Mamie Rogle Bituen by a Ferocious
African Monkey.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-There was one mon
key on exhibition at Kohl s, Niddleton'S S
dime museum on Saturday night that
was invisible to the crowd that went to
the Clark street place last evening.
When it saVagely attacked Miss Mamie
J. Hogle, 912 North Clark street, Satur-
day evening, the managers promised
Mr.. Hogle that the animal would be
Immediately killed. Mr.. Hogle said last
night that the museum people hadn't
done anything of the kind.
Saturday was Mamie Hogle's last day
of vacation. Yesterday she was to have
returned to a convent, where she has
been a pupil for two years. Mamie
wanted to go to the museum, having
never seen anything of the kind. The
father went with her.
They had not been inside ten minutes
before the little African monkey crept
up behind the girl, and, without warn
ing, sprang at her. Mr.. Hogle seized
the monkey by the throat and threw
it violently to the floor. 1t made an
other spring. HOgle kicked it again
and again while it was attempting to
spring at his daughters throat. He

they only laughed at his appeals for
help, and told him that the animal was
only playing.
The monkey retreated, and then made
a jump for the girls lower limbs, and in
another instant had sunk it's teeth in
her flesh. Mamie tainted away and
was taken to a near by drug store and
thence driven to her home.
Several vain attempts were made
yesterday by the museum people to
have an interview with Mr.. Hogle. Mr..

WAR ON HYPNOTISM.
School Officials Put an End to
the Craze at Sheboygan.

Sheboygan, Wis, Dec. 3.-The school
authorities have made astonishing dis
coveries in more complete investigation
into the results of Prof. George w. Fer
gusons hypnotic experiments in the pub
lie schools. Demonstrations have been
made in all ward schools, the high school
alone escaping. Pupils of all ages from
the tiny tot in the kindergarten to the
youths bordering on manhood and wO>
manhood have been used as subjects.
OF the hundreds of children Prof. Fer
guson has hypnotized none has suffered
injury in any way, but the effects are
shown in the hundreds of young Sven>
gals that are found in the various grades
of the schools
Boys of 10, u and IA years have become
experts in control, and they find their
subjects among their little playfellOws.
Girls in short dresses have taken up the
mysteries of the science and have expert
mented on their younger brothers and sis
ters. Little groups of boys and girls
that assembled in the halls and playrooms
or on the grounds of the school buildings
and who before the exposure of Prof. Fer
guson's classes in hypnotism were sup
posed to be discussing verbs and percent
age are now known to have been deep in
the mysteries of hypnotic suggestion and
control.
one of the most sensational facts
brought out last evening at the meeting
of the school board when Prof. Fergu-
son was dismissed because OF his hyp>
motto experiments, related to demon
stration of hypnosis in the Fourth ward
school a week ago. 1t was charged by
commissioner that recently Prof. Fergu-
son visited the Fourth district school. and
after the close of the study hours invited
the older pupils to remain. The windows
were covered with curtains and the tram
som darkened and a dozen or more of the
pupils were placed in hypnosis.
The experiments continued for an hour.
Another case was that of 6-year-Old
girl named Alker. a pupil of the Second
ward school. She was called into Prof.
Ferguson's residence and hypnotized. She
was told that dogs were pursuing her, and
the fright and nervous shook seriously af-
fected her. A few days later the little
one was in school and Prof Ferguson at
tempted, in the presence of the teacher. to
place her in hypnosis, but the experiment
failed. At tn next meeting of the city
council ordinance will probably be in
troduced prohibiting the practice of hyp-
nOtism in the city and punzshing Offend
ers by heavy fine. The feeling inspired
by Prof. FergusOn's 5 experiments is IN
tense.

The Purlington's New Observation
Vestibuled Trains.

