A CURE BY SUGGESTION
HOW A MOTHERS LOVE RESTOR
ED HER BOY TO HEALTH.
By Constant Attention She Indu ced
Him to Breathe and Then walk
Saved Him from Idiocy.

Substituting for the fruitless skill of
specialists the subtle influence of sug-
gestion and supplementing that with
earnest prayer through many months,
Mrs. Marion Foster Washburn of Elk
hart, Ind, was recently informed by
medical men that she had saved her
little boy, whom many of the best ply
sicians in Indiana long ago gave up as
Incurable, says the New York Press.
1t was admitted by doctors who exam
aned the patient that his mother had
recalled him from the progressive de-
generation of mind and body in which
ne slowly but steadily was losing his
hold on life and that, thanks to her
fireless nursing, he had as good a
chance of becoming a fine man as any

other lad in town. The boy, who is
six years old, several years ago fell
downstairs and injured his skull at the
base of the brain. Surgeons said an
operation would kill him, and physi-
clans after repeated Treatments prophe'
sled a gradual sinking into imbeclllty,
followed by an early death.
Mrs. Washburn is a physicians wife
and has been president of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs. She
prayed not for the child's cure, but
that she might be led to discover the
proper treatment. At last she seemed
guided to the theory that suggestion
would cure him. His left side was
paralvzed, and he could walk only a
few steps without falling. 1t was all
the little chap could do to eat or talk
He had frequent hemOrrhages, which
led the medical men to think brain
clot was pressing on the penumogastrlc
nerve. Moreover, his breathing was
bad and his sleep worse. After whole
day spent in explaining to her son
what she intended to do to cure him
Mrs. Washburn that night began by
living beside him on a bed when he
was ready for slumber and whispering
into his ear.
Now you feel better" she said to
him softly. "Now my little boy is rest
ing easily. No, no, don't breathe that
way; breathe this way" and her warm
hands nodded the little chest in its In
SEPARATIONS until the intake and outgo
of air expanded the only partly used
lungs of the child, and calmly, peace
fully he sank to sleep, lulled by her
grooming tones. Night after night that
, was repeated. Day after day similar
suggestions were murmured by the
tender mother voice "Now the old side
is better" she said. Don't walk SO
quickly; walk this way, slowly" And
after long weeks, in which Mrs. Wash
burns suspense almost wore her to a
shadow, signs of improvement were
noticed.
Today the youngster is as well as If
he never had hurt his head, and the
medical profession stands in awe be-
fore the modern miracle worked by
mother love.

the two years of the government of Plehye. All these crimes were com mitted by Plehve himself or by his agents, and for that the party of So cial Revolutionists found it necessary to remove Plehve in order to save Russia from his future crimes, and in order to show that such fearful crimes against the Russian people could not remain unpunished.
 Now l would with your permission like to relate how I. a man by personal character and by my birth destined for peaceful and contented family life. was converted into a revolution ist. and gladly undertook to kill the man. My family was highly religious and monarchial and had emigrated from village to town where they
 became wealthy in the exploitation of the Bashkir forests. The spirit with which l was brought up while entire
 ly under the influence of my family was utterly opposed to every kind of protest and discomfort with the condi- tions of Russian life. Photographs ol the Emperor and ikons ornamented the walls in the house of my father
 The school did not destroy the tradi- tions which I took from my parents

There they stamp ed out all life, they extinguished sys- tematically our spirit and the lively questions" which came into our young minds. Not only did the latter get no answer but the most interesting subjects of history were suppressed, and the teachers openly jeered at the Jews and Poles. It was not the fault of the Russian teachers, they were used to reading the lies which the government told them, and it was con trary to their own ideas and per haps to former traditions. And so was a total stranger to any general wants" and without any formed ideas of the existing laws of Russia.

