Probability That Mrs. Brad
bury Will Testify Against
Her Lover.
STORY OF A HYPNOTIC SPELL.
Both Cases Called in Judge
Lows Court, but Suffer a
Continuance.
THE WOMAN TOO I'LL TO APPEAR.
Mrs. Banning, the Mother of the Run.
away Wife, Arrives, and Re-
cancellation Follows.

There is bright prospect now that the
runaway wife of Millionaire John Brad
bury of Los Angeles will shortly appear
in a new and rather sensational role.
Seldom does Mrs. Bradbury do any
thing that is not sensational.
1t is asserted, and on what seems to be
the very best of auth ority, that the alleged
hypnotic spell under which her friends
claim that her elop1ng companion, H.
Russell Ward, has held her. is now dis
pelled TO that extent that she is ready and
willing to go upon the witness-stand next
Thursday and testify against her lover.
The story that Mrs. Bradbury is apt to
tell under oath will be, it is said, some.
thing decidedly startling. It is to partake
OF hypnotism-the story of another Sven
gall Turing a victim on to ruin and dis
grace in spite of her efforts to shake off
the dread influence.
OF course Mrs. Bradbury may not have
the hardihood to say that she tried ever
so hard TO escape from her British char m
er's spell, but will probably tone it down
to an notwithstanding statement that
she simply could not.
1t is said that she is going to relate how
for weeks and months-aye, even for some
years-this awful man coaxed and ca ioled,
whispered and cooed, until, silly thing
that she was, she began to believe that
she really loved him, and loved him bet
ter than home, husband and name.
1t was while reveling in this intoxi-
eating delirium-so it is said her tale will
be--that she listened and consented to
the suggestion to undertake the fight
from Los Angeles that has resulted in her
being ogIed wherever she dares to 60,
pointed at by the finger Of scorn, marched
in disgrace TO prison, and finally in her
being prostrated in her bed.
When the pampered wife of the indul-
gent Southern Cresus arrived in this City
last Friday with Ward she boasted she
would never think of returning to her old
home, for she mad found in him what she
had never known before, and that was
real happiness.
But now?
She refuses to see this same man.
She avows that she cannot for the life Of
her understand her former conduct, ex-
cept that she has been the victim of some
awful control that she could nelt ther
fatbom nor resist. Now he $ monster
She prays for protection from him, and
with what seems to be genuine remorse
and repentance beseeches those who
throughout her sunny life had loved and
petted her for forgiveness-all except the
husband whose heart she is said to have
broken by her cruel desertion, and she
could scarcely be expected to have the
effTontery to ask this.

The Colunbi

After five weeks spent not altogether
protitably in experimenting with new
plays, the Fra wleys last night reverted to
the old favorite line and produced "The
Two Escu cheons," one of those exquisite
society satlres peculiar to this aggrega-
tioh.
Before the first act was over the audi
ence recognized what they had been wait
ing for ever since the "home com pany"
returned to San Francisco this season. 1t
virtually amounted to an opening mig t
OF the engagement.
To say that the production last night
was done as the Frawleys did it last year,
when it took the local hearts by storm, is
simply to say that ii was done ad mirably.
Frank Worthing, Blanche Bates, Harry
Carson Clarke, Theodore Hamilton, Gladys
Wallace, Phosa McAllister and Thomas
Ross shared the credit accorded by the
audience in proportion to the parts they
were cast in. Mrs. Bates and Mr.. Worth
ing in their delicate word fencing were
never seen TO better advantage.
''The Two Escutcheons" will be con-
tinued for the balance of the week.

The people of New Mexico hope and

onel Philip Mothersill of Engle, in this
territory, for the position. Colonel
Mothersill is remarkably we'll fitted to
discharge the duties of the office, by
character, education, experience and
knowledge of the country, with fidelity,
efficiency, honesty and to the full satisfac-
tion of the government. He is a lifelong
Republican and made 6ne record dur
ing the war as an officer in a Michigan
regiment. For these reasons it seems
but just that Colonel Motheraill should
be selected for the position.

THE SICK MAN OF EUROPE

1t is said, and truly too, that man never
gets too old to learn, and the men of the
world have learned a whole lot about
Turkey and it's ruler in an article from
the pen of Hon. A. W. Terrell, ex-minister
to Turkey, which appeared in the current
number of one of the leading magazines
Within the past two years there has
been much adverse criticism of Sultan
Abdul Hamid over the massacre of the Ar.
menians which have taken place under
his rule, and the i'm preston has gone out
that the Turkish empire is almost one of
the "reminiscences of the old world, and
particularly that part known as Turkey
in Europe. 1t is not the purpose of this
article to enter into any discussion of the
Armenian question or to excuse the
Turks for their atrocities, but rather to
call the attention of people to the fact
that the nations of Europe have not in
terposed in behalf of the persecuted
Christians of Armenia for the reason
that it was rather dangerous thing to
un dertake.
In the first place Abdul Hamid is one
of the most adroit and subtle rulers in the
world and is thoroughly posted on the
iealousies Of the ruling powers. With
this knowledge he has been able to gain
his desires in the settlement of all cues
tions affecting his empire without dis
playing the real strength of the Moslems.
Much paper and ink has been used recent
ly trying to explain how and why the
Greeks we're defeated in the war between
the two countries only ended. No ex-
planation is necessary. The sultan can
place an army of 100000 men In the
field in short time armed with the most
approved and improved firearms, and
these men are the most desperate fighters
on the earth, by reason of their religious
training. They are fatalists who see
heaven through the smoke of battle and
death on the battle field is a sure entrance
to paradise.
Nor is that ALL The sultan is the
spiritual head of the Mohammedan world,
and as such virtually exercises absolute
sway over 16O,O00,OOO of people who are
only waiting for him to sound the battle
cry of religious or holy war. The mo-
ment Abdul Hamid sounds that CRY mil

Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with grasp that
becomes firmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only cold at
first, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
difficult to cure and stays longer than for,
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken; they mark the first appearance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
stubbornness, and which it is impossible
to cure with the local treatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
disease of the blood, only a blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. S.S.S. (Swift's Specidc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.

ITALY THIN KS she HAS A GRIEVANCE.

Anent war with Spain comes the in.
formation, how true it is no one knows.
that Italy would like to take q hand in
the unpleasantness and thereby even up
some supposed scores with this country
Just at this time the country seems to
have enemies on every hani. All the un-
fortunate happenings of the past century
are raked up as possible excuses for
teaching the presumptious Americans
their proper place among the nations Of
the world, and incidentally to wipe out
the Monroe doctrine, that bug-a boo of
Old World countries.
1t will be remembered that some years
ago the citizens of New Orleans, while en-
jo5ing lynching picnic, strung up by
the neck several Italians who had been
conducting themselves in an OBJ Objectionable
manner in the Crescent city, and after a
careful investigation the government in
demnified the families of the men thus sac
and amusement. 1t was supposed at the
time that the understanding arrived at was
satisfactory to the Italian government and
people, and the incident had almost been
forgotten, but right now, when Uncle
Sam has his hands full of Spanish,
Hawaiian, Japanese and other matters,
Italy takes up this old hanging and wants
more satisfaction.
The facts in the case are that the peo-
pie of New Orleans were only in fun when
they stretched the necks of the sons of
the land of glorious sunsets and did not
intend any harm, much less making q
disturbance years after, but we suppose
explanations are outlawed now. There
fore there is nothing to do but fight.
Well, it is better to settle these troubles
all at once than to have them strung out.
over long teymof years.
The situation has grown Sc serious that

stricken members of the New York stock
exchange we're frightened almost to death

before the storm struck them. It is al
most miraculous the number of times the
United States goes completely to the
everlasting bow-wows as a result of lit
tie fun the people Of some one section
have--oply to come back again. From
all indications it is time for Johnnie to

Dialect Stories.

SCOTT 4 BOVINE. Chemists. New York.

We observe the dialect story epidemic
continues in rhe United States in all its
virulence. We nearly died of the Scotch
dialect yarn. 1t was stuffed into us till
we turned away with nausea We have
not yet recovered from that. 1t is cruel
ty to animals to keep on giving us
American tales whose characters appear
to be commended to US chiefly OH the
ground that they are guiltless of an un-
derstanding of grammatical English.
We have had for years the New Eng
land twang, with its queer chopped off
words and misplaced verbs and adverbs
This might have been permitted because
of the real genius of the writer of the
New England dialect fiction, reason
which it must be confessed is wanting
in the case Of most of the other native
writers.
Next came the unspeakable, frightful
dialect spoken by the natives of the ru-
raj districts along the shores of the
Ohio river. Then followed the negro
story, and last and the worst abomina-
tion of all appeared the New York

Oklahoma.

The boomers who planted their stand
ard in Oklahoma eight years ago planned
for the future better than even their EN-
thusiastic souls dreamed. No part Of
the Union, not even California, has
more resources agrioulturally than this
splendid young boomerland Agricul-
turally 1t seems to be a region where
north and south meet and mingle har-
moniously. Cotton will grow luxuri-
antly. So will wheat, as well as in
Canada. Guthrie, the capital of the
territory, is situated in Logan county
In this county the present season a
farmer has raised a wheat crop from 65
acres that, at 81 a bushel, will bring
him $3.50. 1t averaged 30 bushels to
the acre. A farm of 200 acres III the
older states that returned $1,95O from
all its sales, grain, dairy, live stock,
poultry, fruit and everything else,
would be considered perfect Klondike.
From Mulhall, little town in Logan
county, were shipped this season / 1000
carloads of live stock
The nineteenth century citizen tames
nature by great leaps and bounds. A
child can remember the boom rush to
Oklahoma. Now smiling orchards, gar
dens, waving grainfields and the music
of buzzing bee and grain reaper, the
lowing of herds, greet the ear Of the
traveller, while his eye looks upon a
people as peaceful, orderly and intelli-
gent, as well equipped with the COM
forts of civilization, as any in the older
states.
Oklahoma is the paradise of the
farmer, the gardener, the fruit grower
and the live stock man. 1t is this year
as prosperous as Kansas.
