THE HYPNOTIST.

Wednesday night at the Opera
House, after DR.. Goshaun had COM
cluded his exhibition of mind read
ing, Courtney gave an exhibition
of hypnotism. Thirteen young
men We're called up on the stage
and seated in a circle. Courtney
then examined them and rejected
all but Earl Fry and Charles Flato,
Jr. After getting the boys under
the influence, he proceeded to make
them do lot of funny things,
The crowd laughed when the boys
ate lot of paper, thinking it was
fruit cake.
Courtney ran a pin through the
back of Earl Fry's hand and the
lobe of Charles ear, but neither
Ainched. The most remarkable
, feat was as follows; Courtney
placed Fry in perfectly rigid con-
dition, placed his feet on one chair,
and his head and shoulders on am
other, leaving his breast and hips
unsupported. Lossin, the city
marshal, and who tips the scales
at about 240, then mounted on
Fry's body and stood on his breast,
Courtney said that he could put
four men on him just as well as
one and from all appearances he
spoke the truth.

A Novel Cure for Drunkards

What is believed to be the most orig
inal and unique method yet evolved to
bring an intoxicated man back to a
sober condition is that in use at Waverly,
an oil town in Wood county, a short
distance south of Listerville w. Va
When oil was first struck there among
the first people to arrive were the saloon
men, and drunkenness was very COM
mon occurrence in the streets of the.
little city. until one night the chief of
police hit upon happy idea and pro-
ceeded TO put it into execution with
the help of a number OF men about the
city whom he had put on.
In large vacant lot back Of one of
the supply houses was huge iron gas
tank lying, and in one end of it there
was a hole just large enough to admit
of a good sized man being put in. A
drunk was secured, and the chief and
his assistants proceeded to give him a
free dose of new jag cure. The fellow
was compelled to go along. and he was
showed through the hole in the top of the
gas tank, and once in there the tank was
rolled around all over the lot, and there
was no chance for him to get out until
the crowd had got tired of the sport
and let him out Of their own accord.

city from doing business. Similar suits,
it is said, will be begun against the Live
Stock exchanges in all parts of the coun-
try. The announcement comes in the
nature of surprise, the movement hav-
ing been conducted with great secrecy
The Kansas City case is said to be re-
lated only remotely to the movement,
the assistant attorney general having
charge of the case at Omaha being
quoted as saying that the decision of
Judge Foster merely indicates what Mr.
Mckenna assumed to be true when he
initiated the series of proceedings above
referred to. The ground upon which the
proceedings have been begun is that
the exchanges are organizat tons whose
action is violative OF the provisions of
the Sherman antitrust law. Eviden tly
the sweeping scope of that measure is
