THE HOLY JUMPERS.

People in Denver who live near the
Pentecostal Union, sect better
known as the Jumpers" have sent
in a fat petition asking the city coun-
ell to suppress the noise of this re-
ligious sect. The petition says in
part:
1.-The Jumpers are the cause of an
almost continuous disturbance be-
cause of their loud wailings, scream
ings, jumping up and down on the
floor, absurd music, beating Of bass
drums, and their frequent act of lit
orally standing on their heads, both
sexes practicing this religious gym
nastic feat The noise made during
their extraordinary services is enough
to drive a sane person out Of his wits.
ION Sunday morning the riot begins
at an early hour, 5 or 6 o'clock, and
it continues the greater portion Of the
day. Services are also held on Tues
day and Friday evenings, and some
times other evenings of the week, the
terrific din and noise lasting, perhaps,
until II o'clock.
THE rawlings of the damned can be
no more blood-curdling than some of
the sounds that emanate from the
Pentecostal temple when one of their
services is in progress.
THE west wall of the Glider hotel
is only four feet from the Jumpers
building In warm weather the WIN
dows of both buildings are open, and
the pandemonium let loose when a
session is going on is simply indie
scribable.
will the members of this honorable
board please try to imagine the diff
Guilty of endeavoring to entertain
guests under such conditions? The
neighborhood is becoming an unde-
sirable place to reside, and the
Jumpers are adversely affecting prop
erty values in the neighborhood."
The Jumpers enjoy their religion
and if the petitioners have not lied
about them it must be a religion that
saves gymnasium expenses and OBJ
viates the necessity of lung testers"
And that is something.

TWO YOUNGSTERS INJURED.
AIpowa Girl Bitten by Rattlesnake-
PeoIa Boy Shoots Himself.

POMEROY, Aug. 29.-The 13-year-
old daughter of Richard Robinson, re-
siding on the Alpowa, 20 miles north
east of Pomeroy, was bitten by a
ratt1esnake and is in a critical con-
dition. The girl was walking in the
yard barefootei.a She stepped on the
snake and was struck in the foot near
the big toe. Rattlers are reported to
be more numerous in this part Of the
state this year than for several years
past.
The 12-year-old son of j. H. Wealth
erly, residing near Peola, in this coun-
IT, accidentally shot himself with a
32-calibre pistol. In the act Of plling
the pistol from his pocket he dis
charged it. The bullet entered his
thigh ranging downward and lodged
in the calf Of mis- leg. The boy was
brought to town for surgical aid.

SOME oD1oUs COMPARISONS.

The morning paper raises a lugu-
brious wall because the county COM
missioners have applied to Judge
Brents for authorization to allow
themselves to pay for work per-
formed at special sessions. This is
indeed a new departure, but 1t is IN
strict conformity with the law. The
last board of commissioners were
in the habit of allowing themselves
nav fer special sessions, extra SER
vice, team hire, ETC., without regard
to the law. or what Judge Brents
might think of it. The present COM
rnissioners in referring the question
of extra pay for special services are
showing some regard for the oath
they took on assuming office that they
would uphold the laws of the state.
Judge Brents is asked to allow the
commissioners for special services in
July and August of this year to-
tai of $15S.45, of which ]. H. Mar.
row asks $21.75, George Struthers
$4,000 and ]. N. McCaw $3.50.
The present board Of commission
ers mas been in office since last jan
uary, Morrow and Struthers being
new members and ]. N. McCaw the
hold-over member. Below will be
hn oil nyIro n
made to each commissioner for each
month, beginning with January and
ending with August, 1904, as COM
pared with the allowances for the
same months during the incumbency
of the present board for the year
1905.
In explanation of the fact that
Commissioner McCaw draws much
heavier pay than either of the other
commissioners, it is only just to say
that he has a much larger territory
to look after in respect to road work.
The principal item in miscellan-
eous expenditures was for team hire.
1t will be seen that for miScellane-
Gus purposes for eight months in
1894 the allowance was $3S4.43, while
under the present board for the same
period this year the allowance was
only 5000.
The total allowance for the ex-
penses of the commissioners during
the first eight months Of last year
was $2,OS2.25; for the same period
this year the allowance was only
$772.70-a saving of nearly two-thirds

THE LATE TOM BAWDEN.

