Are You Tired, Nervous and Sleepless? ICervonsness and sleeplessness are usually due to the fact that the nerves are cot fed on properly nourishing blood; they are atarved nerves.

Reports reaching the chief signal officer show that in some Instances the receipts during the past few months exceeded by 100 per cent, and in man Instances 30 per cent, those of a correspondent period last year., At present this system comprises a 1,700 mile stretch from Seattle to Valdez via Sitka and 1,400 miles of land lines, terminating in a 110-mlle wireless jump from St. Michaels to Nome?, the extreme point westward.

HALF WITTED MAII CONFESSES CRIME

He Murdered Dora Gilman, but the Authorities Don't Believe It. HIS REVOLTING STORY HE HAS A PENCHANT FOR TELL ING THRILLING TALES AND THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE AN IM AGINARY ONE. Publishers' Press. Dayton, O., Dec. 7. David Curtis, ST, white, confessed to the murder of Dona Gilman. The story was wrung from him by Coroner Walter Kline and detectives. The' story as told by Curtis is most revolting in its details. He says he went on the same car the Gilman girl took to go home, and near her home he Seized her umbrella and closed it, then clutched her by the throat and assaulted her; that she never made a sound, and that subsequently he carried her body to where it was found. After the confession was made to the officers Curtis broke down and cried like a child. He was questioned closely as to the truth of his story, and declared positively that he was the murderer and was glad to make a confession to relieve 'his mind. Curtis earned a precarious living selling newspapers. He is half-witted and at times labored under delusions that he is a great detective. Among the newsboys Curtis is known as "Baby Dave." Many of those who know him think his story is purely the result of his own disorder ed Imagination and that he really had no connection with the crime. The prisoner is the adopted son of James Curtis, a painter living near the soldiers home, who hays the young man Is Irresponsible. He did not live at Curtis' house, going there about, once a week, usually Saturday night. He had the habit, the father says, of telliug stories of his achievements to which no attention was paid. The employers of David Curtis furnish a complete alibi for him. No charge was placed against Curtis by the authorities. Dona Gilman, 20, was criminally assaulted and strangled to death Tuesday evening, Nov. 20. Her body was discovered by her 16-year-old brother, Collins, the following Thursday morning, lying in a vacant lot. nearly opposite the Gilman home on Arlington Heights, a suburb of Dayton. The spot where' the body was supposed to have lain, during Wednesday was in plain view of passers-by and occupants of neighboring houses, and the delayed discovery lent mystery to the an air. i he authorities for awhile were in clined to believe that some members of the family were implicated in the murder and that evidences of criminal assault were framed up to cover their tracks. After complete investigation this theory was abandoned. Many suspects were arrested in this and other cities, but all succeeded in establishing innocence. The girl bore a fine reputation and the brutality of the crime aroused the greatest feeling. Her fellow employes at the National Cash Register company subscribed $4,000 as a reward for the capture of the murderer. WILL SEE THE LEGISLATURE General Assembly Will be Vigorously Impressed With Right of Teachers' Demands. The school teachers of Indiana are perfecting an organization to repre sent them at Ind'anapolis during the legislature, when they will make a vigorous demand for higner wages Tlie indications are that they will get advance, as there seems to be a sentiment favorable to paying them i more money for their services. The State Teachers' Association appoint ,'ed a committee several months ago tc I look into the salary matter and pre j sent a report to the legislature. The committee has held a number of meet Ings and will be prepared tc furnish statistics showing: that the tt.achers comparatively, receive less pay than the members of any other profession Superintendent of Public Instructions Cotton has been leading the movement for better salaries for several years and he believes that it will now be successful. The Southern ind ana teachers are especially insistent that the wage scale be changed, as they have short er terms and less pay than ihe teach ers elsewhere. Senator Clamor Pelzer of Boonville has asked Lieutenant Governor Millei to put him on the education committee in order that he can and The teachers in this part of the state. H may be selected chairman of the committee. The teachers expect to introduce theii salary bill right after the legislature convened.

4 SQUARE MILES BURNED

OFFICIAL FIGURES GIVEN Chamber of Commerce Committee on Insurance Settlement Gives Total rea Swept by San Francisco Confla gration. Publishers Press. ean fu-i..., .c. . ine repon. of a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce on insurance settlements after the earthquake fire, ju3t published, says: "The total area burned was about ?,000 acres, or about 4.7 square miles, containing 520 blocks and about 23,000 buildings, oae-half of which were residences. The amoun-. of insurance covering property In the burned district was approximately $235,000,000 (estimated), written by companies authorized to do business in the state, except $5 000,000 placed outside the state in about 100 companies. The value of buildings and contents destroyed in the fire must have been about $350,000,000, being an estimate on the insurance liability, the known ratio of insurance to value (about 70 per cent), and a guess that there was about 5 per cent of property that carried no insurance. An immense sum of insurance money has been paid into th!s city, a far larger sum than companies ever were called on to pay at one time before. In spite of the earthquake, In spite of the nearness in time of the Baltimore and Toronto conflagrations, the companies will finally have paid in the neighborhood of 80 per cent of the amount of insurance involved. At Chicago 50 per cent was paid. In Baltimore 90." MARK TWAIN III LOBBYIST ROLE Appears in Congress in Behalf of the Copyright Bill Now Pending. A LONG TERM MEASURE SENATOR CULLOM WOULD GIVE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT SIX YEARS AND A REELECTION. Publishers' Prfc.J Washington, Dec. 7. Interest cen tered about the speaker's gallery Fri day during the session of the house and members temporarily forgot the business of the legislation to gaze on the picturesque figure of Mark Twain, who held quite a levee in the gallery. attended by the speaker's secretary. Ir. Clemens came to the capitol in the interest of the cop3'right bill, and spoke to many members in that behalf. He went before the joint committee on patents in support of the bill. Representative Southwick of New York introduced a bill to increase the salaries of all civil service employes 10 per cent. A report made to congress by the governor of Mexico shows that 26,195 voters in that territory favored joint statehood in the recent election, while 14,73 voted against it. The legislative, judicial and executive appropriation bill, as reported to the house, will contain a positive requirement that the old time orthodox spelling shall be used in all printing authorized by congress. I The Littlefield pilotage bill to remove "discrimination against sailing vessels'in coasting trade was defeated in the house, 110 to 164. A term of six years for the president and the .vice president of the United Stages is proposed by Senator Cullom in a joint resolution providing for an amendment to the constitution. The resolution declares also that the president and vice president shall not be eligible for re-election. Senator Klttredge introduced a resolution i'rectlng an investigation by the dj.ar-nent of commerce and la bor into the lumber trade of the country to ascertain whether there is In existence a trust or agreement among dealers. The senate ' crnfirmed the nonr'nation of Herbert G. Squiers of New York to be minister to Panama, and numerous consular and postoSce appointments. The resolution of Senator Tenrose adopted by the senate, calling on the president for all the facts regarding the discharge of negro troops belonging to the Twenty-fifth infantry, was received at the White House and at once turned over by the president to Secretary Taft, who will furnish the information desired. The Foraker resolution, also adopted by the senate, was sent to the war department, as it asks that the desired information be submitted by Secretary Taft.
