HYPNoTIsM AND VACCINATION -
John NJ. Letsche showed theJersey City
health authorities an interesting little
experiment in hypnotism Friday. Mr.
Letche also has theory in regard to
the training of children, which he seems
to have applied to his own four hope
fuIs with good results. Mr.. Letscbe
brought his three Oldest children
Louise, aged 9years; Pearl, s, and How
ard, Ito the office OF the Jersey City
Board of Health to have them vaccinst-
ed. He put them into hypnotic sleep
and the operation was performed, caus-
Jog no pain. Mr.. Letscbe said that he
frequently hypnotized the girls when
they complained of pain and that he
relieved it by sub-conscious suggestion,
so that the experiment was neither q
novelty to the children nor to himself.

captured the Rhett Battery at Averys-

Brigade did good service that day, but It
was the Second Brigade that charged d.
rectly in front of the battery. The First
Brigade being on the left of the Second,
passed around the end of the Confederate

BILL LEWIS'S BATTERY.
The Confederate Flag Brought Down by a
Joint of stovepipe.
(Omdhd World-Herald.)

"An incident occurred in the beginning
Of the civil war that have never seen il
print, though it probably was noticed in
the journals of the day, which should no
be forgotten" writes l.. ID. Barker, Of
Pleasant Hill, Neb. ''There was a steam
boat forget the name-that was plying
the Mississippi River between st. Louis
and Omaha, the Captain of which was q
pronounced secessionist, and when not toe
near military posts gave expression to his
sentiments by flying the Confederate flag
William Lewis, an active partisan during
the war, and familiarly known as odd
Bill Lewis, noticed this, and his Union
heart swelled with Indignation at this
rank avowal Of treason at the very door
of his Atchison County home. He resolved
that on the boats next trip that flag
should be surrendered.
'1give the story of his exploit as remem-
Der it, for though personally acquainted
with him, ] never heard him relate it,
There may be those among the old settlers
who can give better version of the story.
Consulting with some of his neighbors,
they proceeded to construct cannon from
two joints Of stove'pipe and pair of wagon
wheels, and when the boat was due on her
next trip Lewis was ready with his artillery
q few miles below Hamburg, on the Mis-
souri, side of the river. Choosing a place
where the channel ran close to the bank, he
placed his cannon on one OF those sand
ridges so common along the river and about
100 yards from the shore. He so arranged it
as to show with the best military effect. vet
sheltered enough to prevent too close eX-
animation.
"AS the steamer came in view flying the
Confederate emblem, Lewis stepped proudly
down to the levee with heavy double
barreled shotgun in his hand and re-
volvers in his belt and with a stentorian
voice ordered the boat to lay up to the
bank or be blown out of the water Turn
ing to his imaginary company behind,
the two or three who stood by the cannon,
he ordered them to lie low and keep their
rifles covering the pilot.
repeating his order to the boat, the
Captain. awed by this warlike show, or
dered the pilot to lay her up to the bank,
and Lewis stepped on deck and demanded
the surrender of the Confederate flag. 1t
was promptly though reluctantly lowered
and delivered to Lewis, who denounced
their disloyalty, and warned them that if
the boat again came up the river floating
q rebel flag his cannon would send her
to the bottom Of the Missouri River And
now,' roared Lewis what are you going
to do for my boys who have let you off so
easily?' The result was that barrel of
the best Kentucky whisky was left upon
the bank, while the boat passed on up the
river with the Stars and Stripes at the
jack-staff by Lewis's command. Great was
the rejoicing about the 'Narrows,' and
many the glass drained In honor Of the
Union flag and old Bill Lewis"
