By the WondrOuS Power of Magnet
ism the Boy Phenomenon Has
Effected Many Miraculous Cures
In Akron.
His Success Has Created the Most
Intense Excitement and Caused
Hundreds to Rejoice Over Their
Marvellous Restoration to Health.
He Gives Life to the Dying, Robs
the Sick Room of Its Suffering
and Cheats the Coffin of Its Prey.

The past week our citizens have
been electrified, dumbfounded, be-
wildered and finally convinced by a
most wonderful occurrence. Every
day reports have reached the public
press relative to the surprising and
unparalleled cures of many prominent
citizens accomplished by the Boy
Phenomenon. The healing of so
many well known persons of all
ments, supposed to be incurable, at
tracted the most widespread atten-
ton, and were a source of wonder
and astonishment everywhere. In
fact, so remarkable were the results
achieved and the cures accomplish
ed that they were almost beyond be-
lief, and not until incontrOvertible
facts, supported by overwhelming
evidence of authenticated and indis-
putable proofs were obtained, would
they be given credence.
But thanks to a discriminating
public and the daily press of Akron
| truth, honesty, merit and skill have
triumphed and today animal magne-
tism and the Boy Phenomenon stand
head of all healing agencies.
LIS S1CoU SuSSCSS oiIIN dU Ul1c
Grand Opera House, but at his pri-
vate office in the Buchtel hotel,
where miraculous cures are daily eff
fected of prominent citizens, whose
maladies were considered hopeless,
have gained for this mere youth not
only an enviable reputation as the
greatest of all magnetic healers, not
only the plaudits of the public and
the Endorsement OF the press and
pulpit, but the personal knowledge,
which is more gratifying than all,
that he has been able to restore sight
to the blind, hearing to the deaf,
strength to the weak, caused para
lytics to recover use of their limbs
and rheumatic pains to disappear.
1t is no wonder that people .unac-
quainted with this phenomenal
power should stand dumfounded
with amazement when they witness
such cures as were accomplished on
the public stage and are now being
daily performed at his private office.
When sick is the time we need the
best advice and treatment; therefore
we say, inform yourselves, you who
are sick visit his reception parlors
any day and witness with your own
eyes the healing ofyour own citizens;
go to their homes, talk with them,
then act as your best Judgment die
tates.
He not only treats the deaf, blind,
lame, paralyzed and rheumatic, but
nearly all diseases of a chronic ma
ture readily yield to his phenomenal
power.
Those who wish treatment and are
willing to pay a small price to be
cured may obtain consultation at the
Buchtel hotel from 10 am to pm,
daily except Sunday.

BUSHNELL ON The WARPAIH

Gov. Bushnell has at last opened
fire on the men who have been try
ing to drive him from politics. In
an interview at Columbus he pays
his respects to Hanna, Mckinley,
Nash and Dick. Referring to Hanna
he says:
''As surely as there is a God in
Israel, the people of Ohio will rise
up and rebuke that man."
The Governor charges Judge Nash,
as manager of the campaign. of 1897,
with having openly neglected the
interests of the state ticket, which
was headed by Bushnell. and apply
ing all the resources of the party to
the election of Hanna candidates for
the Legislature in the close counties.
He charges Col. Dick with fleeing to
avoid the fever at Santiago, leaving
his regiment behind.
''And now," continues the Cover
nor, "they have placed Col. Chas.
Dick, who remained in the back
ground issuing checks during the
last campaign, in charge of the COM
ing campaign. was talking to Ex-
Governor Foster regarding Col.
Dicks selection this afternoon and
he told me that he believed if Dick
was running as candidate himself
he would lose 20 per cent of the
Republican votes of the state. Of
course as he is only managing Judge
Nash's campaign the loss will not be
as great"
The tone of Gov. Bushnell's inter-
view indicates that he has gone on a
sympathy strike to help Foraker
Now that the disorganization of the
Republican forces has been started,
where will it end?

