ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

does not seem improper 10 tel ie"
things and note few observations not
yet recorded. Cheyenne we found to
be city of about the size of Salem,
but not nearly so solid and lively a
town. The newspapers were smaller,
the state house about as large, candi'
dates for senator about as numerous.
Only horse car line was abandoned for
lack Of nickels on the part of the peo-
pie more than for want of disposition
to psy. There were far more empty
houses In The suburbs than at Salem,
and the once Tedhot town is now very
quiet. No electric line.
IN HIGH LATITUDE.
o. course, Cheyenne depends upon
mining and cattle ranging, the latter
ldustry being very fat, oWingtO the
grasses being very short and fed down
to the earth. All the stock ranging
countries we passed through wore
tired, desolate appearance. They can
only maintain very thin population,
that ekes out a precarious existence,
being tolled by the long distance
| fire. gbts aud water monopolies. A few
cattle barons and great many penni-
less cowboys MAKE up the population.
The elevation of Cheyenne is six thou
sand feet. The ozone, ar electricity, in
the air fairly snapped and cracked, and
we felt shortness of breath once in a
while, even in the sleeping cars. First
| we thought of heart failure. But we
had eaten all right at the last station
for grub. II was the altitude that
made our head swim.
WE MEET A HYPNoTIsT.
AT Eau Clare, Wis, recently, Drs.
Pickin 6 Son, were arrested and put
under bonds for getting hypnotic con-
troll of seventeen-year-old Edna Briggs
and keeping her under hypnotic influ-
ences for vie~Purposes. She was only
rescued by employing a hypnoIist
physician, to counteract the malign in
huences of Pickin & Son, who are
expert mental telegraphers. Reading
this we were fortunate In meeting DIR.
l.. II. Anderson, whose card read:
"Hypnoust and Scientific Magnetic
Physician, Masonic Temple, Chicago"
| He was en- route TO San Francisco, with
"A lady presumably his wife. On his
card was printed: Construction given
physicians and others. Call or write
for pamphlets" In the American
Tyler, of Chicago, Waverlys's Magazine,
of Boston, and other papers, ! found
his advertisement as follows: "How
to succeed A well written treatise on
Personal Magnetism, and its develop.
ment, etc. One hundred page book on
Hypnotlsm, 10 cents" But the doctor
would not talk. What we learned here
about him had TO be Cleaned from other
sources. He told us he was going to
san Francisco. He told the conductor
he was going 10 Colorado Springs. /
got the Pullman conductor 10 ask him
for bis card. The lady he WAS with
left some newspapers In the seat with
his advertisements. The porter tried
TO pump her but she would not talk.
The hypnotist would not play whist.
His art was not 10 be exercised at such
low pursuits. He was innocent Of any
knowledge Of eards. A Chicago lady
took the train al Cheyenne, where our
bypnotists had suddenly left us. The
lady said he WAS one Of several who
had been operating from Masonic
Temple, but bad recently been run out
of there, These bypD0tlsts are vile
quaeks ard their irRdyeriiseDlsnis should
DO fup out Of decent newspapers, The
question however remains, do pbysi'
clans take instructions from these fol-
