HYPNOTISM KILLED HIM.
a Boy Dies From the Effects of Hyp-
motto Experim ents.

jamestown, N. Y, Feb. 4-James w.
Spurgeon Young, a 17-year-old coIored
boy died January "a under circum-
stances that indicated his death was
due to hypnotic experiments by ire
sponsible amateurs. Coroner Bowers
ordered an inquest, which was conclud-
ed last night. The evidence disclosed
the fact that the boy was first hyp-
Noticed several months ago by r. Lou
enstein, Pittsburg travelling man, and
was subsequently experimental upon
by several local amateur hypnotists
"A hypothetical question covering
these facts was submitted to DR.. ]. D.
Buck of Cincinnati and DR.. Clark Bell,
president of the Medical Legal society
of New York, and their answers ex-
pressed the opinion that such expert
ments would result in great physical
injury.
The evidence of one of the physicians
conducting the autopsy strengthened
the theory that death was due to hyp-
notism and the jury rendered verdict
that the boy came to his death from
diabetes and nervous exhaustion caused
by hypnotic practices performed by r.
Louenstein, Pittsburg; Daniel H. Gran
din, Park H. Davis, Edward P. Dodge
and Robert Bemis of this city.

THE FIRST CONVICTION.
Judge Foster Present and Asks the
Court to be Merciful.

Judge Foster and Treasurer Samuel
RadgeS of the Foster Humane society
were in police court last evening to wit
ness the proceedings in the first case
resulting from the new humane ordi-
nance.
A eolored man named Taylor had
been arrested for having his horse
refined too high. The witnesses testified
that the head of the animal was drawn
UP high as it could well be by the
means of rein.
The culprit made no defense and the
prospect of a fight to determine when a
horse is overchecked, which Judge FoS-
ter supposed would come, was averted-
After the evidence had all been taken
Judge Foster addressed the court:
81 have no desire to see this young
man severely punished" said he, but
it is high time that something is done
to check this abuse of animals by the
means of high checking. The ordinance
is being violated daily on the streets,
but this is the first arrest that has
been made. Our officer has been len
lent. We have instructed him to make
no arrests unless he found that the law
was being grossly violated, and ne mas
been extremely cautious
"a man may whip a horse, and in a
little while the animal will not suffer
from it, but high checking is continual
torture. 1t is something the horse can
not get away from. hope that the fine
in this case will be large enough to
make an example of it. We do not de-
sire to punish any one, but this ABUSE
of horses must stop"
Police Judge Atchison made the fine

ODDS ON CORBETT.
A. L Smith Has $4,000 to Bet on
the Big Fight.

San Francisco. Feb. 4-When the
news came over the wires that A. L.
Smith of New York had $40 900 to bet
on Corbett at odds of 7 to 10, the sports
at this end prophecied that more money
would change hands over the match in
Nevada than over the Corbett- Sullivan
fight.
A B. Daniels, who is said to act as
agent of Phil Dwyer, said that he had
some Corbett money to invest. As a
feeler he was willing to bet 81 900
against $500 that Corbett would win,
or if any of Fitzsimmons' friends cared
for fancy wager, he would lay $10-
600 against SIS, 600 that the match would
go in Corbett's favor. None of the Of
fers found takers.
Harry Corbett, brother of Jim, offered
to bet $4,000 against 81, 900 that Jim
would win in eight rounds or less.
Judging from this there will be some
big betting in San Francisco when the
men have both settled down to train
ing. The opinion is expressed on all
sides that there will be less odds on
the forthcoming fight than on any 9TH
er big match that has taken place in
years.

Mormon State
In the United States Senate on
the 53rd Ballot.
REPUBLICAN VOTE
Decided the Long Drawn Out
Contest.
RawIins Is a Democrat and a
Native.

Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. 4-Rawlins 80,
Thatcher %, Henderson 1, Brown l.
This was the result of the fifty-third
ballot of the Utah legislature, which
elected Joseph L. RaW1ins to the United
States senate and closed one of the
most exciting political contests ever
held in the state
This was what might be expected.
Church talk was injected into the pro-
ceedings SO persistently that several
times the presiding officer had to call
attention to the fact that it was polit-
zeal body for the purpose of transact
ing state affairs
When the roll call was finished it ap-
peared that Rawlins had 81 votes, or
within one of election, while Thatcher
had but 4. Then several members
changed to Thatcher from other can
didates until his vote was brought up
to 20 During the time the changes
We're going on excitement was intense.
FINALLY Representative Hansen, a Re
publican, who had voted for Goodwin,
changed to RawlinS and his election
was officially announced.
Joseph Lafayette RawlinS was born
in Salt Lake county Utah. He re-
ceived part of his education in this
city, graduating later from the Indiana
state university at Bloomington. He
studied law in this city and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1875. He has all
ways been identified with the Demo-
cratic party of Utah and is an advocate
of free coinage of silver. He was elect
ed to congress as a delegate on the
Democratic ticket in 1892, defeating
Cannon in 1894.
He was a delegate to the last Dem
Ocratic national convention and was a
member of the committee on resolu-
lions. He is at present a member of
the law firm of Rawlins & Critchlow of
this city.

