The Mind Readers Inuuest.

At q session of the inquest in the case of
Washington Irving Bishop, Mrs. Bishop, the
mother of the deceased, was called to the wit
ness stand. She was deeply affected. She
testified that on one occasion her son had
lain for six days as if dead, but she held to
tho belief that, he was alive, and on the Sew
cnth day he rose up and was himself again.
She further said that he had a horror of the
surgeons knife while in these frances, and
always carried u paper about his person ex-
planning this feeling. Witness said she saw
the paper with him when he left Philadelphia
for New York on the Saturday preceding his
death. Mrs. Bishop said that her son car
RED this paper in his pocket at all times. In
full it read:
To Physicians and Friends-Iforbid an au-
topsy or the use of electricity on my body or
being put on ice, till my mother has seen me,
or till my mothers counselor, Col. Ingersoll,
has seen me.
She said she saw this paper with him an
hour before he left Philadelphia on the fatal
evening. Although she came on at once
when she was notified of his illness, they
would not let her see him, but said that the
doctors were with him. She had a PRESENT.
ment that they would cut him with their
knives before they would let her see him.
She argued with them to no purpose and
said:
He is simply in q trance and they do not
understand his case. On Tuesday morning
I was brought to the undertakers and there
shown the body of my murdered boy.
Miss Ida Orme Jones, the p~oetess, who has
known Bishop fifteen years, told of q trance
of Bishops in Cincinnati, where physicians
pronounced him dead, and of his recovery
half a hour after he had been laid out.
Louis Aldrich, the actor, related the finding
OF a prescription in the clothes of Bishop,
which, he said, DR.. Irwin seized, saying it was
unfit for perusal: The paper was produced
in court by DR.. Irwin, and found to have no
bearing or the case. DR.. j.. Irwin Briggs cor
roborated Mrs. Bishops testimony as to his
attendance on her son in 1873, and stated
that the doctors were with him-Ford and
Leach-had pronounced him dead, though
he would not be convinced. having had
charge of similar cases. Mrs. Mary Martinez
mother of Sadie Martinez, the actress. stated
that Bishop was always in the habit Of car.
rying q written warning about his person,
but admitted that she had not seen such q
paper within eight years. Mrs. Mary A.
SWEET of Brooklyn told another instance
where Bishop, fifteen years 81 had gone in
to a trance and been thought dead.

A gentleman in Chamberlain, S. D., received
a letter from a young Indian who is at pres
emf visiting ut Rosebud agency, in which he
states that the Indians there are generally
inclined to accept the Sioux bill, and are
confident that the bill will be ratified. Fully
one-third of the Indian population on the
reservation are located at this agency, and
the success OF the commission depends large
~ upon their action.

Cured in vsrious parts of Minnesota and
Dakota, but during the past few days the
weather has turned cooler. This. while it
prevents grain from growing rapidly. keeps
the moisture in the ground, and makes the
necessity for additional rainfall less urgent.
Frosts have occurred in some localities, but

The Minneapolis & st. Cloud Railroad COM
pany (Hinckley branch of the Manitoba) is
preparing to contest the validity Of tho
swamp land grant to the Duluth & Winnipeg
company, and claims that the Winnipeg
company has no valid grant whatever.
Some months ago the governo decided to the
Winnipeg company 100 acres of the grant
claimed by it for the purpose of permitting a
test of the validity of the grant to DO more
conveniently and expeditiously made at the
suit OF any parties interested. The Mime
apolis & st. Cloud company has::earned about
400, 900 acres which have not yet been selec-
ted or decided to 1t by the governor, and
hence proposes to fight every selection made
by the Winnipeg company, as at present
there are not sufficient lands available to
FIJI both grants, and the Minneapolis & st.
Cloud is the older grant.

What is to Be Done with Itq

What is to be done with the Prohibition

The Republican leaders of this State prom
ised the temperance people to submit the
question Of Prohibition to the voters, and
they have been true TO their promise.
Whether they want the amendment carried
or not is an open question. The Republi-
can partT, with eighty thousand thigh
tariff majority, claim to be the friends of
temperance and the foe Of the liquor ele-
ment; and they charge the Democratic party
with opposition TO temperance and as allies
of the liquor power This being so, what
ought the result to be? We shall hear
much of personal liberty, sumptuarY laws,
revenue loss, bankruptcy, unemployed labor,
decrease OF crime. empty jais, abandoned
warehouses, prosperity. happiness, Demo-
cratic resurrection and Republican "soup"
plunge-any amount of argument pro and

tion Is not party issue; but IL will be-
Tariff ought not to be, but is all the same.
The liquor interests of this State have

people never mourn over Democratic de-
feat. II is early yet To predict the final
result Of the struggle. The political lead
