HYPNOTISM MAY BE
 CAUSE OF DEPARTURE
Mystery Surrounding Disappearance of John w. Duncan From Chatta-
 nooga Is Heightened.

Chattanooga, September 8.--(Special.)- Did John w. Duncan, the popular hotel clerk who so mysteriously disappeared from this city last Tuesday morning, throw himself into trance and meet with a tragic end or has he been drawn to California through the hypnotic influences of J. B. Allen, the former teacher of hypnotism?
 These two questions are bothering the friends of the missing man. It Is claimed that Duncan and Allen were great friends and students of hypnotism and mineral ogy. Allen left this city some time ago and is now in Los Angeles. Duncan left little over a week ago without telling any of his friends or acquaintances. All his accounts were straight, he was never known to take drink and was regarded as a Christian. His sudden and myster- ious disappearance created great sensa- tion. Some time ago Duncan and Allen hypnotized a negro who told them of a hidden treasure on Lookout mountain, which was left there during the civil war. Investigation showed every detail con- corning the location of the treasure to be correct except that something. pre-
 
 moved from the hole which the negro des- ignated The two men also made exten- sive investigations in a long cave which extends thirty miles through Lookout mountain and claimed to find rich mineral deposits.
 It is the supposition that Duncan either threw himself into a trance as he was in the habit of doing and then became unable to throw off the strange power with the result that he wandered under the mountain and was lost, or that Allen has used his power on him at distance of 5000 miles, compelling him to go to California. Friends of the missing man claim that in any other case Duncan would have notified them of his intended departure.
 Duncans disappearance has been put into the hands of local officers and they are now working on the case.

cause of Small Yield.
Special to Times Republican.

| LeMars. April 10.-The acreage oil
| wheat in the northwest part or IN
state will be smaller this year than
for many years. Farmers who here
tofore have been putting in many acres
of wheat have resolved to refrain from
it this year, because their experience
has been disastrous. Despite the fact
that wheat has been a good price the
WELD has been so small the fairness
find they cannot afford to raise it. The
total financial income is found not
to be so large as with some other crops
not so valuable per bushel but yield
ing much more per acre. Instead on
putting their land in wheat farmers
are sowing more and more tame
grass. From continuous raising of two
or three crops upon the greater part
OF the cultivated land Of many counties
the ground has become dead for these
crops. The properties required to
raise wheat, corn and oats. have De-
come exhausted, and farmers have 1ot
been returning to the ground the nj
trates in as great quantity as taey
have been forcing out by constant use
of the land. Farmers Of the northern
counties are sticklers on the scien life
farming but they have learned thru
year of experience, and some o. 1t
costly, the value of renewing the land.
They have found that tame grasses,
such as: timothy, clover, alfalfa and
other nitrogen producing plants leave
the ground in better shape than ut was
when 1t was broken up the first time.
In addition to the new life the nitrogen
plants infuse into the ground they are
also very useful during that time to
the farmers for hay, forage and green
fodder, sufficiently so to make the land
pay while even being rejuvenilted.
Farmers are putting lin a greater aver
age of clover this year than ever be-
fore. 1t grows quick and yields big
returns. Much of it is sown with
oats. The oats grow rapidly, ripen,
and can be harvested early without
any injury to the clover. The clover
will produce two crops the second and
so no time is lost. The same thing is
true of alfalfa

DuNNE FOR PRESIDENT
Chicago Mayor Already Is Suggested
in Washinaton Circles.

III vv0oIuaSsSu SnS'SSs
Washington, April 10.-Mayor- elect
Dunno, of Chicago, has landed at one
leap into national prominence, and
eastern politicians are already under
taking to figure out what is likely to
happen during the next three years.
Durme as q leader and presidential
candidate of party backed by Bryan,
Hearst, Watson, Tom Johnson, Tag
CART and other radicals is considered
more than a probability by Washing
ton politicians, and interesting devel-
opments are confidently expected In
any event.
The bitter feeling between Hearst
and Tammany in New York is we'll
known. The stupendous majority of
Roosevelt was a body blow for con-
to the People," is interpreted as the
first gun. 1t is said an agreement
upon main issues has been reached by
Bryan, Hearst and Watson and that
these men are laying plans for a
campaign in 1908, that will draw from
the free silver movement in 1885, when
that issue was at it's pinnacle of in
tensity, with municipal and govern
ment ownership of utilities as the star
feature, and with Judge Dunno as the
standard bearer. Astute politicians in
Washington, among them able Iowa
men, regard such program as alto
gether likely.
1t is freely admitted that the result
in Chicago has given public control
of utilities a tremendous impetus

that with the beard grown out again

PRAISED BY MORMON.
Apostle Smith Declares Roosevelt Is
All Rioht.

u
Salt Lake City. April 1o.-Hyrum
Mack Smith, son OF President Smith
and youngest of the Mormon apostles,
in u sermon at the conference paid a
tribute to President Roosevelt. He
said
"In President Roosevelt we have n
| friend and he has friends among the
Latter Day Saints, and we will be true
to him and true to Old Glory. for we
are a true people. President Roose-
welt has the courage of his convictions
and is not moved by prejudice. He
will give us a square deal. We will do
all we can to sustain President Roose-
velt for we are true to him, and will
demonstrate 1t in the future as we
have proved 1t in the past
| Apostle Smiths statements concern
ing Roosevelt Were made incidental to
an attack plainly directed at former
Senator Cannon and C. A. Smurth-
waite. who have been bitterly censur-
ing President Joseph II. Smith thru
local newspapers. Apostle Smith said
the real murderers of Lincoln, Car
field and Mckinley had never been
punished Newspaper writers and

BILE for the murders, he declared.
j. Golden Kimball, one of the Nor
mon high priests, advised the Nor
mons to retaliate on Gentiles who
criticize President Smith.
IF Joseph f. Smith did not re-
strain his children some men in this
community would be horsewhipped,"
he said. "Any man has right to leave
the church but no man has right to
be traitor to the church. When you
want to go to HI, black your boots
and go like gentleman, not like a
traitor
The expected revelation was not
given Sunday, the last day of the con-
ference. 1t is now believed that the
church leaders intend to fight the OPP
position within and without the church
by communicating Mormons who as
sert themselves, and by organized re-
talatory measures against Gentiles
who become active in opposition to
the church.
