 rafts. Colonel Hare thought Lieutenant Gilmore too weak to live through the trip, but there was no alternative. They shot many rapids, the men losing all their eff fleets, and Lieutenant Gilmore some valua- ble papers. Only fourteen out of thirty seven rafts survived the first nights ex- periences, and eighty men were practically unable to walk when Vigan was reached.
 Describing the flight from Benguet when the Americans approached, Lieutenant Gil- more said:
 '.The Filipinos, completely terrified, left Benguet on December '. They hurried the prisoners from town to town, often retrac- ing the trail, not knowing where the Amer jeans would attack. After being almost without food for three days they killed several horses and we lived on horse flesh for several days. I did not have a full meal from December until I reached Vigan Indeed, the rescuing. party lived largely upon rice without salt. There was one day when l was reduced to chewing grass and bark.
 While we were in the hands of General
  son aiding an American by food or money should be treated as criminal. One zen of Vigan, Senor Vera, was prob killed for befriending us. We would starved but for the kindness of some o residents of the town and some Eli colonels, but others treated us brr Wherever there was a prison we kept there. When there was no prison they would lodge us in a convent We suffered greatly from want of exercise well as lack of food.'
 For weeks Lieutenant Gilmore was coy- cred with boils and in great pain. When the Filipinos found the American troops were approaching the treatment became better
 Man Painted Signs
 .'There was a sign painter in the party and he painted advertisements on the rocks Throughout the retreat with other em- blems like a skull and the word 'venge- ance,' by means of which the Americans were able to follow.
 'The Filipino treatment of the Span iards," said Lieutenant Gilmore, twas brutal in the extreme. The insurgents had old grudges to wipe out against them. Many talk of the reconcentradoes in Cuba, but nave seen Spaniards dying at the rate of two or three day from starvation in the hospitals I have seen Tagalo off, cers strike Spanlards in the face with whips and revolvers."
 The prisoners of Lieutenant Gilmore's part who escaped after leaving Vigan Were Macdonald of the Twenty first In- fantry, von Galen of the Baltimore and Farley of the Oregon. They were captured by savages, re-captured by the insurgents, who had stripped and prepared to beat them, and ultimately rescued by the Americans.

Complete Change Needed

'sWhat is needed" said General Woods informant, lis a complete change in the ju- dicial system. To begin with, the system of fees should be abolished absolutely. All judges and clerks of courts should receive regular salaries. Judicial corporations should be made serious crime, with heavy penalties, which should be enforced against the first offender, no matter who he might be-"
 Senor Sola. chairman of the Havana law college, says:
 Legal reforms are urgent, but such rad ical changes as may be made to advantage ought to be left to the Independent govern ment of the future. Meanwhile there are reforms-especially in connection with ad- ministering the criminal courts-which might we'll be effected at once."
The age-herald., 1900-01-08

there was widespread conviction that al- most any crime could be committed in Cuba with impunity so long as the offender was able to make "judicious investment of money"
 The popular belief according to General Woods information, had long been that it was simply a question of cash if one de- sired to prevent litigated question reach ing the attention of the supreme court.
 The members of these tribunals, he went on to say, were excellent men, but this amounted to nothing in the face of the methods of the court attaches.

this kind of an enterprise.
Already Mr.. Dunbar is beginning to re-
ceive inquiries about the conditions here.
One of these is from Mr. Willard of
NUnda, New York Mr.. Willard is the
manager of the Nunda Casket Co., and
says that he has been in the casket bust
ness for about twenty-five years In his
letter he states that at present his capital
is all invested but that if a company was
organized, he could take considerable
stock. He also asked about the kind of
lumber that could be bought at this point
and what would be the probable price.
Mr.. Dunbar is much pleased over the
success of his article in the Sunnyside and
is very enthusiastic about Wichitas hav-
ing a casket factory. He says that Wich-
ita has large tributary territory and
that, if factory was started and we'll
managed it would grow into a large con-
Germ. He IS Of the opinion that, if the
commercial club would take up the matter
they could easily get some experienced
man to come here and open factory.

He CURES FIENDS
Barber Harry Casson Hypnot-
ICES Cigarette Smokers.
MAKES THEM VERY SICK
Number of Boys Have Been
Broken of the Habit.