4 Plan FOR SAMOA.
The Commission Recommends
There Be No King.
A GOVERNOR Is PROPOSED.

The Report Also Suggests Legislative
Council of Three Appointees From the
Interested Powers and a Native House.
Philadelphia Brought Heroes Bodies.
APIA, Samoan tIslands. June IA, via
Auckland, n. T., June 22.-Mataafa
surrendered 1850 rifles and the royal
lists gave up 1000. After June 20 a
heavy penalty will be enforced upon
natives found with rifles in their pos
session. Mataafa promised to turn in
more weapons.
The natives have returned to their
homes. Malietoa Tanus was recog-
nized as king by the commissioners of
the three powers, and the decision of
Chief Justice Chambers in the matter
of the kingship was proclaimed valid
and binding. Malietoa Tanus then ab-
dicated in favor of the commissioners,
who appointed provisional govern
ment consisting of the consuls of the
three powers empowering majority
to act in all cases where unanimity
was not required by the Berlin treaty.
Chief Justice Chambers continued
to hold office and the various municipal
officials were confirmed. DR.. Wilhelm
Solf was authorized to act as president
of the municipality of Apia.
The commissioners expect to leave on
June 2S, but they have requested Chief
Justice Chambers to remain. Their re-
port recommends the abolition of the
kingship and the presidency of Apia
and the appointment of a governor,
with legislative council, consisting of
three nominees of the interested pow
ers, assisted by native house.
Under this scheme the governor
would have vote over general munic
ipal laws; the nominees would be the
departmental heads; consular, diplo
matte and judicial functions would be
abolished; revenue would be raised by
an increase of duties and a diminution
of the poll tax; the jurisdiction of the
supreme court would be increased; the
municipality, under mayor and .coun-
Gil, would be extended, and the post
office would be under the general gov
ernment.

Sturdee, left via Fiji'on June 3.

Among the Germans it was rumored
that DR.. Solf would be the administra-
tor i'll the new native government.
SAN Francisco, June 22.-The United
States cruiser Philadelphia arrived here
from Apia, via Honolulu. On board
the cruiser were the bodies of two, Lieu,
tenant Lansdale and Ensign Monaghan,
who lost their lives in the fight be-
tween the Mataafans and the combined
forces of the American and British sea-
men.
Admiral kautz reiterated that he had
done his duty in the matter of the Sa-
moan trouble, and he believed that he
had been subjected to much unjust
criticism in certain quarters. He was
fully convinced that he would be able
to set himself right with the people,
and it was already known that his ac-
tions had the sanction of the navy de-
partment.

UNCERTAIN.
The Time and Nature OF
the Report
OF the School Board investigating
Committee--0ne Witness Examined.

Last night the School Board In
vestigating committee met and ad-
journed to meet Friday evening.
A portion of the testimony was re-
mashed and one witness examined, |,
Miss Sarah Sharpe, a teacher in the
schools, who claims she was dis
charged without notification. She
also claims that the action was taken
against her as the result of spite work
and without justification.
The result of the committee is so
uncertain that nobody can tell just
when it will make final report. On
that account no date was decided
upon for a special meeting of the
Board.
1t has not been decided in just
what form the report of the commit
tee will be put, but it will be made as
brief as possible. Whether they
will recommend change or simply
report their findings, has not been
determined.

This Merriam's Estimate of What the
Coming Census Will Show.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Director Mer-
riam of the census bureau arranged for
examinations for appointments to the
census bureau to be held at Cincinnati
Chicago, st. Louis, St. Paul, Omaha,
New Orleans and Atlanta in SeptemberE
Governor Merriam estimates that the
coming census will show population
of about 72, 900, taking into account.
among other things, the falling off of
immigration in recent years. The clos
ing of contract with Washington capi-
talists for the erection of building for
the exclusive use of the census bureau,
the director estimates will produce a
saving of 100000 a year. This is
based upon the delays in the last CEN
sus by the separation of the force into
various buildings, occasioning loss of
both time and money.

EVIDENCES are multiplying that
the Hon. Chas. Foster, ex-governor
of Ohio, and hitherto leading sup
porter of the Hanna cause, is about
to join the insurgents. Only a few
days ago MI. Foster was quoted as
writing to Senator Foraker that
''Hanna's treatment of Bushnell,
Kurtz and other friends has been lit
tie less than brutal" And now Mr..
Foster is quoted by Gov. Bushnell as
saying that "Major Mckinley is the
most insincere man [ know" That
chunk of federal patronage intended
for Foster was evidently sent to the
wrong address.
