Hypnotized and Then Buried but Behold He Rises From His Resting Place--Pro-
 lessor Boones Work.

Indianapolis, Aug. 5.-Professor, Boone, a well-known hypnotist, put J. J. Wyatt under his mysterious Influence yester- day, and announced that he would bury his subject and bring him to next Friday afternoon after an interment of three days. Wyatt had previously consented to the arrangement, and the burial took place at Fair View park last night at 10:30 o'clock, tube being passed down to where he lay. He was buried under 4 feet of ground and a guard was placed at the grave. Shortly before noon today Wyatt came out from under the influ- ence and, realizing his situation, began screaming like wild man. He was hur- riedly dug up and itswas some time be- fore he could be cooled down. He pro- tested against a second interment, but Professor Boone soon got him under con- trol and Wyatt was again put down in the earth. The experiment is attracting much attention.

M0RT0N'S BANQUET
Turns Into Sound Money Conference-Agree on Ia Delegate to the Indianapolis
 Conference

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 5.-A banquet was rendered J. Sterling Morton last night at the Omaha club Ostenslbly it was a gathering of friends of the secretary of agriculture to renew old acquaintance, but in reality it was a conference of prominent administration democrats of this state to determine what action Ne braska should take in placing national democratic ticket in the field favoring a maintenance of the gold standard. The sentiment expressed was in favor of sending Postmaster Euclid Martin of this city to the conference at Indianapo- lis August 2, with the understanding that Nebraska should not take any prominent part, but allow some older state to de- termne and outline the policy to be formed. It was the opinion of those present that if a national convention should be called preference should be given to some western candidate, but Mortons name was not mentioned. It was the belief of those present that something should be done to maintain party organization. It was admitted, however, that the placing of democrat ic national ticket in the field with gold tendencies might cost Mckinley some votes. Hfs

 Galveston, Tex, Aug. 5.-The better portion of the day was spent by the pop ulist state convention listening to speeches by stump" Ashby, Melvin Wade, Cyclone" Davis and other prom inent speakers in the populistic camp. The temporary organization was not perfected until nearly noon and the ere dentials committee required so much time to attend to the affairs that came before it that the convention spent the afternoon listening to the orators. At D. m. the credentials committee sent word to the temporary chairman MT. Burnett, that it would be unable to re- port until D. m., and an adjournment was taken until that hour. All the speakers were middle of the road" men and denounced any combination with re- publicanS or gold democrats.
 Telegrams from the state convention held in Louisiana today were received and the announcement of the choosing of straightout Bryan and Watson elec- tors was wildly cheered. Two hours of the night session was taken up in a fight over the adoption of the report of the committee on order of business. The con vention got into a tangle, dozens of dele gates talking at once or striving for recognition, and finally it was decided to vote on the report section by section. There was great disorder in the hall, and the business of the convention was al most blocked, owing to the noise.
 The platform may not be reached be- fore tomorrow.

RAYS IN CONSUMPTION.
The Results ot Some Experiments by Two
 Physicians.

The Results ot Some Experiments by Two
 Physicians.
 Electrical Engineer
 A number of well known physicians of Chicago have been treating an almost hopeless case of consumption with a dl- rect application of x rays through the lungs, and, although they are not pre- pared to state positively that the disease has finally found its cure, some of them are forced to the conclusion that the re- suit has been wonderful. One signs his name to the declaration that the effects ''so far are but little short of the marvel- ouS. They are all conservative. They speak only of the changes actually re- corded and waive final judgment until the patient shall have been subjected to the new discovery for a second period of five weeks.
 Prof H. P. Pratt, who carried on the first experiments with Prof. Hugo Wightman, prepared his electrical ap- paratus and his special Crookes tubes for the applica tion. The patient, whose face was withered and full of wrinkles, came into the laboratory supported by his mother, His temperature was 1031a, pulse 100, respiration 34. His chest was barred, the tube placed in direct contact with the flesh. The exposure was for three hours. At the end there was a de- crease of degrees in temperature, the pulse leaped to 120 and the respiration fell to 22 This record was made in the presence of several physicians, and tho boy was allowed to go home with no oth- CT remedies than such stimulants as would have been given to al patients under the same circumstances.
 With subsequent treatments contin- ual improvement has taken place during five weeks. Signed statements of the doctors who have attended the treat ment of the young man are published in the Chicago Times-Herald.
 If tha aDparentlV successful results here recorded are due to other cause than the effects of imagination, which psychologists have shown are capable of producing most wonderful changes in pathological conditions, they may per- haps find an explanation in a suggestion advanced by MT. Edison some time ago. Assuming, he said, that the X rays are analogous to the ultraviolet rays of or dinary light, which, 1t is known, are de- structive to bacteria generally, we have in them germicidal agent which Is cap able of passing through the flesh and acting directly on the diseased organs

THAT MOORE FAILURE
Still in Statu Quo-They Are Making Every Movement to Open the E Exchange and
 Put the Moores on Their Feet.