A very handsome set of wide obser-
walton vestibuled trains are just out of
the Burlington's shops. They are avail
able for all classes of travel, and are
the only trains of their kind to St
TO11is from the Missouri River. These
are the Denver, Missouri River and St.
Louis limited trains. Every car has a
vide observation vestibule. The trains
are lighted throughout with Pintsch
gas and equipped also with standard
and compartment sleepers.
These trains are a duplicate of the
new Elf to Chicago.
This achievement reflects the high
est credit upon the Burlington man
agement in Missouri, which is the first

CANCELLED MORTGAGES.
Proposition to Exhibit Them Meets
With Favor

The suggestion of Representative
elect Charles Harris of Emporia, that
Kansas exhibit at the Omaha exposi-
ton next summer, her Cancelled mort
cages, is meeting with general favor all
over the state.
Mr.. Harris estimates that a collec-
ton of such documents would come
near making a car load and he is in
favor of having every one of them col
lected and sent to the Trans Mississippi
exposition. He says:
"It would be the greatest and best
advertisement the state has ever had.
1t would demonstrate beyond any ques
ton that the people of Kansas are
prosperous: are honest and are dispos-
ing of their obligations not by repudia-
ton but by liquidation"

FRANKLIN SOCIETY.
Mr.. L. w. Russell Reads Paper on "A
Day In The Mammoth Cave"

Before the Franklin Society last evening,
Mr.. l.. W. Russell read paper "A Day in the
Mammoth Cave"
His visit was with party composed mostly
of members'of the American Society for the
Advancement OF Science and special privi-
icges were accorded them in visit which
was continuous for 22 hours. The whole dis
tance TO which they entered about nine
miles, which is called the long tour, and with
the side excursions made in all nearly OF
quite p miles. But one guide accompanied
the party, but rigid rules were imposed for
keeping the members together.and frequeAtly
moses were counted" Once only was there
o delay of about half an hour for the guide to
return on their tracks to recover a missing
man who was found absorbed in fruitless
sfforts TO entrap, in net, the blind FISH OF
the cave lake. He had been totally unsuccess-
ful, declaring that though the fish had not
eyes yet they could "see'' his slightest move
ment.
Mr.. Russell adhered to the theory that the
formation of this cave was due, through ages
of time TO the infltration of acids through
the overlying sandstone into the under strata
Of limestone. snd thus eating away the latter
through the added agency Of water. In
places there were indications Of channels worn
by water.
The speaker said. that In this underworld
lever touched by bright or golden sunlight, "
the pale CLEAN of the moon, or the diamond
glitter of the stars, yet under the light Of
their torches, or the chemical fires, il had a
glory wholly its own. Language fashioned
Cor use in the outer world could convey no
ust idea of the underworld splendors of this
cave. The wonders were not all of beauty
TO- there are dark mysterious rivers and ''bot-
omless' pits.
lengthy discussion followed as to the
origin theory of caves.
ON the suggestion OF the president OF the
society relating to the recent decease of Sam
uel Austin, a longtime member of ths So
cie'y, the secretary was requested TO bring in
at the next meeting suitable resolutions to
be entered upon the records.

yesterday opened the way for the water to
drain off.
The passageway across the new bridge at
the Print Works has 80 far, been widened by
three feet.
What will the tax rate for next year be 2''
Is question that is asked every day. Il is
generally conceded that the town will require
a larger income next year than that drought
in by 81 tar. The economic fnancicrs say
that rate of si.l5 or $l20 will do, while there
are many who say that a rate Of $li0 or 81. 10
will bring an income not too large. AS the
debt Of the town increases the interest to be
paid upon that debt increases and likewise the
amount TO be raid into the sinking fund grows
larger. New school buildings will necessitate
larger expenditure for schools. The intro
duction Of light into different parts OF the
town calls for larger appropriation for
street lighting. Taking these facts into con
sidorntion, tie citizens are coming to realize
that the tax rate should be increased.
Further investigation ON the part OF the
officials viii allow them to state definitely
what rate will DO needed. 10 IL thought that
compromise viii be effected making the
rate about tl.2O. o.
