Robbers at MAMA.

Expert safe robbers visited Miami
Tuesday night and blew open the safe
at the ~postofice, securing only a few
dollars in stamps and money. They
then attempted to rob the Miami Saw
ings Bank but failed to get into gthe
safe, although they entered the vault
and carried off a number of private
boxes and papers.
Among these boxes was one belong
ing to the p~os.o6ice. This contained
about five hundred dollars in money
and stamps.
The work was certainly that of ex-
perts. They evidently used nitro
glYcerine as an explosive to blow the
door off of the posto6ice safe and to
gain admitiance to the bank vault.
The safe was ruined, as was the door
to the vault.

RYpnOtIsm Employed to Obtain Coz

HYpnOtism Employed to Obtain Coz
LESSONS from Criminals.
There seems to he a wide spread
difference Of opinion among the various
schools Of psychic research as to the
power of suggestion when employed to
obtain confessions from The various
types of criminals.
Numerous accounts have been given
OF experiments made by two leading
%hypnotists, Elmer E. aud A. Beatrice
Knowles, in which il would appear
that they have been the first Of the
various opponents of occult sciences to
accomplish this end. Writers on thin4s
occult have always maintained that
while the subjective mind is in that
peculiar receptive state during hypns-
sis) it will accept as a realty any sDg.
gestions that are not contrary TO the
natural disposition or will of the sub
jeet, bat The above operators advanse
the theory that many criminals hare
an inward desire TO confess, but as
''selt preservation Is the first law Of
nature, - the horrible picture of Ne
gallows or lbe penitentiary inlerferss,
thus preventing a confession in maAy
cases. "What we attempt by sugs,s-
tion, y says Mr.. Knowles in a book en-
titled Complete Explanation of Hyp-
notlsm, Suggestion and Allied Phs-
nomena' is to arouse the sympatheic
nature of n supposed criminal, gain has
confidence aud inculcate in his mad
the belief that the leniency of the jury,
in the event OF confession will iuseafv

such cases aroused the antagonism Of

opmeni OF a science, the possibilities Of

A Lost Man.

A report has just been received
from near Waxahachie creek to the
effect that "A farmer was lost in his
bottom land cotton field. 1t seems
that he went out yesterday after
noon to investigate the prospects Of

for supper. His family became
alarmed and notified the neighbors,
who left at once in search of the un-
fortunate fellow.
AS yet nothing has been heard
from him, however, some of the
searchers have returned and report
the wonderful discovery of the fact
that the cotton is growing faster
than the worms can crawl up the
stalk; hence, the worm damage will
be light this ll.-Euuis News,
