prolonged their search for George Welch ,
( ho county Jail prisoner" who skipped out
Wednesday evening , until yesterday room
ing they have secured no clew , and ii seems
from later developments that when bo left
ho had no Idea of returning. Ho wrote a
note to his brother In another town , some
time airo , asking for money. As he had
been al'owcd a great many privileges about
the Jail yard ho hud no dlnlculty in sneaking
off to the postofllco to mail his letter or to
get the reply when It came. With the
inonoy which his brother furnished him he
bought a ticket for Chicago over the North
western , although the sheriff has reasons
for thinking that ho did not go that way.
Welch had been In Jail for about six months

The democrats of Pottawattatnle county
held their convention yesterday in the south
room of the county court house. It was
fairly well attended , a round dozen of the
voting precincts being unrepresented at the
time of calling the meeting to order , Just ono
hour later than the tltuo sot In the call
Issued by the chairman of the county central
otnmlttco.
Chairman .T. J. Shea of the county central
committee called the meeting to order and
made nn mithttstastlc speech. When ho had
llnlshcd his arraignment of the republican
party and of certain newspapers that had
been guilty of allowing anonymous commun
ications to creep Into their columns , ho re
ferred to nn article that appeared in TUB
Hun a few days ago to the effect that there
was a split In the democratic party over the
chairmanship of the county centrat'commlt-
tcc. He did not deny that there was a
split , or that there was dissatisfaction
In certain quarters with the work
hu had done wlillo chairman. Hut In order
that thuquestion of who should llll the olllcn
next year might not disrupt the party en
tirely , hu took tliat opportunity of putting
his ' resignation In the hands of the conven
tion , In order that the olllcu , with all its
magnificent emoluments , mlgnt pass Into
the hands of some ono bolter able to sub-
servo the Interests of the democratic party. "
Tcmpontry ( > rjniiUntlim.
This formality over , Mr. Shea proposed
Mr. William Gronoweg for temporary' chair
man , and Mr. Gronuwcg was elected unani
mously. When be took the chair ho made a
speech In which be said that the
only way the state of Iowa
would ever bo rescued from tbo
ban of prohibition was by democratic votes.
He did not even give the republicans credit
for common honesty , saying that no matter
what sort of a platform they might bo
elected on they would let their consciences
go to the- winds as soon as elected and go
back into thn prohibition camp. The only
way to cot out of the llnancial and tariff
difficulties lay in tbo same direction. In
short , the only salvation the country could
look for was in the hands of the democrats.
John II. Million was elected temiwrary
secretary. Later on the temporary organi
zation was made permanent. A committee
was appointed to examine credentials nnd
when It had been put to work u recess was
voted until lyu ; p. m.

The hold-up , of which Peter Hanson nnd
Nels Nelson wore the heroes nnd victims
about midnight Wednesday night , does not
com to be much of n hold-up after all , In
the light of later developments. When
Nelson was brought to the station
City Physician Macrae was called to
attend him nnd found him In such a
condition that a blow with a feather
would have laid him out had the supposed
highwaymen never run across him. Ho was'
suffering from n Jag , which was colossal In
the extreme. After spending a night In thu
refrigerator ho pleaded guilty to being drunk
nnd paid the line which Judge McGco
assessed with an nlr that indicated ho
thought the fun worth the fine. Hanson
was not so badly decomi > osed , nnd was able
to take bis friend down to the corner of
Willow avcnuo and Eighth street yesterday
noon nnd look over the spot whore the
trouble took place.
The horse which the two men were driv
ing Wednesday night ran away and dumped
them out upon the pavement. They were
considerably bruised by their fall , but not
seriously Injured. While they were tinker
ing away at their rig the three alleged high
waymen came along and commenced talking
to them. The odlccrs nro now of the opinion
that Hanson , who Is somewhat cranky at
times , made an Insulting reply. The three
fellows then started out to give him and his
companions a few pointers in the art of po
liteness and loft them In a highly dilapidated
condition. Hanson Is the man who iliot ono
Madison at a dance on South Main street
about three years ago , but was acquitted on
the ground of self defense. As for Iho money
that Hanson claimed to have lost , ho recov
ered all but 5 cents of it.

