respiration and pulsation When Miss DISH
ener awoke her mind was apparently clear
and unimpaired, her appetite and general
feelings good, but her arms and legs were
paraly2ed She says that she was con-
scious during the whole time of her pro-
tracted trance, but though she exerted her
utmost power to evince her CONSEQUENCES she
could not move a single muscle. She says
she had no physical pain until thu fortisth
day Of her sleep, when an electric battery
was applied. Since then size has suffered a
thousand asoriss OF body, and at times it
seemed as if her mind would give way under
tle strain, ami she now complains OF terrible
physical sgfaIings in consequence of the
shock to her system. The doctor in attenI-
ance says, however, that she will recover in
a short time and will also regain full use of
her liu.bs

WHILE congress has granted aid to rail
roads TO the value OF nearly thousand
million dollars, reckoning The granted
land at So per acre, the land grant com
panles have constructed and completed Il
little more than seventeen thousand miles
of road. In the same time, and without
any congressional aid or subsidy what
ever, the people themselves have built
more than one hundred thousand miles,
this too in manys. cases through undevel,
Oped tracts of country from which no i'm
mediate remuneration could be expected.
These facts only serve to show that the
enormous sums of money that the land
grant companies have realized from the
people by the sale of their lands have
been diverted from railroad building to
the pockets OF the individuals comprising
the companies and their confreres, and it
also serves 10 demonstrate the equal and
exact. justice that would be meted out to
those companies that have failed to build
at all. should congress enact that the last
one of those grants be forfeited and the
land RENTED to its original owners, the
people.

some singular facts are given ID rela-

been carved down to- the level of the

These old shales and quantities. are given
by dykes of rhiolite, and through them
have evidently come to the surface gey-
ser springs, deposits from which have
formed the cone. The water has, besides
gold carried in solution silica, iron, al>
