A Glowing Description Falls
Upon Shiyering Au-
dienee.
Frank Ripley's Inconsistent
Pictures of the Spirit
Land.
Eight-Hour League and the
Federation Will Each
Stand Alone.
West Side Burglars Who Used
All the Powder They
Had.

Seventy persons went last evening TO
A. o. U. ". hall, corner of Seventh and
Minnesota streets. and for the sum of
10 cents per head heard a glowing ac-
count of the Spirit World and Its In
habitants' delivered by Frank L.
Ripley, who describes himself as
trance speaker and test me
dunn. Thea remarkable scenes de-
scribed by Jules Verne in "a Journey
TO the MOOn." and by Rider Haggard in
king Solomon Mines" are common
place 10 the description of spirit land
given last evening. The lecture was a
mixture of religion, free thought, bias
phemy, theOsophy and mental and
physical philosophy. According to
Mr.. Ripley every earth body has
a spirit, and when what is known
as death takes place. the spirit goes to
spirit land. He seemed perfectly ia
miliar with the place and its spirit in
habitants, and said that there were
beautiful houses and mansions. colleges
and universities. lakes, rivers. parks,
and every thing one could wish for.
The spirit of the colored man
was white, and the MANNED person
on earth became a perfect spiritual
body. There were no ignorant persons
there, for they were taught in the big
colleges, and Mr.. Ripley said among
the teachers who took charge OF the
ignorant spirits were Thomas Paine and
William Lloyd Garrison. Spirit land
was divided Into three spheres, ana
spirits by behaving could go from
one sphere TO another, each state
being happier and better. The
second sphere was inhabited by the In
dians who had left their earth bodies;
and they. like all other spirits, were all
dressed in beautiful white robes Of
glory, with all the good deeds performed
i'll revlSlting the earth written on the
robes. The late millionaire, A. T.
Stewart, was described as wearing
rags when he entered spirit land:
and was greeted by an old colored
woman whom he had benefited. AS
MIR. Ripley had previously stated that
there were 10 cOiored or ignorant spr-
its in spirit land, his statement that
colored spirit spoke to the shade OF
the millionaire in Il negro dialect was
most inconsistent. The trance speaker
did not vOuchSafe any information as to
how the buildings i'll spirit land were
erected, or where carpets, furniture
and beautiful Statuary came from,
which he said existed in the astral
sphere.
After the lecture Mr.. Ripley intro
dnced a number OF spirits to the audi
ence. but they were not recognized by
the persons with whom they claimed
kinship. An Egyptian spirit named
Eros" made his appearance, but the
hall being very cold, and the audience
i'll the same condition. the shade of the
dweller on the Nile quickly left the pre-
cincts. Not finding very much success
in introducing spirits, the medium an
nounced that his condition was not
favorable to the surroundings and the
affair came to an end.

DERORNING CATTLE.
New Methods of Saving Freight
Charges on Texan Steers

New Methods of Saving Freight
Charges on Texan Steers
Il is lucky that the mortal remains of
Henry B3rgh are not buried in the Lone
Star state, for if they were his ghost
would stalk over these broad plains. says
Midland CTeX) correspondent of the
New YORK Sun.
If there ever was place where the
Society for Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals would have its hands full it is
Texas. For many years the loHg horned
Texas steers, which have multiplied
here by the millions, have been run
down by yelling cowboys, ropeG .
thrown heavily To tie ground. brand
ed with red-hOt irons until their sides
TANKS, and shoulders looked like sec
tionS of Cleopatra's Needle, and finally
had their ears cut. and slit. and bored
in many ingenious ways. Now the poor
animals undergo a new torture-their
horns are cut off close to their head.
The custom of dehorning the Texas
steers is new, but it is universal Oh the
big ranches. and at every branding cor
raj great heaps of the long horns bear
witness to the extent of the practice.
while on the ranges nearly all the cattle
are without any horns at all. Some
money grabbing stockman discovered
year OR SO ago that he could get
more h0rnless than horned cattle
into a car. He forthwith gave
orders that his cattle should be de
horned, and provided his COWBOYS with
saws and hatchetS. When they branded
his calves thereafter, or when they cor
rallied his steers before shipping them.
they also removed their horns. The saw
ana Ratchet were too primitive tools.
however, SO some inventor conceived
the idea of making dchOrning shears.
which would remove the toughest in a
jiffy, and with as simple motion as
that OF clipping coupons Or punching
railway tickets. The dehorning shears
were made and patented, and now
every large ranch owner has them, and
his cattle are packed i'll the cars to be
shipped to Chicago As snugiy as it is
possible to jam them in. He no longer
has TO pay freight on horns over many
miles of railways.
The denOrning shears are wicked
looking instruments. with SharD-curYed
steel knives, strong steel frames. and
handles three feet long. There is a
round hole which is slipped over a horn
close to the animals head. the handles
are pressed together. and two steel
blades cut the horn off clean as a Whis-
lie. To be sure, the poor brute bel
lows and gives every evidence of suffer
ing great torture, but that is a small
matter to the men whose lives are passed
in throwing and branding cattle and
sitting their ears. There is money in
it and the ''big boss" has ordered it,
and that IS enough for chem. Then
again. they say that the cattle fatten
much more quickly after their horns
are cut off; that they do not figh. each
other, and that they are gentier and
easier to handle.
? From the extent to which the dehorn-
Ing business is carried it looks as if in
a few years lOng-hOrned steer would
be as great novelty IN this country as
sh0rt-hOrned one was ten years ago.

