Where Did the Money Go
To-.

To?.
The following appeared in the
Lexington paper this week
The las election officers who
served in the primary election In
Lexington and Fayette county, and
who we're promised by Chairman
Mott Ayres Of the Beckham or
ganization 81 apiece for their
services, will not receive a cent.
The announcement is made that
there is no money in the hands OF
the committee 10 meet this expense
and the supposition is that the funds
intended for this purpose we're all
used 10 purchase votes.
The usual pay OF election officers
is 81, and the officers serving in the
regular election will receive that
amount but Chairman Mott Ayres,
of the Subcommittee Of the State
Executive Committee. who had the
distribution Of the fund for campaign
expenses. conceived the idea that
several thousand dollars could be
saved for more useful campaign
purposes. and give out the statment
that the election officers IN the
primary through out the State had
consented 10 serve for 81 apiece.
And nov even the 81 that vas
promised, and which none OF the
election officers in Fayetie county
viii admit that they agreed 10 ac-
cept, is not forthcoming.
The awful truth OF a busted" ca
chequer and the protest Of election
claims came 20 light Wednesday
morning when several election
officers made application for their
money al Democratic headquarters.
Among the officers who applied
for their Ter diem we're David
McCord. clerk in the Boone's Greek
precinct; W. F. Downing. Judge Ia
Ashland avenue precinct. and L. p.
Payne sheriff In the Lottie street
precinct.
They first applied to Chairman
Wiley Of the MoCreary Advisory
Committee for the Seventh Disiric,
and we're directed 10 call on Ben
Freedman. to whom Chairman Mott
Ayres sent the boxes. ballots an
funds for election expenses. Nj
Freedman was seen. bat there vas

gentleman With their uncashed
election claims that there vas no,
cent IN the hands Of the committee
and no money had been received for
payment Of election officers.
Where Is the money! Is the
question that the disappointed elect
Ion Officers al over the county are
asking themselves. The only So

campaign purposes" the Beckham

moved his medicines from among secret

THE ROSE OF JERICHO.
II La the Original of All the Resurrec-
ton Plants.


ton Plants.
Several varieties Of the so called
resurrection plant have appeared
among the novelties offered by florists,
but the original Is the rose OF Jericho.
Along the shores Of the Dead sea, far
enough away to be out Of reach of the
death dealing vapOrs and the salt
spray, grows this rose. a little plant
famed In many a legendary story,
which, when ripened, rolls up it's sprays
and branches into curious little brown
ball.
The desert winds snap off its dry
stem and whirl the seemingly dead
little ball away over sandy plains, like
a featherweight. After 1t chances to
reach some damp place, in about ten
days, the moisture has wrought mira
Gle. for the once dead is alive again
green and growing.
The old time pilgrims, who brought
back this plant with them from the
Holy Land, told wonderful tales of its
power to bloom out on Christmas day
and gave It the name of resurrection
flower. Another old legend names 1t
st. Mary's rose, because 1t Is said that
when Joseph and Mary were fleeing
from Egypt one of these flowers grew
from every spot where they halted to
rest.
The dry ball when unfolding drops
its seed. and from these 1t may be cul-
tivated as an annual. To resurrect
these dry balls It is simply necessary
to keep them standing in glasses Of wa
ter, immersed about halfway to the
top Of their branches. The expansion
is merely a mechanical, spongelike
process.
The botanical name of the rose Of
Jericho Is anastatica, from anastasis,
resurrection There are other species
Of resurrection plants. but they are not
so attractive as their Dead sea relative.

MESMER'S METHODS.
Ne Influenced Patients by Sugges-
ton. but Hid Real Power

Ne Influenced Patients by SugGes-
ton. but Hid Real Power.
Mesmer published in 1878 his ac-
count Of the marvellous cures effected
by what he was pleased to term an
imal magnetism. When in 1778 he
came to Paris he came with a well de-
veloped sense of the value of advertis-
Ing. The campaign he inaugurated was
of character to disgust the conserya-
tive and thoughtful, but to take a SEN
sation loving populace by storm Most
extravagant tales of cures he had ac-
complished in Berlin, Vienna and else
where were noised abroad Through
a convert he challenged the physicians
Of Paris to enter into a contest with
him, they to treat twelve patients by
the orthodox methods, be to treat
twelve by his. OF course this challenge
was rejected, and equally of course
its rejection was interpreted by the
thoughtless as an acknowledgment Of
the superiority of Mesmer's treatment.
His rooms were thronged His purse
waxed constantly heavier.
The treatment he gave was such as
to appeal wildly to the Imagination of
the patient-in a word, to increase his
suggestibility. Suggestion, indeed, was
its root element, although Mesmer fail
ed or pretended to fail to recognize this
and taught that its efficacy depended
upon the effiuence of a mysterious
fluid. In a room dimly lighted and
hung with mirrors the patients were
seated about circular vat Of con
siderable size covered with a lid and
containing various chemicals. A long
cord connected the patients with one
another, while in the lid of the tub
were several holes, through each Of
which passed an iron rod bent In such
way that its point could be applied
to any part of patients body The
patients were requested not to speak
the only sound in the room being
strains of soft music. When expectan-
cy was at its food Mesmer would en-
ter clad in the robe of a magician and
carrying an iron wand At one patient
he would gaze intently, and another he
would stroke gently with his wand
Soon some would burst into laughter,
others into tears, while still others
would fall into commissions, finally
passing into lethargic state, out of
which, 1t is claimed. they emerged
cured or on the highroad to cure.
Occasionally the treatment was given
outdoors, a tree being "magnetized''
and the patient collapsing In a swoon
so soon as he approached it.-Apple-
