Something never seen in Ster this valley. The man is a German by name. Twelve years ago, in South western Illinois, Harms was troubled with fever and ague. While the fever was on him he lost his reason and was unable to recognize his friends.

When the fever left him his mind was again restored, but each attack left him weaker than before. The doctors advised that he go North, and in the spring of 1877 Harms with his wife and family, started North and settled on a farm at this place. As soon as he crossed the Mis-sissipi his ague left him and he grew better. For two or three years the family struggled along. Harmss was sick a great part of the time.

The fever returned; again he was delirous, and during all this period he slept. For a time he was an inmate of the insane asylum at Rochester, but he slept, and no skill of physicians could rouse him. Eight years ago, suddenly, and without any apparent reason for it. he rose from his bed full of energy, seeming to wish to make up for the time he had lost. Then there was great rejoicing in the household.

It seemed as if he had risen from the dead. All summer he worked in the harvest field; he did a man's work, weak as he it seemed as if he was forever free from the demon of sleep that had laid its heavy hand upon him. This continued for three years. A LONG SLEEP. May 12, 1884, Harms ate his morning meal as usual.

Suddenly he felt the drowsiness Rooming over him. A sense of heaviness distilled itself through his whole body. He put down the cup that he held in his hands, rose and cast himself upon the bed. Almost before he touched the bed he was asleep. For three years he slumbered.

He did not move; nothing could wake him. Doctors were summoned from near and far. They came in curiosity to see him. One of them prescribed tonics. Harmes was filled with iron.

It did not have the slightest effect on him. Another prescribed strychnine. But Harmes was invulnerabla One doctor described a sort of alkali water that had to be Brought from Washington Territory. They tried it. Harmes still slept.

The most curious thing about this mysterious man is that during this period of three years Harms awoke every night of his own accord, about 12 o'clock arose famished, ate his supper, and went back to bed. Once every day this strange man emerged from obiivion, entered for a few moments into the old family life' and then slipped away again. Harme's wife, knowing the hours that be was to wake, would sit up and watch ling before, and you will buy on sight. DEALER IN of Lyons, T. E.
