ThsLong-Lost s Secrets ofths Magic Power of the Wise Men of Old Fully and Completely Revealed ai Last.

Prof. Robertson, President of the Co., lumbia Scientific Academy of the City of New York, is an adept in the science of personal magnetism. He probably knows more about the subtle art of per- soral influence than any living man. He has just written a new, book, entitled the Secret of Power" the copyright of whi ch he has given away on condition that 2, ,000 copies of the first edition be distributed to the public absolutely free of charge. Within recent years hundreds of persons have purchased advertised courses in hypnotism for the purpose of learning how to influence others and get along in life. Hypnotism Is not personal mag netism Prof. Robertson has determined to put a stop to what he considers a his new book distributed throughout the country absolutely free of charge, thus giving all persons who really want to master the real secrets of personal mag netism an opportunity to do so.
 Prof. Robertson's book covers the power of personal magnetism. the art of fasci- nation, magnetic healing. the wonders of scientific character reading, from the hand. face. head and handwriting, scien- tilc second sight, the development of the mysterious X-Ray faculty, and Prof. Robertson's original secret method of quick physical development. It is the most comprehensive and exhaustive work on personal influence that has ever been published. It is the only book that we hxve ever seen that really starts the stu

The moment you read his instructions you can apply them, you can wield a wonderful influence over a man even a thousand miles away. This may seem incredible, but we have tested 1t for ourselves and can vouch for it's truthfulness. You can read the secret natures of people at a glance; you can cure diseases and bad habits without drugs or medicines; you win and hold friends W if by some magic, irresistible force; gain the love and affections of others; become a great social or business leaader; you can acquire wealth and tn- fluence If you will but develop your hid den powers and master natures secret laws. But do not confound Prof. Rob ertson's great work with advertised courses on hypnotism. Prof. Robertson can tell you all about hypnotic power. He knows it from A to z. But what you
 want is something that you can use with out the knowledge of anyone else, some thing that you can learn without a lot of subjects on which to practice; some thing that will develop in you that subtle.

Marketing in Russia.

An Englishman in Russia thus tells his experiences When at Simferpool 1t fell to my turn to do the marketing for our little mess. Not knowing a word of the language 1t was not an easy matter, but the inhabitants were quite interested in my work and did their best to assist me, By cackllng like a hen and growing like cock l got eggs and fowls. Mutton was simple matter. a single 'baa' being enough. Fish was the difficulty; the rno- ton of swimming with my hands puzzled the natives, but on my putting one hand behind and waving it from side to side like fish's tail, there was a dead silence for minute or two, and then with a shout of laughter one intelligent individ- ual said something in Russian and took me straight to the fish market

 Public Debt.

Jefferson City. CMo.) Special.
 The State of Missouri is free from debt. The last bonds. $4S.OOO. were paid on February 2S. Today at the capitol, in the presence of an immense crowd, these were burned. They were the last of $23, 701, 900, mostly issued in aid of railway construction. On these bonds more than $40, 100000 in principal and interest have been paid.
 The Democrats have held the Republi- cans who ruled Missouri during the re- construction period responsible for the debt and have claimed for themselves, who have been in power while the bonds were being paid, credit for lifting the debt. So when 1t came time to celebrate, invitations were limited to Democrats.
 Speeches were made by Governor Dock cry. Lieut.. Gov. Lee. Speaker Whitecot- ton, State Chairman Rothwell and other Democratic leaders, and letters from Senator CockrelI and ex-Senator Vest were read,
