SAGASTA'S GLOOMY VIEW.
Talk About Nation Having Trouble;
Spain Has Enough of Her Own.

Madrid, Sept. 15.-Senor Sagasta, the
Liberal leader, in an interview on the
subject of the Cuban Instruction, saws
that the uprising instead of dying out,
is spreading considerably. In addition
Senior Sagasta says, the situation in the
Philippine islands is serious He also
asserts that the Carlist propaganda in
Spain cannot be viewed with indiffer-
ence, and expresses the belief that a re-
Cancellation between the political par
ties in Spain is impossible, as long as
the Conservatives are in power In
conclusion Senior Sagasta says:
In my opinion the cortes will not
meet, but if they do meet their exist
ence is ephemeral"
The Liberal leader refused to express
himself regarding the relations between
the United States and Spain.
The position of the Bank of Spain
continues to greatly concern CONNER
cial circles, owing to its immense net
circulation. Paris exchange has reach
ed 3150, the highest on record. AS the
bank has lent the state $50 600 900
pesetas repayable without interest in
1920, its affairs would become critical in
the event of the bank mourning losses
on loans, in the absence of sufficient
guarantees against current accounts
and note circulation.

JURY DEFIES JUDGE.
Refuses to Return Verdict as Directed
by the Court.

Fender, Neb., Sept. 15.-Last night a
jury caused scene in the district court
here by refusing to return verdict which
the court had directed. It was in the
case of the county against eX-County
Treasurer Holtz's bondsmen to secure an
alleged shortage of $50. 900. The case had
been previously reversed by the supreme
court and Judge Thomas ordered the jury
to find for the county.
The jury, as a whole, refused, declar-
ing that it was a matter of conscience
in which they could not permit the court
to interfere. The court was inclined to
think the jury in contempt, but as they
positively refused to sign the verdict the
court ordered that the clerk make the
record show that the verdict was really
returned by the jury.
The defense will appeal and novel
point will be tested nthe supreme court.
This practice of judges ordering juries to
bring in verdicts was never before ques-
toned in Nebraska, and has become very
common.

NEGROES AND LYNCHINGS.
Colored People of Corsicana, Tex,
Want Law to Take It's Course

Corsicana, Tex. Sept. 15.-At q meet
ing of colored citizens held here in the
City hall to consider the subject of
1ynchingS and criminal assaults, reso-
lutions were adopted expressing disap-
prevail and utter detestation of the
many crimes committed by negroes all
over the country, opposing crime in any
form and pledging assistance to the Of
fcers in bringing to justice any negro
guilty of crime. The resolutions declare
that the crimes referred to can not be
laid at the door of the intelligent class
of negroes, but are in most cases COM
mitted by irresponsible loafers and
tramps. and that, while no law-abid-
ing citizen could condone lynching, we
believe that persons guilty of a heinous
crime should be Immediately appre-
hended and swiftly dealt with accord
ing to the law
The resolution closes with an appeal
20 white men to protect hard working
and law abiding colored citizens in
their homes and about their occupa-
tons from mob violence, lynching,
Whitecapping and any form of violence
at the hands of the midnight regula tor
and assassin. The meeting was a large

MRS. BESANT ON x RAYS.
Noted Theosophist Says They May
Be Physical or Mental.

Chicago, Sept 15.-Mrs. Annie Besant,
the Theosophist leader, lectured last night
before a large audience at Steinway hall
on the subject, "Clairvoyance. Mental
Healing and Allied Powers: Their Rela-
ton to Theosophy and Science"
"Clairvoyance," said Mrs. Besant sis
high grade of seeing, the mental per-
ception of the ultraviolet rays. 1t is
not actual physical sight, though the
vibrations producing it are the same as
those that do produce sight. 1t is the
development of a special center in the
brain and is in fact an x ray produced
by mental instead of mechanical powers.
All persons have this power of clairvoy-
ance, though it is not as well developed
in some as in others. Mesmerism devel-
ops the clairvoyant faculty. A person
mesmeriZed has the complete clairvoyant
faculty. A person under such control
can diagnose disease, for the reason
that the power enables the seeing of the
exact condition of the organs of the body
hid from ordinary view. This is a power
which the science of medicine already
recognizes. 1t is regularly employed in
many of the hospitals of Paris.
Mental healing, which is separate from
the faculty of diagnosis. is of three kinds
and presupposes three divisions of dis
ease, the first where some substance not
in harmony with the body must be
moved; the second where there is lack of
harmony in the vibrations of the body it
self, and the third where there is actual
lesion of tissues. The second is the
binary class and in it cures frequent;
in the other two classes the difficulty of
cure is greater"
Having admitted the existence of men
tai healing the lecturer proceeded to point
out its dangers in IF a mental
healer" she said, ''be not pure in mind
and thought, the transfer of evil as well
as good will be made to the patient Here
is the danger. The bodily temporary ill
may be substituted for lasting mental in
jury. Theosophy realizes the powers of
mental healing and does not challenge
the facts, but it does say that the higher
the power utilized the cleaner must be
the hand brought to the task

London, Sept. 15.-Experts are of the
opinion that the number of derelicts
will De increased before long by the ad-
dition of mammoth pontoon now on

United States government is responsible
for her creation, for recent events nave

This dock will accommodate the
largest vessel in the Spanish navy. Nine
tugs were required to get the pontoon
out of the Tyne to sea on Thursday.Th

PLEA FOR HUMAN, LIFE.
Il is Held Too Lightly Says DR. Kirk
patrick in His Annual Report.

The annual report of the state board
of health issued today was prepared by
DR.. Thomas Kirkpatrick He says:
1T is to be deplored that-the laws of
Kansas are so constructed that they
give but little protection to the honest
practitioner. What we have are not en-
forced, for the reason, in nine cases out
of every ten, the county attorneys have
been negligent of their duties in the
enforcement of the medical practice
act
There are numerous cases of this
kind all over Kansas today, and some
thing must be done to raise the value
of human life, that it will not be
risked to a chance for succession in Of
flee. Human life is treated too lightly.
The sacrificing of the same is ever ex-
tant to accomplish something else. This
SOrdid nature of ours must be refined,
that we place human life above politics
and money getting. Until then, We
degrade ourselves, the laity, and the
fair name of our state. Give US a bet
ter medical law. Empower the state
board of health, that they can enforce
the law and put stop to the violations
that are constantly going around us.
Then we can stamp out most of the
crime and unhappiness that now exist
in the state. This to the reader may
seem broad assertion; but if he will
make a careful study of the matter for
short time he will find that such is
the case. 1t has been said, "A little
knowledge is a dangerous thing Look
around you at the mass of ignorance
that is owned by the numerous prac-
titioners and you see their mistakes
The many deaths reported each year are
but the proof of some ones neglect in
many cases.
THE lifelong invalids that are or
have been prey to quacks, the divorces
so often granted, domestic infelicity the
claim is made in too many cases-these
are the living examples of some unhap-
piness in this state. The practice of
many of the so-called professionl men
which leads directly to these ends is
the proof 1t is silently going on
clan is at times father confessor' to his
patients, and if he would always give
good words of advice and encourage
ment, much unhappiness and crime
would be prevented. The moral stand
ard of the profession should be such
that no one be allowed to practice med
icine unless he is a strictly moral man
and of good report before the world. >"

Cataprh to
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
ton. Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment of sprays, washes and iAhal-
ing mixtures find that it is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it is
only a question of & short time when
the lungs are affected.
The importance of the proper treat
ment can therefore % readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being a blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
S. c., writes:
81 had such a severe case of
Catarrh that 1 lost my hearing in one