Mr.. Harry Cason a barber on North
Main street has a new way for curing
the cigarette habit. He is probably one
| of the best hypnotists in the country and
cures the cigarette fends by the sugges-
ton that they will be made very sick by
smoking.
Already several young men who have
been smokers for many years have been
cured by allowing him to give them this
suggestion. One OF the peculiar points
in his method is that he does not put his
subjects fully into hypnotic state. If.
when he starts to work on a man, the
fellow is nervous, he simply takes him
by the hand in order to get him quiet
After this, he merely looks at him and
tells him what he is TO do. When he
has the subject sufficiently under his con-
troll, he tells him 10 make a cigarette and
smoke it. The fellow of course does this,
but he does not smoke very long for he
soon commences to get sick. No matter
how bad a fend anyone may be, the
cigarette will soon taste so rank that he
cannot smoke it. Nor is this all. for
as long as he remembers the suggestion
that bad taste comes back to his mouth
every time he thinks of smoking.
Last night one OF the gentlemen who
have been taking this tratment was
seen by a reporter for the Eagle and in
reply to the question as to how he felt
said: 'Cason had me sit down in a chair
and told me to make a cigarette and
smoke It, All the time was doing this
he sat looking at me. At first the Gig
arctic was all right but It soon COM
menced to have a horrible taste and
had to throw it down. Before I began to
Smoke, he told me that it would make
mo sick. and 1t surely did. Then he told
me that whenever I wanted to smoke
could do so, but 1 haven't ever wanted
to, for every time I think about 1t that
awful taste comes back and get sick.
I've been smoking for years and have
tried to quit good many times but have
never been able to do 50. I am very glad
to get rid of the habit and don't think 1
shall ever smoke another cigarette
In addition to his ability to cure the
cigarette habit, Mr.. Cason is a good
hypnotist. His friends can tell about
many incidents of his ability to influence
other peoples minds The negro boy who
works in the shop is a good subject and
Cason makes him do all kinds of queer
things. The other day he gave him a
silver dollar and told him that if he could
keep it in his pocket he could have il.
AS the boy knew what was coming, he
went to the back of the room and wrap
ped the dollar in a piece of paper, and
put it in his inside vest pocket. But
it did not stay there very long before
the boy jerked 1t out and threw it to the
other end of the room. When asked why
he didn't keep it in his pocket he said:
THAT blamed dollar got so hot that I
believe it burned hole in my vest and
couldn't keep 1t there" It Is said that
on several other occasions when the boy
would be sweeping out, he has thrown tbs
broom to the other end Of the shop with
a yell of pain. The colored boy declared
the broom handle was red hot.

BIG MARKET FAIR
Will be Held in Connection
With Race Meeting,
FIRST WEEK IN SEPTEMBER
Farmers to be Paid Handsome
Premiums on Products.

The farmers of Sedgwick county ar
60 be given chance to exhibit thei
products at the next annual race meeting
in this city, which will be means o
greater and better attractions than have
heretofore been given at the fairs here
It is generally conceded that fair with
out a show Of the products of the farm
will not attract the crowds from the
country, nor does it serve to advertise
the greatness of Sedwick county when
the fairs are conducted purely on the
attractions of the race course. Next fall
the race meeting will include one of the
finest displays Of products of the farm
ever seen in Se1gwdck county, and the
assistance Of the farmers will be enlisted
in the work. It will be in reality farm
ers' market fair.
The directors Of the fair association at
their last meeting decided to hold this
fair on Sept 4, 8, s, and 7th. The princi-
nal feature Of the market fair is for the
exhibition of the products of the farm in
two-horse wagon loads. Fuch as wheat
corn, oats, apples, potatoes ETC., upon
which the fair association guarantees the
sale and top market price. For instance,
for the best load Of hard wheat the Union
Milling company will pay the top market
price and 50 per cent above that price for
the load receiving first premium, Is per
cent above for second premium, Is per
cent above for third premium, and 10 per
cent above for fourth premium with
guarantee that they will take all other
wheat exhibited, at market value, shown
in this exhibit. All other products Will
be handled the same.
On hogs cattle, sheep, etc, the top
market price will be guaranteed with
premiums of %. Is and 10 percent added.
This kind of a fair, in the opinion of
many, the farmer sought to take to as
duck takes to water and will most likely
be a winner.
A list of prominent farmers will be
selected as vice-presidents and superin-
tendents Of different departments, which
will add greatly to its success
The association has also opened for
Sedgwick county breeders and owners,
stake for four-year-old trotters, with one
hundred dollars added money by the
association which ought to set the boys
to training their colts. The entrance
fee for those who enter their colts is on
the easy-payment plan as follows: To
those who enter April LIST, the cost will
be 500, with go cash and the balance
on June LIST; to those who enter May let,
$50 entrance fee, $500 cash and balance
June 1st: to those who enter June LIST,
the date Of the closing of the entries,
$1,000 cash. Colt must be described and
PANIED in each instance. No entry will be
held for more than Is paid in. Mile heats,
2 in g. money divided on so, 25, 10 and 10
per cent.
Il Is said that this will prove the great
est 7.ir in an agricultural way Sedgwick
county ever held, as it is fair the
farmer can attend every day, at the small
cost of 25 cents, with profit to himself
and family.