 My revolutionary life began in the beginning of 1901 when took part conscientiously in the Students move ments which began from the time the Kieff and St. Petersburg students were sent to serve in the army. At most was simply a liberal. The first illegal literature which came to my notice was the students proclama- tions. My comfades know well with what difficulty was brought to take part in the protest against the break ing of laws and the military service which was forced on other students. already knew that if 1 decided to pro test 1 would go to the end, and for this l would be compelled to serve in the army. At that time there was a ru- nor that several students had been shot who refused to swear allegiance and would not obey orders. The Rus sian press was forbidden to write about the students. Only the Mos COW Viedomosti occasionally wrote something. It seemed to me as if a sheet had fallen over Russia, and through this sheet could be seen vari- ous things which I could not under stand. I plunged into the demonstra- tion notwithstanding the prayers of my father to be cautious. The year 1901 was fatal to me as well as to many others. When the first shot in Kharkoff was heard 1 got afraid. had the idea that perhaps I also was m some way to blame, but the next oc. currence, as if on purpose, reversed my idea. 1 saw how the police were meddling in the affairs and playing spy I had the pleasure of being sum- moned before the local court. where they tried to give me the idea that the government could not stoop to the students. and would not do so. I was in the Moscow manege, where l was sent with many other students. There we sat three days guarded by Cos sacks and soldiers. There I heard how outside the workmen and other people tried to break the doors iD or der to release us, but we saw that against our deliverance there was a row of soldiers ready to shoot our res cuers down. After that we were sent to Butirshoe prison. and l became a

for the poor. l was compelled to of fend my father seriously because would not follow his advice and en- ter some special high school in order to make a brilliant career as an En- gineer. The word career" was hate ful to me. The knowledge which l got in the university and in the pub lie library made a total revolution in my mind. A few months changed my former ideas. But this was only an intellectual revolution. My first year in the University I read the ''Viedo- mosti" and the "Svet" never
 thought of revolution and if did know something about it, it was only from what occasionally appeared in the pa pers. l took no interest in it and found the idea to be not a correct one. In the year 1899 when the studen ts were demonstrating 1 was absent from such demonstrations. What the stu dents wanted I could not really under stand. To their meetings I did not go and only from pure friendly feeling refused to take the examination for the second standard. I was a man more or less of independent means and l was ashamed to leave my friends on the first standard who were in volved in the demonstration. Only
 during my second year at the Uniyer- sity l happened to come quite acci- dently across questions of social char

Preach ing of corporal punishment and hate of mankind revolted me. The second year of life at the University passed very well with me. 1 did not take part in the meetings and did net know
 where they had their clubs. About the question and existence of labor

convict. In this prison l for the first time became acquainted with books on revolution. For the first time I heard the brave word revolution" At this time in Moscow there happened a dem onstration of the workmen who were helping the students on the great bat tlefeld of political reform. At this time the Holy Synod accommodated the celebrated writer, Tolstoy. knew Tolstoy only as a balladist, and did not know his religious opinion. I now learned that this favored writer was cursed for sins which were not known to me. The priests cursed Tolstoy openly, l learned there is no freedom of speech in Russia. At this time Petersburg students were beaten numerically with whips at the time of a demonstration on Kazan Square. So, after being involved in these af- fairs, 1 came out a man with revolu- tionary inclinations. My destiny was decided. My coming to the way of thinking of active revolutionists was only q matter of time. Only a month or two had passed when I was arrest ed again, in April of 1901. I was ac. cused of being in possession of illegal literature. Yes, after my exclusion from the University l gradually be gan reading the books of socialistic nature, and read illegal editions, be coming more acquainted with the tasks of the revolutionists. with their way of agitating, and began to feel myself in sympathy with them. But when they arrested me so soon after my ban ishment from Moscow, l had no time, in spite of my good wishes and convic- tions, to show any activity I was ar rested first for my convictions, for my ideas. and on account of this I could not take an active part in the move ment. After banishment on account of my convictions l could not help be- ing a revolutionist.
 My relation to terror at that time was unsettled. I admitted that in some cases terror was indispensable, but on account of the peaceful and productive labor of the working class es, did not feel justified in proposing it to the mass of the revolutionary par ty. I was sure that many of us could be found, sensitive and decided, who would not be afraid to go and protect the lives and honor of citizens.

