interview with an Iowa land buyer
who has been investigating Missouri

missouri is the best state in the
West: you cau take Missouri and

1t Is not necessary to quote farther.
He gives himself away in the first
sentence. The poor fellow is a
republican and is dreaming Of The
time when there will be walls around
everything. And why not? II a
protective tariff is a good thing, while
MIR. Roosevelt is amending the con.

Result Of Experiments in an Enslish n
sans asylum.
In a lecture delivered before the
Kings College Medical society Dr.
Milne Bramwel GAGE an interesting
sketch Of the subject Of hypnotism,
according to the London Hospital
Describing the experiments Of Flor
el, who till recently was medical d.
rector of the Burgholi asylum and
one Of the professors of the UNIVERSE
" Of Zurich, he said that he succeed
ed in hypnotizing all his asylum at
PENDANTS, both male and female, Z,
large proportion of them becoming
profound somnambules. For ten
years experiments were made in re-
gard to the use of hypnotism in the
night watching Of dangerous luna
tics. Warders were hypnotized and
trained to sleep by the bedside Of
these patients and to awake the IN
slant they heard them attempt TO
get out of bed, the hypnotic sugges-
tion being made use Of to inhibit all
sounds, which had no reference to
the duty laid upon them, and it was
found that warders SO hypnotized
could perform night duty for six
months and work hard all day with
out showing signs Of fatigue. The
results Of these experiments were, it
is said, uniformly successful, and no
accident Of any kind occurred.
In regard to this and other appli-
cations Of hypnotism, DR.. Bramwell
refers to the method Of Wettersrand,
who, instead Of restricting himself to
suggestions made in the course Of a
short hypnotic trance, advocated the
use Of the curative effects Of pro-
longed hypnotic sleep. Wettersrand
treated epilepsy and grave forms Of
nervous disorder by keeping the pa
tients in the hypnotic trance for
three or four weeks. Without rous-
ing them the patients were fed at
stated intervals, and the action ofthe
bowels and bladder we're regulated
by suggestion, and thus mental as
well as physical rest were given, in
addition to such therapeutic adyan-
tages as might be gained by the add
suggestion.
DR.. Milne Bramwell says that, al
though everyone cannot be deeply
hypnotized, profound states are not
necessary for the successful employ
ment of suggestion, and the number
Of persons insusceptible to some de-
gree Of hypnotic influence is extreme
ly small. Among other diseases he
gives the following as those in which
hypnotism has given good results:
"Hysteria, neurasthenia, dipsomania
and other drug habits, obsessions,
moral perversities and nervous tricks
in children" We may add that, as far
as the treatment Of dipsomania is con-
cerned, it seems not entirely impos-
sible that some Of the startlingresults
which are said to have been obtained
at certain institutions for the treat
ment Of this condition may have been
the outcome Of an unacknowledged
but none the less effectual applica-
ton Of hypnotic suggestion.

While the republican papers, and
especially the Kansas City Star, are
laundering about the vigorous stand
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to take upon
the trust question in his annual
message, there is TO be noticed a little
associated press dispatch not more
than an inch long, printed under very
small head lines where it is printed
at all, announcing that the case styled
1.-The State OF Texas vs.. John D.
Rockefeller ct al" has been dismissed.
The defendants were indicted by a
grand jury Of McLennan county in
1894. Several efforts we're made to
have the Standard oil magoates
arrested, and President Roosevelt,
while governor of New York, and
later Governor Odell Of that state,
each refused to honor acquisitions for
them.

Two little Italians aged FIVE and

last week, having made the trip from
Filomina, Italy, without any attend

other language than their native

yersauOn with Siebcr Nobody paid

gun and fire four shots, whereupon
Seiber pitched forward Off his horse,
dropping his gun at the same time
Harris is said To have dismounted
and picked up Selbers weapon which
he cooked and then rode away As
none Of the cowboys were armed no
effort was made to stop him,
After riding home, Harris notified the
sheriff at Grand Junction and officers

"THE ONLY WAY"
II is Being Sought for IN Effort TO
Pay For Elks' Illumination.

