ARREST OF HYPNOTIST
Complaints Filed Which Call Forth
 Vigorous Protest.

Professor Fait, the hypnotist, was ar rested yesterday for maintaining, or, rather, creating nuisance. The pretty young lady who was sleeping the sleep of the restless in Doris &; Heyman's display window under the hypnotic influence of the professor was the supposed nuisance, but the young lady disclaims the title. and if the evidence of a "rubbering" crowd may be taken for anything. she was far more of an attraction than nuisance.
 Eugene Brown swore to the two complaints which caused the arrest of the hypnotist. They were issued by Justice Robertson and the warrants served by Constable Kyle. The pro-. lessor was taken into custody and is to appear before the justice at 10 o'clock this morning.
 In the first of the complaints it is charged that Professor Faits did twill fully and unlawfuIly take, receive, hire, employ and use and have in his GUS tody a child, used for public exhibition, in wandering business and employ ment, contrary to public decency and good morals"
 In the second complaint it is alleged that the professor did 'wilfully and unlawfully maintain and commit a public nuisance in Phoenix, Arizona at Nos. 9 to 2s West Washington street, offensive to the senses of the public and annoying to the feelings of the cit izens of the community
 Beth complaints relate to the pres enee in the professors company of Miss Minnie Foster, a young lady who comes from Red Bluff, California. Ii is said that a reporter of the yellow

ADJUSTMENTS

The crowd at the Doris theater last evening to witness the performance given by Professor Faits, the hypnot- ist. was the largest of the week, and the audience was apparently very well pleased with the exhibition. The young lady, who had been placed in a restless hypnotic sleep in a display window, of a downtown store, was carried upon the stage and previous to her awakening Drs. Plath, Foss and Dameron examined her condition to ascertain if she had suffered any no- ticeable injury from the enforced sleep. and they informed the audience that no injury was apparent. The doctors later acted as subjects to as- sist the professor, who was blindfolded In locating certain persons in the audi ence. The professor will continue hi: performances at the theater the rest ot the week, with a matinee Saturday aft ernoon.

 Professor Faits styled 1t as an out rage. and said he had given the same exhibition in over 200 towns in the United States and never before been nolested. As to there being anything improper in the public exhibition, bs saws the same exhibition is given by nearl yevery travelling hypnotist, and nearly every travelling hypnotist, and them being called to task for it.

 John Henry Is new to Arizona and 10 the ways of Phoenixonians. He had read of holdups and perhaps believed Phoenix was a bad place.

EASTERN CONGRESSMAN
The Impression He Gave Out of the
 Salt River Valley.

The Republican yesterday morning received the following clipping from the Lewiston (Mass) Journal
 Representative Hummer has stayed over night In Arizona. He told the legislators that Phoenix is in a salt valley, where land is not worth over 2 cents an acre. All the animals that roam that region are bob-tailed rah- bits and rattlesnakes. While he wa-i there he boarded with an undertaker who sold three coffins a day, showing that people die in Arizona as well as elsewhere. The population is 50 per cent Mexican. Indian and half-breed You meet on the street a man with q heavy overcoat and a fur cap, while beside him is another man in overalls and a cotton shirt, he said.'
 It was sent by Miss Grace Byers, a young lady living at Congress, and was accompanied by the following let ter:

 Dear Sir-Being a reader of the Re publican. I take the liberty to send you this clipping from a Lewiston (Mass) paper. I do wish you would print it and let the people know what rank injustices are done to Phoenix and the rest of Salt River valley
 Although I am a Hoosier, I have spent two winters in Phoenix, and found the climate delightful and the Inhabitants congenial and refined, and wish to see Arizona get it's just dues

UNIVERSITY MONTHLY
The Current Number Is Perhaps the
 Best.

The University of Arizona Monthly gets better and better and handsomer and handsomer as the months go by. The March number of the magazine was received at this office yesterday and in surpasses in appearance and III excellence of matter any of the prev ious magazines of the six volumes ana four numbers. The business men, not only of Tucson, but of other towns CT the territory are showing a commend able appreciation of the growing excel lence of the monthly.
 The leading article of the March number is 'The Field Excursion of the Mining Glass;" with which the read CTS of The Republican are already familiar by reason of the series of let ters published in this paper from time to time by cne of the members of the class during the tour. There is a good selection of short stories, poems and miscellaneous matter. The most interesting feature for those who are keeping track of the daily life of the university is the collection of the events of the school for the past month. the work of the literary socie- ties, the movements of the students and the members cf the faculty and the alumni notes.
 Considerable space is devoted to the forthcoming forensic contest with the Tempe normal and the athletic pros- poets of the university teams as we'll as the progress made in military de- velopment.

 Surely few words from this remarka- ble old gentleman, who has had IA years of experience to draw from, would be interesting as well as profitable. A lengthy biographical sketch is given of this remarkable old man in the Waco Times-Herald, December 4, 1898.
