Regular Physicians Fail to Rouse Girl
From Trance.

BERKELEY, Cal. Sept. 19.-To re-

during which time Il physician exerted
every effort to arouse her, and to be
finally awakened by Il Spiritualfst,
was the strange experience of Miss
Bertha Young. a young woman who is
stopping at the home of j. G. Aitken,

Miss Young tainted while witnessing
a play at an Oakland theater, and was
taken home unconscious. Physicians
were called and for a day and half
they watched over her without sue
cess AS last resort a Spiritualist was
sent for After uttering strange mean
tatiOns and making passes over the
sleeping girl. the spiritualist told her
to awaken. and to the surprise of those
who witnessed the performance Miss
Young opened her eyes.
This is the second time Miss Young
has been awakened from a trance by a

INTERESTING CONTEST PROM
ISED IN THE MORMON STATE
THIS FALL.
Anti Church Party Forming Which Is
Composed of Both Democrats
and Republicans.

W-ASHINGTON d. c.. Sept. 10
Utah promises to furnish an interest

res, according to advices received in
Washington are becoming tired of the
i. reference Of the Mormon church il
politics ana are determined to admin
ister a crushing blow to the church.
With this end in view an anti-churcn
party IS now forming. composed of
democrats as we'll as republicans. The
movement started with the republic
cans. however, and is likely to depend
most heavily on that party for its re-
Cruits. Both Utah senators are re-
publicans. but KearNs has threatened
to withdraw his support Of the repub-
lican state ticket unless he receives
assurances that MS colleague Reed
Smoot, is eliminated from Utah poll
tics.
OF course, he won't receive any such
assurance. With Kearns VIII go the
Salt Lake Tribune, the leading organ
Of the republicans of Utah, which is
largely owned by kearns. In his fight
against the Mormon church Kearns
would be more forceful bat for the
fact that at the primaries in Utah
some time since he was almost COM
pletely annihilated by the republicans
of his state and he for this reason
stands discredted at home. While Sen
atOr Kearns and the Salt Lake Tribune
both remain loyal to Roosevelt, their
boiling of the state ticket and their
fight on the Mormons is liable to so
disrupt the republican organization as
to make Utah a democratic state at
the November election. Utah's three
votes might, in a very close election,

turn the tide. and for this reason the
local fight is of general interest, aside
from the interest that attaches to any
light against the Mormon church.
If the democrats are successful at
the polls in November, Mrs. Alton b.
Parker will almost as certainly be
elected president general of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution. AL
ready there is a great deal of interest
shown in the coming national election
among the members of this patriotic
organization. This unusual circum-
stanc arises from the fact that Mrs.
Parker is charter member of the

Handwriting ON the Wall.

A manifest uneasiness prevails in
Republican circles over the present
political outlook. 1t is very natural
for the party that attributes its sue
cess in the last two campaigns to its
mercenary shibboleth of "Sound
Money" and who live, move and have
their being in an atmosphere of CON-
merciallism, to feel jealous OF the
ground they have occupied, and to
look upon the acts of all contenders
with suspicion and distrust. Chief
among these is Mr.. Roosevelt, candi-
date for the succession, who sees in
the conduct of his friends many indi.
cations that they do not care to again
buy the Presidency, when it will I'M
doubleday fall into what they regard
as safe keeping. An estimate in an
Eastern paper OF commanding thought
says that all efforts to secure an ade-
quate campaign fund, after several
weeks OF determined labor, have barely
effected a promise OF about two mil
lions Of dollars, while Mark Hanna, it
will be remembered in 1896, enlisted
ten millions in a few hours walk
through Wall street; and what is in.
fnitely worse, many of these sinews
OF warfare have gone to the common
foe. Rockefeller is said TO favor Par.
ker. aud Carnegie, who, when the gold
barons threatened TO deplete the cam
paign fund when the merger decision
was rendered, it caused that doughty
old Scotchman to exclaim. "Weel, I'll
undertak' to raise some mon myself I"
and he volunteered ten millions as a
starter. Carnegie ia said to favor
Parker, and who next in command of
barrels will roll them to the front is
becoming an exciting topic to both
parties, as we'll as the side the spigot

Still the Leader.

The opinion OF J. ID. Medill, Of the
Yakima Democrat, a delegate at ST.
Louis, expresses in detail the views OF
many onlookers at the National Con-
vention. 1t is just what John Byrne, Of
this city, who was spectator for time,
says, and what unbiased papers have
stated, that VIM. Jennings Bryan is
still the most popular and powerful
leader in the party and that his work
at st. Louis has increased rather than
diminished his influence. This is
what Mr.. Medill says, in letter to his
paper:
The so-called Reorganizers, many
of whom are leaving for their eastern
homes to-day are cursine David Bennett

while he did not control majority of
the delegates, was nevertheless the idol

crowd, it must be remembered, PLAYED
