afford outings, send their children to

There are several matters to be con-

close contact with the moist earth

will force away the soil and allow the

Hvpnotlsm for Drunkenness.

DR.. Forbes Winslow, in an address
delivered last night before the mem
bers of the Psyche Therapeutic Socie-
ty, advocated the treatment of inebri-
ETY. by suggestion.\ He said that
years ago the idea that medical men
should use hypnotlsm in the cure Of
disease would cause members Of the
old school to shudder in their shoes,
but public feeling was turning round,
and they did not now regard those
who practiced hypnotism as charla-
tans but as scientists. The treatment
was suitable in a great many cases,
but unsuitable in others. 1t was often
effective in cases Of hereditary drunk
enness, but was not much good in
cases where people suffered from Sc
we're brain disease and took alcohol
as the effect and not the cause. In
many cases of chronic alcoholism
hypnotic treatment should be tried be-
fore people were sent to inebriate
homes. In treating these people it
was necessary to suggest to their sub
jective and unconscious mind that
they must take a dislike to alcohol,
or that its action would be that of an
emetic. The lecturer illustrated his
meaning by hypnotizing a male medi-
um upon whom he said he had prac-
ticed in this way during the past ten
years. With one wave of the hand
the man entered a state of trance,
and then drank some water which he
believed to be whiskey and which he
was told TO dislike. The mans facial
expression when he attempted to obey
what seemed to him a repulsive re-
quest was quite startling

Opposing the Attitude of
the United States.
lSTHMUS TRAFFIC OPENED

Washington, Nov. 10.-It was learned

Of American and the United States OF
Colombia.
The state department has the protest
under serious consideration, but the ma
ture Of it's reply, if any, or the time
when it will be made is not known.
Other than admitting that such a doc
ument had been filed in the state de-
partment the officials there will say
nothing about the matter.

Of the arrival Of the United States
cruiser Boston at Panama. Command

Berlin Newspaper SEQ the LAND Of tho
United States at Work.
Berlin, Nov. 10.-Respons. ole opinion
In Germany regarding Panama is prob
ably expressed as well in the following,
from the Berlin Frankfurter Ze1tung,
as from any newspaper:
What role the washington government
played In the incidents in Colombia no.
body can know. Nothing can be proved
MED from Washington that the govern
ment Of the United States supported the
movement for the separation of the 18th
mus. However, that may be. 1t Is not
striking nor does it give occasion for
special excitement that a great, mighty
state will not permit itself to be thwart-
ed in Its civilizing work through the stub
bornness Of a land three-fourths barbar-
GUS.
The theory as to the u of the rev.
olution which is currently accepted here
Is that the United States brought it
about with the object Of building the
interoceanic canal.
The Berlin Vossiche Ze1tung, In TAX
ing this view, says:
The reason why the president waited
two months after Colombia rejected the
treaty without negotiating with Nicaragua
Is now clear-the United States was find
ing an effective way of attaining Its ends
by working behind the scenes.

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.
From Indications Both Must Have
Been Clear Cases of Suicide,

Been Clear Cases of Suicide.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 1.-Two sudden
deaths, one which is a clear case of sui
eide and the other bearing every indica-
ton of having been suicide also, shocked
the people of Sioux Falls this morning.
DR., Esbert George, aged over SO years,
who made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. w. G. Dockstader, was found dead
In his room this morning: Contrary to his
usual custom, the door to his room was
closed. The gas jet was found turned on,
indicating that he had turned on the gas
and closed the door with the deliberate
intention of ending his life. w. C. Dock
stader had returned from an eastern trip
on the carly morning train, and had been
home only a short time when the old mans
body was discovered. He aided his grief
stricken wife to care for the body of her
father and to summon ncighbors, when
he remarked he would go into the base
ment and care for the furnace. His pro-
lonCed absence caused search to be made
for him, which resulted in finding his dead
body in the basement. He had killed him.
self with a revolver. The bullet was fired
into his head, entering under the chin.
Grief at the death of the old man and
his own misfortunes are supposed to AVE
been the reasons for his taking his life.

FOUND, TWO SKELETONS.
Workmen Unearth a Grewsome Sight
While Grading Down a Lot.

Sioux Falls, S.. D., Nov. 1I.-Workmen
while grading down a lot situated on a
hill in the northern portion Of Sioux Falls
unearthed two skeletons, which there is
every reason to believe are those Of an
Indian man and woman. The skull OF
the man Is perfect. 1t contains q fun set
of teeth, which are so well preserved that
the enamel is not even worn off. Around
the neck of the man was a string of orna-
ments, composed of the claws Of eagles,
bears, wolves and other wild animals.
These are also well preserved.
The ground surrounding the spot where
the skeletons were found indicates that
q square hole was dug and the man and
woman buried in a sitting or crouching
posture. In the lap of the man was some
decayed material which looked as If 1t
might once have been paper. Two long
arrows lay across 1t. On top of these and
between the skull and the knees was a
large piece Of flint rock.
The skeletons were found only about
four feet beneath the surafce of the
ground. The largest skeleton. which is
thought TO be that of the man, was, as
stated, in a fair state of preservation.
The other crumbled when exposed to the
air.
AS they were discovered at n point
where the virgin soil of the prairie was
only removed last spring, it is believed
they had been buried for many years,
doubtless before tho advent of the white
man in his region.

RIVALS FIGHT DUEL.
Carving Set Used as Weapons, Contes,
Only Ending When Ono Is
Fatally Wounded.

New York. Nov. 11.Locked in the din
ing room of their boarding house in
Perth Amboy, Stephen Condos and
Peter Shylak fought a duel that ended
only when Condos fell to the floor
dying. The men had been on unfriend-
ly terms for some time. 1t is said they
were in love with the same woman.
Shylak entered the dining room at meal
time and met his rival. Locking the
door, he yelled: 'Gondes, I'm going to-
kill you or you must kill mel" Then
selling a carving knife he rushed at
Condos. Condos was unarmed and be-
fore he could defend himself Shylak
had cut him twice. Then he seized a
fork and the men fought until Condos
sank tt the floor, stabbed in stomach
and chest. Stepping over him Shylak
opened the door and sought to escape.
On the stairway he was confronted by
q policeman who made him a prisoner
after another desperate struggle.