Tom Bawden of Detroit is dead.
Possibly you never heard of Tom, but
you know others like him. Tom Baw-
den was a single tax enthusiast"
In the SOS when so many people
thought that a remedy for all our
troubles had been found at last, Tom
ry Georges Progress and Poverty"
1t was an eye opener! Tom Bawden
saw clearly for the first time in his
life what the trouble with the world
was-and the remedy. If the world
could be brought to read Progress
and Poverty and to read it hard
enough to get the idea, all would be
we'll.
Bawden devoted the best years of
his life to exploiting another mans
theories. He believed that in Prog
ress and Poverty" was contained the
germ of coming social revolution and
the Fastening of that revolution be-
came the one object of his existence.
With a pen that was always forcible
if sometimes ungrammatical and
voice that had similar characteristics
he spread the gospel to the benighted.
He watched the growth of the idea
with eager interest and when the
propaganda began to decline. Tom
Bawden did not decline. AS public
indifference grew, an Indifference to
showed no diminution in the fervor of
his ardent championship. What diff
ference did it make, provided the
single tax was the truth, and of that
there could be no doubt, whether pub
lie opinion shifted one way or the
other, sooner or later it would have to
come around. In sizing up Tom Baw-
denis career, the Detroit Journal says:
Better men than Tom Bawden have
been refreshed and strengthened and
encouraged by taking note of Tom
Bawden's enthusiasm and persever-
ance. What couldn't any of us ac-
oomplish if we had the ability to be-
lieve in some one thing as implicitly
as Tom Bawden believed?"
Another cheering thing about the
single tax mans enthusiasm was the
fact that it was unselfisn. Tom Baw-
den was working for the general good.
There was "nithing in it for him" ex-
cept as the general betterment of the
world makes for the advantage of the
individual.

Braeey Arrested as Murderer.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-In the arrest
of William Bracey, half-witted ne
gro waiter, employed at the Holland
hotel, the police believe they have the
murderer of Mrs. Eff1e Mize, the
wealthy New York widow killed by a
highwayman at Fifty eighth street
and Washington avenue.
the evidence pointing to him is
furnished by two girls, employed as
chambermaids in a nearby hotel, who
told the police that they had seen
Bracey following Mrs. Mize and Mrs.
Wilson on the evening of the muir der
and that they heard the shot fired
that killed Mrs. Mize shortly after they
had noticed MIN.
The negro denies all knowledge of
the crime, and says that he spent
the evening in Jackson park.
The girls, upon whose information
he was arrested, are Moran O'Hara
and Nellie Curran. They are posi-
tive in their identification and say
they could not be mistaken in the man,
because they became we'll acquainted
with him during his employment at
the MOTEL.
Mrs. Wilson, who was with the MUIR
dered woman when she was killed,
and who has maintained that the
murderer was white man, admitted
today that in the dim light of the
street lamps she might have been
mistaken. Bracey is a mulatto and
the police believe it possible that in
taken him for a white man.

ACCIDENT ON THE RAIL.
Unique Proceeding Of Coroner and
Jury at Butte.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 29.-While the
coroner's jury and several hundred
spectators watched with interest last
night, the details of tle terrible acct
dent of last Sunday night were enact
ed again, but the horror of the affair
was eliminated and no lives were lost
and no property destroyed.
The proceeding was unique. Coro-
ner Egan, the jury and attorneys in
the case were taken in special jumbo
car No. -, which is a sister car to
the one in the accident to the scene
of the honor. Manager Wharton of the
street-car company, was in the party
and several Butte, Anaconda & Pa
cific officials came up from Anaconda
by special to witness an exhibition
before whom an investigation is being
made as to who are responsible for
the accident by which eight persons
were killed, one injured SO badly that
she died yesterday, and a score of
others more or less severely hurt.
Superintendent Kingsley, of the
Butte, Anaconda & Pacific company
had a car placed alongside the Armour
building in the same position it stood
Sunday night. A train was made up
of fourteen big freight cars, which
were handled by the same crew an
with the same engine that figured in
Sunday nigats accident. The trairl
was taken west Of Utah avenue an
backed across the street-car track,
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-08-29