A committee Of prominent Elks has
been laboring with the members Of the
finance committee OF the city council
for several days past trying to solve
the problem which has arisen in re-
gard 10 the Appropriation Of $4,000 by
the council to ay for the street ilu-
minauons during the late grand lodge
convention. The point was raised by
city Auditor Relssr that all the mon ys
I'm the general expense fund were need
ed 10 meet the appropriations already
made FOR the maintenance Of the NUM-
cipallty and hence there was no money
to pay the appropriation IN favor Of
the Elks.
As yet the bin for the street lighting
has not been presented To the auditor.
but the committee Of Elks called ola
that official In regard 20 the same and
was referred 20 the council france
committee. Regarding the distressing
financial condition OF the city and the
inability of the general expense fund
to meet the appropriation. Il was Fiv-
en- out by a member OF the council
committee that recommendaii0 lion
would be made 10 the council on Mon
day evening that the appropriation be
paid out Of the special fund provided
for the construction Of a new Jail. to
be paid 10 that fund when needed
from some other source, presumably
from the proceeds derived from the salt
of the citys real estate. as II Is only
a question of time until such sale be-
comes imperative.
II Is quite probable that the recon-
mendation Of the committee will be
concurred in and the matter disposed
OF at the meeting Monday night, and
the local lodge relieved OF that respon-
sibility without further delay.

DIFFICULTY OF SUPERVISION.

tenn.
DIFFICULTY OF SUPERVISION.
There Is IN our country q peculiar
difficulty in the way Of exercising such
supervision and control because Of the
peculiar division Of governmental pow
er. When the industrial conditions were
simple, very little control was needed
and no trouble was caused by the doubt
as to where power was lodged under The
Constitution Now conditions are com
plicated and we ind Il difficult to frame
national legislation which shall be ade-
Quate, while as matter Of practical
experience state action has proved en-
tirely insufficient and in an human
probability cannot or viii not be made
sufficient 20 meet the needs Of the case
Some of our states have excellent laws
laws which II would be wen indeed 10
have enacted by the national leglsla-
ture. But the wide differences In these
laws even between adjacent states and
the uncertainty OF tn power of enforce
ment result practically in altogether
insufficient control. ! believe that the
nation must assume this power OF con-
troll by legislation and If 1t becomes EVIL
dent that the Constitution Will not per-
nit needed legislation then by consti-
tutional amendment, The immediate
need In dealing with trusts is to place
them under the real, not nominal, con-
troll of some sovereign 10 which. as its
creature, the trusts shall owe allegiance
and in whose courts the soyereigns or
ders may with certainty be enforced,
This Is not the case with the ordinary
so-called trust today, for the trust Is
large state corporation, generally
doing business I'm other states also and
often with tendency TO monopoly such
trust Is an artificial creature not
wholly responsible to or comfortable by
any legislature, not wholly subject TO
the jurisdiction Of any one court. Some
governmental sovereign must be given
full power over these artificial and
very powerful corporation beings. In
my judgment this sovereign must be
the national government When II has
been given full power, then this full
power can be used TO control any evil
influence exactly as the government
ls now using the power conferred upon
II under the Sherman antitrust law.
Even when the full power has been
conferred il would be highly undesira-
Bile to attempt too much, or to begin
by stringent legislation, The mechan-
icism OF modern business Is as delicate
and complicated as It is vast, and moth.
ing would be more productive Of evil
10 all Of us and especially to those least
well off in this worlds goods than g-
norant meddling with this mechanism
and above all II the meddllng was
done IN spirit Of class or sectionn
rancor. 1t is desirable that this pawer
should be possessed by the nation but
II Ia quite az desirable that the power
should be exercised with moderation
and self restraint The first exercise on
that power should be the securing OF
publicity among all great corporations
doing an interstate business.
THE publicity. though non-inqulsi-
torial, should be real ana thorough as
to all important facts with which the
public has concern
