FORGOT HER LEFT ARM.

The Result of an Overnight In a Hypnotic
EHpcr!mcut.
Court Councillor Mcyncrt, professor Of
medicine at the university In Vienna,
was prevented recently, says the Chi
cago Times, from delivering one Of his
rcpilnr afternoon lectures, and, as the
students were already assembled, his
assistant DR.. Anton, undertook to hyp
notlzc young woman for the instruc-
tion OF the disappointed audience. Tho
Young woman was tall, slender, light
haired and somewhat over twenty ye;
OF age. Dr. Anton let his hand gliuv
over her forehead, smoothed her eye
lids with his fingers, touched her cheeks
with soft downward strokes, and then
commanded, loudly; "Now sleep" She
slept.
"Yonr arms are completely crippled"
he said, and both arms sank limp by
her sides. "What will You now do,
poor creature, without any arms?' he
asked. The girl raised her bowed head
and began TO weep and wall SO pitcous-
ly that the students rose In their places
and shouted that she must be restored
at once TO consciousness.
DR.. Anton seized the young womans
right arm, rubbed IL smartly, and sug-
gested:
"You are all right now. Your arm Is
well again" In the same instant the
girl raised her arm, with triumphant
expression Of face. DR.. Anton then
aroused her. To his aud his auditors
astonishment, however, the girls left
arm still hung limp and apparently
neryelcss at her side lie had forgotten,
In speaking colloquially, to tell her that
her left arm, too, had recovered its
strength lie touched the helpless arm
and exhorted the young woman to raise
II, but In vain. She couldn't stir it an
inch.
DR.. Autoh then explained that the
students had before them case Of
'post-hypnotic crippling," which could
be removed only after the lyirl had been
again hypnotized, lie was unwilling TO
exhaust the girl by bringing her imme-
diatoly under his influence once more,
80 he deferred the performance Of the
cure for several days He said the girl
was so subject TO influences that the
regular tickling Of clock or the mo-
uotonous ringing OF q church bell would
suffice 10 hypnotize her.

HOPE AND ITS GOATS.
A Tale of Woe from South Dickin.
sons Bright Burg.


A queer thing happened down at
Hope some time ago. II is unnecessary
10 say that II happened at Hope-it
could not have happened anywhere else
in Dickinson county. Now at Solomon
City they commit murder, burn barns
and rob banks In the daytime; at
Herington they shoot able bodied
mules for pastime; at Enterprise they
advocate socialism and send colonies
to Topolobampo and at Woodbne un-
expected claim ants Of the estates Of it's
deceased citizens come to light, but
only in Hope could case with goat
in II come up and there IL a goat in
this case. The returns Of the assessor
show that Hope has more goats than
any town Of It's size In Kansas. 1t IL
the result Of the creamery industry.
Hope was a pioneer in that line and It's
creamery was one Of the lrst in tn"
county. II became 80 popular that all
those who owned cows sold the milk TO
II and the poor towDspeople who had
no cows were forced into keeping
goats.
These goats run at large about the
town. To be sure they have n goat
ordinance one Of those picturesque
ordinances for which Hope Is 80 justly
celebrated, but member Of the city
council let's his goat run at large, so
everybody else does aud the law is not
enforced.
1t seems that few weeks ago n
worthy farmer, who is also justice Of
the peace and has read law, drove into
town on business and was met by a
goat-a male goat with horns and the
usual proclvities for claiming the
right Of way. lie tthe male goatl as
night be expected would not turn out
but made pass at the farmers team
causing them to run away aud seriously
injure the owner The farmers ribs
were broken and in truth he was 80
badly shaken up that the physicians
said he could not live. But he dis.
charged them all, cured himself and Ia
now looking for the goat with blood In
his eye.
Now, as everybody knows, every
man in Hope, except one, is a lawyer
and everyone Of these lawyers has
given his opinion rs to the respective
liabilities Of the city, its ofllcers, the
owner Of the goat aud the goat, All
ngree that II there was no question
about the identity Of the goat, then tho
goat olght tO bs sued, but there are ~
many vicious goats la Hope that any of
them could prove an alibi.
Ia tbs hsat Of tho natter the bank
failed and tho goat wii forgotten but
now that tho citil 'nI are getting some
what weary OF discus ing tho relative
jurisdictions Of sherlfs, ,constable', bank
examiners aud wives they are returning
10 the original question La the mean
time the member Of this city council
has tied up his goat aud this farmer
has died his claim for dam iges with
the city clerk.

THE NEW BANKING LAW
Comes into District Jourt for Its
First Test.

FIRST Test,
The new banking law passed by the
recent legislature Is being tested in
the district court, no far as the powers
of the state bank examiner are con.
cerned, The Hope failure gave rise to
tho test, as was detailed in these
columna Thursday.
Attorney General Ives arrived this
morning from Topeka and before
Judge Humphrey the attorneys argued
the power of the bank examiner to
appoint receiver Of the bank after the
creditors have issued attachments,
and to Dissolve the attachments.
Should this be done 1t will make pro
rata division of the assets. Otherwise
those with the lirst attachments will he
paid IN full first. These, Of course,
are opposed u the act ion.
AT the conclusion Of the argument
Judge Humphrey took the matter
lnder advisement until Thursday.

THE NEW CREATION.
Last Address of the Church Year by
Rev. ]. T. Mayor.

The church year Of the NJ, Il. church
closed last evening aud Rev. j. Il.
Mayor, the pastor, was greeted by a
large audience at the service, lie
took for his subject the new creation
with the text, "Ye Must BE Born
Again" aud delivered strong address
Referring to the historic incident of
the meeting Of Alexander and NapO-
leon on the raft at Tilsit "to arrange
the destiuies of mankind" he declared
the meeting of Jesus and Nicodemus a
far greater one in its influence on the
world. THE words OF the text have
already changed and glorifed immortal
millions and have more influence In the
world now than at any previous age
and are destined to go on increasing in
power
Referring to the necessity of being
born again he said: "The Bible teaches
that man In his natural state is with
out peace, hope or pardon. Christian
ity is based on the fact Of this neces-
sity. 1t is not any doctrine of self
culture or development, no scheme of
ethical practice or social re-organiza-
tion; bnt it is salvation, power
moving on fallen humanity from above
its own level n regenerate and save.
The very name Jesus Is afalse pretense
unless he has something to do for the
r ice that II cannot do for ITSELF
Regarding the nature Of the change;
"When sinner is converted the
change is as thorough as II dead man,
corpse, were to spring in full vigor of
life from the conln, The change is
emphasized by the word new The
whole life is new, everything about him
seems new. How is the change
wrought Not by works of righteous
ness hut according to His mercy. The
kingdoms of nature cannot transform
themselves into higher Kingdoms by
their own power but only through the
higher STOPPING TO lift them. The
wheat of the vegetable kingdom IL
sown In soil belonging to the mineral
and springs up transforming the latter
into the former. Animals eat the
vegetable wheat and transforms 1t into
bone, flesh aud sinew. So the spiritual
kingdom stoops to lift the animal to a
higher plane and make 1t ft for heaven,
Spontaneous generation has been
been proved to be- myth as regards
the physical world, The same law is
good in the spiritual realm. Eternal
life can proceed from no lower source
than itself. God alone is the author
of eternal life. The sinner saved
from sin has his character reformed
and beautiled and he shows forthIthC
value Of religion even for this life.