MRS. MORRIS'S DREAM.
She's Going to South Africa to See if
it Win Come True.

New York Feb. AIRS. Matthew
Morris of this city will sail for South
Africa soon to try to break the will of
her late sister, Mrs. Thomas Blair of
Port Elizabe
Thirty years ago Mrs Morris sister
emigrated to Port Elizabeth. There
she married Thomas Blair a wealthy
broker. The husband and wife died
in the fall of 1898. On the night of her
sisters death Mrs. Morris says she had
a vision. She saw Mrs. Blair with her
throat cut and covered with blood.
Since then Mrs. Morris has received
what appears to be a detailed account
of her sisters illness and death. Dis
tant relatives told her that she was not
mentioned in the will, and that about
$4,000 was left to them. But Mrs.
Morris was not satisfied and goes to
investigate that dream.

IMPORTANT TO SUFFERERS.
HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN A LAST
ING CURE FOR PILES.
No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Tri-
fling Expense-A Simple, Harm
less Remedy, But it Does
the Work.

There are some people who have piles
as frequently and regularly as other
people have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring
them on, any extra eXertiOn, in
lifting. will produce them. and in fact
will often appear without any apparent
provocation. Piles, however, are much
more serious than cold, as the ten
dency is always to grow worse until
the trouble becomes deep seated and
chronic, or develops into some fatal
rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes a permanent
cure, and that is the well known Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple
harmless, vegetable ingredients, but
combined so effectively and act so
promptly and thoroughly that it cures
every form of piles whether itching
blind, bleeding or protruding.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
Pile Cure has proven to be the only GER
tain cure except surgical operation.
and its advantages over an operation
are many, as it is painless, causes no
delay, or interference with daily occu-
patton and last but not least,it is cheap
er than any surgical operation could
posi- bly, be, costing but dollar a pack
age at any drug store.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure
will not reach are so few that physi-
clans are doing away with operations
for piles and depending on this cheap
but effective remedy to accomplish a
complete cure, and it never disappoints
except in cases beyond the reach of
medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by the Pyramid Drug company of AL
biOn, Mich, and for sale by druggists
everywhere at so cents per package.
Each package contains a treatise on
cause and cure of piles. together with
testimonials from every section of this
country.

TO FIGHT THE LEAD TRUST
Colorado SHELTERS Form a Combine
for That Purpose.

Chicago. Feb. A special to the Chron-
icle from Denver, Col, says:
Colorado smelterS have entered into a
combine against the lead trust of New
York, which has been debating prices to
western producers of lead. The western
combination will now ship their product
to Europe. This will neceSSitate the inn
portation of lead by the trust and the
payment of I cent a. pound duty.
The ore comes chiefly from British Co.

shipped in bond via Galveston to Havre,
France. Last night six car loads were
forwarded and other shelters have ap-
piled to the government to have their
plants bonded so that they can handle
Mexican and Canadian ores in bond while
smelling. There is no charge for Smelt-
ing lead ores.

LARGE MINT RECEIPTS.
Heaviest January Total in the His
tory of the Denver Branch.

Denver, Feb. 4.-During the month of
January, for which the books of the
Denver branch mint were closed yester-
day, the gold receipts equalled $751;
1877 68, compared with $50. 1853 for
January, 1896. The record for the last
month is the best in the annals of the
local branch mint. January is rated as
a dull month in mining.
This year. however. has proved an
exception at the smelters and mills and
the mint receipts, drawn partly from
both, confirm, the statements of activ
ity in mining. especially in the districts
which produce gold. Last months gain
over the corresponding month in 1896
was $165, 900, or So per cent.

WAGES TEN CENTS ADAY.
That is the Price Paid Silk Lace
Makers

Washington, Feb. 4.-United States
Consul Fowler at Chez Foo. China. has
supplied the state department with a
number of samples of beautiful hand
made silk lace at that place
The industry is comparatively a new
one and the report sets out some facts
of interest about the product which is
said to be not only of the best quality,
but also of remarkable cheapness. The
latter made possible by the fact that the
Chinese female lace makers wages is but
ten cents per day There is a reference
also to magnificent silk embroideries made
at Ningpo under the direction of sisters
of charity upon the Partisan patterns and
also sold at a very low figure.
