any statement In anywise regarding his
ship. The Astoria took on an anchor

The performances at Fishers opera
house last evening was very satisfac-
tory one In every way and despite the
inclemency OF the weather a fairly
large crowd were present. The sleight-
of-hand performance was very clever
and ellcited generous applause The
experiments In mental telegraphy and
hyprotlsm were both interesting and
amusing and the balloon. hunting ani
taking scenes with the hypnotic class
were greeted with roars OF laughter.
Two OF the subjects were put into
cataleptlc state with rigid muscles and
laid with heads and feet resting on
chairs. The other two were then serv-
ed in the same manner and piled on
across the first two They were so
rigid that they could be handled like
cordwood. BY special request the per-
formance will be repeated this evening
with an entire change OF program.
Oscar Lauraine. the young man, who
was so seriously injured at the Clat-
sop mills Tuesday evening has not vet
rallied from the terrible shock TO his
system and serious doubts are enter
tained as 10 whether he will recover
from the effects OF his frightful exper-
lence. The muscles Of the dislocated
shoulder are so strained and torn that
II Is not probable that he would ever
have the full use Of II in the event of
his recovery. In addition to his other
Injuries, dS IHtNliVheu Ia geoWANoS

the right leg at the knee and his hands
were badly cut and bruised. Just why
the Budget should deny the facts OF
the accident as stated yesterday morn
ing It is hard to understand as call
at the hospital, within two hundred
feet Of their building, at any time yes
terday would have convinced them of
the truth OF the facts, Whether the mo-
tive OF the Budget was to wilfully mis-
state facts or simply to attack the AS
torian or a combination of both, is not
known.
