A SPELL ON HER BOY
A Minneapolis Woman Seeks Van
SAINTS Aid Against Hypnotists.

Because her 1s-year-ol boy Claude
caught tho circus fever and eloped with
carnival company in which he played
the spectacular part OF being buried alive,
Mrs. w. F. Nettleton Of 10 Fourth ave-
nue. Sc, has asked Governor Van SAINT to
kindly protect our young men in Mime
sofa from being hypnotized and buried
alive Mrs. Nettleton says that her boy
was buried alive at Owatonna and that
when his father went to that city to get
his son the 'hypnotist refused to take the
boy out Of his temporary grave Mrs
Nettleton made scene at st. James and
secured possession of the boy. Not hav-
ing in mind habeas corpus proceedings,
she informs the governor that the law,
ordinarily, Is apparently powerless to In
terfere.
Mrs. Nettleton inclosed one Of the hyp-
notfst's handbills, in which his act is
thus described: "a subject Is placed un-
der hypnotic influence in the open air,
free, before the public on the first day
OF the exhibition. The subject is then
placed in coffin and buried alive under
six feet Of sod, there remaining night and
day until the last day. AT any time
wished he is disinterred and the hypnotic
spell removed"

MORE RAIN NEEDED
The Governments Report as to the
Red River Valley.

The Minnesota climate and crop SER
vice bulletin for the week ending yester-
day is summarized as follows:
The temperatures were moderately high early
in the week but considerably lower towards its
close. There were showers in the south and
southwest on the 17th 18th and 10th, which were
locally heavy in southwestern counties; there
were light local showers In northern portions on
the Goth.
In the Red river valley there was temporary
benefit to the crops from the showers, but more
rain is needed, especially for the OATS barley and
fax seeded on the spring plowed lands, and for
pastures and forage crops. The wheat and oats
on the fall plowed lands seen to be standing
the dry weather fairly we'll.
In the southwest the rains were heavy enough
to food some Of the low lands again, and to delay
the cultivation of corn and pota toes; in other
parts Of the south the wheat, oats. barley, fax,
corn and potatoes on high lands were benefited,
and there was benefit also on the recently flooded
lands which were becoming dry and baked. Early
barley is heading; rye is filing nicely; oats do
not look we'll in some places; wheat Is generally
good, except that little rust Is reported in
Redwood county; fine clover crop Is being cut;
timothy is coming into bloom; corn is backward
because the weather has not been continuously
warm enough for corn growth; fax is generally
doing we'll, tho much Of the haK was seeded
on low lands which have suffered from excess Of
moisture. A good strawberry crop Is being gath.

A UNIQUE CANOE CRUISE
A Party Paddles From Deephaven
to Minnehaha Falls-13O
Barbwire Portages.

A cruise from Deephaven to Minnehaha
falls is not one often undertaken, but it
yields a large amount of experience and
geological knowledge as we'll as a. liberal
amount Of vigorous exercise. All of this
can be testified to by H. J. Burton, Ward
Burton and Miss Ariel Burton, but their
information is likely to be exclusive, for
there is no record, of anyone else having
made the trip since the days when water
ways were the best avenues of locomo-
ton.
The Burton party made the trip a few
days ago, starting from Deephaven in u
canoe at dawn. Most people will need to
be told their route, which was thru Way
zata and Gray's bay, the outlet being at
Groveland park. The trip occupied just
twelve. hours and the distance covered is
problematical. There were 100 portages.
most of them over barb wire fences, for
practically all Of the meadows are fenced
and the stream meanders thru meadows
nearly its whole length. Mr.. Burton re-
ports that he saw In the course of the
journey all the COWS in Hennepin coun-
ty, and was greatly surprised at their
number.

SEWER REBATE PROBLEM
Council Committees Consider Case I
Which Assessments Were Raised
by Citv Enolneer L..

joint meeting of the council committees on
sewers and taxes was held yesterday to consider
the petition of G. A. Nimocks for rebate Of a
portion Of the sewer taxes on Twenty-seventh
street from Irving to Hennepin. Mr.. Nimocks
represents many property owners.
This Is the case in which the original assess
ments, levied by the council, were raised in
the city engineers office after the district court
had decided that a uniform tax for sewers
was illegal and that the council could only
assess the actual cost. The city engineer pre-
sumably construed the decision to mean that
wherever the uniform rate had been lower than
the actual cost 1t was his duty to make an
increase to cover the difference.
Frank Healy, city attorney, says that the in.
crease Is illegal. The aldermen are unwilling
to annul any more taxes, however as they have
been pretty sharply criticized of late, and the
matter has been left open for time -

cALP ABSORBS A TWO.FOOT SNAKE.
The Animal Swallows and Discharges The
Reptile Without Injury to the Former
But Kills the Latter

The most remarkable case on record
and we think the only one in which
calf swallows a twO-fOOt snake without
injury to the aLImal and death to the
reptile, il reported from Strouptown.
The calf is owned by susan Diehl Of
Strouptown, this county, and ia now
only ten weeks old. The calf was kept
in the stable aud nourished entirely ON
milk. 1t was getting along remarka-
bly, well until about week ago, il did
not seem to care for nourishment and
was not very promising case. Mrs.
Diehl could not imagine what was
wrong with the animal. Imagine her
surprise the other day when the calf
discharged a snake a inches long in "a
decCmposed state.
After the reptile had been discharged
the calf began taking nourishment
with the usual. avidity and ir now
seems to he all right. This story il not
to be confused with the usual snake
stories, but is properly verified by r.
,. Stroup, Postmaster and merchant of
Strouptown, whose veracity no one has
any occasion to doubt.