A petition was tiled in the district court
yesterday by the firm of Klcme , Tlmberman
& Co. asking for a Judgment of $1,000 against
the law firm of Wright & Baldwin of this
city. In it the plaintiffs allege that they
placed a note for $1,800 In the hands of the
defendants for collection In 1SSM , and
that sumo time later thu defendants collected
$1,187 on application. This amount was not
turned over to the plaintiffs nt the time ,
owing to thu fact that Wrlirht & Baldwin
were garnished by some of the creditors of
the piu'tics who bad executed the note. In

posed of , but Wright , & Baldwin have never
allowed their clients to look upon the Jl,000 ,

A MODERN MERMAID.
She Ii In the Swim unit Slinwn Off to Hand
AilrantuRo.
Clara ncokwlth is a voting woman who
proudly assorts that she Is In the swim
now , always has been and always expects -
pects to bo. Lust week she disported
herself In a glass tank and floated about
in the water with an appearance of cool
comfort which on warm nights was very
exasperating.
A woman who can swim nlno miles at
a stretch , who cats , drinks , sews , per
forms athletic feats , and , iu short , seems
as much at home in the water as most
people are out of it , Is Interesting. Miss
Ueckwlth calls herself "Tho Modern
Mermaid , " and next to swimming she
likes to talk about swimming. She gave
a woman reporter of the Now York Sun
a long interview the other evening and
told a very interesting story of her nata
torial career.
' 'How did you happen to learn to
swim ? " asked the reporter.
"Oh , It's born in fue , I guess. You
know I am English. I was born iu Lam-
both and wo lived right near the beach.
My father was the champion swimmer of
England for ten years and then ho gave
vay for my brother William , who is the
hampion now. "
' What is the longest swim you over
ittemptcd ? "
"Nino miles. That was on the ether
ido. I swam from the mainland to a
edge of rocks nine miles awiu. It took
ue live lioui-b and a half , and when I got
hero my eyes were so bloodshot 1 could
carcoly see and my faei ; was so eaten by
he salt water that it was almost raw.
Speaking ot cramps , I don't think a care-
ul swimmer need to fear thorn. I have
> cen in very cold water and I had no
rouble.
"How long can you stay under the
vutor without coining up for air ? "
"Two minutes and thirty seconds.
What is the most dillicult thing to do ?
) h , I don't know. Nothing seems hard
o me in the water. It seems to mo that
couldn't sink. It looks as if walking
> n my hands with -my body straight up
vas dlllloult , but while it requires care
mil precision it 13 easier in the water
ban out of it , because the water assists
n balancing the body.
"By the way , why don't moro of the
iVinerican girls swim ? In England
hree-lourths of the women know how ,
but here It is the exception to find ono
vho isn't 'deathly-afraid , ' as they say , of
the water. It Is the best proscription a
lector could give thorn. I haven't
cnown a day's sickness in eleven years ,
and it is all becauseof , my swimming.

