AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.
One Of the Tricks Performed by the
FoEirs OF India.

One OF the Tricks Performed by the
Fakirs OF India.
The fakirs Of India perform some re
narkable tricks. The following one
was witnessed by On Englishman who
was himself an excellent prestidigi
tateur:
The apartment being filed, the ma
gicians began their performance. The
audience sat on the floor about the
fakirs. so that they had no way of con-
cealing themselves or Of hiding any
thing. At their request 1 examined
them and satisfied myself that they
had nothing about them. Then one of
the women stepped into the inclosure,
the rest remaining behind the spec
tators, who formed q close ring about
them. The light was now turned down
a little. and in a moment the woman's
face began to be Illuminated by a
ghostly light that extended quickly
over her entire body.
She then began to move around and
around, utter!ng O low, murmuring
sound the while, gradually quickening
the race until she was whirling about
like q top. a moment Of this, and the
light that had cluDg about her seemed
to be whirled of by centrifugal force
and assumed a pillarlike form beside
her. AS soon as this was accomplish
ed she stopped, turned and began to
mold the light with her hand, and,
though could distinctly see her hands
move through the light as If it were
cloud, It began to assume human form.
We saw the arms hands and legs all
nodded and finally the face and head
gear. She next called for light, and,
the candles being relighted, there stood
an utter stranger, native seemingly,
evolved out Of clolldland. he stepped
forward and grasled me By the hand.

After he had talked and drunk a
glass Of arrack he took his place beside

not so that we could not see and in q

SENATOR CLARK'S NEW PAPER
Montana Money Buys the Morning
Paper Of the Mormon Capital
A Quiet Deal.

William A. Clark of Montana has pur-
chased the Salt Lake Herald for $4,000
says the Salt Lake Tribune. The entire
stock OF the company has been delivered
to William Iglehart, manager Of the
paper. by c. L. Rood, administrator of
the r. C. Chambers estate. Senator
Clark's name did not appear in the tran
saction and an effort was made to con-
ceal his connection with the deal, but
the fact that the Senator was the buyer
was learned upon information from a
well known banke', who d ubtless knows
the details.
The 1000 shores of stock of the company
We're equally divided between the Cham
bers estate and A. w. McCune. Before
leaving for the east Mr.. -McCune placed
his stock in the hands of Mr.. Rood, who
secured an order from the court at Coal
vile authorizing him to dispose of the
Chambers interest to Mr.. Iglehart, and
accordingly turned over all the stock to
the latter. Mr.. Iglehart will continue
to manage the paper. 1t is stated that
the politics of the paper will continue
the same as in the past.

PEEP0SC0PE MEN IN TROUBLE
Had q Good Run With Their Illicit
Show Until Attorney Breen
Found Them Out.

While knocking about the city few
days ago, County Attorney Breen ran
into a place in which five fuil-grown
peeposcopes were in full blast. They
were gulping downnickels in elegant
style and the returns were being scrutin-
lied closely by those who had thrown the
coin into their rapacious naws. Mr.. Breen
wondered what they contained that so
greatly interested the audience. and as
soon as an opportunity offered he
changed quarter into nickels and took
few peeps himself.
Today he spent a little time drawing
an information against the proprietors of
the house, charging them with exhibiting
lewd. indecent and obscene pictures in
the peeposcopes, and with the operation
of nickel-in- the-slot machines. Pohce-
man McGlynn was with Mr.. Breen at the
time. and as soon as the latter satisfied
himself as to the nature of the exhlbl-
ton, both promptly nailed several OF
those who had just finished peepins and
will have them as witnesses.

About Oil.

The latest arrival from the oil fields

that time he has bored 125 wells under
contract. Mr.. Bartlett is an experienced
oil operator, and says there are some
profitable wells in California. The

them and dividing the profits among
themselves. It is mainly those concerns
he says, which have no oil, and prob
ably never will have any, that are SELL

may be few exceptions to this rule,
but it is Mr.. Bartlett's belief that the

for the main increase in the wheat crop.
There is every indication that the ac-
tual per acre yield, aside from all new
acreage, will be very considerably heavier.
Conditions are decidedly favorable to
an unusual crop. The grain stands heavy
and is growing rapidly, developing
strength of stalk and root. Farmers tell
me that without another rain, the mOis-
ture in the ground will carry the crops
through July. I hardly see how condi-
tons could be more promising, but there
are constant hazards such as hot winds,
hail and storms that may entirely change
the situation at any moment.
Great Northern traffic officials take the
same view. Western acreage has in
creased, they say. but the yield in old
wheat land will be exceptionally heavy.
The statement was made by an eastern
Minnesota official that the increase in
Minnesota acreage will not be important.
The yield he believed. would be all that
could be desired, should the farmers es-
cape hail. hot winds and storm. North
Dakota he thought. would raise suffi-
cient flax for the entire United States.

Big Trained Animal shows have been
before the American public. First start
ing with a few dogs and adding little bv
little, until it is today the largest ami
most successful institution of the kind
in the world. To make this show what
it is today meant perseverance ana
pluck. Norris & Rowe met many re-
verses, but with an indomitable will
power and honest business methods they
have made a fortune and name for
themselves in their particular line that
cannot be eclipsed by any amusement
institution. Always on the alert for
novel feature and desire to give their
patrons more for their money than they
can get elsewhere, they stand today IN
a field all by themselves. The present
season the show is double the size of las.
wear. and many new and novel features
have been added. A grand free spec
tacular street carnival and children
fairyland parade will be given at II
O'Clock on the morning of. the exhibition,
at which time the entire company OF
over 300 animal actors will be seen, all
decked out in their gay trappings. Do
not fail to take the little ones to see the
parade, also the performance. They Will

MERRILL WOULD TAKE STOCK
He Says He Hypothetical Some Shares
With Charles D. McLure-Wants
Them Returned.

J. NJ. Merrill of st. Louis has instituted
proceedings in the district court at Hell
ena against Charles D. Mcclure, asking
the course to order the defendant to turn
over to the plaintiff 4,500 shares of the
Granite imetallic Mining company of
this state, or show cause why he should
not do so.
According to the complaint Merrill
owned $50 shares of the stock of the BIZ
metallic company which he deposited
with Mcclure to secure the payment of a
note. Later he gave an order for 1900 of
the shares, leaving $500 in possession of
the defendant. These shares, he claims,
We're left in possession of the defendant
even after the note was paid in full.
| While the stock was in the possession
| of Mcclure, so the complaint alleges, the
B:metallic company was consolidated
with the Granite company. Merrill claims
that, under the terms of the consolda-
ton he is entitled to 4.500 shares of the
consolidated company. and he seeks to
obtain possession of them. Merrill claims
that he has repeatedly demanded the
stock from Mcclure. but has always met
with a refusal.
