Annlx for a RECEIVER.

4 Minneapolis, Aug. San application
was made yesterday for receiver for
the firm Of Johnson, Hurd & Co.. by

The most important event was the pas
sage of a resolution directing the pres
ident to take steps for the release of
American citizens confined in the Isl
and of Cuba for participation in the re-
cent rebellions. The early adjournment
was due to a desire to avoid irritating
remarks which it was thought on the
Democratic side would probably be
heard later in the day from Republican
senator's and might lead to a debate
which at the present time, when feel
ing is running high, might prove disa-
greeable There was also nothing be-
fore the senate except the calendar,
which contains large number of bills
that some Of the leading Democratic
senators think might as well remain

WILD BUT NOT Woody.

Dutch Gotham is always sneerinly
referring to the wild and woody west, "
when it is demonstratable fact that
a greater number of educated New
England people live west Of the Miss
issippi river than live in the aforesaid
bumptious city Of New York. And
that is not all. The west has a bigger
city than the one located on Manhattan
island, and city which as CONNER
cial center will soon outrank New
York and Brooklyn combined
The west is great, great in every
thing and little in nothing. Its spirit
is as wide as its prairies, map of
which domain is more than sufficient
to cover all of western Europe. There
is three times as many square miles
lying west Of the Mississippi river than
east of it. And while this great ter
ritory boasts as yet but one-fourth Of
the population Of the country, they
nevertheless possess the resources and
the enterprise which will dominate
this government within fifty years or
so. Not only will the west supply and
control the grain markets of the
country and the live stock markets,
but her mineral interests will also pre-
dominate. -.-. - '

FIRST SETTLE SILVER.

Slowly the financial world is opening
its eyes to the fact that the west is not
responsible for the general alarm now
felt over the monetary question through
the crack brain demands of its fiatists
and the selfishness Of its mine owners.
But whether the Cleveland admins
tration has gotten its eyes open to the
same fact is doubtful. It's attempt at
currency tinkering, which is just now
so alarming the country, would in
dictate that the powers at Washington
still held to the claim that all the
troubles of the country are due to sill
YER agitation by the wild west.
Nobody doubts that the money CUES
ton is at the bottom of all the present
existing depression and industrial par
alysis. And the distress has become
worldwide. Europe is suffering in
kind if not in degree. One of the
worlds greatest financiers. Mr.. Roths-
child, declared at the Brussels con-
ference that fearful danger threat
ened the whole civilized world which
could only be averted by the speedy
settlement of the silver question.
That is IL. At the bottom is not the
west but product of the west 1t is
demonetized and deprecated silver.
Rothschild is not only qualified 10

but his house is the largest owner and

But gold is still rising every day in
purchasing power and politicians are
still tinkering at the currency question.
Silver in the meantime has fallen in
value everywhere. All are agreed as
TO this and the great economists and
financial writers Of Europe are thor
oughly alarmed The disuse Of silver
as money seems 20 be at the bottom of
all the trouble. and now its resumption
seems just as certainly demanded.
Upon silver every economical and gov
ernmental interest Of the world plainly
hinges. and an understanding and

nations must soon follow, all talk of

MORE NATURE THAN HYPNoTIsM

No legal case in years is exciting the
comment that the trial of Anderson
Gray and Tom Macdonald at yelling
ton. Kan, has.
Macdonald was cleared because the
jury believed that he killed Patton, a
neighboring farmer, while under the
hypnotic influence Of Anderson Gray,
the employer of Macdonald. Gray
was held responsible for the murder,
although he did not commit the muir
der in deed, and was found guilty OF
murder in the first degree.
This is the first case where hyp
notist has been found guilty and the
hypnotist's subject allowed to go
free.
The skeptics Of hypnotism are not in
clined to accept the verdict of the jury
as a just one. The newspapers the
country over are severe on the deci-
sion Of the jury. This arises from an
ignorance of the details of the case.
If the real truth were known it would
probably be found that Anderson Gray
had no hypnotic control over his en-
ploye, Macdonald He did not have
that magnetic mastery over MacDon-
aid that would make Macdonald i'm
agine himself a monkey and adopt
monkeys gait and antics, as is seen on
the stage at hypnotic performances.
But Gray undoubtedly did exercise
mental mastery over his employee
Macdonald. In gaining a mental con-
troll over Macdonald he used the most
common mental tricks of villains.
Macdonald was recently married and
Gray insinuated to him that Patton
was talking about Mrs. Macdonald.
The young husband naturally resented
this and when he accosted Patton on
the subject and was struck on the face
for his pains. he must have been filled
with a desire for revenge. In this he
was constantly supported by Gray.
MacDonald's mind was weak Oh this
point and it was not so hard a matter
for Gray, without the aid of hypnotism,
to drive Macdonald to a frenzy where
he could not appreciate or listen to
conscientious promptings against MUIR
der.
Lady Macbeth forced her husband to
kill the king although she cannot be
said to have used hynotism any more
than Iago, with his adroit villainy,
drove Othello TO degree of jealousy
which made him insane and brutal.

David Progress: Some may suppose the
supernatural visitants, ghost stories, oc-

drawing-room and f1reside, but II appears
that strange things do happen even here.
More than one can vouch for the truth
of the following: While Colonel Black
well was being held at Wards farm ten
miles east of Claremore, pending bail, the
guards would chain him to the bedstead
at night in order to make sure of his safe
keeping. One night after all was still
about the house. the guards who slept IN
an adjoining room to the one In which the
colonel was Kept, heard a rafting of the
chains, but attributed 1t to some move
ment the prisoner was making. Next
morning upon examination, they found
the chain loosed from around his ankle.
but the lock in place as if the prisoner
had slipped his foot out. This SO sur
prised the guards that considerable cog
itation was had as to how it was done.
They asked the colonel how IL came about
and received In reply that the Lord had
sent his angel to unlock the shackles OF
the Philistines. The guards became sus-
picious and would not allow Mrs. Black
well or anyone else to go near the prisoner
after he had been chained for the night.
However, the same thing occurred on the
succeeding night in exactly the same
manner. One of the guards awoke in the
night and thought he heard a continuous
clicking like the rapid beating Of small
hammer or telegraph instrument Next
morning upon examination the chains
were unloosed in a similar manner as
before. Will some Of our unbelieving
readers explain how the colonel became
free from his chains II not by the manner
in which he claims II was done? Spirit
ualism. hypnotism, magnetism and all
other isms will not be applicable in this
instance.
