WONDERS OF THE SAGES.
Their Hypnotic Work mt the Academy
is Well DOnO.

The strange and unusual feats ac-
complished by the Sases and their as
sstants in the exhibition of hypnotic
and mesmcric power at the Academy
of Music last night cannot be faithful
ly described in limited space. 1t Is
enough to say that about every feat
which hypnotists claim they are able
to perform was done or can he done by
the Sares and their two aides, n. H..
McDOde and Dr. Granville Gray.
All the seats in the Academy were
occupied and the large audience was
not tired when the curtain was wrung
down. Meanwhile young man at
tached to the company had been put
to sleep and afterward carried to one
of the display windows in Dunn's fur
niShing store, where the subject will
slumber until 9.4l o'clock Wednesday
evening, when he will be awakened on
the Academy stage. Until then he will
be watched by a committee of local
people and will receive neither food
nor drink. The same feat was per-
foimel by the Sages when here last
spring.
Since their last appearance here the
Sages have become more dramatic in
their work and give a better entertain

Such a scene as the one presented at
last nights meeting of the board of
control was never before witnessed in
the history of that body, and for deep
ly dramatic effect it surpassed even the
climaXes OF some of the leading trag-
edies before the footlghts.
The case of Mis-. Lucy Booth was
disposed Of
An obtuse observer could not fail
TO notice upon entering the meeting
room before the meeting was called to
order that some startling developments
would eventuate. There was an air of
mystery on the faces of the controllers

mttce rooms. 1t was S.15 before Presi-
dent SChriefer's gavel raped order.
a few minutes We're taken up with
minor matters, and then came the be-
ginning of the scene, when Mr.. Worm
ser arose in his place and said that
certain charges dcrogatory to the char
acter of one of the teachers in the high
school had gone out, the High and
Training School committee had inves-
tigated the charges and begged leave
to submit the following report:
THE CHARGE GROUNDLEsS.
Certain reports prejudced to the charac-
ter of Mrs. Lucy Booth having been
brought TO the members of the high and
training school committee. they felt II
to be their duty as IA committee, to exam
inc into the truth of such reports, ana
after making such examination as they
have been able to do, and having all SUCH
statements as they could get knowledge
OF, and after mature consideration, We,
the committee, believe such reports TO De
entirely unfoundcd and untrue and In
justice to the lady mentioned, do SO re-
port.
What motive could have actuated the
accriser of Mrs. Booth we do not know,
but 1t certainly has the appearance of be-
ing a willful and malicious falsehood told
about this lady for the purpose of injur-
ing her.

MARK HANNA will go down into
history as the best instrument for
frying the fat out of the rich cor
porations that this country ever
saw. Every railroad that leads to-
wards Canton is at command. In
their desperation to make it appear
that there is great enthusiasm for
their candidate, train loads of peo-
pie are hauled free over these rail
roads to see Mckinley. OF course
lots of Mckinley shouters can be
found on these terms. But will
not all this syndicate activity for
Mckinley set the common people
thinking? Are all these soulless
corporations spending their money
on Mckinley from purely patriotic
impulses? Not at all; they expect
to use Hanna's man if he gets into
the Whitehouse. For that reason
the people will try to beat the cor
porations and trusts in this cam
paign and will vote to put a repre-
sentative of the people in the White
house. Hanna's use of the rail
roads for Mckinley will prove a
boomerang out on the prai'.ies. In
the meantime it will be noted that
Bryan's triumphal march goes on
both the candidate and the multi
tudes who flock to hear him paying
their own freight. That enthusi-
asm is genuine.

EDWARD BoYcE, the labor leader Of

that he will not be candidate for
that position before the next legis-
lature. Mr.. Boyce announces him
self an ardent admirer of William

that that gentlemen will be the

A systematic effort is being made
to force Wolcott of Colorado to re-

nature of petition which the peo-
pie of the state are to send to the

will be signed by 100000 voters of
the state The latter are falling
over each other for a chance to help
fire the misrepresentation every

S. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor.

The HERALD has received large
number of letters from men of all
parties on a subject proposed in
recent issue of this paper-that of
putting a county silver ticket in
the field. That a majority of the
voters of Kootenai county would
like to vote for ticket composed
of representative silver men there
is not any doubt in our mind. The
people are Disguised with the pie
eating jugglers in all parties. While
it is not yet too late to put such
ticket in the field, the time is ex-
ceedingly short, and we doubt if
the scheme is practical at this late
day. The trouble is this-the peo-
pie are too poor to go to the expense
of organizing. 1t takes money to
pay the expense of travelling long
distances to conventions. The pol
iticians and pie eaters can do it be-
cause they expect to get their mon
ey back over the pie counter, but
the people who have only princi-
pie at stake, and no direct interest
in the result, can not afford the
outlay of money-many who must
be looked to for help have not got
it to begin with. Under the cir
cumstances, it seems to the HERALD
that the only thing left for the peo-
pie is to make the most intelligent
use possible of the ballot, with the
material at hand. Support candi-
dates for the legislature who
will vote for the reelection of Fred
T. Dubois to the United States SEN
ate. Aside from that, slaughter
the candidates who are responsible
for a nonunion of silver forces.
The trouble has been that the peo-
pie have been too easily led around
by the nose by designing politicians.
If the people would turn those
chaps down occasionally, they
would respect the peoples wishes
better. AS it is they regard the
common voters as so many things
to do their bidding. Party lines
will not be drawn very closely this
year and it will be good year
for the plain, every day voter
to have an inning when he gets to
the polls.
