COULDN'T WAKE HIM.
a. Mesmerist is Folc to Release
Subject From His Spell" in
Chicago

Chicago, Aug 24.-The Chicago po-
lice force has pitted it's strength against
the power of hypnotism, and the result
may be termed "a draw.
Chief Kipley and his men, acting in
the interest of humanity, sought to
prevent an exhibition of a seven days
hypnotic sleep given at a North Side
hall, and succeeded, but not until they
lease the subject from his mesmeric
influence.
The subject was Samuel Burg, q
young Danish barber. Burg was put to
sleep Sunday afternoon with the reg
ulation passes, and it was announced
that he would sleep seven days and
nights.
Chief Kipley sent two detectives to
make a report on the exhibition. The
SleuthS found young Burg asleep in
the presence of a crowd, which includ-
ed several physicians, who explained
to the detectives that they were study
ing the effects of the prolonged hyp-
motto sleep on the subject. The physi-
clans were taking the affair seriously,
hypnotic influence. The detectives were
skeptical, and proceeded to apply such
gentle tests as pinching the boys
cheeks, pulling his ears, and tugging
at his hair. But Burg did not stir. The
detectives reported to Chief Ripley,
who decided to stop the exhibition, and
sent a detail of officers for that pur-
pose.
expedition, gave Burg a rap on the sole
of the foot with his club, but the usual
treatment prescribed by patrolmen for
sleepers was not at all efficacious in the
case of the somnolent subject.
He might have as we'll pounded the
wooden toes of cigar sign. Then the
lieutenant proceeded to shake Burg and
pinch his ears and slap his cheeks, but
to no avail. He thrust his brawny
thumb up under the arm pit and gave
a series OF hearty pinches. But the
motionless form gave no sign of life
and the lieutenant's eyes bulged and
his jaw dropped.
All this time the professor" was
hovering excitedly about and protest
ing that the great hypnotic test was
being held solely in the interests of
science, and that it's results were being
anxlouSly watched by physicians and
psychologists from California to Maine.
The lieutenant scut him short by say
ing:
THE chief says this exhibition has
got to stop. / can't wake the boy UP
and you've got to. or I'll have to ar
rest the whole outfit
Then with a few mysterious passes
and a snap of the fingers the mesmerist
released the subject and the two pro-
ceeded to Chief Kipley's office to pro
test against the interruption of their
exhibition.
In spea king of the matter CbiaP KIN
ley said:
AFTER having investigated the case.
I considered it my duty to stop the ex-
motion for the sake of humanity There
is no telling but that the test might
have resulted in the bows death There
is no doubt that the boy was in a gen
| uine hypnotic sleep. If the boy had
died as result of the test. / wouId
nave peen blamed for allowing the
| exhibition to take place. In the fu-
| ture no permits for exhibitions of the
| kind will be granted"

Last evening Ben Jordan hurried to

You are right, I am going to serve

NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
Vice President of the 3. Of L. F. Says
Firem en- Will N Not Go Out.

Cleveland, Aug. 24-Vice President ]. J.
Hanrahan of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive F'iremen made an address last
night at an entertainment given by the
firemen in aid of the striking miners, and
at which $1,000 was realized. Mr.. Hanra-
han said:
t'I am glad that we have been able to
show our appreciation of the cause of the
miners by raising money to send to them.
We are with them, heart and soul, but
might as well, while 1 am speaking, eX-
plain that there will be no sympathetic
strike on the part of the railroad en-
ployes in our brotherhood to assist the
striking miners.
"Ours is very large brotherhood, with
membership in the United States, Canada
and Mexico, and we have made contracts
which we must fulfill. We realize fully
that a contract is as binding on an en-
ploye as on anyone else. So there will
not be a sympathetic strike on the part
of the railway employees in aid of the
miners.
1--WE prefer to aid them in such way
as this. While working we will contri-
butte to their support, and will do as well
by them as will any organization on the
earth.'

A POINT FOR FUSION
Is Made in the Decision of the Nc
Bride Contest Case.

