to Bull
man cars? Ho you know where
they originate? It is said that
at one times the names were act
ually beautiful and signified some
thing, but that the man who was
hired by the company to furnish
them ran out of material, and
lost iiis job. Ho brooded over bis'
troubles until he became hope
lessly insane, and is now con
fined in a straight jacket and
padded cell, where from morning
till night he shouts forth names
like “Myopia,” “Deeproporant,’'
etc., and the pullman company
lias a phonograph supplied with
blank records and placed where it
will record his mad ravings. The
names suggested in bis frenzy
are then transferred to the sides
of the long sleeping cars, to be
come the wonder of all.

that a hot legal fight will ensue.
The progress of the case Will be
watched with much interest by
our citizens, inasmuch as the out
come is much in doubt.
We do not wish to express an
opinion before the trial as to the
guilt or innocence of the accused,
but will be glad to chronicle the
fact in case Mr. Brigman is able
to disprove the serious charge
which rests against him, as his
friends are confident he will he
able to do.
SLEEP.
What is sleep?
The wisest man in the world does
not know. Although we pass half our
lives in that state, it is as much a
mystery as it was in tlie days of Nin
eveh.
We only know the body lies inert,
the muscles relaxed and the nerves
quieted for a time. The objects of tin*
material world are shut out by tlie
curtains of the eyelids, and there is no
activity in the objective mind. But -
Only a part of us sleeps.
A part of the mind—the psychol
ogists call it “tlie subjective mind”—is
watchful and alert. It carefully sn
pervises tiie functions that are carried
on during sleep.
The objective mind—or is it the soul
—where does it go?
Who knows?
Does it sometimes wander in tlie gar
den of immortality? We can neither
affirm nor deny the statement.
We only know this:
If we go to sleep when the mind is
fretted witli the worries of the day we
do not rest so well as we do when I lie
mind is composed. We sleep fitfully
and arise u lire freshed.
It is a tine conception and borne out
by experience that the mind, if prop
erly directed, will go to work during
sleep to restore the body.
If the mind is distracted and torn
by anxiety it appears to go about tin1
work of recuperating itself and leaves
the body to take care of itself.
What fountain of recuperation does
it find? And where?
However, when conditions are right
and tile mind is directed to the task
before sleep it seems to put forth its
best endeavors to heal and help its ]
partner, the body.
if you do not believe this, try it. |
You will be convinced if you give the
experiment n trial.
It is this sort of sleep that is “na- j
Hire's sweet restorer.” that “knits ut>
,„o raveieu sleeve or care” and gives
the body the feeling of refreshment.
Therefore the importance of a proper
frame of uiind before you enter the |
precincts of Sleepland.
Especially should children go to
sleep with happy thoughts. It is one I
of tin; crudest tilings to send a child j
sobbing lo its sleep.
Dispel every form of worry before
you sleep.
Leave the mind—or soul?—free to do
its offices of restoring the body or to
wander at its will in the universe of
God.
A TORNADO WRECKED A HOME
Occupants Were Asleep When Storm
Struck and Were Carried up
Bodily by the Wind.
Frederick, Ok., April 12.—In a tor
nado which swept across the country
two miles southeast of this city the
home of H. W. Hensley, a farmer, was
demolished and its occupants scatter
ed over the adjoining fields. James
F. Smith of this city, who was visit
ing at the Hensley home, was killed
when struck by flying timbers. Mr.
Hensley, his wife and two young
sons were injured.
All the members of the family were
in bed when the roar of wind came
and the house was torn to pieces.
Borne were whirled up bodily in their
beds and carried through the air. The
storm blew up from the northwest in
a few moments and lasted not more
than five minutes, it was followed
by a heavy rain. It is believed none
of those injured will die.
