A shout Of great laughter went up
from the Captains audience, who wink.

however, took all the bantering In good
part, and when the jecrs were ended he
said:

THEY SIMULATE DEATH.


fndlan Fakirs Are Assisted In fhela
DESCRIPTIONS By Hypnotism.
DR.. Kuhn has had occasion to observe
two cases, the genuineness Of which he
had no reason to doubt. One Of the
fakirs In question had been inferred for
six weeks and the other for ten days.
The takirs, who are hysterical to the
highest degree. possess the faculty Of
producing artiacially condition iden.
tical with cataleptic ecstasy. They use
all possible means, such as NORTH.
cation Of the body by special diet, the
Internal employment of different plants
known only to themselves, and the
adoption Of a peculiar posture Of the
body for many hours. When they have
practiced this for sufficient length Of
time, they assume one Of the postures
prescribed by the sacred books Of the
Indians and fall into q hypnotic con.
dition Induced BY looking Hxedly at the
end u the nose. Hasheesh IL still made
use Of BY them to diminish the respira.
tory force, for this hypnotic. when asso.
ciated with other plants and employed
In peculiar manner, makes up for the
loss Of cir and nourishment. The fakirs
have Authorizations when hypnosis be.
gins; they hear certain sounds, see an.
gels. and their faces express q feeling
Of happiness. But, little by little, con.
sciousness disappears and the body nc.
quires a peculiar rigidity. This IL EVIL

sufficiently predisposed to It. This leth.

and when the subjects are aroused It 10

writer, we may nnd accounts Of persons

these facts, for Bouchut, In his treatise

woman who had been disinterred IN

she lived many years afterward. Also
In tho department Of the north there

SCHOOL NOTES.

The first session of the Allen County
Teachers Association for this year
was held last Saturday in the high
school building at lola. The atten-
dance was good considering the fact
that many of the teachers have not
commenced their schools yet.
The following program was rem
dered: Literature by Mrs. l.. H.
Picken in which Mrs. Picken discuss
ed at some length, Robert Louis
Stevenson and his most familiar work
DR.. Jeckel and MIR. Hyde. Teachers
who have not read this book would do
we'll to get it at once and read it before
the next meeting.
The Medley, rendered by Miss
Maude Esse was excellent and we re-
greet there were not more present to
hear it.
The paper on Primary geography
by Miss Grace BOstwick set forth
most an excellent working outline for
the primary grade. 1t would be
we'll if every teacher of primary work
were provided with such an outline
as Miss BOstwick has prepared. The
discussion on intermediate geography
was given by Mrs. Picken, and on
advanced geography by Prof. Picken,
Supt. Jones and Mrs. Picken.
Afternoon, the paper on the first
day of school was read by Miss Flora
Arnold contained many helpful sug-
gestions which it would be we'll to
heed.
The subject of numbers was dis
cussed briefly by Supt. Jones, and
notation and enumeration by Prof.
Picken.
The association then adjourned to
meet at Humboldt the first Saturday
in October. The music was con-
spicuous for its absence at this meet
ing but hope the next meeting will do
better.
Mr.. Geo. Freeman, Miss Daisy Hob
art and Mr.. Homar Henderson went
to Baldwin this week where they will
attend Baker University the coming
year. A number of others from this
county whoes names 1 have not re-
ceived, will attend the State Normal,
State University and other schools
and colleges of the state. Nothing
promises more for the future of our
schools than for the teachers to seek
for better qualifications by attending
some of the schools of higher learning
Crane and Company, through Maj.
Foust, is preparing to bring action
against Allen county for violating the
contract made with them for the Ex-
celsior Reader.

Allen county has been sent to the

fair grounds. We don't know how
true the report is, but people should
be very careful about buying any
thing of that kind of strangers, as
they may be stolen goods.
The band has been playing every
night this week for the show which
is being held nightly in the Opera
House. They have not been hired to
do it, but have been playing just for
the practice so that they could be in
good trim for the fair. That is the
kind of metal our band boys are made
of. And as a result of all this good
practice the lola fair will have better
music this year than it has ever had
before.
Rev. and Mrs. w. l.. Squier enter
tanned few guests last Tuesday
evening in honor of Misses Clara
Klaumann, Ella Ewart and Henri
eta Henderson and Messrs Fred
Nelson and Richard Ewing, who will
all attend the University this year.
In addition to the foregoing, those
present were Rev. and Mrs. l.. s..
Faust, Prof. and Mrs. Picken, Mrs.
&. F. Scott, and Misses Clifford
Mitchell, Blanche Wright and Cora
Mcdonald. Mrs. Squier is delight
full entertainer, and the evening was
a most pleasant one.
Only medium sized audience
gathered at the opera house last night
to witness the presentation of "A
Southern Rose" by Chas. r. Marvin's
Players, but the few who did, are
loud in praise of it. The acting by
all was superb. The plot was of a
kind that takes, and the manner in
which it was executed is deserving
Ofthe highest praise. These people
deserve larger crowds than they
have been playing to, and We trust
their success in last nights perfor-
nance will draw them. Tonight
they put on Gan Orphan Girl" play
which will please the most fastidious.
With her accustomed hospitality,
Mrs. r. &. Stevenson opened her
house last Thursday evening for a
farewell reception to the young people
who are to spend the year away from
home at school. John and Willis
Henderson, Fred. Nelson, Richard
Ewing Herbert Eshbaugh, Miss Hen
rietta Henderson. Miss Clara Klau-
mann and Miss Ella Ewart go to the
State University; George Freeman,
Homer Henderson and Miss Daisy
Hobart 60 to Baker. Leveus BOst-
wick goes to EmpOria. Nearly all of
these were present at Mrs. Stevenson's
and, with many of their associates
who are to remain at home made up
a jolly company. We doubt if anoth-
er town the size of lola sends so many
young people away for the advant-
ages of higher education and all of
our boys and girls carry with them
the best wishes of all their friends.