Chicago H., Aug. 1.-The Moore Brothers expect from the east such financial help that will enable them to pull through the Diamond Match-New York Biscuit company crisis in their busi- ness career and allow the opening of the stock exchange in a few days. Judge ". H. Moore brought back with him from the east today certain assurances and promises of eastern bankers, on which he bases the hopes of the firm for assistance, to a large amount, in caring for the match stock. On the plea that the statement of the Moores for the guidance of the governing committee of the stock exchange and the city banks was not ready, but really to allow of certain telegraphic correspondence to pass between the firm and their eastern packers, the meeting of the governing body, which was set yesterday for the noon hour, was postponed to 5 o'clock, when a complete and satisfactory state ment was promised
 The governing committee of the stock exchange met at o'clock as per call, but as no statement was forthcoming from Moore Brothers adjournment was taken till tomorrow.
 Vice President Jamieson said this morning that the exchange would open as soon as the Moore stocks could be taken care of. When William H. Moore

Moore, will endeavor to make arrangements with the local banks and capital ists that have been taking loans cn match stock, so that the lenders will take the Moore lines of match and biscuit at a price probably about ITO for match and 75 for biscuit. They will also probably form syndicate of eastern bankers and capitalists, which will support the local market for the stocks at the price of which the Moore lines are turned over.
 New York expressed much surprise that concern making the pretensions of the Chicago stock exchange should close up, thereby destroying the local market for securities, merely because two specu- lators handling a single line of stocks faile I to respond to margin calls.

 Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 5.-The day is sizzling hot and the delegates to the re- publican convention are doing the best they can to keep comfortable. There was some comfort to be found, however, in the great exposition hall, with its depth of cool shade and many drafts and currents and the delegates fiocked there in crowds long before the time for calling the convention to order at noon. The situation this morning has not changed perceptibly. Robert M. Lafol- lette and Edward Scofield still remain neck and neck in the race for the guber- material nomination. There are six can- didates in the field, but these two are prominent figures. It will require 341 votes to nominate, and neither of the leading candidates will have within fifty of this number on the first ballot. At noon the great hall was well filled, about 800 republican notableS, including nu- merous candidates, occupying the stage.
 Chairman Edwin D. Coe of the state central committee called the convention to order and presented a report of the state central committee as to creden- tials, after which he introduced c. A. Lamoreaux of Ashland as the choice of the committee for chairman.
 After confirming the committee select ed by the district delegations the conven- tion adjourned until 3 o'clock.
 At that hour the committee reported and the platform was adopted. It fol- lows the lines laid down by the repub- lican platform at St. Louis

PAVED WITH GOLD.
Two Early Cities Whose Inhabitants Daily
 Tread the Precious Metal
7-11-tf
5-2-tf

There are other cities besides the New Jerusalem whose streets are paved with gold.
 They are Prescott, Ariz., and Johan- nesburg, in the Transyaal.
 To be sure. the proportion of gold is small, about $4 to the ton of earth rock, but it is gold nevertheless, and the cities named are the only one of mundane growth whose inhabitants are able to tread the precious metals under foot with impunity.
 With the machinery at present in use it would cost more to reduce the ore than it is worth, but in years to come, when science shall have discovered less expen- sive methods of reduction, the aldermen of Prescott and the Boers or the Uitland- CTS of Johannesburg, whichever are in power, may crder the streets torn up and the paving crushed to help out the city treasury.
 The paving stones used in Prescott are taken from the mountains that surround the town.
 If paving stones other than those con- taining gold could be gotten more cheap ly they would doubtless be used, but there is trace of the yellow metal in all the rocks of the mountains about the city, and where it is not found in pay ing quantities the stone is no more pre- cious than the old cobbfes once so com-
 
 cities
 In addition to gold, the stones contain. 20 cents in silver to every ton, making them bimetallic in nature and a constant rebuke to MT. Whitney and his followers.
 Unfortunately there are no strset- sweepers in Prescott, and the golden pavement, instead of being bright and furnished, is more often dingy.
 In Johannesburg, surprising as it may seem to a person at this distance, the pavement is better laid and better kept than it is in Prescott.
 There is about the same proportion of gold in it. but the Boers and Uitlanders are like the girls in the pay-they don't notice it." They take no more heed of their golden streets than they do of the asphalt thoroughfare used as bicycle track, although many of them may nav CT get a glimpse of the auriferous pas sageWays on high
 It is said of President Kruger that one day when his attention was called to the fact that he was standing on street of gold he remarked gruff1y that he would sooner wade through mud, for 1t would be easier on the feet
