Annie May Abbott is mystery.
What her power is or how it Is exerted
is beyond comprehension. Of slight
girlish build and no great muscular
development. yet she was enabled to
resist the combined strength of a half
dozen of our most prominent citizens,
who had all the advantage in the tests.
Mayor Evans, DIR. Jennings, Chas.
Callahan, Major Anderson and all
others of the committee who could be
piled on the heavy chair were lifted as
easily from the floor as thongh the
weight were feather; and then the
same test was repeated with eggs be-
tween the performers hands and the
place of contact with the chair. The
committees strength was exerted
to push her off her balance standing on
one heel, but in vain. Her trans
mission of her power to boys and
girls in the audience was most re-
markable and altogether her part of
the show was at once the most re.
markable and inexplicable of any,
thing we have ever seen. 1t seems
like witchcraft.

Dakota. The people of the eastern
part of the state are wofuly ignorant
as to the resources Of the Hills and their
ideas are very vague as to what we
have here. The Business Mems as.
sociation should take the matter in
hand and Hot Springs should have a
display of water, building stone,
minerals, coal, gypsum, ETC., and the
county should have a display of agri.
cultural products. stock, etc. There
is no better field for advertising than
! the eastern part of onr own state and
