is Buying.
Oil took a downward turn yesterday. opening
and closing large fraction lower than on the
previous day. The first and highest quotation
was S1T. and the lowest and closing SCA. The
only apparent reason for the depression was
lack of support, conditions being az bullish as
ever. Trading was light.
A broker remarked: my advices are to the
effect that the standard has had a big run Eoh,
refined, and is now buying crude more heavily
than usual. If this be so. it accounts for the
weakness displayed by the market yesterday
and to-day. When the. octopus gets all it
wants it will probably relax it's grip a little and
permit an advance. II is this prospect that is
causing the longs to hold on to their stuff"

KIDNAPPING MADE EASY.
Fabulous Possibilities Of the Use
of Powerful Anaesthetics.
A Man May BE Transported Thou
sands Of Miles Unconsciously.

Two powerful drugs, hitherto but little
known. are coming into use, says the lii
d~ianapolis Mems. In the sense that they
may be used TO completely destroy. tenn
porarily, the memory and all knowledge
Of time and place, they may be said TO
possess vast and dangerous possibilities.
Their present use is rs anmsthetics and
the medical profession has been able
already to accomplish wonderful and hu.
name results.
by the use of chloralamede l brought
q patient all tho way from Chicago. kept
him under treatment several days and re.
turned him 10 q reasonably sound condi.
ton" said DIR. W. b. Fletcher, recognized
as an authority on diseases Of the mind
and allied ailments.
MY patient had become greatly dissi-
pated. took into confidence an associ-
ate physician. a friend to the patient, and
instructed him TO administer choral
amede hypodermically and telegraph me.
He did 80 one night when our patient
came home stupid.
II went TO Chicago and found tho
patient almost in q state of coma. We
put one Of his legs in q plaster Of paris
mould and took him, still under the influ-
ence of the drug. ON board the train. Oc-
casionsl doses of the drug were admins
tered 10 keep the patient IN the desired
condition.
Had he awakened he would have been
furious. and we probably would not have
been able to bring him to the s%anitarium
for treatment. OF course his friends here
we're party to the arrangement, and fully
Endorsed the course proposed.
I'VE put the patien,'s leg in plaster for
two reasons-to disable him in case he at
tempted to attack us, and TO avoid impsr-
tinent interference from passengers and
trainmen.
mans leg in plaster. we rightly con-
clnded, would be a sufficient reason for
his incnpacitated state. 1t would have
been embarrassing 10 explain TINT we
were genteelly kidnapping agentleman OF
wealth.
Everything prospered. We brought
snS p as iang fsFS sjil ,gsa,sd HIM mn 80 seT onmo d s,,s
from his denthlike sleep. He had no
recollection whatever of anything That
had occurred In the interim. The trent
ment, mean time, had restored him, and
he approved of everything when appraised
of the tactics we had used"
Gould not this drug be used by de-
signing persons for harmful purposes"
Yes; but il would have to be admin
istered hypodermically, and that would
arouse the proposed victims suspicious.
II has n somewhat bitter taste. and unless
the victim was already partially drngged
he would taste the stuff II administered In
drink or food.
Another o dangerous drug than
this. perhaps, is hyosciamine. 1t 10 al
most tasteless. II might be put into
wine and the wine drinker would not dis
cover its presence. There would be more
or less danger to the victims life IL the
drug were given by unskilled and desper-
ate persons.
II have not believed much in the ia
miliar story that So-aud-So has been
druRged, but / suppose 1t would be pos
sible with the use of these drugs to drug
evSn o soupd-mindsd person without his
consent or knowledge"

that their sovereign should snoop around
barracks In the darkness of night in. the
disguise sometimes OF Q patrolmAn and
sometimes of an officer.
Another practice of Williams Is to call
informally upon his acquAintauces in
Berlin: at any hour of the day or evening
he is likely to make his appearance in the
house of q friend, and Of course, being
the Kaiser, he has to Oe made welcome.

"How do l know that man had some
thing the matter with his right ear ~
repeated a Delaware street aurist with
whom An indianapolis Journal reporter
was talking. Why. because he told me
so. Didn't you see him do it1"
The reporter confessed that he had not
heard the man make any remark as he
passed the window where the aurist and
the visitor were sitting.
Well. he did II. Out there on the
corner of my house l have a little tin
sign containing my name, beneath which
are the words : Eye aud Ear"
Now IL is q very strange phenomenon,
but nine men out Of ten who are troubled
with Affections of the eye or ear will re-
veal the location Of their dis ease when
they bee that sign. They do 1t uncon-
sciously.
"A man passes in a deep brown study.
He is oblivious Of everything. Even the
ical. When he is opposite that sign he Is
mechanically reminded that he IL inter-
ested in IL and he begins TO investigate
the magnitude of his interest.
:" IL his eye is sore he will rub IL; IL no
wenra glasses lie will take them of snd
wipe them. or IL his hearing is bad he will
put his hand to his ear. II Is all me-
chemically done. The man to whom /
called your attention put his hand to his
right ear when he saw the sign.
The demonstration is q freak of
nature which shows that we can never
become 80 engrossed in anything as to be
regardless of ourselves"
