ALLEGED TO BE TRIC1ERY.
Mind-Reader Johnstone's Feats
Exposed by a Chicagoan.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-A morning paper
prints what purports to be an expose of
the tricks by which Paul Alexander
Johnstone, of st. Paul, performs his
alleged mind-reading tests. The dis
believer in Johnstone is DR.. Gatchell, of
this city, editor of the Medical Era.
DR.. Gatchell submitted to apparently
the same test conditions as did john
stone, and under these conditions went
blindfolded up and down stairs and
found and wrote designated word in
book. He then showed how it was done.
The gloves were folded over the eyes
and a bandage tied tight over them.
By lifting the eyebrows, this
bandage was worked upward upon
the forehead, then the heavy
cloth hood was put over his head, and,
by pulling couple of strings it was
parted in front, leaving plenty of room
to see through. Then the black veil.
which hid the features, but which could
be plainly seen through, was drawn over
the whole, and the preparations were
complete for smind reading" aS Dr..
Gatchell claims it is done by Johnstone.
The directions and distances to be
travelled over the page in the book and
the letters in the word chosen were
traced in the air with the finger in front
of the performer and the trick was per-
formed in accordance with them, DR..
Gatchell says he does not know how
Johnstone performed the safe-opening
trick, but ne is of the opinion that it is
merely trick.

price of the president alone tDe deter
mination, not merely of certain facts
defined in the law, but Of the results
and effects Of those facts and circum-
stances. The amendment offered by
the senator from Maine (Mr. Hale,)
had been substantially correct; but
the amendment reported from the
finance committee and embodied in the
bill was not reciprocity. it was
Retaliation Pure and Simple.
The proposition was one to retaliate

tea, 5 cents pound on coffee. and from
35 to SO per cent on sugar, unless China.
Japan. Brazil and Spain should do GER
tain things over which the consumers
of the United Srates had no control.
He did not think that the reciprocity
section would be OF substantial benefit
to either the manufacturer or the
farmer. He regarded the proposition
as a mere political device. to appease,
as far as possible, an indignant public
sentiment: anda to check, for the time
being. rising cloud of opposition to
this extreme policy Of protection. Mr..
Allison criticised many of Car
isles statements, and denied their
accuracy. The senator from Ken
lucky, he said, had represented the
conference bill as only diminishing the
revenue some two millions of dollars.
He (Mr. Allison) differed from him ab-
solutely as to the effect of the bill, and
gave it as his belief that it would re-
duce revenues to the amount of be-
tween forty and forty-fiye million dol
lars. He believe that it was on the
whole fair bill to every section of the
country as protective measure, and
he did not believe that its general effect
would be to operate harshly on one sec
ton of the country as against another
section. Mr.. Gray was the next speak
er, and then Mr.. Aldrich took the
floor to close the discussion. He ex-
planned the conference report and de-
MED the accuracy of many of Mr.. Car
isles estimates. At the close of Mr..
Aldrich'S remarks the senate proceeded
to vote, by yeas and nays, on the con-
ference report. The first
Break in the Party Ranks
was made when Mr.. Paddock's name

would have voted no, he would vote no.
The next break came Immediately after,
when Mr.. Pettigrew's name was called.
He said that he was paired with Mr..
Call, but as Mr.. Call would have voted
no, he would vote no. The third and
last break was when Mr.. Plumb (after
all other senators had voted) stood up
and, his name having been called, voted
no. The final result was announced as

EIr. Wilson Makes Plain His Posi-
tion on Railroads.
Mr.. Chairman: Before 1 was nomi-
mated l felt that it was neither becom-
ing nor proper for me to make any ef-
fort in my own behalf, and | made none.
But, having been nominated by one of
the great parties of the state for the
high Office of governor, long-established
usage makes it proper, and perhaps my
duty, in a fair and honorable manner to
aid in presenting to the people such con-
siderations as should influence their
choice. On accepting the nomination [
briefly stated TO the convention my posi-
tion on what | considered some of the
important questions of the day. l also
stated the principles by which would
govern my official conduct. if elected.
In its issue of the next morning the
leading organ of the Republican party
of this state published a garbled State
ment of what | said, calculated and
manifestly intended to misrepresent me,
and its satellites have ever since con-
tinued such Misrepresentation. AS a
specimen l give an excerpt from the
Northfield News. whose editor is the
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee. He says:
Wilson is a man patterned after the orig
inal Democratic design. He is one of the
leaders of the ring. He is a man who knows
no honesty in politics. He is a prominent
autocrat He is the paid attorney of great
railway corporation, and. as such, if made
governor of Minnesota, would be as clay in
the hands of the potter TO do the bidding of
railroad magnates. He is one Of those select
individuals who rides in the private car of
the superintendent, and concocts schemes to
gull shippers and all connected with them.
This is the kind Of a candidate that the DEM
ocrats have foisted upon the people of this
state. How do the farmers and laboring men
like the deal!
Here is another from the Chatfield
Democrat, another ''organ" of that
party:
During the campaign the Democrat will
bear in mind that Judge Wilson bears an
honorable character as a citizen, and will
only consider his fitness to serve the people
by his business and political training. Judge
Wilson has for many years been an able rail
road attorney. During all that time he has
taught himself to take the railroad view of
all those questions which have come up be.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Sept 3O.-A great
sensation was caused here to-day by the
report that at the Washington school
this morning some unknown man had
attempted rape on the person of Annie
Murray, aged ten years, and the daugh-
ter of we'll known citizen. 1t seems
that Annie had entered the girls closet,
a short distance from the main building,
when man of medium height. with

succeeded in taking the child away
from her assailant, who escaped, and as
yet has not been caught by the police.
There is something of a mystery con-
nected with the affair, since it has so
far been impossible to discover who the
woman was who rescued the girl,
though Supt. McGreogor and the police
have made every attempt to do SO. The
affair has caused great deal of excite
ment throughout the city.

The chairman of the Mobiles county del

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Sept. 3d.
Judge Wilson's record as railroad at
tOrney will never again be mentioned
by Republican in Fergus Falls. This
villainous campaign calumny was ex-
ploded by singular incident half an
hour after Judge Wilson reached here
this afternoon. NJ. j. Glennon, local
politician, approached the judge and
curiously inquired: Didn't you con-
duct railroad suit for Mrs. English
once ?'' Il did, down at Winona." an
swered the judge. 81 thought so; God
bless you," exclaimed Glennon; "and
when her money gave out you carried
on the suit at your own expense until
you finally recovered her money" This
conversation got all about the city dur
ing the afternoon, and reached much
wider circulation than did the allusion
TO the event in Judge Wilson's speech
te-night. 1t completely routed the cow
ards and will absolutely neutralize
the circulars Joel Heatwole has
SO literally sprinkled about the
town. Judge Wilson formally opened
the campaign tonight. There was a
peculiar fitness III selecting Otter Tail
county as the scene of the first battle.
for in this county lies the key to the
situation. Here is the center of power
of the Alliance organization, and here
S: NJ. Owen has most deeply struck the
popular chord. 1t was singular that the
audience that filled the court house to-
night was composed nearly two-thirds
of Republicans, and it was significant
that the incisive utterances of Judge
Wilson were as loudly applauded by
these intelligent Republicans as by
their enthusiastic Democratic brothers.
Judge Wilson interlarded his address
with many local applications. and with
frequent appeals to Judges Baxter and
Searle, who were among his auditors.
Omitting these allusions, the address
vas substantially as follows:
