THE GREAT M'EwEN.
Another Crowded House Greets McEwsn
at the Opera House Last Night.

Another Crowded House Greets McEwsn
at the Opera House Last Night.
The opera house was again crowded
to its Utmost capacity last night, to
witness the great McEwen in his scien-
tI6c hyprotic exhibition of grandeur
and magnificience, at times holding
the audience spell-bound, by produc-
| ing deeper stage of hypnosis
than heretofore, and again creating
| one continuous uproar of laughter.
Some of the most well-known young
men of this city volunteered as SUBJ
jects, and the most laughable halluci-
nations were prodnced. The leading
feature OF the performance was the
celebrated Cleveland's Band, when
number of them imagined them
selves to be artists on their instru-
ments, following out the instructions
of; the professor, when they marched
in among the audience, keeping the
spectators in side-bursting laughter,
aud creating one round of applause.
The Hypnotic statuary OF Professor
McEwen's was also wonderful, when
mum ber of young men were made to
believe they we're club swingers, and
at the command of the professor,
while in different positions, were
turned to stone, the muscles being
hard and rigid, keeping them in this
position for five or six minutes. DR..
Deane was called upon the stage to
examine the subjects, and pronounced
it legimate catalepsy. The professor
holds the boards the rest of the week
giving an entire change of program
tonight,

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past two years o.
extreme dull times the Times
Mountaineer has been sent reg
ularly to a great many who nc
doubt appreciate the paper bu'
who have not been called upon
for a settlement of their sub
scription. During those years
we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
on delinquents, knowing that
money was difficult to get; but
now that times have improved
we feel that our patrons should
not only settle all arrearages,
but pay their subscription one
year in advance. We have trust
ed many of you one and two
years, and feel that a return Of
the compliment is due. You
are therefore urgently requested
to pay up back subscriptions and
one year in advance, which will
entitle you to the Times-Moun-
taineer and the Webfoot Planter
one year as a premium.

Our Indian Wards

Notwithstanding many poetical allu-
sions to the disappearance of the
Indian before the face of the white
man as the leaves before the autumn
blast, what may be styled the legal
Indian is still very much in evidence.
For the purposes of the interior depart.
ment there are still on the rolls out
side of the FIVE Civilized Tribes in
the territory and the New York
Indians. III IFS Indians who are look.
ed efter by the government on III diff.
ferent reservations. These Indians
it would appear, are quite satisfied to
remain Indians and wards of the gov.
ernment. They hold SO, 3,4O4, 1897 acres
of land, out of which they have taken
in the shape of allotments 644, 147, or
something over 100000 acres. The
desire of the Indian to become an in
dividual land holder and Independent
farmer or stock raiser, has not yet
reached the pitch of boiling enthu.
siasm.

Fannie Cornella Condor was born at
The Dalles, Oregon, August %, 1866,
being the daughter of Professor and
Mrs. Thomas Condor. In 1873 the
family moved to Forest Grove, and in
1876 to Eugene, which has since been
the family home. Deceased is an alum
nus of the University of Eugene, grad
uating in the class of 80. She studied
art at San Francisco during the winter
of '94-95, and in September, 1896, went
to Forost Groye, where she spent the
school year teaching art and English
in the Pacific University. Poor health
forbade her return to this work and af.
ter summer spent at Yaquina bay, it
was deemed best to try the balmy
climate of Southern California. Ac-
companied by her brother, II. T. Con-
don, and sister, Miss Clara Condor,
she started south about Two weeks ago,
but stopped at Oakland, what appeared
to be fatigue preventing further travel.
No particularly alarming symptoms
appeared until last Friday, when the
disease developed into acute tubercu-
losis meningitis inconsistencies set
in, and after two days of painless lin
gering, she passed away. The remains
were brought to Eugene, where the
funeral will take place tomorrow.

A Valuable Book.

Prof. p. 81. McEwen's little volume
"Hypnotism Made Plain" is the most
concise publication on the science of
hypnosis that has come under our
notice. 1t takes up the different topics
connected with the subject and treats
them briefly though planely, so that
even the casual reader may understand.
Especially is the chapter devoted to
the physical manifestations of Christ
OF interest. In it the writer takes the
position that Christ while on earth did
not perform any miracles, but only ex-
ercised the laws of nature to their full
lest extent, and that possessing a per-
feet knowledge of such laws, was able
to do whav the people of that age pro-
nounced supernatural deeds. Through
out the work is instructive, and if
thoroughly perused would remove
much of the skepticism concerning
hypnotic influences.

ANTS IN FLORIDA.
The Vast Damage Which These Eneini,
of the Farmer Can Do.