The state election board composed of
the attorney general, secretary of state
and The state auditor today decided that
members of one party may participate
| in the convention held by another party
and that the nominations made therein
shall be considered the nominee of the
two parties, establishing what is per-
haps a new precedent in this state.
The decision was made in the case of
James A. Ray of Wellington who at
tempted to prevent the placing of the
name of w. t. Mcbride upon the Off
cial ballot for judge in the Sumner
Cowley counties district. The board
decided in favor of Mr.. Mcbride.
Mr.. Ray alleged that the nomination
was not properly secured and that no
convention of the Populists had been
held although a call for such convention
had been duly made. The Popuiists
went into the Democratic convention,
and avoided the necessity of two con-
ventions by accepting the nominee, Mr..
Mcbride, from the one convention. The
Populist convention was not held but
Mr.. McBride's name, by virtue of the
fact that the Populists participated in
the convention, will go upon the official
ballot as the Populist well as the
Democratic candidate for judge of the
Nineteenth district.
Mr.. Ray did not attend the hearing
but was represented by J. G. Waters
and Frank Foster of this city
Mr.. McBride'S case was defended by
Judge j. A. Herrick, assisted by Mack
Love.

DR.. M'lNTYRE'S PLAN.
The Methodist Divine Will Send
a Proxy to KlOndike.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Rev. Robert Nc
1ntyre, the popular Methodist divine,
well known in Denver and Chicago. is
interested in the new gold fields. The
minister will treat his case of gold
fever homeopat thically, however, by
sending proxy to the Yukon.
The man selected by the divine to Sc
cure for him a mine of shining gold is
Edward Page CASTOR, a newspaper man
and explorer, whose researches with the
Hemenway archaeological expedition in
1883 obtained for him recognition as an
explorer and student of American and
Mexican antiquities.
The Methodist pastor confided his
plans to a friend as follows:
Ever since the K1ondike was first
brought to the attention of the reading
public 1 have been interested in the ac-
counts of the gold fields, and 1 know of
no reason why a Methodist parson
should not search for gold. I am thor
oughly in earnest in this matter and
anxious to secure promising claim.
Mr. CASTOR goes, if at ALL at my sug-
gestion and my expense, but he is also
actuated by the value of such a trip to
the student and lecturer.
1T is not yet definitely settled that
Mr.. CASTOR will go. but it will be if !

now stand n-the way of my Desires

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago, Aug. "a
WHEAT-Today for the first time in
nearly week the wheat market was in
something like its normal condition
was apparent The curb was firm on the
Liverpool cables which showed opening
declines of 21ad2s4d, somewhat less than
expected 1870 p. m. cables said that all
ali but 1lzd of this had been recovered
there was enough selling ali ia around the
pit to start the market lower than Mon
weak. weak enough to affect prices here.
A feature of the early trading was the
relative strength of September over De-
cember, very little of the former being
offered for sale after the first furry was
over. This became more apparent when
tember, which closed yesterday at $50
e61sc, opened today at from csc to e515c
and rallied to CSC, while December open
ed all the way from 9615c to 951ac COM
pared with yesterdays closing price OF
recovered ~ 9514c. But the comparative
erpool cables We're received showing total
% Of 4a Of bnshe of oh
wheat Were poured on the market which
e71kc where it had settled to in the mean
time, to 9412c in about three minutes,
while December broke 14c at time to
CSC and September to 95c. In that brief
time the excitement was tremendous.
Weather reports were peculiar, northwest
temperatures varying from 20 above to
line. Crops were conflicting. Northwest
receipts were very small, 234 cars against
322 last week and 654 a year ago.
-CORN-The market much
sembled that of wheat, starting easy
general selling, in which the elevator peo-
pie led, the selling being Influenced by
the heavy receipts, 1,797 cars and by fav-
orable weather in the corn belt. Some re-
covery ensued from the opening decline,
but the market quickly followed the re-
markable break in wheat and became
radically weak September corn opened
1%c lower at 301ac, declined to 30c, recov-
cred to 303sc, then broke quickly to 29ssc.
December opened at from 33c to 33asc
against yesterdays closing price of 321sc.
1t sold at 32Ac, back to 32ssc, then de-
clined to 313zc.
OATs-Too, were very active and real
izing was heavy around the opening. The
market followed wheat and corn in their
recoveries and also in the following break.
Local receipts were rs cars: September
lied to 19c and broke to 1S1ac. December
opened &c lower at 201sc, sold at zoe, raj
lied to 201ac and declined to 201se.
PROVISIONS = Were firm without
special incident A lower hog market was
responsible for small opening recesSions.
A rally followed without any one appar-
| emily giving it support and prices were
| firmly maintained at the advance not
| withStanding the radical weakness in the
| grain pits. September pork opened 212c
| lower at $3.50 and advanced to $3.50. Sep
| tember lard opened 215c lower at $4.6215,
/ sold at $3.50 and recovered to S4621s. Sep