sions through the month of October. A mo

TJP WITH THE LAUK.
The Medicine ot Sleep I'ar Hotter Tlmi
K rly ItMriK.
The Hartford Couranthns n charming
rhapsody on the delights of getting up
cany in the morning. Oiif ! extract will
show the tenor of the article. It pays :
"Ono knows but a half of one's self , and
that not the hotter half , who has not
pone forth alone and fresh with sleep
into the early morning and lot
the voices of that joyful hour
make music to the -ear. It is no
injustice to the ether phases to say that
the morning burst of sunshine , fresh
ness and fragrance Is the divinest thing
nature docs for man. It is the hour
when optimism is as easy as breathing
and lifo looks as smooth ami pleasant as
a stretch of meadow land. All things ,
animate and inanimate , have the ap
pearance of taking now heart ; and wo
fall In with the general good chour and
jubilate , not of compulsion , but as In-
Htlnctively as the robins on the orchard
trees. "
This is a fine composition , comments
the Philadelphia Press , and if there
wore no ether parts of the day except
the morning , or if they wore not filled
with nerve straining duties wo would
fcol disposed to add some high flown
rhetoric to the rhapsody of the Courant
and advise everybody to got up early in
the morning and enjoy nature.
"
But , as it happens in" this hur
rying modern lifo of ours , there
is an almost constant call for the ex
penditure of nerve force , and as this
force can only bo laid up during sloop or
bodily rest it follows that the average
man must have a curtain amount of
sleep and rest or ho becomes nervously
exhausted. It is a lack of enough
of this time for recuperation that
makes the American people prema
turely old and sends thousands of thorn
to the insane asylums every year. They
are worn out , physically exhausted and
their nermms systems broken down at an
ago when they ought to be in good
health and enjoying li/u and all because
they denied themselves the sloop nature
demanded.
There is nothing like sleep to store up
nervous energy and to put flesh on the
bones. In an article published some
years ago , and generally ascribed to
Oliver Wendell Holmes , tt was rccom-
nonded that nervous wo-nen bo put to
bed and compelled to stay there while
, hey were fattened with nutritious foods ,
_ ust as a chicken is fattened for market.
\Vith the acquirement of fat and
ho lllling up of the reservoirs of
lorvous strength the fidgety , emotional ,
ivhimsical woman will get up from her
bed another being , Thomas A. Edison ,
he olectr'eiun ' , proved in his own case
low llesh can be acquired by sleep. Ono
, veek ho slept fourteen hours a day and
the next week twenty-two hours. The
osultwas a gain of seven pounds in
weight. A woman of only moderate
ihysical strongMi was asked how she
naimged to attend to the largo business
'rom which she gained support , and the
answer was that eho obtained it by
sleeping ten hours six days and spend
ing the whole of the seventh day in bed.
Thuro has been a visible advance in
the health of the American people dur1-
'ngthc past twenty or thirty years
Their stock of vitality has increased and
they live longer. And while there arc
other reasons for this change the chief
ono is that people sleep longer and rest
: nore. The hours for work have grad
ually grown fewer. Factory operatives
are no longer compelled to hurry to their
work at ft o'clock in the morning
: uid work until 7 in the evening.
Business and professional men go tothuir
counting rooms and ollices an hour or
more later and leave as much earlier in
the afternoon. The result is more time
for bleep and bettor health. But there
is still moro room for improvement in
this way. Walter Besant , the English
novelist , said a few weeks ago at Har
vard university , when commenting on
the graduating class : "A fine , noble
looking lot of young men. They arc
unlike our English university students
physically. I think our young men , as
a rule , are bigger , heavier , stouter inon ,
while yours have more nervous activity
than ours. They are slighter and per
haps tailor , but they scorn to bo more
highly strung nervously. " That is the
trouble with a majority of graduates.
Notwithstanding the growth of the ath
letic spirit in colleges , too many young
men go out into lifo too "highly strung
nervously. "
"
There "is no hotter medicine than good
sleep and plenty of it , and many a boy
and man i crippled in energy by an
unwise habit of getting up too early ii :
the morning. The American people
would bo happier , there would bo just
as much work done , the insane asylumf
would bo half empty and .there would be
less crime committed if people slept
longer. It ia time the so-cullud slug
gard had his rights and the man wlu
prefers Ills morning snooze to a morn
ing cocktail is estimated at his propel
value.

the pipe would bo 1,887 yards , o

If wo now combine Into one vast xvholo

Supposing the boa to bo formed into a
round column reaching to the sun , the
diameter of the column would be nearly
two and a half miles. The Pacllfo
would form o.'l.OOO.UOO miles of its total

The very earliest coinage that can
properly bo said to bo "strictly Amer
ican" was ordered by the original Vir
ginia company in the year 1012 , only llvo
years after the founding of Jamestown.
Those coins were minted at Somors
islands , now known as the Bermudas.
For a period uf moro than a quarter of a
century after this , however , tobacco and
beaver skins wore reckoned as law
ful currency. In 1045 the assembly of
Virginia mot and declared that it
"had maturely weighed and consid
ered how advantageous a quoino ( coin )
would bo to this colony , and how much
better it would bo than a solo depend
ency upon tobacco and pelts. " After
this they provided for the coinage of
copper coins of the denominations of 2
pence , . ' ) pence , ( i pence and 0 pence ) but
this resolution was never carried into
effect. The first coinage in America
proper was the series of coins "struck"
at Boston under the order of the gen
eral court of Massachusetts , piusud May
27 , 1(152 ( , the coins being U , Gaud 12 pence
denominations , "in forme Halt and