The Vast Damage Which These Enemies
of the Farmer Can Do.
There are more ants to the square
mile in Florida than in any other coun-
try in the world, says the Savannah
News. There are ants which will
measure more than half an inch in
length, and then there are ants so
small that they can hardly be seen. to
move with the unaided eye. There are
red ants and black ants and trouble
some ants. But as bad as they are, 1
have never heard of them eating out
the seat of mans trousers, as mis-
sionary, Rev. Mr.. Wilson, once told the
writer he saw the army ants do in
India while the man was sitting on the
earth for few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants will take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are planted
and actually destroy the beds. They
will suck the life out of acres of young
cucumbers .and melon plants, uproot
strawberry plants or cover the buds
with earth to such an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie, pickle,
sauce, sirup, sugar; on meat, in hash;
will riddle a cake or fill loaf OF
bakers bread till it is worthless. ALI
remedies failing, 1 took to batting them
near their nests with slices of meat,
bones, apple and pear parings, and
when had from fifty to one hundred
thousand out would turn kettle OF
boiling water on them. 1 have killed
during the past week over a million in
the space of a quarter acre lot, and
have almost wiped them out. 1 had to
do this to secure any lettuce plants,
and many unobservant farmers COM
PLAIN of seedsmen when they should at
tribute their troubles to insects.

BRITISH COMMENT.
! Lord ReveIstoke's uOpinion of President
McKinley's Message.

| Lord ReveIstoke's tOpinion of Presiden
McKinIey's Message.
NEW YORK, Dec. s.-A dispatch tc
the World from London says:
Lord Revelstoke, head OF the bank
ing firm of Barring Bros, was asked
today for his opinion on the effect oi
President Mckinley's message. Lord
Revelstoke said:
"The currency suggestions have
been decidedly Disappointing. We ex.
pected something more tangible than
a scheme contingent upon conditions
which the president gives no indica-
tion of any intention to bring about"
"Do you consider the pacific tone of
the message calculated to improve the
market for American securities over
here?" he was asked.
"Yes," replied Lord Revelstoke.
SIT is certainly relief to find nothing
aggressive in the message. 1 antici-
pate that business with the United
States will be very brisk after the new
year. They are having prosperous
times over there, and confidence is
being gradually restored"
Mr.. Gordon, who succeeded the late
Walter Burns in the direction of the
London branch of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
said:
"Several stock exchange men who
have been in here this morning tell
me there is general disappointment at
the wishy-washy color of the presi-
dents currency paragraph, and
that American stocks are weaker in
sympathy with that feeling"

Club Officers Elected.

The election of board of trustees
for the Dalles Commercial and
Athletic club was held Tuesday in
the club room. The reports of the
secretary and treasurer were read,
showing that although the club had
been to a great expense remodelling
and refitting its quarters so that they
are second to none in the state, yet
the club is emily slightly in debt and
has a mem bership of 14O, which far ex-
ceeds that of any club in Oregon out
side of Portland. The presideat, Judge
Bradshaw, in a few well chosen re-
marks reviewed the history of the club
and thanked the members on behalf of
the board for their support during the
year. The members of the club were
evidently we'll satisfied with the actions
of the board during tho year and evi-
IDENTIFY believed in letting we'll enough
alone. The board that has been act
ing during the past year and was re-
tanned for another year by election
last night is as follows: w. L. Brad
shaw, 81. M. Beall. J. b. Hampshire,
r. B. Sinnott, w. 81. Wilson, E. c.

oNE.LEGGED SENATORS,
Four of Them We're Together at Oh
Time In Washington.

| Four of Them We're Together at One
Time In Washington.
Say what they will, says Washing.
ton letter, the associates of Senate,
Berry, of Arkansas, cannot persuade
him to try cork leg. At one time
there were four oue-legged senators.
Three of them half concealed the loss
with an artificial substitute. They
used to get together in the cloak-room
and tell each other how much more
comfortable they felt, but they never
convinced Senator Berry. He clings
to his crutches, Notwithstanding they
have failed him more than once, and
sent him headforemost downstairs al
most to his death.
There are funny things about this
one-legged business. Henderson, OF
Iowa, the Dubuque veteran, man.
ages them so well that people form his
acquaintance and see him around for
weeks without learning that he is part
cork. Once in awhile the stump be-
comes sensitive, and Mr.. Henderson
leaves the artificial leg at home for a
few days to rest himself, while he hob
bles about the house of representatives
on crutches, to the amazement of those
who have not known him long. A sem
ator who manages an artificial leg
without awkwardness is Butler, of
South Carolina. He carries a cane and
moves with some deliberation, but not
one person in one hundred passing him
on the street detects any stiffness in
his gait.

BRATTAN TO BE BROUGHT BACK.
Was Arrested in San Francisco on a Bench
Warrant

For fear that C. T. Brattan, one et
the principal witnesses in the case ot
the United States vs.. 1. A. Taffe,
might not return to Portland when
wanted, bench warrant was issued
for him Wednesday. This is the case
where l. w. Walker is alleged to haye
offered bribes to Brattan and Ed Kill
feather, jurors, to secure favorable
verdict for the defendant in the suit
of the United States vs.. 1. II. Taft,
proceedings in condemnation for right
of way for the proposed boat railway
at The Dalles of the Colombia.
Brattan has been out on his own
recognizance since the indictments
were returned, and embraced the op.
portunity to go to San Francisco. He
is now on his way to Portland in the
custody of on officer, and. and will in
all probability be required to give bail
upon his arrival.
AS the case of the accused will be
tried in the near future. United States
district attorney thought it would be
a good idea to have Brattau en- hand
when wanted, and while no intimation
has been received of any intention on
the part of the witness to leave the
covntry, it was feared that something
might turn up to induce him to go far
ther away.
Walker and Kilfeather are out on
bail