ONLY PARTIALLY VISIBLE.
Clouds Interfere With View of
the Lunar Eclipse.


The total eclipse of the moon, the fifth
celestial event of the year, occurred on
schedule time last evening. but the
spectacle waa almost obscured by heavy
clouds. The sky was overcast all day.
but toward evening there were indica-
lions of clearing weather that gave hope
that the lunar observation might be Wis
lble, but this hope was only partially
realized. The moon rose above the
Eastern horizon at ABS, and was then
IN the shadow, but the spectacle was
hidden beneath a dense clOudbank. If
was not until 7:30 that break in the
sky occurred, and at that time only a
close observer would have noted the
moon, which was then totally eclipsed
and almost entirely invisible. A few
minutes later the sky cleared absolutely.
and for ten minutes gave ALI uninter-
ruptPd viewof the celestial phenomenon
AT at time the shadow was RAPIDLY
leaving the moon, and within the time
the spectacle was visible all of the
fright disc came iEso view eXcept a
small slice of the southwestern edge.
The clouds again swallowed upon the
eclipse before the full face of Luna
became Visible. Had the sky been Ell
tirely clear. all of the eclipse could not
nave been seen at this longitude. as the
moon rose in the shadow ReckOned
by local time, the features of the eclipse
occurred as follows:

Twelve miles Horth of Norwich,
Conn.,, is one of the most wonderful lily
ponds in all America. 1t is a lake one
mile in diameter, so closely grown with
lilies that during blossOming time it is
hard to get a glimpse of the water
When the wind is strong and the lilies
are open the perfume OF them is per
ceptiOle quarter of a mile from the
brink of the pond. So thick are the
lilies and in such tangled masses that 1t
is almost impossible to prOpel boat in
the pond, and the lilygatherers have to
wade for them In hip rubber boots. Not
only are the lilies extraordinarily plen-
tiful, but the blossoms are more regal,
perfect, lustrous and of deeper hue THAI

By far the best method of Kidding oneself

BLEW THE FRONT OUT.
Burglars on the West Side Use
Enough Powder.


Last Tuesday evening a gang of safe
blowers entered a grocery store just
outside of the city limits on Annapolis
street, IN West St. Paul, and blew open
large safe which was on the premises
The heavy charge of powder blew the
whole front of the store into the
street, and the proprietor, who lived
above the store, was too frightened
to do anything TO disturb the burglars.
Only small amount of money was Sc
cured, and Wednesday the matter was
reported to the police. The matter was
not given out to the reporters, the po-
lice hoping by quiet work to capture
the men. 1t is believed that the safe
blowing, together with that which oe-
Cured at North St. Paul. Centerville
and Fargo was done by the desperate
gang arrested Saturday in Chicago.

the whereabouts of Charles A. B. Weide,
who has been missing from his home

for the missing man, but nothing has
been seen of him. 1t was reported at
police headquarters last evening that
the missing man had been seen at All
bey'S livery stable, on the Seven cor
ners, but on inquiry the description
given of Mr.. Welde by his relatives did
not tally with that of the man seen at
the livery stable.