while the big jumbo street-car stood
within a few feet Of it with six jurors
in the front seat.
The train was first backed along
Iron street and across the street-car
track on Utah avenue while Conduc-
tor Hoagland stood on top Of the front
car waving his lantern, as it is said
by some that he did Sunday night.
The cars were dashed by a second
during both exhibitions the jurors
were within a few feet Of the cars and
as near to the spot where the smash
up occurred as they could get safely.

SISTERS PERISH.
Humboldt, Iowa, ParaIyzed by Tragic
Death Of Two Girls.


FORT DODGE, Iowa, Aug. o.
Struggling in twelve feet of water
with the Des Moines river raging,
Chas. Nelson tried in vain to climb
ashore with Pauline Meter, who was
drowned, while Nelson reached shore
alive.
Pauline and Ida Metzner with a
company of friends We're enjoying a
picnic upon the Des Moines yesterday,
above Humboldt, celebrating the birth
day of Pauline. While in the act of
boarding a rowboat to return home
on account of the storm, the boat
slipped out from under them. Pauline
grasped Nelson about the neck, drag
ging him with her into the water.
Nelson reached the shore three times
but the rocky bank crumbled away
each time. At the third attempt to
land Pauline lost ner hold and sank
from view. Nelson finally reached
shore exhausted.
Ida MetZner, in a vain attempt to
assist, lost her balance and fell strik-
ing her mead on a rock. She rolled in
the river and sank at once. The body
Of Pauline was found twenty minutes
later and the body of Ida three hours
later. Examination showed that the
latter had no water in her lungs, indi-
eating death from shock or heart
trouble.

Two Glasses Immune.

DR.. Sellen says: There are only
two classes of persons VINO cannot be
hypnotized-insane persons and idiats'
A person, however, who has no GRIM
inal inclinations cannot be induced to
commit a crime. 1t is important that
a person should maintain a positive
attitude. One should not accept what
others state, but should investigate
for himself. We can escape all evil
influence by avoiding evil thinking.
Persons may be hypnotized, not only
by persons who are present, but by
those who are not. Business men are
proof against involuntary hypnotism
because they are accustomed to ac-
cept nothing except on its merits and
their minds are likely to be absorbed
in whatever they are doing. They are
therefore, in a positive attitude"

What Crusader Said.
Passes made over the body some
times equalize the circulation and re-
move distractions in the organism
but these cases are rare. More often
insanity is the result. Two young
men in Cincinnati became members
Of class in nypnotism and allowed
themselves to be used as subjects.
Three years later one is an inmate of
an insane asylum and the second on
the way there.
Mr.. Washburn, a Buffalo wheat
dealer, killed his wife and daughter
and then committed I suicide. This
was after he, a we'll balanced, hard
headed business man, conceived the
notion that ne could help the dis
embodied spirits of the dead. He
found a medium who got him into
communication with the spirits.
People of certain caliber of mind
will be affected by the mere holding
Of a seance in the neighborhood where
they are. A Columbus, Ohio, young
man in room adjoining a seance
was made so restless that he could not
sleep and said he wanted to commit
murder. He did not commit it, but
he wanted to.
A husband conceived tine idea of
hypnotizing his wife with a view of
Kidding himself of her. His suggest
ions worked we'll. She left him. Then
she went insane. The husband got
frightened and reversed the process.
She recovered and returned to him,
but there always afterward appeared
to be mental reservation and aversion
to him.
