WITCHCRAFT EXISTS
SAYS A PROFESSOR.
Chicago University Students Are
Told That Many Persons Are
Possessed of Devils.

CHICAGO, Ill, July 29.-That the
illness of many persons is due to be-
ing possessed OF devils, and that
witchcraft is not a myth, but an
alarmingly increasing reality, is the
belief of Professor Herbert L. Stet-
son, Of Kalamazoo College, as ex-
pressed in a lecture before divinity
students in the summer school, Uni
versity of Chicago. Professor Stet-
son quoted from books on psychology,
hypnotism, occult science, making
special use of extracts on hallucina-
lions, partial insanity and Mysteries.
MANY persons are ruled by person
alities other than their own said
the professor. 1t is impossible for
these victims to disenthrall them
selves. They grow away from their
own selves by sheer force Of sinister
and occult influences over which they
have no control. This kind of witch
craft has reached dangerous proper
lions, and it is one of the most impor-
tant problems with which science has
to deal to-day. These possessions
Of demons will never cease until
mankind comes to perfect conditions

SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1904

RAMPARr is spoken of by ex- changes as ''the old reliabl camp" The impression prevails and right ly-that this district is hardly scratched. Many are now bound for this place, and it is certain that the Fairbanks overflow will make for Rampant this fall. We have plenty of room for good hustlers: men who are miners and will take a chance.
Alaska forum., 1904-05-28

THE cor viction of white man few days ago by jury for the crime of giving liquor to an Indian demonstrates that Rampant juries are yet dependable. It is a strange thing that despite the punishment imposed men will continue to vio- late this law. Should congress make this form of crime a felony instead of misdemeanor, 1t would be step in the right direction.
Alaska forum., 1904-05-28

THE bill providing an elective delegate from Alaska passed the house April 25. Should the senate act as promptly the Hon. James Wickersham will be ably champi- oning Alaska at the next congress.

MISSING MEN WANTED


 state department at Washington has caused inquiries to be made through the office of tue governor of Alaska regarding the fate or where abouts of Albert Won Temmen. He is g years old. height 5H feet, hair i light, and is rather stout. When last heard from in December, 1903, he was at Teller, Alaska, where he has lived for about tour years en- gagged in prospecting. Any infor- nation in regard to MT. Temmen' whereabouts will be thank fully re- ceived. Alaska papers please copy.
 Miss Mary K. Black, No. 353 Fast Forty-6rst street, Chicago, Ill.,, is very desirous of obtaining any information regarding the whereabouts in Alaska of her fa- ther, David s. Black. He was large man, about 6 years old at the time he left for Alaska in 1000. He is nearly 6 feet tall. weighs about 200 pounds, had full beard and mustache, somewhat bald, blue eyes. The last known of him he was cribbing at Nome during the summer of 1900. He was formerly a resident of St. Paul, Minn. Alas ka and Seattle papers please copy.
 AROUND AND ABOUT
 District Attorney N. V. Harlan, Clerk Hejlig and Marshal Perry left Eagle yesterday on the Rock Island for Fairbanks.
 Bowen & Cooil are enjoying a short visit to town preparatory to commencing summer work on Lit tie Minook Jr.
 A. H. Chapman and two others will leave shortly for a summers prospecting trip 10 Quail creek. A better locality would be- hard to find.
Alaska forum., 1904-05-28

FROM all sources the reports of a big rush into the Fairbanks country continue to- come in. There will probably be 10000 peo. pie in that district before suow fies.. While the cleanups this spring are not as great as expected, no doubt the scarcity of provisions had the effect of hampering the hoisting of dumps.

JURY OUT az HOURS.
No Verdict in the Gillespie Murder
Trial, the Jury Disaqreeinq.

Rising Sun, Ind, May 30.-After de-
liberating AZ hours without coming to
an agreement, Judge Downey on
Sunday discharged the jury in the
Gillespie case. When the jury was
brought into the court room Judge
Downey asked them whether there
was any probability of agreeing on "a
verdict and every one of the IL men
shook their heads in the negative
Judge Downey then thanked them
and dismissed them from further
service.
Prosecutor McMullen said that the.
state would oppose any effort on the
part of the defense to release James,
Gillespie and stated that the case
would come up again next September
AT the present time the four de-
PENDANTS are in the same position as
they were before the trial began, as
the bonds of those released from
custody are continuous.
Whether or not the defense will
elect to be tried separately, or jointly,
as on this trial, the future will deter
mine.
1t is said that a motion will be
made before Judge Downey to release
James Gillespie from custody and de-
clare him acquitted. In the event
that this motion is overruled the de-
fense will ask that James Gillespie be
admitted to bail along with the other
three defendants. Should the writ of
habeas corpus be denied by Judge
Downey the matter will be taken TO
the supreme court of the state.

RUSSIANS DOUBT DEFEAT.

st Petersburg, May S1.-The re-
ported defeat of Cossacks at All
Yang -Pien-Men was the only news
and almost the only topic of CONVEX
satien here last night. No official dis
patches were given out, but officers
at military headquarters were reluc-
tant to accept the japanese dis
patches. They think 1t possible that
the Japanese met Gen. Mistchenko's g
command, which has recently been
raiding in Korea. 1t is formed of
comparatively raw recruits. though
now somewhat hardened by three
months campaigning.
1t is conceivable that they might
have been defeated, but not Rennen-
kampf's force patroIling the Ai-Yang
region, who are veterans of that old
command which accompanied him OF
the famous ride through Manchuria.
According to information received
from high source, important news
regarding the Japanese plan of cam
phign which has reached the Russian
authorities since the battle of Kin
Chou compels the conviction that the
advance of Gen. Kuroli and the activ-
ity of his scouts northwest and south
west of Feng- Wang -Cheng are parts
of well executed feint to prevent
Gen. Kuropatkin from detaching a
strong force to hamper Gen. Oku's
operations on the Lao -Tung penin-
Sula.

Military Week at the Fair.

st. Louis. May 31.-The first day of
military week at the worlds fair was
rendered disagreeable by torrential
rain that fell during the afternoon.
Soldiers and cadets marched in the
pouring rain and the plaza of st.
Louis was thronged by thousands who
cheered and waved umbrellas, appar-
emily unmindful of the downpour
More than 5000 military and quasi
military men passed in review before
Maj. Gen. John c. Bates and Presi-
dent d. r. Francis. After the parade
Decoration day exercises were held
In Festival hall.
