sensation In the city last Monday.
These tools were stolen from the shop
several weeks before; and after the
arrival In the city Of the Professor, Mr..
Nelson through idle curiosity was In
dnced to visit him at his Office. The
man by some mysterious occult power
Informed the visitor that he had lost

particulars Of the loss he Informed Mr..
Nelson that the tools would he restored

thief would be compelled by some IT.
resistible power 70 return them to the
shop from which they were stolen.
And on Monday morning the tools
were IN the shop, having been passed
through window during Sunday
night. Nobody suspects colIusion on
the part of Mr.. Nelson with the Pro-
fessor, without which there IL no solu-
tion of the mystery except that the
Professor possesses some supernatural
gift.
Prof. Marines prime motive In
coming to this city was To exercise his
wonderful powers In the direction OF
efforts to develop the mining interests
of the Clear water basin. Nine years
ago he directed attention to the Trait
Creek district by predicting, after
being shown some ore from that dis
| trlct, that the greatest mining camp
of the Northwest would he located Mt
the present site of Rossland within ten
wears. As test OF his faith he made
some Investments In mines IN years
past from which he Is now enjoying
an ample fortune. Within the imme-
diate past his attention was attracted
to the Clearwater basin. In this val-
lev, he says, il to be the future great
mining district. il is this important
interest which brought the Professor
to Lewiston. The minor affairs Of life
receive bis attention not as matter of
business, but as matter OF mercv IA Il
humanitarian. In fact his work
seems to be largely along this line.
If his marvellous success Of the past
IL a true measure uf the mans powers
great public and private benefits may
be expected from the Professors visit
here. He takes samples Of ore and
readily pronounces upon their value

il predicted. He is now con 'inced OF
the great richness of the mines yet un-
developed in the Clearwater basin and
the powers Of this gifted man will now
be enlisted in the interest Of the pros
pectors and mines as well as to relieve
the afflicted and distressed
A pathetic incident occurred at the
Professors rooms last Monday. A
well known, but unfortunate lady Of
this city called for consultation. The
Professors ministrations afforded hel
such immediate relief that her hear

paid her fee of one dollar but she fel
that she owed him the blessings
of a grateful heart besides. When th,
lady turned to depart, the good maj
