McEwen, the Hypnotist.

Those who are skeptical about hyp-
notism should have attended Prof.
McEwen's performance last evening
They would have seen it demonstrated
in manner that could not leave any
doubt in any ones mind. Prof. Nc
Even gave a performance that judging
by the comments heard, was the most
satisfactory in the history of the New
Theatre. He kept his audience in q
continual roar from the antics of his
subjects. The audience was SPELL
bound by his wonderful power in the
closing feat of his performance, that
of the "Human Woodpile' in which he
places small boy under the influence
of hypnotism and made him support a
combined weight of not less than 500
pounds. The specialties of Mccoy
and Regan were of high class and the
house should be filled during the bal
ance of his engagement.

The New Hall.

The breeder Hall, on the corner of
Second and Erie stress has been leased
by the A. o. U. w. Lodge of this city,
and has been fitted up in first class or
der for lodge purposes
They have papered and painted the
hall and waiting rooms, put down new
carpets and hung new window shades.
Two clusters of incandescent lights
adorn the ceiling, and with the seven
side lights, makes the hall as light as
day. The effect of the electric light as
reflected by the haes of paper and car
pets is indeed most beautiful. Proper
closets have been built for the use
of the various orders who occupy the
hall, and before winter comes again,
the hot water system of heating will
be put in; the stairs will he placed on
the Erie street side of the building,
with light at the landing above, and
it was expected that the stair would be
in place before this time, but owing to
unavoidable dely in the building, it has
not yet arrived. When finished and in
place, screen slide will be placed at
the top whereon each order, who so de-
sires, may, on their meeting nights,
show the initial letters of their order;
these lettes so placed so they can be
seen from almost any poin on Erie
street; when the old stairway is closed,
the main floor will be extended to COW
or the present landing place, thus ma
king four good rooms for waiting and
ante rooms; and last, but by no means
the least essential, private closet will
be put in place. When completed this
will be the best suit of lodge rooms in
Mo. Valley, and having the best acaus
tic properties in the city.
