APPEALS TO THE
american people
President Marroquin Says "National
Conscience" Should Prevent
Our Aiding Panama.
Says Proceedings of Marines ana
Minister on Isthmus in Open Nio-
latiOn of Treaty, Which Binds
United States to Respect soVer-
eighty of Colombia.

Bogota. Colombia, Nov. 23.-Presi-
dent Marroquin, of Colombia, has mace
the following appeal to the American
people,:
THE Colombian nation has just been
the victim Of unexpected agrees
sion and is in danger of losing the best
part of it's territory. A military move
ment, not popular sentiment, was the
origin of the proclamation of the in
dependence Of Panama.
THE American government, which
always had been held by Colombia to
be it's best friend and ally, prevented
with marines loyal militia from sub
jugating the traitors and checking the
origin of the INSTRUMENTATION
Says Treaty Was Violated.
THE solemn treaty between Colon
ba and the United States, alluded to
until the last moment by the American
government, binds the United States
not only to respect the sovereignty
and ownership of the Panama isthmus
by Colombia, but to help the latter
maintain them. The proceeding of the
United States marines on the isthmus
and of the American minister here are
in open violation of that treaty.
1.-THE traditions of that great nation
the United States, as mighty defend
err of rights and bearer of the standard
of civilization before the world, always
have been opposed to the secession OF
territories and the dismembering OF
nations Nonrecognition Of the confed-
crate states during the civil war con-
firms emphatically the application OF
this doctrine decisively at critical mo-
ments.
Appeals to American People.
1.-THE American people will not per-
init, am sure, violation Of public
treaties, thus denying their glorious
traditions, in order to obtain by force
what Colombia is ready to concede
through pacific and equitable ways.
Colombia heartily wishes to strengthen
the ties of friendship and commerce
with the United States and give vigor-
GUS impulse 10 the common interests
and to the greater power and glory OF
her older sister republic
1.-The Colombian people, tranquil In
the strength of right and being sure OF
the sentiment Of justice and equity OF
the American people. appeal to the ma
tional conscience Of the United States,
which conscience constitutes a force
superior by far to that OF an army and
navy. in order to save the honor and
integrity Of our navy.

HypnOtisnn.

According to Charcot of the school
Of the Salpetriere. hypnotism is an arti-
fetal neurosis and can be produced
with hysterical persons only. 1t can
be applied but rarely. the dangers of
hypnotism being greater than its nd
vantages because it may bring to life
The latent hysteria and unbalance the

assert the contrary-that nothing can
be more erroneous than the above men
soned supposition: that every person
s more or less suggestible. and that no
harm or inconvenience whatever re-
suits from hypnotization. provided the
suggestive method be used. The Nancy
school defines hypnotism as a physio-
logical state closely allied TO sleep. in
which the suggestibility Of a person is
greatly exalted. It bases hypnotism
and its therapeutic action entirely on

CHAMBERS PEOPLE HOPEFUL
Have waited Long for a Railroad and
Now Expect Two of
Them.

CHAMBERS, Neb., May 3.-(Special)-
The people of Chambers, who have been
waiting so long for a railroad, now have
strong hopes that their expectations will
soon be realized and that they will not only
have one railroad but two of the great
railroad systems Of the country will form
a junction at this point. On Thursday of
last week a delegation from this place went
to O'Neill, where they were met by d. S.
Steel, general superintendent Of the Great
Northern; Fred Rogers, general passenger
agent; z. L. Brown, assistant general sup
erintendent; c. ]. Bowen, roadmaster, and
T. Roup, general master mechanic. .
1t is understood that these gentlemen
visited O'Neill with a view Of getting in
formation about the best route to extend
the line of the Great Northern from O'Neill
west to some point connecting with the
Burlington. 1t is also said that the
Chambers delegation convinced the GENTLE
men that 1t would be to the interest Of their
road to build south from o'Neill to Cham
bers and from here west to Dunnlng, which
will give the Great Northern, in connection
with the Burlington, a direct route from
st. Paul, Minneapolis and SioNx City to
the Black Hills, Denver and the west.
1t is also understood that in connection
with the extension Of the Great Northern
the Burlington will at the sam time ex-
tend its line from Ericsson to this place to
form a junction with the Great Northern.
These facts explain the recent visit Of
the Burlington right of way man, who,
during the month of April made a close in
spection OF the proposed routes north from
Burwell and Ericsson and as the connection
can be made from Ericsson by constructing
only thirty miles OF new road it is re-
ported here that the extension was found
to be the most feasible route.
The Burlington extension from Ericsson
will open up as good a territory of public
land as can be found in Nebraska, as sew
eral miles of the route will be built over
public lands and with the vast number of
settlers locating in Wheeler and Garfield
counties, will furnish a large volume Of
business for the new roads.
That this country is settling up rapidly
is shown by the fact that over 10, 900 acres
Of public lands were filed on at the O'Neill
land office by homesteaders, during the
month Of April just closed and land buyers
are visiting this locality every day.
The old survey of the Burlington north
from Ericsson, on which it is expected the
new road will be built, runs very close to
the county line all the way between
Wheeler and Garfield counties.
1t is quite probable that there will be
one new town between this place and
o'Neill and two new towns between here
and Ericsson, while there will be room for
several towns from here to Dunning. The
old settlers Of this place, who have been
waiting so long for q railroad and have
always had faith that a road would sooner
or later build into such good territory as
this, are now Jubilant over the prospects
of having their hopes realized.

fourth inning, with the score standing two

With the exception of these two innings
the game was a fast one and replete with
sensational playing that brought the grand
stand to its feet. In the second inning
Shafstal gained the displeasure Of the fans
for running into Lumley on the first base
