than quadruple its evil, for 1t would cast
off practically all restraint from those in
terests which are every day rapidly ac-
quiring enormous land holdings, running
up into the hundreds OF thousands of
acres. Nebraska was foolish enough to
blight the future of the western half of
the State by allowing the passage of the
Kinkaid law. Statesmen representing in

OFFERS A NEW
CURE FOR SOUL

To those i'll in body, mind or soul, a
corporate legalized yesterday, says:
"Ye shall be healed and made whole
again."
1t matters mot whether you have
been abandoned by the surgeon, given
up by the physician, have repudiated
the doctrine of Mary Baker Eddy, or
your germs have survived the wither-
ing touch of Elijah H." new cure is
at hand. 1t is offered by the Now
Folk" a corporation that filed its let
ters yesterday with the County Clerk
backing its belief in the efficacy of it's
system with a capital stock of $3.50,
000, all of which, the papers say, has
been subscribed.
This cure is to be effected by means
of physical, mental and spiritual vibra-
tion- Just the method by which the vi
bration of the spirit is to be accom-
phshed is not set forth; it is one of the
secrets of the corporations secret
that mystifies, and those things that
mystify are the assets of every corpo
ration wherein the harnessing and con-
troll of the soul is an avowed and prin-
cipal object The holders of this and
other valuable secrets that Will soon be
dispensed are the directors of the cor
erett r. Chappell, Samuel Exton
Foulds, Leona B. Chappell and Mar
garet A. Winans. The gentlemen
named have subscribed the stock that
will launch the corporation on its mis-
sion of mercy.
1t is the purpose of the corporation,
say the directors, to establish depart
ments to carry on the several branches
of the Now Folk" There will be
branches of authorship, printing, pub
fishing, teaching, lecturing, learning,
healing, religion, telepathy, psychology,
psychometry and physiology Then, In
addition to these, there will be Now
Folk centers for the spreading of the
Now Folk work, missions and pro-
paganda, investigation, unfoldment and
demon nstration of mind soul and char
acter reading of both the living and
the dead, through physical, mental and
spiritual vibration: there will be Now

sorts, Now Folk sanftariums, hostel
ries and industries.
There is but little between the whole
sweep of business and religion that is
not included in the specified purposes
there seems to stand alone the often,
but differently, expressed human desire
to know in life what waits beyond

BUCCANEER MAY
RUN INTO TRAP

News of Captain Alexander Mclean
is expected at any time by the local
Federal authorities. The Carmencita is
somewhere in the Bering Sea, away
from telegraph wires and cables and
the pirate is yet ignorant of the fact
that a hue and cry has been raised about
him. 1t is thought here that he will
put into Victoria soon and attempt to
BLUM his way out, as he has done so
many times before.
There is slight chance that he may
receive news from some Japanese
poaching vessel from Hakodate But
that chance is regarded the barest sort
of possibility, for Mclean is~not liked
among the poachers. Disregarding. the
maxim of honor among thieves, he
has been known to rob his brother
poachers up in that region where
there is no law of God or man.
The alleged pirate was last heard OF at
Victoria on February %, 1905. He put
into the port for supply of provisions.
At that time he was flying Norwegian
flag. Awkward questions We're asked
him concerning his right to fly that flag
and he did not tarry long. 1t is ex-
pected that he will put into Victoria
before long for fresh supplies.
The authorities at Victoria have been
notified and if the Carmencita drops
anchor there it will mean the end of
her voyage. If the buccaneer vessel Is
sighted by a warship of any nation
now she will be fired upon and If what
ever flag she may be flying Is not
struck she will be sunk.
S. e. r. de Smidt. the last of Nc
Leans alleged co-conspirators to be
arrested, showed a disposition to talk
yesterday. but was advised by his at
torneys to say nothing. He admitted,
however, that he was with Mclean dur
ing the raid on the Copper Island rook-
cries.
E. F. Scott, who secured the Mexican
register for the Carmencita, declares
that w. J. Woodside at that time rep
resented himself as the owner Of the
schooner. Woodside Indignantly denies
that he knew anything about the Car
or Mclean.
When the Mexican register was taken
from the Carmencita, Scott declares,
Woodside wanted him to secure another
from some South America republic, but
Scott says that he refused to have any,
thing more to do with the matter.

realize that If she were to go home with
