The trick called The Vanishing Lady,
which has been performed at the Olympic
each evening for the past week and which
has excited considerable comment all over
he country as being a masterpiece in the
lie of Illusion. was fully exposed last even
ny The announcement was made at each
performance that Oh Sunday evening the
rick would be exposed. and although few
believed that it would be, the house
Vas literally packed, all eXpectant of de-
7elopments. When the time arrived the
professor performed the trick as usual. He
carefully spread out newspaper on the
1oor. and placed upon it what appeared to
De an ordinary upholstered chair. A lady
VAS then introduced. and took seat in the
,hair. The professor displayed large silk
cover, about two yards square. with the
1sual preliminarieS about things being con
sealed in it, etc. He placed the cover over
lie lady's head, pinning it behind. and
carefully spread out the corners on the
floor. He then announced that on count
ing three the lady would be gone from be-
meath the cover, and taking hold of the silk
be counted three, and quickly drew it away
from over an empty chair. The lady had
disappeared as if by magic, but Immediately
came upon the stage from the side and
bowed to the applause which greeted the
successful trick.
HOW IT IS DONE.
The professor then explained the trick.
He showed that attached to the back of the
chair was a wire frame. which by simply
touching a spring would come up in such a
manner that it would support the silk,
while the audience supposed it rested on
The lady's head. He then put the chair in
place. without first having spread out the
newspaper, and seated the lady in it as be-
fore. He then took a large piece of mos
quito netting, and touching the spring,
threw it over her head. OF course the lady
was in full sight. Are you all ready
there below?" called the professor; IF you
are. let the lady CO." Immediately the
chair seat dropped from under her,
hanging by hinges at the back,
and the lady gradually disappeared
through the floor, actually settling
down between the chair legs. The chair
seat was returned to its place by spring
and the small trap door Though which the
lady disappeared was replaced from below.
The cover was removed quickly, the frame
work on the char being deity returned to
place at the same time. All this was done
much quicker than it takes TO tell it, and
the explanation was complete. except as to
the paper. The professor remarked: ''Oh,
| forgot to show you the paper" at the
same time unfolding It and showing hole
through it. apparently cut in advance by
four cuts representing the two diagonais of
a square. The professor then recommended
those present TO get chair like his, to cut
out several feet of the parlor carpet and
learn the trick. He said it would be go0c

The peace of God comes with the twilight,
With falling dew comes sense of rest;
All hushed are now the merr insects,
The cricket only sings with zest.
The clouds. too. seem prepared for slumber
They cease their drifting to and fro;
A roseate flush prevadts the heavens
AS sinks the sun in golden glow.
All things attuned like low sweet music,
Fall on the SOUL the passions charm;
Gods Sheltering arm seems drawing closer
To hold through sleep our lives from harm.

matter of raising fund for the relief
of the sufferers at Charleston, S. c.,
have met with very great success, The
organization yesterday forwarded to
Mayor Courtenay of Charleston, the
sum of $121.6O to be distributed among
the needy people who suffered so Sc
verely from the effects of the earth
quake. The remittance was made
through o. Z. Hill, of the Commercial
National Bank, free of charge. The to-
tai amount collected by the G. A. K.
was $123.10; the ladies of the w. r. c..
collected $40. 40 of the amount. There
was an expense of $3.50 for printing and
distributing dodgers, The result of the
movement has been reported to the 6.
A. r. headquarters in Salt Lake. The
thanks OF the local organization of the
G. a. r. are rendered to citizen Van
Dyke for the free use of his opera
house, and to all who contributed TO
the support Of the movement in this

We are told that for few days past
there has been an individual around the
city peddling a little article of domestic
utility. The article is a chair tidy
holder and sells for Is cents. This of
itself amounts to nothing, but when
taken in connection with other circum-
stances, the fellows actions seem to
suggest that he is a spCtter, and that
his sole object is to pry into the do
mestic affairs of men who are supposed
to be under the ban of the EdmundS
law.
In the first place, it is hardy likely
that any peddler who depended upon
his avOcation for a livelihood would
select an article of such insignificant
value, and sell that alone. Then the
pedd'er has been selling without IL
cense, ard running the risk of being
fined.
Next he has something of a reputa.
ton as q detective, having, according
to his own statement, been engaged in
the despicable business of furnishing
information that would help to convict
polygamists.
The crusade against offenders under
the Edmunds law is developing some
very peculiar phases or human de-
praVity and decent people have only to
be warned OF tLeir character to avoid
them. No matter what the belief or
profession of any honorable person may
be, he as a rule has no use for a spotter
of any kind. AS a rule spoilers are
very unreliable and in many instances
they descend to a depth which are be-
low all liberation in their business of
prying into other peoples affairs. At
the very best they are living he, en-
deavoring to make people believe they
are something that they are not, in
sinu ting themselves into peoples
houses and confidence to learn secrets
of private individuals only to use the
information thus gained to bring those
who have befriended them into public
disgrace and ignominy. A safe rule in
the case of the individual referred to
will be to keep him out of your houses.

The third entertainment given under
the auspices of the Third Ward Mutual
Improvement Association Friday eve
ming, was one of the most complete
financial successes that has bsen
brought out. Before the hour for the
curtain to rise had arrived, the house
was literally packed and standing room
was hard to obtain. The house was
fairly jammed and several persons had
to leave before the performance was
concluded, on account of the insuffer-
able crowd.
The acoustic properties of the Third
Ward meeting house are not as good as
they might be and at times the actors
could not be heard.
The olio which proceeded the produc-
ton of the drama, contained a couple
of decided hits, and on the whole the
evening was pleasantly spent for those
who had seats.

before Judge Dee in the police court,
and the case was continued until Mon

that Mr.. Ford is making strenuous

About two years ago Charles Taylor, a
young farmer of FOuntaintown, Shelby
county, became much enamored of young
lady, Lizzie Smith. daughter of James Z.
Smith, weIl-known and wealthy farmer
of that place, and his suit was favorabIy
regarded by the young lady. but her father
was opposed 70 it, on account, it is said
of the young mans poverty. About three
months ago the young people made up
their minds to end all the difficulties by
getting married, and accordingly license
was procured and they went over to Nor
ristoSn. three miles away, to have the
ceremony performed. BY the time they
arrived there tho young lady's conscience
began TO work upon her, and she conclud
to return from a sense of duty to him
She again changed her mind the next day
but by that time Mr.. Smith was obseryant
of all that was going on, and the next
time he saw anything looking like an
elopement he spoiled the arrangements
by locking his daughter In her room
This was about two weeks ago at which
time Taylor came to this city, where Miss
Lizzie was TO join him, and together they
were to go to Illinois. As the young lady
did not come he went on alone. Cores
pondenee between them resulted in his re-
turning here for her, and a. she seemed
determined upon marrying him. her
father gave his consent, but said she
must never come about his home again
Wednesday morning Miss Lizzie missed
the first train By starting for it little
too late, and In the afternoon another ac-