ciety. l remained in prison for one and half years, and was then ban ished for five years to the Yakoutsk government.
 My revolutionary life lasted only three years, half of which I passed .n prison. Even life in prison did not give me peace. During the search they broke my arm and stretched my mouth only because wanted to de- stroy some papers. The search wax so disgusting that my relatives thought l was going mad and would commit suicide. The gendarmes, from per sonal hatred, did not give me peace even in prison, There they daily searched me, a humiliating search from head to foot. Complaining to the procureur did not help me. I was almost driven mad by the daily disgusting behavior of the gendarmes. To my complaints, they answered: :: It is not your business
 Interviews with relatives and my mother were made torture, thanks to the gendarmes. My mother was sub jected to rough treatment, and she was advised not to have anything to do with her 'disgraceful son. My complaint on this occasion was met with, complain to the Chief of the Gendarmes.'
 As a protest against this brutality, l lasted seven days. The governor who came to me told me that the life of one student was nothing in com parison with the interests of the state. He was right. The year did not pass without seeing the sacrifice of many hundreds of lives for the state. The result of my fast was that I was sent to Samara prison. In Samara I had chance of meeting revolutionists who were chosen from all parts of Russia.
 From them, as from personal wit nesses, l knew what had happened to me had happened to others. I my. self saw people who were beaten in prisons and in police courts, people who were many times compelled to hunger for many days together. peo- pie who from want and prison life went into consumption. Every day l saw parties of political prisoners go ing to Siberia.

| company would again soon be in de. mand A years work at the proper ty may make it very much in demand. A pleasant evidence of the intention of the new organization to play fair all the way around is contained in the fact that during the week local ground owners who hold stock in the company were notified that their as- sessment work for this year would count at full value on the assessment levy.
 Gold Nugget stock goes to dollar tomorrow. when it is expected that the stamps at the property will com mence to drop. Gold Nugget is mak- ing an exceedingly clean start on this new era in it's career. It begins with out a cents indebtedness. The last payment on the mill was made during the week just closed. The payroll is paid up to date and there is money ahead to meet it for some time to come.
 Before the fund in the traesury is near exhausted the ore that is on the damp in sufficient quantity to run the mill for couple of years. with ore blocked out in the groung sufficient to run it for several times the length cf that period, ought to be getting in good work in the way of fixing surplus for the treasury that will make the future look very pleasant. The Collards, practical mill and min ing men, who have the conduct of the property in hand, are now the turn ing point If they make good. and those who have knowledge of their talents have every confidence that they will, Gold Nugget is sure of mak- ing some cheerful stockholders in the course of the year.
 The administrator of an estate does not often come out the loser by his work. Frank Bopp. of this city. scores an exception to the rule. Bopp was made the administrator of the estate of C. W. Scott when the latter died several months ago. Mir. Scott left nothing tangible behind in the way of earthly possessions except few unpatented mining claims. Assessment work was due on the claims shortly after M Scott's death. Mir. Bopp asked the probate court about doing the assessment work and retaining the estate of Mir Scott until it could be disposed of for the benefit of cred itors. The court could find nothing in law that authorized instruction Of Bopp to do the work. Nor could it find anything that provided in any way for the disposal of the claims. At this time a couple of gentlemen who wanted the claims and had it arranged to relocate the ground at the first of the year discovered that there was some doubt as to the status theclaims would have after they did jump them, the estate being taken in to consideration. They offered Mir Bopp $20O if he would give them title, as administrator. Bopp told them he could not do this. Law pro viding for such action was lacking. The claims were jumped and the jumpers have them. To make for a little ease of conscience, maybe. they insisted on passing the $20O to Bopp. Now Bepp gave nothing in return for the money, nor did he compromise himself in any manner by accepting
