The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1902-12-05

In conpaotion with the suicide of a
young woman in San Francisco, the
startling charge is made that she was
driven to the act by suggestion, says
the Tacoma Ledger. The malign in
fiuence is said to have been exercised
by the man who ought to have been
her husband. but who seems not TO
have been. II there is any basis for
the charge, the producing of the proof
would be most difficult. There can
be no doubt that both men and women
have been driven 10 suicide by reason
Of brutality, and yet the dsed in itself
must be rated as voluntary. II hus-
band we've to snaeriusly advise his wife
that she had better kill herself, there
might be aroused within her the desire
to do so as a method of Furnishing the
brute. At the same time, however
much he might oe morally condemned,
there appears no written law naming a
penalty. The explanation of this case
is meagre. What is meant by "sug-
gestion"? The study of psychological
phenomena during recent years has
given TO the term technical signii-
csnce. rhe hypnotist controls his sub
jeci by suggestion A doctor assists
his patient BY suggestion. The ex-
tent to which this peculiar power can
be used has been shown in many ways
some VI them sinister. There is hard
ly doubt but innocent people have
been urged to wrongful courses, and
have yielded, when had they been free
to exercise their own judgment they
would have spurned with horror the
~,hey seemed eager TO
grasp. That hypnotism presents grim
does not need to be proved
anew. Some people under the spell it
imposes will do anything they are In
structcd to do. They would without
leap into the river or throw
the baby into the CRATE. All they
would need would be the suggestion. |
From the experiments made, the fact
seems clear that the plastic mind can
be recast at the option Of the stronger
one. That murders have been COM
mitted by persons virtually in trance |
there is no reason for doubling. That
suicide might be committed from SINH
lar causes is a fair conclusion. The |
person under hypnosis could not make |
this plea and convince a jury. ,
Neither could the person really guilty
be readily convicted or even arraigned.
The plea of the prisoner would have to
be that of insanity, and then might be
accented,

be offered by the state. The present
situation was discussed at length.
1t Is argued that $4,000 will insure
the best efforts of officers and detec-
tives to discover the murderer and
that the money will be well spent in
case of success. The popular opinion
Is that Manager Collins was murdered
by hired assassin and that in appre-
hending him the instigators of the
crime will be found
movement is on foot for the rais-
ing of $4,000 by popular subscription,
to be added to the general reward. The
Smuggler-union company, 1t Is expect
ed. will offer $4,000.
The aggregate reward of $4,000 for
the body of Wesley L. Smith, who
'mysteriously disappeared" still
stands.
Many rumors are afloat regarding
the closing of all the mines Jacob Fill
lius. general counsel for the Smuggler
company, said that the mine was shut
down out of respect to the dead man
ager, notices having been posted this
morning to that effect. As to the
length of cessation of work, Mr. Fill
lius says that no one knows its prob

company is held to determine upon the
policy in the matter.
| No clew to the assassin has yet
been discovered. Some few individ-
uals have made remarks and are being
closely watched to see of any clew may
| be found.
The threatening letters received by
Manager Collins were similar to those
received by other managers and SUI
perintendents of this district. What
effect the assassination of Mr.. Collins
will have upon their actions remain to

prepared announcement from the
bench"
The move, one of the most import
ant in the whole history of the coal
strike, created mild sensation when
it became known. The surprise was
all the greater from the fact that num-
erous persons. from the President OF
the United States down. and many Or
ganizations, from the National Civic
Federation to the small boards of trade
of the small mining towns, had failed
to bring the two parties together. 1t
was all brought about by both sides
seeing that the proceedings before the
commission would be interminable and
in the intermingling of the lawyers
for both sides the outside agreement
proposition was broached and taken
up.
Wayne MacVeagh, who carried On
such a brilliant cross-examination of
President Mitchell is given credit for
bringing about the present situation.
He went to New York after he had
finished with Mr.. Mitchell, and had a
conference with certain persons con-
nected with the coal industry, among
them, it is rumored. j. P. Morgan. He
was in New York to-day in connection
with the matter.
In order to give all parties an op-
portunity to confer on the state of af-
fairs an adjournment was taken until
tomorrow morning. 1t is probable
that suggestion for a week or ten
days adjournment will be adopted.
All the large companies have not
yet assented to the proposed outside
agreement, but in all probability they
will consent to work as unit, as they
did during the strike.

THE BLOOD.

The blood is life. We derive from
the blood life. power. beauty and rea-
son. as the doctors have been saying
from time immemorial. A healthy
body, D fresh appearance, and gener-
ally all she abilities we possess de-
pend on that source of life. 1t is
therefore the duty of every sensible
man to keep the blood as pure and
normal as possible. Nature. in its
Infinite wisdom, has given us a ther-
mometer indicating the state of the
blood. which appeals to our reason by
giving notice of its impurity Small
eruptions of the skin. to which we
scarcely pay any attention. headache,
ringing noises in the ears. lassitude,
sleeplessness, are generally a sign
that the blood is not in its normal
state. but is filled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve
our full attention. II more attention
we're paid to those symptoms, and
steps taken to remove them, then
many illnesses from which we suffer
would become unknown and the hui
man body would become stronger and
bealthier. Attention therefore should
paid to those warning signs. and
the blood can be purified and poison.

use Of DR.. August Koen!g's Hamburg

center of strength was the soft coal

roads traversing the region between the
Ohio river and the Lakes. Amongst the
more general considerations which af-
fected the market was a hope that the
December disbursements of interest and
dividends. which are estimated at about

money market. Actual quotations for

December disbursements, and time mon
